However, in stark contrast to Xia Wan, her brother Xia Tao appeared remarkably calm.

He coughed twice to calm himself down before saying, "Ahem... I heard it from someone else. Apparently, that woman seems to be mentally unstable, her behavior is a bit strange, but she's incredibly strong."

Our father had just undergone surgery and was still very weak when this happened out of nowhere... Later, the woman's family even tried to extort money from our family, but fortunately, Grandpa Xia and others arrived in time to prevent the situation from escalating further. Thankfully, it was a close call.

"Brother, did you close the door when you went out to buy food?" Xia Wan frowned slightly, turned her gaze to her brother, and asked in a calm tone. It was just a casual question, without any hint of blame.

Upon hearing his sister's question, Xia Tao paused for a moment, seemingly lost in deep thought. After a long while, he slowly replied, "I remember... I think I closed the door properly." His expression was somewhat confused, as if he wasn't entirely sure whether he had closed the door correctly.

Xia Wan nodded, trying to calm herself down. Then her gaze swept back and forth between her brother and the ward, and she asked her brother in a low voice, "Did Dad say how he plans to handle this? Are they just going to let those people off so easily?"

For some reason, Xia Wan had a vague feeling that this matter was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.

Why did that woman choose her father's room, which had its door tightly closed, when there were so many wards in the hospital? Is there some unknown secret or conspiracy hidden behind this?

Xia Tao scratched his head, pondering how to answer his sister's question. After a moment, he finally spoke, "Well, I'm not really sure about the specifics."

However, judging from Old Master Xia's expression at the time, he certainly wouldn't let it go easily. Moreover, the woman had already been taken away by his men, so he'll likely conduct a thorough investigation into the whole matter.

After listening to her brother's words, Xia Wan thought to herself: It seems that this matter is not going to end so easily! I wonder how many complicated inside stories and unexpected developments will be involved next?

A dark cloud seemed to hang over the depths of her heart, and a vague sense of unease followed her like a shadow, constantly eroding her thoughts.

She couldn't help but wonder if this seemingly accidental event concealed some unfathomable and unknown conspiracy.

Just as she was lost in thought, Xia Jianguo's slightly deep yet authoritative voice suddenly came from inside the ward: "What are you two little ones whispering about outside the door? Come in and tell me."

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister exchanged a glance, and then walked slowly into the ward with slightly hesitant steps.

As soon as they entered the ward, Xia Jianguo's sharp gaze fell directly on them, and he immediately asked, "What's going on? Judging from your appearances, do you have something important to hide from me?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Wan finally decided to tell her father everything that Xia Tao had told her before.

After Xia Jianguo heard everything his daughter had said, his expression changed slightly for a moment, but only for a fleeting instant. He quickly regained his previous calm and composed demeanor and softly comforted her:

"Don't worry too much. Grandpa Xia has already taken all the relevant people away. With his abilities and methods, he will definitely be able to get to the bottom of this thoroughly."

At this moment, Xia Jianguo believed that the reason his two children were whispering and talking at the door was simply because they were discussing things about their grandfather.

To his utter surprise, the focus of their discussion was not so simple, but rather another major event that was completely unexpected!

Just then, Xia Wan cautiously asked tentatively, "Father, have you already decided to go back?"

After all, judging from the tone and attitude of my father just now, he clearly trusted that Mr. Xia quite a bit, and there was no sign that he wanted to sever ties with him at all!

Xia Jianguo sighed deeply, his face full of worry, and said, "It's not as simple as whether I want to go back or not. This series of troubles has come knocking on my door! You all know perfectly well that what happened today is no accident! It's clear that someone is deliberately targeting me!"

Of all those present, no one knew the specifics of the situation better than him.

The woman might have some mental issues, but the moment she pushed open the ward door, Xia Jianguo could tell that she was absolutely conscious.

Let's talk about the man who suddenly appeared later, claiming to be that woman's brother.

The calculating glint in his eyes, and the fear and trepidation he displayed after Old Master Xia appeared, all pointed to a hidden agenda behind the entire incident.

At the same moment, in a secluded corner of the hospital, a middle-aged man with a fearful expression was bowing and scraping to a plainly dressed woman, muttering something incessantly.

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said urgently, "This plan has completely fallen through! That old bastard Xia Xiong's timing was just too perfect. And Zhu Hong has already been taken away by them. I really don't know if she will betray us."

The woman gave a cold snort, her sharp voice seemingly piercing the air. She stared intently at the man before her with eyes full of contempt and disgust, making no attempt to hide her disdain for him.

"What's the rush? Listen to me carefully, your sister is a complete lunatic, she can't handle even the slightest stimulation! Understand? Also, if anyone asks about me, you must pretend you don't know me at all. If you dare to utter a single word, you'll face the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man felt a sudden pang in his heart, as if he had been ruthlessly abandoned by this woman.

His face instantly turned ashen, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
