Chapter 486: How is Nian Nian?

"How is Nian Nian?" The first thing he asked about was his daughter's safety.

Zhao Xiyue dug her nails into her palms, trying to suppress all the complicated emotions she felt for this man. Her voice was dry, "He's out of danger for now, but the doctor said a bone marrow transplant is necessary immediately."

"I know." Chi Wenyan's eyes fell heavily on her exhausted face, "I'll find a way."

"You think of a way?" Zhao Xiyue felt like she had just heard a huge joke. The pent-up resentment and despair made her speak without thinking. "Chi Wenyan, if it weren't for you and that bitch Su Jiujiu, would Wanwan have ended up like this with me? Would Nian Nian be lying there, hanging in the balance?"

She took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly becoming firm: "Leave Nian Nian to me, I will take good care of her, and I will find a way to save her."

She must take Nian Nian away, bring her to Su Jiujiu, and complete the transplant as soon as possible.

Chi Wenyan's dark eyes suddenly narrowed, emitting a sharp light: "Leave Nian Nian to you? Zhao Xiyue, what gives you the right?"

"Because I am Nian Nian... because I care about her more than you do." Zhao Xiyue's emotions were a little out of control and her voice became sharp.

"You will only make her mother sad and put her in danger." She tried to move forward and push Chi Wenyan away, wanting to rush towards the ward.

"I won't let you take Nian Nian away." Chi Wenyan remained motionless, his voice as cold as iron, "Especially now that Su Jiujiu is missing."

Zhao Xiyue's movements suddenly paused, her heart skipping a beat. She forced herself to remain calm and met Chi Wenyan's inquiring gaze. "What do you mean? What does Su Jiujiu's disappearance have to do with me?"

"What's it to you?" Chi Wenyan took a step forward, his powerful aura almost forcing Zhao Xiyue to retreat. "Su Jiujiu is missing, and you're so anxious to take Nian Nian away, claiming you can find a way to save her. Zhao Xiyue, did you hide Su Jiujiu? Do you want to use her bone marrow to save Nian Nian?"

The man's voice was not loud, but every word was like a hammer, hitting Zhao Xiyue's defenses hard.

"I didn't." She blurted out, but her voice was weak, even she didn't realize it. "Chi Wenyan, don't slander me. I don't even know where Su Jiujiu is."

"Really?" Chi Wenyan's eyes were icy cold, locking onto her tightly. "That would be great. Zhao Xiyue, I'm warning you, if you dare use her to deal with Ji Wan, or use her bone marrow without permission, I will never let you go, and I will never let Nian Nian accept 'kindness' from such a shameful source."

"Do you think Wanwan will be grateful to you after she knows the truth? She will only hate you even more. She will hate you for dragging her and Nian Nian into this dirty scheme."

"I didn't, I said I didn't." These words were like poisoned blades, peeling away Zhao Xiyue's disguised strength bit by bit. She could no longer maintain her composure, and she pushed Chi Wenyan away and staggered around.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Nian Nian needs me."

Her back was in a panic, her steps were messy, and she was almost running away.

Chi Wenyan watched her embarrassed figure disappear at the end of the corridor, his eyes growing colder. Zhao Xiyue's reaction undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.

He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a number. His voice was as cold as ice: "Immediately check all of Zhao Xiyue's whereabouts in the past 24 hours. Focus on checking all hidden properties, warehouses, and any places where she might be hiding. Su Jiujiu is most likely in her hands."

No matter what, he must find Su Jiujiu as soon as possible, not only to stop Zhao Xiyue's madness, but also to prevent Ji Wan from being hurt again because of these dirty things.

At the other end of the corridor, Zhao Xiyue, like a frightened rabbit, slammed open the emergency exit door, and the cold wind rushed in, making her slightly sober for a moment. Chi Wenyan's eyes and words were like maggots on the tarsal bones, tightly grasping her heart and making her breathless.

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Chi Wenyan was already suspicious and he would definitely investigate. She didn't have time.

Nian Nian, her Nian Nian is still waiting for help.

Zhao Xiyue wiped her face, a desperate madness flashing in her eyes. She took out her cell phone and, with trembling fingers, dialed a number she knew by heart.

The moment the call was connected, Ji Wan's cold voice came, without a trace of warmth: "Zhao Xiyue? You still have the nerve to call me?"

"Wanwan." Zhao Xiyue's voice was hoarse, with a strong tone of crying and anxiety. "Wanwan, listen to me, I have a way to save Nian Nian, I really do have a way."

"Your plan?" Ji Wan sneered, each word coming out as if icy. "Send Chi Wenyan to some other woman's bed, and then tell me it's all for Nian Nian, okay? Zhao Xiyue, I really see through you."

These words pierced Zhao Xiyue's heart like a sharp knife, and she almost curled up in pain. But she couldn't fall down. She took a deep breath and shouted with all her strength.

"I found Su Jiujiu, Wanwan, I found that bitch, she is in my hands now."

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the line. After a few seconds, Ji Wan's voice rang out again, with a barely perceptible tremor: "What did you say?"

"I found Su Jiujiu," Zhao Xiyue repeated, her voice rising with excitement. "We can use her bone marrow to save Nian Nian. This is the only way. Chi Wenyan won't agree. He just warned me not to touch Su Jiujiu. He doesn't care whether Nian Nian lives or dies."

Ji Wan was silent, and the only sound on the phone was the rapid breathing of both of them. Zhao Xiyue could imagine Ji Wan's shock and struggle at the moment.

"Wanwan, I know you hate me and you blame me," Zhao Xiyue's voice softened and pleaded.

"You can hit me or scold me, but Nian Nian is innocent. She's almost dying, and we have to get the bone marrow as soon as possible. Chi Wenyan is watching her so closely, I can't get Nian Nian out of the hospital by myself. Only you, only you can help me, you are Nian Nian's mother."

"Bring her out..." Ji Wan's voice was hoarse. "Zhao Xiyue, do you want me to cooperate with you and steal my own daughter?"

"It's not stealing." Zhao Xiyue defended anxiously, "It's to save her, Wanwan. This is our last chance. I don't know what Chi Wenyan is thinking, but I don't think he will care about Nian Nian. Are you going to watch Nian Nian..."

"Stop talking." Ji Wan interrupted her abruptly, his voice filled with suppressed pain.

Her chest heaved violently, her mind torn between her conscience and her own. Chi Wenyan's betrayal, Zhao Xiyue's schemes, Su Jiujiu's lingering ghost, and Nian Nian, dying on the hospital bed.

One thing after another almost tore her apart.

She hated everything and everyone who hurt her and Nian Nian.
