Chapter 257 When will he wake up?

"The patient is out of immediate danger, but has three broken ribs and a broken left leg, and needs to be hospitalized for observation," the doctor said. "Fortunately, he was brought in in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"When will you wake up?" Ling Ye asked.

"It should be soon; he'll wake up once the anesthesia wears off."

Fang Lanxin was wheeled into the ward, and several people surrounded her.

She was pale, her eyes were closed, and she looked incredibly fragile.

Lu Chen stood by the bed, tears falling again. Ling Ye's eyes also reddened, but he didn't cry; he just stared intently at Fang Lanxin.

Huo Qibang sat on the edge of the bed, holding Fang Lanxin's hand: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well..."

About half an hour later, Fang Lanxin's fingers twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Mother!"

"lady!"

"Sister Fang!"

Several people shouted at the same time.

Fang Lanxin looked at the faces gathered around the bed and forced a smile: "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"

“Mom, don’t say anything!” Fok Kai-pong quickly said, “The doctor said you are badly injured and need to rest.”

“I know,” Fang Lanxin’s voice was weak, “that truck…”

“We will find out the truth,” Fok Kai-pong said. “Mom, don’t think about anything right now, just focus on recovering.”

Fang Lanxin nodded, then turned to look at Ling Ye and Lu Chen: "What are you two doing there?"

“We were worried about you, so we followed you,” Ling Ye said. “Luckily we did, otherwise…”

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fang Lanxin looked at their red eyes and felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "Thank you."

"Madam, what are you saying!" Ling Ye exclaimed anxiously. "It's what we should do!"

Lu Chen nodded, and tears fell again.

"Alright, stop crying," Fang Lanxin said. "I'm fine, aren't I?"

"Sister Fang, you broke three ribs and your leg, and you call this nothing?" Lu Chen said, choking back tears.

Fang Lanxin smiled: "At least I'm still alive."

Seeing Fang Lanxin like this, Huo Qibang felt both heartache and anger. He turned to Huo Wen and said, "Send more people to guard this place 24 hours a day, and don't allow any strangers to approach."

"yes."

Fang Lanxin closed her eyes. Her whole body ached, but her mind was very clear.

The warehouse fire and the car accident were definitely not coincidences.

Someone is targeting her.

Moreover, this person knew her schedule very well, knew that she would go to the warehouse today, and knew which route she would take home.

This person was right beside her.

Thinking of this, Fang Lanxin opened her eyes and looked at Huo Qibang: "Qibang, go and check who knows my schedule today."

Huo Qibang was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Mom, you mean..."

"Yes." Fang Lanxin nodded. "A mole."

Huo Qibang's expression grew even more unpleasant.

If there really is a mole, then that person must be someone close to them, someone they trust.

"I'll check right away," Huo Qibang said, turning and leaving the ward.

Only Ling Ye, Lu Chen, and Fang Lanxin remained in the ward.

"Madam, you should rest well. I'll go buy you something to eat," Ling Ye said.

“I’ll go too.” Lu Chen stood up as well.

"You guys go together," Fang Lanxin said. "Remember to buy something light."

The two walked out of the ward and ran into Huo Meiling in the corridor.

Huo Meiling, heavily pregnant, asked with a worried expression, "How is Mom?"

"We're out of danger now, and we're resting," Lu Chen said.

Huo Meiling breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good..."

"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" Ling Ye frowned. "You shouldn't be running around in your current condition."

“I heard that my mother had an accident, how could I not come?” Huo Meiling said. “I’m going to see my mother.”

After saying that, she was about to walk into the ward, but Ling Ye stopped her.

“Madam needs to rest now, so you shouldn’t go in,” Ling Ye said.

Huo Meiling was stunned for a moment: "But..."

“Sister-in-law, A-Ye is right,” Lu Chen said. “Sister Fang is very weak right now and it’s not suitable for her to see too many people.”

Huo Meiling glanced at the two of them and nodded: "Alright then, when Mother wakes up, tell her that I came to see her."

Yes, it will.

Huo Meiling turned and left. Ling Ye and Lu Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing wariness in each other's eyes.

"You said..." Lu Chen hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Don't talk nonsense." Ling Ye interrupted him. "Nothing is certain right now. Don't wrong innocent people."

The two went to the hospital convenience store and bought some light food. When they returned to the ward, Fang Lanxin was already asleep.

Ling Ye placed the things on the bedside table and sat down on the chair beside the bed. Lu Chen also moved a chair over, and the two of them stayed by Fang Lanxin's side.

"Hey," Ling Ye suddenly said.

"What are you doing?" Lu Chen looked at him.

"Thank you for today..." Ling Ye said somewhat awkwardly.

Lu Chen paused for a moment, then smiled: "You too, thank you."

Although the two still disliked each other, they were on the same side when it came to Fang Lanxin's matter.

That night, the two took turns watching over Fang Lanxin, and neither of them left.

The next morning, when Fang Lanxin woke up, she saw Ling Ye and Lu Chen both asleep by the bedside.

Both of them looked exhausted, but even in their sleep, they still had furrowed brows.

Fang Lanxin looked at them, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

These two kids, although they don't get along with each other usually, are quite reliable when it matters.

"woke up?"

Fang Lanxin turned her head and saw Huo Qibang standing at the door.

"Hmm." Fang Lanxin nodded. "Did you find anything?"

Huo Qibang walked in and said in a low voice, "I found out. There were five people who knew your itinerary yesterday: besides me and Huo Wen, there was your secretary Xiao Liu, your driver Lao Zhang, and... Mei Ling."

Fang Lanxin frowned: "Meiling?"

“Yes,” Huo Qibang said. “Yesterday afternoon, Meiling called you to ask when you were coming home.”

Fang Lan thought about it and realized that it was true. She was dealing with warehouse matters at the time and casually mentioned that it was around ten o'clock at night.

"You suspect Meiling?" Fang Lanxin asked.

“I don’t want to doubt her,” Fok Kai-pong said, “but…”

“But she is indeed a suspect,” Fang Lanxin continued, “However, it would be too hasty to conclude that it is her based solely on this.”

“I know,” Fok Kai-pong said. “That’s why I asked Fok Man to continue the investigation and see if there are any other clues.”

"Hmm." Fang Lanxin nodded. "By the way, where's the driver of that truck?"

“He’s escaped,” Fok Kai-pong said. “The police are pursuing him.”

Fang Lanxin closed her eyes. She was in great pain all over, but her mind was racing.

The warehouse fire and the car accident were both aimed at her.
