Chapter 183 Strange Things

Gu Nan watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a strange glint flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and took charge of cleaning up the mess.

Just as I stepped out of the alley, a luxury car sped towards me.

Si Jiliang got out of the driver's seat and hurried over.

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao frowned deeply, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

Si Jiliang's eyes flashed, and he looked down at Jiang Ran, his face full of worry.

He was attending an auction when Jiang Ran called him, and his phone was on silent so he didn't answer immediately. He called back as soon as possible afterward, but all he heard was a busy signal.

A bad feeling rose in his heart. He consulted a fortune teller and found that she would encounter misfortune and bloodshed.

He hurriedly used a compass to find her location, but he never expected to arrive in such a state.

Si Jiliang's worried expression seemed particularly ironic to Si Yanxiao.

He scoffed coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Si Jiliang frowned and replied in a deep voice, "I was worried that something might happen to her, but I didn't expect to arrive too late..."

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery flashing across his face: "Your information network is quite impressive."

Si Jiliang sensed the sarcasm in his words, his expression changed slightly, and he replied coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

"Can't you even understand the literal meaning?" Si Yanxiao suddenly sneered, "Do you think I really can't see through your thoughts?"

"You've been eyeing another man's wife all along, huh? Now it's all out in the open?"

Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang's expression changed abruptly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. However, he did not refute it, but instead asked, "Wife?"

"When you have complicated relationships with other people, have you ever thought about the fact that you come from a good family?"

Si Yanxiao's eyes turned cold, and he asked in a chilling voice, "You investigated me?"

Si Jiliang raised an eyebrow slightly, tacitly agreeing, then spoke again, his voice cold and sarcastic: "So what?"

Both men had unfriendly expressions, and there was a tense atmosphere between them.

Amidst the ongoing argument, Si Yanxiao's eyes sharpened. Suppressing his displeasure, he suddenly let out a cold laugh and said sharply, "That's my private matter. Jiang Ran hasn't said anything yet. Who do you think you are to spout nonsense in front of me?"

Then, after a slight pause, he said, enunciating each word clearly, "You think you're worthy?"

The disdain in his words was obvious and showed no mercy whatsoever.

Si Jiliang's face turned cold, and before he could refute, Si Yanxiao continued to speak.

"I'm warning you, stay away from her. For both moral and ethical reasons, you shouldn't have anything to do with her!"

"Even if you're resentful, so what? No matter how bad our relationship is, we're still a legally recognized married couple. And what about you? What are you anyway?"

Si Yanxiao coldly asserted his sovereignty. Although he usually didn't want to get involved with Jiang Ran, he wouldn't allow anyone else to have designs on him at this time.

He's not even divorced yet, and he's already verbally provoking me to my face. Does he think I'm dead?

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Si Jiliang's expression changed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.

In the past, he would never have given Si Yanxiao the opportunity to mock him like that. But now that he knows Jiang Ran's "true identity," he can't control himself even though he knows Jiang Ran is not a good person to get close to.

As a result, he now controls everything around him.

Thinking of this, his expression immediately became even more unpleasant.

Si Yanxiao took in his expression and looked at him with disdain.

He then walked away without looking at her, passing by her without glancing at her.

Si Jiliang watched his back as he carried Jiang Ran, and instinctively reached out to stop him, but only for a moment. His hand paused slightly, and then he let it fall limply.

Even though he was unwilling, he had to admit one thing: he was not qualified to have anything to do with Jiang Ran at this moment. Thinking of this, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Si Yanxiao carried Jiang Ran into the car and drove directly to the nearest hospital for treatment.

I had contacted the hospital director beforehand. When I arrived at the hospital entrance, there was a group of doctors in white coats standing outside, led by the director. They looked like department heads.

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly and parked the car in front of everyone. The dean quickly stepped forward to help lift Jiang Ran onto the stretcher.

Then he said, "Quickly take this young lady to the emergency room."

"Okay." Someone responded from behind, and then they accompanied the stretcher into the hospital.

The dean looked at Si Yanxiao and asked softly, "Mr. Si, who is that?"

Si Yanxiao's eyes turned cold, and he replied in a low voice, "My wife."

Upon hearing this, the hospital director looked surprised and quickly said, "Don't worry, the head of the emergency department has already gone with them."

"Hmm," Si Yanxiao replied in a deep voice, but did not say anything more.

The dean didn't care about his indifference at all and kindly invited him to wait in the office.

Si Yanxiao disliked this kind of pointless socializing, and given Jiang Ran's current uncertain situation, he had no interest in playing along with these people. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard him continue speaking.

"After Mrs. Si's treatment, she will be placed in a VIP ward. I will accompany you there."

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao didn't say anything more. Considering that inhaling the thick smoke would likely require stomach pumping and take a considerable amount of time, he slowly nodded and replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, the dean's face lit up with joy, and he quickly led the way.

Upon entering the office, he was very attentive and offered Si Yanxiao the seat of honor, then began to flatter him.

"The hospital's current development is all thanks to your previous investment; otherwise, it would probably have gone bankrupt long ago."

Listening to his words, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly, vaguely recalling the financial crisis when many companies went bankrupt, but he managed to survive thanks to his unique insights.

By investing directly in real estate and medical equipment, the Si family rose rapidly to become a leading enterprise.

"It's nothing," Si Yanxiao replied in a deep voice, his face still cold. "It's all for the people."

Upon hearing this, the dean responded repeatedly, a subtle awkwardness permeating the atmosphere.

Just as the two were chatting idly, a sudden knocking sound came from outside the door.

Si Yanxiao's eyes flashed, and he turned around to look. The dean quickly said, "Come in!"

A nurse walked towards him, glanced at Si Yanxiao, and a blush instantly appeared on her face.

Then he looked at the hospital director and said, "Director Chen said the patient is acting strangely and asked you to go to the emergency room to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the dean's expression suddenly changed to one of shock. The Director Chen mentioned by the nurse was none other than the head of the emergency department, the one who had just taken Jiang Ran away.

Could it be that something has happened to Jiang Ran?

Seeing his displeasure, Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, turned to the nurse, and asked, "What is the patient's name?"

"Jiang Ran," the nurse said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression changed drastically. Ignoring the dean, he strode out and, as he passed the nurse, said in a deep voice, "Lead the way."

Upon hearing this, the nurse responded repeatedly and walked ahead.

Upon seeing this, the dean lowered his brow slightly and quickly got up to follow behind.

As the group entered the emergency room, they saw Director Chen standing beside the bed with his hands raised to his chest to maintain sterility, but he looked somewhat uneasy.

Seeing that the dean and Si Yanxiao had arrived, his eyes flashed, and he quickly began to explain the situation.

"When I first saw the patient, I knew there had been a fire. But after a careful examination, apart from the thick smoke in his nasal cavity and several burn marks on his clothes, there were no marks on his skin."

As she spoke, she paused slightly, her face full of doubt, and slowly revealed her guess: "So I'm not sure what her situation is, please come and take a look."

The dean was taken aback upon hearing this and hurriedly put on medical plastic gloves to examine the patient.

Although he was extremely attentive, his professional skills were also exceptional.

Si Yanxiao listened to his guess while standing still, his head slightly lowered. His clothes were still stained with blood, which was clearly seeping from Jiang Ran's wound.

Suddenly, he recalled everything she had said to him before. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, pushed the dean away, and lifted her sleeve. He saw that her skin was completely white, with no trace of burns.

Si Yanxiao found it hard to believe. He looked at it over and over again, but it was still the same.

The dean, looking puzzled, quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Si Yanxiao snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and still looked extremely surprised.

The doctors had never seen anything like it before, and were extremely surprised, but could not find the cause.

Only Si Yanxiao witnessed the whole thing and was unable to calm his emotions for a long time.
