Bai Xiuye ​​frowned, and none of those present could read his mind. In his view, Xiao Liu was an elder of the Bai family and wouldn't possibly follow Bai Qin in such reckless behavior. But Deng Wei also didn't seem like the type to do such a thing. At this moment, he chose to remain silent.

"I didn't, you're all framing me, you're all framing me. I know Qin doesn't like me, but there's no need to frame me with something like this. I can't accept being falsely accused."

Deng Wei was so frightened that she kept backing away. Her apparent fear made unsuspecting people think that she had suffered a great injustice in this family.

"Since you say you've been wronged, then let's look at the facts."

Bai Qin seemed to see through everything, and sneered coldly. Anyway, the witnesses are already there, and the physical evidence will appear soon. Once all the evidence is laid out before her, let's see how she tries to deny it.

"If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have come back in the first place, and I wouldn't be being wronged by you now. If you really have doubts, then I'll eat this cake to prove my innocence."

Deng Wei picked up the cake on the table and was about to put it in her mouth. She thought Bai Xiuye ​​would stop her, but to her surprise, he didn't succeed this time.

She collapsed to the ground, looking at Yin Yali who had completely absolved herself of any responsibility, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.

"Why are you afraid to eat it? You know you're scared, right?"

As Bai Qin pressed closer, Deng Wei's pleading gaze swept over everyone present. Receiving no response, she slumped to the ground, speechless.

Bai Qin, too lazy to waste words with her, took out a silver needle from the box and stuck it into the cake. After a short while, the silver needle turned black, and Bai Xiuye's eyes widened in surprise.

He stared in disbelief at the daughter he had personally brought back, his head spinning. Suddenly, everything went black, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his throat, landing on the ground.

"Dad~"

"Sir~"

Bai Qin and Yin Yali shouted the words almost in unison, and then Bai Xiuye ​​fainted.

The ambulance practically ran red lights all the way to the hospital. Bai Qin didn't have time to confront Deng Wei; he simply ordered the housekeeper to detain her. He would decide what to do upon his return, and then quickly followed her into the ambulance.

In the operating room, the doctors needed to operate on him as soon as possible. Only then did Bai Qin learn that Bai Xiuye ​​had a serious heart condition. Sometimes it would relapse, requiring him to be hospitalized several times a year.

On the way, he murmured with his remaining consciousness:

"Jiang Yu... Jiang Yu..."

Bai Qin didn't hear what he said at first, but after learning that his father was calling Jiang Yu's name, he repeatedly assured him:

"As long as you come out of the operating room safely, I will definitely bring Jiang Yu back."

Perhaps it was only after being hurt by the fake heiress that Bai Qin realized how precious family ties are. She didn't blame her father; instead, she made a phone call when the red light in the operating room came on.

Jiang Yu answered the phone on the last night she spent with Shen An'an in the hospital. She was feeding Shen An'an porridge when the call came in.

The child's complexion was much rosier than usual, and he no longer looked sickly. He was full of energy and talking to Jiang Yu and Shen Ying.

The call was from Chief Zhang. At first, Shen Ying thought it was for him and, without thinking, wanted to go to the doctor's office. But he was told:

"Battalion Commander Shen, Commander Zhang specifically requested that Comrade Jiang Yu answer the phone."

While the man was still wondering when the relationship between the leader and Jiang Yu had become so good, the woman had already left.

After hearing the news over the phone, I felt very conflicted.

Commander Zhang just clearly stated that Commander Bai suffered a heart attack and is currently in the operating room in very serious condition. He may not survive the night, and his only wish is to see me one last time.

Thinking back to how fiercely he looked at me and how arrogantly he shut down my clothing store for no reason, I felt a bit resistant.

Since things were handled so decisively back then, why bother acknowledging blood ties?

But despite her thoughts, it was, after all, the wish of a dying person on their deathbed, and even if she wanted to refuse, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Comrade Jiang Yu, I'll have Bai Chen pick you up right away. Don't worry about taking care of An An; I've already contacted Xian Xue, and he'll bring Comrade Shen Wan over later tonight."

Seeing that Jiang Yu remained silent, Chief Zhang grew anxious. Some situations were urgent, so he took it upon himself to make arrangements for the woman.

Moreover, ever since they learned that his brother-in-law was dating Shen Wan, he and Li Xue have been wholeheartedly supportive, eagerly awaiting their marriage.

Therefore, he was particularly proactive when dealing with matters concerning the Shen Ying family.

Jiang Yu gave a light reply and returned to the ward to explain the situation to Shen Ying. The man also advised her that no matter how disgusted she felt, she should still go and see him.

In no time, Bai Chen arrived at the ward, looking travel-worn. He took Liu Cui and asked her to stay with Shen An'an for a while before leading the two of them downstairs.

Inside the car, Bai Ling, the uninvited guest, sat in the passenger seat, looking exhausted. She hadn't left the city since she accompanied the Shen family to bring Shen An'an to the hospital last time.

At this moment, the group disregarded their past grievances and had Bai Chen drive them to the provincial hospital. The atmosphere was exceptionally heavy throughout the journey.

Upon arriving at the provincial hospital, the group got out of the car and rushed towards the operating room. Bai Qin, preoccupied, stood guard at the entrance, filled with remorse.

If he hadn't exposed Deng Wei in that situation, would Bai Xiuye ​​be in a better position? But if he had, Bai Xiuye ​​would probably still be lying here, and most likely wouldn't even have survived to the hospital.

In any case, coming to the hospital was unavoidable. Even though I knew everything, as the son, I was still very upset.

Compared to him, Yin Yali appeared much calmer. She was praying, praying that Bai Xiuye ​​would die on the operating room bed. That way, the fabricated will could come in handy.

By kicking Bai Qin out, they can also get rid of Deng Wei at the same time—it's killing two birds with one stone.

"How is Uncle?"

Bai Ling rushed in, and upon seeing Bai Qin, she anxiously inquired. Although she didn't quite like Bai Xiuye's way of handling things in some matters...

But he is still his own uncle, and Bai Xiuye's contributions were indispensable in helping him reach this level.

Upon seeing his cousin, Bai Qin's taut nerves snapped. He choked back sobs, unable to form a complete sentence, and stammered:

"Sister, the doctor said Dad might not make it through tonight. They're doing everything they can to save him, hoping he can say what he needs to say before he dies."

"How could this happen? How could this be?"

Bai Ling couldn't believe it. After hearing Bai Qin recount Deng Wei's actions in detail, her fists clenched visibly. She said angrily:

"I never expected her to be this kind of person."
