Chapter 563: The Rabbit Dies and the Dog Is Cooked

The people in the corridor gradually dispersed, leaving only Han Xi, Fang Li and two bodyguards.

Chen Ruyan was pulled back by Han Chunxi to rest, but she refused to leave and insisted that Fang Li go back, saying that there were two of them now and she couldn't get tired.

Fang Li saw that she was very scared and her legs were unsteady when she walked, so she kept saying that she was fine and that Han Xi would take good care of her. She would also take care of herself, and if she was tired, she could go home and rest, and she would not force herself.

Fang Li asked her to go back and rest first, and then come back to take their place after she had rested.

After much persuasion, Shen Ruyan reluctantly agreed to leave first. Before leaving, she kept reminding Han Xi to take good care of herself and Fang Li.

Everyone left and the surroundings returned to silence.

"Are you tired?"

Han Xi helped Fang Li sit down on the bench and tidied her hair that was messed up by the wind.

Fang Li shook her head and leaned on his shoulder: "Not tired."

She was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Do you think Fourth Uncle really did what happened to Grandpa?"

Han Xi stared at the closed glass door of the ICU, his eyes gleaming with coldness, "Except for him, no one would attack Grandpa at this time."

The tie vote on the board of directors and my grandfather's sudden fainting were so precisely timed that it was obvious that someone had carefully planned it.

The biggest beneficiaries were Han Shuo, who had temporarily escaped the disaster, and Han Yi who was hiding behind him.

"What should we do now?" Fang Li asked.

"wait."

Han Xi's voice was deep, "Wait for Grandpa to wake up, and also wait for the results of Jiangbei's investigation."

He gently stroked Fang Li's hair, his gesture so gentle it was unlike him: "I'm sorry for putting you through this. You should have been happily preparing for the wedding, but these things have disturbed your peace."

"We are husband and wife, aren't we?"

Fang Li looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, "Your business is my business. No matter what happens, I will be with you."

Han Xi's heart felt like it was burned by something and felt warm.

He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her forehead. It smelled like hospital disinfectant, but it made her feel particularly at ease.

The light from the ICU shone through the glass, casting a pale halo on the ground.

The sound of a nurse pushing a cart came from the distance, and the place was empty and lonely.

Han Xi held Fang Li's hand tightly, as if he could draw strength from it.

He knew that the war was far from over.

Since Han Yi and Han Shuo dared to attack Grandpa, they will never give up easily, but he will not back down. For Grandpa, for Fang Li, and for the Han family, he must win!

As the night deepened, the hospital corridor became so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Fang Li fell asleep leaning on Han Xi's shoulder, breathing evenly.

Han Xi looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart sank, and he raised his dark eyes to look towards the end of the long corridor.

Then he took out the phone from his pocket and sent a message.

"Keep an eye on him, and tell me if anything unusual happens!"

Soon the reply came: "Yes."

It was a little after three in the morning.

The smell of disinfectant mixed with coldness in the corridor penetrated my nostrils.

Han Xi leaned against the wall, playing with an unlit cigarette between his fingertips, his eyes fixed on the monitor inside the glass door.

The green wavy curve danced regularly, reflected in his eyes, but it could not dispel the melancholy between his brows.

"Xiu Jin."

Chen Yingsheng walked out quietly, his white coat stained with water. "The old man is awake, but he's not quite conscious yet. I spoke to him, but he just blinked and didn't recognize me."

Han Xi put on a cigarette and paused, "Can he breathe on his own? How are the various indicators?"

"The ventilator has been removed and the vital signs are temporarily stable."

Chen Yingsheng pushed up his glasses and said, "But the lack of oxygen to the brain lasted for quite a while. We need to observe whether there will be any sequelae later."

Han Xi nodded and walked to the glass door.

Han Guodong was lying on the hospital bed, his face still as pale as paper, his lips chapped and cracked, his gray hair stuck to his forehead, no longer as majestic as before.

The monitor made a regular "beeping" sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Thanks a lot."

Chen Yingsheng was speechless and patted his shoulder: "Why are you saying these things?"

Han Xi turned to Fang Li and said, his voice hoarse from a sleepless night, "I'll take you back to the villa to rest."

Fang Li shook her head, with bloodshot eyes: "I want to wait a little longer."

"obedient."

Han Xi held her cold hand, stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips. "You're pregnant, you can't stay like this. I'll be watching here. If anything happens, I'll call you immediately."

Chen Yingsheng also advised, "Don't worry, Miss Xu. I will keep an eye on the old man's condition. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health."

Fang Li looked at the red bloodshot in Han Xi's eyes and finally nodded: "Then don't be too tired, remember to take some time to rest."

"good."

Han Xi straightened her coat and personally helped her to the car.

After watching the black Bentley merge into the early morning traffic, he turned back to the ICU door, and the tenderness in his eyes was instantly replaced by hardness.

In the bedroom of the villa halfway up the mountain, Fang Li was lying on the bed but had no desire to sleep.

The moonlight shines through the gauze curtains, casting mottled shadows on the carpet.

This went on and on until dawn was about to dawn and the sound of a car engine came from downstairs.

Fang Li put on her coat and walked to the window, and saw Han Xi's car slowly driving into the garage.

She thought he would come up to rest, but she saw him get off the car and go straight to the study.

The light in the study window stayed on for a full hour and then went out.

Not long after, the sound of a car engine was heard again, and Han Xi's car disappeared into the night.

Fang Li's heart sank slightly.

She knew the storm was not over yet.

At the same time, Han Yi's Rose Manor was brightly lit.

Under the retro crystal chandelier, Han Yi placed the wine glass heavily on the mahogany table, and scarlet wine splashed out of the glass.

"We should have taken advantage of his return and completely suppressed him! Look at him now, we've raised a tiger to cause trouble!"

Han Shuo sat on the sofa opposite, the cigar between his fingers flickering, and he was completely unaware that the ash fell on his expensive trousers.

"Who would have thought he could beat my second brother? We all thought they would both be defeated, but I never thought my second brother would be so useless for half his life and lose so quickly!"

Thinking of the scene when Han Xi just returned to China three years ago, Han Shuo felt so angry that his teeth itched.

At that time, Han Xi was just a young man who had just graduated, while Han Ming had been running the group for many years and had a solid foundation.

The two brothers originally wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers, and then come out to clean up the mess after both sides were defeated. However, they did not expect that Han Xi would be so ruthless that he sidelined Han Ming in just half a year and firmly sat in the position of helmsman.

"He's an ungrateful person!"

Han Yi was shaking with anger. "I've worked so hard to build this market in Singapore over the years, and he took it over with just one word! And your mining area in Mamba, that's the territory you've secured with blood and sweat, and he just investigated it without mercy!"

Han Shuo took a deep drag on his cigar. Amidst the smoke, his eyes were filled with a sinister look. "When the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked; when the bird is dead, the bow is put away. He's grown strong now, so naturally he won't tolerate us elders."

"What's the point of saying this now?"
