Chapter 274 Dead
Xu Qiaomu suddenly remembered what he had told her in the early hours of the morning: "Don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen it with your own eyes."
Why did he say that?
Su Ting is clearly the prime suspect!
Many people know about the relationship between Su Ting and Luo Shu, and Ling Chen should know it too. In this situation, wouldn't it be better to make it clear?
What is he covering up?
Does he know Su Ting?
And their relationship is quite special, otherwise...
He said he had someone he liked in the early morning, could it be Su Ting?
Xu Qiaomu had found the answer in his heart.
“I had a fight with her in the car just now, and I left her here halfway through the journey. That’s when I saw what just happened,” Ling Chen said.
The police officer glanced at their clasped hands and the men's clothes Xu Qiaomu was wearing, but didn't ask any further questions. After all, they already knew the license plate number, and scanning it in the city would allow them to catch him quickly.
Xu Qiaomu was quite frightened. After the police officers finished asking the necessary questions, they let them go.
Driving in the early hours of the morning, I looked in the mirror and saw Xu Qiaomu sitting blankly in the back seat, not saying a word.
He took her back to his home in the early hours of the morning.
He lives alone in an apartment, not with his parents.
Xu Qiaomu felt a little awkward when she got out of the car with him.
"I'll go upstairs to take a shower and change my clothes first, then I'll leave later," Ling Chen said.
If Xu Qiaomu were to return home like this at this time and be seen by her father, the two of them would probably be able to hold their wedding tomorrow.
“Okay, thank you,” Xu Qiaomu replied.
Clean clothes were delivered in the early morning, and Xu Qiaomu was already taking a shower in the bathroom.
He knocked on the door, turned his head away without looking at her, and said, "Clothes."
Xu Qiaomu slightly opened the door a crack, peeking out with half her face still damp from her hair. She took the bag from his hand and immediately closed the door.
When she came out of the shower, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Her stomach was growling loudly with hunger.
When they found her in the early morning, she was already dressed and her hair was half-dry. She was walking over awkwardly.
"Drink that powder on the table, and the food will be fine." (Early morning)
"Oh." Xu Qiaomu didn't stand on ceremony.
She sat on the sofa, finished the cup of powder on the table in one gulp, then hugged a cushion and leaned back on the sofa, looking at him.
Only then did her mind slowly recover from the car accident.
This didn't happen to her, but it was enough to terrify her.
She could even imagine what kind of person Su Ting was.
Ling Chen probably likes Su Ting, so if she marries Ling Chen, wouldn't she become a sitting duck?
She couldn't win against Su Ting. What should she do if Ling Chen continued to like Su Ting like this?
"You know Su Ting?" Xu Qiaomu asked directly.
"Mmm," Ling Chen replied.
"The person you like is her."
"right."
"Oh." Xu Qiaomu replied expressionlessly.
She wasn't too surprised by the answer.
"But it's impossible for me and her. It's just liking, and there probably won't be any deeper development in the future," Ling Chen said frankly.
Even if he doesn't marry Xu Qiaomu, his family won't let him marry Su Ting. He may like her, but Su Ting can't enter the Ling family.
Mayor Ling only learned about Su Ting's situation later, so how could he possibly let Su Ting in?
Xu Qiaomu ignored him.
This has nothing to do with her.
But that car accident just now...
He was clearly helping her in the early hours of the morning.
It was obvious that he liked her in the early hours of the morning.
After dinner, Xu Qiaomu thanked Ling Chen and left without asking him to see her off.
I didn't plan to see her off in the early morning; she closed the door after she left.
Late at night, Xu Qiaomu packed his bags and secretly left home, bought a plane ticket, and went abroad overnight.
Yes, she ran away.
Even if her father lost the project, she wouldn't care.

Luo Shu woke up the next morning.
Yu Zhan is outside the door communicating with the doctor.
"You're awake." Yu Zhan came in carrying breakfast. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No," Luo Shu replied calmly.
She felt fine, but the fear in her heart still lingered.
"Hug." She slowly stood up, her eyes filled with tears, and reached out her hand to Yu Zhan.
Yu Zhan sat on the edge of the bed, feeling heartbroken, and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Luo Shu buried her head, as if only in this way could she feel safe.
Yu Zhan's embrace was warm, gradually warming her icy body.
"You must have been terrified." Yu Zhan hugged her tightly, his large hand stroking her hair, and he lowered his head to kiss the top of her head.
"Is the baby alright?" she asked.
"It's alright." Yu Zhan gently pinched her soft waist.
At this moment, Luo Shu let go of his hand and hurriedly asked, "Where's Chang'an? Is he alright?"
Yu Zhan paused for a moment, then said, "He's still unconscious."
He suffered a mild concussion, nothing serious, and we're waiting for him to wake up.
"I'll go and take a look..."
"Don't bother him. The doctor said he's fine. He'll be fine once he wakes up. You should rest. I'll take you there when he wakes up."
"Okay..." Luo Shu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was alright; she was just afraid that something bad might have happened to him.
She hugged Yu Zhan again and slowly closed her eyes.
At the moment of impact, her mind went blank, and the powerful force made her think she was going to die.
The sound of brakes screeched in her ears. Her gaze fell on the approaching windshield. She closed her eyes, her mind filled with replays of last night.
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the arc of the cell phone flying up from the passenger seat, and her suffocating feeling of being unable to scream.
For the first time, she felt death was so close.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yu Zhan hugged her trembling body tightly.
His grip tightened even more as he felt the pain.
When he received the call in the early hours of the morning, he could barely walk. Even as he sat in the passenger seat on the way to the hospital, he could almost feel the same fear that Luo Shu had felt in the same spot.
His hands were shaking almost uncontrollably.
Fortunately, they are all fine, but they still need to stay in the hospital for observation.
Gan Chang'an's condition is more serious; he hasn't woken up yet and will probably have to stay in the hospital for a while.
After comforting her for a long time, she slowly recovered, and Yu Zhan took out the breakfast that he had prepared in advance.
"You eat first, I'll go check on Chang'an," Yu Zhan said.
"Okay." Luo Shu nodded.
Yu Zhan went outside and answered a phone call.
[Is he completely dead?] Yu Zhan.
They're dead, but it wasn't one of our people who did it.
Who did it?
【have no idea. 】
He hung up the phone, put his hands in his pockets, fell into deep thought, and then walked towards Gan Chang'an's ward.
Gan Chang'an had already woken up, and Butler Li was standing beside him, watching over him as he ate breakfast.
He had bandages wrapped around his head, but he seemed to be in pretty good spirits.
"Does it hurt?" Yu Zhan asked.
"It hurts," he said with a smile, "but a higher salary will make it stop hurting."
Yu Zhan smiled, and just as he was about to ask something else, the doctor called him out.
"Are you a relative of Gan Chang'an?"
"yes."
The doctor nodded and led the person to his office.
Gan Chang'an's family had been taken away during that war, and it was Yu Zhan who brought him back.
The doctor opened the computer and looked up Gan Chang'an's previous medical records.
"He used to have something in his head, you know that?"
"Know."
Gan Chang'an had previously suffered a brain injury with blood clots, but they could not be removed from his brain due to the high risk involved. As a result, he was more immature than his peers, a fact that everyone knew.
"That thing is dissipating rapidly now, which is a good sign, but we can't rule out the possibility that it's malignant. I suggest you stay in the hospital for a while to observe it. If it's benign, you can be discharged."
In other words, the impact shattered the blood clot in Gan Chang'an's brain. If it wasn't malignant, he would probably be almost like a normal person.
This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Yu Zhan nodded, chatted with the doctor for a while, and then left the doctor's office.
