soon;
The boy's voice, feigning intimacy, rang out from across the room: "Uncle Yu, when are you coming back?"
"I brought you a gift from abroad, and I wanted to give it to you in person."
The person opposite him was his own son, but he could only call him uncle.
Yu Anping felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by a hand, and that if he made the slightest mistake, that hand would crush his heart.
He knew that the owner of that hand was his adopted daughter.
Back then, it was he who willingly placed that hand on his heart; he knew she had ulterior motives, yet he still had relations with her.
All of this is his own doing.
Yu Anping swallowed hard before finding his voice: "Things have encountered a slight mishap and haven't been resolved yet. I may have to stay for a few more days."
"Young Master Su Jian, I am very happy to see you back."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of things here as soon as possible. I'm waiting... waiting for you to give me the gift in person."
The next second, the phone screen shook.
Su Jian's face disappeared from the other side of the screen, and only his adopted daughter's voice could be heard.
"Alright, we won't bother your Uncle Yu any longer."
"Make sure your Uncle Yu finishes his business as soon as possible so he can come back early. Otherwise, if he comes back late, he might not be able to see you again."
Yu Anping's pupils flickered suddenly.
Before he could say anything, the other end of the video call ended.
Yu Anping stared at his phone screen with a sense of loss, and finally let out a heavy sigh.
He knew it was his adopted daughter urging him to finish his business quickly.
But the people in Lucheng are all useless; they can't even handle the smallest things, and they can't even properly deal with an accident like a car crash!
Yu An's expression changed, and he turned to face his subordinates in Lucheng. The more gentle he was when answering the phone, the colder he became when facing his subordinates.
The subordinate stood there, barely daring to breathe, only looking down at the hotel carpet as he explained, "I really didn't expect him to be so lucky."
"The tanker truck driver was killed in the explosion, but he escaped."
The tanker truck driver was already in poor health, and after receiving the money they offered to save his life, he agreed to drive the truck and run over Zhou Yi that day.
That money was enough for his wife to raise their son and buy him a house and a car, so the tanker truck driver, with a death wish, stepped on the gas and crashed into them.
With such a powerful impact, the Bentley's trunk would definitely be totaled, and Zhou Yi, sitting in the back seat, would most likely be crushed into a pulp.
But the driver never expected this!
Zhou Yi could sense the danger beforehand, and then suddenly changed seats, and was even able to escape from that car accident.
The two consecutive explosions, coupled with Zhou Yi's timely reporting of the incident and leaving his address, prompted police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks to arrive at the scene immediately.
The nurses carried the unconscious Zhou Yi and the driver, who hadn't managed to escape and was disfigured in the second explosion, onto stretchers.
By the time Yu Anping's men learned that Zhou Yi was still alive and tried to finish him off, it was too late; police cars had already cordoned off the area.
Where is he hospitalized now?
"I don't have much patience. I'll give you two more days."
"We have to get rid of him!!"
Yu Anping turned to face the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the bustling city center of Luzhou.
It has been twenty years since my last visit to Luzhou.
Lucheng has changed a lot, but he has no mood to appreciate the city's night view. He only wants to kill Zhou Yi immediately so that he can return to the capital to see his son as soon as possible.
The adopted daughter was a woman of her word. If he didn't return soon, she would really send her son abroad again, so that he would never be able to see him no matter what he tried.
While Yu Anping was trying to get rid of Zhou Yi.
At the hospital, Zhou Yi has already woken up from the car accident.
His body wasn't seriously injured, except for a lot of broken glass inside his body. After the hospital picked them out piece by piece, Zhou Yi slept for a whole day and night.
When he woke up, the caregiver he had hired last time was by his side, never leaving his side.
Upon seeing Zhou Yi wake up, the caregiver immediately called Aunt Zhou to inform her that Zhou Yi had woken up, and then hung up the phone right away.
Seeing Zhou Yi open his eyes and look at her, his lips moved slightly, and his eyes swept towards the table next to him, the caregiver quickly put down her phone and asked:
"Young Master Zhou, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Do you want some water?
Seeing Zhou Yi nod, the caregiver quickly poured Zhou Shao a glass of warm water and adjusted the bed to a suitable height so that Zhou Yi could drink the water while half-lying down.
After drinking some warm water, Zhou Yi felt his strength return. He remembered that when he gritted his teeth and continued walking, the driver had already been knocked unconscious by the airflow.
Then a second explosion occurred.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi asked in a deep voice:
"How is the driver?"
Aunt Zhou was observant and knew that Zhou Yi would definitely ask about this matter after he woke up, so she had already told the caregiver about the driver.
The caregiver answered Zhou Yi's question: "There were two explosions. The driver's face was disfigured by the second explosion, and his body suffered extensive burns."
"But Ms. Zhou, please rest assured, she has already given a large sum of money to the driver's family."
"Then she paid all the driver's medical expenses and skin grafting costs. Once the driver is feeling better, he will undergo skin grafting surgery."
Zhou Yi nodded and looked out the window.
His hospital room was on a high floor with a wide view, and the sunlight slanted in through the window.
Seeing that Zhou Yi was staring at the scenery outside, seemingly lost in thought, the caregiver went to the window and drew the curtains as far as they could.
"Young Master Zhou, would you like to get some fresh air?"
"I ask the caregiver."
After Zhou Yi nodded, the caregiver opened one of the windows above to let in the natural breeze.
After receiving a call from Zhou Yi after he woke up, Aunt Zhou, who worked at the company, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately canceled all her work commitments to visit him.
"Xiao Yi, you're finally awake."
"When I heard about your car accident, I almost didn't know what to do... Luckily, the injuries weren't serious, otherwise I would have no face to face the old lady in the future."
"What's going on lately? Why are there so many accidents?" Aunt Zhou said, her face full of heartache and guilt.
She couldn't help but recall the school explosion. Not long after that accident, another car accident and explosion occurred. When she received the call from the hospital, she was so frightened that her heart stopped.
Fortunately, the doctor said that Zhou Yi had escaped the car accident unharmed, which put her at ease.
Aunt Zhou spoke without thinking, but Zhou Yi's eyes flickered slightly.
No, this was a premeditated murder!
Zhou Yi still remembers the look in the tanker truck driver's eyes; it was a look of someone who wanted to die with someone.
"Auntie, have you looked into the tanker truck driver? What's his background?"
Aunt Zhou moved a stool out from the corner and sat down in front of the hospital bed.
Upon hearing Zhou Yi's question, she immediately became wary: "You mean... do you think the tanker truck driver committed murder?"
