Chapter 228:
Xu Yihuan opened her eyes with a start, and two familiar figures appeared in front of her.
Seeing Pei Yi'an and Xu Rongyu looking anxious, Xu Yihuan's nerves, which had been tense for a day and a night, finally relaxed.
"Dad, Mom."
Xu Yihuan completely forgot about her still swollen cheeks and was now forcing a smile, trying to reassure Pei Yi'an.
Pei Yi'an's eyes reddened instantly.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
"How did you end up with all these injuries?"
Pei Yi'an reached out with trembling hands, wanting to touch Xu Yihuan, but after looking her up and down for a long time, she could only place her hand on Xu Yihuan's seemingly unharmed neck.
"It's okay, Mom. I just tripped and fell."
Xu Rongyu was so angry that she was trembling all over.
If Jiang Jinnan hadn't been hospitalized and Jiang Huaiyuan hadn't asked them to postpone the opening, they might never have discovered Xu Yihuan's disappearance.
After all, it's only a short day.
It doesn't seem like a big deal if an adult goes missing for a day.
"Take Huanhuan to get a proper check-up. I'll look after things here," Xu Rongyu instructed in a deep voice.
Pei Yi'an nodded and hurriedly pulled Xu Yihuan downstairs.
After the mother and daughter left, Xu Rongyu's face turned completely gloomy.
He also took out his phone and made a call.
"Hey, help me find out exactly how Xu Yihuan disappeared yesterday, and what happened in the car accident. I need to know everything, down to the smallest detail!!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Rongyu coughed twice, clearly quite angry.
He wanted to see who was behind this plot against her daughter! He would fight to the death, even if it cost the entire Xu family the chance!
Pei Yi'an dragged Xu Yihuan through all the examinations, and only after confirming that there were no internal injuries did she feel relieved.
However, with sufficient remaining resources, a ward was opened for Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan was so exhausted that she almost fainted the moment she hit the bed.
He slept for three days straight.
Xu Yihuan woke up with a start and opened her eyes abruptly.
If someone sleeps too soundly and can't get a proper night's sleep, it's definitely not a good thing.
As soon as Xu Yihuan opened her eyes, Pei Yi'an, who was accompanying her, noticed and immediately reached out to tuck the blanket around her.
"What's wrong, Huanhuan?"
"Mom, how long have I been asleep?"
"Three days should be enough."
Xu Yihuan's breath hitched, and she immediately reached for her phone, but the screen was black and she couldn't turn it on.
Xu Yihuan hurriedly got out of bed and charged her phone.
After turning on the phone, as expected, many phone calls and text messages popped up. Two of the calls were from private investigators she had contacted.
Xu Yihuan's hand was on the phone number, about to dial, when she heard Pei Yi'an's words.
"It's alright, Huanhuan. Anan has been moved to a regular ward, but he hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that if he continues to recover, he should wake up in about two or three days."
Pei Yi'an thought Xu Yihuan was worried about Jiang Jinnan next door, so she immediately told her.
Xu Yihuan's hand stopped abruptly, trembling slightly.
Xu Yihuan couldn't help but wonder, what if it really was Tan Zhixu?
Jiang Jinnan is completely innocent.
Why did he drag Jiang Jinnan into this?!
And then there's the matter of sincerity...
If Tan Zhixu truly orchestrated this, then what was his purpose?
Or is it that Tan Zhicheng was actually involved in this scheme with him?
Then the purpose... can't be her, right?
It is indeed a well-known fact that it is possible to discuss sincerity and order, but not harmony.
This creates another contradiction.
Don't blame Xu Yihuan for being narcissistic; she had no choice but to consider all the possibilities.
Xu Yihuan frowned, feeling like her cup size was about to burst.
But if the car accident really is related to Tan Zhixu, then there's no need to think too much about the rest; Tan Zhixu must have taken them all into account.
Gritting her teeth, Xu Yihuan prepared to press the call button, but the next second, the phone rang.
Xu Yihuan was startled; the caller was none other than the private investigator.
Xu Yihuan went to the small balcony to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Miss Xu, we've found out that the car accident was caused by someone working for Tan Zhicheng of the Tan family."
"These few people are kept in the shadows by Tan Zhicheng, specifically to handle things that can't be brought to light, but Tan Zhicheng doesn't dare to keep too many, so he only keeps these few."
Xu Yihuan only heard the first half of the sentence: it was done by someone named Tan Zhicheng.
Immediately, Xu Yihuan let out a deep breath, and her lips relaxed considerably.
It seems that the car accident and her kidnapping were indeed unrelated to Tan Zhixu.
As for why Tan Zhixu was able to plant spies around Tan Zhicheng, it may be related to their internal conflicts.
Xu Yihuan finally felt relieved.
Since that's the case, then she can finally face Jiang Jinnan.
"Okay, I will transfer the balance to you within one business day."
After saying that, Xu Yihuan hung up the phone, closed the balcony door, and went back to her ward.
"Mom, I want to go see Jiang Jinnan."
"Okay, Mom will take you."
Jiang Jinnan's ward is right next to Xu Yihuan's; it's just around the corner.
There was no one in the ward except for the caregiver, not even Jiang Huaiyuan, who often came to visit.
Jiang Jinnan was still on a ventilator, and his face, head, and body were wrapped in gauze. Only his eyes were barely visible, but they were closed so that their shape was not clear at all.
Xu Yihuan's breath hitched.
Just yesterday he was laughing and joking around. Today he lies silently in a hospital bed.
Pei Yi'an sighed, "Huanhuan, Anan really went to great lengths this time. I heard he wasn't going to do this, but he changed the direction of the car at the last minute."
"The truck's cab hit him straight in the head, and then it overturned, which is why it was so serious."
Xu Yihuan's eyes suddenly reddened. She tried to remain calm, but her teeth were chattering: "Was I the one who was supposed to crash into you?"
Pei Yi'an felt a pang of pity, but Huanhuan should know these things.
So Pei Yi'an nodded despite the pain, turning her eyes away and not daring to look at Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan couldn't hold back any longer and collapsed onto Jiang Jinnan's hospital bed, sobbing uncontrollably: "I'm sorry, Jiang Jinnan, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!"
It's her fault; she dragged Jiang Jinnan down with her!
Of course, it's also because of their utmost sincerity! If they hadn't been so sincere, none of this would have happened!
Xu Yi gritted her teeth in hatred, and the scene of the ship sailing away in the end came back to her mind.
Xu Yihuan then suddenly remembered Tan Zhixu.
Tan Zhixu was alone on the boat, with only one helper...
Three days have passed, where is he now?!
Why haven't we seen him yet?!
Xu Yihuan raised her head again, her eyes and nose were red.
She grabbed Pei Yi'an's hand in a panic, her voice still trembling with tears: "Mom, where's Tan Zhixu, Mom?!"
If Tan Zhixu gets injured, he will also have to come to this hospital.
Pei Yi'an shook his head upon hearing this.
"I don't know either."
