Chapter 717 A False Alarm
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Lin Bei and Jiang's Special Assistant: "?"
The three of them looked bewildered and puzzled.
Only Mo Mo's face remained unchanged.
"What's going on?" Lin Bei asked blankly.
"This is all an act." Huo Sinian didn't hide it anymore, since he had already gauged Jiang Ruan's attitude. "It's a play within a play that we're keeping from you."
Assistant Jiang frowned slightly.
Huo Sinian: "He's fine."
The private doctor hesitated to speak.
Huo Sinian looked at him: "Aren't you going to talk?"
Private doctor: "This..."
Huo Sinian: "?"
A bad feeling welled up in Huo Sinian's heart.
The private doctor said gravely, "Mr. Huo is still unconscious. The knife in his abdomen pierced his lung, causing massive internal bleeding. He is still in critical condition."
These words were spoken.
Huo Sinian's expression changed slightly.
"If he still can't wake up in another 24 hours, I'm afraid..." The private doctor didn't finish his sentence, but Jiang Ruan and the others, who had experienced this several times, understood.
“Impossible,” Huo Sinian said. “I want to see the medical report.”
He had rigorously screened that person; he was an expert on all parts of the human body, and his background was impeccable.
Such a deviation is impossible.
“I’ll go get it right away,” the private doctor said.
Seeing him like this.
Huo Sinian fell into doubt.
Just as he was about to order the man to be arrested and interrogated, the private doctor, who had taken two steps, suddenly turned back, coughed lightly, and looked at him, saying, "I was just kidding you. The boss is fine now."
Huo Sinian: "?"
Everyone: ?
"I saw how badly Miss Jiang and the others were deceived by you, and I wanted you to experience what it feels like to hear bad news," the private doctor said hurriedly, afraid that he would be retaliated against by Huo Sinian if he spoke too late. "The BOSS will wake up tomorrow morning, and the knife wound in his abdomen is just a superficial injury."
"Really?" Lin Bei asked quickly.
Private doctor: "Really."
Jiang's Special Assistant: "Where's the inspection report?"
Private doctor: "Come with me."
The group followed him, and soon various reports appeared in their hands.
After seeing everything, everyone finally felt relieved.
They knew Huo Zhizhou was truly alright, and they also knew that his continued unconsciousness was due to the sedative he had taken last night.
"Mr. Huo has been moved to a private ward," the doctor said. "You can go and check on him if you're worried."
Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."
He was about to leave after saying that.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly saw Jiang Ruan standing still. He stopped and called out to her, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.
Assistant Jiang asked, "Shall we go together?"
"Let's go." Jiang Ruan followed.
Looking at the person lying there with a calm expression, sleeping soundly, Jiang Ruan felt stupid.
Why would she feel that sleeping peacefully meant she was about to die?
She didn't even notice so many loopholes.
Think about it carefully.
Huo Sinian's motives for taking action are highly improbable.
How could a selfish person like him possibly harm Huo Zhizhou when he wouldn't gain anything from it? Harming Huo Zhizhou would not benefit him; on the contrary, it would hasten the loss of his shares and power.
“Normally you would have noticed that this is fake.” Huo Sinian was standing next to her at some point, the ropes binding him now untied. “But this time you didn’t notice.”
Jiang Ruan remained silent.
But his eyes were fixed on Huo Zhizhou without blinking.
“You care about him, so why not give him a chance?” Huo Sinian asked.
Jiang Ruan spoke, but her gaze didn't move: "You're not the type to meddle in other people's business."
“He is still my brother.” Huo Sinian put one hand in his pocket, his face bearing the slap mark from Jiang Ruan earlier. “I can’t bear to see him living like this, half-dead.”
Jiang Ruan's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
Huo Sinian's gaze fell on her, and he said bluntly, "This was just an act to let you see each other's true feelings, but if your relationship doesn't progress afterward, I will really give him a clean break."
Jiang Ruan looked over with a cold gaze.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m not joking with you,” Huo Sinian said. “He is Huo Zhizhou. Rather than letting him live like a pile of mud, it’s better to let him be free.”
“You have no right to decide his life or death,” Jiang Ruan reminded him.
"You have no right to interfere in our family affairs," Huo Sinian said, stating the harsh truth. "How brothers fight amongst themselves is none of your business as an outsider, and you have no right to interfere."
In short.
This left Jiang Ruan speechless.
"If something really happens to him one day, the ones who can sign the papers to decide whether to continue resuscitation or give up will be his parents, whom he hates, not you," Huo Sinian added.
Jiang Ruan: "You don't need to tell me these things."
Huo Sinian: "I won't tell you what to do if you don't think of it."
Jiang Ruan hadn't thought of that.
After all, Huo Zhizhou's status is what it is; if anything happens, Jiang Yu, as his personal assistant, can act on his behalf. But if an accident occurs and Jiang Yu isn't around, the ordinary hospital will definitely contact his parents…
“Zhi Zhou did do a lot of terrible things in the past, but he has been trying to make amends afterward.” Huo Sinian rarely confided in anyone. “Now he has figured it out and is no longer fixated on Shan Mu’an and the Huo family.”
Huo Zhizhou used to be fickle because of his promises.
But not now.
Jiang Ruan knows all of these.
She was simply traumatized by what had happened before, and this trauma caused her fear.
"You can think about it carefully." Huo Sinian stood at the door looking at his younger brother lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, but he was speaking to Jiang Ruan. "If you still can't accept his feelings, take Sui Sui back to Haicheng now, and I'll handle the rest."
“You must be very busy right now,” Jiang Ruan said.
Huo Sinian: "What?"
Jiang Ruan: "Has the newly opened entertainment company been approved by the shareholders?"
Huo Sinian: "You seem quite interested."
Jiang Ruan: "I just want to see what the Huo Group, the number one in the industry, will become in your hands."
Huo Sinian: "Don't worry, I won't ruin your ex-husband's business."
Jiang Ruan didn't speak.
She knew that Huo Sinian had opened the entertainment company despite the opposition from major shareholders, all for Lin Tan's sake.
But she felt it was too late.
Lin Tan had finally escaped this abyss; how could she possibly step back in?
Although Huo Zhizhou hurt her, he was genuinely good to her.
"I'll handle things here." Jiang Ruan made a decision in her mind. "You can go back now."
Huo Sinian: "Have you figured it out?"
Jiang Ruan looked at Huo Zhizhou, who had fallen into a deep sleep.
There's no question of whether I can figure it out or not.
Life is more than 30,000 days.
It's impossible for everything to go according to your wishes.
There will always be some bumps and thorns in things.
"Tell your bodyguard to go easy on you next time." Huo Sinian rubbed his arm; he was in pain all over from the surprise attack. "Don't be so rough that you cripple someone."
"If you're really crippled, you deserve it," Jiang Ruan said ruthlessly.
"I really don't know what Zhizhou likes about you," Huo Sinian said. "You're not gentle at all, but you have a temper that's off the charts."
Jiang Ruan ignored him completely.
They had a lot of opinions about the play-within-a-play he planned.
