Chapter 145 Adding Fuel to the Fire



The noise continued in the corridor.

Mrs. Dong and Helian Rui in the ward both showed very anxious expressions. What they were worried about was that the reporters and media outside the door might rush in at any time. Mrs. Dong locked the door in panic, and Helian Rui hurriedly dialed the phone of his subordinates. Fortunately, not long after, a group of bodyguards came to the door of the ward and cooperated with the hospital security to quickly drive the reporters away from this floor.

Hearing the noise outside gradually die down, the two of them finally let go of their worries. As the bodyguard knocked respectfully at the door, Mrs. Dong tremblingly opened the door.

Seeing the bodyguard nod, Helian Rui immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

"I'm leaving now. Take good care of them. Don't look for me if you have nothing to do!"

Mrs. Dong opened her mouth to say something, but Helian Rui left in a hurry, leaving her with only a resolute back, without any lingering feelings. It was not until the man completely disappeared from her sight that she finally came to her senses.

But misfortunes never come singly. News came from the Dong Group that, due to the recent frequent news reports, the group's stock price had plummeted. There was no other way; Chen Xu was still unconscious in bed, so she, the chairman, had to intervene personally.

On the way to Dong's house, Mrs. Dong thought about it and decided to call Dong Jiaxue.

At this moment, Dong Jiaxue was staring at the message on her mobile phone in the room of the Dong family's old house; Mrs. Dong's name flashed on the screen, which made the girl feel a little panic, but she still answered the ringing phone.

"Jiaxue! Go wait for me downstairs at the company now. I'll be there in half an hour."

There were no excessive inquiries, not even false greetings, and the tone of command remained the same as always. Dong Jiaxue did not show any displeasure when she heard it. After responding obediently, she heard the sound of "beep, beep" - the call was hung up.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Jiaxue quickly changed her clothes and ran to the place Mrs. Dong had just mentioned.

In the ward.

Shortly after Mrs. Dong left, Jiang Luoning and Axing came to the ward disguised as doctors. They checked Dong Siqing's condition first and then woke up Chen Xu.

The man opened his eyes, his eyes full of questioning.

Seeing this, Jiang Luoning understood that Chen Xu had heard the noise of the reporters outside and the conversation between the two people in the house. He must have understood what had happened, but it really had nothing to do with them. After all, Dong Jiaxue had never appeared in her previous life, and he was also a victim in the whole thing. He was obviously the daughter of the Dong family, but he had to grow up in an orphanage. Even though he was now in the Dong family, everyone treated him as an outsider. Facing Chen Xu's still inquiring eyes, the little girl was helpless and could only explain in a deep voice;

"I didn't do it?"

After getting the answer, Chen Xu seemed to have expected it. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled with a crooked lip, as if saying, "I knew it." He let Ah Xing treat him with acupuncture in silence.

After a long silence, Chen Xu was the first to speak out his thoughts. "Well, Miss Jiang, I think it's time to wake Dong Siqing up."

"Are you trying to add fuel to the fire?" After this incident became a hot topic today, Jiang Luoning had been observing secretly, but she never had any other thoughts. She just felt that it was too strange for the news to be released at this time. However, Chen Xu's idea really surprised her.

In fact, Dong Siqing's body was not in serious condition and she should have woken up after the anesthesia. However, because they had to create other troubles later, Mrs. Dong and Helian Rui had no time to deal with them, so they kept controlling Dong Siqing and made her fall into a coma. Unlike Chen Xu, Dong Siqing could not hear or see anything happening in the outside world and was truly in a coma.

"Well, I think those two daughters, Dong Jiaxue and Dong Siqing, will definitely make Mrs. Dong even more flustered, and I think it was Dong Jiaxue who leaked this news!"

Seeing that Jiang Luoning had understood his thoughts, Chen Xu did not hide it and spoke out his guess without hesitation.

Although Dong Jiaxue looked innocent on the surface during the time she was with him, Chen Xu knew that the girl's arrogant and domineering behavior in front of him was learned from Dong Siqing. After all, Dong Siqing was always like that in front of Chen Xu and had never been blamed. And her obedient and well-behaved appearance in front of Mrs. Dong was deliberately pretended to curry favor with her in order to gain favor and distance herself from Dong Siqing, and to demand more benefits and favor.

"I think I should really investigate this Dong Jiaxue!" After being reminded by Chen Xu, and remembering Dong Jiaxue's absent-minded state yesterday, Jiang Luoning suddenly understood the twists and turns involved.

After thinking for a moment, he finally approved of Chen Xu's approach and winked at Ah Xing. The boy immediately understood and took the pill from his pocket and fed it to Dong Siqing. After everything was done, the two adjusted their masks and left the room.

Dong Group conference room.

Mrs. Dong sat on the high seat, while Dong Jiaxue stood aside with an expressionless face.

"Mrs. Dong, I think the negative news out there has seriously affected the group's stock market. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

A bold shareholder took the lead in attacking Mrs. Dong, and the other shareholders also began to speak out in agreement.

"Everyone." Mrs. Dong looked around and spoke with a hint of coercion in her voice. The current scene was exactly the same as when she had just taken over the group a few years ago. If she had not had some means back then, she would have won several major overseas projects shortly after taking office, which would have calmed everyone's mouths.
