Chapter 249: Touching her means touching Jiang's
A few days later, it was time for me to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up.
Jiang Yichen called to tell me that he might be late because of an important meeting at the company. I sent him a message, telling him not to worry, that I would go to the hospital by myself and that I could handle it.
When I arrived at the hospital, I had just registered and was about to go to the waiting area when I heard a small sob. I turned around and saw a little girl standing in the corridor, looking around with tears in her eyes, looking very helpless.
I walked over, squatted down, and asked her softly, "Little sister, what's wrong with you? Can't you find your mother?"
The little girl nodded and sobbed, "Mom...Mom is gone...I can't find her..."
My heart softened, and I quickly comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, sister will help you find your mother, okay?"
The little girl wiped her tears and nodded.
I wanted to take her to see a nurse for help, but the little girl held my hand and whispered, "Sister, my mother just said she was going out for a while and asked me to wait for her here...but she hasn't come back for a long time..."
I frowned, feeling a little uneasy. There were so many people coming and going in the hospital, and if something really happened to her mother or she got into some trouble, it would be terrible.
I hesitated for a while, but finally decided to take her to look for it first. After all, it was too dangerous for a little girl to be alone in the hospital.
"Then do you know which direction Mom went?" I asked her softly.
The girl pointed in the direction of the hospital gate: "Mom said she was going out to buy something and would be back soon..."
I nodded and took her hand: "Okay, sister will take you to find mom, but you have to follow me closely and don't run around, okay?"
She nodded obediently and held my hand tightly. I took her to the hospital gate, but I felt a little nervous. After all, I was also a patient, and if I encountered any danger, I might not be able to handle it.
As I was thinking about it, I didn't expect the little girl to run out.
The hot steam rising from the asphalt road made people feel dizzy. Suddenly, three men wearing masks rushed out from the side.
"Ms. Gu, right?" The leading man with tattoos tapped his palm with a steel pipe.
It was too late when I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
I walked too fast and fell to the ground, with a sharp pain in my knee. When I looked up, the iron rod had already come down with the sound of wind.
At that moment, “Bang!”
The iron rod hit the folding chair that suddenly turned sideways. The aluminum alloy frame twisted instantly. I subconsciously closed my eyes, but I felt someone pulling me into his arms.
"It's okay." Jiang Yichen's voice was above his head, with suppressed anger.
I opened my eyes and saw him holding my head tightly.
The thugs were obviously not expecting someone to suddenly appear and were stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yichen seized the opportunity and kicked the man on the knee. The thug screamed and fell to the ground, and the steel pipe fell out of his hand and rolled far away.
"Mr. Gu!" There were hurried footsteps in the distance, and four bodyguards in black rushed down from the business car.
"Stay away," he said without turning his head, his eyes fixed on the two remaining thugs.
When the thugs saw the approaching men, they dropped their sticks and ran away.
"Chase me."
"yes"
Jiang Yichen looked at me with concern: "Momo, are you okay? I'll take you home first."
I haven't recovered from my shock yet, and he just slowly helped me back.
Go to the hospital, "You should have a full body check first, so that I can feel at ease."
I did as I was told, praying that the baby in my belly would be okay.
"Don't worry, I'm with you." Jiang Yichen never let go of my hand. Fortunately, nothing happened.
"Don't go out these few days. The person grandma sent to you was a few days late a few days ago. I didn't expect this to happen. I have to go to Jiang's to deal with some problems now. I will be back to accompany you in the evening."
I let him do his thing first and went back home.
Not long after, Jiang Yichen returned to Jiang Group.
"Go check for me what happened. Momo almost got into trouble when we first arrived at the hospital."
Jiang Yichen tried his best to control his emotions, and the atmosphere in the entire office was very serious.
"This incident may be related to the black-hearted travel agency last time. I believe there will be clues soon."
Lin Nan wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
"They won't be so lucky next time."
"From today on, Jiang's security level is raised to red."
Then he added: "Let the legal department prepare the materials. I want the parent company of that travel agency to go bankrupt within a week."
“Would that be too radical?”
Lin Nan frowned, "But..."
"To touch her is to touch the Jiang family."
Lin Nan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I'll do it right away."
At this time, the police called on my mobile phone, "Any progress on the witness side?"
I took a deep breath and said, "No one is willing to testify. I'm still trying to figure it out. It may take some time."
After I hung up the phone, I was restless. The witnesses were backing off one by one, and the case was about to come to a stalemate. I looked into the kitchen, where my grandmother and the babysitter were discussing the dinner menu, their voices coming intermittently. I quietly grabbed my bag and slipped out the door while they weren't paying attention.
The sun was glaring outside, so I walked quickly to the uncle and aunt's house. As soon as I reached the door, I heard a quarrel coming from inside. I knocked on the door, and it was the aunt's son who opened the door.
"Who are you?" His tone was cold and his eyes were wary.
"I came to see the uncle and aunt and want to talk to them about testifying." I tried to make my voice sound gentle.
When he heard about testifying, his face immediately darkened. He blocked the door and had no intention of letting me in. “My parents won’t testify. They’ve already received threatening letters, and I don’t want to put them at risk.”
My heart tightened, and I asked hurriedly, "What threatening letter?"
He pulled a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to me. I unfolded it and saw a few words written in red paint on it: "Mind your own business, or your whole family will be in trouble!"
"Did you see clearly?" His voice was filled with suppressed anger. "My parents are old and can't stand the hardship. Our family can't afford to gamble!"
I clenched the paper tightly, feeling a pang of pain in my heart. “I know this is dangerous, but if we don’t stand up, those people will only become more rampant. I will find a way to ensure your safety.”
He sneered: "Promise? How can you promise? Those people are not even afraid of the police, what can you do?"
I gritted my teeth, my mind racing: "I can arrange for people to protect you 24 hours a day, install surveillance, and even let you move to a safe place temporarily..."
"That's enough!" he interrupted me, his voice tired.
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
"Actually, Miss Gu is pretty good too, if it weren't for her."
The aunt spoke well of me, but her son was also afraid that something might happen.
I was just thinking about what to do when the uncle opened the door.
"Gu girl, it's really hard to say now!"
As I looked at the open door, I knew I couldn't miss this opportunity.
"I can definitely guarantee your safety!"
The aunt also took the opportunity to let me in.
