"...He knocked me out, sent the other people away, and set a fire in the villa... He wanted to make it look like an accidental fire and burn me to death in it..."
The bodyguards, servants and drivers in the villa were sent away by Tang's father. The two bodyguards that Xia Shige knocked unconscious were Tang's father's men. They were guarding there to ensure that Tang Shiqi would not escape from the villa.
Listening to Tang Shiqi's intermittent narration, Xia Shige was very shocked.
How could there be such a vicious man in the world!
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he wanted to burn his own daughter alive!
And... I didn't expect that Tang Shiqi's father was actually related to that group of rebels... and was also involved with foreign forces...
Thinking of this, Xia Shige suddenly realized - no wonder Wu Yu said that last night!
What Tang's father did is a crime that costs him his head. He colluded with foreign forces and created unrest in the country. The higher-ups will definitely hold him accountable, and it is hard to say whether Tang Shiqi will be implicated by then.
Tang Shiqi's sobbing was particularly clear in the quiet ward. Seeing her crying so sadly, Xia Shige didn't know what to say. He could only try to comfort her: "Don't cry, he won't have such a bad ending... These are all in the past, you are gone..."
Tang Shiqi didn't answer. She had been suppressing her feelings the whole night and hadn't cried in front of Zhou Ran. But when she saw Xia Shige now and recalled how she had desperately carried her out of the sea of fire, she just wanted to cry out all the grievances in her heart to her.
But Xia Shige was not good at comforting people. Seeing Tang Shiqi crying non-stop, she really didn't know how to comfort her. She could only tentatively say: "Hey...where is your father now?...If you are really angry and sad, why don't I help you kill him!"
Perhaps it was because Xia Shige's words touched her funny bone that Tang Shiqi, who was still crying, couldn't help laughing.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe he can't be killed... I heard that he fled abroad on a private plane..."
Tang Shiqi only learned the news this morning. Just two hours ago, Zhou Ran told her that her father knew that the rebels had been defeated and his actions had been exposed, so he simply took away all the property and fled abroad in a private plane with a bunch of illegitimate children.
Things have come to this point, Tang Shiqi doesn't really care about her father's life or death. Even if he is still alive, he will never be able to return to China in this lifetime. But the problem is...
——How should she deal with herself when her own father did such a thing?
Everyone knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Tang family. Now that her father had committed treason, how would she face other people? How would she face the outside world's gaze?
Also, she is Zhou Ran's wife. Given the status of the Zhou family in the political and business circles, will her presence affect the outside world's evaluation of the Zhou family? How will the Zhou family view her then?
It's not that she doesn't trust Zhou Ran, but she knows that people's hearts are fickle, and her grandfather is the most obvious example. If that happens, what should she do?
Tang Shiqi thought a lot, and the more she thought, the more helpless she felt...
At this moment, there was a knock on the door and a doctor in a white coat pushed the door open and walked in.
The doctor flipped through the medical records in his hand and said, "Ms. Tang Shiqi, right? According to the results of last night's examination, the situation is very optimistic, but now we need to do a few more tests. If the indicators are fine, I think you can be discharged tomorrow!"
Seeing that the doctor was going to take Tang Shiqi for a check-up, Xia Shige comforted Tang Shiqi with a few words, then got up and left.
