Xu Wan squeezed the man's hand hard. "I don't need you to get a tubal ligation. I want our baby. I believe they will be as smart and outstanding as you."
“What’s so great about being like me? Being like you is enough.” Jiang Tingzhou raised his hand, his fingers tracing the contours of the woman’s face. “If you’re a girl, I’d like someone as beautiful, independent, and well-mannered as you. If you’re a boy, I’d like someone as resilient, intelligent, and kind as you.”
"I'm not that good."
Xu Wan denied it.
"I can see your kindness, and that's enough. It's okay if you don't realize it yourself." Jiang Tingzhou pulled the blanket up for the woman. "It's getting late, go to sleep. I'll be right next to you. Just call me if you want to do anything tonight."
Xu Wan was indeed very tired.
This wasn't actually a bad thing for her; extreme exhaustion left her with no energy to think about losing her baby.
Jiang Tingzhou got up and had just turned off the light in the ward when his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He waved his phone at Xu Wan before taking it and going outside.
"General Manager Jiang, Xie Ning was shot in the lung and was rushed to the hospital but died despite all efforts to save him."
The caller was Lü Wei.
Jiang Tingzhou's expression was cold, and he said in a detached tone, "He got off easy."
They kidnapped Xu Wan and caused her to miscarry.
If he doesn't die now, he will definitely not let him go.
Lu Wei continued, "We're already investigating that car with the fake license plate, but it's an assembled vehicle and doesn't have an engine number, so we don't have any leads yet."
Jiang Tingzhou had previously suspected that Xie Ning alone was absolutely incapable of carrying out this kidnapping.
So who is behind him?
What is the purpose?
If the other party knows his identity and is only after money, then asking for only five million is unreasonable.
If the other party doesn't know his identity and is only after money, it's unreasonable to persuade Xie Ning to do these things.
Jiang Tingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Continue the investigation."
-
Xu Wan slept for a full twelve hours.
I woke up at around 3 p.m.
As she stared blankly at the white ceiling, the hospital room door opened.
Jiang Tingzhou came in from outside and saw that she had her eyes open. He quickly walked over and asked, "Awake?"
"Um."
Xu Wan noticed that the man's eyes were bluish, indicating that he hadn't slept well the night before.
Jiang Tingzhou sat down beside the woman's bed. "Are you hungry? Mom brought lunch over, but she left it there since you weren't awake yet. The soup is in a thermos; have some first."
"mom?"
Xu Wan was taken aback when she heard this address.
Jiang Tingzhou gently pinched her cheek: "What's wrong? Did you lose your memory after waking up? Did you forget what happened last night?"
Xu Wan then began to recall things little by little.
Yes, she was kidnapped yesterday, but Jiang Tingzhou rescued her in the middle of the night. Later, Ling Ya arrived...
Looking at Xu Wan's expression, Jiang Tingzhou said helplessly, "I wanted you to recall what happened at the hospital. Don't think about what happened before; it's all in the past. The police will probably come to ask about it later. Just briefly tell me what you know."
Xu Wan lowered her eyes, recalling what happened last night, and said, "Yesterday... I think I heard Xie Ning making a phone call to someone."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Tingzhou became nervous.
"It sounded like they were saying something like... promise him he could go abroad for medical treatment, or they'd retaliate against you..." Xu Wan tried hard to recall, "It was raining heavily and there was thunder, so I couldn't hear very clearly..."
"It's alright, just leave the rest to the police."
Jiang Tingzhou gently stroked the top of the woman's head to comfort her.
At this moment, the ward door opened again, and Ling Ya pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing the young couple being all lovey-dovey, I turned my head and looked at the dining table in the ward.
The lunch she left there when she left at noon is still there untouched.
"Jiang Tingzhou, what are you doing? Wanwan woke up and you didn't even feed her? What do you have to say now?"
While scolding Jiang Tingzhou, Ling Ya walked to the dining table, opened the thermos, and checked the food inside.
She noticed the food was getting cold and said to Jiang Tingzhou, "Go heat it up, quickly."
Jiang Tingzhou obediently went to cool off.
Xu Wan quickly said, "Well, actually I just woke up and haven't had time to eat yet."
Lingya brought over a bowl of soup, sat down, and said, "Alright, don't take his side. My son has always been single-minded and doesn't know how to take care of girls at all!"
