Chapter 126 Sorrow
I stood up and quickly returned to the room, and sure enough, except for the wide open balcony, the house was empty.
Lu Yanjing walked to the balcony, looked at the broken glass, and his hands on the railing gradually clenched, his eyes dark and unclear.
He should know that Nan Zhiyan would never be as submissive as he appeared.
Fu Yunsheng and Lu Cheng followed and as soon as they entered the room, they saw Lu Yanjing with his feet on the railing, about to jump off the balcony.
"Ah Jing, what are you doing!"
"Stop him, quick!"
The two voices rang out at the same time, but it was too late. Lu Yanjing leaped up, and the huge impact force when he landed made him dizzy for a moment.
But he quickly stood up and bent his broken leg back with his bare hands.
"Where are the people?"
Grabbing the frightened person nearby, Lu Yanjing asked a question. The man was frightened by his bloodshot eyes and pointed tremblingly in the direction where Nan Zhiyan escaped.
At this moment, Nan Zhiyan had already got into the car sent by Devin to pick him up.
"How's my mother doing?"
"Madam has changed her medication in the past few days according to your previous instructions. She has become much more awake. Lord Deven has also arranged for someone to bring Madam out."
The person in the co-pilot seat turned his head and lowered his eyes slightly, answering Nan Zhiyan's question respectfully.
"What about the medical center?"
Nan Zhiyan casually changed the system of the wrist terminal back to normal and then threw it out of the window.
"Mr. Lin has woken up, and Lulu has taken him to the jump point."
"Sui Yu's whereabouts have also been revealed to several other major families."
During this period, Ji Lan was attacked, Nan Zhiyan disappeared, and there was a trace of the Empire's A-level wanted criminal.
The imperial nobility and the royal family were in chaos. Because of Sui Yu's identity, the parliament pointed the finger of blame for the attack on Ji Lan and Nan Zhiyan's disappearance at Sui Yu.
As expected, after listening to the report from the co-pilot, Nan Zhiyan put on the terminal handed to him.
Although this was not her plan at first.
What Lu Yanjing did was indeed beyond her expectations, but she had to say that this time, she should really thank Lu Yanjing.
He personally distracted Duke Ulraf and diverted the attention of the Sisso family.
Nan Wenqi must have been extremely busy these past two days and couldn't take care of anything.
After the person in the passenger seat finished his report, he turned around, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Nan Zhiyan's lowered and cold eyebrows, and his heart skipped a beat.
It was through this incident that he realized the terrifying nature of Miss Taran, who was usually introverted and quiet.
Although it is unclear how this person was able to contact Devin while in prison, just by being in the dark, he was able to muddy the waters of the empire with his own strength.
This person's cunning is terrifyingly deep. No wonder Lord Devin is so devoted to him.
Opening the terminal, Nan Zhiyan sent a message to Nan Zhixing. In such a situation, how could Wende, who was in the interstellar prison, be missing?
As for Lu Yanjing, this time bomb, even if I can't delay him forever, at least I can delay him for a while, wait until they leave and clean up the mess.
Thinking of the fact that he would soon meet a completely sober Yun Wanyue, Nan Zhiyan's lips curled up into a smile and his eyes showed a bit more warmth.
But it didn't last long until the terminal on his wrist suddenly rang.
Nan Zhiyan picked up the phone and Di Wen's voice came from the other side.
"Miss Taran, things have changed. Your father has suddenly gone to a nursing home."
"What?"
Nan Zhiyan frowned instantly, and rarely lost his composure.
At the same time, Nan Xin's message popped up from the control panel.
[Sister, someone from the Yun family is here. I don’t know what they talked about. Father has gone out.]
Yun family?
Nan Zhiyan suddenly felt uneasy. The current head of the Yun family was his mother's brother, but he did not have a good relationship with his mother.
Ever since his grandfather passed away and he took over the position of head of the family, he has never had any contact with them again.
Even when Nan Wenqi announced the news that his mother was ill, no one from the Yun family came to visit. How come they suddenly came now?
"Hold still for now, and wait until Nan Wenqi leaves before taking action."
He gave the order with a frown, but there was an indescribable anxiety in his heart.
The Yun family’s inexplicable intervention always made Nan Zhiyan feel that something bad was going to happen.
Even the waiting time became unbearable, but now, Nan Zhiyan could only wait.
At some point, the terminal suddenly rang again.
Nan Zhiyan picked up the call quickly, but the other party's short words made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
"Something's wrong, Miss Taran. Your father has taken your mother to the Imperial Medical Center."
"What's going on?"
Nan Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition filled his mind.
"Our people didn't dare to get too close and only stood guard near the door. We saw your father go in for a while and then come out holding your mother, but he looked very panicked."
"Besides, your mother seems to have lost consciousness."
Devin on the other end of the terminal hesitated for a moment, but finally said it tactfully. In fact, what the man under his command saw was Nan Wenqi, who was covered in blood and carrying someone.
Nan Zhiyan hung up the terminal and his hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously.
"To the medical center."
No, although Nan Wenqi doesn't like his mother, he will not hurt her in order to control them.
Nan Zhiyan forced himself to calm down and squeezed out a few words from his throat.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Nan Zhiyan opened the car door and ran out.
Even though he forced himself to calm down, the panic that kept rising in his heart still disturbed Nan Zhiyan's thoughts.
He didn't even pay attention to the stairs under his feet. The moment he fell on the stairs, he felt a sharp pain in his knees and forehead at the same time.
But Nan Zhiyan seemed to be unaware of anything. He quickly got up and rushed to the operating room on the top floor.
At the end of the corridor, the lights in the operating room were still on. Nan Wenqi was standing aside with blood all over his chest, and a medical staff was treating his injuries.
When Nan Wenqi saw Nan Zhiyan suddenly appear but looked embarrassed, he rarely spoke.
Even before this, he was still furious about Nan Zhiyan's disappearance.
But now, he just looked at the lights in the operating room, which was eerily quiet.
Ignoring Nan Wenqi who was standing beside him, Nan Zhiyan just looked in the direction of the operating room, his trembling fingers uncontrollably starting to clasp his palms.
Until the lights went out and the doctor came out.
Nan Zhiyan regained a little bit of rationality, but when he looked at the doctor, he couldn't ask a single question.
"I'm sorry, Lord Taran, we tried our best. Your Madam was too weak, and she lost too much blood when her neck was cut. We were brought in a little too late, and we couldn't save her."
The doctor lowered his eyes, his tone regretful and somewhat puzzled. How could a countess commit suicide by slitting her throat?
But this is the Imperial Medical Center. Even if he has doubts, he will not delve into it. This is not something he should care about.
"Please accept my condolences."
As soon as these three words came out, Nan Zhiyan felt a buzzing in his ears.
Her vision began to blur, and in a trance, she seemed to see Nan Wenqi grabbing the doctor's collar and yelling at him.
