She sat on the edge of the bed, took Yan Bo's slightly cool hand in one hand, and silently wiped away the tears she couldn't control with the other.
She discovered that ever since she met Yanbo, she had become a crybaby!
In the past, no matter how sad she was, she could hold back her tears by gritting her teeth.
But now, she simply can't hold it in anymore.
Helpless, she could only wipe away her tears and carefully examine the sleeping Yanbo through her blurry, tear-filled eyes.
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Yanbo's lips were pale and dry, and his complexion was also very bad.
He appeared to be asleep, but his brows were slightly furrowed, suggesting that he was still experiencing a headache in his sleep.
Tong Xiaohuai wiped her tear-stained hand haphazardly on her coat, then reached out and touched Yan Bo's face.
Yan Bo stirred slightly, and Tong Xiaohuai thought he was about to wake up. However, he only stirred and did not wake up.
Tong Xiaohuai felt as if her heart was filled with lead, both heavy and sad.
She placed her hand on his cheek, her eyes brimming with tears, yet she stared at him intently.
After watching for about ten minutes, she finally stopped crying. She gathered her thoughts, tucked Yanbo in, and turned to leave the ward.
After Di Xu came out of the ward, he and Brother Yang stayed in the corridor outside the door. When they saw Tong Xiaohuai come out, they went up to greet her.
Still sleeping?
Tong Xiaohuai nodded and said to Brother Yang, "Brother Yang, you stay here and keep watch for a while."
"Senior brother, let's go over there and talk."
Tong Xiaohuai, afraid of disturbing Yanbo, pointed to the end of the corridor.
Di Xu walked over with her side by side, and seeing that the window was wide open, he quickly went over and closed the window.
Yanbo is already in a hospital bed. If his junior sister gets sick too, then things will be troublesome.
"Senior, are those workers really only causing trouble because they're dissatisfied with the construction company's wages?"
With one thing after another happening lately, Tong Xiaohuai couldn't help but overthink things.
Di Xu frowned slightly. "On the surface, that's true, but I have no way of knowing the deeper aspects. I guess we'll have to wait until the boss wakes up before we can start investigating."
Di Xu was exceptionally capable in business, but his connections were far inferior to those of Yan Bo, who had a terrifying background. Therefore, he suspected that something was amiss, but he had no way of knowing how to proceed.
Tong Xiaohuai bit her lip and thought for a moment, "Senior brother, could you please tell me the detailed information about the construction company that caused the trouble today, as well as any other useful information?"
Di Xu certainly understood the importance of this matter, and he was also well aware of how powerful the Tong family behind Tong Xiaohuai was.
He thought about it seriously for a while, and then told Tong Xiaohuai all the information he knew and the whole story.
After listening, Tong Xiaohuai picked up the phone and sent a message.
Soon, her phone rang.
"Dad, I think there's something fishy about this. My senior brother told me some information. Could you have someone investigate them?"
Tong Xiaohuai clearly and concisely relayed the information that Di Xu had just told her to Tong Laoda on the other end of the phone, and the father and daughter talked for nearly twenty minutes.
Di Xu had already tactfully avoided her after she called him "Dad".
The Tong family is not an ordinary family after all; their way of doing things and their methods are different from those of ordinary people.
Did Miss Tong rest on the way?
Back near the ward, Di Xu started chatting with Brother Yang.
Yang shook his head helplessly, "She was so anxious on the way here that she almost cried, how could she sleep?"
Di Xu sighed, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. When I sensed something was wrong, I thought I should rush over and push him away, but it was too late."
Brother Yang comforted him, "It's alright, the Third Young Master is very healthy and will recover soon."
Di Xu agreed with this point, saying, "Yes, the key now is to find out who is behind this, otherwise this matter will go on and on."
When Tong Xiaohuai returned from the phone call, she overheard Di Xu's words.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell Di Xu the preliminary information she had just heard from her father.
"That construction company previously undertook the construction project for the new city hall in F City."
Di Xu turned his head slightly, then frowned.
"Where does the boss's older brother work in City F?"
Tong Xiaohuai nodded. "However, I think it's just a coincidence."
Whether it was a coincidence or not, no one really knows.
At least, no one dares to draw any conclusions before the truth of the matter is fully revealed.
Di Xu had no idea that Yan Bo's relationship with his parents and older brother had become so strained, so he thought it was purely a coincidence.
“It should just be a coincidence…” But after a pause, he added, “Unless, during the construction process, this company had some kind of conflict with the boss’s older brother…”
That explanation makes sense.
It's not impossible that she might take out her anger on Yan Bo after being wronged by Yan Yuan.
Tong Xiaohuai hummed in agreement. "My dad has already had someone investigate, and we probably won't have the results until this morning at the earliest. Senior brother, why don't you and Brother Yang find a hotel nearby to rest? I'll stay here with Yanbo."
Yang glanced at Di Xu and said, "Mr. Di, you should go find a place to rest. I'll stay here and keep watch."
Yang served as both driver and bodyguard. Although there were other bodyguards present, he was still worried about them.
Di Xu was equally worried. "Forget it, it's already this late. I won't get much sleep at the hotel anyway. I'll just take a nap here and wait for the boss to wake up in the morning to see what's going on."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade the two of them, Tong Xiaohuai gave up and went into the ward, dragged a chair to sit by the bedside, and stayed by Yanbo's side until dawn.
When Yan Bo woke up, he had barely opened his eyes when he heard a familiar voice.
"You're awake? How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?"
Tong Xiaohuai glanced at him and saw that he had slightly opened his eyes. She stood up anxiously and leaned down to stare at him.
Although Yan Bo hadn't seen the person in front of him clearly yet, his anxious voice was unmistakable.
Yanbo reached out his hand and, through his blurry vision, touched the indistinct face in front of him.
As his fingertips touched the other person's skin, his already furrowed brows furrowed even more tightly.
Why is your face so cold?
Tong Xiaohuai almost couldn't hold back her tears again.
She raised her hand and placed it over his, sniffed, and spoke.
"Your hands are cold, but my face isn't. How do you feel now?"
Now, Yanbo can finally see things more clearly.
How long have you been here?
He never answered Tong Xiaohuai's question. He only noticed that Tong Xiaohuai looked haggard and assumed that she had been there for a long time.
Tong Xiaohuai lowered her head and kissed his dry lips. "Not long. You fainted last night, and I was only here for four or five hours."
Yan Bo stared at her, "I'm sorry! I made you worry!"
