"Grandpa!" Gao Yang slammed the door open of Gao Mingcheng's hospital room and rushed in.
Everyone in the ward looked at Gao Yang, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Gao Yang?" Gao Hongfei looked at Gao Yang in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I...I came to see Grandpa." Gao Yang gasped for breath. When he saw that Gao Mingcheng was not only sitting properly on the hospital bed, but also awake, he was overjoyed. "That's great, Grandpa is alright."
Gao Hongfei narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who told you that Grandpa had something to do?"
"I was downstairs just now..." Gao Yang was about to explain when his gaze inadvertently swept over Chen Xiaomo, who was lying unconscious on the sofa next to him. His pupils contracted. "How... how could she be here?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Chen Xiaoxia rushed in, shouting, "Xiao Mo? Where's my Xiao Mo?"
She looked around and quickly found Chen Xiaomo. She immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly, crying, "Xiaomo, my Xiaomo..."
Seeing that Chen Xiaomo didn't react, she glared angrily at Gao Hongfei: "How could Xiaomo be like this? What did you do to my Xiaomo?"
"Don't worry, she's just temporarily unconscious," Gao Hongfei said coldly, pointing to the blood-stained scissors on the table beside him. "Instead of questioning us, why don't you explain to us what happened?"
Chen Xiaoxia hugged Chen Xiaomo tightly, her whole body trembling involuntarily: "I don't understand what you mean by that."
"You brought Chen Xiaomo out of the mental hospital, saying you were going to take her to the amusement park, but she ended up here and stabbed my father with scissors. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Gao Hongfei asked.
Gao Yang stared wide-eyed at Chen Xiaoxia, who was trembling while holding Chen Xiaomo, and then at Gao Mingcheng, who was sitting calmly on the hospital bed. His face was filled with undisguised shock.
He never expected that something like this would happen here just now.
Connecting this to Lin Wan's earlier words, he vaguely guessed something, but he still couldn't figure it out. Why?
"Xiao Mo..." With a shrill cry, Lin Wan arrived a step later.
Upon seeing Lin Wan arrive, Gao Mingcheng and Xing Zhaozhao, who had been sitting calmly, unconsciously straightened their backs and looked over with menacing eyes.
As soon as Lin Wan entered the ward, her sharp gaze swept over Gao Mingcheng and Xing Zhaozhao.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng was not only alive but also awake, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but curse him inwardly. He's out of his mind, he's useless, he can't even handle a small matter, and all her efforts have been wasted.
Then, her gaze met Xing Zhaozhao's icy eyes. She then noticed Xing Zhaozhao and Gao Mingcheng's clasped hands, and froze, nearly having a heart attack. Was she going to turn on her now that her man was awake? Could an old, dying man possibly be more important than piles of cash? Damn it.
In an instant, Lin Wan's mind raced, and a look of deep sorrow crossed her face as she rushed towards Chen Xiaomo: "Xiaomo, my darling, what happened to you? You were perfectly fine just now..."
"What did you do to my Xiao Mo?" she asked Gao Hongfei angrily.
"Your Xiao Mo?" Gao Hongfei sneered, "You've used her time and time again. Even though she's not thinking straight now, you still instigated her to hurt my father, showing no regard for her life or death. How can you still have the nerve to call her that?"
Holding Chen Xiaomo in her arms, Chen Xiaoxia listened to Gao Hongfei's words, her heart breaking, and she couldn't help but sob softly. Her poor daughter.
That's pathetic.
Lin Wan glared at Chen Xiaoxia, then looked at Gao Hongfei, her neck stiff, and said, "Do you have any evidence? Just say that I instigated it?"
"If you hadn't instigated her, would she, with her muddleheaded mind, have been able to run all the way from the amusement park to the hospital and hurt my father?" Gao Hongfei asked.
Lin Wanhe sneered, glanced at Gao Mingcheng, and said, "Why not? If your father hadn't forcibly taken her child from her back then, would she still be holding a grudge and hating her to this day?"
Rob?
Gao Yang listened from the side, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but look at Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng looked coldly at Lin Wan and said, "If you don't take the child away, are you just going to watch him grow up in a mental hospital? Or raise him to be a profit-driven person if you keep him around?"
Gao Yang felt a warmth in his heart.
“However, given her current mental state, after all these years, I can still understand why she has harbored resentment and hatred towards me for the sake of the child,” Gao Mingcheng continued.
Lin Wan felt a slight sense of relief.
However, before she could even relax, Gao Mingcheng looked at her with a cold gaze again.
"But you, you made her find the hospital from the amusement park all by herself. Do you really think I'm stupid?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Lin Wan opened her mouth, still trying to argue.
Gao Mingcheng didn't give her that chance and continued, "I have no evidence? Who told you that just because I can't find evidence, I can't do anything to you?"
Lin Wan's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat.
"Back then, because you sought out Chen Wei, I let you off once for Zhaoming's sake. I don't know where you got the courage to come again. Do you think I'm lying here and you can't do anything to me? You should have gone all the way and found a suitable person, or even taken matters into your own hands, to ensure that I was eliminated as a future threat. Instead, you set your sights on your mentally unstable granddaughter, hoping she could do things for you, and hoping that you could get away unscathed if things went wrong. There's no such thing as a free lunch," Gao Mingcheng said coldly.
Lin Wan was drenched in cold sweat. She stubbornly stuck out her neck and looked at Gao Mingcheng: "So what? If you're so capable, go ahead and call the police to arrest me."
"Call the police?" Gao Mingcheng shook his head. "Without evidence, even if I call the police, there's nothing I can do to you."
A smug smile appeared on Lin Wan's lips.
Gao Mingcheng looked at Chen Xiaomo, who was still lying in Chen Xiaoxia's arms, and sighed softly. He said, "She's a good girl. She always trusted you wholeheartedly. Even though you caused her to have a mental breakdown because of what you did, she chose to forget all the unhappy things and still chose to trust you. Although you are heartless and still take advantage of her time and time again even in this state, I still want to fulfill this small wish of hers."
Lin Wan froze, staring blankly at Gao Mingcheng, not immediately understanding: "What do you mean?"
“Since she likes her grandmother so much, why don’t you go and keep her company?” Gao Mingcheng said.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Gao Hongfei replied.
The door opened, and several tall, burly caregivers in uniforms from Qingshan Mental Hospital entered. They looked at Gao Hongfei and said, "Hello, Mr. Gao, we've come to pick someone up."
Lin Wan's expression immediately changed in shock.
