Chapter 254 Confirms the Speculation



She carefully recalled the situation at the time. In her hazy state, although she couldn't see anything clearly, she definitely felt her body being moved as if by someone trying their best to move it before her consciousness faded away.

Beneath her lay Ao Cang, and the reason he wanted to pry her apart was all too obvious.

However, this matter involves Ao Cang's true identity, and Xu Heyu is also present, so she can't say it directly. She can only say that she doesn't remember.

After Xu Heyu and Shang Duojin left together, leaving only Xu Hui and Xu Wenfeng in the ward, she finally told the truth.

"So I suspect that this accident might be aimed at Cang Cang?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenfeng frowned and asked her, "Besides us, who else have you told about Ao Cang's ability to transform into a human?"

"No, he wasn't a humanoid. He sold some dragon blood that could cure mental disturbances for me before. That's probably when he was targeted. But his face wasn't shown then; only his hair color was noticed. However, he disguised his hair color when he was out in public. It shouldn't be like this..."

"So, have you ever considered that the problem might lie with you? No one saw his face back then, but what about you? You asked me for help when you said you were going to the black market auction house. When you went to find Cong Lie, did you disguise yourself flawlessly?"

His words were like a revelation to Qiao Mei, and she suddenly understood what was going on.

If it were just her, she certainly didn't manage to conceal herself completely, because she had removed her disguise when she was at Cong Lie's gambling den.

At that time, she felt there was no problem and the place was relatively safe, so she didn't think too much about it.

They completely forgot that people could also target her.

After all, what she was going to retrieve happened to be related to Ao Cang.

She looked frustrated and helpless, and asked Xu Wenfeng, "What should we do now?"

"According to what you said, since that person didn't choose to take Ao Cang away, he certainly didn't come for nothing. He must have taken this opportunity to do something to Ao Cang. After Chonghua finishes treating Ao Cang, I'll have him examine Ao Cang more carefully. That's all we can do for now."

Qiao Mei nodded, wanting to say something more, but then her head spun and her face paled even more.

Seeing this, Xu Hui told her to close her eyes and rest, otherwise she wouldn't have the energy to visit Ao Cang after his surgery was over.

After Qiao Mei obediently closed her eyes, Xu Hui wiped her face while explaining the general situation of her injury.

They said she only suffered minor injuries, with a few cuts on her skin, and that nothing else was found.

This clearly shows just how well Ao Cang protected her.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be completely fine before Qiao Yingying's birthday party starts."

As for Ao Cang, Xu Hui didn't say much because she didn't know the situation.

Qiao Mei fell into a deep sleep. Seeing this, Xu Hui got up and left the ward, helping Xu Wenfeng walk towards the door of the operating room. She asked him if there was any news about the interstellar police's search.

"No, there are more than 10,000 tourists stranded in Shizan Mountain this time, and not a single one of them has escaped from the blockchain on their own. This makes the search very difficult, and it will take at least three days to finish."

After Xu Wenfeng finished speaking, the operating room lights went out, presumably because the surgery on Ao Cang had been completed.

To confirm, Xu Hui made a phone call to Li Chonghua using her personal terminal. Only after receiving his affirmative answer did she go inside with Xu Wenfeng.

Once inside, Ao Cang's body was almost entirely covered in tubes, and his face was deathly pale; it was a frightening sight.

Fortunately, Li Chonghua said his condition wasn't particularly serious; what was more serious was that his spiritual consciousness was too depleted.

"As for the specific treatment, I estimate that only QC520 star stones can be effective, but QC520 star stones are currently impossible to find on the market. I can only ask Xiao Mei to try making offerings for him."

It was no secret to Li Chonghua and Xu Hui that Ao Cang's injuries could be alleviated through these two methods. Xu Hui noted this down and then asked him when Ao Cang was expected to recover.

If it gets too late, the person who will accompany Qiao Mei to Qiao Yingying's birthday party will have to be changed.

In that situation, it was difficult for her to protect herself, let alone Qiao Mei. Although she could manage to protect her, it would be better to find a strong helper.

Li Chonghua did not give a definite answer, but said that he would have to wait until Ao Cang woke up to inquire about his specific physical condition.

At the same time, at the hospital entrance.

Upon hearing the news that Qiao Mei had fallen from the cable car into the snow-covered mountains, Yan Qing immediately used his private aircraft to rush to the location as quickly as possible.

But just after asking Qiao Mei's room number, Shang Duojin stopped him.

"Giant Qing, what brings you here? Did you come to see Sister Qiao?"

"Yes, how is Rose doing? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Shang Duojin wanted to say that he had done everything he could to help, but remembering that the Yan family had some influence that other merchants didn't have, he swallowed his words.

"We'll have to go in and ask Aunt Xu and the others. Sister Qiao isn't feeling well right now and needs to rest more. We'll go to the lounge to wait for her. You can go and see her."

After saying that, Shang Duojin yawned, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and then glanced at the quantum brain bracelet on his hand.

It was almost nine o'clock the next day, but it was a very overcast day, and being in the snow-capped mountains, it was easy to get the illusion that it was still dark.

Xu Heyu followed silently behind, and only after entering the lounge did he ask Shang Duojin in a hoarse voice about the results of the investigation on his side.

"I have gained quite a few more useful forces on my side, which may be of some help."

Although he couldn't do anything about the person who harmed Qiao Mei, he could deduce that person's identity based on his memories from his past life.

As long as there are enough clues.

Shang Duojin didn't know much about Xu Heyu's current situation, but since it concerned Qiao Mei, he figured having another helper was always beneficial. After explaining the general situation, he sent some of the clues he had to Xu Heyu's account.

At this moment, Zuo Chenxing also spoke up unexpectedly, asking Shang Duojin to send him a copy as well.

"My family might be able to help in some way."

Regarding Zuo Chenxing, Shu Qingqing only knew the information he was willing to show to the public; she knew nothing more about his detailed background.

Hearing him say this suddenly now, and it's all for Qiao Mei's sake, I couldn't help but feel a little sore.

And the speculation that his feelings for Qiao Mei were unusual was confirmed at this moment.

Shang Duojin was surprised: "I've never heard you mention your home before. Would you mind telling me about it?"
