N City.
Bai Ruichen sat on the only chair in the ward. The rhythmic sound of a heartbeat still echoed in the room. The person on the bed was still asleep, with a pale face.
A woman in a suit was standing next to Bai Ruichen, reporting the news she had just learned to him.
“Uncle, our people in Kyoto have already investigated my cousin’s whereabouts. In addition, our people have also secretly revealed our whereabouts to my cousin’s people as instructed. I think they will definitely be able to find out our identities with their abilities.” Bai Yuhe had only come from N City in Kyoto a few days ago.
The Bai family is an ancient martial arts family, so concealing their whereabouts is very easy for them. When they received the report from the hospital, they noticed that someone was following them. Because they had previously investigated the relationship between the doctor who did the test and Lu Wanzheng, they were able to identify the person as soon as they noticed the follower.
So instead of hiding their whereabouts, they revealed their location, making it much easier for Lu Wanzheng to investigate.
Bai Yuhe received another message on her phone. She immediately took it out to check. She had left someone in Kyoto to keep an eye on Lu Wanzheng's whereabouts. Now that Lu Wanzheng knew their identities, she would definitely come to N City to find the answers.
Sure enough, it was a message from someone she had left in Kyoto: "Uncle, our people said they saw Lu Wanzheng board a plane bound for N City."
Bai Yuhe showed her phone to Bai Ruichen.
Bai Ruichen glanced at the phone and handed it back to Bai Yuhe. "Yuhe, send someone to pick them up at the airport."
Bai Ruichen was referring to "them," not "her." He had just seen a message from his subordinates that Lu Wanzheng had come with her husband, whom she had found in Kyoto.
His daughter had been away from him for over twenty years, and the first thing he did when they met was bring her a son-in-law. He hadn't even checked on the son-in-law's character. But then he thought, what right did a father who had been gone for over twenty years have to forbid his daughter from being with the person she loved?
"Yuhe, show me that man's information." As a father, he was still worried that his daughter was being deceived. The die was cast, and he couldn't blindly break them up, otherwise his daughter, who wasn't close to him to begin with, would definitely break up with him. He was a shrewd judge of character, so he could only get to know the other person first and then get to know him better. If they really weren't a good match, then he would intervene in their marriage.
Bai Yuhe had prepared information about Xiao Qifeng long ago. After she confirmed that Lu Wanzheng was her cousin, she immediately went to check Xiao Qifeng's background. At that time, the two had already announced their marriage registration.
She pulled a document from her briefcase, which contained a densely written record of all of Xiao Qifeng's information from childhood to adulthood. Of course, this was also information that outsiders could see.
"Uncle, please take a look first. I'll go to the airport to pick up my cousin myself in a bit."
"Go ahead." Bai Ruichen's mind was now completely focused on Xiao Qifeng's information.
The information was very detailed. He skimmed through the first part and then focused on the latter part. He saw that Xiao Qifeng had accompanied his daughter to film a dating reality show. He silently memorized the name and then saw that Xiao Qifeng had stayed at a hotel with his daughter who was filming a movie.
At first glance, Bai Ruichen thought this guy was pretty good to his daughter.
"Qianyu, our daughter has good taste. She found a handsome young man, and he seems to treat her well too. I'll spend some time with him to see what kind of person he is. Please wake up soon so we can examine him together." Bai Ruichen placed the documents in his hand on the bedside table and looked affectionately at Lu Qianyu lying on the bed.
Lu Qianyu lay motionless on the bed, completely unaware of what was happening outside. She simply lay there quietly, as if lifeless.
Bai Ruichen was used to this kind of unresponsive scene. He got up on his own, found the variety show on his phone, and projected it onto the TV. "I'll watch your daughter and son-in-law with you." While watching TV, he massaged Lu Qianyu's legs, which were stiff and had some muscle atrophy.
Even though he came to help improve blood circulation every day, Lu Qianyu's muscles still began to atrophy from lying in bed for so long.
“If you wake up any later in your current state, you’ll suffer a lot. But don’t worry, I won’t despise you. We’ll get through this together. I’ll do the rehabilitation with you.” As Bai Ruichen spoke, her vision began to blur, a layer of moisture obscuring her eyes. She could hear the sounds coming from the television.
Bai Ruichen watched Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng's interactions on the variety show, and it was indeed quite sweet. Moreover, one could see from the details that Xiao Qifeng was truly very good to his daughter.
He also gained some understanding of Xiao Qifeng's character.
...
Bai Yuhe tidied herself up and went to the airport to wait.
She had already memorized Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng's appearances, so she didn't take the board with their names written on it.
Two hours later, the plane from Kyoto to N City landed safely. Lu Wanzheng got off the plane, and the two went to collect their suitcases. Lu Wanzheng sat on the suitcase, and Xiao Qifeng pushed it from behind. "I'll send a message to my mother first to tell her that we've arrived."
"Hmm." Xiao Qifeng pushed the cart, searching for the exit.
After Lu Wanzheng sent the message, she looked up and saw a person not far away, wearing a women's suit, who was very eye-catching. She spotted her at a glance in the crowd.
Lu Wanzheng and Bai Yuhe exchanged a glance, and Lu Wanzheng looked away, as it was impolite to stare at someone else.
Unexpectedly, in just one glance, Bai Yuhe felt that the woman looked very familiar. She then looked at the man behind her and realized that he was her cousin's husband. She immediately confirmed that the person wearing a mask and sitting on the suitcase was her cousin.
Bai Yuhe immediately walked towards the two of them.
Lu Wanzheng looked around and noticed that when the woman she had just met was walking towards them, she immediately became alert and grabbed Xiao Qifeng's hand that was holding the handle. "That woman seems to be walking towards us."
"Do you know them? They're probably not here to see us, it's just a coincidence," he said, but he was also wary. N City wasn't his territory.
Bai Yuhe walked up to the two and stopped them, saying, "Gentlemen, wait a moment."
Lu Wanzheng immediately jumped out of the car, looking wary, and at the same time prepared to pull Xiao Qifeng away and run.
"Who are you, and what are you doing blocking our way?" Xiao Qifeng said coldly, shielding Lu Wanzheng behind him.
