Chapter 262: Sinking into the Sea
At Haikou in the western suburbs of Kyoto, Chi Wenyan was struggling in the rough sea, and the waves swallowed him and spit him out again and again.
The salty sea water kept pouring into my mouth and nose, making it difficult to breathe. Every breath felt like a sharp knife was being pulled in my throat.
I don’t know how long I floated in the sea. The wounds on my body began to feel numb, and gradually my consciousness became dark.
Chi Wenyan completely lost consciousness and seemed to hear the sound of a ship in a daze.
The sound came from far away and gradually got closer. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt his body become very light, like a feather.
It seemed like he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it at all, and finally his consciousness fell into darkness.
…
At the same time, in the hospital, Ji Wan slowly opened his eyes.
Her head was still a little dizzy and her eyes were having trouble focusing because she had just woken up.
She first felt the strong light around her, which hurt her eyes a little, and then she realized that she was in a hospital.
My vision gradually became clear, and I saw a group of people surrounding me, including doctors, nurses, and familiar faces, but Chi Wenyan was not there.
Ji Wan's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He ignored his weak body and struggled to sit up.
With a hint of panic in her voice, she asked, "Where's Wen Yan? Have you found him?"
The people around looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and no one spoke.
Ji Lin pursed his lips and held Ji Wan's cold hand.
"Wanwan, there's no rush to find someone. Chi Wenyan has been learning Sanda since he was a child, so nothing will happen to him. He should be settling down somewhere to recuperate now, so don't worry."
"Brother, have you been to the Chi family?"
"They went, they went. The Chi family has alibis, so we have to take our time to investigate."
Ji Wan's eyes became somewhat empty, and his lips couldn't stop trembling.
All kinds of things that might have happened to Chi Wenyan kept appearing in my mind.
Her hands tightly grasped the bed sheet, her knuckles turning white from the force. "How could I not find it? How could this happen?" Ji Wan's voice was filled with tears. She hadn't cried in a long, long time, and this was the first time everyone saw Ji Wan cry.
Wang Lan gave Ji Lin a look, Ji Lin sighed, and took Feng Hao out of the ward temporarily.
There were only a few girls left in the ward.
"Wanwan, we have sent many people to look for your brother-in-law. You are still very weak and need to rest well. Don't get too excited. You are pregnant and cannot move the fetus."
Ji Wan couldn't hear what Wang Lan said at all, and his mind was full of Chi Wenyan.
He lowered his eyes for a moment, stood up and said, "No, I have to go find him. I can't just sit here and wait." As he said that, he was about to pull out the IV tube in his hand.
Several people rushed forward to stop him and tried to persuade Ji Wan to calm down, but how could Ji Wan be rational?
Seeing this, Ailan stood in front of Ji Wan, gently pressed her shoulders with both hands, and said softly, "Madam, please calm down! What's the point of going out like this? Don't you care about the baby in your belly?"
After hearing what Alan said, Ji Wan hesitated for a moment.
"But I can't just ignore Wen Yan."
Alan took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and steady.
"I know you're worried about Mr. Gu, but if you go out in your current state, let's not talk about what's going on outside. You're running around excitedly while pregnant. If you lose the baby, your body will collapse. Even if Mr. Gu is safe and sound, do you think he'll be happy to see you like this? He'll definitely blame himself and feel sad."
Ji Wan bit her lip, her hands unconsciously stroking her slightly bulging belly, and the madness in her eyes was gradually replaced by hesitation.
Seeing her wavering, Alan advised, "Madam, the situation outside is unclear right now. At least we haven't received any definite bad news yet. The most important thing you should do now is to rest well and conserve your energy. No matter what happens, you have to think about yourself and the child."
Ji Wan's body slowly relaxed, and rationality gradually returned to his eyes. He closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, touched his belly and whispered, "You're right, Alan, I can't be so impulsive. I have to be responsible for the baby."
Ailan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Wan regain his sanity. Wang Lan and Sun Tian also breathed a sigh of relief and stayed with Ji Wan.
The door of the ward opened and Wang Lan came out. Ji Lin hurried forward and asked her what was wrong.
"She's calmed down, but she's not in a good state. Why don't you go downstairs and buy some food? She hasn't eaten all day."
"Okay, I'll go buy it now."
Ji Lin and Feng Hao went downstairs. Feng Hao also looked sad, with his fists clenched and hanging at his sides.
"Don't worry, we'll do our best to find it. Have you found anything on the surveillance camera at the manor?"
"No, the surveillance camera for that time period happened to be damaged. It has been sent for repair now. I don't know if it can be repaired."
This was obviously done deliberately by someone, but unfortunately the suspects all had alibis.
Ji Lin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Continue to keep a close eye on the Chi family's every move."
"yes."
The two went downstairs to buy some light meals, and returned to the hospital ward. Ji Wan closed his eyes to rest, and the three girls in the room also closed their eyes to rest on one side. Everyone was tired after a day of hard work.
Hearing the footsteps, Ji Wan opened his eyes and smiled weakly at Ji Lin.
Ji Lin felt heartbroken when he saw this. From childhood to adulthood, apart from the death of his parents, his own disappearance, and that beast Zhou Zechuan, Ji Wan had not felt so weak and sad for a long time.
"elder brother."
Ji Wan's voice was as light as a feather falling, as if it was about to fly away in the next second.
Ji Lin felt so distressed that he quickly walked to Ji Wan's side, sat beside her bed, stared at her, and said softly, "Wan Wan, my brother is here."
Ji Wan pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled. "I'm fine, don't worry. Chi Wenyan is lucky. I believe he can come back to see me."
Ji Lin couldn't help but choked up and nodded, saying softly, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side to support you. I will help you share the burden."
Ji Wan raised his head slightly and tried to force a weak smile. "Okay, I feel relieved now that you said that, but I can't keep being depressed like this."
She took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up, "I have to pull myself together. Both of our companies are in a state of disarray. I have to go to work."
Ji Lin frowned when he heard this. "Wanwan, how can you go to work in your current state? You need to rest well and adjust your mood. You can let others handle the company's affairs first."
Ji Wan shook his head slightly and looked out the window.
"Brother, my mind is in a mess right now. The only way I can feel better is to keep myself busy so I don't have time to think about those bad things. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and the children. I will go back to see you after the New Year."
Ji Wan smiled, his stubborn smile tinged with bitterness.
