Xie Xihe originally didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Zhong family. He only reminded them because of the two golden lights between the eyebrows of the head of the Zhong family and Zhong Yuxiu.
But now, she changed her mind.
As for why, well, it's simply because I can't stand Luo Ruiyang and want to cause some trouble for him.
She tapped the table with her fingertips and said, "The third branch road leading into the Zhong family's main road. Patriarch Zhong can send someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from between 1:15 and 1:20 PM on March 16th."
This time... this place...
Luo Ruiyang suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock that he tried hard to suppress but couldn't.
He looked at Xie Xihe in disbelief.
How could...how could she know?!
Zhong Miao, who was sitting near the door, was just as incredulous as he was, and he clenched his fists almost subconsciously.
I almost wanted to go up and talk.
But just as he took a step, a hand stretched out from the side gently tugged at his sleeve. When he turned around, he met the young man's warning gaze.
Zhong Miao came to his senses in an instant and broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhong Siyuan gave him a reassuring look and took a step forward. He looked at the Zhong family head and reminded him in a steady voice, "Head, although the area Miss Xie mentioned is very close to the Zhong family, it is under the jurisdiction of the police. Without a legitimate reason, the police will probably not agree to let us access the surveillance footage."
The Zhong family head had just thought of this question. After a brief thought, he looked back at Zhong Siyuan and ordered, "Take the Zhong steward and go there in person to turn over the surveillance."
Zhong Siyuan nodded calmly: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
But before he could get far, he was stopped by another voice.
It was Bai Chengxuan, Zhong Yuxiu's cousin, who said, "Uncle, the newly appointed deputy chief of the Western Suburbs Police Station has some connections with the Bai family. Leave this matter to me."
He smiled and reminded, "After all, the Zhong family just had an incident of spreading rumors, and you haven't investigated the situation clearly yet. At this time, the people of the Zhong family should try to stay away from them, otherwise if something unexpected happens, you won't be able to explain it."
Zhong Siyuan's expression darkened instantly. He turned to look at Bai Chengxuan and asked, "What does this mean, Young Master Bai? Are you suggesting that I will do something secretly?"
Bai Chengxuan smiled lightly: "Mr. Zhong, your words are too serious. I am just discussing the matter at hand. I don't mean to target anyone."
Zhong Siyuan frowned, turned his head and looked at the Zhong family head, and said in a deep voice: "Head, although Young Master Bai is the eldest lady's cousin and it is natural for him to care about her, this matter is our Zhong family's family affair. It is inappropriate to let the Bai family get involved, right?"
His eyes carried a hint of reminder: "After all, family disgrace should not be made public."
Bai Chengxuan: "I don't have any objection to Master Zhong talking about the family scandal, but the word 'outside' is worth considering."
Slightly narrowing his eyes, he emphasized his tone and said, "It's true that Young Master Zhong's surname is Zhong, but he is, after all, a branch that branched out. Even if his relationship is slightly closer to other branches, it can't be closer than that of my cousin, right?"
The smile on his lips deepened, and he said, "The adoption wasn't successful after all, was it?"
Zhong Siyuan's calm expression finally changed, and his teeth clenched slightly: "Bai Chengxuan, are you trying to sow discord?"
Bai Chengxuan: "Just stating a fact."
Although both of them looked relatively calm, there was already a hint of conflict between their words, which gave the head of the Zhong family a headache.
But he finally reacted, thought about it, and said, "It's just a surveillance video. Just let Butler Zhong go. The police won't give the Zhong family such a small favor."
"If all else fails, just say there's a thief in the Zhong family and you want to report it. That way you'll have a legitimate reason."
Zhong Siyuan frowned: "Master."
Patriarch Zhong was getting impatient and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, that's enough. Didn't you see Yuxiu is still resting? Everyone, be quiet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xihe, who had been watching the show quietly, suddenly opened his eyes and slowly uttered two words: "Awake."
Who is awake?
This question flashed through everyone's mind subconsciously, but they suddenly reacted the next moment and were immediately shocked.
The head of the Zhong family didn't have time to care about whether there was surveillance or the police. He rushed forward and squatted beside the bed.
A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at the girl on the bed without blinking, his nervousness was evident.
Fortunately, he finally waited this time.
The girl on the bed first had her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was adapting to the light. She squinted her eyes and looked forward, waiting for a few minutes before completely opening her eyes.
A pair of standard almond-shaped eyes with beautiful and distinct brown pupils, but there was no trace of the confusion that comes from finally waking up after being in a coma for many days.
She glanced over, first gave the Zhong family head a faint smile, and called out, "Dad."
It was her usual thin and soft voice, but with a hint of dryness and hoarseness. It was not pleasant to the ear, but it made the head of the Zhong family tear up in an instant.
"Dad is here, Dad is here, Nannan, please stop talking and have a good rest first. When you are refreshed, we can talk slowly together."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled slightly.
But he did not close his eyes and rest as she said, but continued to look into the house.
His sight swept across Old Master Bai, Bai Chengxuan, Zhong Miao, Luo Ruiyang... and finally landed on one place.
That is the direction of Xie Xihe and Old Man Xie.
To be more precise, her gaze fell on Xie Xihe, and her eyes shook slightly.
She looked at Xie Xihe for a long time, so long that Patriarch Zhong couldn't help but introduce her, "This is Mr. Xie's daughter, Xie Xihe. She was the one who saved you."
Zhong Yuxiu's lips curved into a shallow dimple, and she said softly, "I heard everything."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards the Zhong family head and said, "Dad, can you help me over? I want to thank Miss Xie."
Xie Xihe's expression, which had been calm until now, froze, and a slight wrinkle appeared between his brows.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked forward, reminding her, "You've only just woken up, but your vitality is still very weak. Try to get more rest."
Zhong Yuxiu's smile deepened, and even her almond-shaped eyes curved up. She was quite obedient and said, "Okay."
But his eyes were still fixed on Xie Xihe without blinking.
If they were not both girls, and if her eyes were not so clear and penetrating, Xie Xihe would have thought that she had fallen in love with him at first sight.
It's very weird.
Not to mention her, even the head of the Zhong family saw his daughter's abnormal behavior for the first time. He couldn't help but raised his hand and touched her forehead lightly, saying worriedly: "Miss Xie, why don't you take another look at her? Is she confused?"
Zhong Yuxiu: “…”
She was very sober, okay? She had never been so sober before.
She was just happy.
Happy... maybe she won't have to die after all.
