Song Xingyao sat in the ward for a whole day and night, ignoring even when Fu Xun came up to her.
Seeing her distress, Jiang Man went over to persuade her to eat something, but seeing her red eyes and hoarse voice, she couldn't say anything to comfort her and instead held her hand and shed tears.
Song Xingyao never expected that the man who said he would come to pick her up and take her home that night would turn out like this.
It wasn't until the police came to the hospital to ask Song Xingyao to give her statement about the fire at the Fu residence that day that she finally mustered the strength.
Because of the special accelerant found at the scene, the original fire incident was transformed into an arson case, and the police intervened in the investigation.
"Ms. Song, may I ask how you discovered the fire that day?"
She looked up at the police officer in front of her. "I was about to go out when I found that both the front door and the elevator in the underground parking garage were locked. Then I saw foul-smelling black smoke coming through the crack in the door."
The police did not interrupt her recollection.
Song Xingyao frowned, trying hard to recall what she had seen before she lost consciousness that day.
Fu Quan stood beside her, and when he heard her talk about being locked in the house, a look of guilt appeared on his face.
“I ran up to the room and looked out the window. I saw that the trees and grass in the garden were on fire. I started calling for help, but it was too chaotic outside and no one heard me. Later, the fire got bigger, so I smashed the window. But then even more thick smoke rushed in, so I had to hide in the bathroom.”
Song Xingyao tried her best to remain calm and recall more details of what had happened.
It seemed that if she closed her eyes, she could see the thick smoke in front of her making it hard for her to breathe.
Her face was contorted in pain. Fu Quan put his arm around her back and said, "I'm sorry, officer, my daughter has just gone through something like this. Please let her rest for a while."
He then shook her body to bring her back to her senses, "Yao Yao, Yao Yao!"
Song Xingyao opened her eyes, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and said anxiously, "I saw... I saw someone standing by the wall below my window..."
"By the wall? Someone's there? Did you see what he looked like?" The policeman quickly noted down the important clue she gave.
"No, the smoke was too thick, I couldn't see clearly."
"Ms. Song, is there anything else you can think of?" the police officer asked routinely.
She shook her head.
Fu Quan saw the police off.
Song Xingyao had a vague feeling that this matter was related to Sun Jiming, but that man was too cunning. Even if she told the policeman in front of her, he would probably think she was crazy.
How could Minister Sun, a man of such stature, do such a thing?
But besides him, Song Xingyao couldn't think of anyone else.
Because Fu Siming protected her in the fire, Song Xingyao was discharged from the hospital after only a few days.
The news of Fu Siming's coma and accident has thrown Tiansheng into chaos for the past few days.
In addition, on the same day Fu Siming was admitted to the hospital, news broke that Tiansheng had won the bid for the international exchange zone.
Conspiracy theorists have begun to construct another bloody story in Jiangcheng's business world.
Jiang Man didn't want her to stay in the hospital any longer, so she refused to let her stay there and found a way to bring her back to the old house.
The Fu family home became the scene of an accident and was temporarily uninhabitable, so Fu Quan allowed her to stay at the Fu family home for the time being.
At least she has her child with her, so she's less likely to overthink things.
But Song Xingyao would go to the hospital whenever she had free time.
Jiang Man had no choice but to stay with them and move back to Haiyan.
She hadn't been back here for a long time, and all the furnishings seemed exactly the same as when the two of them had their falling out and separated.
Sun Jiming has been frequently going in and out of the police station these past few days because of the villa incident in the western suburbs, but he has been released each time due to insufficient evidence.
As soon as he came out, the chairman of the election commission called his cell phone.
He answered respectfully and politely, "Chairman."
The voice on the other end didn't sound very happy, but it didn't seem to be angry.
"I heard about what happened at the police station."
After saying that, he didn't speak again or wait for Sun Jiming to explain.
"Don't worry, Chairman, I've handled everything here. There's no evidence to implicate me."
"Can't you just give me a break? This bidding process went well; the higher-ups are already preparing the announcement."
"Yes, yes... Thank you, Chairman."
After hanging up the phone, even though he had just come out of the police station, he showed no sign of gloom.
Since the chairman has said so, it seems the matter is settled.
Feeling completely refreshed, he figured he could easily clear himself of the rest of the mess, as long as the people inside could take the blame.
At the hospital, Ye Si had just come out of Fu Siming's ward when he saw Song Xingyao bringing Fu Xunzhi to the hospital again.
But Fu Siming still showed no signs of waking up, and it couldn't continue like this.
He stepped forward to meet him.
Song Xingyao spoke first, "Ye Si, is he about to wake up?"
"..." Yes neither nodded nor shook his head. "This can't go on forever. A-Ming won't wake up anytime soon. You can't bring Xun-Zhi here every day, can you? He doesn't want to see you like this either!"
Song Xingyao forced a smile. "I actually hope he's looking at me."
Fu Xunzhi followed the adult's voice and looked toward Fu Siming's ward.
Ye Si called out her name, controlling his volume, "Song Xingyao!"
Seeing that Ye Si was also unusually resolute, Song Xingyao looked up past his gaze and looked at the man on the hospital bed whose body was covered with tubes.
"I understand, I won't do that. Just let me see him one more time. I can't go in to see him, I just want to see him from afar that he's still alive."
"you……"
Knowing he couldn't stop her, Yes could only let her press herself against the window of the special care unit, staring at the man inside.
