Those who have weathered many storms can quickly regain their composure even after being shocked and stunned.
In a short while, he regained his composure and calm demeanor, and even stepped forward with a gentle smile, saying to Madam Xiao in a light tone: "It's just a leg injury. With proper treatment, it certainly won't be life-threatening. Don't cry anymore, let the doctor handle it."
He then said to the nurse beside him, "Give Qingwan a sedative injection."
The nurse quickly agreed. Xiao Qingwan was already in excruciating pain, and after the sedative was administered, she quickly fainted and was hurriedly carried away.
Madam Xiao was filled with unease, completely unsure of his attitude. How much had he heard? Did he believe the explanation she had made up on the spot? Did his calm demeanor mean the crisis had passed?
What should I do?
That good-for-nothing Qingwan, how could she shout that out in public? Didn't you see how strange the expressions on the faces of those around her turned? They must have all heard it. This is a huge problem now! Useless! Idiot! More trouble than she's worth!
No matter how furious she was cursing in her heart, Mr. Xiao waved his hand, and several bodyguards stepped forward and silently and forcefully "invited" Mrs. Xiao away from the scene.
Someone subtly touched the back of her neck, and she immediately felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
"Madam Xiao has fainted! Quick, get her in the car! Let's go to the hospital together!"
The butler, who was standing nearby, had already politely asked the people around to leave. They had watched such a grand spectacle and were eager to share their gossip. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly took their leave.
Mr. Xiao watched the crowd disperse in silence. Professor Lü finally realized what was happening, awkwardly took two steps forward, and tentatively asked, "Old Xiao?"
"You've made a fool of yourself in front of your old friend," Xiao's father said with a forced smile, shaking his head. Under Professor Lü's worried gaze, he sighed and slowly said, "Old friend, do me a favor."
"Tell me! I'll do whatever I can!"
“It’s actually very simple…” He pointed to Madam Xiao, and then pointed in the direction of Xiao Qingwan.
Professor Lü's expression became even stranger. His gaze seemed to be fixed on the honest, albeit seemingly innocent, man who was now being taken advantage of, but he said nothing out of a survival instinct, only nodding vigorously.
Don't worry, my friend, I'll expedite the DNA test and send it to you as soon as I get back!
Xiao's father was a very tough man.
His strength lay not only in the fact that after he believed that the daughter brought by Madam Xiao was his niece, no matter how many people said that the two looked too alike, he would not doubt their relationship.
However, once he becomes suspicious, he will tear through all obstacles and investigate everything thoroughly, regardless of anything else. He will also ruthlessly strip away all the wealth, status, and honor that he has generously given to others.
"Immediately take control of the family doctor, Noble, freeze all his bank accounts, and investigate his transaction records; seize all of the wife's assets and investigate everything she has done over the years—don't let a single detail slip by..."
After giving his confidant concise instructions and finishing most of the work, Xiao's father finally had time to turn around and give Xiao Lingchen a cold smile.
"Was it you?"
Xiao Lingchen held Bai Shu protectively in his arms and said calmly, "I don't understand what Father is talking about."
"Don't understand? You dare say that none of this has anything to do with you? You even dared to scheme against and exploit your own father!"
Xiao Lingchen said, "Father's words are quite malicious. How could I dare to do anything to you?"
Xiao's father sneered, but when he looked at Bai Shu, who seemed a little lost behind him, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and the anger on his face gradually dissipated. He waved his hand and ultimately said nothing more.
