Outside the hospital emergency room.
Yun Ranran paced back and forth in the corridor in a panic. When she saw the doctor coming out, she hurried over and asked, "Doctor, how is my father in there now?"
The doctor stopped in his tracks when she pulled him over, then turned to explain, "The patient is basically out of danger. He'll be hospitalized for observation for a while. There's nothing wrong, and he'll wake up soon."
"Thank you, doctor. Sorry for bothering you." Yun Ranran bent down to express her gratitude, with a hint of tears in her voice.
Seeing that she was still young and was standing alone outside the operating room at night, the doctor felt a little sympathetic and said gently, "Little girl, your father will be transferred to the nursing room when he comes out. You can ask the nurse for a blanket and wait inside."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Yun Ranran tried her best to suppress her emotions and thanked him politely.
The doctor sighed, nodded slightly, and turned to leave. After a while, the door of the operating room was opened, and several nurses pushed Yun's father, who was wrapped in gauze, out to the nursing room.
Seeing this, Yun Ranran hurriedly followed. On the ambulance, Yun's father's face was covered with bruises and his head was wrapped in layers of gauze. It looked like he was seriously injured.
After the nurse left, only the father and daughter were left in the room.
The machine in the nursing room made regular "beep! beep! beep!" sounds. Yun Ranran pursed her lips and carefully covered her father with the blanket she took from the nurse.
Then, she sat down and looked at the unconscious Father Yun, tears streaming down her face, unable to be suppressed any longer.
Yun Ranran is just an ordinary little girl after all. Her mother is sick and her father has an accident. No matter how sensible and smart she is, she will still feel a little panicked and at a loss.
Tian Miaomiao sensed Yun Ranran's out-of-control emotions and patiently waited for her to cry freely and vent her emotions. Then she began to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Ranran. Everything will be fine."
"Yeah, I know." Yun Ranran nodded while sobbing.
Seeing that Yun Ranran was still calm, Tian Miaomiao began to analyze the situation for her: "Ranran, the most urgent thing right now is to go to the police to find out the details and understand the whole story clearly."
"Now?" Yun Ranran pursed her lips.
"Well, now." Tian Miaomiao said to her in a firm tone: "When I first came, I noticed some people talking about the police going to the scene. The incident happened not long ago. Your father was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The police should have investigated the matter thoroughly."
Yun Ranran heard her analysis of these words, choked up and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. Then she looked at her father who was still sleeping on the bed and said, "Dad, I'm going to find out what happened right now. I will make sure whoever hit you pay the price."
After saying this, she no longer lingered and turned around and left the nursing room.
…
On the other side, Zhou Gang and his two companions called Jian Yanwan not long after they beat the man up.
"Hey, Miss Jane, my brothers and I have already done what you asked."
Jian Yanwan smiled when she heard the news. She played with a lock of her newly dyed flaxen curly hair with her fingers and said lazily, "Well, the money will be deposited into your account soon. Be careful not to get into any trouble these two days, okay?"
"Don't worry, Miss Jian. I, Old Zhou, am very reliable and there will definitely be no problems."
Zhou Gang assured with a smile, his tone full of respect and caution.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yanwan nodded lightly into the phone, then hung up the call, transferred some money to Zhou Gang, and threw the phone aside.
She now knew that Yun Ranran had learned her lesson and her anger had subsided. She didn't take this little matter to heart any longer and instead began to concentrate on thinking about how to continue to conquer Jiang Yan.
Thinking that the birthday party of the old man of the Jiang family would be held soon, and that Jiang Yan valued this grandfather very much, Jian Yanwan suddenly had an idea.
"Jiang Yan, you can't escape from my palm."
She thought over the whole plan in her mind, and after confirming that there was no problem, a determined smile appeared on her face.
At this time in the police station, Yun Ranran found the policeman who was taking the statement and understood the whole story.
There was an untouched glass of boiled water on the table next to her. She clenched her fists on the table and said in disbelief, "Are you saying that this might be someone deliberately looking for trouble?"
The middle-aged police officer in uniform nodded and explained to her, "Based on the statements of the store clerk and customers at the scene, as well as the store's surveillance footage, we've analyzed it. It's very likely that the group had a clear purpose from the beginning."
"The security camera at the entrance captured them stopping at the door to confirm the sign before going in. The store's security camera also clearly captured one of them carefully putting insects into the dish."
"Later, based on the store clerk's recollection, it seemed those people weren't asking for money, but rather were waiting for the victim to come out."
The police officer was afraid that Yun Ranran might not understand, so he showed her the surveillance footage.
In the video, after the bug was first discovered, the clerk went over to negotiate with several men. The two sides negotiated for a while and the noise was so loud that the diners around were gradually attracted to look over.
After Yun's father left, the man started fighting without saying a word.
Yun Ranran looked at the men and took note of their appearances. She pursed her lips and choked out, "Comrade police, have these men been apprehended?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged policeman shook his head apologetically and said, "Little girl, these people must be veterans in this kind of thing. They ran away overnight after the incident. We are also stepping up our investigation. We will inform you as soon as we have any news."
Yun Ranran forced a smile and nodded: "Thank you for your help then."
"It's okay. This is what we should do. We will definitely catch the guy later." The policeman comforted her with a smile.
After saying that, Yun Ranran nodded lightly and was about to turn around and leave, but Tian Miaomiao reminded her at this time: "Ranran, don't leave yet."
Yun Ranran paused and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Get a copy of the photos of those men before you leave."
There was no need to overthink the tacit understanding between the two. Yun Ranran agreed without asking her why: "Okay."
The middle-aged policeman saw Yun Ranran turned around as if she remembered something, walked a few steps, and then came back. He smiled and said, "Little girl, what's wrong? Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Yun Ranran nodded and said, "Uncle Police, can I have a few photos of those men?"
"Okay, wait a minute."
After a while, Yun Ranran walked out of the police station with an envelope containing a photo.
It was late at night and there were few people on the road. Yun Ranran strode away with the envelope, blending into the night with an indomitable momentum.
