"Waaah..."
After a whole day of trying to stay strong, Su Ruochu finally broke down completely after seeing Chen Fan.
She nestled in Chen Fan's arms and burst into tears.
Chen Fan gently patted Nai Nai's shoulder and whispered words of comfort.
"It's all my fault. I should have come back sooner."
Su Ruochu, her eyes welling up with tears, looked up and said, "Miss Bai, she..."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Don't worry. I already know."
"Since it has already happened, let's face it properly."
Everything will be alright.
After comforting Su Ruochu, Chen Fan turned his gaze to Bai Qingci, who was still unconscious on the bed.
Su Ruochu explained softly, "At the time, I was busy chatting with Miss Bai and Li Na, and I didn't notice the man walking towards us at all."
"He was on the phone, making a call, and there was absolutely no sign of danger."
"Miss Bai was the first to notice the danger, and she pushed me aside to shield me."
"The doctor said that luckily Miss Bai was wearing a down jacket with a sweater underneath, so apart from the initial deep stab wound, the rest were all superficial injuries..."
"Even so, Miss Bai was stabbed..."
As she said this, Su Ruochu almost cried again.
"Later, Miss Bai held onto her wrist tightly, which bought me and Li Na some time."
"Li Na even got slapped because of this, and then Du Juan came up and took a bullet for me."
"Then two more bodyguards, who were hiding in the shadows, rushed up to take a bullet for me..."
Su Ruochu choked up a little.
"That gun got away, and Manager Feng is leading a team to track it down."
Su Ruochu gently pulled Chen Fan up.
“You don’t blame them for not noticing the danger beforehand, it’s because… it’s because I told them not to get too close when they’re on their way to work.”
"Because Li Na and I walked to eat, Du Juan drove slowly behind us... Nobody expected this to happen."
Su Ruochu explained in a low voice, afraid that Chen Fan would take his anger out on the bodyguards.
Chen Fan didn't say anything. He sat on the edge of the bed, lifted the blanket, and looked at Bai Qingci's abdomen, which was wrapped up after the surgery.
"Sigh, I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky."
"No matter what, it's good to save one's life."
Su Ruochu whispered, "The bodyguard in the next room... he's seriously injured. The doctor said if he doesn't wake up, it'll be a matter of time tonight..."
Chen Fan nodded and gently patted Kim's back.
"I see."
After saying that, he pulled Su Ruochu out of the ward.
Du Juan and Li Na were standing in the corridor.
"Mr. Chen, I...I'm very sorry. It was my negligence."
Du Juan looked ashamed and took the initiative to admit her mistake.
Chen Fan shook his head.
"It's not your fault. You did a very good job."
"Dujuan, you should go and rest. You've had a hard day."
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Ruochu.
"Li Na told me you haven't had anything to eat all day. That won't do."
Su Ruochu shook her head, "I...can't eat."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I just flew back and didn't have time to eat anything. Have something with me."
Hearing this, Su Ruochu did not refuse.
The two of them went together to a lounge next door.
Li Na brought over the lunchbox she had packed earlier.
"The food's all cold. Shall I go out and buy you a fresh one?"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"I guess so. Most restaurants should be closing by now."
"Just eat whatever you like."
He opened a boxed lunch and pushed it in front of Su Ruochu.
"Braised eggplant and scrambled eggs with tomatoes over rice, do you like this?"
After saying that, he took two more bowls from the side and used a bowl to give himself half.
Pick up the thermos and pour some water into the bowl, then stir it casually.
Upon seeing this, Li Na couldn't help but frown.
Do you still want to eat this?
"No, let me go out and buy you some."
Chen Fan shook his head. "It's alright. It's fine like this."
After saying that, he took a large bowl, poured in hot water, put the remaining lunchbox in, and rinsed it with hot water for Su Ruochu to eat later.
After doing all this, Chen Fan pulled up a chair, sat down, picked up his bowl of rice, and began to wolf it down.
Su Ruochu looked at Chen Fan quietly, her emotions gradually stabilizing.
"Xiao Shuai and the others came back together?"
"Yes. They wanted to come together, but I didn't agree. I told them to go home and rest first."
"Yes. Su Qing knows too. She'll probably call you later. Tell her you're safe."
Just then, Su Ruochu's phone rang. It was Su Qing calling.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "You can answer it. Tell them I've arrived safely."
Su Ruochu then picked up her phone, got up, and walked to the side to answer the call.
Chen Fan wolfed down a couple of bites of food, then looked up at Li Na.
Tell me in detail what happened this afternoon.
Li Na nodded and began to explain in detail to Chen Fan, starting from the time she got off work at noon.
Li Na gave a detailed account of the assassination process, especially the details of how it occurred.
After hearing this, Chen Fan felt a pang of fear.
I was really lucky today.
If it weren't for Bai Qingci, Li Na, Du Juan, and those two bodyguards desperately protecting her, Su Ruochu might really be in danger.
After Li Na finished speaking, Chen Fan nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
"Hasn't that gun been found yet?"
Li Na nodded. "Manager Feng is leading the arrest team."
Chen Fan looked up and saw Li Na's swollen face, and smiled slightly.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Li Na was taken aback, then touched her cheek awkwardly.
"No...it's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"Thank you."
"What are you saying? Su Ruochu and I are like sisters. I believe that once she recovers, she will do the same for me."
Chen Fan nodded, and just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.
"Enter!"
The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Feng Pojun entered.
Upon entering the room, Feng Pojun looked at Chen Fan with a face full of guilt and self-reproach.
"Boss, I... neglected my duty. I'm willing to accept the punishment."
Just as Chen Fan opened his mouth, Su Ruochu, who had already finished her phone call, quickly came over and said something.
"Manager Feng, this really isn't your fault. I told them not to follow up too closely."
Chen Fan also spoke up, saying, "Okay. This has nothing to do with you. Don't put so much pressure on yourself all the time."
It is said that Chen Fan of the group has several confidants, and among the people he trusts the most, Feng Pojun is definitely one of them.
Therefore, he has always unconditionally trusted Feng Pojun.
It was this trust that made Feng Pojun feel even more guilty.
A while ago, there was an incident where a mole appeared within the Dark Guard.
Now, another assassination attempt has occurred targeting the landlady.
Although the guards risked their lives to protect the landlady, the whole process was extremely dangerous.
If bodyguards are always by your side, there is a good chance they will detect danger in advance.
Before Feng Pojun could speak, Chen Fan asked directly.
"How's that brother doing?"
Feng Pojun quickly said, "The bullet pierced his chest. He almost lost his life."
"Fortunately, I survived thanks to the magic, but... it might affect my actions in the future."
Chen Fan nodded and said slowly.
“I’m already grateful that I’m still alive.”
"Heal his injuries first. If he stays in the team after he recovers, promote him to captain."
"If he really can't stay in the bodyguard position because of his injury, then we'll give him a pension according to the rules and transfer him to the club's security department as a manager."
Feng Pojun nodded quickly.
"yes."
