Just as Chen Fan was about to go to Bai Qingci's ward, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
It was as if he had thought of something.
It seems the family forgot to inform Bai Ruoxue.
After glancing at the time, Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and went to the stairwell at the end of the corridor.
He found Bai Ruoxue's phone number and called her.
The phone rang a few times before being answered quickly.
Bai Ruoxue indeed did not rest during this time.
"Hello."
Bai Ruoxue was clearly a little surprised that Chen Fan was calling at this time.
Why are you calling at this time?
Chen Fan pondered for a moment and said, "There's something... I need to inform you."
"you say."
Bai Ruoxue said with a smile, "I've been so busy lately. I'm overwhelmed with all the work... By the way, aren't you in the US? When are you coming back?"
“I have already returned to my country.”
"ah?"
Bai Ruoxue was clearly somewhat pleased.
"Didn't you say on the phone earlier that you were going to spend some time in the US? By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Your sister, Bai Qingci, she..."
"He's injured."
Bai Ruoxu's laughter suddenly stopped on the other end of the phone.
"What did you say?"
Chen Fan sighed, "My wife was assassinated at noon yesterday. Qingci happened to be with her at the time."
"Your sister was stabbed while protecting your wife..."
Suddenly, there was the sound of documents falling to the ground on the other end of the phone.
Bai Qingci's tone became urgent.
"What exactly happened? How serious are the injuries? Is Qingci alright?"
"Don't worry. The surgery is over, and the doctor said there's nothing to worry about, just that I'll need to recuperate for a while."
Then Chen Fan briefly recounted the situation at the time.
Bai Ruoxue immediately replied, "Let's fly to the sea of clouds right away."
Chen Fan: "No need to rush. There are guards at the hospital. Just come back tomorrow when it gets light."
Bai Ruoxue suddenly made a firm decision.
"The motive for the murder was clear, and the perpetrator was armed... It must have been done by someone from the second branch of the Bai family."
"They hate you. They hate you like this."
"So your wife is their target for revenge, just like Qingci."
Chen Fan sighed.
"You think Bai Yaowu was behind this?"
"It's definitely him."
Bai Ruoxue gritted her teeth.
“I know him too well. This time, pulling him down from the position of head of the family, he absolutely hates me. And in his eyes, you were involved in all of this, so he hates you to the core…”
Bai Ruoxue sounded somewhat guilty.
"I'm sorry. I've dragged you into this."
Chen Fan then asked, "Is there any news about Bai Yaowu?"
Bai Ruoxue shook her head.
"No. The second branch of the family ran away before the board meeting. Bai Yaowu seemed to have anticipated his failure this time, so he ran away with the money."
“There were rumors that he had gone abroad, but the people from the second wife’s side were keeping an eye on him. At the time, it was clear that only his family members were at the airport, and Bai Yaowu himself did not show up.”
“I suspect Bai Yaowu is still in China.”
"Chen Fan, don't worry. I will definitely find him."
Chen Fan smiled, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"No need. You can do it yourself."
Bai Ruoxue: "I'm sorry. I've dragged you into this again."
"Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Come fly over tomorrow. Your sister will be here with you. Keep in touch."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan stood there in silence for a long time before finally calling Uncle He at the pawnshop.
"Uncle He, we have information that Bai Yaowu has not left the country. Send messages to everyone in the pawnshop and find out where Bai Yaowu is hiding as quickly as possible."
"Yes," Uncle He answered readily, "I'll do it right away."
Just as Chen Fan was about to hang up, Uncle He hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Boss, the second young lady of the Dong family, her injuries..."
Chen Fan was not surprised that Uncle He knew Bai Qingci was injured.
So 껩 didn't hide anything, but told the truth.
"The surgery is over. The doctor said there's nothing to worry about, but I'll need to recuperate for a while."
"That's good... I'll do what the boss asked me to do right away."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan put away his phone and went to Bai Qingci's hospital room alone.
Push open the door and enter the house.
Chen Fan stood in front of the hospital bed, looking at Bai Qingci lying on it.
She lay there like a fairy, her face somewhat pale, but it couldn't hide the exquisite and perfect temperament on her white porcelain face.
Just as Chen Fan was about to sit down, Bai Qingci, who was lying on the bed, moved her eyes and slowly opened them.
Chen Fan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately went over.
"You're awake?"
Bai Qingci seemed a little confused and didn't react immediately.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, stared intently at Chen Fan for a long while, and then murmured uncertainly.
"Chen...Chen Fan?"
"Yes." Chen Fan nodded. "How are you feeling? Does the wound still hurt?"
Bai Qingci didn't answer the question, but instead asked with some surprise.
"You... what are you doing here? Didn't you go to America?"
Chen Fan smiled wryly, "Of course I rushed back in time when something like this happened."
Bai Qingci frowned and struggled as if trying to sit up.
"Don't move. Don't move! Lie down."
Chen Fan quickly stepped forward and pressed down on Bai Qingci's shoulder. Bai Qingci shook her head.
“I’m fine, I…I want to sit up.”
"Then don't move. Come here!"
As he spoke, Chen Fan pressed the white porcelain back down, got up, went around to the foot of the bed, and started cranking the bed switch.
"Your wound has just been stitched up, so you can't move around too much."
"How's this height?"
"Almost...almost there."
Chen Fan then stopped what he was doing, walked over, picked up a pillow, gently put his arms around Bai Qingci's neck, lifted her up, and placed the pillow behind her.
Bai Qingci lowered her head, her bangs hanging down naturally, making her expression unreadable.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Fan noticed that Bai Qingci's expression was off, so he quickly asked her with concern.
After a moment of silence, Bai Qingci pouted with a wronged expression and said, "I have so many scars on my stomach, they look awful..."
Chen Fan: "..."
"Sister, what's going on here? You're still paying attention to this?"
Bai Qingci immediately looked up and glared at Chen Fan.
"Who are you calling Sister Ge?"
Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated. "You're already thankful you survived."
"The doctor said that if you wear a down jacket and thick clothes all the time, your life would really be in danger."
Bai Qingci kept her head down and remained silent.
Chen Fan sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"No matter what, I still want to say thank you."
"Thank you for saving Ruochu. I owe you a huge favor. But..."
Bai Qingci turned her head to look at Chen Fan, who had a serious expression on his face.
"However, I still want to say this: in the future, you should pay attention to your personal safety and never act impulsively like this time."
“Even though you saved my wife, I still want to say that I really don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Bai Qingci looked away and pouted.
"I can't wear crop tops anymore."
