Bai Qingci's mood was not as depressed as one might imagine.
After all, it's understandable that a woman would find it hard to accept having so many stitches in her abdomen, especially with the possibility of future scarring.
However, Chen Fan could tell that Bai Qingci was only complaining to him verbally. She wasn't actually that sad inside.
"Don't worry. I'll find the best experts to help you repair the scars, and I absolutely guarantee that you can still wear crop tops in the summer. Swimsuits are no problem either."
Bai Qingci suddenly glared at Chen Fan.
puff……
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Ugh... Don't you know that I just had surgery and can't laugh?"
Chen Fan quickly reminded him, "Yes, yes, don't move around. If you bend over and break the thread, that would be troublesome."
The two exchanged a glance, and Bai Qingci complained irritably.
"Every time I see you, I get really angry."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "By the way, I spoke with your sister on the phone. She'll be coming over tomorrow."
"Why don't you call her first to put her mind at ease?"
Bai Qingci thought for a moment, then reached for her phone.
"It should be in the private storage box. I'll ask for you tomorrow."
Chen Fan took out his phone. "Let me call from my phone first."
Bai Qingci took the phone, and Chen Fan stood up.
"You make the call first, I'll go check next door."
Chen Fan got up and left the ward, leaving the two sisters alone.
In the next ward, the injured bodyguard lay unconscious on the bed.
A teammate sitting next to him immediately stood up when he saw Chen Fan.
"Mr. Chen..."
"sit."
Chen Fan walked over and sat down.
"You two were on duty together at the time."
Yes, yes.
The bodyguard was somewhat frustrated. "Things happened too fast. Brother Li reacted faster than me. If I had been a little faster, I might have been able to take that shot for Brother Li."
Chen Fan raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder.
"Don't think like that. You're all great. I thank you on behalf of my wife."
"Mr. Chen..."
Chen Fan patted his shoulder, interrupting him.
"Remember to let me know when you wake up here."
After leaving the ward, Chen Fan went to the lounge for a look.
Su Ruochu was curled up in bed, fast asleep.
It was clear that she was exhausted from what had happened that day.
Chen Fan waited there for a while before getting up to go next door.
Bai Qingci had already finished her phone call. When Chen Fan entered, Bai Qingci was wiping away tears with her head down.
Why are you crying?
I miss my sister.
Chen Fan smiled and handed him a tissue.
"She'll be here tomorrow."
Bai Qingci lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty.
“I… my sister is so busy in the capital, shouldering the future of the entire Bai family, and I can’t help her at all. I feel so useless…”
Chen Fan shook his head.
"It would be bad if you thought that way."
"For your sister, the reason she has persisted is because of you."
"What was your condition a few years ago? When we first met, you were almost skin and bones."
"So for your sister, your health and safety throughout your life are more important than anything else."
Chen Fan walked over and looked at Bai Qingci with a smile.
"Besides, you're not completely useless. Everyone has seen your progress over the past two years."
"From a complete novice to a successful career woman, your progress is truly remarkable, I have to give you a thumbs up."
Bai Qingci blinked, tears still clinging to her long eyelashes.
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
Chen Fan nodded, "I asked the company's management, and everyone has a very positive opinion of you. It's not flattery, it's just that your progress is obvious to all, and everyone admires you."
Bai Qingci blushed and lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I asked the doctor. Apart from the deepest cut, the rest are just superficial wounds."
"However, you'll probably need to recuperate for a while after being discharged. The matter of 꺲눒 will have to be put on hold for the time being."
"What are your plans? Stay in Yunhai or return to the capital?"
Bai Qingci hesitated for a moment before looking up at Chen Fan.
"I...I want to go back to be with my sister, but she must be very busy in Beijing and probably won't be able to take care of me."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Then let's not go back for now."
"Okay, when you get discharged, hand over your 'Gye-woo' to her first. You can stay here and recover well. I and Ruochu will take care of you. When your sister has time, she can come and see you."
Bai Qingci nodded.
"I'll listen to you, Chen Fan..."
"What?"
“My sister said… said that the assassin was actually hired by the second branch of the Bai family.”
"Their target isn't just Ruochu, but me too... Is that true?"
Chen Fan comforted him, "There is no evidence yet, but I suspect it's related to the second branch of the Bai family."
Bai Qingci was somewhat disappointed.
Why?
"We're all family. They were the ones who turned bad first, so why are we still locked in a life-or-death struggle?"
Chen Fan sighed.
"You must understand that the most unpredictable thing in this world, even more so than ghosts and gods, is the human heart."
Bai Qingci sighed.
She wasn't unaware of these things; she just didn't want to think about them.
Her sister shielded her from all the dark, vicious, and filthy aspects of life, allowing her to be carefree and be herself.
Bai Qingci leaned against the pillow, staring at the ceiling, a tear rolling down her cheek.
I miss my sister.
Just as Chen Fan was about to open the door, there was a knock on the ward door.
"Enter."
The door opened, and Nanxing rushed in, looking somewhat flustered.
"Miss……"
The white celadon was somewhat unexpected.
Didn't we tell you to go home and visit your family?
Nanxing's eyes were red and swollen. "I rushed back as soon as I heard the news... Miss, are you alright?"
Bai Qingci shook his head.
"It's nothing. You haven't been back for so long, and we finally have a chance, how could you..."
Nanxing quickly said, "There will be opportunities to go home, I'm just worried about Miss's safety..."
Chen Fan stood up with a smile.
"Alright. You two can continue your conversation. I'm going next door."
Bai Qingci looked up: "Is Ruochu alright?"
"I was a little frightened, and I also felt a bit guilty."
Bai Qingci quickly said, "Tell her not to blame herself. If she were in that situation, I believe she would have saved me too."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Okay. You two can talk about it slowly when she wakes up tomorrow."
Chen Fan got up and left the ward, gently closing the door behind him.
In the corridor, Feng Pojun stood there. When he saw Chen Fan appear, he quickly walked over.
"Boss. We've got him."
Where?
“I told him to hold him in a safe place first.”
Chen Fan thought for a moment and then gave the order.
"Interrogate them overnight to find out if the mastermind behind this is the second branch of the Bai family."
"yes."
"Also, make him reveal clues about the second wife's family. If he wants to live, he should tell us where those guys are hiding."
"If he doesn't cooperate, just take care of him."
"yes."
Feng Pojun was just about to turn around to make arrangements when Chen Fan continued speaking.
"From now on, use all available resources to search for information on each branch of the Baek family's second house."
"I want them dead!"
