Chapter 1069: Mist
Li Zhenghan continued to answer doubtfully, "No, what's wrong, Mayor Yun? Is Qu Si related to this matter?"
But Yun Che didn't say anything. He only said, "Zhenghan, from now on, no matter what Qu Si asks you to do, don't agree to her, including anything."
The perceptive Li Zhenghan had already sensed the seriousness in Yun Che's words, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. He wanted to ask Yun Che what had happened, but he had a hunch that Yun Che wouldn't tell him directly, so he could only agree, "Okay, I understand, Mayor Yun. By the way, how is Hui'er? Is she okay?"
“The situation… isn’t very optimistic. We need to find the source of the poison as soon as possible.” Yun Che pondered.
Li Zhenghan's mood also became heavier. "If you need any help, please let me know. Also, please take care of yourself."
"Well, thank you!"
The call was hung up again. Li Zhenghan held the phone and continued to worry about Su Xiao's critical condition. At the same time, his thoughts returned to Qu Si.
Why did Yun Che suddenly come to him and say this?
Could it be that Qu Si is related to Lin Ran?
What does it matter?
Su Xiao, Qu Si, Lin Ran...
Did Yun Che suspect that Su Xiao's poisoning was related to Qu Si? Did Qu Si and Lin Ran conspire to harm Su Xiao?
This thought suddenly flashed through Li Zhenghan's mind.
Qu Si has always been hostile to Su Xiao and even did something to hurt her before, but now he is poisoning her. This is going to cause death. Qu Si shouldn't be so out of control and crazy!
Moreover, Qu Si also asked him to investigate Lin Ran's poisoning, which means that Qu Si didn't know about it, or at least he would not go along with Lin Ran.
"What are you doing? What did Brother Yun want to talk to you about?" Lin Xirou had been standing by his side the entire time. She couldn't hear Yun Che's words, only hearing a few words from Li Zhenghan. She was extremely puzzled. "Brother Yun wanted to ask you about Qu Si? What did he want to ask you about?"
Li Zhenghan looked at his wife's puzzled and anxious expression, and thought about the fact that Lin Xirou and Qu Si had always been at odds. He didn't plan to tell her the truth first, but instead found an excuse to get away with it.
Lin Xirou naturally did not expect that Qu Si would be so vicious as to collude with Lin Ran, and she was fully focused on Su Xiao's condition. In the end, Lin Zhenghan could not persuade her and had to agree with her.
"Then I'll book the tickets now. The two children are left to you. Please take good care of them!" Lin Xirou said as she ran out.
Back in S City, Yun Che was also lost in thought after finishing his phone call with Li Zhenghan.
He didn't expect that Qu Si would ask Li Zhenghan to investigate Lin Ran's poisoning.
Is this a coincidence? Or is it a trick of Qu Si?
Qu Si knew that he would look for Li Zhenghan, so she did this on purpose to dispel his suspicion of her?
It is not impossible for the clever Qu Si to have such a plan!
Yun Che always felt that Qu Si was related to this incident, so he made another phone call and asked someone to follow Qu Si.
After everything was arranged, he threw himself deeply into the chair, feeling exhausted and lonely.
In the evening, he left the municipal office and returned to the hospital.
Su Xiao's condition is slightly more stable and she was transferred to a special ward in the afternoon, which makes it easier for her family to take care of her.
Lan Qiuling had been guarding Su Xiao the entire time. When Yun Che walked in and saw this scene, he felt heavy-hearted and started apologizing to Lan Qiuling, "Mom, I'm sorry..."
Lan Qiuling raised her head and looked at him thoughtfully. Finally, she said calmly, "Don't say that. You didn't want this to happen. Although I'm angry, I don't blame you, and Hui'er won't let me blame you."
Yun Che didn't say much. He looked at Su Xiao and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"It's the same as always. The doctors from your father's hospital have arrived, but they don't have a direct solution for now. We still have to find the source. But they said Hui'er might wake up first. It all depends on her willpower."
Yun Che nodded and turned his gaze to his mother-in-law, "Mom, leave this to me. You go back and rest first. Come back tomorrow morning."
Lan Qiuling looked at his exhausted and haggard appearance and said worriedly, "Are you okay? I don't think you're well. You're so busy at work during the day, and if you keep watch at night like this, your body won't be able to handle it. Forget it, you go and rest. I'll watch over here. At worst, I can arrange a bed for you to sleep in."
Lan Qiuling, as an official's wife, is well aware of how much pressure Yun Che is under at work. Her husband often tells her that in order to achieve that goal, Yun Che is enduring a work intensity that ordinary people cannot bear. He asks her to pay more attention to the marriage and family situation of her son-in-law and daughter, saying that her daughter is the greatest motivation and support for her son-in-law to overcome everything. As long as her daughter is around, her son-in-law will be fine. Without her daughter, her son-in-law's future will be ruined.
But now his daughter had been in such an accident, her life was in danger, and her fate was uncertain. If she really couldn't survive, then Yun Che...
Lan Qiuling didn't dare to think any further. She felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away and said to Yun Che as if nothing had happened, "Well, Hui'er hasn't woken up yet. If you're tired, take some time to rest. I'll come over early tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom."
"It's not hard, not hard at all." Lan Qiuling looked at her daughter and left with sadness and heaviness.
The room returned to silence. Yun Che washed his hands and sat down in front of the bed. He stared at Su Xiao's pale and quiet face and suddenly smiled. "Girl, are you tired? You've been sleeping for so long and you're still sleeping. If Nini knew, she would definitely call you a lazy pig again."
Su Xiao, of course, wouldn't answer him, and Yun Che didn't care. He talked to her about many things, including the time they went to see the meteor shower a while ago. He grabbed Su Xiao's hand, his tone filled with affection and sadness, "Girl, you have to wake up soon. Let's go see the meteor shower again, and everything else. We'll do it one by one. I can't live without you. We agreed that when I leave first, you have to stay with me until the last moment. I can't even take care of myself anymore, and I need you to take care of me. You have to remember your words. You can't abandon me. You can't, understand, girl..."
Heart-wrenching tears filled Yun Che's eyes, and then fell drop by drop onto Su Xiao's wrist, which he was holding tightly.
The next day, Lan Qiuling came at six o'clock and saw Yun Che lying in front of the bed and sleeping like that.
Her heart ached, and she picked up a blanket and prepared to cover Yun Che with it.
But this woke Yun Che up.
Lan Qiuling blamed herself, "I should have been gentler..."
Yun Che shook his head, looked at his watch, and stood up while holding the blanket. "Mom, have you had breakfast?"
"We've already eaten. Do you plan to have the food delivered here, or go out to eat?"
"I'll go back to work and eat. Someone's coming down for inspection today, so I have to have a meeting first."
"Then go quickly and leave this to me." Lan Qiuling thought for a moment and said, "Ache, just focus on your work. We all understand and are deeply touched by your feelings for Hui'er. Hui'er knows it too. She will definitely wake up soon. We all need to have faith and hope in her."
Yun Che pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of light appeared in his dim eyes. He nodded and said, "Yes, she is stronger and more capable than we imagined. Moreover, she doesn't want any of us to worry or feel sad for her. We will wait patiently for her to return."
"Well, I'll let you know as soon as she wakes up."
"I'll leave this to you first. Thank you, Mom."
"You're welcome. Remember to eat breakfast. If you have any questions, just ask me on the phone."
Yun Che thanked her again, caressed Su Xiao again, and left.
Lan Qiuling continued to look after her daughter. At noon, an uninvited guest came to the ward.
"Chengze?" Lan Qiuling was stunned for a long moment before she called out, "You... returned to China?"
