Chapter 343 Unconscious
Upon hearing this, Nan'an's gaze darkened slightly, and he hesitated, unable to make a decision for a long time.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "Of course, the choice is in your hands. If you want to protect them and give up the century-old foundation of the Nan Group, that's not impossible."
Jiang Ran outwardly respected his decision, but inwardly she added an inexplicable pressure to him.
Upon hearing this, Nan'an's expression suddenly darkened, and he had already made up his mind.
He absolutely cannot let the Nan Group be ruined in his hands!
His eyes sharpened, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay, I'll get on it right away."
"But are you sure this will solve the Nan Group's problems?"
“That’s right,” Jiang Ran replied softly.
Nan'an had no further doubts, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Actually, he had already believed in Jiang Ran's abilities when she told him the whole secret. Asking her again was just to get her to admit it herself and put his mind at ease.
Soon, the Nan family's scandal was reported on major entertainment headlines and spread throughout the upper-class circles, becoming the talk of the town.
The sole heir of the Nan family turned himself in and confessed to committing several murders.
The culprit who recently beat someone to death in the street is actually the daughter of the president of the Nan Group?!
In an instant, the Nan family was thrust into the eye of the storm.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Ran was curious about how Nan An had persuaded the two to commit crimes and bring them to justice, while at the same time she began to defy fate.
The Nan family's situation was too dire, so this was the only way to change their ruined fortune and ensure the well-being of their entire family.
According to the established plan, Jiang Ran waited until the time was right, the place was right, and the people were right before she began to form hand seals and draw talismans with her blood to implement her plan.
Defying fate and altering destiny is extremely taxing. She had only just reached the initial stage of the Celestial Master realm, and forcibly using it would inevitably backfire.
She offered up her lifespan and merits, but she still couldn't withstand the divine punishment. After the deed was done, her spiritual energy was severely depleted, and she fell into a coma.
Si Yanxiao was completely unaware of the cooperation she had reached with Nan'an. Since the two had talked things out, their relationship had improved significantly.
That day, Si Yanxiao returned to the villa as usual, but Jiang Ran was nowhere to be seen. Curious, he asked directly, "Where is Madam?"
The butler was taken aback upon hearing this, having never heard Si Yanxiao address Jiang Ran in such a way before, but only for a moment before returning to normal.
He replied in a low voice, "Madam went back to her room this evening and hasn't come out since."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's face flashed with surprise, and he then walked straight towards the room.
The butler followed closely behind, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion as he looked at Si Yanxiao.
Si Yanxiao gently knocked twice on the door with his fingers, but there was no response from inside.
He turned to look at the butler, raising a question mark between his brows.
Seeing this, the butler quickly explained, "Madam has indeed not come out."
Seeing the certainty in his tone, Si Yanxiao had a bad feeling. He frowned and pushed the door open from the outside. What came into view was Jiang Ran lying slumped on the ground.
Seeing this, Si Yanxiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly took three steps in two, his face full of panic: "Jiang Ran, what's wrong with you!"
Jiang Ran let her arms hang down as if she hadn't heard his calls.
The butler, upon witnessing this scene, froze on the spot and immediately said, "I'll go fetch a doctor right away!"
With that, he quickly turned and walked out.
Si Yanxiao was surprised and flustered when Jiang Ran suddenly fell into a coma.
Without waiting for the family doctor to arrive, he picked Jiang Ran up by the waist and took her to the hospital.
Si Yanxiao arrived in a hurry. Upon receiving the news, the hospital's top leaders and executives rushed over, and the chief physicians also flocked into the emergency room. When they came out, they all had their heads down and their faces showed some confusion.
Seeing their listless expressions and the occasional shaking of their heads, Si Yanxiao panicked and quickly stepped forward to ask, "How is the situation inside?"
The leader looked troubled, and after pondering for a long time, he whispered, "Mr. Si, please don't panic. Madam's symptoms are a bit unusual. She seems to be in a deep sleep, but she can't be woken up. It's not like she's unconscious, but there's no external force causing it, and her physical examination is all normal..."
Si Yanxiao listened to his explanation, his eyes flickering slightly. They were unfamiliar with this situation, but he was completely familiar with it, because this was exactly the kind of symptom that even the experts at the Provincial People's Hospital were helpless with. However, thanks to Jiang Ran's treatment, he and Si Jiliang had both woken up successfully.
He frowned slightly, knowing that staying at the hospital would be pointless, and with a cold look in his eyes, he took the person back.
Gu Nan rushed over upon receiving the news and saw Si Yanxiao standing guard by Jiang Ran's bedside, a look of shock flashing across his face.
After Si Yanxiao explained, they immediately understood, but they themselves did not know the inside story of Jiang Ran's diagnosis. In the end, the two looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
"Where are Ah Chen and Ah Lin?" Gu Nan glanced around, not seeing the twins, and asked in confusion.
“I asked the old man to keep them here. Jiang Ran’s current condition will only increase their worries.”
"Hmm." Gu Nan responded softly, then looked down at Jiang Ran and sighed helplessly.
Just when things were starting to get a little more stable, this happened again? Thinking of this, Gu Nan's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Ayan, could this be related to the person behind it all?!"
"After all, the previous times you encountered similar situations, it was because that person secretly sabotaged you."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face.
Then, his gaze sharpened slightly, a sinister glint flashing between his brows, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is there still no clue as to who is behind this?"
Gu Nan listened and nodded slightly, then replied, "The other side is too cautious. They didn't leave any clues. Even if there were some scattered clues, they had already been dealt with by the time we investigated."
As Si Yanxiao listened to Gu Nan's account, his gaze darkened slightly, and a cold glint flashed across his face.
From our multiple interactions, it's clear that the person behind the scenes is an extremely cautious individual; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to handle things flawlessly every time, leaving no trace of wrongdoing.
They didn't even know what kind of circle it was, and it was obvious that there were people like Jiang Ran among them.
That's precisely why they always find it hard to defend against.
Now that even Jiang Ran, the only one proficient in metaphysics, has fallen, if the person behind the scenes were to resort to underhanded tricks at this time, they would be completely unable to defend against them!
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered what Jiang Ran had unintentionally said to him before.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to Gu Nan and instructed, "Don't stop this matter. Keep investigating. A fox will always show its tail eventually."
With a tone full of certainty, Gu Nan nodded and began to deal with the matter.
Before leaving, he looked down at the unconscious Jiang Ran, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He slowly shook his head and turned to leave.
The room fell silent instantly. Si Yanxiao's eyes flickered slightly as he picked up his phone and instructed his subordinates to manage the orphanage meticulously, thus accumulating merit for Jiang Ran.
Then he gripped Jiang Ran's hands tightly, a complex emotion flashing across his face.
Jiang Ran had been feeling unwell on several occasions, but her condition improved after she came into contact with him.
He originally thought it was just a coincidence, but not long ago Jiang Ran told him that there was a reason behind it all.
His own magnetic field complemented hers, greatly aiding her cultivation.
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao had no choice but to try anything, using the same method as before to wake her up.
At the same time, Si Jiliang also learned about Jiang Ran's situation from the old man. His eyes flashed slightly, and he had already made up his mind. Then, he made an excuse and went back to the villa.
Sitting in the study, his eyes were slightly lowered, staring blankly at a certain spot, his thoughts unreadable.
Bai Zhuwei's words of provocation still ring in my ears and are still vivid in my mind.
He had originally had no interest in Jiang Ran, but now he clearly knew that this person was not the same as before...
His obsession with her runs so deep, there's absolutely no way he'd let her go!
Thinking of this, Si Jiliang's eyes suddenly turned cold, revealing a chilling intent. He then got up and walked towards the locked wooden box next to him.
He took out a key from the side and slowly opened it, revealing inside were talismans, compasses, and other items related to the Xuanhuang arts.
Then he took out a blank talisman, picked up cinnabar and drew a few strokes on it, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.
