Chapter 195 Unexpected Information
He emphasized the last syllable of his words, making his tone even more sarcastic.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's expression changed slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.
Si Yanxiao is now convinced that the person behind this matter is related to her, and no amount of explanation from her will help.
This isn't about seeking verification; it's practically about publicly putting them on the pillory of shame.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed, and a faint displeasure rose in her heart. Then she raised her eyes and looked at him seriously, coldly scoffing, "Fine, don't believe me then, it's like casting pearls before swine."
Si Yanxiao sensed the sarcasm in her words, his brow furrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he warned, "Jiang Ran!"
Jiang Ran seemed completely unconcerned, as if she hadn't heard a word. A mocking smile flashed across her face as she continued, "Do you really think Bai Zhuwei is someone special?"
"My brother had no idea she existed, let alone plotted against her. It's absurd!"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression changed, but apart from his own suspicions, he could not find any fault in her words.
The unresolved argument had to be dropped. Jiang Ran's gaze turned slightly cold as she coldly scrutinized Si Yanxiao, her expression shifting unpredictably.
She had always thought that even if Si Yanxiao had selfish motives, he was at least a rational person. She never expected that when it came to Bai Zhuwei, he would completely lose his composure and become suspicious.
Is Bai Zhuwei really that influential to him?!
Thinking of this, a hint of disdain flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes. She never expected that such a powerful figure in the business world could be troubled by love. What a joke! Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, and Si Zuochen and Si Youlin appeared at the corner.
When the two saw that Si Yanxiao was also present, a look of surprise flashed across their faces, but they quickly recovered and walked up to Jiang Ran.
Si Zuochen's face was full of anxiety, and he quickly asked, "How is Uncle?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Si Yanxiao casually, then looked at Si Zuochen and replied softly, "He's still in the emergency room, and we don't know his condition yet."
Si Zuochen listened, his brow furrowing, his eyes filled with worry.
Si Youlin stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the emergency room door, his face full of anxiety.
Si Yanxiao hadn't expected them to arrive so promptly. He raised an eyebrow and slowly asked, "How did you know he was in trouble?"
“I was the one who said it,” Jiang Ran replied in a deep voice. “They had originally planned to pick me up from the hospital together today, but unexpectedly, this happened halfway through…”
Si Youlin listened and slowly withdrew his gaze, then echoed in a low voice, "When we arrived at the hospital, there was no one there, so we called to inquire and rushed over immediately."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao nodded slightly, but he did not expect that Jiang Yuechen's recognition of them would have such a great impact so soon.
Seeing the worry in the eyes of the three people, Si Yanxiao suddenly felt a little awkward, as if he were an outsider standing there.
Thinking of this, he lowered his gaze slightly, exchanged a few words with the two children, and then made an excuse to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Ran almost imperceptibly, then turned and walked away.
After he left, Jiang Ran slumped against the wall, her brows furrowed.
I didn't have time to think about it carefully during my argument with Si Yanxiao, but now that I've calmed down, I realize that this is definitely not a coincidence.
All those events that have happened recently are ultimately aimed at the Si family.
Her relationship with Jiang Yuechen is no secret; anyone with a keen eye can easily find out.
Not long ago, he himself had an accident, and now it's his turn. It's probably because the person behind the scenes couldn't hold back any longer and gave them another warning.
Upon closer examination, each link in the chain is interconnected, revealing the unfathomable depths of the cunning individuals behind the scenes…
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a hint of anxiety flashed across her expression.
The situation is extremely unfavorable for them. The enemy is lurking in the shadows, leaving no trace, while they stand right in front of them like a live target, with no way to avoid them.
Si Zuochen noticed that Jiang Ran looked strange and mistakenly thought that she was worried about Jiang Yuechen, so he quickly reassured her, "Don't worry too much, your uncle will definitely be fine."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran snapped out of her daze and saw Si Youlin nodding repeatedly beside her, trying to comfort her. A look of relief flashed across her face, and she replied softly, "Okay."
She then lowered her eyes to conceal her thoughts, though her heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
The fact that Jiang Yuechen experienced this serves as a warning, in a way.
If this trend continues unchecked, the people behind the scenes will only become more and more arrogant.
These few times were just lucky; no irreparable losses occurred. But what about next? Who can guarantee that they'll be so lucky every time?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's expression darkened. Remembering that the investigation into Yin Qi had implicated Bai Zhuwei, his eyes sharpened, and he decided to bring the plan forward.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after leaving the hospital, Si Yanxiao was preparing to go to the cemetery to check on Gu Nan's condition.
As I pulled up to the side of the road, my phone suddenly received a text message.
Si Yanxiao glanced at it, saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but didn't pay any attention and turned his head away.
Then he suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly turned the steering wheel sharply. He heard something on the side of the road and hurriedly grabbed his phone.
A sentence was prominently displayed below the text message.
How are you?
The conversation was concise and to the point, with no further pleasantries.
But to Si Yanxiao, it was like a bomb exploding in his mind.
Although it was an unfamiliar number, he had a vague premonition that he must know the person on the other end of the line, given the familiar tone of the voice!
Thinking of this, a sudden tremor ran through him, his eyes flickered, and his face was full of shock.
He immediately called Gu Nan, who was resignedly searching for clues from the tombstone but found nothing.
She glanced down and saw that it was a call from Si Yanxiao, and a sense of resentment welled up in her heart.
He neglects his duties and spends all his time searching for her, all for the sake of a woman. No one can stand to see that.
He still swiped to answer the call, a hint of displeasure in his voice, and asked coldly, "What is it now? I haven't found any useful information here yet."
Si Yanxiao ignored his resentment and said directly, "I sent you a phone number. Check his IP address."
"Huh?" Gu Nan paused, a look of surprise flashing across her face: "What phone number?"
Si Yanxiao then briefly explained what had just happened, but Gu Nan didn't react with the same excitement as him; she just thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
She then curled her lip and retorted, "You're overthinking it. What if it's just a friend who heard about your recent situation and is asking about it?"
"No!" Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao gave a firm and decisive refusal.
He had a vague premonition, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Even when he told others, they couldn't understand it.
Without further ado, he directly ordered, "Go investigate!"
Sensing the anxiety in Si Yanxiao's voice, Gu Nan knew that there was no point in saying anything more. She pursed her lips slightly and sighed helplessly, "Fine, send it to me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Si Yanxiao listened to the busy tone from the receiver without caring, and hurriedly sent his phone number to Gu Nan.
Upon receiving the information, Gu Nan immediately instructed his subordinates to investigate the IP address, proceeding step by step, with each step building upon the previous one.
His face was full of helplessness, and he muttered accusations in a low voice: "All that futile struggle..."
Si Yanxiao rushed to the cemetery, but before he could arrive, Gu Nan had already given him the results.
Upon seeing Gu Nan's call, Si Yanxiao quickly swiped to answer and asked, "How is it?"
Gu Nan gave an address in a low voice, then asked, "Do you need me to come with you?"
"Hmm." Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice, "Let's meet there."
"Okay," Gu Nan replied softly.
Although I strongly disagree with Si Yanxiao's current actions, I still have to consider his safety.
After all, the things that have happened recently are clearly aimed at him, and given the unknown origin of this text message, it's definitely not appropriate to leave him alone in a dangerous situation.
He then coldly instructed the person beside him: "After checking that there are no problems here, go and inquire around the area. Report back immediately if you have any news."
"Yes." The leader nodded slightly and replied in a deep voice.
Gu Nan turned and left, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly remembered something, paused slightly, turned back to look at the people standing there, and pointed.
"You two, come with me."
