Chapter 176
Qin Xiang didn't know how she followed Miao Sheng to the hospital.
Arriving outside the hospital operating room, she saw the lights still on. She thought of the man she'd embraced the previous night lying inside, undergoing an operation with an unknown outcome, and her heart was filled with panic and confusion.
Their relationship was a natural progression. Although they both prioritized their careers and had no plans to marry, they still cherished each other and planned to spend their lives together. They hadn't been together long, but they had always gotten along well. Qin Xiang suspected she would be heartbroken if she truly lost such a boyfriend.
The corridor was very quiet, and the bodyguards didn't dare to make a sound. Miao Sheng's eyes were filled with anxiety and he felt very guilty.
Only then did Qin Xiang regain her tongue and asked, "Why did this happen?"
Guangzhou at this stage isn't the bustling city it will be decades from now; only a few people own cars. Meng Huaiqing flew here by helicopter, then took a car to and from the hotel. It was such a short distance, and Qin Xiang found it hard to accept that he would get into an accident. She didn't believe it wasn't premeditated.
Miao Sheng's face was grim, but he still said patiently, "This was definitely a premeditated car accident."
I just didn't expect that the other party would extend their reach to Guangzhou.
All I can say is that the gentleman was too kind, and his subordinates were too careless, thinking that the gentleman was absolutely safe in Guangzhou.
This is also the reason why these people would rather Mr. work in the mainland.
The mainland's laws and regulations are strict in some aspects, and it has experienced severe crackdowns, so there is almost no overt danger, and it is difficult for people in Hong Kong to reach out.
I really underestimated them.
Hearing this, Qin Xiang frowned and quickly guessed, "You mean, someone from the Jiang family?"
Although Meng Huaiqing seldom talked to her about family matters, she could get a glimpse of it from Uncle Ge and Miao Sheng.
At this time, Miao Sheng gave Qin Xiang some basic knowledge about the Jiang family.
Meng Huaiqing took his mother's surname and had a less-than-stellar relationship with his father's Jiang family. His father had three wives and seven or eight siblings. As the children from these concubines grew up, the struggle for the family fortune became more pronounced. In the past few years, Jiang Licheng had been in good health, and his relationship with Meng Huaiqing hadn't been a big deal. But since the beginning of the year, Jiang Licheng's health has been failing. His other sons haven't been very successful, and the only one who has shown any progress, Meng Huaiqing, once said he wasn't interested in the Jiang family's assets.
After testing his sons and finding none of them up to par, Jiang Licheng wanted Meng Huaiqing to return to the Jiang family and take over the company. This would have become a stumbling block for the other brothers in their bid for power. Regardless of the brothers' abilities, their mother was a resourceful and resourceful woman, and she had repeatedly hindered Meng Huaiqing, both overtly and covertly.
However, these were just minor fights before, and Meng Huaiqing didn't take such tricks seriously, and fought back easily. Unexpectedly, his tolerance only aggravated the other party's appetite, and they attempted to kill Meng Huaiqing in Yangcheng.
Qin Xiang suppressed her anger and said, "So, the Jiang family deliberately arranged the car accident in Yangcheng."
There's a reason for this. Around 1983, when the government launched a crackdown, Guangzhou was a top priority, arresting numerous hooligans and thugs, and the area enjoyed a period of peace and order. However, with Guangzhou's rapid development over the past two years, its population has grown exponentially, and numerous gangs have emerged in areas like the railway station. They engage in guerrilla warfare with the police, and even the police are constantly trying to arrest them. Furthermore, many are operating undercover as well.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but sneer. The Jiang family actually extended their reach to Yangcheng. Who knew who was backing them?
Miao Sheng nodded, "Yes. Apart from the people over there, no one else could do this, and no one has such a deep hatred that they wish Mr. to die soon."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Have you reported it to the police?"
Miao Sheng was stunned. "Report to the police?"
Qin Xiang frowned. "I don't know how they'll handle it in Hong Kong. If something like this happens in mainland China, you have to report it to the police." She really didn't expect Miao Sheng to not report it first after such a thing happened. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? Seeing Miao Sheng frown, he seemed to disagree. Qin Xiang said, "If you don't report it to the police, then I will."
"But..." Miao Sheng hesitated. "Can the police intervene in a family matter like this? Will it cause a big fuss?"
Qin Xiang sneered, "Yes, we have to make a big fuss about this, to get the police to take it seriously and investigate thoroughly. Only in this way can we deter them. If you don't report it to the police, how do you know if they won't resort to more outrageous and powerful tactics if their first strike misses? Can you guarantee that?"
Looking at the several security guards around with their heads down, Qin Xiang was really furious. "None of you were hurt, but he was the only one who got hurt. How dare you stay here and not report to the police? Meng Huaiqing is not just a simple businessman in Hong Kong. Isn't the contribution he made on the mainland enough for the higher-ups to pay attention and investigate this matter? They think that the mainland's laws can't control them, but they shouldn't forget that their claws are still in Guangzhou. If you waste time, they will run away. Where can you catch them? Or do you think that if you don't succeed this time, they will give up and won't have a second chance to reach out?"
She raised her voice a little and said sternly, "Go quickly."
"I'll go right away." Miao Sheng saw Qin Xiang so angry for the first time. He had to admit that what Qin Xiang said was right. In Hong Kong, we should abide by the rules of Hong Kong. In Guangzhou, we should abide by the laws of the mainland. He hurriedly stood up and went to report to the police.
But unexpectedly, after a while, Miao Sheng hurried back with a group of people, led by people who looked like police officers and cadres.
Qin Xiang could guess from the situation that it was probably someone from the Yangcheng government who knew about the situation and came to check it out.
When they got closer, several leaders looked at Qin Xiang and asked, "Who is this..."
Miao Sheng glanced at Qin Xiang and didn't know how to answer.
Qin Xiang said directly, "I am Meng Huaiqing's girlfriend. Are you here to investigate this accident?"
Although the other party was surprised, he nodded and said, "Yes, we heard about it and rushed over to check the situation. Is there still no news inside?"
Qin Xiang shook her head. "No." She looked at Miao Sheng. "Miao Sheng, please tell the police what happened. Please cooperate with them and find someone to look for witnesses."
Miao Sheng nodded, "Okay."
The person who came from the municipal government was from the secretariat.
The person who came from the Public Security Bureau was a director.
It is impossible not to pay attention to it. Meng Huaiqing has a special identity. He is not just a businessman in Gangcheng, but also a businessman who has been specially contacted and invited by the country to return to the mainland to invest and make great contributions.
Meng Huaiqing had invested in and built several factories not only in Shandong Province and the capital, but also in Guangzhou, making significant contributions to the mainland's development. They had also heard that Meng Huaiqing had reached several cooperation agreements with the capital's municipal government, and that factories were already under construction. If something happened to him in Guangzhou, the capital wouldn't let it go.
When the Guangzhou government heard about this, they rushed over without delay, determined to investigate the whole matter. If they didn't make it clear that this had happened in Guangzhou, which Hong Kong businessman would dare to invest and build a factory in the future?
So almost as soon as Qin Xiang said that, the people from the municipal government made their position clear, and the people from the Public Security Bureau naturally took it seriously. "Don't worry, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Besides Miao Sheng, there were also bodyguards present, so it would be easy to find other witnesses at this time.
Miao Sheng left two bodyguards and Qin Xiang to guard here, while he went to cooperate with the police investigation.
Soon Mi Hongjun also followed. Qin Xiang did not dare to be careless. Who knows if the other party's people are hiding in the dark, waiting to see if Meng Huaiqing will die. If he is not dead, will they take the opportunity to attack again?
In the past, the third brother was worried that Meng Huaiqing's family background would bring her trouble. Once there were problems in her marriage, it would not be easy for her family to support her.
At that time, she thought that as long as she didn't marry Meng Huaiqing, there would be no such trouble.
Facts have proved that as long as she and Meng Huaiqing are together on the mainland, they will not have contact with people from Meng Huaiqing's side and will not be in danger.
But who would have thought that something bad would happen to Meng Huaiqing first.
Qin Xiang was very angry, but she did not regret dating Meng Huaiqing.
I just hate that bad guys are so rampant.
This time she couldn't let it go easily. Even if she couldn't really do anything to the other party, she had to let the other party know that the Chinese had the final say on Chinese soil.
Qin Xiang walked back and forth here, and time passed by minute by minute. After a long time, Miao Sheng came back, but the operation was not completed.
Miao Sheng said worriedly, "Sir, you have a head injury. I guess you'll need to rest for a long time. You have to take good care of yourself."
Qin Xiang frowned when he heard that.
The head is the most important part of the human body. A serious injury to the head can leave sequelae.
Miao Sheng sighed and was about to say something else when the door of the operating room opened and a long line of doctors came out. The director and the directors of various departments jointly performed the surgery.
Qin Xiang stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is the patient?"
"The surgery is complete. There's no danger to his life, but the head injury may have sequelae. We have to observe carefully and take good care of him afterwards."
Because the patient's condition was unique, even though it wasn't that serious, the director and department heads were still extremely cautious when operating. A surgery that should have taken two hours took four. They checked and rechecked, minimizing the risk, and finally concluded the operation.
But they couldn't tell the patient's family this, so they could only discuss the condition in a confidential manner.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as people are alive, it's fine. As for recovering from injuries, just take your time.
Meng Huaiqing was then pushed out. His usually gentle face was completely pale, his eyes tightly shut, and his head was wrapped in gauze. There were no injuries to other parts of his body, but the sight of a head injury was enough to indicate a serious condition.
The sick Meng Huaiqing looked particularly fragile, which made Qin Xiang feel very uncomfortable.
The bed was pushed into a single room on the fourth floor, which was equipped with a refrigerator and a TV.
The doctor settled Meng Huaiqing down, explained the precautions in detail, and left. Then several nurses came over and quickly hung up the IV drip and took the temperature. It was another busy day.
After everyone left, Qin Xiang sat there looking at Meng Huaiqing, unable to help but feel distressed.
"Although the Public Security Bureau will take this matter seriously, there's no guarantee they won't make an effort in this regard." Qin Xiang stood up and instructed Miao Sheng, "I'll keep an eye on this. You should also leave bodyguards to guard this area 24 hours a day. Go to the Public Security Bureau to follow up on this matter. Also, notify Old Madam Ge."
Miao Sheng had no doubts about her arrangement at first, but when it came to informing Old Madam Ge, he hesitated. "She's old. Would it be inappropriate to tell her?"
"Not good?" Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow. "Then you think it's okay to keep it a secret? For Yu Huaiqing, the old lady is his closest relative. The same must be true for the old lady. He won't recover in a day or two, so how can he keep it a secret? Do you think someone like the old lady can't even bear this?"
What she didn't say was that the person who caused this was, after all, a relative of the old lady. After all, Meng Huaiqing's father was raised by the old lady, and it was she who didn't teach him well that caused all the trouble that followed. The old lady had the right to know about this matter, and she was also curious about how the old lady would deal with it.
Qin Xiang looked at Miao Sheng without question, "If you don't make this call, then I will."
She knew Meng Huaiqing's home phone number, but she just didn't want to contact the old lady at this time. She was worried that she would not be able to control her emotions.
Miao Sheng met her gaze, thought for a moment, and then agreed, "Yes, I'll do it right away. I'll ask Assistant Liu to keep an eye on the company, but some decisions... I'm afraid they're going to be difficult to make."
Qin Xiang looked up and said, "His health is the most important thing right now. If Assistant Liu can make the decision about the company, let him make it. If he can't make up his mind, go find the old lady."
"Okay." Miao Sheng didn't dare to doubt it anymore, so he agreed directly, turned around and left.
Although Miao Sheng had his own concerns, he also knew that at this time they were on the same front, and Qin Xiang had no reason not to stand on their side.
When Qin Xiang went out to check, he saw four familiar bodyguards standing at the door.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the ward, sat by the bed, and looked at Meng Huaiqing with his eyes closed, feeling complicated.
Everyone envied the wealth of the wealthy and powerful, but who could have known how filthy things were inside. Meng Huaiqing probably didn't care about anything in the Jiang family, but the other branches of the Jiang family didn't think so. They regarded Meng Huaiqing as a thorn in their side and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Since they failed in Hong Kong, they reached out to Guangzhou.
If they failed this time, they could indeed play the long game and catch the enemy in one fell swoop, but she didn't want to take such a risk. Even if it was just to deal with the minions, they had to let the enemy know that they were not so easy to bully.
Of course, if you are bullied, you have to fight back. As for how to fight back, she still needs to think carefully about it.
Miao Sheng went out and found a post office that could make calls to Gangcheng. He called and told Ge Lijuan everything without hiding anything.
Ge Lijuan was shocked and trembling with anger, "How is Huaiqing now?"
"My husband has already had surgery. The doctor said he only had a head injury and needs to rest. He's currently at Yangcheng Hospital, and Miss Qin is taking care of him." Miao Sheng said word by word. "Madam, those two cars ran away after the collision. It was quite late at night, and there were no other vehicles on the road. The road was wide, so it definitely couldn't have been an accident."
Ge Lijuan naturally understood what he meant.
When Ge Lijuan thought of that big family, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
Back then, she thought that after all, the other party had given birth to a child for the Jiang family and was a member of the Jiang family. She had no choice but to entrust Huai Qing to him, but she had never expected that Huai Qing would be treated so cruelly. Huai Qing had already left the Jiang family all these years, but the other party still refused to let Huai Qing go, resorting to such despicable means.
This time, two cars collided at the same time. Will he stab someone with a knife next time?
Ge Lijuan was in a very bad mood. After asking about Meng Huaiqing's current situation, she calmly ordered, "I will send someone over to help you protect his safety. I will handle the matters here."
Miao Sheng was the child Ge Lijuan brought back home, and he had a special affection for her. Hearing her say this, he felt even more guilty, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I didn't protect him well."
Hearing the self-blame in his words, Ge Lijuan sighed, "This is not your fault, it's mine."
It was because she didn't teach her son well, and her son didn't teach his children well that led to the current mistakes.
After hanging up the phone, Miao Sheng shrugged and went back to the ward, only to see Qin Xiang sitting in front of the bed, writing something in a notebook.
He thought Qin Xiang was still busy with work, and he felt a little unhappy. His boyfriend was in such a state, but he still had time to think about work. It was a pity that his boss was sincere to Qin Xiang. Knowing that Qin Xiang was in Yangcheng, no matter how busy he was, he would rush over to reunite with Qin Xiang in the evening, but Qin Xiang didn't care about his boss at all.
Miao Sheng was extremely angry for a moment and walked over and said, "Miss Qin..."
After seeing clearly what was written on Qin Xiangben's book, Miao Sheng could not continue.
