Chapter 222: Chapter 170: Unconscious

It has been raining these past few days.

Tang Xi sat on the balcony, holding Zhouzhou and watching the raindrops fall on the window.

Fu Tingzhou was coming back today. He called the home landline in the morning, saying he would be on the afternoon high-speed train.

But Tang Xi’s mind was preoccupied with Xu Rongchen’s words.

Xu Rongchen promised her to help her leave.

In Xu Rongchen’s eyes, she was just a woman who hindered Fu Tingzhou’s career ambitions, a burden by Fu Tingzhou’s side. But Fu Tingzhou was different; he was Xu Rongchen’s business partner, a friend, someone tied to mutual interests.

Xu Rongchen had no grounds to refuse, and Tang Xi figured this out too, which is why she sought Xu Rongchen’s help.

They were looking for the right moment.

Tang Xi was finally going to escape this cage and gain the freedom she desired. She couldn’t quite describe the emotions in her heart; it was joy, it was relief, perhaps.

In the evening, Fu Tingzhou did not return.

Tang Xi had prepared dinner because Fu Tingzhou had said over the phone he wanted to eat sweet and sour fish. She went to the market with Nie Xiaoyun in the afternoon, bought some groceries, and these homecooked dishes were Tang Xi’s specialty. It seemed that she was about to face freedom, and while she cooked, her face was filled with smiles.

Nie Xiaoyun even teased her about it.

But Fu Tingzhou still hadn’t arrived until now.

Nie Xiaoyun said, "The weather is bad today; flights are canceled. Maybe he didn’t catch the high-speed train."

Tang Xi, tired, rubbed the space between her eyebrows, while Zhouzhou kept nuzzling in her arms. Tang Xi first fed Zhouzhou and Sixteen some dog food.

She ate something simple and then took a book to the balcony.

The rocking chair gently swayed, Tang Xi read while listening to the rain - it was one of the few pleasures she could enjoy.

Suddenly, Nie Xiaoyun rushed over after answering a phone call.

"Tang Xi.... something has happened."

Looking at Nie Xiaoyun’s pale face, Tang Xi was stunned for a moment. Her voice was hoarse, "What happened?"

Nie Xiaoyun spoke tensely, "Mr. Fu had a car accident on his way back. He is now in the hospital.... unconscious."

Tang Xi promptly stood up.

She looked at Nie Xiaoyun with a shocked expression, "What did you say?"

After snapping back to reality, Tang Xi changed her clothes and immediately went to the hospital with Nie Xiaoyun.

Fu Tingzhou had already undergone surgery and was pushed into the ward. Due to the anesthesia, he had not yet woken up, but fortunately, his condition was not too bad. When Tang Xi arrived, Guan Yue was standing at the door of the ward and immediately informed her of Fu Tingzhou’s current situation.

Concussion, rib fractures, and a fractured left arm.

Multiple injuries on his body, but none too serious.

Guan Yue said the other driver had premeditated the act. Just after leaving the train station and driving onto the regular street, a small truck rammed into him.

Tang Xi looked at Guan Yue, her brow tightly furrowed, "Has the culprit been found?"

Guan Yue was silent for a moment, didn’t directly answer, but said, "Miss Tang, don’t worry. Before Mr. Fu entered the operation room, he instructed me to take good care of you."

Tang Xi fixed her gaze on Guan Yue’s face, "So, you know who the culprit is?"

Guan Yue said, "Miss Tang, not only do I know, but you must also already have a suspicion about who the culprit is. I can tell you responsibly that your guess is correct."

On her way here, Tang Xi already speculated, could it be the work of the Xu Family?

Fu Tingzhou has made many enemies, and he had no shortage of nemeses.

But to commit such a brazen act of violence, likely only...

Only the Xu Family remains.

Last time, when Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou were attacked, it was done by the Xu Family.

But why, why would the Xu Family do it a second time?

Xu Yiran is already fine and has gone abroad. He has lost his memory and forgotten everything about now. According to Xu Yunjie’s character, he is someone who prefers stability and is not suited for the business world’s cutthroat dealings. Xu Yiran had mentioned things about the Xu Family to Tang Xi before; Xu Yunjie is actually a literati, forced into taking care of family affairs, but at heart, he is a scholar.

He usually likes to collect antique paintings and calligraphy.

Xu Yunjie having the audacity to arrange a car accident once, would absolutely not dare to do it a second time.

But tonight...

Tang Xi’s hand was placed on the doorknob, gripping tightly. The doorknob was slightly cool, her finger joints tense. She turned and looked at Guan Yue, speaking very seriously and earnestly, "I feel that it’s not the Xu Family."

Guan Yue’s voice was steady, strictly business, "We will investigate thoroughly."

Meanwhile.

Inside a five-star hotel, in a presidential suite, men’s and women’s clothing were scattered across the floor.

The sound of water could be heard from the bathroom.

The bedsheets were a mess—it was obvious what had happened here.

Lin Chengfeng’s phone kept ringing, and as soon as he picked up, an anxious voice came from the other end, "Brother Five, it’s done. Fu Tingzhou has been taken to the hospital. Their car was specially rigged, so although it flipped, the people inside shouldn’t be too badly injured. What should I do now... The driver seems to have seen my face clearly. If Fu Tingzhou tracks it back to us, what are we going to do..."

Fu Tingzhou’s fame and brutal methods are well-known; whoever dares to attack him and gets found out is definitely in deep trouble.

The young man on the other end panicked as well.

Lin Chengfeng frowned and lowered his voice, "How could you be recognized! Didn’t I tell you to wear a mask!! How did you handle this!!"

"I... I..." The man at the other end faltered, "I did wear a mask, but I have a scar on my forehead... When he turned on the high beams, he must have seen me..."

That was a very obvious distinguishing mark. A man with a scar on his forehead could be found within a couple of days if someone wanted to investigate.

Lin Chengfeng was also getting nervous, hastily smoking a couple of cigarettes, "You need to run now, as far as you can. If Fu Tingzhou catches you, we’re all dead!" Lin Chengfeng did this without Su Mengshu’s knowledge. He liked Su Mengshu, but she was only into Fu Tingzhou. In the past, Su Mengshu asked him repeatedly to help her with climbing up to Fu Tingzhou, thinking of the future, Lin Chengfeng agreed.

But now Su Mengshu has become the precious granddaughter of the Shu Family...

And she is Shu Chong’an’s most beloved granddaughter.

Lin Chengfeng thought of a scheme: if Fu Tingzhou died, Su Mengshu would also give up this fixation.

Who would have thought his subordinates would be incompetent.

"I’ll give you a sum of money, get as far away as possible, get out of North City tonight!"

Su Mengshu came out of the bathroom, "Who is it, you’ve been on the phone for so long."

"Mengshu, about the previous discussion I had with you, I want to join Shu Group... How did it go with your conversation with your grandfather?"

Su Mengshu didn’t dare to bring this up to Shu Chong’an, she said vaguely, "Brother Five, such things can’t be rushed. The Shu Family’s authority is now in my uncle’s hands... But now my uncle is not in North City, I plan to talk to him once he returns."

Lin Chengfeng held Su Mengshu, coaxing her gently as greed flashed in his eyes, "Mengshu, you know that you’re the person I love most. Just think about it, you may be the Shu Family’s precious child, but you don’t hold shares in Shu Group. Once the old Shu patriarch passes, if your uncles mistreat you..."

Su Mengshu pursed her lips, she was indeed worried.

After all, she wasn’t raised in the Shu Family from a young age; she was estranged from Shu Rongjun and the others. Although she called them uncles, the truth was...

Lin Chengfeng persuaded her gently, "If I enter Shu Group, curry favor with people, slowly take control... won’t everything that is mine become yours too?"

Su Mengshu was tempted, especially after being repeatedly rejected by Fu Tingzhou several times. If she didn’t look out for herself, she wouldn’t be able to grab any power or benefits in the future.

"Brother Five, I’ll think of a way."

Lin Chengfeng clasped Su Mengshu’s hand, tenderly consoling her, his eyes revealing longing, "The Shu Family would eventually be ours."
