After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 327: Trash Dad, Accept the Punishment!

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Trash Dad, Accept the Punishment!

Could it be leukemia complications? Or has it relapsed?

Li Lingyang’s face instantly turned more anxious than Special Assistant Xu’s, his heart feeling like it was being fried in a pan. He stood up abruptly.

"What’s the specific situation? Was she sent for emergency treatment? Can those experts at the hospital save my daughter?"

"The surgery just finished, she’s already been sent back to the ward. Lady Ning and little young master Chen Bao are currently by her side."

"Prepare the car, I need to see Ningning!"

...

The moon was bright, the stars sparse, Charité Hospital lay silent.

Ningning lay in the hospital bed pretending to sleep, the room steeped in an unusual dimness.

In the shadows, Chen Bao had already explained to Ning Yichu about what happened the previous night—someone had snuck in. He also laid out his plan to trap the suspect.

Ning Yichu couldn’t help but admire her son’s astonishing powers of perception!

She had only noticed the open window but hadn’t thought to use subtle changes in indoor temperature to make judgments...

"Chen Bao, how can you be sure that person from last night will definitely return?"

"They came late at night and sent something to us via the hospital today, showing they don’t mean harm. Just now, I asked Uncle John to spread news outside that Ningning suddenly fainted. If... if they truly care for us, they likely won’t be able to resist coming over."

Ning Yichu gave him a approving glance—her son was truly growing up...

There were so many things she no longer had to worry about, and he was becoming more and more like that man.

The ward fell silent, Ningning’s heart thumping furiously. She secretly opened her eyes just a sliver.

Who would they catch tonight?

Could it be deadbeat dad?

Hmph! Don’t think for a second she’d forgive him because of this!

She was already leaning toward Uncle Mo Shuai as her daddy...

Time ticked by, minute after minute. After nearly half an hour had passed, Ning Yichu was about to lose her patience when suddenly a sound came from the window!

Ning Yichu stiffened in shock, exchanging a glance with Chen Bao—they’d come!

The night was dense, tension rising steadily in the quiet ward.

A man outside climbed onto the balcony. Through the glass, he first observed the situation inside the ward. After confirming there was nothing unusual, he skillfully slid open the floor-to-ceiling window and cautiously stepped inside...

His polished leather shoes landed silently on the white floor.

Ning Yichu, hidden in the dim light, caught sight of his tall, suited figure and held her breath.

Could it be that awful man?

But didn’t Yuke say Li Lingyang was still in Imperial City?

Whoosh—

Chen Bao forcefully pressed down on the remote control in his hand!

Deadbeat dad, prepare to face justice!

The previously dark and luxurious ward burst into light, as bright as daylight, revealing the room clearly.

With a loud "bang," the ward’s door was pushed open. A group of black-suited bodyguards surged inside, all eyes trained on the man in the room.

The man, his back turned to the crowd, froze instantly, his tall, upright figure rigid.

He clearly hadn’t expected this sudden turn of events!

Chen Bao’s childish voice rang out, sharp and playful, "Don’t move, otherwise the tranquilizer guns my bodyguard uncles have won’t show any mercy."

The man’s posture grew even stiffer.

"Turn around," Chen Bao commanded again.

The atmosphere became even tenser as the bodyguards surrounded him completely. Cornered with no way out, the man reluctantly turned, rigid and hesitant.

Ning Yichu’s heart was in her throat. She desperately wanted to know if it was him!

But in the next second, a Western man’s striking and deep facial features appeared in front of them.

The man’s pale face broke into an awkward smile, "Lady Ning... Ning Yichu, Chen Bao, long time no see?"

"Edmond??" Ning Yichu’s beautiful eyes widened in shock. "Why is it you?"

Chen Bao was thunderstruck.

Huh? It wasn’t deadbeat dad?

Edmond looked equally mortified, scratching his head awkwardly. "Lady Ning, I heard little Ningning hasn’t been doing well lately and came to check on her..."

Ning Yichu narrowed her eyes slightly and asked coldly, "You’re scaling the window in the middle of the night just to visit Ningning?"

"Yes... yes indeed."

"Why didn’t you come during the day?"

Apart from a few encounters two years ago during the bone marrow donation, they’d had no other interaction. How did he know Ningning was hospitalized? And why hadn’t he contacted her beforehand?

The logic didn’t add up at all!

"..." Edmond hemmed and hawed, quickly trying to come up with an excuse.

Ning Yichu’s gaze turned cold. "Mr. Edmond, this isn’t a simple visit anymore. You sneaking in like this at night gives me reason to suspect your intentions aren’t pure. You’d better tell me the truth—did someone send you here?"

"Lady Ning, it’s not what you think! Actually... actually, I’m short on money, and I thought I’d sneak in to see if Ningning’s condition needed my bone marrow..."

Ning Yichu sneered, "You already knew Ningning’s ward number. Why didn’t you just communicate with me directly?"

"I figured, if Ningning’s condition was critical, I’d pretend to show up incidentally and run into you by chance. That way, I’d win your goodwill and—if the opportunity arose—I could demand a high price more easily."

This explanation sounded reasonable, yet Ning Yichu still felt something was off.

"Did you sneak in last night too and secretly do some vile things? Was that you?"

"Huh? Last night? No, no—I only came tonight for the first time! Lady Ning, you can’t frame me..." Edmond’s expression was honest, but his heart was trembling.

It’s no wonder the man from Imperial City sent him running here late at night to meet Lady Ning—turns out it was to...

Cover up his own misdeeds, hoping Edmond would take the blame!

No way, he wasn’t going to accept this! Not remotely.

Ning Yichu was already 70-80% certain—the intruder last night had been Li Lingyang.

Recalling that icy kiss from yesterday, suspicion flashed in Ning Yichu’s eyes. She suddenly said, "Let him go!"

Chen Bao was shocked, furrowing his delicate little brows. "Mommy, we’re really letting him go?"

"Let him leave. Edmond did save Ningning after all. We can’t repay kindness with revenge."

Edmond was instantly relieved, nodding profusely. "Yes, yes! My intentions were good! Lady Ning, goodbye! Little Ningning, I wish you a speedy recovery!"

With that, Edmond ran off without looking back.

"Mommy, Edmond must’ve been sent by someone. Why let the tiger return to the mountain?" Ningning sat cross-legged on the bed, tilting her head curiously.

"Letting the tiger return to the mountain makes it drop its guard. It’ll lead us to whoever’s behind it."

Ning Yichu gave a brief explanation before instructing the bodyguards, "Follow him for the next couple of days. Try to monitor his phone activity and see who he contacts!"

"Understood."

The white bodyguard replied then quickly exited the ward.

In truth, Ning Yichu and her two children already had a pretty good idea who was behind it—they just lacked concrete proof...

It didn’t matter whether it was Li Lingyang—Ning Yichu didn’t want to see him again!

She went straight to the hospital security team, requesting the windows be locked and security strengthened immediately!

Chen Bao also planned to utilize his hacking skills tomorrow.

After sorting everything out, it was nearing midnight.

Ning Yichu lay down to sleep with her two treasures...

In the room, the lights dimmed once again.

Across the street from the Charité Hospital inpatient wing, a white Maybach was parked.

Li Lingyang sat inside the car, his gaze fixed on the darkened hospital room, his emotions tangled and melancholy.

"President Li, it happened just as you predicted—tonight was a trap. Edmond went in and was caught immediately..." Special Assistant Xu said with lingering fear.
