Chapter 360: Chapter 360: What was Hidden in the Fire Years Ago

"...Right there in that alley, Doctor Antony was held down while trying to save me..." Annette, barely clinging to life, struggled to raise her blood-soaked hand and pointed in a direction.

Ning Yichu’s pupils contracted sharply, immediately instructing the police to check it out.

Mo Baiyou furrowed his brows slightly, a hint of something flickering in his eyes, and went to investigate with the police.

The surroundings fell silent. Ning Yichu watched as Annette’s complexion turned increasingly pale and did her best to encourage her, comforting her, "The police are already on their way. They’re doing everything they can to save Doctor Antony."

"Doctor Antony... They’re targeting him—they want to silence... him... Please, you must save him!"

Annette, having been Doctor Antony’s private nurse for years, had a close bond with him, becoming more emotional as she spoke.

"Alright, alright, the police will handle it. Don’t get too worked up..."

Ning Yichu soothed Annette while speculating—had Doctor Antony offended someone?

Did he uncover something that should have remained hidden?

Shortly after, the ambulance arrived.

Annette had already closed her eyes in exhaustion and fallen unconscious.

Ning Yichu had administered basic emergency measures to stop the bleeding earlier. Medical personnel lifted Annette onto the ambulance and rushed her to the hospital.

Ning Yichu decided to wait for news regarding Doctor Antony and did not follow them to the hospital.

After a long moment, Mo Baiyou and the others emerged from the alley.

She hurriedly ran toward them, asking anxiously, "How is he?"

Mo Baiyou pressed his thin lips tightly together and shook his head helplessly. "By the time we got there, Doctor Antony was already dead..."

"De... Dead?"

Ning Yichu wavered, clearly struggling to accept the reality.

Although Annette’s words had planted a sense of foreboding in her, she had refused to believe Doctor Antony would actually die!

A vibrant life, gone...

Just last night, they had been chatting with Doctor Antony...

"Stabbed over a dozen times—the assailant was clearly determined to finish the job."

Soon, police carried a body out from the alley, the scene heavy with sorrow.

Doctor Antony... was truly dead!

"Mr. Mo, Doctor Antony showed me great kindness. I want to visit Nurse Annette at the hospital first."

She must know something...

"I’ll go with you!"

Mo Baiyou had already been suspicious of that earlier hospital fire. Now, with such sudden developments, his doubts only deepened.

"Alright."

Ning Yichu nodded, quickly completed her statement with the police, and left with Mo Baiyou in haste.

...

The nearest private hospital was chosen to ensure Annette’s safety. She had been rushed to its emergency department.

Bright lights illuminated the corridor as a nurse carrying a sterilization tray dashed into the operating room, and Reykjavik police stood guard outside.

Tension filled the air.

Given that this had already escalated to a criminal case involving a fatality, protecting the sole survivor was of utmost importance.

"May I ask how Annette is doing?"

Upon arrival, Ning Yichu asked urgently, fearing any mishap.

The police replied truthfully, "The doctor just reported Annette has suffered major abdominal hemorrhaging and needs surgery—the specifics remain unclear."

Ning Yichu’s heart sank instantly, her brows furrowing deeply.

What truth could Doctor Antony have uncovered that made him the target of a chase?

It seemed evident—she needed to find time to visit Saint Lya Hospital.

"Chu Chu, I actually have a theory," Mo Baiyou said, observing Ning Yichu deep in thought. After a moment’s hesitation, he chose to speak.

Ning Yichu glanced at him. "What is it?"

"Have you considered that the assailants may not have been after Doctor Antony at all, but rather you?"

"...Me?"

"Back then, Doctor Antony was in charge of your prenatal care. It’s no coincidence, is it, that after your delivery, a fire broke out at the hospital? Could there be a connection between the two events?" Mo Baiyou prompted.

Ning Yichu’s breath hitched sharply.

She recalled Doctor Antony’s consistent concern and care for her over time.

She remembered how, when Ningning developed symptoms of leukemia later on, Doctor Antony had actively helped her search for a compatible donor, earning her gratitude and trust—she had never once suspected his motives.

Now, with Mo Baiyou’s suggestion, a thread in Ning Yichu’s mind suddenly connected.

How was it so coincidental that Doctor Antony was targeted right after seeing her...

But this had happened years ago, with Chen Bao and Ningning both safe now. Why would someone act like this now?

Was it to conceal something?

What did Antony and Annette know?!!

Could that fire back then... have been deliberate?

"I trust your instincts. I’ve simply been too unobservant all this time. Mr. Mo, I want to go to Saint Lya Hospital."

Even if Antony has met a tragic end, his computer might still contain some evidence.

Perhaps something could provide clues...

Mo Baiyou smirked faintly, "Alright, I’ll go with you."

But just then...

’Ring... Ring...’

The sudden ringing of Mo Baiyou’s phone shattered the quiet.

He answered, hearing his assistant’s panicked voice.

"Mr. Mo, bad news—Saint Lya Hospital’s records archive just caught fire. All the files were completely destroyed!"

"What?!"

Mo Baiyou’s expression changed drastically as he gripped his phone tightly.

He had only just begun investigating Ning Yichu’s childbirth event, yet things were already spiraling out of control!

"That’s not all—even the individuals involved from back then have all disappeared without a trace."

Thinking of Antony’s fate, it’s likely they faced dire circumstances.

"What does Saint Lya Hospital have to say?"

Ning Yichu perked up at the mention of the hospital’s name, her curiosity piqued—was Mo Baiyou also investigating past events?

The assistant replied, "They claimed this incident was caused by a faulty old electrical system in the archive room, leading to the sudden fire..."

Impossible.

How could such coincidences be real?

Cold resolve flashed through the depths of Mo Baiyou’s eyes. "Immediately assign someone to infiltrate the hospital and find out what’s really going on."

"Yes, Mr. Mo!"

After hanging up, Mo Baiyou met Ning Yichu’s confused gaze and didn’t hold back—he revealed everything.

"Chu Chu, I’ve always suspected the fire during your delivery wasn’t an accident. I assigned someone to investigate, but before we could uncover anything, someone burned down Saint Lya Hospital’s archive room, destroying all the records. Even the hospital staff who cared for you during your pregnancy have inexplicably vanished."

So now, Annette was the only person who still knew the truth?

"I don’t understand."

Ning Yichu said, "Even assuming they deliberately started the fire back then, why stop for so many years if they wanted us dead? Why resume now?"
