Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Four Tigresses of the Xiao Family (4)

He had always felt that this man was deep and unpredictable, especially when he smiled, he seemed even more sinister and cunning, like an old cat that calculated everything finely and spared no feelings, filled with biting sarcasm.

The Audi drove away.

Xiao Yebai’s hands were stuffed in his pockets as he watched the Audi disappear at the end of the road.

His eyes narrowed involuntarily as he recalled how she had reacted when he held her that evening, which seemed less intimate than he had imagined it would be with her previous boyfriend.

Could it be, the kiss she gave him last time, was also her first kiss?

He suddenly felt a mix of emotions. His fingers touched the cellphone in his pocket and pulled it out to dial a number.

"Fourth Brother, where are you? I saw the text you sent me."

He was calling Zhan Dapeng.

Zhan Dapeng said, "I was taking Commissioner Tang back when I heard on the road that Team Leader Fang had an accident. Later, Commissioner Tang and I rushed to the hospital where Team Leader Fang was taken."

Fang Yongxing had just left the hospital parking lot after visiting the hospitalized worker, Amo, when his car collided with an oncoming truck.

Seeing that it was a serious accident, the truck, which seemed to have an out-of-town license plate, fled the scene.

Fortunately, the fire department arrived quickly and rescued Fang Yongxing from the crushed front of the car while he was still breathing. The ambulance took him to the nearest hospital for a check-up, where they found fractures in his left lower leg and arm.

Because Fang Yongxing was in hemorrhagic shock upon arrival at the hospital, he was taken straight to the operating room for emergency treatment.

It was already eight or nine o’clock at night by the time the hospital and police department identified him and notified the Changda Group.

"Director Chen just happened to be working overtime at the office." Zhan Dapeng continued to explain the situation, "After hearing the news, Director Chen immediately took people to the hospital to handle it. I had no choice but to drop Commissioner Tang off at the hospital entrance and let her go in alone. Otherwise, Director Chen would definitely be suspicious. I told Commissioner Tang not to say anything extra and to first see how Team Leader Fang was."

After listening to him, Xiao Yebai calmly said, "Drive here to pick me up first."

"Second Brother?" Zhan Dapeng indeed expressed surprise, "Aren’t you accompanying your wife tonight?"

"Don’t mention it," Xiao Yebai exhaled a breath of frustration, "Tonight was unlucky enough. Ran into an unwelcome visitor. I’m afraid if I linger too long with your sister-in-law, that tigress is sure to investigate."

For the time being, he didn’t want to completely provoke Xiao Shulan. Because this tigress of the Xiao Family, Xiao Shulan, was one who thrived in chaos.

If not implemented within his well-laid plans, any interference by Xiao Shulan was definitely undesirable.

Zhan Dapeng understood his meaning and was also shocked, "It’s already two o’clock now, what is she doing at the hospital?"

"Need you ask?" Xiao Yebai snorted coldly, "Trouble comes, and she’s right there at the hospital. She claims it’s to visit my hospitalized brother-in-law, but you tell me who’s to blame?"

Zhan Dapeng felt a chill upon hearing his words.

Reflecting on it, if it had been someone’s intentional act, involving Gu Nuan in this mess, but she ended up unharmed, was truly very fortunate.

The Audi drove down the highway, surrounded by endless night.

Gu Nuan’s body leaned against the cold car window.

Having just taken the cold medicine prescribed by Dr. Tang, she felt drowsy. The breeze from a crack in the window made her more alert.

Troubling thoughts intertwined in her mind, preventing her from resting peacefully.

Thinking that he didn’t accompany her home tonight, it was probably because of that woman.
