Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Kidnapping

Fu Shinian received the news of Su Mu’s accident while he was in his office conducting an international video conference. Song Yi rushed in hurriedly, forgetting even to knock, his tense expression causing Fu Shinian to furrow his brows slightly. He said something to the other party in fluent and pure English, then muted the call and looked at Song Yi:

"Speak."

"Mrs. Fu has had an accident."

Fu Shinian closed the laptop and stood up from behind his desk: "What happened?"

"Mrs. Fu went to the old residence in the afternoon, stayed for over an hour, then left. Leaving with her was Miss Fu. She drove Mrs. Fu to the Peninsula Hotel in the city center. The person following them thought it was a family affair, and since it was on their own territory, they didn’t give it much thought. It was only after they didn’t see anyone come out for a long time that they called me to report it."

"Idiot!"

Fu Shinian strode towards the door, with Song Yi following closely behind, silently praying that nothing serious had befallen Mrs. Fu. After all, it was his own failure to instruct the followers to be wary of Su Shiyue properly. He’d thought he was doing the right thing; after all, the spectacle of a younger sister-in-law going against the elder was not a good look for the Fu family. However, he hadn’t expected such a grave mistake to occur.

Wei Shaoqin was anything but gentle as he shoved Su Mu into the back seat, who still wouldn’t settle down and even seemed inclined to strip herself. Standing at the car door with arms crossed, Wei Shaoqin watched her wriggle, and bizarrely, the image of zombies from American TV series popped into his mind.

To avoid any untoward advances from her during the drive, Wei Shaoqin took off his own tie, quickly tied her hands together, and then secured them to the handle above the rear car door. Satisfied that she could no longer interfere with him as she twisted and turned, Wei Shaoqin finally closed the door of the rear seat and got into the driver’s seat.

The car sped all the way to the hospital. Originally, Su Mu being drugged would have been an issue for the emergency department, and Qiao Yu would not have been involved. However, Qiao Yu happened to be at the emergency department for a consultation. When he saw Wei Shaoqin carrying a woman in rather ungentlemanly fashion, he couldn’t help but notice, but upon a closer look, Su Mu?

He hurriedly scurried over.

"What’s happened here?"

Wei Shaoqin casually tossed Su Mu onto a hospital bed and turned to see Qiao Yu, not helping but smile: "Young Master Qiao, you should know this person, right?"

"I know her," Qiao Yu replied handling the situation, hurriedly checking on Su Mu. With one glance, he recognized what the issue was, then couldn’t help feeling a sigh of exasperation in his heart. He wondered what curse had been cast upon this couple that they kept being drugged one after another, always ending up involving him.

Qiao Yu looked at Wei Shaoqin:

"How did Mr. Wei and Su Mu come across each other?"

"What you want to ask is whether I drugged her, right?"

Qiao Yu smiled faintly:

"I trust it was not Mr. Wei. If Mr. Wei had used such a lowly tactic, he wouldn’t have brought Su Mu to the hospital."

But it was undeniable that Qiao Yu did indeed see Wei Shaoqin in a new light. He had heard of Wei Shaoqin’s attitude towards Su Mu, and no matter who created today’s situation, it presented a great opportunity for Wei Shaoqin. Yet, despite having such a good opportunity in front of him, not only did he not exploit it, he tied Su Mu up and brought her to the hospital, which was truly unexpected.

"Is Young Master Qiao sure he wants to discuss this here with me? I think Su Mu is about to faint."

Qiao Yu smiled faintly, excused himself, and signaled the nurse to take Su Mu away, only to run into Jiang Bei head-on.

When Jiang Bei heard from the nurses that it seemed Su Mu had been brought to the emergency room, she rushed over. Just as she saw Qiao Yu about to take Su Mu away, she stopped by the bed, looked up, and asked, "Can’t she be stomach pumped in the emergency room? Where does Doctor Qiao intend to take Su Mu?"

Qiao Yu smiled lightly:

"Compared to something as uncomfortable as stomach pumping, I think traditional methods are better."

Wei Shaoqin, "...You don’t mean to call Fu Shinian, do you?"

Qiao Yu did not deny it.

Wei Shaoqin felt he had come to the wrong hospital. From the moment he had seen Su Mu, Wei Shaoqin had not considered using the "traditional method" that Qiao Yu was talking about. Otherwise, he would not have been irritated by Su Mu without any outlet to vent his frustration. He had never even thought about calling Fu Shinian, because in this lifetime, Wei Shaoqin could never bring himself to hand over the woman he fancied to another man.

So he came to the hospital, but not wanting to call Fu Shinian seemed to be making no difference at all.

Jiang Bei, "Qiao Yu, you are a doctor after all. When patients are brought to the hospital, they need to be treated. What dirty thoughts are you harboring in your mind!"

When Wei Shaoqin heard this, he looked toward Jiang Bei. This doctor, not tall but stunningly handsome, had spoken the words he himself wanted to say. He couldn’t help but take a very good liking to Jiang Bei.

But Qiao Yu did not back down:

"Doctor Jiang, you have also seen the state Su Mu is in now. Do you think a simple stomach pump will solve the problem? She has completely absorbed the poison since she took it. Stomach pumping will not solve the fundamental issue."

Jiang Bei was just about to retort when a quick succession of footsteps in the emergency room interrupted, and someone shouted:

"Doctor Jiang, a three-year-old child accidentally got a pencil through his face, you need to come quickly."

Jiang Bei bit his teeth, glared fiercely at Qiao Yu, then turned and left. Wei Shaoqin felt as if he had been stood up, his disappointment was palpable. He watched as Qiao Yu prepared to leave, "She’s just leaving? Not going to argue with you anymore?"

Qiao Yu smiled faintly:

"She knows I won’t harm Su Mu."

Fu Shinian had just arrived at the Peninsula Hotel when Qiao Yu’s call came through, concise and to the point:

"Su Mu is with me."

Fu Shinian stopped getting out of the car and ordered coldly, "To the hospital!"

On the way, Fu Shinian received a message from Qiao Yu directing him to the Fu family’s private hospital room. Honestly, at that moment, Fu Shinian did not feel well. The tone of Qiao Yu’s message made him sense the seriousness of the situation, to the extent that he dared not inquire about what exactly had happened to Su Mu.

If something had happened that he could not fix... Fu Shinian did not want to think further, just commanded without a trace of warmth:

"Faster!"

Song Yi was sitting in the passenger seat, not daring to breathe too loudly. He had guessed that Mrs. Fu had already arrived at the hospital and could tell from Mr. Fu’s expression that nothing good had happened. He felt like he would not see the sun tomorrow.

Fu Shinian hurried to the private ward on the top floor and unexpectedly found the entire floor deserted. Though this floor was exclusively for the Fu family, usually there wouldn’t be no one around. He was about to call Qiao Yu when he saw the message from Qiao Yu sent five minutes ago:

Ward No. 1.
