Little Lu calmly raised a hand to indicate for the short-haired lady to wipe the table before walking towards a secluded spot. “Okay! I got it. How’s his current condition?”
“President Lu was in the backseat, reading documents. He didn’t buckle his seatbelt. In order to avoid the lady who suddenly rushed to the front of the car, the driver slammed the steering wheel and collided with the approaching car. President Lu… isn’t in good condition! They’re rushing him to the hospital right now!”
Other than Lu Jinnan’s assistant’s voice, there was also the sound of ambulance sirens in the background.
“I got it! I’ll inform Mr. Fu immediately! Don’t inform Mrs. Lu yet. Mrs. Lu is in a crucial stage of pregnancy, so she can’t be agitated. Let’s wait for Mr. and Mrs. Fu to discuss this before making a decision!” Little Lu hung up the call in the stairwell. He wasn’t in a hurry to go in to look for Fu Huai’an. Instead, he asked the people assigned to protect Lu Jinnan if they had discovered traces of Maynard Sanchez’s men.
Instead, they told him the accident was caused by Cai Jingyao.
Little Lu frowned, his heart burning with rage.
After hanging up the call, he walked towards the chairman’s office. Mu Taotao, who was standing at the chairman’s secretary’s office, looked at the dark-faced Little Lu and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Little Lu didn’t say anything. He walked straight to Fu Huai’an’s office, knocked on the door, and entered!
The other staff members who weren’t busy walked out and asked Mu Taotao, “What’s the matter?”
Mu Taotao shrugged and shook her head. “I don’t know!”
…
In the office, Little Lu told Fu Huai’an about Lu Jinnan’s accident, and Lin Nuan’s face turned pale.
“I’ve already asked. They said Cai Jingyao suddenly rushed to the front of the car, causing the driver to turn around and collide with the incoming car opposite him. Moreover… President Lu is sitting in the backseat and doesn’t have his seatbelt buckled!” Little Lu frowned.
Flames of fury rose in Lin Nuan’s heart. She forced herself to calm down. Right now… the most important thing was Bai Xiaonian!
Bai Xiaonian was highly pregnant now. If Bai Xiaonian were to find out that something had happened to Lu Jinnan, how could Bai Xiaonian take it?
“I’ve already asked President Lu’s assistant to keep this information from Mrs. Lu for the time being. However, I’m afraid we won’t be able to do it for long. Sir and Madam, please decide what to do about this,” Little Lu said.
Fu Huai’an looked at Lin Nuan. If someone had to tell Bai Xiaonian, then Lin Nuan was the most suitable candidate for it. He told her, “For now, it’s best not to tell Bai Xiaonian anything yet. Let Mu Taotao send you there. You can bring Bai Xiaonian to the Fu residence! Only tell Bai Xiaonian the truth after Lu Jinnan is out of critical condition.”
Lin Nuan clenched her fists, then let out a long exhale…
She knew that Fu Huai’an was right. After nodding, she expressed her concerns, “Bringing Xiaonian over to our house is not an issue. But before Lu Jinnan left, he’d called Xiaonian to tell her that he was going home. If I asked her to come with me to the Fu residence when Lu Jinnan isn’t even back yet… Huai’an, Xiaonian is an especially smart girl… she’ll definitely sense something unusual has happened!”
Fu Huai’an nodded.
Lin Nuan felt worried for Lu Jinnan and worried about Bai Xiaonian. She was panicking.
Especially now.
Lin Nuan had cursed Cai Jingyao more than a thousand times in her heart, but she knew that it was useless. After forcing herself to sit on the sofa and calm down, Lin Nuan thought of a solution.
“How about this? Huai’an, please don’t return home before Lu Jinnan is out of critical condition. I’ll take Xiaonian to our house with an excuse that you and Lu Jinnan had to leave unexpectedly to take care of a crucial company matter. I’ll then use Lu Jinnan’s phone to send Xiaonian a message. I’ll tell Xiaonian that since it’s not convenient for you guys to call, I can’t contact you either and that you’ve also only sent me a message. This way, Xiaonian won’t be suspicious…”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “That’s not difficult to do.”
“Sir, then… how should we deal with Cai Jingyao?” Little Lu asked.
When Lin Nuan heard this name, she raised her head… Little Lu saw a murderous look in her usually gentle eyes.
Fu Huai’an got up, picked up his suit jacket, and put it on. “Think of a way to detain her secretly and interrogate her properly… See if she was somehow connected to Maynard Sanchez. Ask Tang Zheng not to be stingy with his methods!”
There wasn’t a hint of emotion in Fu Huai’an’s voice. His cold and calm voice sent chills down one’s spine.
Fu Huai’an’s intentions were clear—Cai Jingyao was probably going to die a horrible death!
“I understand!” Little Lu nodded.
Fu Huai’an walked to Lin Nuan and grabbed her shoulders. “I’ll go to the hospital to see Lu Jinnan. I’ll leave Bai Xiaonian to you! I know you came over to ask me about what’s happening, but I don’t have the time to explain things to you. When Lu Jinnan’s condition stabilizes, I’ll explain it to you properly! Okay?”
Although Fu Huai’an didn’t take the initiative to tell Lin Nuan, he didn’t intend to keep it from her or lie to her.
At this point, Lin Nuan didn’t want to add to Fu Huai’an’s troubles. Knowing that Fu Huai’an was worried about Lu Jinnan, she didn’t keep him there any longer. She nodded and bent over to pick up her bag. “Go to the hospital. I’ll go to Xiaonian’s place! It’s not convenient for you to call me once you know more about Lu Jinnan’s condition. Just send me a WeChat message, or call Taotao!”
“En! Don’t worry!” Fu Huai’an pinched Lin Nuan’s shoulders.
The couple left the Kaide Corporation building together. One went to Bai Xiaonian’s place, while the other rushed to the hospital.
…
Bai Xiaonian had no idea what happened, but she had been restlessly tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. Perhaps it was a side effect of pregnancy, but her heart was in a mess. After letting her thoughts run wild for a while, she called her father. Knowing that her father was fine, Bai Xiaonian hung up the call in relief, but her anxiety didn’t lessen at all.
She got up to lower the temperature of the air conditioner. But she was still feeling hot, especially when she heard the noise from outside. Everything annoyed her.
She called her father again to tell him that she wanted to go back tomorrow to check on him before she headed downstairs to the kitchen to drink some water.
It was the usual time for Bai Xiaonian to take a nap. The servants who had been taking care of her at home were quietly staying in their own rooms. When they heard Bai Xiaonian coming downstairs, they hurriedly asked, “Madam, what do you need?”
“I want to drink some water. It’ll cool me down!” Bai Xiaonian held onto the railing with one hand and patted her chest with the other, feeling suffocated.
“Is Madam feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?” the servant asked anxiously.
Bai Xiaonian shook her head. “I’ll see how I feel after I have a glass of water. If it doesn’t get better, I’ll go to the hospital with Jinnan later when he comes back!”
Bai Xiaonian sat on the sofa. This feeling reminded her of the year her mother got into an accident…
It was also summer, and Bai Xiaonian felt uneasy while sitting in the classroom. The teacher told her to stand outside the classroom.
It was a sunny day, and the sun was high up in the sky. Bai Xiaonian couldn’t forget the annoying cries from the towering tree.
