“Hey, Dad!” The caller was Jiang Li’s father, Jiang Youdao.

“What took you so long to answer? Did I interrupt your shining moment?” Hearing this, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.

“Dad, not at all. We just got back home with Jiang Li, so I got held up for a bit. Is there something you need?” Zhou Chao quickly changed the subject, getting to the point.

“It sounds like I called at the wrong time?” Jiang Youdao’s voice raised a notch.

Although Zhou Chao knew Jiang Youdao was joking, he still said with a wry smile, “Dad, you can call anytime.”

“You rascal. Today, I’m calling to scold you. Running around with Jiang Li like that, don’t you know she should stay at home and take care of herself now that she’s pregnant? If anything happens, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

Listening to these stern words, yet with obvious concern, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but chuckle.

“You’re still laughing. Make sure Jiang Li returns to Jingdu as soon as possible and give her some lessons while you’re at it. It’s your mother’s arrangement.” UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Knowing it was a command from his mother, Zhou Chao couldn’t refuse. After all, Jiang Li should go back and take care of herself properly.

“Got it, Dad. Tomorrow I’ll arrange for a plane to send Jiang Li back.”

“Mm, putting Jiang Li’s matters aside, now let’s talk about you. You’re getting more and more capable, stirring up a storm across the city and even getting Li Lao to step in. It seems you’ve really made a name for yourself.”

“Heh, Dad, it’s not as good as you say.”

Zhou Chao’s laughter even amused Jiang Youdao, “You think I’m praising you? Have you forgotten what you did before? Now that you’re making a name for yourself, aren’t you afraid of what those people might think of you?”

Hearing Jiang Youdao’s words, Zhou Chao’s smile faded instantly. “Dad, I understand now. Playing dumb can only last for so long. Sometimes, you have to showyour edge; otherwise, everyone will think I’m easy to bully.”

Jiang Youdao remained silent for a while. Zhou Chao stood at the door, holding his phone straight. After a long pause, Jiang Youdao spoke again, “I haven’t misjudged you. Go ahead and boldly pursue anything that benefits the country and the people. Even if there’s pressure from overseas, there will be taller people to support you. Rest assured!”

“Got it, Dad!” Zhou Chao’s mind was suddenly filled with ideas, understanding things he hadn’t before. Li Lao’s visit now had a reasonable explanation. Maybe he had really caught someone’s eye.

“Well, that’s enough. I won’t say more. You know which path to take. Remember to have Jiang Li return to Jingdu tomorrow!” With that, Jiang Youdao hung up before Zhou Chao could respond.

Zhou Chao looked at the disconnected phone, shook his head with a smile, and then turned to walk back into the house.

As he entered, he saw Jiang Li sitting on the sofa, playing with her phone and enjoying some fruit, looking relaxed and carefree.

“Done so quickly? I thought you two were going to chat for a while!” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao, who had just walked in, with some surprise.

Zhou Chao sat beside Jiang Li and pulled her into his arms. “It was just a small matter. Oh, Dad told me to send you back. He said running around with me all day isn’t good for the baby’s development.”

Hearing Lin Wu’s words, Jiang Li and Ling Chen regained some spirit.

“You mean the boss is fine?” Ling Chen quickly recovered and stared at Lin Wu with determination.

Lin Wu nodded. “The boss is currently in a state of unconsciousness. I just checked him, and his pulse is strong, but I don’t know why he’s unconscious.”

Just then, Liu Zhi ran over. “The ambulance is here!”

Two medical staff, escorted by a group of bodyguards, entered with a stretcher.

“Jiang Li, the boss will be fine. Let’s go to the hospital first,” Ling Chen said, looking at Jiang Li, who looked exhausted.

“Okay,” Jiang Li nodded.

Lin Wu picked up Zhou Chao and placed him on the stretcher. Then, they pushed him out. Jiang Li quickly followed.

Seeing the three maidservants, Ling Chen said sternly, “No one is allowed to spread what happened today. Stay here until the boss wakes up.”

After finishing speaking, Ling Chen walked out. Passing by the bodyguards, he muttered a few words, and two of them stayed behind. The rest followed Ling Chen out of the villa.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, in the high-level VIP ward of Modu Zhongshan Hospital, Jiang Li sat quietly on a chair, staring blankly at Zhou Chao, who was still unconscious on the bed.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Ling Chen and Lin Wu walked in, followed by several people wearing white coats. If there were hospital staff here, they would have noticed that the hospital’s director and several department heads were here.

“Director Ling, after our professional examination, we preliminarily concluded that this patient is simply unconscious, with no internal injuries, including in the brain. As for why he’s unconscious, we’re not sure at the moment,” the hospital director said cautiously, afraid of causing trouble. After all, there were more than a dozen bodyguards in the corridor outside.

At this moment, the hospital director also realized who the person lying in the bed was. If things weren’t handled properly, he might have to go back to farming tomorrow.

“Doctor, do you know when he will wake up?” Jiang Li’s eyes were already swollen from crying.

The hospital director and several department heads glanced at each other, somewhat uneasy. “He might wake up later, or...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ling Chen interrupted, “That’s enough. You all can leave!”

The hospital director and his colleagues quickly fled from the ward.

“Jiang Li!”

“I’m fine, Brother Ling Chen.” Jiang Li forced a smile and shook her head, but tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Zhou Chao.

Seeing this, Lin Wu bit his lip and said, “Should we call Instructor Xiao Yang and see if they have any solutions?”

“Yes, I’ll call my dad. He’ll definitely know what to do.” Jiang Li felt like she had grasped a lifesaving straw and quickly took out her phone from her pocket.

Just as Jiang Li was about to make the call, she heard a slightly weary voice saying, “No need to make the call. I’m fine!”
