Rong Tianshi had been moved to a special ward, with Mrs. Rong Sr. and others trailing behind him, calling out anxiously.

The doctor appeared irked. “The patient is lightly conscious, but he shouldn’t be strained or disturbed. Please keep it down.”

“All right, all right, we’ll listen to you,” Mrs. Rong Sr. quickly nodded and zipped her lips.

Outside the room, Mrs. Rong Sr. led the way with Wang Qing and Rong Feiyu. As soon as the doctor stepped out, they elbowed Rong Qi out of the room without a second thought.

Glancing sideways at her, Mrs. Rong Sr. warned, “Didn’t you hear the doctor? Tianshi needs peace and quiet. You’d best wait out here.”

With that, Mrs. Rong Sr., Wang Qing, and Rong Feiyu entered the room, slamming the door shut behind them. Rong Qi wore a wry smile, and leaning against the wall, took her position in the hallway. Xu Yi was infuriated beyond words. However, both of them turned to see two people approaching down the hall.

Ye Nanshen walked casually, hand in pocket, leading Rong Qi to a chair. The subdued lighting of the corridor cast a serene yet chilling aura around him. Dressed impeccably in a suit, he looked like he’d rushed over from the office.

“How is he?” Ye Nanshen asked.

Rong Qi frowned. “He’s awake. Just got out of the ICU.”

Ye Nanshen nodded. “I’ve sent people to investigate the accident scene. The driver who caused it ran off, but catching him shouldn’t be too hard.”

“Okay,” was all Rong Qi replied, her face unreadable.

Lu Chengzhou shot her a puzzled look. “Aren’t you family? Why aren’t you going in?”

Before Lu Chengzhou could finish, a wailing sound came from inside the room.

“My son! What happened to you? Open your eyes and look at me!”

Lu Chengzhou was stunned. That squawk could’ve convinced him ducks had invaded the hospital.

Inside the ward, Rong Tianshi struggled to open his eyes. His legs and arms had been fixed with metal plates, and a neck brace rendered him immobile. His complexion was ghostly pale, and every movement seemed to be a herculean task.

Mrs. Rong Sr. was wiping her tears at the bedside. Strangely, that brought a perverse sense of pleasure to Wang Qing’s heart. She had suffered much at the hands of the bitter Mrs. Rong Sr. over the years. Seeing her like that was almost gratifying for Wang Qing.

If not for the secret family wealth that Rong Tianshi had promised to Mrs. Rong Sr., Wang Qing would have kicked her out long ago. Wang Qing had thought that if Rong Tianshi died, she could swindle the assets to herself. However, upon bringing Mrs. Rong Sr. back, Wang Qing found out that only Rong Tianshi knew the password to the safe and the location of the assets. All Mrs. Rong Sr. had was a worthless key.

Wang Qing clenched her teeth in rage, cursing her own luck. Even fate seemed to conspire against her. Just when it seemed Rong Tianshi was on the brink of death, everyone was hell-bent on saving him. She quickly masked the spite in her eyes as she looked at him.

Wearied from his recent consciousness, Rong Tianshi felt like he was surrounded by buzzing flies. It was highly irritating.

Not wanting to endure the sappy mother-son reunion, Wang Qing seized the opportunity. She proposed, “Mother, Tianshi is barely conscious. We should get to the point and ask him about the matters we’re concerned about.”

Nodding eagerly, Mrs. Rong Sr. agreed, “Yes, you’re right. I’ll ask him right now.”

Mrs. Rong Sr. approached the bed and queried, “Tianshi, do you remember the assets you promised me when you sent me back to the countryside all those years ago? Where are they? What does this key you gave me mean?”

Rong Tianshi looked at Mrs. Rong Sr. with a bewildered expression, his mouth opening and closing, unable to find the words to respond.

Seeing that, Wang Qing promptly signaled to Rong Feiyu..
