"Master Li, are you going back?" Yue Yong followed suit and pressed the button for the elevator.
The place he was talking about was naturally Miss Lin's house.
Quan JIngli frowned but didn't say anything.
The image of that little girl baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at him continuously appeared in her mind. Why did she feel that she was somewhat adorable now that she thought of it?
He said a few words only after they got into the car, "Let's go to the hospital first!"
"It's Grandpa Li!" With a destination in mind, Yue Yong's speed naturally increased by a lot.
Anyway, the hospital and Miss Lin's home were in the same direction.
In the empty corridor, a few men in black kept watch twenty-four hours a day. This was also what Quan JIngli had instructed him to do. Even if Old Man Quan no longer had such an appearance, he still didn't feel at ease.
He was afraid that someone would do something behind his back.
The lunatic had threatened to make a move on his family and give him a taste of losing them.
Furthermore, he still hadn't figured out why Old Man Quan would faint. It was impossible for such a healthy person to have a sudden illness. There had to be something else he didn't know.
There must be a deep secret behind all this. If Old Man Quan was really plotted against by someone, then it was very likely that the other party was the mastermind behind the control of the stock market this time around, as well as secretly buying shares.
A person with such temperament might be hidden deep within the Quan family. However, he had thought about the people from the Quan family for a long time, but still couldn't think of who had such a profound scheme.
If it really was someone from the Quan family, that could only mean that they had been hiding it too deeply. She had been fooled for so long.
The two of them pushed open the door and entered. Old Man Quan seemed to have heard the commotion as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Dad, I'm here." Quan Jian Li walked over to the bedside and sat down, gently holding Old Man Quan's aged hand.
Having grown up so much, he only had the authority to be so intimate with the old tutor during his stay in the hospital. Before this, the two of them were like two icebergs, neither willing to be melted by the other.
"Ugh …" "Ugh …" Old Man Quan tightly grasped his hand as tears streamed down his face.
It was just a few days, but he already felt like he was spending it like a year.
Only when one was old would one know who was the one who truly cared about him.
The father and son duo, who were bad with words to begin with, looked at each other speechlessly as they cried.
"Alright dad, this will harm your body." Quan Jianli pulled out a tissue and dried his father's tears. Such intimate actions made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
Old Man Quan blinked and understood what he meant. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the pink carnations on the bedside table. "Mom …" "Mom …"
"What did you say?" If he did not hear wrongly, it was as if he heard his mother's words from his father?
"Master Li, the old man must want to talk about the flowers, right?" Yue Yong seemed to have guessed Old Man Quan's intention as he reminded him.
Only then did Quan Jian Li set her gaze on the pink carnations.
It was a small bouquet, and it emitted a faint fragrance that was very pleasing to the eyes.
His heart skipped a beat. The only person who could give him such a flower was probably that little girl, right?
"Dad, do you like it?" His slender knuckles gently caressed the bouquet of carnations, as if caressing the soft hair of that little woman. His eyes were filled with gentleness.
"Mm …" Old Man Quan once again spoke in a vague manner.
Yue Yong was also slightly stunned for a moment. He hadn't thought that there would be such a flat conversation between Grandpa Li and Grandpa Li. He hadn't thought that the old man Quan, who usually didn't like these gaudy things, would accept such a bunch of flowers as well?
Who sent this flower here?
Seeing Master Li's expression, it seemed like he already knew about it. It would be better to ask Master Li about it later.
"As long as you like it." In the end, Quan Jian Li still had nothing to say. She quietly sat on the bed and looked at the old man on the bed. Perhaps, just by looking at them like this, the two of them would be able to understand each other's intentions?
"Ugh …" Small... "Little..." Old Man Quan suddenly stuttered as he became a bit agitated. Ye Zichen stared straight at the sofa.
Quan Jian Li didn't understand what he was saying, but she followed his gaze.
When he saw the newspaper on the sofa, his face immediately turned dark.
At this time, Yue Yong also discovered that something was wrong. He hurriedly walked over and picked up the newspaper. When he saw the huge title on it, his expression changed greatly. Master Li, how did this happen? "
The huge cover of the newspaper was a burnt ruin. And the title was, 'Quan's Blood Family', 'Fire and Death'.
He hurriedly read through the contents of the report. It was nothing more than an introduction on how his aunt had escaped from an influential family and lived a leisurely life in the forest with her lover.
In the end, they were framed by someone who wanted to accompany them and turn them into ashes.
Pow!
Quan Jian Li heavily threw the newspaper on the sofa with an extremely gloomy expression. Who was it that dared to brazenly do such a thing!?
Yue Yong also had a worried look on his face. "Master Li, I've clearly already suppressed the news. Besides the few of us here, no one else would know about it that day …"
Those he had sent after the incident were absolutely loyal and reliable. There was no way they would leak the news.
However, this news had really appeared in the newspapers, and it was even faster than them!
"Master Li, the newspapers are sold every morning at 8: 30 AM on time, and the publication needs to be done the night before. At the latest, it has to wait until dawn. "Could it be that someone had already predicted that the villa would catch on fire before the accident happened?" Yue Yong analyzed the time as he looked at the newspaper.
Quan Jian Li frowned. How could he not know about this?
"Looks like the other party came prepared. Search! "Find the person who sold the information to the media, that is, the murderer!" Quan Jian Li gnashed her teeth. Although her aunt's death wasn't because of the fire, he still had to blame it on the murderer who set the fire.
Moreover, there was something very strange about this. Since this news had come out in advance, how did the other party know that something would happen to my aunt?
Could it be that the other party knows about my illness as well? Or could it be that the other party was planning to set the fire to his aunt and burn her alive? However, their appearance was just a sudden incident.
The other side had never expected them to appear, so they had not had the time to change their plans.
In the end, the fire and the report went according to plan, and my aunt's death was a coincidence?
No matter what, this was too bizarre. Especially since the man who set the fire was able to do such a meticulous and crazy thing, it was undoubtedly similar to the madman.
"It's Master Li. I'll go and investigate immediately. Who brought this newspaper in!?" Yue Yong said.
If the news of the fire in the house and the death of his sister-in-law were to be published, it would not be the end of it. What was more brilliant was that he had to tell this news to Old Man Quan, causing his heart to ache even more. This would cause his emotions to become unstable, and his body would be even more unable to recover.
It really was a cruel revenge!
Quan Jian gritted her teeth as she made a gurgling sound and slightly nodded her head.
Yue Yong then went out to inquire.
Quan Jian Li put away the gloominess on her face and returned to the bed once again. Old Man Quan was still eagerly looking at him, waiting for an explanation.
"Dad, I'm sorry …" Quan Jian Li's voice was a bit hoarse, "I know that you want me to tell you that this news is false. However … That was the truth. Little Aunt, she … He did leave … But not because of the fire. I was there the night of the fire. When I rushed to rescue my aunt, she had already lost her breath. But don't worry, she left safely, without a shred of pain … I have already ordered some people to bury my aunt properly. When you have recovered, can we go and see my aunt together? "
He knew that although Old Man Quan was pained that his aunt wasn't able to live up to his expectations, he still wanted to escape from the family for the sake of a man he had no power or influence with.
But in the end, those were only his little sisters. When he was older, he still thought about his aunt in his heart.
Old Man Quan once again burst into tears, his eyes blood-red.
No one knew what he was thinking in his heart, but looking at his tears, they could understand that the current Old Man Quan was only an older brother who had lost his younger sister …
Without saying anything else, Quan JIngli sat quietly by the side, hoping that Old Man Quan would quickly calm down.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, his bloodshot eyes finally blinked, signalling for him to leave.
"Alright, I'll be going first dad. Have a good rest."
"Mm …"
Old Man Quan nodded with some difficulty.
Quan Jian carefully helped Old Man Quan cover himself with the blanket before turning around and leaving.
Perhaps it would be better to leave him alone at this time.
The corridor was still very quiet. This was also the reason why Quan Jian Li chose to live on this floor.
He had always disliked being disturbed by people who had nothing to do with him.
The few men in black seemed to have done something wrong, not daring to speak.
Frowning, he leaned against the window in the corridor, lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and pushed the window open.
Immediately, a gust of fresh air floated in.
Perhaps because of the heavy snow, the air had become a lot more moist.
Furthermore, it was no longer as cold as it was a few days ago.
Spring is coming, isn't it?
However, his spring had already come to an end.
The matter of Mo'er, the wedding with Dia'er, his father's illness, the unsettling factors in the company, and the people behind it all made him feel uneasy …
Why did all this happen at the same time? Was there some necessary connection?
There was also the matter of Mo'er's mother. She once said that her mother's car accident was not as simple as an accident …
All the arrows were pointed at the madman. However, if all of this was caused by that madman, then it seemed a little too exaggerated.
He was just a fugitive, how could he stir up such a storm?
He suddenly saw a bouquet of pink carnations in front of him. His eyes dimmed as he unknowingly entered the elevator.
When he finally reacted, he was already standing outside the other ward.
Pushing the door open, he saw that the old man was still lying there peacefully, as if he was only sleeping.
Merle was not there.
In his heart, there was actually a deep sense of loss.
