"Madam, at the hospital," the assistant quickly provided the hospital address and floor number.
Jin Yan hung up the phone rapidly, looking at Jiang Nuan with anxiety. "Nuan Nuan, hurry and come with Mom to the hospital. Your dad had a car accident."
Jiang Nuan was also very nervous. "Okay! Mom, wait for me for a moment. I'll go back and get the medicine box."
"Oh, oh, then be careful," Jin Yan was flustered and somewhat lost.
Jiang Nuan felt very worried. She ran back to her room as fast as she could.
After grabbing the medicine box, she quickly went downstairs.
Jin Yan also came out in a hurry with her bag. "Nuan Nuan, the driver is not at home today."
Jiang Nuan walked over, supporting her as they went outside.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll drive."
"Oh, oh!" Jin Yan's eyes were red. "I don't know how badly your dad is injured. He was fine when he went out this morning, how did he end up in the hospital?"
Jin Yan's voice trembled, and Jiang Nuan's heart trembled along with it.
She had finally managed to have a happy family. Her parents must not have any accidents.
Jiang Nuan patiently comforted her mother. "Mom, Dad will be fine. Don't worry, let's go first."
She needed to be calm to reassure her anxious mother.
"Okay, okay, okay." Jin Yan nodded repeatedly, but Jiang Nuan knew that her mother's mind was blank at this moment; she would agree to anything.
This is how people in love are. Once they hear that the other person is in trouble, they become flustered. Only they know that kind of fear.
Jiang Nuan went to the garage and drove out the car. After helping her mother into the car, they headed to the hospital.
The mother and daughter rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible. The assistant informed them of the operating room's location, and the mother and daughter hurried over.
"Mu Ting, what happened to my husband?" Jin Yan looked at Assistant Li Mu Ting nervously.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and her hands trembled slightly.
Li Mu Ting comforted her. "Madam, please don't worry. The Chairman just hit his head. It's nothing serious. The brakes on the car malfunctioned halfway there. It happened to be on a downhill slope. The Chairman was sitting in the back and hit his head. He needed a few stitches on his forehead, and he'll be out soon. It was just a scare."
"Hoo..."
Jin Yan and Jiang Nuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Nuan was a bit confused. "How did the car's brakes suddenly malfunction? Wasn't it sent for inspection?"
Li Mu Ting also found it very strange. He thought about it; the car was newly bought, but it had been sent for inspection once.
"Young Miss, I sent the car for inspection a week ago, and there were no issues. Moreover, this car is a new vehicle that the Chairman configured after the start of the year. Its safety features are much improved compared to the previous one. It's impossible for the brakes to malfunction so easily. I've already asked the appraisal agency to tow it for an inspection. Recently, Lu Corporation has been bidding for a major project, and a competitor is also competing with us. It's likely that the competitor is behind this."
Jiang Nuan's brows furrowed. If that were the case, it was possible.
Jiang Nuan asked again, "Who is Lu Corporation's competitor?"
Li Mu Ting did not conceal anything. "Rui Bo Group. It's a company that suddenly went public a year ago and is very strong. This project is a national development project. The original route is all scenic areas. The Chairman wants to win this bid and develop a resort along the Longxi River. This resort will bring a lot of profit. We noticed this project a year ago and have been tracking it ever since."
"Recently, all the small companies have been eliminated, and only our two companies are still bidding. The person in charge proposed a selection process: whoever has a better plan will be chosen."
Jiang Nuan also wanted to understand this matter to facilitate future investigations. "What kind of plan?"
"It's like this, the resort requires environmental protection to be done well. Both of our companies must submit environmentally friendly plans. Then, the construction of the resort will adopt a palace architectural style, with ethnic villages surrounding it, and everything must be coordinated harmoniously."
"The most valuable things there are the azaleas on the mountain, as well as the unique geographical location. It's an azalea protection area. The premium red azaleas attract many tourists every year when they bloom."
Jiang Nuan didn't understand these things, but she knew that the car accident was definitely not simple.
"I understand. Thank you, Assistant Li."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan took out her phone and sent a message to Mu Jiu Chen, asking him to investigate this company.
Whether the project could be implemented.
Could a resort be built near Longxi?
She had vaguely heard of that area; it was a water source protection zone.
It was also a non-material cultural heritage protection zone. The houses there were very distinctive, with white walls and gray tiles. The ethnic group living there had lived in such houses for generations. Traditional handicrafts and folk arts were the soul of the ethnic group, and their inheritance was very important.
Jiang Nuan suppressed the doubts in her heart and waited for her father with her mother.
Another twenty minutes passed, and the operating room door opened.
Jin Yan and Jiang Nuan quickly walked over.
Lu Si Cheng was still conscious. Seeing his wife and daughter, he smiled. "Wife, Nuan Nuan, you're here?"
Jin Yan looked at the bandages on his head and felt extremely heartbroken. "You said you had a bad feeling this morning, and now look, you've ended up in the hospital."
Lu Si Cheng smiled. "You, don't overthink it. Isn't this just a coincidence?"
Jiang Nuan was puzzled. "Dad, you're the one who became superstitious first, and you call Mom's premonition a coincidence."
"Alas! Sometimes premonitions are quite accurate. I woke up feeling restless this morning. When I went out, I even received a message from Shao Qing. This kid never messages me unless I call him. When I saw the message, he said, 'Grandpa, when you go out today, throw a hundred yuan bill at the main entrance.' Guess what? I threw the money out, and a passing beggar picked it up."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Jin Yan found it a bit amusing. "Who in this world wouldn't pick up money when they see it?"
Lu Si Cheng didn't think so. "You don't know how terrible the car accident was. The driver is still in the operating room! Shao Qing's message has a deeper meaning. Fortunately, I followed his advice."
He was sitting in the back seat and almost died.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the ward.
Lu Si Cheng looked at his assistant and said, "Xiao Li, go and take care of Driver Wang's family. Comfort them and tell them not to get agitated. We will fully cover Old Wang's medical expenses."
"Yes, Chairman." Li Mu Ting turned and went out.
Jiang Nuan sat by the bed and took her father's pulse.
He had a mild concussion, but it wasn't serious.
Lu Si Cheng smiled at his daughter. "Nuan Nuan, Dad is fine."
Jiang Nuan pursed her lips and shook her head slightly. "It's fine, just a mild concussion. Aren't you sleepy, Dad?"
"I am, but I'm so sleepy. If you two weren't talking to me, I would have fallen asleep long ago. I'll sleep for a while. I'll go home when I wake up." Lu Si Cheng closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
"Alas!" Jin Yan sighed, comforting herself. "Fortunately, it's nothing major."
Jiang Nuan took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Jin Yan.
