Chapter 760: Chapter 760: If She Doesn’t Wake Up, She’s Going to Jail Again
Chi Yue shook her head, “I’m not sure either… let’s wait for news from Nan Yuan.”
Fu Rongyin’s surgery lasted a full six hours.
When the doctors announced they had barely pulled him back, Chi Yue and Fu Hanyan both relaxed, collapsing onto the floor.
Though he was brought back to life, whether he could wake up would depend on Fu Rongyin’s willpower.
So Fu Hanyan pleaded with Chi Yue, “Sister-in-law, can you stay and take care of my brother? I know you’ve filed for divorce, but with him in this condition, the court wouldn’t grant a divorce either.”
Chi Yue didn’t respond, lost in thought.
Fu Hanyan became anxious, “Sister-in-law, he is Mianmian’s father, you see…”
“I’m not saying no.” Chi Yue interrupted, “I’m just thinking… Xiao Yan, you stay here with him, I need to make a phone call.”
She had been flustered earlier and forgotten something very important.
Fu Rongyin must have had contacts in Beijing, and given his friendship with Zhan Qing, Zhan Qing might know something.
But she didn’t have Zhan Qing’s number and had to reach him through Lin Wanyun.
Fortunately, Lin Wanyun gave her the number immediately after hearing about Fu Rongyin’s incident.
Having obtained the phone number, Chi Yue didn’t dial immediately, but took a moment to organize her thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Qing called her first.
“You were looking for me?”
Chi Yue steadied herself, “Yes, but how did you know?”
“Oh, my wife told me.”
Chi Yue couldn’t be sure, but she thought she detected a pleased tone in Zhan Qing’s voice.
Without dwelling on it, she quickly stated her intention, “It’s somewhat presumptuous of me, but I urgently need to ask, did Fu Rongyin offend anyone in Beijing recently?”
Zhan Qing responded indirectly, “Hasn’t he returned?”
Suppressing her doubts, Chi Yue continued, “When did he come back?”
After a moment of reflection on the other end, “As far as I know, he had a morning flight ticket today. Haven’t you seen him?”
It appeared that Zhan Qing was still unaware of the incident at this end.
Chi Yue informed him, “Fu Rongyin was in a car accident, and he was just rescued. If you know anything, please tell me. I need to know why he was under my car wheels.”
“A car accident?” Zhan Qing was clearly just finding out, and after a pause, he added, “I’ll be on the lookout.”
After hanging up, Zhan Qing looked across at Qi Hongwen.
“Uncle, your son was in a car accident, just a short while ago.”
Qi Hongwen had been calmly sipping tea but dropped his cup upon hearing Zhan Qing’s words.
“How can that be? Have you figured out who was responsible?”
“No, his wife just called me. Also, she doesn’t know about Fu Rongyin going back today.”
Who could it be?
Qi Hongwen stood up sharply, “I’ll go check it out.”
“What about the matters here?” Zhan Qing added casually, “I’m supposed to pick up my wife and head to Nancheng, I won’t have time to clean up this mess for you.”
Qi Hongwen paused, eyeing him suspiciously, “Aren’t you two getting a divorce?”
“Oh, she just called, asked me to pick her up. Guess that’s her waving the white flag?”
Qi Hongwen gave him a complicated look, then turned and left without another word.
Zhan Qing took out his phone, staring at the recent call log as if reminiscing something.
Meanwhile, Chi Yue, after arranging everything, returned to the ward.
Fu Hanyan was quietly wiping away tears, facing away from her and speaking to Fu Rongyin.
“Brother, please wake up soon. Nan Yuan just called, saying if you don’t wake up, sister-in-law will be going to jail again…” Fu Hanyan’s voice was tinged with tears, “so brother, wake up before the police come, you can’t let sister-in-law down again…”
