"Hand him over to the police," Da Xiong finally decided after a moment.
Only then could Xiao Ran pay the price he deserved. Hiring assassins to kill someone was punishable by death, and it would also be considered revenge for his wife and children.
As Da Xiong uttered these words, tears streamed from his eyes. Then, his vision went black, and he collapsed.
"Brother Xiong!" Seeing this, Brother Hu quickly rushed to support the unconscious Da Xiong.
He then anxiously asked Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, what's wrong with Brother Xiong?"
Chen Fan shook his head slightly. "He's fine, just too tired. Take him to the hospital to get his wounds bandaged, and then let him rest well."
"Yes, Mr. Chen!" Brother Hu nodded quickly and instructed his men to take Da Xiong to a nearby clinic.
He personally escorted Cao Qing to the police station.
Chen Fan did not return to the bar. After sending a text message to Qin Shuran, telling her to wait for him at the bar, Chen Fan drove away from the parking lot.
Meanwhile, in a VIP ward at the First Hospital.
Xiao Ran sat in his wheelchair, cheerful music playing in the room. He held a glass of red wine, his face filled with smugness, even humming a tune occasionally.
This was the first time Xiao Ran had appeared so excited since his legs were broken.
He had already instructed the nurses not to let anyone into his room without his permission.
However, the nurses passing by the door and hearing the loud music inside were puzzled, wondering what could make Xiao Ran so happy.
"Click."
At this moment, the tightly closed ward door was pushed open.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Ran's excited expression turned displeased. He cursed, "Damn it, didn't I tell you all not to disturb me tonight? Are you ignoring my words? I think you don't want this job anymore!"
However, after a moment, Xiao Ran realized the other person hadn't left. His expression turned cold. He put down his wine glass and turned his wheelchair.
"You dog, can't you understand what I'm saying? Get out of here now!"
"Chen, Chen Fan?!"
However, as Xiao Ran's curse fell, he saw the figure standing at the door and his face instantly contorted with horror.
The person who appeared in Xiao Ran's ward was none other than Chen Fan, who had driven away from the Fashion Trend Bar.
Chen Fan's face was icy as he walked towards Xiao Ran step by step.
"Chen Fan, are you a person or a ghost?!" Xiao Ran swallowed, his expression appearing somewhat nervous.
"Do you wish I were a person, or a ghost?" Chen Fan retorted.
Hearing Chen Fan speak, Xiao Ran was even more astonished. "You're not dead?"
"That's right, I've disappointed you. The person you hired to kill me didn't succeed," Chen Fan replied.
"Chen Fan, words need evidence," Xiao Ran said mockingly, unwilling to admit to hiring an assassin.
Before hiring the killers, he had learned that even if they died, they would never reveal the identity of their employer. This was why Xiao Ran was so confident.
Chen Fan didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Soon, the spare phone on Xiao Ran's table rang.
Chen Fan asked, "Does this count as evidence?"
Xiao Ran's face instantly changed. His eyes were fixed on the phone in Chen Fan's hand, and a bad premonition suddenly struck him.
"Xiao Ran, we were classmates. Did you really want to kill me this badly?" Chen Fan hung up the phone and asked coldly.
"Heh, classmates? When did you, Chen Fan, ever consider me, Xiao Ran, your classmate?" Xiao Ran pointed at his legs.
"If it weren't for you, would my legs have been amputated? Do you know that because you stood by and did nothing, my path as a doctor is ruined! My entire life has been ruined by you! How dare you mention the word 'classmate' to me now? Are you worthy?!"
Xiao Ran's emotions instantly became agitated.
Facing Xiao Ran's retort, Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged. "If you hadn't hired Da Xiong to break my legs, and if you hadn't run over Da Xiong's wife with your car, how would you have ended up like this? These are consequences of your own actions; you can't blame others."
"Heh, can't blame others? Chen Fan, what are you? Just a poor nobody. I even slept with your girlfriend. You, a piece of trash like you, dare to lecture me here?" Xiao Ran sneered.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.
"You want to fight, don't you? I'm disabled anyway, so come at me if you dare. I wish you would." Xiao Ran showed no fear of Chen Fan and even provoked him.
As long as Chen Fan dared to make a move, he, Xiao Ran, would have the means to put Chen Fan behind bars.
"Coward, Chen Fan. I thought you had become much stronger, but I didn't expect you to still be so cowardly. I heard you have a new girlfriend, and she's quite pretty. With someone like you, your wife might run off with someone else in a few days." Xiao Ran was full of mockery.
Chen Fan replied, "It's not that I'm cowardly, but for someone who is about to die, I see no need to make a move."
"Someone who is about to die? Chen Fan, my body is very healthy. Even though my legs are broken, my body is perfectly healthy!" Xiao Ran retorted mockingly.
Chen Fan shook his head. "You hired assassins to kill Da Xiong's wife and children, and you also hired assassins to kill me. Do you think you can still live?"
"Let me tell you, that Cao Qing has already been sent to the police station, and he has confessed everything. Soon, you will be arrested and held responsible for all your actions."
Xiao Ran sneered, "Impossible. Chen Fan, you're too naive if you think you can scare me."
He still had great faith in the credibility of those assassins; they would definitely not betray him.
Chen Fan did not refute anything. Instead, he took out his phone and found the audio he had just recorded. Soon, Cao Qing's confession that Xiao Ran was the mastermind was played.
Xiao Ran was completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief. "This, this is impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Crash!"
Xiao Ran, in his frenzy, swept the red wine on the table onto the floor. Instantly, the floor was soaked with red wine, and there were shards of glass, creating a mess.
Chen Fan glanced at the frenzied Xiao Ran before him and shook his head slightly, his eyes devoid of any pity.
All of this was his own doing.
Chen Fan ignored Xiao Ran and turned to leave the ward.
Just then, the sound of police sirens echoed from outside the window, approaching the hospital from afar.
Xiao Ran's heart completely panicked. Tears also streamed down his face as he muttered, "What should I do? What should I do?! I can't be caught, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Xiao Ran activated his electric wheelchair and rushed out of the ward, intending to escape the hospital by elevator.
However, the elevators were not on this floor. The only elevator had been taken by Chen Fan downstairs. Xiao Ran had no choice but to rush towards the ramp for stretchers.
But Xiao Ran was in a hurry and forgot to fasten the safety belt of the stretcher. He was also rushing towards the ramp at a high speed. As Xiao Ran went down the ramp, he only then noticed that he was going too fast.
