"Mm." Angajabu pressed the numeric keypad, and without looking back, walked out when the floor arrived.
Nan Xiao was right, don't regret what you do; he did this all for the master's good.
Nan Xiao watched the elevator doors slowly close and took out his phone to make a call.
"Old Xiao, how are things on your end?"
"He refuses to admit anything, keeps crying he's innocent. Boss, how is Auntie?"
"She seems fine for now, but we don't know her condition when she wakes up tomorrow."
"What kind of outcome do you want?"
"If my mother is alright, just lock her up for a few days."
"Understood."
"Thanks for your hard work. I'll be leaving the capital for a few days. Keep in touch if anything comes up."
"Alright."
Nan Xiao hung up Captain Xiao's call and then called An Ziling.
When An Ziling heard that Liu Meiying had pushed his sister down the stairs, he exploded.
Nan Xiao listened to An Ziling's angry rant, a smile played on his lips as he hung up. The fire had been lit; the rest was not his concern.
Lan Yuxi packed her luggage while waiting for Nan Xiao.
The clock struck midnight when Nan Xiao jumped in through the window. He glanced at the four suitcases in the corner and frowned slightly.
"It's fine that you've packed, but why did you take them out yourself? Couldn't you have waited for me?"
Lan Yuxi smiled and hugged his slender waist. "They're not that heavy, I can manage."
"You don't need to pack too many clothes for me. I'll only be there for three days."
"Mm, I know. I've packed four sets of formal wear for you. You have the rest over there."
Nan Xiao leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Thinking about not seeing you tomorrow night makes me feel bad, what should I do? How about you wait for me for a day?"
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips. "Jinsong's father will arrive at Noka’s tomorrow. His condition is very bad, I can't wait... Honey, can you bear with it? If it's really necessary, I'll make up for tomorrow today... Ah—Nan Xiao, what are you doing?!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to compensate me? It's late, I need to get today's and tomorrow's work done quickly!"
Nan Xiao emphasized the last word, making Lan Yuxi chuckle.
Nan Xiao worked overtime that night, and they only managed to sleep for a while, embracing each other, until the early hours of the morning.
At eight o'clock, Nan Xiao drove to the hospital after seeing Lan Yuxi and the others onto the plane.
As soon as he reached outside the ward, he heard his mother's angry roar, "Go find Huo Ding for me! I'm talking to you, are you deaf!"
An Ziling tried to comfort her. "Sister, don't get angry, it'll affect your recovery. I've already called Huo Ding, he'll be here soon."
"How can I not be angry! I was so good to that bitch, and she crippled me. I will never forgive her! Call Nan Xiao. He has several police friends. Let him find a way to kill that woman!"
"You're just saying that out of anger! Nan Xiao is not the same as before. He's the Prime Minister now, with so many eyes watching him. If he kills someone, can he still keep that position?"
"..."
"Sister, the revival of our An family depends on Nan Xiao. You shouldn't act out like this anymore. What if he gets angry and abandons our family?"
"How have I acted out? Everything I do is for his own good!"
"You still say you haven't acted out? Just in these past few days, you've found him several women. Especially the Wang family, what kind of family is that? How could you even think of it, wanting Nan Xiao to marry a woman from the Wang family? If that really happened, and Nan Xiao married into the Nan family, what would be left for you and the An family?"
"I can't stand that little bitch! As long as it's not her, anyone can be my daughter-in-law! However, hearing what you said, I should look for someone from a middle-class family for Nan Xiao in the future."
"We can't rush this. He's still infatuated with Lan Yuxi. When he gets tired of her, if you don't make him change, he'll change himself."
"But with my health, will I be able to see that day?"
"Your health is fine! You'll definitely live longer than Lan Yuxi." An Ziling subtly glanced at An Lanshu's expression. Seeing that she seemed less angry, he continued, "Sister, I still have a few things to advise you on. You'd better not go to Country M. You have such a good son, why would you go take care of someone who doesn't have you in their heart?"
"What do you know! If I don't go and watch him, he'll end up going to that bitch."
"Does he dare? If he goes to that woman, Nan Xiao and Lan Yuxi will divorce. No matter how much he wants that person, he has to consider the Nan family's reputation. Who would divorce right after becoming Prime Minister?"
An Lanshu pondered for a moment. "Forget it. With my current condition, I can't go anyway. But I will go eventually."
"I've sent people to keep an eye on Old Man Nan for you. Just stay in the country with peace of mind. The An family, and Nan Xiao, they all need you."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, our An family will eventually return to the four great families! I don't believe Nan Xiao would help outsiders instead of his own kin!"
"Boss, why are you standing here and not going in?" Huo Ding's voice came from outside the door.
"I have something else to do, I'm leaving now."
Upon hearing Nan Xiao's voice, An Ziling immediately shut up.
After a moment of stunned silence, An Lanshu said to An Ziling, "Hurry and chase him back!"
An Ziling reluctantly pursued him, but Nan Xiao had already entered the elevator.
An Ziling quickly pressed the button for another elevator and followed him down.
At the main entrance, An Ziling saw Nan Xiao's tall figure and quickly called out, "Nan Xiao, wait for me, I have something to say to you!"
Nan Xiao walked away quickly without looking back.
An Ziling chased him all the way to the parking lot, hands on his knees, panting, he said, "Nan Xiao, don't be angry. I said that to appease your mother, it wasn't what I truly meant."
Nan Xiao opened the car door and got in. He was indeed angry. His own mother and his uncle had conspired against him, cursed him, and even dared to fantasize about using his power to return to the four great families. It was a pipe dream!
"Country M is not like Huaguo. For the old man, killing someone is as easy as crushing an ant. If your sister insists on going, I won't stop her."
After Nan Xiao finished speaking, he started the engine and drove away.
An Ziling savored the meaning behind Nan Xiao's words and turned back.
Noka’s Blue Sky Hospital.
A medical helicopter slowly landed on the helipad on the terrace.
Nan Zhenting, Ling Xiaoling, Lan Zixin, Elder Hong, and the Lan family brothers were already waiting.
As the helicopter landed, everyone rushed forward.
Lan Zixin's eyes were red as she gazed at the cabin door.
Lan Mushang put his arm around her. "Don't cry, we're here. Jinsong's father will definitely get better."
Lan Yuxi sniffled, "I still feel like I'm dreaming. Are you sure that person is really my father?"
