Chapter 20 The Ye siblings
protect Little Qiao. How can he deliver flowers Even if I call him, one person can't cover all these places!" Sun Xinxin shook her head; she hadn’t called Xia Tian because she knew that protecting Lit...Chapter 1: Big and Petite Beauties
"How is it going" Unable to hold back any longer, Huang Haitao asked when Leng Bingbing remained silent.
"Director, what he said is right. Those two have woken up, and... " Leng Bingbing gritted her teeth as she glared at Xia Tian with an angry expression.
"And what" Huang Haitao frowned slightly.
"Director, I sent the forensic doctor to examine their injuries earlier, but there's no trace of any injury on them!" Leng Bingbing was getting frustrated. She couldn't understand how this guy managed it; she had heard that Su Ziqiang got beaten up like a pig’s head before, yet when the forensic doctor examined him later, all his bruises vanished automatically!
"A talent indeed!" Upon hearing Leng Bingbing's words, everyone looked at Xia Tian with renewed interest. If he could be used for interrogation and torture, he would definitely excel in it.
Huang Haitao fell into deep thought again. After a while, he turned to face Xia Tian, his tone unusually mild: "You're called Xia Tian, right"
"That's correct." Xia Tian nodded.
"I'm Huang Haitao, the director of Jianghai City Public Security Bureau, and this is my son Huang Anping," Huang Haitao introduced himself. "An previously was an excellent policeman; his injury occurred while chasing a criminal. If you really can cure his illness, I will definitely be grateful."
"Oh, no need to thank me, as long as he doesn't try to steal my Police Sister from me in the future," Xia Tian said casually.
"How dare you say that" Cold Ice felt an urge to take action again.
Hai Tao waved his hand, gesturing for Cold Ice to hold her temper for now. He then asked with a friendly tone, "Xia Tian, can I ask you something Have you ever treated anyone before"
"Of course, my wife was cured by me," Xia Tian answered.
"Your wife" Hai Tao's expression turned slightly awkward as he looked at Cold Ice. "You mean..."
"I'm not his wife!" Cold Ice clenched her teeth audibly in frustration.
"Oh, Police Sister, I wasn't talking about you; I was referring to another wife," Xia Tian said with a smug smile.
The group fell silent once again. This guy already had a wife and yet still wanted to pursue Cold Ice Truly clueless about his situation!
"Then, Xia Tian, can you tell me what your wife's name is" Hai Tao asked. His plan was rather simple: although he was starting to believe in Xia Tian, he couldn't be too careful. If Xia Tian had treated others before, all he needed to do was find those people and investigate them to verify whether Xia Tian truly possessed remarkable medical skills.
As the Chief of Jianghai City's Public Security Bureau, Huaihaotao found it wasn't too difficult to look into someone's background as long as he had some clues.
"Her name is Qiao Xiaoqiao," Xia Tian didn't hide anything and immediately said her name.
Then there was silence once again.
Saint Heart Hospital was a private hospital. To the ordinary citizens of Jianghai City, it wasn't particularly well-known, but within Jianghai's social elite circles, everyone knew that this hospital was actually the best one in the city with state-of-the-art facilities and top doctors. However, common patients could hardly get into this hospital, making it essentially a hospital for the wealthy.
Ye Mengying walked out of the intensive care ward rather tiredly. Her grandfather's condition hadn't improved at all, which left her in a bad mood. Since childhood, her grandfather had always been very affectionate towards her, and there were even rumors long ago that he would leave most of his wealth to her. Because of these rumors, many siblings in the family harbored resentment towards her; only her eldest brother was nice to her.
As one of the most powerful families in Jianghai City, the Ye Family had countless businesses with assets amounting to hundreds of billions. Currently, this fortune belonged to her grandfather, Tian Nan Group's chairman Ye Tannan. Such a vast sum naturally attracted many people's covetousness; when Ye Tannan fell ill, the covert struggles for power had already escalated to extreme levels.
She was certain that the accident she encountered on the way back to Jianghai City was planned by someone in her family, but fortunately, owing to a moment of kindness allowing Xia Tian to hitch a ride with her, she narrowly escaped unharmed. Now that she had returned to Jianghai City and with her eldest brother overseeing things, these people wouldn't dare act recklessly against her.
"Little sister."
Ye Mengying looked up as a gentle voice reached her ears. A tall and handsome man was walking towards her—it was her elder brother Ye Shaoyong.
"Big Brother, you're here!" Ye Mengying greeted him with a joyful expression. Only in front of Big Brother could she show such a happy smile because she knew that, apart from Grandpa, the only person who would never take advantage of her was Big Brother.
"It's an unusual time now. Although I've sent some people to secretly protect you, I'm still worried about your safety. Hearing that you'll stay at the hospital tonight, I came personally to keep you company." Ye Shaoxiong smiled gently; his eyes held a hint of indulgence. Even though he knew she had grown up and could handle things on her own, he couldn't help but see her as the frail little girl from years ago.
"Big Brother, let's take a walk outside," Ye Mengying suggested softly.
"Alright." Ye Shaoxiong never turned down his sister's requests.
The environment at Sacred Heart Hospital was very good; walking around felt like strolling in a park. However, there were fewer patients inside, and as the sky darkened, few people could be seen taking walks on the roads.
"Big Brother, do you think Grandpa will recover" Ye Mengying's tone had a touch of sadness. Although she knew that Grandpa was getting old, in just over two weeks he would celebrate his eightieth birthday, but she still hoped that he could live longer on this earth.
"I believe he'll at least make it to his eightieth birthday," Ye Shaoxiong sighed softly.
"Actually, Grandpa never said anything about leaving me all the assets. I didn't want his property either, nor did I wish to compete with others over it. So a few years ago, I left Jianghai and came here alone to run my own company in Star City. Although my business isn't large, I can support myself just fine. For me, Grandpa's share of the wealth doesn’t matter," Ye Mengying’s tone was tinged with bitterness. "But why won't they leave me alone Why do they want to ruin me like this"
"I will never let them get away with it!" A glint of coldness flashed in Ye Shaoxiong's eyes as he thought about how someone dared to harm his most beloved younger sister. He would make sure those people faced a bad end!
After a brief pause, Ye Shaoxiong slowly continued: "Although Su Junfeng isn't much of anything, he does have some sense of responsibility in critical moments. The person you mentioned named Xia Tian I looked into it but found nothing. I also haven’t heard that Qiao Xiaoqiao has a fiancé. However, this kid saved your life; if there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely thank him properly."
It's strange though, Xia Tian probably can't find Qiao Xiaoqiao. I left my business card with him yesterday and thought he would call me then, but up to now, no calls have come in.
Ye Shaoxiong was about to say something when a clear voice suddenly rang out from behind them: "Auntie! Eldest Cousin!"
The two turned their heads and saw a cute little girl—Su Beibei—and next to her stood Su Junfeng.
"Eldest Cousin, when did you arrive" Su Beibei rushed over with an excited expression. "Wow! Eldest Cousin, it’s been a few days since we last met and you’ve gotten even more handsome!"
Ye Shaoxiong felt a headache coming on; why was he encountering this young troublemaker
"Junfeng, are you alright" Ye Mengying knew that her eldest brother was somewhat afraid of this little girl, so she quickly defused the situation by shifting the conversation to Su Junfeng who stood beside them.
"I’m fine. I just have a mild concussion; after resting for a few days, it will be better." Su Junfeng hurriedly replied. He had regained consciousness when he was brought here yesterday but still couldn’t believe that the one who rescued them in the end turned out to be someone named Xia Tian.
"Oh right, Auntie! Has that country bumpkin called you" Su Beibei seemed to just remember this matter.
"No." Ye Mengying answered truthfully; she naturally understood who Su Beibei referred to as the "country bumpkin."
"That doesn’t make sense. I specifically asked around, and that country bumpkin didn't find Qiao Xiaoqiao!" Su Beibei was a bit confused before suddenly seeming to understand everything. "I get it! That country bumpkin must be lying again. He doesn’t know Qiao Xiaoqiao at all!"
Su Junfeng's phone suddenly rang, and after checking his phone, he frowned but answered the call anyway, with a slightly displeased tone: "Ziqiang, what is it"
"You got beaten up Can’t you do better… Wait, who was the person that beat you"
"Summer" Su Junfeng's voice suddenly rose an octave. "Are you sure it’s Summer Alright, I’ll handle this. Don’t involve anyone at home. That’s all!"
Su Junfeng hung up the phone and noticed that three pairs of eyes were staring at him.
"Hey, Third Brother, what did you say just now on the phone Who did Summer beat up Is this Summer the same one you’re talking about" Su Beibei was the first to lose her patience, firing off several questions in a row.
"Ziqiang got beaten up at Jianghai University. The person who hit him is called Summer. Whether it’s the same Summer you were referring to or not, I’m not sure." Su Junfeng seemed somewhat helpless. "But apparently, Summer has been taken to the city police station now. I plan on going to see what’s happening."
"He was arrested" Ye Mengying's face changed as she turned to look at Ye Shaoyong.o confused. What’s going on here If there were matters concerning the Criminal Investigation Unit, it should be someone from the Sixth Detachment who would contact her rather than Team Leader Ge of th...
