Li Qian pursed her lips and said soothingly, “Ranran, you’re overthinking this. In my opinion, Zhou Mingfu is definitely feeling guilty. The car accident that killed President Wen and Madam Wen, causing Young Master Wen to fall into a coma, must be related to Zhou Mingfu. He used to think you were simple and easy to deal with, but now that Young Master Wen has woken up, he is panicked and has ended up in a car accident himself, probably hiding at home and trying to prepare a strategy.”
Speaking of her dead parents, Wen Ran felt another pang in her heart. A hint of hatred appeared in her clear and piercing eyes, “The police called me earlier saying that the auto mechanic who tampered with my dad’s car is dead and all clues have thus been severed. Although we know that it must be related to Zhou Mingfu, we cannot do anything to him without concrete evidence.”
“Ranran, Zhou Mingfu’s recent actions are the best proof. Once Young Master Wen returns, he will definitely find evidence linking Zhou Mingfu to the deaths of President Wen and Madam Wen.”
Wen Jin is five years older than Wen Ran. As early as five years ago, he was participating in all major decision-making within the Wen Family. If it wasn’t for the accident, Wen Hongrui was planning to hand over the factory to him before he went on vacation with his wife.
In Li Qian’s view, as long as Wen Jin is safe and sound, the Wen Family business is absolutely safe.
Although Wen Ran is intelligent and has managed the Wen Family businesses very well during these days, she is after all young and innocent, lacking in business experience. It would be dangerous for her to confront Zhou Mingfu, a cunning old fox, without the help of MO Xiuchen.
“Yes, once my brother is awake, I won’t be afraid of anything.”
The coldness in Wen Ran’s eyes receded like a tide, replaced by warmth and a faint smile. The moment her brother woke up, she felt full of strength and free of fear and worry.
MO Xiuchen simultaneously received a call from Wen Jin.
He knew that Wen Jin would contact him sooner or later, but he didn’t expect it to be this soon. He had just woken up three days ago and Wen Jin was already eager to talk to him.
He asked on the phone, “Young Master MO, can you come to the hospital? I have something to discuss with you.”
MO Xiuchen squinted his eyes and answered with a smile, “Sure, after work, I
will come with Wen Ran to see you.”
“How about now? I want to talk to you alone.”
The voice of Wen Jin came through the phone, slightly serious.
Half an hour later, MO Xiuchen drove to the hospital and ran into Gu Kai who was accompanying the medical staff in waiting for a patient on the way to the hospital. Seeing MO Xiuchen, Gu Kai asked in surprise, “Xiuchen, why are you at the hospital at this hour?”
“My elder cousin called me. He said he has something to talk to me about.” MO Xiuchen casually responded, raising an eyebrow.
It took Gu Kai a moment to realize that MO Xiuchen was referring to Wen Jin as his elder cousin. He waved his hand and laughed, “Go ahead then. If you’re late, your elder cousin might not be pleased.”
MO Xiuchen gave a dismissive grin, “His satisfaction or dissatisfaction won’t change any of the established facts.”
He knew what Wen Jin wanted to talk to him about. But Wen Jin probably considered that he was ‘impotent’ and thought that Wen Jin waking up could change his relationship with Wen Ran. He thought too highly of himself.
In the hospital room filled with the smell of disinfectant, Wen Jin, dressed in a blue patient gown, leaned lazily against the head of the bed. If not for the bandage on his forehead and his pale handsome face, anyone would have mistaken him for a patient who had just woken up from a half-month coma based purely on his charming demeanor.
MO Xiuchen pushed the door of the room open but did not immediately enter.
He just stood at the doorway, eyeing the man on the bed.
At the same time, Wen Jin was also scrutinizing him. The moment he appeared and pushed the door open, a glint of sharpness shot across his seemingly gentle eyes.
The room fell silent.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became charged.
MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly; he understood the scrutiny and harshness in the other’s gaze. Yet, Wen Jin was momentarily taken aback, not understanding the source of MO Xiuchen’s hostility towards him. “Young Master Wen seems to be in good spirits today!”
MO Xiuchen flashed a smile, striding towards the bed with his long legs.
Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Wen Jin forced a smile, his voice weak but gentle, “I feel guilty having Young Master MO come to see me in person. Please have a seat.”
He gestured to the chair in front of the bed.
MO Xiuchen didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down. His narrow gaze swept over Wen Jin’s covered leg, asking with ‘concern’, “What did the doctor say? Will Young Master Wen be able to stand again?
A momentary shadow passed through Wen Jin’s eyes, which quickly regained its gentle smile. He confidently said, “Everything is in human hands. Even if I can’t stand, for Ran Ran’s sake, I will!”
MO Xiuchen laughed, “I’ve always known that Young Master Wen is famous for his love for his sister. I believe what you said!”
Wen Jin’s smile instantly faded, and he said solemnly and straightforwardly, “Ranran is the gem of our family. Not only me, but my parents also would not agree to her sacrificing her happiness to protect the company if they knew.”
If he had to choose between the company and his sister, he would choose his sister without hesitation!
MO Xiuchen nodded knowingly, “I understand Young Master Wen’s feelings, but you also have to understand Ranran’s feelings. In that accident, she lost not only her parents, but you, the only living relative she had, were barely alive.
Moreover, she was betrayed by her boyfriend and the company was in chaos.”
“Under such circumstances, she had no choice. If she chose herself, she would not be deserving of your protective love for her as a brother, even when you disregarded your own life and safety.”
MO Xiuchen emphasized the last few words deliberately.
Wen Jin’s face changed and a trace of sharpness flashed in his gentle eyes. He stared at MO Xiuchen’s handsome face which looked as if it were an exquisite sculpture by God. Yet he showed no sign of out of ordinariness with his calm and casual demeanor.
However, he had a dreadful intuition. Did MO Xiuchen know something?
What he had just said, no matter how he enunciated it, it sounded like some kind of insinuation.
“Ranran is my sister. I protect her with my life without expecting an equivalent return. However, I do have a question now, and I hope Young Master MO can clear up my confusion.”
There was a sharp glint concealed deep within Wen Jin’s gentle eyes. He took a pillow from beside and propped it against his back, causing his previously slouched posture to straighten slightly.
The oppressive pressure aimed at him had no effect on MO Xiuchen. He hooked his mouth in nonchalance, “I left my work just to clear up any confusion for Young Master Wen. You’re Wen Ran’s brother, so technically, I should be addressing you as ‘brother’. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
A light crease formed between Wen Jin’s brows. He certainly didn’t need MO Xiuchen to address him as ‘brother’!
He pursed his lips. Although he knew MO Xiuchen from before, they weren’t close. He knew MO Xiuchen was cold-hearted and indifferent to everyone. He did not expect MO Xiuchen to be so ‘easygoing’.
However, Wen Jin did not wish for MO Xiuchen to be so ‘easygoing’, because the way MO Xiuchen was acting indirectly signified his attitude towards Wen Ran..
