On the way back to school, Lin Bai received a call from Sun Xiaogang.
On the other end of the phone, Sun Xiaogang was so excited that his voice was trembling.
He said, “Lin Bai, I just received a notice from the traffic police. They said that because of a faulty hard disk, the footage recorded in the dashboard camera in my parents’ car was all gone!”
“How can such crucial evidence disappear just like that!”
“It must be Ling’s doing! I’m so angry!”
After Lin Bai heard that, he subconsciously wanted to say that Ling Xuewei would not do such a thing.
However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he rephrased his words.
“Xiaogang, don’t be impulsive. Things might not be as you think. Anyway, I will help you solve it no matter what. Calm down first.”
Sun Xiaogang was still very angry.
“How could it not be as I think? They must have pulled some strings! Otherwise, why did the traffic police’s hard disk break down when we were about to file a lawsuit?”
“I asked the lawyer just now. He said that the video in the dashboard camera is very important evidence. Without those videos, there’s no way to prove that it was Ling who suddenly braked and caused my parents to rear-end her car.”
“Then the nature of the situation has completely changed. It’s very disadvantageous for us now.”
Lin Bai said, “This timing is indeed too coincidental.”
Sun Xiaogang said, “That’s right! Ling is really too shameless. It’s fine if she doesn’t want to pay up, but she still played such a dirty trick!”
“And that subordinate of hers is also not a good person. He went to the hospital to provoke my mother again today. At that time, I was out with the nurse. I don’t know what that bastard told my mother, but it provoked my mother so much that she insisted on being discharged from the hospital. She refused to continue the treatment no matter what.”
“I spent a lot of effort to pacify her, but she kept crying and kept apologizing to me. Damn it, I shouldn’t have let that bastard go. If I had known, I would have chopped him up!”
The fatigue, anger, and indignation that had accumulated within him the past few days pushed Sun Xiaogang to the brink of a breakdown.
Lin Bai knew that words of comfort were no longer of any use to Sun Xiaogang.
So he said, “Wait a moment, I’ll go to the hospital to look for you.”
Then, he hung up the phone and said to the taxi driver, “Sorry, Sir. Something came up. Please take me to the Central Hospital.”
Twenty minutes later, Lin Bai rushed to the ward where Sun Xiaogang’s mother was.
The result was very surprising to him. The ward was in a mess. Sun Xiaogang and his mother were not there.
It was understandable that Sun Xiaogang was not there. He was already a grown man. He had to eat and go to the toilet. It was normal for him to leave occasionally.
However, his mother had sustained multiple fractures all over her body. She could not even get out of bed. If she was not in the ward, where else could she go?
Lin Bai quickly called Sun Xiaogang, but the latter did not pick up even after the phone rang for quite a while.
At this time, the nurse returned. Lin Bai quickly asked her, “Where are Sun Xiaogang and his mother?”
The nurse sighed and said, “I don’t know what is wrong with his mother. She insisted on being discharged from the hospital.”
“Sun Xiaogang didn’t agree, so his mother took advantage when we were not paying attention and pulled the tubes on her body. She even wanted to die. After that, she fell from the hospital bed and had quite a bad fall. She was conveyed to the emergency room.”
Lin Bai was furious when he heard that. He wanted to rip that bastard, Assistant Wang apart alive.
However, his rationality told him that the most important thing to do at the moment was to find Sun Xiaogang first and calm him down.
If Sun Xiaogang really did something irrational during an emotional breakdown, it would not end well.
“Where’s Sun Xiaogang? Do you know where he went?” Lin Bai asked.
The nurse replied, “He left with the doctors and nurses. He should be in the emergency resuscitation room.”
Lin Bai hurried over. As expected, he saw Sun Xiaogang curled up on the ground at the door of the emergency resuscitation room.
Lin Bai slowed down and walked over. He said softly, “Xiaogang, I’m here.”
Sun Xiaogang did not react at all.
Lin Bai sighed in his heart. He sat next to Sun Xiaogang and quietly accompanied him.
After an unknown amount of time, the resuscitation room’s door finally opened.
Sun Xiaogang instantly bounced up from the floor. He rushed up and grabbed the doctor’s arm:
“Doctor, how’s my mother?”
The doctor said, “Don’t worry, your mother is out of danger.”
Sun Xiaogang heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if his entire body had been drained of energy and he could no longer stand steadily.
Lin Bai quickly held him up.
It was only then that Sun Xiaogang realized that Lin Bai was right beside him.
His eyes were red as he said, “Lin Bai, I only talked to you on the phone for a short while. I almost lost my mother…”
He was so scared and panicked.
Lin Bai’s heart clenched up.
Yes, it was not easy for his parents to survive the car accident, and there were many twists and turns when they were in the hospital.
It was not easy for them to get through the ordeal, and now, both of their injuries had finally stabilized.
Yet, they were provoked by that a**hole Assistant Wang again, and they almost lost it again.
After being given such a huge shock, anyone would have collapsed.
Lin Bai patted Sun Xiaogang’s shoulder hard and said to him, “Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of that bastard, Wang, for you.”
Sun Xiaogang nodded hard with reddened eyes.
“And that Ling, don’t let her off either. It’s all her fault! Damn it, why did she have to stop her car out of nowhere on the highway!?! If she hadn’t done that, how could anything happen have happened to my parents!?” Sun Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said.
Lin Bai said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory result.”
He didn’t directly say that he would teach Ling Xuewei a lesson because, after today’s interaction, he felt that Ling Xuewei wasn’t the kind of person who would do anything to achieve her goals.
She was a prideful woman who couldn’t be bothered to do such unorthodox things.
Therefore, Lin Bai felt that there must be a misunderstanding.
It was true that Wang was Ling Xuewei’s assistant, but that did not mean that all of his actions were done according to Ling Xuewei’s orders.
Although Lin Bai could not understand why a mere assistant could be so bold to do so much behind his boss’s back, his intuition told him that this was the answer.
As for the reason, it still needed to be explored.
After Lin Bai calmed Sun Xiaogang down, Mrs. Sun finally slowly woke up from her anesthetic state.
Lin Bai wanted to find out what Assistant Wang had said to Mrs. Sun to provoke her into such a state.
So he discussed with Sun Xiaogang.
“Can I have a moment alone with Auntie?”
If it had been anyone else, Sun Xiaogang would not have agreed to this request.
It was because his mother had seen Assistant Wang alone that she had been agitated and almost lost her life.
He did not want anyone else to talk to his mother alone at all..
