Xiao Qiang hadn’t contacted Wang Yue for the past six months.
On one hand, it was because he had been busy training in the mountains.
On the other hand, he didn’t want to trouble Wang Yue.
After all, having escaped from the strict surveillance of the Xiao Family, Wang Yue, who had a good relationship with him, would easily be suspected of being an inside accomplice.
However, it seems that Wang Yue has already been affected.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Qiang stepped into the hospital.
Regardless of the circumstances, he needed to inquire about this situation.
Fortunately, while the hospital was large, Xiao Qiang had a good memory.
He still remembered the place where he once stayed, and quickly found the neurosurgery department.
“Hello, is Wang Yue here?” Xiao Qiang came to the nurse’s duty room and knocked on the door to ask.
There were only two people in the duty room, one younger, the other older.
Upon hearing Xiao Qiang’s words, the older nurse looked up and was taken aback.
“You’re looking for Wang Yue?” The young nurse looked at Xiao Qiang in surprise and asked.
Xiao Qiang nodded, “Isn’t she here?”
“Not exactly, she went to the medical college for further studies, and has been gone for two months.
And you are?” The young nurse looked at Xiao Qiang and thought he looked familiar.
The man in front of her was dressed in simple casual clothes, but he seemed extraordinarily elegant and otherworldly, just like a young man who had stepped out of a landscape painting.
“I’m her big brother.” Xiao Qiang smiled, turned around and left the duty room.
“Sister Li, what are you looking at?” After Xiao Qiang left, the young nurse saw that the older nurse was still standing there watching his back, and couldn’t help but ask.
Sister Li shook her head, “Nothing, I just think he seems familiar.”
“Hehe, me too.
Wasn’t Wang Yue an orphan?
How did she get a big brother?”
The two of them busied themselves with their work while whispering discussions.
“Who knows, it might be her lover.”
“Yeah, didn’t you hear?
She went to the medical school for advanced study with the help of Xiao Da, the Xiao Family’s young master.”
“So what?
Didn’t you hear?
The Xiao Corporation is about to go bankrupt…”
“The Xiao Family is going bankrupt?”
Xiao Qiang, standing not far away from the duty room, had an inexplicable expression on his face.
Wang Yue was somehow involved with the Xiao Family and it seemed that from the nurses’ gossip, the Xiao Family was facing some trouble.
This matter was becoming more and more interesting.
As for his grudges with the Xiao Family, Xiao Qiang no longer held strong resentment.
After all, without their interference, he wouldn’t have had the chance to live again.
What worried him more was that Wang Yue had gotten involved with the Xiao Family.
He had no interest in the feud of the wealthy families, but his nature was to distinguish clearly between favors and grudges.
Wang Yue had shown kindness to him, and Xiao Qiang couldn’t just stand by and watch.
Xiao Qiang rubbed his chin, left the hospital, and started heading towards Xiao Wen.
He believed Wang Yue would give him an explanation.
All the answers to the riddles would be solved soon.
As for how to find Wang Yue, the answer was simple: go find Xiao Wen.
……
………
I must say, Mingzhu is indeed a fast-paced city.
While Miles Square is indeed a reminder of a humiliating history, it also represents a period of prosperity.
Mr.
Zhu Guangqian once said, “Reading much but without desiring comprehension is akin to galloping across Miles Square.
Although the sights are an intriguing sensation, they stir confusion in the heart, leaving one empty-handed.” This hints at the splendor of Mingzhu.
Nowadays, Mingzhu is a very suitable place for people to live.
Despite the process of modernization distancing the city from its traditional charm, this change has endowed Mingzhu with an intoxicating atmosphere.
Standing in the center of the city, where every piece of land is worth its weight in gold, a young man in his mid-twenties appears lost in thought.
He is tall and handsome, but unfortunately also appears ill, especially those unfocused eyes.
Just as a person’s eyes are to a person, so too is a city to a city.
Without spirit, they lose all appeal.
People pass by him, but he remains motionless, gazing only in the direction of the Oriental Pearl under the setting sun.
Many beautiful women pass by him, but none show any interest in him.
“Young Master, let’s go home.”
After a long time, an old man with white hair walked to the young man’s side and whispered these words.
Xiao Wen nodded and glanced at the old butler who had faithfully served his father for decades.
He forced a bitter smile, “Grandfather Qin, do you think the Xiao Family can survive this?”
The old butler, taken aback by his faithful young master’s lack of confidence, immediately tried to reassure him, “As long as your father wakes up soon, there should be no problem.
The ones that Han Qiang took away are those whose loyalty wavers.
Those truly loyal to our Xiao family are still here.
They are just watching how your father’s situation unfolds.”
Xiao Wen nodded.
He knew his butler was right.
Ever since his father suddenly fell ill over a month ago, Han Qiang had first led a large number of family members to join the Xiao family’s mortal enemy, the Zheng Family.
Following that, the Xiao Family suffered attacks in business at the hands of several large families led by the Zhengs.
Meanwhile, the Xiao family’s original allies chose to watch from the sidelines because the helmsman, Xiao Zhengxun, remained unconscious.
Unimaginably, the once glorious Xiao Family in Mingzhu had slipped into a desperate situation.
Xiao Wen was acutely aware that he was still too young.
Added to that, he had been seriously ill six months ago and many people felt that if his father died, he couldn’t support the large family on his own.
“We can only hope,” Xiao Wen sighed.
“By the way, Young Master,” the old butler hesitated before speaking in a low voice, “About Xiao Qiang…”
Xiao Wen’s face darkened instantly.
He had heard about Xiao Qiang’s situation after the fact.
He couldn’t believe his parents had done something so outrageous to save him.
If the other hadn’t narrowly escaped, wouldn’t he have become an accomplice to murder?
What was unexpected to everyone was that Xiao Zhengxun, having added Xiao Qiang to the Xiao’s family register, was now cited by many as the one who should step in to manage the Xiao Corporation in light of the family’s losses due to his own misjudgment.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Wen said, “Keep searching!
If he could survive, there might be a chance to help dad’s disease too.
That Wang Yue, make sure to keep her safe.
I have a feeling she has ties with my mysterious brother.”
Xiao Qiang thought he was unnoticed when he left, but what he didn’t know was that a kind of surveillance device known as an electronic eye had recorded his departure in full.
Only Xiao Zhengxun and his son Xiao Wen saw that video.
Coupled with the strange case of Xiao Qiang’s mysterious resurrection, Xiao Wen’s intuition told him that this brother listed on their family register had some mysterious power.
Ruling in the open is big, ruling in secret is small, but ruling in the middle is clever with moderation.
The majority of people choose to quietly cultivate hidden talents amidst the bustling market, and thus, most Chinese heroes have emerged from humble backgrounds.
But the issue is that not all common people have the potential to become the hidden powerful characters in novels, and not every down-and-out young man or woman is a prince or princess.
If one thinks that any streetside vendor or homeless elder could be a cunning boss in disguise, it just sadly proves that this person is naive and innocent.
Xiao Wen knew his ideas were somewhat unreliable, but he was desperate now and didn’t care about anything else.
In another three days, if his father couldn’t wake up, the entire Xiao family would surely crumble.
The butler, too, knew that the young master was burning with impatience.
Xiao Zhengxun had fallen into a coma unexpectedly, the lady of the house was indecisive, and young Xiao Wen had been battling a bunch of savvy old foxes for months.
He had been pushed to his limits.
He’d done everything he could to preserve the family.
Even though placing hope in Xiao Qiang seemed a bit laughable, he could understand Xiao Wen’s desperation.
“Young Master, rest assured, I’ve arranged for people to protect Wang Yue.”
“Hmm, let’s go.
Let’s go see her.
I have a hunch that my brother will be appearing soon.”
As he said these words, Xiao Wen stepped straight into his black Mercedes Benz.
