The other party hesitated for a moment: "I don't know the details yet, I can only wait for Yang Jingxing to wake up and ask him, but..."

Mr. Huo frowned: "But what?"

The man in black shook his head: "Yang Jingxing is seriously injured and may become a vegetable and never wake up."

"That idiot!"

Mr. Huo cursed. He had wasted such a good opportunity. After this, that woman would be difficult to deal with if she was alert.

After a while.

Mr. Huo's face was still not looking good. He strode out and said in a deep voice, "Go find a woman and send her to the beach villa. I need to relieve my sexual desire."

However, the man in black did not move, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"We can't go back for now. Our car has a flat tire."

Mr. Huo: "......"

What a damn bad luck!

What happened tonight? All the bad things happened to me.

"Do women still need it?" asked the man in black.

Mr. Huo snorted coldly: "No need."

at the same time.

In a private ward in the central hospital.

"Miss Qiao is fine. She just drank some juice with sleeping pills, so she hasn't woken up yet."

When the doctor's words came, Huo Shiyan hummed, and his frown relaxed slightly.

At this time, Assistant Yan walked over quickly and lowered his voice.

"Mr. Huo, our people have found the secret room. Please go over there immediately."

Huo Shiyan took a deep look at the woman lying on the bed, then retracted his gaze and strode out of the hospital.

Not long after he left, Qiao Qin woke up. She was stunned at first when she saw the unfamiliar ceiling above her head, and then her memory of last night slowly came back to her.

At the engagement party.

That Yang Jingxing really has bad intentions!

But, what happened next?

Why was she lying in the hospital? Who saved her?

Qiao Qin fell into deep thought when there was a knock on the door and a young doctor in a white coat walked in.

"How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

His voice was gentle and friendly.

Qiao Qin shook her head. Perhaps it was because she saw the other person right after waking up, she felt an inexplicable trust in her heart.

"Um, who sent me to the hospital?"

Pei Zhengchuan was stunned for a moment.

Followed by.

"Do not you remember?"

"I was just attending a relative's engagement party, and then I seemed to faint suddenly, and I don't remember anything that happened afterwards."

Qiao Qin subconsciously concealed the matter of Yang Jingxing.

Pei Zhengchuan's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "Sorry, I don't know much, but I saw you sleeping at the door of the hospital when I was at work, so..."

After the words fell, Qiao Qin frowned even more tightly.

Who sent her to the hospital? It couldn't be Yang Jingxing.

No matter what, she looked at Pei Zhengchuan with gratitude and said sincerely: "Thank you."

"No, it's all my job." Pei Zhengchuan shook his head, his eyes falling on her bulging belly. "You should be close to your due date. My suggestion is to stay in the hospital for a few more days and do some tests."

Of course Qiao Qin had no objection. After he left, she took out her cell phone and found two missed calls.

"Xiaoqin, where are you? Why didn't you answer the phone just now?" Lin Xingran's worried voice came from the other end.

Qiao Qin glanced at the ward, automatically ignored her previous question, and said with a smile: "I didn't hear the phone call just now, what's wrong?"

Lin Xingran didn't think much about it and said bluntly, "Nothing. Did you go to the Huo family's engagement party tonight? I heard from a friend that something happened, so I thought of calling you."

Qiao Qin's eyelids jumped: "What happened?"

She was afraid of being exposed, so she quickly added: "I left early, so I don't know what happened next."

"It seems like a murder has occurred. The hotel has been sealed off." Lin Xingran patted his chest and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately you were not at the scene."

Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment, a little anxious: "Murder? Who is in trouble?"

Lin Xingran didn't notice anything unusual about her and told her all the information she knew.

"I don't know the details, but it seems that the illegitimate son of the Yang family, Yang Jingxing, was beaten up severely by someone and is now lying in the hospital for emergency treatment."

Yang Jingxing?

It turned out to be him!

Qiao Qin was certain that someone had saved her, but who was that person?

Suddenly, a stern face flashed through my mind.

next second.

She shook her head. It couldn't be Huo Shiyan. Not to mention that they had already broken up, and the other party hadn't even been to the engagement party.

Qiao Qin thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer, so she had to give up in the end. The man didn't leave any information, probably because he didn't want her to know.

In the blink of an eye.

On the second day.

"The baby is in good health and is due in the middle of next month." Pei Zhengchuan walked in and handed her the film he had just printed out.

Seeing the baby that had already taken shape on it, Qiao Qin's eyes warmed up and the corners of her eyes became slightly moist.

Although a lot of things happened in the past few months, as long as the baby can be born and grow up safely, everything she has done is meaningful.

Followed by.

Pei Zhengchuan said: "This period of time is quite special. I suggest that you ask your husband to take a leave to stay with you."

The happiness on Qiao Qin's face froze slightly, and she said stiffly, "He has passed away."

"Sorry, I don't know." Pei Zhengchuan's eyes flashed with apology, and he hurriedly said: "If you need anything, you can call me for help."

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and opened the address book.

"This is my private number. If you have any questions, you can call me directly. Women are very weak during childbirth, so it's better to have a man by their side."

Having said that, Qiao Qin couldn't refuse and took out her cell phone to exchange contact information.

Pei Zhengchuan left, but his words just now kept lingering in his mind.

Qiao Qin lowered her eyes and touched her bulging belly. She seemed to be able to feel another heartbeat where her palm was pressed against her belly.

This is a very novel experience.

The emotions in her eyes were very complicated. After a while, she murmured, "Baby, will you blame me if you don't have a dad to grow up with you?"

Qiao Qin's voice was very soft, drifting in the air with the wind, and no response was received.

In the afternoon.

The warm sunlight shines through the window into the room.

Qiao Qin suddenly felt a little stuffy in her chest and wanted to go out for a walk, but she heard gossip around the corner.

"Dr. Pei is so handsome, but he's still single and doesn't seem to be interested in girls. I'm starting to wonder if he likes men."

"Maybe they just have high standards."

"What do you mean? What do you know?"

......

Qiao Qin frowned and was about to turn around and leave, but she heard the following content was related to her.

"Isn't there a new patient in Ward 9? It seems that he just took a sleeping pill and there is no serious problem at all. But Dr. Pei has been coming here these two days. Don't you think it's abnormal?"

"You're overthinking it. The person living in Ward 9 is a pregnant woman!"

"Of course not for ordinary pregnant women, but the patient's identity is not ordinary. I have seen her in a private hospital before."

"What's your identity? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."

"You know Huo's Jewelry, right? It's her husband's property. Her husband died a few months ago and is said to have left behind hundreds of billions of assets."

Hundreds of billions!!!

For working people like them, this is a completely unimaginable number.

"No wonder Dr. Pei is so attentive. It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I would be willing to do it. As long as I can be favored by a rich woman, I won't have to worry about the rest of my life."

Qiao Qin did not continue to listen to the rest of the conversation, nor did she want to go out for a walk. She walked back to the ward unknowingly.

She was very grateful to Huo Yan for leaving her a large sum of money so that she wouldn't have to worry about material things in the future, but she also lost a lot because of this. Except for Lin Xingran, most of the other people approached her for the sake of profit.

This was the case with Huo Shiyan, this was the case with Yang Jingxing, and I didn't expect that Dr. Pei was also like this.

Qiao Qin felt somewhat disheartened. She sat on the bed, hugged her legs, buried her head in her arms, and curled up into a ball, trying to get some warmth.

Who else can she trust?

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Ms. Qiao, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?" Pei Zhengchuan came, wearing a familiar white coat and a friendly smile on his face.

If it were in the past, Qiao Qin would be touched by the concern of the person in front of her.

Now......

The conversation she just heard flashed through her mind. She felt her stomach churning and she felt a little nauseous, but she tried hard not to show it.

"Very well, I plan to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Although she didn't say anything, her distant attitude instantly made Pei Zhengchuan realize that something was wrong.

"Do you believe those rumors, too?"

Qiao Qin froze, she didn't expect Pei Zhengchuan to ask this directly, she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the man in front of her.

Silence gave the answer.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment and the atmosphere became tense.

Pei Zhengchuan chuckled, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect them to spread it so far. I'm sorry, I hope it bothered you."

Followed by.

"However, I still want to explain." Pei Zhengchuan's voice was low, as if he was lost in memories of the past.

"I was born in a single-parent family. My father passed away early, and my mother worked hard to raise me. Unfortunately, she died of illness before she could enjoy her life."

Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment.

She raised her head suddenly and met Pei Zhengchuan's serious eyes.

"I don't know why, but I always think of her when I see you, so I can't help but come over a few more times to check on you."

The breeze blew across my cheeks, ruffling my fine hair.

Qiao Qin didn't have time to pay attention. Her eyes widened slightly and she was still in shock. She had never expected the truth to be like this.

But soon, my heart was swallowed by a feeling of guilt.

Dr. Pei kindly sent her to the hospital and showed her all kinds of care and concern, but she actually believed those rumors.

Qiao Qin blushed and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I, I..."

Halfway through his speech, he couldn't go on and could only lower his head and repeat.

"sorry."

"It's okay, I understand."

Pei Zhengchuan was as gentle as ever, and seemed not to take the matter to heart at all. Instead, he comforted her.

"Ms. Qiao is alert, which is a good thing. In the future, you should not drink anything that has left your sight."

This was a reminder of the lesson she learned at the engagement party.

Qiao Qin felt even more guilty.

Dr. Pei is such a nice guy, how could she misunderstand him?

Just as Qiao Qin was racking her brains to think of a remedy, Pei Zhengchuan suddenly spoke with a cautious tone.

"After you are discharged from the hospital, can we still keep in touch? Just as friends?"

"of course can!"

Qiao Qin agreed immediately. The guilt that almost overwhelmed her in her heart was slightly relieved, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She raised her lips slightly and held out her hand, "Nice to meet you, my friend."

......

the other side.

In a dark and secret basement.

Huo Shiyan stood in the shadows, half of his face hidden in the darkness so his expression couldn't be seen, but he exuded a strong sense of hostility.

The temperature around seemed to drop a few degrees.

"Mr. Huo, it is you."

His voice was hoarse and filled with deep hatred.

There was a stack of documents on the table. The yellowed papers were a bit old, but the words on them could still be barely made out.

That was the evidence of Mr. Huo's communication with the underground gang.

[On September 13, the family will rush back to Yuncheng from Xiangjiang. You guys go to Longgang Wharf and wait...]

Mr. Huo had been planning for this day for a long time, even going so far as to switch his sister shortly after she was born.

Huo Xiaofei became the fake daughter of the Huo family. When the time was right, Mr. Huo Sanye told her her real identity and threatened her to expose the whereabouts of his family.

Huo Shiyan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned slightly white from the force, and veins bulged on his forehead.

The bloody scene of that night unconsciously emerged in my mind.

"I want him to die a miserable death."

Huo Shiyan's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth, a word almost jumping out from between his teeth.

Assistant Yan had never seen Huo Shiyan like this before, and he couldn't help but feel worried. At this time, he forgot about being afraid and reminded him:

"Boss Huo, please don't do anything stupid!"

Huo Shiyan took a deep breath and slowly suppressed the violent emotions in his heart.

If it were in the past, he might really choose to die together with that beast, Mr. Huo Sanye.

However, it is different now.

He had someone in this world he cared about, and Qiao Qin's face and the unborn baby in her belly unconsciously appeared in his mind.

That's their child.

Huo Shiyan's eyes deepened slightly. He had completely calmed down and his rationality gradually returned.

Mr. Huo must die!

Only when he died could the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for eighteen years dissipate, and only then could his parents' spirits in heaven be comforted.

Besides, we can't let that beast die too easily.

Huo Shiyan thought for a long time, his eyes fell on the stack of old documents on the table, and suddenly he had an idea.

"Huo Xiaofei's case hasn't been solved yet, right?"

Huo Shiyan suddenly asked.

Assistant Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had calmed down, then nodded: "The police have not found any news about the man in black yet."

A hint of coldness flashed across Huo Shiyan's deep eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Help me do something."

Mr. Huo, are you ready?

He would destroy little by little what the other party valued, make them fall into despair, then give them a glimmer of hope, and finally make them completely despair again.

Assistant Yan couldn't help but shudder.
