When Ye Yan regained consciousness, she was already receiving an IV drip in the ward.

It was a very familiar scene. The last time it happened was on the day Ye Youcheng was diagnosed. The only difference was that this time the person who caught him in time was Qiao Lin.

Is it hypoglycemia again? Ye Yan moved the hand that was receiving the injection and felt that her chest was stuffy and she couldn't breathe.

This was not the first time he fainted due to this problem, so he did not take it seriously. After recovering for a while, he tried hard to get up.

He also had to go check on Xu Qingran. Seeing that it was already dawn outside the window, he thought he must have slept for several hours, which was much longer than the time he had fainted from hypoglycemia in the past.

Just as he was about to pull out the needle from his hand, his two assistants came in with food and daily necessities and stopped him in time.

"Brother Yan, what are you doing? You can't pull this out."

"It's just glucose. It's already dawn and I've almost used up all the glucose. I need to go see Xu Qingran."

Ye Yan said indifferently and was about to pull out the needle, but the two men insisted on holding his hand.

"It's not glucose. The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for... somatization. Don't you remember what happened last night? The doctor gave you a sedative and you fell asleep. Brother Zhuo and the others can't show up, so they asked us to keep an eye on you and find a chance to take you back to S City."

"Besides, Mr. Xu is still in the ICU and can't be seen for the time being. You should rest well and get the injection first."

The assistant hesitated to explain, denying his own theory that the cause was hypoglycemia.

When he heard the word "somatization", he was stunned for a second. He knew about this thing. Song Zhen had mentioned it to him. It was the beginning of severe depression.

So he didn't faint last night, otherwise why would he need a sedative?

He was still a little dazed, and after a long time of confusion, he couldn't recall any memory of last night.

He only vaguely remembered that he had quarreled with Xu Rong and Lin Anyi, but he couldn't remember a single word of what they said.

"Tranquilizer...what did I do last night that you'd give me that thing, like a madman?"

He is a very face-conscious person and also understands the use of sedatives, which are mostly used for patients with emotional outbursts.

He had watched the video footage of himself losing control. It was fine when he was alone, but to have an attack in public was like swimming on his back in the street.

In response to his question, the two assistants looked at each other uncomfortably, looking a little conflicted. After hesitating for a moment, they slowly spoke.

"You yelled at Mr. Xu and his wife, then collapsed. Assistant Qiao and I rushed you to the emergency room. You woke up during the examination, but your heart rate was nearly 180. You must have been in extreme pain. You were unable to cooperate in the emergency room and kept crying, which scared us all. The doctor had no choice but to administer a sedative. After the examination, there was nothing serious. The doctor suspected... your previous illness had relapsed and worsened."

The assistant gave a general idea, but it was enough for Ye Yan to understand what happened.

It’s okay, we’re all family anyway, so it doesn’t matter even if I see his most embarrassing side.

At this moment, he didn't care about his face. Although he had forgotten a lot of things that happened last night, the only thing he didn't forget was that Xu Qingran had an accident.

He loosened his hand that was about to pull out the needle, and the assistant quickly helped him sit down and tidied his hair.

Since Xu Qingran is still in the ICU, there is really no point for him to go there now.

The assistant bought him his favorite breakfast, but he couldn't eat a single bite now. He just took a look at it and shook his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

It was a physiological nausea and had nothing to do with his worry about Xu Qingran.

In the end, he only drank a sip of water. His body seemed to have a terminal illness and he was in so much pain that he was tired even from breathing.

Later, the nurse gave him oxygen, and he finally felt better and was forced to close his eyes and rest.

Now he couldn't leave and didn't want to leave. He had to wait for Xu Qingran to wake up.

He was afraid that the bloody plot in the novel would happen to him again. What if this kid woke up with amnesia and remembered everyone but only him?

Or maybe Lin Anyi secretly took the person away without telling him.

He had too many things to worry about, and his mind was a mess, which made him temporarily ignore the inhuman pain his body was experiencing.

Later, he could no longer tell whether the images in his mind were his own imagination or a dream. In short, he was not very clear-headed.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a man sitting beside the bed. He was not one of his staff members, but a young stranger. One could tell at a glance that he had the aura of a powerful man.

"Who are you?" Ye Yan stared at him curiously and asked, then looked up at the needle in her hand. She didn't know when the injection was finished and turned off.

His sixth sense told him that this man should be related to the Xu family.

Because his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Xu Qingran, but he is wilder and tougher than Xu Qingran.

"Guess?" the man asked him with a faint smile.

His tone is not the calm type, nor can he be called a dandy, but he is more of a free and easy person who pursues freedom.

With just these two words, Ye Yan already had the answer in her heart.

"Are you Xu Qingran's cousin? He had to go home overnight because of you."

Ye Yan answered with certainty. It was not entirely based on guesswork. Temperament cannot be deceived. Brothers always have similarities.

Xu Yao, like Xu Qingran, was rebellious against family rules.

That feeling is a stark contrast to the perfect heir like Pei Sujun, and can be seen through at a glance.

It seemed that Xu Yao did not expect that he would guess so accurately. He was a little surprised, and his eyes fell on Ye Yan with a little more admiration.

"I was wondering how my cousin, who had never been in a relationship during his adolescence, could easily fall for a vulgar person in the entertainment industry. Turns out you're different. Not only are you good-looking, but you're also smart. No wonder even Pei Sujun is willing to cover for you. You really are worth it. I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I really didn't know my second uncle asked him to come back overnight. My plane had just arrived over City A when he got into trouble."

Xu Yao smiled. The subconscious question "Who are you" that Ye Yan asked after opening her eyes just now made him sure that Ye Yan really didn't know him.

But the fact that he was able to guess his identity in the blink of an eye was enough to prove that Ye Yan was cautious and observant, and a thoughtful person.

Such a person is by no means a beautiful vase with only good looks; his charm goes far beyond visual.

Ye Yan was in no mood to chat with him. She felt that he had crossed the line a bit, so she couldn't help but complain: "You have time to come and see your cousin's boyfriend. Did you come to inform me specifically because the responsibility for the accident has been investigated?"

Apart from Xu Qingran's health, he only cares about this now. He wants to know who is responsible for the car accident, whether it is man-made or accidental, and whether the possibility of malicious commercial competition can be ruled out.

He tends to overthink a lot, and this problem becomes more serious after he becomes depressed.

Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Xu Yao realized that he was totally wrong to come to see this rumored "brother's sister" out of curiosity. This time, it seemed like he was being taught a lesson.

"All I know is that the driver was fatigued and accidentally engaged his high beam, which led to the tragedy. Do you think this is a complete investigation?"

Xu Yao asked tentatively. He could see that Ye Yan had something else in her words.

"That's bullshit. Even an actor like me has had my car rammed by someone hired by a rival, let alone you wealthy heirs. Tell your second uncle that the driver must be thoroughly investigated. It's better to be safe than sorry."

Don't blame him for being sensitive; all his persecution complexes come from personal experience.

Perhaps it was because his eyes were too serious, at that moment Xu Yao seemed to really smell the scent of conspiracy and did not refute him immediately.

Ye Yan was very tired. His physical strength now depended entirely on oxygen. So after saying what he wanted to say, he closed his eyes exhausted and ordered the other party to leave with his actions.

"I don't want to talk anymore, feel free to do as you please."

He wanted to rest well. He couldn't let his illness get worse. Xu Qingran was so seriously injured. He couldn't expect him to comfort him in the future. If he really couldn't stand up, he would have to comfort him instead.

Thinking of this, his half-closed eyes trembled and tears welled up in his eyes, and he felt so painful that he wanted to die.

Seeing that he was not in good condition, Xu Yao stopped disturbing him, went out quietly, and raised his hand to call his subordinates.

"Hire a private investigator to investigate the driver's background. Separately from the police's route, conduct the investigation in secrecy."

"Yes."
