Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Dijing First People's Hospital.

People were coming and going outside the emergency room. Huo Weiwei stumbled as she rushed over and almost bumped into a nurse.

She grabbed the nurse's clothes and asked anxiously, "Nurse, my, my uncle—"

"Family members, don't worry, wait outside!" The nurse said a few words of reassurance before pulling off her clothes and heading into the emergency room.

Feeling completely lost, Huo Weiwei clutched her phone, wanting to call her older brother, but found that her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't dial the number.

"Young Miss!" Zi Yao parked the car and rushed over, supporting the swaying Huo Weiwei. "Don't worry, the head of the family will definitely be alright."

When Wu Zhao came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, he saw Huo Weiwei and Zi Yao pacing anxiously at the door of the emergency room.

She asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you two doing standing there?"

"Miss Wu!" Zi Yao looked at Wu Zhao with a mixture of shock and delight. "Our patriarch—"

Huo Weiwei rushed over, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Where is my uncle? Is he... is he still being treated?"

What kind of emergency treatment?

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow: "What is he trying to save? With me here, no one can hurt him."

Huh? Huo Weiwei stared at her blankly, tears welling up in her eyes.

A short while later, Qingyao pushed Gu Chen, who had changed his clothes, out of the changing room next to the restroom.

However, he wasn't sitting in a custom-made wheelchair, but rather the kind used by patients in the hospital.

"Uncle!" Huo Weiwei rushed towards Gu Chen in surprise.

She looked Gu Chen up and down, then asked pitifully, "Uncle, are you alright?"

Although Gu Chen's face was somewhat pale, he did not appear to be injured.

He shook his head, but his ears, hidden among his hair, were slightly red.

"I'm fine, thanks to... Zhao Zhao protecting me." Gu Chen raised his hand and patted Huo Weiwei's shoulder. "You're such a grown-up, why do you still cry like that?"

Huo Weiwei burst into tears of joy: "That's wonderful! I was so scared when I got the call from the hospital!"

"Yes, I just came out of the house and saw the news... Patriarch, I'm so glad you're alright." Zi Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was relieved to see that Qingyao was also unharmed.

Qingyao felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about what had happened back then.

The car accident happened so suddenly that he swerved and almost hit a pedestrian.

As a result, in order to avoid pedestrians, he was unable to turn in time and the entire back seat was directly hit by an oncoming car.

In the instant of the collision, he didn't even have time to think of his last words before he suddenly found himself on the road.

The blast wave sent him flying to the base of the wall, where he plunged headfirst into the green belt.

When he was helped up by passersby, he saw Wu Zhao holding Gu Chen standing on the side of the street where flames were raging.

The tall, handsome man was held firmly in the arms of the beautiful woman with a calm expression.

...That scene was truly unforgettable.

The person in the car opposite caught fire immediately, and a passerby on the roadside was also injured by the explosion.

The person in the emergency room now is that passerby, who was brought here by Qingyao.

It's also his fault for not explaining things clearly to the people in the ambulance. He said a few extra words when he called Ziyao, which caused them to misunderstand.

"We're all alright, thankfully Miss Wu is here." Qingyao, having regained her senses, looked at Wu Zhao with exceptionally bright eyes.

Wu Zhao waved his hand: "I promised to protect your family head, so naturally I can't go back on my word."

"But this car accident... wasn't an accident."

Who would attack Gu Chen outside the Imperial Capital Garrison?

Such audacity and such perfect timing.

I wouldn't think of anyone else but Ye Linyan.

"Let's go back first," Gu Chen said. "This...is Ye family territory."

Qingyao nodded: "The patriarch just had a simple check-up and there's nothing wrong."

“I’ve already contacted Jin Yao, he’ll be back soon.” Zi Yao walked to the elevator and pressed the button.

He added, "The car is right outside. Let's go back and talk. Miss, wipe your tears."

Wu Zhao handed Huo Weiwei a handkerchief and teased, "Your snot is about to drip down your nose."

The group left the hospital very quickly.

Shortly after they left, several men in suits came up one after another.

They grabbed a passing nurse and demanded aggressively, "Where are the injured from the car accident that just happened in front of the guard post?"

"He's in the emergency room." The startled nurse pointed. "The patient's condition is still unstable; visits are not allowed—"

The man in the suit sneered, shook off the nurse, and rushed into the emergency room.

The doctor, who was still observing the situation, frowned and scolded the few people who squeezed in: "Who are you? Patients are not allowed to visit now!"

"Get out of my way! How dare you meddle in the affairs of the Gu family?"

The man in the suit rudely pushed the doctor aside and approached the bedside: "Young Master Gu Chen, our master learned that you were hospitalized after a car accident and specifically asked me to come and transfer you to another hospital..."

"The patient's condition is not suitable for transfer to another hospital, what are you trying to do!"

Before the doctor could finish speaking, one of the men reached for the monitor cable.

Another person lifted the blanket.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Amidst the chaos, a strange, wounded face appeared before everyone.

"Damn it, it's not Gu Chen?!"

The man in the black suit's face darkened, and he grabbed the doctor's collar: "Where is Gu Chen? Where is Gu Chen, who was supposed to be on the verge of death in the car accident?!"

The doctor, struggling to breathe, stammered, "I...I don't know what you're saying!"

"Let go of the doctor! Call the police immediately! Someone is harming the patient here!"

The emergency room immediately descended into chaos.

Gu Chen and Wu Zhao had already boarded the car back to the villa and were heading home.

"Master, are we going to the police station again today?" Zi Yao asked, who was driving. "The police station hasn't contacted us since your accident. Should we call them to let them know?"

Gu Chen said indifferently, "No need. If something happens at their doorstep, they'll come sooner or later even if we don't come now."

"Go back and wait."

Zi Yao responded, "Yes, Master."

Ziyao was in a hurry when she left home, so she only drove one car.

This resulted in the back seats being somewhat cramped.

Wu Zhao sat in the middle, with Gu Chen on his left and Huo Weiwei on his right.

Wu Zhao's legs were pressed tightly against Gu Chen's legs, and a little heat seeped into his body through his trousers.

Although he knew that the other person had no feeling in their legs, Wu Zhao still felt somewhat uneasy.

Now that Huo Weiwei has confirmed that Gu Chen and Wu Zhao are both safe and sound, she is especially clingy to Wu Zhao.

She clung to Wu Zhao, saying, "Thank goodness you're all alright, I was terrified."

"I never expected anyone to be so bold."

Wu Zhao gently touched the ring with his thumb. "This capital city... isn't very safe either."

Has Ye Linyan become so powerful that he controls everything?

Today's car accident...was it a warning?

Did he know that last night's fire was related to her?

Wu Zhao couldn't quite figure it out.

As soon as the car entered the alleyway of the villa, Wu Zhao spotted Ye Linyan standing beside the ruins of the Ye family's small building.

The man's long hair was still tied up and draped over his shoulders, with a slight smile on his lips.

A small, dark green snake was slowly flicking its tongue on his shoulder.

It's as if...they were waiting here specifically for them.

"parking."

Gu Chen said coldly.

The car window rolled down, and Ye Linyan's smiling voice carried a hint of worry: "Mr. Gu, I heard you were in a car accident this morning. It's so good to see you're safe and sound."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ye." Gu Chen's gaze was calm. "I also heard that the small building caught fire last night. It's good that you're alright."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu." Ye Linyan chuckled. "With such danger around you, Mr. Gu, I'm really worried that you won't be able to protect your precious child."

His words were pointed.

Gu Chen sneered, "Mr. Ye might as well worry more about his own little building; he might not be so lucky next time."

The two exchanged a few cryptic remarks, testing each other's limits.

Wu Zhao listened silently to their back-and-forth, feeling a strange sense of unease.

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he rolled up the car window.

"drive."

Before the car drove away, Wu Zhao noticed that Ye Linyan was staring at him.

His mouth opened and closed, silently saying something.

Wu Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Oh no, Gu Chen, Huo Tingchen is in danger."
