Chapter 212: How Wonderful, One By One, Everyone Has Someone To Escape From
On the other side, Xiao Da drove into the hospital parking lot.
Bai Ying sat in the co-pilot seat, her clothes changed, a hot water bag warming her lower abdomen, holding brown sugar water in her hand, “Thank you for taking me back to the hotel, but you seem very experienced. Have you taken care of girlfriends like this before?”
Xiao Da looked straight ahead, “I have an older sister.”
Bai Ying understood. Many children of their generation had sibling pairings, like Shen Lichuan.
Raised with “deep love” from childhood by their older sister, their behavior was refined. Compared to only children who were unfamiliar with and didn’t understand the opposite sex, younger brothers were all graduates of “male virtue” doctoral programs, tempered by their advisor sisters, becoming good men qualified to be “ox and horse.”
“Then I, you—” Bai Ying blushed.
She was unreliable.
Bold and aggressive in front of sisters, but clumsy and awkward with men in real life.
Xiao Da parked the car and took charge, “Miss Bai Ying, I still have work to do.”
Seeing Bai Ying frozen, he fastened the seatbelt buckle and then held the tail end to prevent it from snapping at her.
“I appreciate your kindness, but you don’t understand me. I’m not good with words, and I’m excellent at scolding people. I don’t clean, and I look presentable because Director Liang dislikes mess. I grind my teeth and snore in my sleep, and I sleepwalk during deep sleep. Don’t be fooled by a meal of dumplings; when it comes to women, I’m actually worse than Director Liang.”
Bai Ying was speechless.
Xiao Da’s phone vibrated. He got out of the car to answer it. Su Chenghuai’s voice came through, “Director Liang instructed me to contact the Mo family. I’ve made progress; Lian Cheng cannot be Lin Xianzi’s daughter.”
Xiao Da paused, “Are you sure?”
“Certain.” Su Chenghuai stated decisively, “Regarding the daughter, Lin Xianzi searched for many years, but stopped searching for the past ten years. I heard a rumor that she found her daughter’s remains.”
“Now the conflict between the two branches of the Mo family is out in the open. Singapore prohibits guns, but after the year, Lin Xianzi experienced two shootings and one car accident, and there seemed to be an attempted kidnapping. She has intensified her personal security to the point of being impeccable.”
“Others couldn’t find an opportunity to strike in Singapore, so they had to lure her out of the country. After several attempts, Lin Xianzi remained unmoved. This whole Lian Yingying situation isn’t about the Mo family finding a bloodline; it’s about outsiders targeting her maternal family as bait.”
“Now that Mo Shifu is at a critical juncture, Lin Xianzi will not leave Singapore under any circumstances, but if she is pushed too far, she will retaliate. The Gu family and that Lian Yingying will only be cannon fodder. Anyone who gets involved at this point will suffer the same fate.”
Xiao Da heard a sound behind him; Bai Ying had gotten out of the car.
He raised his hand to press the car key to lock it and apologized, leaving first.
Arriving at the hospital room, Madam Wang was also there. Liang Chaosu sat back, “Thank you for your kindness. Lian Cheng is not stubborn; she is reasonable. She’s just used to playing with me and isn’t like this with outsiders. You don’t need to worry.”
Madam Wang shook her head and smiled, “As her teacher said, one moment you two siblings are bickering, and the next, the brother is squatting down to wash the sister’s feet. Your feelings are closer than ordinary siblings; others are just worrying unnecessarily.”
Professor Wang was a team leader at Qingxi Valley two years ago and had seen him interacting with Lian Cheng.
Liang Chaosu smiled without speaking. Glancing at Xiao Da, he nodded to Madam Wang. “I’ve found a male caregiver for Old Wang, and he’ll arrive tonight. Lian Cheng said Old Wang doesn’t like people getting too close. This caregiver used to be a bodyguard for a minister in the capital city. He speaks little, plays international chess, and because of his schedule, he’s a few days late.”
Madam Wang was stunned.
She had already found a caregiver at the hospital before the surgery. After the surgery, Professor Wang’s students automatically arranged shifts, and she couldn’t get involved, so the caregiver resigned.
Liang Chaosu had called several times to inquire about the illness. She had never mentioned anything about a caregiver, nor had Liang Chaosu asked.
Little did she know, he hadn’t ignored it, but had made arrangements that were only now being revealed.
Madam Wang stammered her thanks, realizing for the first time that a seemingly cold and unfeeling man could actually be observant of the smallest details, with his kindness expressed silently.
The hospital room fell silent for a moment. Xiao Da took the opportunity to escort Madam Wang upstairs.
Returning, he closed the door behind him and reported Su Chenghuai’s progress.
“Secretary Su confirmed Lin Xianzi will not come to Huaxia. If Miss Lian Cheng goes to Hong Kong, she will only be treated by Lin Xianzi as another trap that looks similar. The Gu family side will also regard Miss Lian Cheng as an obstacle. Facing enemies on both sides, she cannot go.”
Liang Chaosu pointed to the documents on the windowsill, “Do you think she will believe me?”
Xiao Da walked to the window and continued to process the documents. He endured for a moment before speaking, “Hong Kong’s public security is not as good as inland areas. There have still been shooting incidents in the past two years. The Mo family was capable of committing a major kidnapping case domestically more than twenty years ago; they may not hesitate to orchestrate ‘gang fights and innocent bystanders being shot’ news again.”
“If Miss Lian Cheng wants to acknowledge her family, you could directly contact Lin Xianzi and go to Singapore for a paternity test.”
Liang Chaosu gazed at him. Sunlight outside climbed to his shoulders, his face at the border of light and shadow, his eyebrows and eyes indistinct.
Xiao Da felt his gaze penetrate the sunlight, carrying an ice-cold temperature. He apologized and shut up, lowering his head to look at the documents.
Xiao Da had anticipated this.
It was easy to go to Singapore, and the paternity test was also easy to conduct. If Lian Cheng wasn’t Lin Xianzi’s daughter, Liang Chaosu would naturally feel at ease.
But their resemblance was too great, and the truthfulness of the remains was just a rumor. There was still a considerable probability; would Liang Chaosu dare to gamble?
Further consideration: if Lian Cheng was Lin Xianzi’s daughter, then as Mo Shifu was nearing the end of his life, the first wife, who had already been favored, would regain an heir.
The struggle for the Mo family fortune would immediately intensify to a frenzied degree. If Lin Xianzi could protect her, Lian Cheng would live; with the slightest oversight, Lian Cheng would die.
Liang Chaosu would never allow Lian Cheng to live in constant peril, gambling her life on probability.
In comparison, Hong Kong’s difficulty and danger were reduced by several grades.
But—
Lian Cheng wouldn’t like it.
She wouldn’t accept it.
She would only hate him more.
………………………………
In the parking lot, Xiao Da self-deprecatingly drew a line, and Bai Ying was unable to act shamelessly.
The bravado of kissing and hugging turned into shouting at the barbecue stall boss, “Add ten skewers, extra-extra-extra spicy.”
Lian Cheng drank beer, “This isn’t Chongqing; the proctology department refuses to treat self-abusive patients like you.”
Bai Ying cried profusely, “If they don’t accept me, do they treat sleepwalking?”
“No.” Lian Cheng took out tissues and meticulously wiped Bai Ying’s face, “But the psychology department offers heartbreak counseling.”
Bai Ying’s tears surged again, “Who’s heartbroken? I’m heartbroken because the boss made it extra-extra-extra spicy.”
“Beautiful lady, if you say it like that, I can’t hold back the spice.” Smoke billowed from the barbecue grill. The boss raised his phone, piercing through the thick smoke, “Family, everyone here can bear witness for me. This beautiful lady is heartbroken; it has nothing to do with my skewers, and I’m not extra-extra-extra spicy.”
Bai Ying hiccuped in fright. Lian Cheng felt embarrassed for her, “Uncle, are you live-streaming?”
“Yes, I’ve been live-streaming all along.” The boss put down his phone and smiled at Lian Cheng, “Don’t be scared, beautiful lady. I only had audio earlier and didn’t film you two; I’m not filming you now either.”
Bai Ying was angry, “Then you filmed me.”
The boss laughed heartily, “It’s okay if I filmed you. You look like a crying cat right now, with streaks on your face, left and right. Netizens won’t recognize you.”
Bai Ying was so ashamed she wanted to die. Lian Cheng quickly scanned the QR code to pay.
The two did not return to the hotel. One took a high-speed train and fled back to Nan Province overnight. The other took a plane and also flew to Hong Kong overnight.
It’s really good.
One, two, everyone has someone to escape from.
