"The condition is still stable. However," the doctor closed the medical file in his hand, "the patient’s mood is rather pessimistic, which is not conducive to recovery. The family should provide more support and encouragement to help the patient emerge from the shadows and face life positively."
Han Dashan nodded vigorously as he listened, "Thank you, doctor, for saving my sister’s life. Thank you, thank you."
He originally wanted to shake the doctor’s hand, but when the doctor avoided it, he withdrew without any embarrassment and promised enthusiastically, "I will definitely encourage our Jiaojiao."
Even Han’s father couldn’t help but glance at his son in astonishment at this sudden change in attitude.
Pei Xinyuan watched coldly from the side, feeling very strange.
Just one night passed, and the vampire who clung to his sister to suck blood turned into a five-good brother who cared deeply for his sister?
Unless Han Dashan was possessed!
Or there was something driving him to act this way, simply put, money!
Thinking of this, Pei Xinyuan’s heart trembled.
Could it be that Han Dashan thought he could become a caring brother to lift the police surveillance and regain his freedom?
Pei Xinyuan shifted his gaze to Han’s father, who also looked puzzled, feeling like laughing. Was this a lack of prior communication, or did Han’s father not know someone wanted to bribe them?
Wait, it’s not entirely impossible.
The father and son are both selfish, and Han’s father seems accustomed to being a dictator. He doesn’t just show no feelings for his daughter but also bossed his son around. And she knew that Han Dashan, over thirty years old, was still unmarried, partly because he was lazy and partly because most of Jiaojiao’s money was squandered by Han’s father.
If the son harbored no dissatisfaction toward his father, that would be strange!
So Han Dashan wanted to cut his father off and swallow the bribe from Mr. Bai alone!
Pei Xinyuan glanced at Han Dashan, who was playing the good brother after seeing the doctor off at the door, and secretly sent her suspicion to Jiang Lingxi via her phone.
Jiang Lingxi was thinking about whether to work on the Han family father and son. When she saw Pei Xinyuan’s message, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
After hanging up the video call with Pei Xinyuan earlier, she had discussed the next steps with Shen Yunqing.
Since the Han family father and son behaved so poorly, they should pay the price for their actions.
Her plan was to use their tactics against them. Since Bai Shengyu wanted to bribe the Han family father and son, let the bribe become their death warrant.
However, this required a prerequisite: sow discontent between father and son.
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t even made a move, and Han Dashan already had his own plans.
Really, it saved her a lot of trouble!
[Xinyuan, without letting Han Jiaojiao’s father know, help Han Dashan escape restrictions and allow him to meet Bai Shengyu alone.]
Originally intending to remind the police not to lower their guard because Han Dashan’s sudden change in behavior, Pei Xinyuan received this message and thought, "..."
Trusting Jiang Lingxi, after some hesitation, she replied with one word: [Okay.]
"Your Majesty plans to let the Han family father and son break apart over money?"
Jiang Lingxi looked up into the eyes of Shen Yunqing, who was sitting at the desk, "Aren’t they here for money anyway? Then dying for money is a fitting end for them."
As she spoke, Jiang Lingxi exuded a cold aura.
People like the Han family father and son, who only waste air by living, could also be worth something if they helped deal with someone like Bai Shengyu!
Indeed, the circle she’s in now hides a lot of dirt, but there are also many who truly love their field.
The existence of someone like Bai Shengyu has killed countless dreams.
Han Dashan was desperate for money and put on a good show all afternoon. Not only was he tired from acting, but even Pei Xinyuan was tired of watching.
As evening approached, he glanced at the police still stationed outside the ward and then shifted his eyes to Pei Xinyuan.
"Xinyuan, um, Ms. Pei, could I trouble you to accompany me out for a while? Is it convenient?"
"Where do you want to go?"
As Pei Xinyuan asked, the policeman at the door stood up from his seat.
"I just want to buy some flowers or fruit for Jiaojiao. I remember there are shops at the hospital entrance. There’s nothing in the ward, and it’s all clean and smells of disinfectant. How could she have a good mood staying here all day? I just want her to see some flowers and eat some fruit; it might improve her mood."
With Han Dashan’s deliberate expression, if it was the first time she saw and heard this yesterday, Pei Xinyuan might have really believed it.
But now, with suspicions in her mind, it all seemed fake to her!
After a moment of silence, Han Dashan pointed a finger at his father, "My dad is still here; can I run away?"
That’s not necessarily true.
Thinking this way, remembering Jiang Lingxi’s task, Pei Xinyuan thought to herself that Sister Xixi was right; Han Dashan was really asking for her cooperation, "Brother Han, you really think things through. Let me accompany you."
No way, in just one afternoon, Xinyuan, this silly girl, really believed her brother was being sincere to her?
He surely had another motive!
But these words could only scream in her mind as she watched her friend follow Han Dashan out.
The police habitually wanted to follow, but Han Dashan frowned, "Ms. Pei is coming with me, and the police are still not at ease. I’m Jiaojiao’s real brother; if not for her, for whom am I doing this?"
Pei Xinyuan silently replied in her heart: It’s right not to trust him; he’s definitely for his own good.
But she outwardly assured, "Brother Han really took good care of Jiaojiao today; I think it’s okay to trust him this time."
Han’s father watched the two backs leaving, his forehead wrinkling.
His son’s sudden devotion to his daughter really shocked him.
But this afternoon, he couldn’t find a chance to ask what his son was really thinking. Could he genuinely become a caring brother?
His intuition told him it was impossible; there was definitely something suspicious.
With that thought, he was about to follow but was stopped before he reached the door.
"Uncle, you better stay and watch over your daughter."
The hospital entrance had no shortage of flower and fruit shops.
Han Dashan headed to the largest and most complex-looking one, wandering left and right inside. He glanced back at Pei Xinyuan, who was earnestly choosing flowers, and called a staff member, "Where’s the bathroom?"
"Exit to the left, walk straight a hundred meters."
Pei Xinyuan immediately knew he intended to escape with this excuse. When Han Dashan looked over, she nodded in cooperation, "I’ll wait here; go quickly and come back fast."
Han Dashan agreed readily and, once out of the flower shop, walked dozens of meters out, hailed a taxi, and after getting in, he closed the door, "Driver, hurry to Baiyu Mingzhuang."
Upon hearing the destination, the taxi driver couldn’t help but glance at him before stepping on the accelerator to head there.
Pei Xinyuan waited for nearly twenty minutes - enough even if he needed time for a big one - before she ’returned to the hospital in a panic.’
Seeing his son not coming back with her, without waiting for Pei Xinyuan to speak, Han’s father reacted faster than anyone else on the scene, slapping his thigh and angrily swearing, "That bastard dared to go there alone behind my back; he’s really grown wings!"
On the other side, Bai Shengyu’s brows furrowed as his assistant led in only Han Dashan, "Where’s the other one?"
