Tang Xi stood at the door of the ward.
This is the intensive care unit, where family visits are prohibited, and Tang Xi could only look at the situation inside through the transparent glass window.
The nurse said that Xu Yiran hasn’t woken up since he fell into a coma.
He suffered severe head injuries.
Multiple fractures throughout his body.
It was only after several resuscitations that his life was saved.
But whether he can wake up is still an unknown, Xu Yiran has been in critical condition the entire time.
Tang Xi stood outside the door, unwilling to leave.
She just wanted to take a few glances at him from here.
She didn’t want to believe that Fu Tingzhou was behind this.
But that bodyguard...
That was the Fu Family’s bodyguard, trained by them for many years.
That was the bodyguard who trained with Nie Xiaoyun and the others.
Tang Xi bit her lips tightly, the lips cracked and bled, her clear eyes intently staring into the intensive care unit.
She closed her eyes, pressing her hands together in a plea.
She hoped that Xu Yiran could wake up, safe and unharmed.
Surrounding her, the noisy sounds persisted, her devotion exceptionally earnest, almost kneeling at the door of the intensive care unit.
What’s most abundant here are the devout family members of the patients.
Yet in the hospital, there are countless families willing to believe in the divine, entrusting the last shred of their rationality.
Footsteps suddenly sounded nearby.
Tang Xi paid them no mind.
But when she smelled a faint scent of agarwood mixed with tobacco in the air.
At that moment, Tang Xi’s body tensed up.
As if all the blood in her body had reversed its flow.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
This scent, she was extremely familiar with it, instantly feeling a chill run down her spine.
Tang Xi slowly lifted her gaze, she looked at the man standing about a meter away from her. In that instant, she clenched her teeth tightly, slowly rising to her feet, as if time and space around her momentarily stood still.
She looked at him, and he also looked at her.
Their gazes collided in the noisy atmosphere.
Tang Xi heard herself speak, "Why did you do this?"
Tang Xi took a deep breath, "He’s your brother, he calls you ’Third Brother’, why would you do this!"
Xu Ze was taken aback, "Miss Tang, what are you talking about? What happened to Young Master Xu..."
He didn’t finish his sentence when Fu Tingzhou cut in coldly, "You think Xu Yiran’s car accident was orchestrated by me?"
"Isn’t it? The driver who caused the accident is a bodyguard from the Fu Family, how can you explain this? You’re not going to say it was just an accident, are you?"
Fu Tingzhou fell silent for a few seconds, looking into the resentment in the woman’s eyes and listening to her accusations. He couldn’t help but scoff at himself, realizing that in her heart, she also thought he was responsible.
He was never someone who liked to explain himself.
Fu Tingzhou is always decisive and resolute in his actions.
He takes responsibility for what he has done, and he doesn’t for what he hasn’t.
"Indeed, it was an accident. As for the matter regarding the bodyguard, I’m also investigating. Although he’s a bodyguard from the Fu Family, who can guarantee that nobody had bribed him?" Because that driver, Wen Jiaming, fled North City right after the accident.
Someone must have helped him from behind, or else the escape wouldn’t have been so swift.
When Fu Tingzhou learned about the incident, he immediately ordered a citywide search.
A dirty water has been thrown onto the Fu Family just like that.
Fu Tingzhou had never been soft on the Xu Family.
After seeing Tang Xi and Xu Yiran together in disarray in the same room, his heart had hardened against the Xu Family, and now several of their projects were under the Fu Corporation’s thumb. If it wasn’t for the Xu Pharmaceutical Group’s deep roots in North City, they might have already been acquired by the Fu Corporation.
At this moment, Tang Xi didn’t believe a word he said.
She looked at him coldly, "I should’ve seen it clearly long ago, that’s the kind of person you are. When it comes to those around you, you never go soft if it touches your interests."
Fu Tingzhou frowned deeply, he never expected Tang Xi’s misunderstanding to be so profound.
Even if he didn’t like Xu Yiran, considering the brotherly affection of the past, even if he were to make a move against the Xu Family, he would not take Xu Yiran’s life.
Especially not by arranging something as despicable as a car accident from behind the scenes.
"I’ll say it one last time, it wasn’t me."
Tang Xi just gave a bitter smile and shook her head, tears slowly blurring her vision.
It was wrong from the start.
It was all wrong from the beginning.
The mistake was in liking him.
The mistake was with herself.
It was her own naivety.
That harmed Xu Yiran, now lying in the intensive care unit.
If she had left North City back then, maybe none of this would have happened.
