Ultimately, he still wasn’t used to calling him ’father-in-law’ and chose to use ’you’ instead, asking Nangong Mingchuan to come out alone.
Nobody knew what he was going to do, including Tang Yuyan, who was also startled.
After exchanging a glance with his wife, Nangong Mingchuan stepped out of the ward and saw Qin Sijue not far down the hallway on the left.
As he approached, he didn’t feel like he was Qin Sijue’s father-in-law and that he should command some respect. Instead, he had grown accustomed to Qin Sijue’s arrogant and dismissive demeanor.
It wasn’t until he was close that Qin Sijue took something resembling a USB drive from his pocket.
Nangong Mingchuan’s brow furrowed as he stared at the unfamiliar object in his hand, then looked up, puzzled. "What is this?"
"The hospital elevator surveillance," Qin Sijue said, maintaining his aloof demeanor.
Nangong Mingchuan was even more puzzled.
Why would he give him the hospital surveillance?
Confused, he looked up at Qin Sijue again.
"If you want to know how you and your wife fell down, follow this clue. If you don’t want to investigate, that’s fine too."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Mingchuan was somewhat shocked.
What did he mean by that? Was he implying that their fall down the stairs wasn’t an accident but was premeditated?
But... could that be possible?
After all, who knew they were going to take the stairs at that time?
He hesitated before taking the object from Qin Sijue’s hand, his dark eyes still showing shock and disbelief.
Then, Qin Sijue took out a transparent bag, inside which was a pink pearl-like particle.
"You should be familiar with this," Qin Sijue eyed him.
Nangong Mingchuan looked at the pink pearl in the transparent bag; it was translucent, and he shouldn’t have seen such a thing before.
Yet the moment he saw the pearl, an image suddenly flashed in his mind—it was the day he hurried down the stairs, and it seemed like he had stepped on something that caused him to tumble down.
At that time, he didn’t think much of it, assuming it was just his haste causing him to slip and fall down the stairs.
But now that he thought about it, even in haste, he shouldn’t have missed seeing the steps under his feet.
"Where did you find this?" he looked up, asking Qin Sijue.
"Second floor, by the stairs."
Hearing the answer, Nangong Mingchuan became even more certain.
He really had stepped on this thing, and that’s why he slipped?
But who could it be, and why would they do it?
This pearl must be from a necklace, right? Was it just accidentally dropped, so...
"Could it just be an accident?"
"Whether it’s an accident or not, decide after you watch the video," Qin Sijue said, and after handing the items to Nangong Mingchuan, he did not speak further but turned and walked away with Gu Qiangwei.
Nangong Mingchuan stood still, staring at the two items in his hand, and then at the receding figures of the two people. He froze, frowning and confused.
From the tone of Qin Sijue, it seemed he was convinced that his and Yuyan’s fall was no accident.
But what he couldn’t figure out was, who would want to harm him and his wife...
Watching the two distant figures, Nangong Mingchuan, blind with uncertainty, returned to the ward with the items in his hand.
Tang Yuyan was still waiting for him at the door of the ward.
He looked up at his wife, "Yuyan."
"Do you remember why you fell down the stairs?"
