Chapter 771: Chapter 771: Tong Sanlang Finds Out
The only certainty is breath, falling into deep sleep, and possibly never awakening.
Those words frightened Qiao Meipan and the Sun Family into immobility.
Especially for Qiao Meipan, did this count as patricide?
The possibility made Qiao Meipan sit shivering in her chair.
Her beautiful life had just begun!
After a while, Sun Junyan came over, and after hearing the doctor’s diagnosis from the Sun Family, he had a sigh of relief and asked the doctor to look at the wound on his neck.
As long as Qiao Qinghe was alive, if Qiao Qinghe died, he would have to mourn for three years, and his yet to begin official career would be delayed for three full years.
This was quite good, being in constant coma, and he wouldn’t come to cause trouble actively.
He could hire someone to take care of Qiao Qinghe with money, any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem at all.
Thus, Qiao Qinghe temporarily stayed at the medical clinic and needed to observe for a few days before reaching a conclusion. The Sun family stayed to look after him.
The woman who was originally recumbent and unwilling to move was full of energy now, and didn’t feel any pain in her back or buttocks.
Qiao Meipan and Sun Junyan went back to the little courtyard they were temporarily residing in, there had to be someone to cook, make medicine, and do housework.
Two days passed, Qiao Xiaomai remembered Qiao Qinghe and sent Tong Sanlang on horseback to check on him in Anping village.
According to Qiao Qinghe’s original plan, he should have gone to county town the next day, and now it was the fourth day, Qiao Qinghe should have returned the handcart by now.
Tong Sanlang rode to Anping village very quickly. The gate of the old Qiao residence was locked, and the house was desolate and empty.
He asked the neighbours of the Qiao family and learned that Qiao Qinghe was not at home for the past few days, frowning at the news.
After thinking for a moment, he turned back to the manor and informed Qiao Xiaomai before galloping towards the county town.
When he found the small courtyard where the Sun family was temporarily living, only Qiao Meipan was there, making medicine in the courtyard.
Sun Junyan, Qiao Qinghe and Sun’s Family matriarch were nowhere to be seen.
Tong Sanlang jumped off the roof and directly knocked on the door, inquiring the whereabouts of Qiao Qinghe.
The sudden appearance of Tong Sanlang startled Qiao Meipan. The hand holding the fire stick trembled, almost tipping over the medical pot.
She suppressed the panic in her heart and tried to put on a calm front, “What do you need my father for?”
“He is my grandfather, he has disappeared for these past few days, naturally I have to inquire about him.” Tong Sanlang replied expressionlessly.
“He and my mother have gone out to buy groceries; now that my brother has passed the examination, from now on, our family of four is going to stay in the county town, don’t come here in future.” Despite the panic in her heart, Qiao Meipan composed her voice.
Hearing this, Tong Sanlang looked at the boiling pot of medicine, “Out grocery shopping? Your mother is recovered? Who is this medicine for then?”
With questions being thrown at her one after another, Qiao Meipan’s panic from her heart showed on her face. Upon seeing her so, Tong Sanlang had more doubts. He set his face and asked, “What exactly happened to grandfather?”
Before Qiao Meipan could finish her sentence, Tong Sanlang narrowed his eyes, raised his long leg and placed it on Qiao Meipan’s shoulder. He used a bit of force, and Qiao Meipan’s waist immediately bent down, “Don’t force me to get physical, tell me, where is your father exactly!”
Qiao Meipan was caught off guard that he would get physical so directly, and in such a posture.
Showing no mercy, he directly pressed her shoulder with his leg, as if he intended to step her under his foot.
Her face turned pale and she realized she could not hide it anymore.
“In, in the Medical Clinic…”
