Her heart was in turmoil, and she felt a deep sense of torment.
After anxiously waiting for dawn, An Xin hurried to call Tang Yuchen. This time he didn’t hang up on her and even told her the truth.
"An Ruo was attacked the day before yesterday, but she has now passed the critical stage. However, she is still in a coma. You can come over now..."
Upon receiving the address, An Xin rushed to the hospital. Outside the intensive care unit, she saw Tang Yuchen not far away, speaking with two police officers.
An Xin slowed her pace and didn’t rush over. Only when the police officers had left did she approach the man.
Through the glass window, she immediately saw An Ruo wearing an oxygen mask.
On the heart monitor, her heartbeat was a bit weak, but indeed she was still alive!
A hint of malice flashed across An Xin’s eyes, but it disappeared quickly, so quickly that no one saw it.
"How could this happen? I saw her just a few days ago, and she was perfectly fine. How could such an accident occur all of a sudden?" she asked Tang Yuchen with teary eyes, her expression one of utter disbelief.
Tang Yuchen looked at her with a dark gaze and said, "I think this matter is probably related to those three men we encountered last time."
An Xin couldn’t believe it. "Are you saying they hurt An Ruo?"
"Yes, that’s likely. They might have been hiding in J City, then accidentally came across An Ruo and harmed her. Besides, An Ruo had no enemies, other than those three men. I can’t think of anyone else."
"Good heavens, to think such a thing could happen!" An Xin covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Have they been captured?"
The man shook his head. "No one has seen their faces, and with An Ruo unconscious, we can’t get any information. By the way, you saw them last time, do you remember what they look like?"
"...The situation was very sudden at the time, and the underground parking lot was quite dark. I only have a vague memory of their appearances, nothing concrete."
"I’m about to head to Jianan Mountain. A resident at the foot of the mountain happened to see the driver’s face. Come with me and ask him if it was one of those men," Tang Yuchen suggested.
Feeling a sudden jump in her heart, An Xin instinctively asked, "He saw the driver’s face?"
"Yes, he was working nearby at the time. He saw the car go up the mountain, then come back down, so he paid close attention."
An Xin’s hands clenched tightly, her heart racing, and a cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
If someone had really seen her...
"Didn’t the police find out anything?" she suddenly asked, turning the question back to him.
Tang Yuchen caught her expression and replied indifferently, "The police have asked him, but he hasn’t been able to recall anything for now. Just like you, he only saw a rough outline and couldn’t remember clearly. I think you could talk to him; discuss the features, maybe the two of you will be able to recall something."
An Xin began to regret rushing to the hospital.
But even if she hadn’t come, Tang Yuchen would have found her and asked her to go with him.
It’s settled then, she thought. When the time comes, she’ll just pretend to remember nothing at all, better yet—ramble on about something nonsensical.
Resolute, she quickly said, "We should not delay. Let’s go quickly."
"Yes, let’s go," Tang Yuchen agreed, glancing once more at the comatose An Ruo before striding ahead.
There was no need to guess; he already knew for certain that An Xin was behind this.
