Chapter 317 The Background
What happened before she fell in a coma appears in her brain again. Xia Ning asks worriedly, “Where is Gu Luan? How is he? And what about Lei Buyang and…”
“Gu Luan got shot in the chest. He is out of danger now. Lei Buyang is seriously injured. Three of his ribs are broken. Davis is injured on his head. The others are just mildly hurt. Mrs. Yi, don’t worry.” Huang Qizhong briefly reports to Xia Ning.
Yi Yunrui asked him to take good care of Xia Ning before he left A City. Only a few days pa.s.sed and this accident happened. Huang Qizhong feels worried about how he can report to Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning thinks about what happened. She feels depressed, “Regimental Commander Huang, was that an a.s.sa.s.sination?”
“The accident is still under investigation. The suspects are confirmed. It is very likely to be an a.s.sa.s.sination.”
The person who is shot first is Gu Luan. So, this a.s.sa.s.sination targeted Gu Luan.
“Is it related to Director Gu?”
Huang Qizhong thinks for a while, “Mrs. Yi, it is a little complicated. Before everything is clear, it is inconvenient for me to talk about it. Please understand.”
“Oh. Sorry. I am too anxious.” Yi Yunrui is not here. Xia Ning instinctively feels herself a useless n.o.body.
“It is nothing important. Why can’t you talk about it?”
Suddenly, a lazy voice is heard. Huang Qizhong stands in front of Xia Ning as if some strong enemies are approaching. The door is opened and a tall man comes in.
It is Yi Yuntian.
Huang Qizhong feels surprised, “President Yi, why are you here?”
Yi Yuntian is famous not only in the official circle and the commercial circle but also in the army.
The men of the Yi Family are all awesome. They are the most excellent men.
“Something happened to my family, I surely need to be here.” Yi Yuntian comes to Xia Ning, “Ning, how are you?”
Xia Ning feels glad to see Yi Yuntian. She shakes her head, “Bother, thank you. I am fine. It seems that you know the cause of this accident.”
Yi Yuntian slightly lifts his lips. He glances at Huang Qizhong, “This is an a.s.sa.s.sination. The target is Gu Luan, the young master of Gu Family. As to the reasons, there are three of them. One is Gu Luan’s father Gu Nianguo, the deputy director of the National Security Bureau. One is Gu Luan’s ident.i.ty, the director of World Era Weekly. And the other,” Yi Yuntian pauses, “well, I would rather not mention it. As Regimental Commander Huang has said, it is inconvenient to talk about it without evidence.”
Xia Ning is shocked. Gu Luan’s father is the deputy director of the National Security Bureau!
G.o.d. It is not surprising that so many people are afraid of Gu Luan!
She knows Yi Yuntian. As to the third reason, he must have known. But because of some reason, he can’t tell her clearly.
She wants to know the third reason very much. However, since it is inconvenient for Yi Yuntian to tell, she doesn’t ask about it temporarily.
Now, in her heart, she wants to know something more important.
“Brother, do you know Rui has gone to Beijing?”
Yi Yuntian’s eyes gleam. He turns to Huang Qizhong, “Regimental Commander Huang, would you please give us a minute?”
Huang Qizhong twitches his eyebrows. He reluctantly nods and walks out.
He has got the order. However, Yi Yuntian and Xia Ning are going to have a family talk. He’d better not interfere.
“Ning, how do you know the real reason of Rui’s going to Beijing?”
Xia Ning feels surprised. Seemingly, she has not asked the question, but the brother has guessed what she wants to know.
“Well…Of course I know it…”
“Ning.” Yi Yuntian pulls a chair to sit in front of Xia Ning, “You know who your brother is. Even you don’t tell me, I will find it out. However, I will waste time in the investigation. Tell me frankly. We may save time and I can tell you more information about Rui.”
Xia Ning gives a sigh, “Mei Ruo told me. She told me that Rui’s public trial was about Yasi Villa, which was sold four years ago.” Rui sold Yasi Villa because of me and the payment was remitted into my account. I knew that Yasi Villa wasn’t worth that much money. Rui got involved in the trouble because of me…
Xia Ning feels sad. Her eyes turn red and she can’t help tearing.
“It is my fault. It was all because of me…Otherwise, Rui would not sell Yasi Villa. He would not raise the price, either. Rui was trying to please me. I knew it. It is my fault…”
Yi Yuntian slightly frowns. He holds out his hand to pat her shoulder, “Ning, Rui is always cautious and clever. I don’t think this event ….is as simple as it seems.”
Xia Ning sniffs, “Rui was caught on something. Someone wants to get him into trouble. I know.”
Yi Yuntian blinks his eyes, “Yes. You also know that someone wants to get Rui into trouble. So, they will find any possible excuses to do that. Ning, I know Rui well. Based on his wisdom, it doesn’t seem to be easy for anyone to draw him down. So, Ning, don’t worry. I think this may be something arranged by Rui in advance.”
Xia Ning brightens her eyes. She stops crying, “Can it be?”
Yi Yuntian smiles, “In my opinion, it is almost sure. The most important thing for you is to take good care of yourself. Or, if something happens to you, it won’t be convenient for Rui to carry out his plan. Rui is your husband. You must trust him.”
Xia Ning hears what Yi Yuntian said. She suddenly understands, as if she has seen the truth from the mist. However, she is still worried, “What if…it isn’t like that?”
“Rui is not alone. He has got me, my second younger brother and my father. So, don’t worry. For Yi Villa, everything can be solved. It is just a public trial of the army. It is nothing difficult at all! So, Ning, you may stay in the hospital to get recovered and I will take care of the other things!”
Xia Ning feels a little released. She nods, “Then, thank you. Brother, don’t worry. I will stay here for recovery. I will take good care of myself. I won’t bring additional trouble to you and Rui.”
Yi Yuntian softens his eyes, “It is not surprising that Rui likes you so much. If I meet a girl as obedient as you, I will also like her very much!”
Xia Ning feels shy, “Brother, you are flattering me.”
Yi Yuntian lightly pats her shoulder, “Have a good rest. Don’t worry about anything. If I get any news, I will tell you at once. I have other things to deal with. I may leave.”
“OK. See you.”
Yi Yuntian walks out of the ward. Huang Qizhong is standing outside. Yi Yuntian goes to him. He stares at his eyes and says word by word, “Regimental Commander Huang, I may trust you for the safety of my sister-in-law. If anything happens, let me know at once and I will be here within three minutes. I was rude just now. Sorry.”
Not expecting that Yi Yuntian will say these words to him, Huang Qizhong feels shocked for quite a while before he responds, “OK. I know. President Yi, don’t worry. I will take charge of the safety of Mrs. Yi.
Yi Yuntian nods. He turns around and suddenly darkens his face.
They ignore his warning and dare to go against him.
Well. They want to try. He, Yi Yuntian will make it really “funny” for them!
Let’s wait and see who is the one to make real destruction!
Xia Ning has lain on the bed for a whole day and night. She feels much better. She is worried about Gu Luan’s and other people’s injuries. She decides to go to see them.
Of course Huang Qizhong follows her. Xia Ning feels embarra.s.sed to be followed by a man. Huang Qizhong didn’t want her to walk around. However, he failed to stop her. So, he goes with her.
As told by Huang Qizhong, Davis was sent back to Britain on the day when he was injured. As to the attack, the Chinese and the British governments pay great attention to that. It is believable that the truth will come out very soon.
Xia Ning gets to Gu Luan’s ward. She wants to go in. But she sees Wan Liqing leaning on the bed while Gu Luan is still not awake. If she goes in now, Wan Liqing must be angry with her. She may even attack Xia Ning.
Wan Liqing’s hand and head are bandaged. It seems that she hurt more seriously than Xia Ning. Generally speaking, Wan Liqing should stay at her ward to rest. However, Wan Liqing is too concerned about Gu Luan. Seemingly, she argues with the doctor for a long time to get the permission to stay at Gu Luan’s ward.
Everyone is clear about Wan Liqing’s crush on Gu Luan and tries to help bring about the reconciliation of them. However, it is a pity that Gu Luan doesn’t want the same things Wan Liqing is heading for. It seems that there is still a long way to go for them to get reconciled.
Xia Ning stands in front of Gu Luan’s ward to look at them for a while. She goes to see Leng Weiwei, but Yi Yuntian is there. So, considerately, she doesn’t go in to disturb them.
When she goes to Lei Buyang’s ward, she opens the door and goes in directly.
Lei Buyang is the president of Lei Long Group. However, he has got no one there looking after him. When she arrives, she happens to see President Lei trying to get the water on the table beside him. However, because of the injury, he tries several times but fails.
“President Lei, let me help you.” Xia Ning says. She pours the water in the gla.s.s and changes some warm water for Lei Buyang.
Lei Buyang takes it over. He smiles to shake his head, “Thank you.”
“President Lei, why are you alone? Don’t you have anyone here to look after you? Where is your family?”
Lei Buyang stops drinking. He looks a little uneasy on his face, “I am, I am an orphan. I don’t have any family. And I don’t want people in my company to know my injury. Haha…So…”
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened, “Then, you should get a caring nurse. It is inconvenient for you.”
Lei Buyang finished the water. Xia Ning takes the gla.s.s from him at once and hands him another gla.s.s of water. Lei Buyang takes it over and says, “Thank you.”
“I am used to taking care of myself. I don’t want anyone else to look after me.” Lei Buyang finishes the water. Xia Ning wants to add some more for him. He says, “It is enough. Thank you.”
Xia Ning looks at the bandage on Lei Buyang’s chest. She feels a little sad. As some people say, those who look brilliant may have experienced a lot of unknown sadness.
Xia Ning unconsciously speaks, “Has President Lei ever thought of getting married to a woman? Then she can look after you.”
Lei Buyang hears her question. He blinks his eyes. He puts on a sad expression on his handsome face, “Yes, I have. However, it is hard to find the right woman. Those around me are not reliable. Ah…”
Lei Buyang strokes his chest. He looks helpless.
