Chapter 762: How Could Lin Nuan Not Be Worried?
“Are they at the affiliated hospital of Haicheng Medical University?” Bai Jinyu asked once he got into the front pa.s.senger seat.
Lu Jinnan turned on the engine and started the car, following Lin Chen’s car. “Old Fu’s brother-in-law didn’t say anything. Let’s just follow them!”
Just now, Bai Xiaonian had called the cops. By now, the police had arrived and were at the door interrogating Ah Zhan and his gang.
Tang Zheng had long asked his men to put their guns away after receiving the news!
Lu Jinnan followed closely. Because there were no females in the car, Lu Jinnan felt for a box of cigarettes in the car storage box, then drew one and bit it, lighting it up with a flickering flame.
Bai Jinyu called Lin Nuan, wanting to ask her which hospital her friend was at. He knew people at every hospital, so he could call them and ask about her condition first.
However, no one picked up Lin Nuan’s phone.
Bai Jinyu frowned. “Why is she not picking up her phone?”
When they came out of the Fu residence, a car happened to be entering the house, pa.s.sing by Lin Chen’s car as they left…
Through the rearview mirror, Lu Jinnan saw Tang Xi’s fair and exquisite facial features. He narrowed his eyes and removed the cigarette from his lips, lowering the car window and leaning his elbow against it.
As the two cars pa.s.sed by each other, Tang Xi lowered the car window on his side as well. He deliberately slowed down, then turned his head towards Lu Jinnan and smiled.
“Yo… where’s President Lu heading?” Tang Xi asked in a carefree manner.
Bai Jinyu looked over too…
Tang Xi, President of the Jiahe Corporation. This man was rather high-profile. Bai Jinyu often saw him on the major media outlets.
As their gazes met, Lu Jinnan brought the cigarette to his lips and bit it, then slowly stepped on the brakes. In a rather sloppy tone, he said to Tang Xi, “Is President Tang here to attend the wedding? The wedding ceremony has already ended. If President Tang is here to attend the wedding, isn’t it too insincere of you to be showing up at this hour…”
“Look at what President Lu is saying. It wasn’t easy for me to rush here from Jincheng, I even had to rob someone of his invitation on the way! For an uninvited guest like me to be able to enter and steal a meal here, it’s already considered not bad. What’s the deal with President Lu sounding like you don’t want me to enter?”
There was a devilishly charming smile on Tang Xi’s lips. His vision swept past Bai Jinyu, who was in the front pa.s.senger seat, clearly not giving a d*mn about him.
Lu Jinnan didn’t stand on ceremony either. He smiled and removed his tie, then casually tossed it in the backseat. From his peripheral vision, he glanced to see where Lin Chen’s car was and saw that his car was nowhere to be seen by now. Not planning on mingling with Tang Xi any further, he s.h.i.+fted the cigarette away from his lips and smiled as he said, “Why would I do that? So long as President Tang brought a gift!”
“It seems like President Lu is the practical one!” Tang Xi gestured towards the door with his gaze. “President Fu’s wedding is rather amusing! Did a guest bring guns as a wedding gift?”
“Why, is President Tang envious?” There was a cold smile in Lu Jinnan’s deep eyes.
Tang Xi’s mouth twitched. “My wife is timid, she can’t be compared to Mrs. Fu!”
Lu Jinnan smiled and raised the car window, then stepped on the accelerator…
Tang Zheng saw Lu Jinnan coming over, so he frowned and knocked on the car window. The car window rolled down, and he asked, “Why did Lin Nuan leave with Lin Chen? To visit Song Yao?”
Lu Jinnan nodded. “Mm!”
Seeing as the car carrying Lin Nuan drove further and further away, there was nothing that Ah Zhan could do no matter how anxious he felt!
For so many years, Ah Zhan had never seen someone calling the cops in such a situation! They were clearly not playing by the rules!
Ah Zhan didn’t even know what to do when he saw the cops arrive!
Fu Huai’an, Gu Qingcheng, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng… which of them wasn’t dabbling in illegal activities?
Despite that, they dared to call the cops!
No one else could have pulled off a stunt like that!
…
Lin Nuan, who was seated in the front pa.s.senger seat, had yet to remove her makeup. As for her phone, it was on silent mode and in Bai Xiaonian’s bag.
Bai Xiaonian gritted her teeth, her eyes reddened…
Did Song Yao not have anything better to do? Why did she have to go and hit Li Muyang’s car?
Lin Chen was a man of few words and was never one to comfort someone else, so it was particularly quiet in the car. There was only the rustling of a down jacket as Bai Xiaonian drew a tissue to wipe her snot, a sound that mildly agitated one’s neurological senses.
Bai Xiaonian was never a melancholic person, but right before she was to fly off, something happened to Song Yao… This made the emotions hidden in Bai Xiaonian’s heart ferment into a bitter sensation for some reason.
Lin Nuan’s fingers were cold, just like the temperature of the chilly wind outside. To a neurosurgeon, a craniotomy might be a normal affair, but to an ordinary person, it was an extensive surgery that couldn’t get more ma.s.sive, so how could Lin Nuan not be worried?
Red light.
Lin Chen stepped on the brakes and glanced in the rearview mirror. Lu Jinnan was following behind.
Lin Nuan lowered her head and looked at the ball of tissue in her hand. It was the tissue that she had used to wipe the sweat off her palms earlier. She had forgotten to throw it away after she changed her clothes.
From his peripheral vision, Lin Chen could see Lin Nuan’s dense eyelashes and her lowered gaze, as well as her sharp and exquisite nose.
Green light.
Lin Chen started the engine and said, with his magnetic and deep voice that had the power to comfort one’s heart, “Cen Mo sounded steady enough, so your friend’s problem shouldn’t be too great.”
Lin Chen knew how much Cen Mo cared about Song Yao.
Lin Nuan nodded. “Mm…”
When Lin Chen, Lin Nuan, and Bai Xiaonian arrived at the entrance of the operating room, the “steady enough” Cen Mo that Lin Chen had mentioned earlier was covered in blood as he leaned against the wall. He was holding a cigarette to his lips with a hand on which blood had already dried, a lighter in his other hand. His hands were trembling so hard that he couldn’t even get a light.
“Cen Mo…” Lin Chen called out to Cen Mo.
Cen Mo looked up in Lin Nuan’s direction with his dark features. His lips, which were biting an unlit cigarette, turned into a grim expression, and his eyes, which were so deep-set that they resembled Westerners’, carried a sharp glint.
When he caught sight of Lin Nuan, Cen Mo’s deep and unfathomable eyes suddenly became overwhelmed with rage. He removed the cigarette from his lips and ferociously threw it to the ground as he strode towards Lin Nuan. His entire being exuded a terrifying chillness as he walked.
Lin Nuan quickened her steps and went ahead of Lin Chen, briskly walking towards Cen Mo as she asked, “How is Song Yao?”
The two of them were close, with only around two steps between them. Lin Nuan stopped in her tracks. Cen Mo suddenly reached out to grab her by her sleeves…
Lin Chen’s expression darkened. Before Cen Mo’s fingertips could touch Lin Nuan, he pulled her back in one swoop. He grabbed Cen Mo’s collar with his hands and directly pinned him against the wall. There was surging anger in his restrained, deep voice. “Lu Wenxuan, have you gone mad?”
Lin Chen very rarely lost his temper, for he had excellent control over his emotions. But the moment he saw that Cen Mo was about to lay a finger on Lin Nuan, his rational senses snapped, and he called out Cen Mo’s real name.
Lin Nuan, who was pulled behind Lin Chen, knocked into Bai Xiaonian. Cen Mo’s gesture made her angry too, but before she could speak, Bai Xiaonian spoke first. “Cen Mo, are you sick? Has water entered your brain? Why are you getting physical with Nuan Nuan?”
Bai Jinyu and Lu Jinnan, who came up in another elevator, saw Lin Chen pinning Cen Mo against the wall and had no idea what was going on. The two of them exchanged glances… with dazed looks on their faces.
