CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 401: THANK YOU, DAD

Uncle Liu’s heart trembled, never expecting that in his lifetime, he would actually hear Bai Yuejie call him "Daddy" again.

Uncle Liu looked at her and ultimately succumbed to her face, which bore a striking resemblance to her mother’s, and gently said, "Call me that one more time."

Bai Yuejie, as if seeing hope, called out repeatedly, "Daddy, Daddy..."

Uncle Liu’s heart warmed, and he touched her face, saying, "Good girl, go get some rest first."

Bai Yuejie immediately said, "Daddy, please don’t kill him, okay? I want him to watch me be happy, to see my joy. I love him, I want to marry him!"

Uncle Liu sighed softly, "Silly daughter, Daddy promises you."

Bai Yuejie smiled through her tears, "Thank you, Daddy!"

"Good girl."

Even if Bai Yuejie hadn’t pleaded so, they wouldn’t dare act rashly anytime soon.

Shi Lingyan’s social status was immeasurable, and the police would surely give the best arrangements.

Moreover, after such an incident, it was unlikely that the two elders of the Shi Family would sit idly by, and perhaps the Tang Family’s people wouldn’t stand by either. By then, surveillance and security would surely be extremely tight, and there was even the risk that the trail could lead to their lair.

Thinking of this, Uncle Liu’s mood grew even more somber.

Cursed be those two good-for-nothings.

It had been a rare opportunity; if they had managed to kill Shi Lingyan in one fell swoop, they would not have to face the current dilemma.

But how could those incompetents let themselves be killed by someone who was already shot?

Uncle Liu furrowed his brows.

No, it couldn’t be.

There was no way Shi Lingyan could have killed the two. First, he was severely injured, and the bullets were coated with hallucinogenic drugs.

In a haze of consciousness, it’s easiest to see the person one cares about most. With some guidance, he should have ended up in utter despair like Tang Wu had just before her death.

Secondly, even if Shi Lingyan was in that condition, Kevin and Kadi wouldn’t possibly be unguarded. Resistance would not be so easy.

Uncle Liu had a sneaking suspicion that there was more to this incident than meets the eye.

-

The mishap with Shi Lingyan and Shi Mei had come too suddenly, too mysteriously; no one could have expected such an event.

Shi Lingyan had been shot in the shoulder blade, and had a clearly heavy blow to his chest, turning it a dark purple.

And Shi Mei had a bullet wound through her waist, a severe concussion, multiple soft tissue contusions throughout her body, and various scrapes and lacerations on her skin.

Ye Tiao was the first to learn of this news.

She had received a call from Shi Mei early on and, realizing something was wrong, immediately had Tang Jingming locate that phone.

Once the address was confirmed, Ye Tiao drove there without delay, but suddenly, the location of the phone started moving.

By the time she hurried to the Military District Hospital, Shi Mei and Shi Lingyan had already been taken into emergency care.

The hospital had already called the police.

After the police arrived, they quickly began to investigate the driving recorder in the Bentley.

Time rapidly passed, three days went by.

It took three days for Shi Mei to finally wake up.

When she did, the first thing she saw was Aunt Chen, who had been by her side.

The moment Aunt Chen saw Shi Mei awake, tears streamed down her face, and she joyfully went to call the doctor.

Shi Mei was still dazed, and her mind was blank as she underwent several examinations. It was only afterwards that she heard the doctor say, "Now that you’re awake, there shouldn’t be any major issues. You’ve lost a lot of blood, so you need to recover properly. You may experience dizziness and vomiting due to the concussion, which are normal, and muscle pain from the injury is also normal. Remember to change your dressings on time and avoid getting them wet..."

The doctor told Aunt Chen a lot, and Aunt Chen hurriedly took notes, only then turning her attention back to Shi Mei.
