Chapter 987 - 217: Epilogue 11
Rong Mochen immediately took out his phone and dialed Gu Yan’s number.
Hearing Rong Mochen tell Gu Yan to investigate that bodyguard company, Fang Jingyi stiffened, staring blankly at Rong Mochen.
After hanging up, Rong Mochen’s eyes held not a trace of warmth as he looked at Fang Jingyi. "This is the first time I’ve ever heard of such a bodyguard company that treats human life like dirt. Ms. Fang, if you still have even a shred of ability to tell true from false, right from wrong, then think carefully."
"Think—think about what?"
Fang Jingyi was dazed.
"Think about what? Think about who wishes Tang Yige and Little Rui dead so badly!" Rong Mochen narrowed his eyes, each word cutting and ruthless.
Fang Jingyi froze.
Rong Mochen stopped wasting words on Fang Jingyi. He lowered his gaze and sank into thought for a few seconds, then took out his phone again and dialed another number.
"Yicheng."
"..."
...
Half an hour after Rong Mochen and the others arrived outside the emergency room, Rong Sinan returned, supporting Tang Yige who had just seen the doctor.
Because of the extreme shock, Tang Yige’s old eye condition had relapsed.
The doctor had suggested medicating and bandaging her eyes, but Tang Yige stubbornly refused.
The doctor had no choice but to at least apply medicine for her.
Yige had taken three slaps to the face, not to mention that one from Fang Jingyi.
The force that man used when he hit Yige’s face was as if he wanted to beat her to death.
Yige’s face was grotesquely swollen, and even after the medicine, her eyes were still blood‑red. If Rong Sinan weren’t holding her.
Rong Mochen and Rong Zhengfeng would hardly have been able to recognize her.
The injuries on her face and eyes could at least be seen, but the wounds on her head from the man yanking her hair, and the two injuries on her knees, were things Rong Mochen and Rong Zhengfeng couldn’t see.
Seeing the two of them, Rong Mochen and Rong Zhengfeng walked over at once.
Fang Jingyi paused, then also turned around. When she saw Tang Yige’s completely changed face, her own expression shifted again and again.
And when Yige saw Fang Jingyi, a fierce hatred burst out in her eyes. She squeezed the words out from between her teeth, one by one: "I don’t want to see her. Make her leave!"
Rong Sinan clenched both fists, his gaze cold and shadowed as he fixed it on Fang Jingyi.
Fang Jingyi’s heart gave a violent jolt.
This was the first time Rong Sinan had ever looked at her with such cold, merciless eyes.
Fang Jingyi’s heart twisted tight, tears welling up again. "Sinan..."
"Didn’t you hear her? She told you to leave!"
Rong Sinan rasped.
Fang Jingyi, "..." Her heart throbbed with pain, as if pierced by ten thousand arrows!
"Sinan..."
"Go!"
Rong Sinan’s voice wasn’t loud, but his tone was extremely dark and resolute.
Fang Jingyi’s tears wouldn’t stop falling. She looked at Rong Sinan in anguished despair. "Sinan, everything Mom did was for you..."
"I don’t need it. I never want it again!"
Rong Sinan’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Fang Jingyi.
Those eyes were utterly empty.
Fang Jingyi couldn’t help but break into sobs.
She could endure Rong Mochen’s indifference, Rong Zhengfeng’s violence.
But she could not endure even the slightest coldness or hatred from Rong Sinan.
Fang Jingyi covered her mouth, lowered her head, and hurried away.
Watching Fang Jingyi leave, Rong Zhengfeng closed his eyes in sorrow.
Drawing several deep breaths, Rong Zhengfeng looked at Tang Yige with aching pity. "Yige, you’ve suffered."
Tang Yige did not answer him. Her eyes were dead‑still as she stared at the cold door of the emergency room.
If.
If Little Rui couldn’t come back to her, then she would have no reason left to go on living in this world.
This half a life.
She truly had had enough!
Seeing the reddish fluid slowly seeping from the corner of Tang Yige’s eyes, Rong Sinan felt as if his heart were being cut to pieces, and he also hated that he couldn’t chop himself up.
Why did he have to go to the law firm today, why didn’t he come back a little earlier?!
If he had come back earlier, even a little earlier, maybe the outcome wouldn’t have been so tragic.
But... there are no ifs!
Looking at Rong Sinan’s face full of grief, Rong Mochen clenched his fists tight.
...
Two hours later.
The tightly closed operating room door finally opened slowly in front of them.
Tang Yige’s whole body convulsed uncontrollably, her neck stiffly straining, not daring to look.
And at this moment, how was Rong Sinan not enduring the same torment and agony as Yige.
Seeing this, Rong Mochen and Rong Zhengfeng exchanged a look and quickly walked toward the doctor.
But once they reached the doctor, neither of them dared to open their mouths to ask.
The doctor, seeing the complex worry of the two family members, slowly let out a breath and said, "Fortunately you got him here in time. The child snatched his life back from death!"
Rong Mochen closed his eyes, his thin lips parting slightly as he let out a long breath.
Rong Zhengfeng suddenly grabbed Rong Mochen’s arm; the breath he’d been forcefully holding finally released, his whole body going soft as he leaned against Rong Mochen, tears streaming down his old face.
"Grandpa."
Rong Mochen supported his shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
Then his eyes turned slightly red as he turned to look at Rong Sinan and Tang Yige.
But at this moment, how could the two of them be any better off than Rong Zhengfeng; both their faces were full of tears.
Knowing that Rong Rui was out of danger, the breath Tang Yige had been holding finally dropped; her body collapsed and she fainted into Rong Sinan’s arms.
Rong Sinan held Tang Yige tightly, burying his face into her chest, the dampness on his cheeks lingering there for a long time.
...
Although Rong Rui had been brought back from the brink, the doctor also honestly said he didn’t know when the child would wake up.
After all, the injury was to the brain.
And after he wakes up, whether there will be any negative sequelae still needs observation.
After examining the unconscious Tang Yige, the doctor told Rong Sinan that Tang Yige’s constitution was weak to begin with, and she’d suffered a severe emotional shock, which was what caused the coma.
And he explicitly informed Rong Sinan.
After Yige wakes up this time, she probably won’t be able to recover for a while; she needs complete rest, mustn’t worry about a single thing, and absolutely cannot endure any further shock, otherwise they fear her lifespan might not even reach fifty.
And these words from the doctor were all heard clearly by Rong Zhengfeng and Rong Mochen.
After that.
Rong Sinan had the hospital set up another bed in the VIP ward where Rong Rui was staying, with fees charged according to VIP standards.
The hospital naturally had no objections.
So, Tang Yige and Rong Rui stayed in the same ward.
Once he’d settled Yige and Rong Rui.
Rong Sinan stood between the two beds, and in the span of a single instant, a bleak, desolate aura closed in tightly around him.
Watching Rong Sinan’s lonely, desolate figure, Rong Zhengfeng secretly wiped his eyes several times.
When he was young, Rong Zhengfeng probably never imagined that in his old age he would become this weak.
Zhang Xu finally got through to Rong Sinan’s cell phone three hours after Rong Rui and Tang Yige had been moved into the VIP ward.
As soon as the call connected.
After a single "Brother," Zhang Xu immediately broke down sobbing.
Rong Sinan gripped the phone tightly, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "Is Aunt Zhang okay?"
"Woo, Brother, Little Rui, woo... how are Little Rui and Sister Yi now? Woo woo... my mom, my mom is in the hospital now, two of her ribs are broken, she’s okay... she’s just worried, worried about Little Rui and Sister Yi, she’s been crying the whole time."
Zhang Xu spoke while crying and sniffling.
Two ribs broken...
Bloodthirsty violence flashed in Rong Sinan’s bloodshot eyes; after several seconds of silence he rasped, "Little Rui and Yige are okay. Tell Aunt Zhang to put her mind at ease and focus on her recovery."
"Really okay? My mom said Little Rui was badly hurt, and Sister Yi too, those people hit Sister Yi, woo woo..." Zhang Xu started crying again as she spoke.
She really had been terrified.
When she rushed back to the apartment after receiving Zhang Lan’s call for help, the moment she stepped into the entryway she saw a pool of blood, and on the carpet between the sofa and the coffee table, Zhang Lan lying in a twisted position, clutching her chest with one hand and the phone with the other, crying.
At that moment, Zhang Xu truly felt as if the sky had gone abruptly dark overhead, a panic and helplessness crashing down on her.
And.
During this whole time they hadn’t been able to reach Rong Sinan, so they’d felt unsettled all along.
So now, Zhang Xu’s emotions were a little beyond her control.
Rong Sinan should have been comforting Zhang Xu at this time, but right now he couldn’t even comfort himself, so he only held the phone in silence and didn’t speak.
"...Brother, my mom says she wants to come see Sister Yi and Little Rui." Zhang Xu said after crying for a while.
Rong Sinan knew that without seeing for herself that Little Rui and Yige were okay, Zhang Lan wouldn’t be able to rest easy, so he said, "I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up."
"No need, Brother, just tell us the hospital’s address. Geng Yi is here, he’ll drive us over." Zhang Xu said, having calmed down a bit.
Rong Sinan listened and didn’t insist.
After ending the call with Zhang Xu, Rong Sinan immediately informed the hospital to arrange another VIP ward.
Once everything was set.
Rong Sinan narrowed his eyes, heavy and dark, and turned, his gaze landing deeply on Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen pressed his lips together and walked out of the ward.
Rong Sinan cast one last look at Yige and Rong Rui on the beds, his refined features passing over into a shadowy gloom, then stepped out of the second-floor ward as well.
Seeing the two brothers walk out of the ward one after the other, Rong Zhengfeng sighed inwardly, braced himself on his cane, and walked over to Rong Rui’s bedside.
