Chapter 1176: Their First Collaboration (12)

His question caught her by surprise.

She looked at Lu Nanze but did not speak. Instead, she pushed his hand away.

Then she turned her wheelchair around and said, “Rest well, I’ll get the doctor to come and examine you.”

After saying this, she left the ward.

As long as he had woken up, all was well.

She went back to her ward and lay down, finally closing her eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

In the meantime, Qiao Yiyi had rushed home. Upon seeing Qiao Zhigang, she grabbed his hand and said, “Dad, did you send people to kill Qiao Lian? Those fools have all been nabbed! Qiao Lian is safe, but Second Brother was beaten up badly! Also, I heard that the men held by the police confessed. What are we going to do now?!”

Qiao Zhigang’s expression immediately changed upon hearing this. He sprang up from his seat, cursing, “These fools!”

Qiao Yiyi had turned pale in fright. She paced to and fro nervously. “What do we do now? What do we do?”

Qiao Zhigang narrowed his eyes and said, “Don’t worry and don’t be afraid! If the Lu family tries to pursue this with us, we’ll use the account book! Hmph! If he dares to put me in jail, then I will make sure he keeps me company.”

Qiao Yiyi widened her eyes and asked, “But what about now?”

“What’s there to be afraid of now? You’re carrying a child of the Lu family! They wouldn’t dare to do anything to you.”

Qiao Yiyi bit her lip. Although that was what Qiao Zhigang claimed, she was still nervous.

She took a deep breath and nodded. Then Qiao Zhigang got to his feet.

“Dad, where are you going?”

Qiao Zhigang immediately said, “I’m going to the hospital to see him.”

Qiao Yiyi nodded.

–

At the hospital.

Qiao Lian had had a good sleep and now felt well-rested.

Besides some soreness and limpness, she felt well.

However, the doctor had advised that she needed more bed rest in her first trimester, hence any sort of vigorous exercise would not be suitable. Therefore, Qiao Lian sat gingerly with a straight posture.

After she had eaten, she got in the wheelchair so that Shen Liangchuan could take her to see Lu Nanze.

They chatted on the way.

When they arrived at Lu Nanze’s ward and the moment Qiao Lian was about to push the door open, they suddenly heard Qiao Zhigang’s voice, “Nanze, I feel terrible seeing you in this state. Those useless dogs actually injured you, it’s intolerable! However, I do feel that given they are friends in a way, could you perhaps consider talking to the police and telling them that you’d like to drop the matter?”

Drop the matter?

Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Liangchuan. He made a gesture, signaling her to be quiet.

She immediately pursed her lips.

Then she saw that Shen Liangchuan had quietly taken out his cell phone and turned on the recording function.

Her pupils shrank at once as she raised her thumb at him.

In the ward, the conversation continued.

In response to the man’s request, Lu Nanze seemed indifferent. “Uncle, our society is governed by the law and I suggest we abide by the law. How could we settle this in private?”

Qiao Zhigang was livid and bristled at this in fury.

He laughed icily and said, “To be honest with you, it’s true I sent those men! Yiyi is pregnant with your child and it’s bad enough that you refuse to acknowledge it. All I wanted to do was to teach that girl Qiao Lian a lesson! But if you really wish to pursue the matter, I can not guarantee that I won’t hand stuff over to the police. The account book... for instance?”
