Chapter 338 The price was too high.
Hearing this, Ji Ran felt a little relieved, but he still frowned and unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
The car continued on its way when a huge explosion suddenly came from the riverbed behind them.
"Bang~"
Qi Mu anticipated the noise a few seconds in advance and set up a barrier around the car, so Ji Ran was not startled by the sudden loud noise, but she still heard it.
"That's..." Ji Ran was startled and involuntarily glanced at the rearview mirror, only to find thick black smoke rising from the riverbank behind them.
"The car exploded?"
"Mm," Qi Mu replied.
A sudden wave of fear washed over Ji Ran, and she murmured, "Then... was Qin Wenzhou seriously injured?"
It may seem like a question, but it's actually just a way to avoid facing reality.
The car exploded, the fuel tank must have been ruptured, it drove into the river, and there was so much blood.
Qi Mu pursed his lips; he didn't want to lie to her, and in the end, he simply said softly,
"Don't be afraid, Ranran, everything will be alright."
Ji Ran nodded, seemingly feeling more at ease because of his words. She continued driving, but subconsciously increased her speed.
Soon, she saw three black cars speeding wildly ahead of her.
That was Qin Wenzhou's bodyguard's car; it was probably taking Qin Wenzhou to the hospital.
Without much thought, the cars drove into the hospital entrance. The emergency doctors were already waiting at the entrance. As soon as the cars stopped, they orderly lifted the unconscious Qin Wenzhou onto a stretcher.
The car behind them also carried out an unconscious person, who was probably Qin Wenzhou's driver.
Seeing this, Ji Ran also got out of the car and quickly followed.
She saw that Qin Wenzhou's head was covered in blood, clearly from hitting his head, and his well-defined hand was hanging limply off the bed, which made Ji Ran very distressed.
Qin Wenzhou was rushed into the emergency room, where all the bodyguards stood guard at the door, their faces showing varying degrees of panic and paleness.
Firstly, the boss's serious car accident was due to their negligence. Secondly, they witnessed the accident happen instantly; while they were still on the riverbank and hadn't had time to go down to the river to rescue him, they saw the boss and driver's bodies appear on the ground where they were standing one after the other.
It's really too bizarre.
In fact, everyone has already realized to some extent that there is something unseen in Professor Ji's courtyard.
Just take Professor Ji's two instances of directly attacking Fu Luanyin as examples, both times such strange things happened...
But knowing about it is one thing, but actually seeing it happen still sends chills down your spine.
Upon seeing Ji Ran approach, everyone paused for a moment, then immediately greeted him respectfully:
"Professor Ji."
Ji Ran nodded without saying much, but looking at the three big words 'In Surgery', he felt a dull, unpleasant feeling in his heart.
Qi Mu appeared beside her, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and pulled her closer to his chest.
For the first time, Ji Ran felt this unfamiliar unease and subconsciously leaned closer to the man's chest.
Soon, the sound of hurried running came from the end of the corridor.
The crowd shouted in unison.
"Assistant Yin."
Yin Li, panting, looked at the three words on the door, her eyes filled with worry and doubt.
He turned his head and saw Ji Ran, and straightened his expression as well.
"Professor Ji."
He then looked at the bodyguard and questioned him.
"What happened?! How could there be a car accident?! What are you all doing?!"
The bodyguards all hung their heads, feeling extremely guilty. As bodyguards, they were all responsible for what happened to their boss, no matter the reason.
"Tell me, what happened?" Yin Li pointed to one of the people.
The bodyguard replied,
"We were escorting President Qin to prison when, as we rounded a corner, for some reason, President Qin's car failed to turn the corner and plunged straight into the riverbank."
Yin Li's eyes were full of confusion. "I don't know why? Where's the car?"
“Plunge into the river…” The bodyguard was about to answer when he was interrupted by a cold female voice.
"It exploded."
Yin Li turned to Ji Ran in shock, "You mean...it exploded?"
“Yeah, it exploded just as I was passing by,” Ji Ran replied.
Yin Li was completely gripped by extreme fear. From the moment the car overturned to the moment it caught fire, it usually took between a few minutes and a dozen minutes.
Fortunately, the rescue was timely, otherwise...
Thinking about it, Yin Li got goosebumps all over.
After forcing himself to calm down, he turned to two of them and said, "You two, go to the accident scene now, find someone to retrieve the wreckage of the car, and find out the cause of the accident."
"Yes." The two men accepted the order and set off immediately.
Thinking about the cause of the car accident, Qi Mu's eyes darkened, and he looked down uneasily at the girl in his arms.
He really didn't want her to know, didn't want her to know the truth.
The room fell silent again, enveloped in an atmosphere of inexplicable tension.
Yin Li only then noticed something, and then he looked at Ji Ran again.
"Professor Ji."
Ji Ran looked up at him.
Yin Li swallowed hard. "Where is Miss Qiu? Doesn't she know about this?"
Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, and only then did she realize that in this situation, shouldn't her mother also come here?
But when we went out, Mom acted strangely... She seemed worried about something, but she was forcing herself not to worry...
And his mother, who usually rarely speaks to Qin Wenzhou, urged him to leave the house two or three times today...
She looked up at Qi Mu, her eyes filled with doubt, but more like she was there to confirm her answer.
He didn't speak, but simply gazed at her quietly. His eyes were heavy with heartache, gentle yet complex.
It's like holding a knife that could hurt her, yet choosing to grip the blade tightly, squeezing it until blood splatters everywhere.
Ji Ran knew the answer.
She was shocked and could hardly believe it.
Did Mom... ultimately make a move against Qin Wenzhou?
"Professor Ji?" Yin Li asked, puzzled when she saw her suddenly tilting her head back and looking at something.
Ji Ran turned around and sighed deeply.
"Let's notify her when the doctor comes out."
Yin Li opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end she kept quiet.
He walked aside and made a call to Qin's PR department, asking them to release a statement saying that President Qin had been in a car accident, and also to let the entertainment newspaper know that he was on his way to visit Fu Luanyin.
After finishing the call, Yin Li breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now President Qin no longer needs to visit Fu Luanyin, and no one can accuse him of being heartless and ungrateful anymore.
But the price was too high! He almost lost his life!
It's better to just go along with it for now. Ugh! Stubborn!
Several hours later, the operating room lights were finally turned off.
The doctor came out, and Yin Li rushed forward first, "Dr. Liu, how is President Qin?!"
