Chapter 437: Escaping Danger

As long as we are in the car, we don't have to worry about those people reacting and catching up to us again.

"Aunt, Aunt!" Shi Youxuan called out softly, unscrewing a bottle of mineral water to feed her aunt.

She must be ill; her forehead was burning hot, but her hands and feet were ice-cold, and it hadn't even reached the most critical stage yet.

Shi Ran often had fevers when she was little, so Shi Youxuan had experience!

There was no village in front and no shop behind here, let alone a hospital, and no medicine could be bought, so she could only drink more water.

Or use a wet towel to wipe her body for physical cooling.

Wang Yinghao's lips were pressed tight; she wouldn't open her mouth at all, and the water couldn't be fed in.

So Shi Youxuan used a wet towel to wipe the palms of her hands and the soles of her feet over and over again...

Finally, a faint sound came from her aunt's throat—"Ying."

She slowly opened her eyes, only to see a pitch-black face the moment she did!

"Ah! A ghost!"

Her aunt was terrified; the shock triggered her potential, and she didn't know where the strength came from, but she suddenly dodged out of Shi Youxuan's embrace.

"Don't be afraid, Aunt, it's me, Xuanxuan, not a ghost!"

Shi Youxuan pulled a few tissues from the box and wiped her little face messily.

Then she blinked her big eyes, letting her aunt identify her: "Aunt, look closely, see that it's me, Xuanxuan, right? I came with Hanyu; I didn't go up with him, I was waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."

Sheng Hanyu chimed in: "That's right, it was her who led people to dress up as ghosts to scare off those villagers just now, which is how we were able to escape."

Her aunt was relieved now; her heart settled back into her chest, and her eyelids grew heavy, almost drifting off to sleep again.

"Drink some water." Shi Youxuan promptly held the water bottle to her lips to feed her.

Her aunt took the bottle, drank a few sips, shook her head slightly to indicate she didn't want any more, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Jiangzhou, Jian Family Hospital.

Chairman's office.

Two people were sitting on a precious, international-brand leather sofa.

On the coffee table in front of them were a few boxes of dumplings, and the two were wolfing them down, competing as they shoveled dumplings into their mouths one after another.

It was so delicious.

The two acted as if they had never eaten such delicious dumplings before; they were truly too good.

In reality, they were just hungry.

These past few days, they were either too anxious to eat, too busy to eat well, or later on, they simply didn't even have time to eat anything at all.

Apart from waking up once in the car, her aunt had been in a coma the whole time.

The small hospitals they passed on the way back didn't dare to take her in at all.

But larger hospitals were very far away, and if there hadn't been a patient, they would have planned to drive back the way they came.

But with her aunt being ill, that wouldn't do.

Sheng Hanyu dispatched a helicopter to the designated location, flew directly back to Jiangzhou, and landed on the top floor of the Jian Family Hospital.

After the doctor did a simple examination, they had her aunt sent to the emergency room.

The two of them waited outside the whole time, without eating or drinking.

After waiting for two hours, the light above the emergency room went out, and her aunt was wheeled back to the Hospital Ward by a nurse.

The doctor came out, took off his mask, let out a long breath as if relieved of a heavy burden, and told the two: "Mr. Sheng, Miss Shi, you really should be thankful you brought her in time; any later by half an hour, and I'm afraid even a reincarnated deity couldn't have saved her."

Wang Yinghao's body was already weak to begin with, and the shock and anger, combined with catching a cold wind, had taken a toll.

The wind pathogen had entered her body, which was why the high fever wouldn't break!

When she was first sent to the emergency room, Wang Yinghao's whole body was like a burning coal, and she had even started convulsing.

Fortunately, Sheng Hanyu made a decisive decision to divert the helicopter, which was why they were able to return so quickly.

Her aunt's high fever had broken.

Although she was still unconscious, she was out of danger.

She was now in the intensive care unit, with doctors and nurses present, so the two of them finally set their minds at ease.

Once they were relieved, they felt the hunger in their stomachs.

So Jian Yixin brought the two to the office and had someone send over food, not caring what it was, as long as it was fast.

"Hiccup!"

Sheng Hanyu let out a satisfied burp, picked up his cup and drank a few sips of dumpling soup, then set down his bowl and chopsticks with contentment.

Shi Youxuan was also full, and the two finally had time to look up at Jian Yixin, only to discover that Jian Yixin had been watching them the whole time.

Not a normal look; the way she was staring was like looking at monkeys!

Looking them up and down, her gaze full of curiosity.

This couldn't be blamed on Jian Yixin; it was mainly because Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan looked exactly like refugees fleeing a disaster!

The man who was always in designer labels and crisp, tailored clothing was now in a set of dirty, tattered rags.

Not to mention the wrinkles on his clothes and pants, they had been washed until the color faded, the cuffs were even unraveled, and he was wearing canvas shoes with his toes poking out...

What Jian Yixin was most curious about was where he had gotten this outfit.

Shi Youxuan was better off, just with her little face covered in black and white smudges and her hair messy, but otherwise, she was relatively normal.

She stared at the two of them endlessly, finally causing Shi Youxuan to become dissatisfied.

"What are you looking at? Are you ever going to stop? If you keep staring at me, I'll dig your eyeballs out."

So Jian Yixin took a small mirror out of her bag, opened it, and held it out in front of her: "You fierce woman, take a good look at yourself. What on earth did you two go through? You look like ghosts."

She had actually guessed right.

Shi Youxuan: "I did indeed play the ghost, that's how I got them rescued."

She saw that Jian Yixin's face was written all over with "I don't believe you," then she nudged Sheng Hanyu: "You tell her, isn't that how it happened?"

"Yes," Sheng Hanyu said, concise and to the point.

"What's going on? Tell me simply, quickly."

Jian Yixin had originally wanted the two of them to go back, bathe, change clothes, and get a good rest, but she was too curious.

How could there be a matter of playing a ghost here?

She was eager to know the answer, so she wanted Shi Youxuan to speak quickly.

Shi Youxuan immediately began to tell the story.

As she recounted her "heroic feat," she was beaming with delight and full of expression.

Even Sheng Hanyu listened with great interest.

This woman just had so many ideas; it was hard to believe that at such a time, she could actually come up with such a "rotten idea."

But it was also thanks to her leading people to stage such a scene that they were able to escape danger.

Otherwise, if it had been delayed any longer, even if the aunt could be saved, it would have been too late!

"Wang Yingzhi!" Sheng Hanyu's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of ruthlessness passing through the corner of his eyes.

That woman had never done a good deed in her life, and now she was viciously attempting to kill to silence witnesses in order to cover up her evil deeds from many years ago!

He made up his mind that he would definitely not let Wang Yingzhi off, and he would not let her have an easy time.

……

Jian Yixin said to the two of them: "You two hurry back to take a bath, get a good sleep, and come back after you've rested well."

Shi Youxuan had to go back; she hadn't seen her child for a week, and she missed her.

Sheng Hanyu also missed the child and was worried about his aunt, so he was in a bit of a dilemma.

Jian Yixin said to him: "You go back first, I will notify you the first moment the aunt wakes up, okay?"

Since things had been said to this point, he nodded in agreement, and the two went home.

The New Year was over, and Fang Jie had returned.

When the two arrived home, Shi Ran actually didn't recognize her parents at first glance.

"Fang Jie, Uncle, come quickly, a thief has broken into the house!" The little girl's first reaction upon seeing the two was actually self-preservation!

She ran toward the room while shouting, and quickly locked the door.

If not for the worry that she would immediately call the police the next moment, Shi Youxuan really wouldn't want to bother with her.

They were all children born to others.

Shi Youxuan wondered why other people's children were all child prodigies, perfect and without a single flaw to pick out.

Yet the child she gave birth to was full of flaws, and had poor eyesight; she didn't recognize her own parents just because they changed clothes, which made her so sad!
