Chapter 182: 179. Huo Zhiyuan Wakes Up

Zhang Ran rambled on like this for half an hour, but when he discovered there were still no signs of Huo Zhiyuan waking up, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's impossible, how could it have no effect?" Zhang Ran muttered, then stood up and walked out, asking He Yong to find the doctor here.

By the time He Yong brought the doctor over, Zhang Siyan and the others had also arrived; none of them asked what Zhang Ran had been doing just now, especially Meng He.

At first, Meng Mingxuan was curious and prepared to sneak over to take a look, but he was grabbed tightly by Meng He.

At that moment, Meng He only said one thing, "Don't go looking for your own death."

Meng Mingxuan was startled by Meng He's words; this was the first time he had seen his father speak to him so sternly, and the look in his eyes and his tone didn't seem like he was just trying to scare him.

"The patient's physical condition is a bit weak, but she will be fine after resting for a while." The doctor here didn't know the previous situation, and after finishing the examination, he said with a relaxed expression.

However, Zhang Siyan and the others widened their eyes; they were somewhat skeptical of what the doctor had just said.

Clearly, when they were at the other hospital, they were told that whether she could wake up depended on fate, so why was he saying it was fine now?

But they quickly turned their questioning gazes toward Zhang Ran; it was Zhang Ran who had insisted on bringing her out, so now that Huo Zhiyuan's condition had improved, it must have something to do with Zhang Ran.

But Zhang Ran had no intention of explaining, only asking the doctor, "Then about when will she be able to wake up?"

"It should be very soon," the doctor said.

After sending the doctor away, Zhang Ran said to Zhao Jingyu, "You all watch over her here for a bit, I'm going to go get some rest."

As if hearing that he was about to leave, Huo Zhiyuan over there began to slowly open her eyes.

"She's awake, she's awake, President Huo is awake," Zhao Jingyu called out in surprise.

Zhang Ran turned his head in surprise and saw that the eyes Huo Zhiyuan had opened were already looking at him; her gaze was very clear, not at all like someone who had just woken up.

"Big Brother Zhang," Huo Zhiyuan called out softly, her voice very small, as if she were a child who had done something wrong.

Huo Xin, Zhang Siyan, Zhao Jingyu, and Meng Zixuan were all stunned on the spot as they looked at Huo Zhiyuan at this moment; when had they ever seen Huo Zhiyuan like this?

It was Meng He who reacted the fastest, "Siyan, are you all hungry? You haven't really eaten during this time, have you? Come on, Uncle Meng will treat you to a meal."

Saying this, he took the lead and left.

Zhang Siyan hadn't reacted yet, but Huo Xin and Zhao Jingyu reacted extremely quickly, immediately saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm starving."

He Yong also walked out silently, but he didn't go to eat with Meng He and the others; instead, he stood guard at the door.

"Uncle He, let's go, let's eat something together," Meng Mingxuan said.

He Yong shook his head and said, "You all go eat, I'm not at ease if there's no one here."

Meng Mingxuan wanted to say something more, but he was stopped by Meng He, "Fine, then I'll bring some back for you in a while."

Meng He knew He Yong's thoughts; as Zhang Ran's personal bodyguard, He Yong could be said to be Zhang Ran's last line of defense, and as long as there was the slightest sign of trouble, He Yong would not leave Zhang Ran's side.

Inside the ward, Zhang Ran looked at Huo Zhiyuan, who was hanging her head, and said irritably, "Have you been awake for a while? Are you watching me make a fool of myself?"

"No, Big Brother Zhang, don't misunderstand." Huo Zhiyuan hurriedly explained.

"Alright, alright, I'm not blaming you. How is it, do you feel a bit more comfortable now?" Zhang Ran helped Huo Zhiyuan up to lie back on the bed.

"Mm, much better. Big Brother Zhang, you won't blame me, will you?" Huo Zhiyuan asked with some trepidation.

Zhang Ran said in surprise, "Blame you? Why would I blame you?"

"I didn't go to pick you up at the time," Huo Zhiyuan said in a low voice.

Zhang Ran said with a chuckle, "I know you had your own thoughts, and I've seen everything you've done during this time, so don't overthink it."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran subconsciously rubbed Huo Zhiyuan's head, just like when she was a child.

Huo Zhiyuan also subconsciously half-closed her eyes; if Zhao Jingyu and the others were to see Huo Zhiyuan like this again, it would truly overturn their worldview.

"Big Brother Zhang, I want to hand Kangshilan over to Siyan," Huo Zhiyuan said suddenly. Although she had always been doing this before, she hadn't communicated it with Zhang Ran, and now that she had truly seen Zhang Ran, she didn't intend to hide it.

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "You're willing to part with such a large industry? Today I'll speak from the heart with you too: I'll let others be, but if you want to take Kangshilan, I'll give it to you, and I won't take it back."

Zhang Ran said it very seriously, with no intention of joking.

Huo Zhiyuan, however, shook her head and said, "This was originally yours, Big Brother Zhang; I was only helping to manage the company during the time you were away."

Hearing her say this, Zhang Ran didn't say much more, "Let's put this matter aside for now, there's no rush. Siyan is still young, and I don't know if she has the ability to manage such a large group; let's talk about it when she truly has that capability."

After finishing, Zhang Ran sighed, "You might not believe it, but the buyer your parents found back then actually became Siyan's parents-in-law."

As he spoke, a mocking look appeared on Zhang Ran's face; he didn't know if he was mocking himself or something else.

This was also the first time Huo Zhiyuan had learned of this, and upon hearing it, she was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"I don't blame you, I can only say that fate plays tricks on people. Sigh, I was too soft-hearted back then, otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened," Zhang Ran said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your situation instead."

As he spoke, the look in Zhang Ran's eyes as he looked at Huo Zhiyuan was full of pity, "What do you plan to do about this matter? How do you plan to treat your parents?"

Hearing Zhang Ran's question, a trace of resolution appeared in Huo Zhiyuan's eyes, "Handle it according to the law; this should count as attempted murder, I will report it to the police directly."

It was clear that she had indeed been awake for a while and had heard all of Zhang Ran's words.

Zhang Ran nodded; although it wasn't his place to interfere in other people's family affairs, if Huo Zhiyuan still chose to forgive them after something like this, he wouldn't be able to stand by and watch.

"Do you know the reason?" Zhang Ran asked with some confusion; why did Sun Guilan and the others suddenly choose to do this, and what benefit did it have for them?

Hearing Zhang Ran ask this, Huo Zhiyuan was also somewhat bewildered; she actually still hadn't figured out why Sun Guilan and the others would do such a thing.

All these years, she, Huo Zhiyuan, had already done everything she could for Sun Guilan and the others, but they still chose to do such a thing, which made Huo Zhiyuan completely disappointed in them.

Originally, Huo Zhiyuan had thought about letting them spend their remaining years in peace, but now she was prepared to let them spend the rest of their lives in prison.
