Chapter 565: Chapter 555 Wanting to Enjoy Alone

Han Dashan returned to the arranged accommodation.

"Dad, look at me..."

His father had already fallen asleep. At his age, with a life of indulgence in drinking, gambling, and womanizing, his health was much worse than many of his peers. After rushing around during the day, he fell asleep immediately after dinner.

As for his comatose daughter still in the hospital, to him, she was just an ATM. He had no feelings for her at all!

He slept without a mental burden.

But now he was woken up by his son and glared at him as he opened his eyes.

"It’s the dead of night, you lousy dog who disturbs your father’s sleep, what do you want? Hurry up! Did your sister wake up?"

"No, she hasn’t." Han Dashan, who was tall and strong, instinctively hunched his shoulders under his father’s glare, "I just got back from the hospital, she hasn’t woken up yet."

"If she hasn’t woken up, why are you calling me? You’re a grown man, do I still have to serve you to sleep?"

Han Dashan squeezed the piece of paper in his hand tightly and suddenly didn’t want to share the news of someone secretly contacting him at the hospital with this increasingly nasty old man.

"Dad, you sleep, just keep sleeping."

Hearing the snoring sound rise again by his ear, Han Dashan walked to the bathroom, sat on the toilet lid, and finally opened the slightly dampened note.

After reading the content on the paper, his breath became rapid.

When he looked up again, his face was all flushed with excitement.

"Good thing I didn’t tell that old bastard outside."

Otherwise, how could he enjoy such a huge benefit alone?

With his father’s behavior, what would land in his hands might just be bits and pieces.

Now, with huge interests in his hand, Han Dashan finally felt smart for once. After memorizing the number and address on the note by heart, he ripped the paper into pieces according to the instructions, lifted the toilet lid, and flushed them down the drain.

Only then did he gently open the bathroom door, walk outside, and stood before the single bed emitting the snoring sound.

With a silent chant, "Dad, don’t blame your son for being ruthless this time. If the money reached you, you would go drink and gamble again, leaving barely anything for me. I’ve been dragged around by you till I’m over thirty and still haven’t got a wife. As long as I get this money, I’ll go back home and pick any beautiful girl around to marry, and I’ll make sure to look after you and bury you properly when the time comes!"

After musing about this, he felt much more at ease. He lay on the bed next to him without a burden, relishing the scenes of buying a house, a car, and marrying a beautiful wife after becoming a millionaire, and fell into a sweet dream with an uncontrollable chuckle.

Pei Xinyuan busily accompanied the awakened Han Jiaojiao while also working on embroidering gifts, finally managing to complete the remaining gifts before noon the next day.

She had originally been worried that the Han father and son would come over and cause trouble. Last night, Jiaojiao pretended to sleep and fooled Han Dashan, but in the daytime, if a doctor was around, that lie wouldn’t work.

As it turned out, they didn’t show up even once in the morning.

She asked the police officer responsible for monitoring the father-son duo’s movements, and he said that they both had been sleeping soundly without a care in the world, snoring loudly, making it impossible for them to disturb each other.

This left the intern officer supervising them speechless.

Pei Xinyuan also found herself speechless for several seconds. "Worried for nothing!"

Han Jiaojiao, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised at all. That father and son pair had no heart. If they had one, it would only be stuck on money, leaving no room for her, their daughter (sister). They only remembered her when they needed her to send money home every month.

She was disgusted but helpless.

She guessed that the father and son even wished for her to die, thinking in that way they could get more compensation.

Just right now, she also thought it would be best if some accident could directly take out the father and son!

Seeing a doctor coming in for a checkup, Pei Xinyuan quickly stood up to give way, "Jiaojiao, I’m stepping out to make a video call."

Han Jiaojiao blinked to show she understood.

Once out of the room, Pei Xinyuan first sent a message in the group chat created by the crew for live streaming: [Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I have finished preparing my gifts here too, and they can be sent out now.]

The first person to respond was always the one with the fastest internet, Wei Minmin: [No rush, no rush, how’s your friend, Xinyuan?]

More than a day had passed, and everyone now knew that they had unknowingly become involved with an acquaintance’s friend.

As soon as Wei Minmin’s message appeared in the chat, several messages of comfort and understanding followed.

Pei Xinyuan: [Thank you all for caring, fortunately the life is saved.]

[That’s good, if you need any help feel free to ask me.]

Though she knew these were just polite words, Pei Xinyuan still thanked them once more before exiting the chat room.

Standing quietly in place for a moment, she then clicked on Jiang Lingxi’s avatar to invite her to a video call.

Yesterday, Xixi said she would help, and that was different from the help those people in the group just mentioned.

She could feel that Xixi truly intended to seek justice for Jiaojiao.

But what Jiaojiao’s father and brother did in the ward yesterday left her very uneasy; she always felt that those two might mess things up.

After thinking about it, it’s better to remind Xixi.

At this moment, Jiang Lingxi just finished reviewing the chat history in the group. Seeing Pei Xinyuan’s video invitation, she clicked to connect.

"Xinyuan."

"Xixi, I have something to tell you."

"About Han Jiaojiao’s father and brother?"

"Yes, they arrived at the hospital yesterday, but they don’t care about Jiaojiao at all. They are only thinking about using Jiaojiao’s serious injury to demand compensation. I’m just worried they’ll screw things up!"

Jiang Lingxi looked at the worry on Pei Xinyuan’s face, "It’s not a possibility; it’s a certainty." Her gaze shifted behind Pei Xinyuan, realizing the girl was likely in the hospital corridor, "The fact that Bai Shengyu’s assistant could arrive so timely yesterday suggests they have someone in the hospital on their payroll — anyone, a nurse, a janitor, could be involved."

Pei Xinyuan couldn’t help but widen her eyes and instinctively covered her phone to look around her, wondering if Mr. Bai’s informant could be nearby.

"Don’t be afraid; that person can only pass messages. If anything happens to Han Jiaojiao in the hospital, Bai Shengyu would be suspected of murdering to silence. He wouldn’t dig his own grave. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried to use money to shut people up yesterday."

Pei Xinyuan nodded in agreement, "But when I think about someone watching from the shadows in everything I do, it makes me uncomfortable."

"Bai Shengyu will likely try to buy off Han Jiaojiao’s father and brother; I’m sure of this, and the police probably figured it out too."

"Yeah, I thought of that too. But now their actions are restricted; they probably can’t even see Mr. Bai, right?"

"Naive," Jiang Lingxi chuckled lightly, "Money can make the devil turn millstones, let alone people. Xinyuan, you’re still in the hospital. When you see the Han father and son, observe them closely. If my guess is right, Bai Shengyu already communicated with them in some way. The Han father and son will likely rattle their brains trying to evade police surveillance to meet with Bai Shengyu."

"So many people here, Jiaojiao, my sister, you’re finally awake; your brother was so worried, and so was dad."

Pei Xinyuan ended the call and turned her head to see the Han father and son already stepping into the ward, excitedly heading towards the hospital bed.

Recalling Xixi’s advice just now, she quickly followed them inside.

She wanted to see what method these two would use to bypass their restrictions and meet with that despicable culprit!
