Chapter 1035: Chapter 1032: Injured

Tong Xiaohua, having considered this idea, said to Xiao Mi, "Then I’ll think about it. When’s the latest I can get back to you?"

Xiao Mi thought for a moment, "We’re leaving in a week, but we’ll be making arrangements a couple of days in advance. How about I give you three days to consider?"

"Okay, I’ll get back to you later."

Tong Xiaohua thought that she would probably really join Xiao Mi and the others on their trip to the border.

But this thought only lasted a few hours.

After dinner with Xiao Mi and Zeng Xianghai, Tong Xiaohua was driven by her driver to stroll around the nearby shops.

She had been busy with exams for a while and hadn’t shown up in the shops for quite some days. Upon seeing her arrival, numerous supervisors naturally had a lot to report. By the time she had made rounds in the North District, it was nearly midnight.

And her phone had rung three times since dinner, once from Mom Tong, once from Qin Ming, and once from Tong Laoda.

Not once was it Yan Bo.

She was worried about his situation and couldn’t wait to get home, so she directly called Yan Bo from the car.

The phone rang for a long, long time, but no one answered.

Tong Xiaohua’s anxiety grew and after a while, she dialed again, still no answer.

Tong Xiaohua didn’t dare call again; her fingers flew as she sent a message.

"The issue hasn’t been resolved?"

After the message was sent, Tong Xiaohua clutched the mobile phone tightly in her palm, checking it occasionally.

Unfortunately, by the time she got home, Yan Bo still had not replied a single word.

Fearing she would miss a message or call from Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua took her mobile phone into the bathroom with her while she showered.

Midway through her shower, the phone rang.

Tong Xiaohua, in a flurry, grabbed a bath towel, not caring that her body was covered in bubbles. She wrapped herself in the bath towel, took the phone from the shelf and saw the caller ID displaying Yan Bo.

"Yan Bo? Are you done with work?"

Her anxiety apparent, Tong Xiaohua didn’t wait for the other side to speak. As soon as the call connected, she asked.

"Junior sister, it’s me!"

The response, however, was not from Yan Bo, but from Di Xu.

Tong Xiaohua’s heart skipped a beat, and she became even more worried, "Senior brother? Where’s Yan Bo? He’s not answering my calls, nor my texts. Has something happened?"

"Junior sister, listen to me..." Di Xu’s voice was very low, noticeably different from his usual tone.

Tong Xiaohua had a growing sense of foreboding, and then she heard Di Xu say, "The Boss came to deal with a dispute at the construction site, and then, he was accidentally injured by a worker."

"Yan Bo is injured? How serious is it, where is he now?" Tong Xiaohua’s voice suddenly rose several octaves, as she paced in place on the phone.

"The Boss was hit in the head with a brick by a worker, lost quite a bit of blood, was taken to the hospital for a blood transfusion, and is now undergoing further examination. You don’t need to worry too much!"

Tong Xiaohua’s eyes were red, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Which hospital is he in? I’ll rush over right now!"

"Junior sister, you don’t need to be so anxious. I think the Boss doesn’t have any serious problems. It’s so late now; you just stay at home for now. Once the doctor’s examination results are in, I’ll call you, okay?"

Di Xu on the phone was coaxing Tong Xiaohua in a gentle voice, probably to avoid scaring her.

But in fact, he had already scared Tong Xiaohua.

Tong Xiaohua didn’t say whether the news was good or bad, she just said goodbye, hung up the phone, quickly rinsed off the suds from her body, put on some warm clothes at random, then picked up her bag and walked out of the bedroom.

She knocked gently on the door of the bedroom next door, and soon, the head of Tong’s eldest poked out, "It’s so late, are you looking for your mom?"

Tong Xiaohua’s eyes were still a bit red, but the corridor lighting was dim, and Tong’s eldest hadn’t noticed.

"Dad, come out for a moment," Tong Xiaohua said in a low voice.

Tong’s eldest stepped out and finally saw Tong Xiaohua dressed to go out, even carrying a backpack, and couldn’t help frowning, "You just got back now?"

"No, I’m going out now."

"Going out so late? Did you have plans with Yan Bo?" Tong’s eldest frowned even more deeply.

Although he had already accepted Yan Bo as his future son-in-law, he still felt somewhat irritated at the thought of his precious daughter going out in the middle of the night.

"Dad, Yan Bo went to the neighboring city to handle some business this afternoon, and then, at the construction site, a worker hit him in the head with a brick. He lost a lot of blood, and his condition is unclear, still under examination. I want to go and see him now."

Tong’s eldest was startled, "Hit in the head? This could be serious or minor. How about you stay home, and I’ll go check on him? It’s so late; will you even be able to sleep if you rush over there?"

Tong’s eldest was about to go back to his room to change clothes while saying this.

Tong Xiaohua grabbed him, "Dad, I won’t be able to sleep at home anyway. I need to go and see the situation to feel at ease. You stay here and keep Mom company; let’s not tell her about this for now."

Tong’s eldest looked at his daughter closely and eventually nodded helplessly, "Alright, I’ll have Xiao Yang drive you there. Try to sleep a bit on the way, don’t exhaust yourself."

Tong Xiaohua acknowledged with an "Mhm," "I’m leaving now. I’ll check out the situation there, and if it’s not serious, I won’t notify you. If it’s serious, I’ll send you a message."

Tong’s eldest pulled her into an embrace and hugged her tight, offering consolation.

"Don’t worry, Xiao Yan is in good physical condition; nothing serious will happen."

The car had barely left Tong Village when Tong Xiaohua picked up her mobile phone and dialed out again.

This time, she called Di Xu directly.

"Senior brother, I’m on my way now. Please, tell me the hospital name and hospital room number."

Di Xu was taken aback, somewhat helplessly he said, "Little junior sister, you really are headstrong..."

"Senior brother, you’re asking me to wait at home for news, but if you were in my shoes, could you sit still?"

"Alright, head to the Second Hospital in N City, and give me a call when you get there, because the boss is still under examination, and I don’t know which hospital room he’ll be in later on."

After about half an hour’s drive, Di Xu’s phone call came through.

"Little junior sister, the boss’s examination results are out. Besides losing a bit too much blood and a mild concussion, there’s nothing major. You can relax now."

Tong Xiaohua let out a slight sigh of relief, "Can he take a phone call now?"

Even though Di Xu said Yan Bo wasn’t seriously hurt, Tong Xiaohua still wanted to hear Yan Bo’s voice to be more at ease.

"The boss lost a fair amount of blood and felt a bit dizzy, so he went to sleep shortly after getting out. The doctor said he’ll be better tomorrow."

Hearing Di Xu say that, Tong Xiaohua started to worry again.

But worrying was of no use; she could only sit in the car, heart in knots, for more than two hours.

It wasn’t until she saw Yan Bo, lying on the hospital bed looking deeply asleep, that Tong Xiaohua’s heart finally settled down.

Di Xu, very considerately, led her into the room and only said, "The boss is fine, you don’t need to worry."

Then, tactfully, he stepped out, gently closing the door behind him.

Tong Xiaohua looked at Yan Bo, his head wrapped in bandages, and her tears couldn’t help falling.
