Chapter 1036: Chapter 1033: Turned into a Crybaby

She sat by the bed, holding Yan Bo’s slightly cool hand in one hand while silently wiping away the tears that she just couldn’t control.

She discovered that, ever since she met Yan Bo, she had become a crybaby!

Before, no matter how sad she was, as long as she bit her lip, the tears could be forced back.

But now, she just couldn’t hold them back.

Having no other choice, she wiped her tears while through her blurry, tear-filled eyes, she carefully observed the sleeping Yan Bo.

Probably due to the excessive blood loss, Yan Bo’s lips were pale and dry, and his complexion looked very unhealthy.

At this moment, he appeared to be sleeping, but his brows were slightly furrowed, suggesting he could still feel the pain in his head even in his dreams.

Tong Xiaohua rubbed her tear-stained hand roughly on her coat, then reached out to touch Yan Bo’s face.

Yan Bo moved slightly and Tong Xiaohua thought he was going to wake up, but he merely stirred and did not awaken.

Tong Xiaohua felt as if her heart was filled with lead, heavy and sad.

Her hand rested on his cheek, her eyes brimming with tears, but she didn’t blink as she watched him.

After watching him for about fifteen minutes, her flood of tears finally ceased, and she collected her thoughts, tucked Yan Bo’s blanket in properly, and turned to leave the hospital room.

As Di Xu came out of the hospital room, he had been standing with Brother Yang in the corridor outside the door. Seeing Tong Xiaohua come out, he approached her.

"Still sleeping?"

Tong Xiaohua nodded and said to Brother Yang, "Brother Yang, please keep watch here for a while."

"Senior Brother, let’s talk over there."

Fearing she might disturb Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua gestured towards the end of the corridor.

Di Xu walked with her, and seeing that the window was wide open, he quickly closed it.

Since Yan Bo was already lying in the hospital bed, it would be troublesome if his little apprentice sister fell ill too.

"Senior Brother, did those workers really cause trouble just because they weren’t satisfied with the construction company’s salary?"

With the recent succession of events, Tong Xiaohua couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Di Xu frowned slightly, "On the surface, it seems to be the case, but to understand the deeper issues, I have no way of knowing. Likely, we’ll have to wait for the Boss to wake up before we can start investigating."

Di Xu was exceptionally capable in business, but his connections were nothing compared to the formidable background of Yan Bo. Thus, even though he sensed something fishy, he had no way to proceed or to even begin looking into matters.

Tong Xiaohua bit her lip and thought for a moment, "Senior Brother, please tell me the detailed information about the construction company that caused the disturbance today, and any other useful information you have."

Di Xu certainly understood the importance of this matter, and he was also aware of the tremendous power behind Tong Xiaohua from the Tong Family.

He thought seriously for a while, then told Tong Xiaohua everything he knew about the situation in great detail.

After listening, Tong Xiaohua picked up her phone and sent out a message.

Soon, her phone rang.

"Dad, I think there’s something fishy about this. Senior Brother has shared some information with me; could you have someone look into them?"

Tong Xiaohua relayed the messages Di Xu had just shared with her concisely and clearly to her father, Tong Lao Da, on the other end of the phone, and the father and daughter talked for nearly twenty minutes.

As soon as she called out "Dad," Di Xu tactfully stepped away.

After all, the Tong Family was not an ordinary family; their ways and means of handling things differed from those of commoners.

"Did Miss Tong get any rest on the way?"

Back near the hospital room, Di Xu chatted with Brother Yang.

Brother Yang helplessly shook his head, "She was so anxious on the way here she nearly cried; how could she sleep?"

Di Xu let out a sigh, "I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. When I sensed something was wrong, I thought I could throw myself at him and push him out of the way, but I was still a step too late."

Yang Ge comforted him, "Don’t worry, the third Young Master is very robust, he’ll recover quickly."

Di Xu actually agreed, "Yeah, the key point now is to catch the mastermind behind this, otherwise, it will never end."

Tong Xiaohua came back from making a phone call and just happened to hear what Di Xu said.

After some thought, she decided to tell Di Xu the preliminary information she had heard from her dad.

"That construction company had previously undertaken the New City Government Project in F City."

Di Xu’s mind quickly processed this information, and then his brow furrowed.

"The F City where Boss’s elder brother is in office?"

Tong Xiaohua nodded, "But I think it’s just a coincidence."

As to whether it was a coincidence, in truth, no one knew.

At least, until the situation was thoroughly investigated and clarified, nobody dared to jump to conclusions.

Di Xu was not aware that the relationship between Yan Bo and his parents and elder brother had become so strained, so he also felt it was purely coincidental.

"It should just be a coincidence..." but after a moment, he added, "Unless there was some conflict with the Boss’s elder brother during the construction period..."

This explanation seemed reasonable.

Having been frustrated by Yan Yuan, taking it out on Yan Bo was not impossible.

Tong Xiaohua hummed in agreement, "My dad has already sent someone to investigate, and we likely won’t have any results until morning. You should go with Yang Ge to find a hotel nearby to rest, while I’ll stay here with Yan Bo."

Yang Ge looked at Di Xu, "Mr. Di, you go find a place to rest, I’ll stay here on watch."

Yang Ge served as both driver and bodyguard, and although there were other bodyguards there, he was not at ease.

And Di Xu was similarly concerned, "Forget it, it’s already this time, heading to a hotel won’t give me much sleep anyway, I’ll just take a quick nap here. When Boss wakes up in the morning, we can see what the situation is then."

Tong Xiaohua, seeing that she couldn’t persuade them both, didn’t bother to try anymore. She entered the hospital room, dragged a chair to the front of the bed, and just like that, she stayed with Yan Bo until dawn.

When Yan Bo woke up, he barely opened his eyes when he heard a familiar voice reach his ears.

"You’re awake? How do you feel? Does your head still hurt?"

Tong Xiaohua watched him for a moment, seeing him slightly open his eyes, she stood up anxiously and leaned over to look at him.

Even though Yan Bo hadn’t clearly seen the person in front of him yet, the anxious voice was unmistakable.

Yan Bo reached out his hand, through blurry vision, he touched the faint outline of the face before him.

As his fingertips came into contact with the other person’s skin, his furrowed brow involuntarily tightened even more.

"Why is your face so cold?"

Tears nearly escaped Tong Xiaohua’s eyes again.

She lifted her hand to cover his, sniffed, and spoke.

"It’s your hand that’s cold, not my face. How do you feel now?"

This time, Yan Bo could finally see more clearly.

"How long have you been here?"

He still hadn’t answered Tong Xiaohua’s question; he just saw her haggard complexion and reckoned she must have been there a long time.

Tong Xiaohua leaned down and kissed his parched lips, "Not long, you fainted last night, and I’ve only been here for four or five hours."

Yan Bo stared at her, "I’m sorry! I’ve made you worry!"
