Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Perish in a Sea of Flames

At this hour, Nan’s Hospital was overwhelmed with people in the dead of night.

Nan Zhuoyuan stood solemnly at the entrance of the inpatient building, his gaze fixed in the distance, as if he was waiting for someone.

There were people standing on both sides of the entrance, all holding their breath, quietly waiting.

Suddenly, two blinding headlights appeared in the distance, driving towards them.

Immediately, Nan Zhuoyuan adjusted the tie at his collar and patted down the wrinkles on his clothes to make himself look more presentable.

The next second, the car stopped in front of him.

The closest bodyguard stepped forward and opened the rear door of the car.

First, a pair of black leather shoes touched the ground from the back seat, followed by an old but strong hand clutching a string of prayer beads, resting on the car door.

The man revealed a face etched with wrinkles, mature and seasoned, with a stern look in his eyes, radiating a strong presence and full of authority.

Seeing him, Nan Zhuoyuan’s face showed guilt as he respectfully began, "Dad..."

He barely uttered a word when Nan Bofu came right up to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Zhuoyuan, hurry and take me to see your mother!" he said, his words laced with anxious concern.

Another person emerged from the car.

"Dad, I’ll lead you to her, Mom is on the eighth floor," said Nan Qingqing, arriving at Nan Bofu’s side, her arm in his, her eyes even redder and more swollen than before.

Nan Zhuoyuan, catching sight of Nan Qingqing, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Qingqing, didn’t Azhou send you back to rest?"

With eyes welling with tears, Nan Qingqing choked up, "Big brother, I couldn’t sleep. After hearing that fourth brother said Dad was back, I went with him to pick Dad up from the airport, and then we brought him here to see Mom."

Nan Zhou stepped out from the passenger side. "Big brother, don’t just stand there; let Dad see how Mom is doing."

Nan Bofu’s eyes were filled with worry for his wife, and he held Nan Qingqing’s hand, "Qingqing, let’s go up first."

Nan Qingqing nodded, "Okay, Dad."

The two of them went up first.

Nan Zhuoyuan, left behind, watched them leave and then turned to Nan Zhou.

"Did you tell Qingqing that Dad was coming back today?"

Nan Zhou placed his hands on Nan Zhuoyuan’s shoulders and embraced him as they walked forward.

"Big brother, Qingqing asked me when Dad would be back, so I told her. She said she wanted to see Dad and talk to him about Mom’s condition," he explained.

"I thought it would be a good opportunity since Dad hadn’t seen Qingqing yet, so I took her to pick Dad up from the airport."

Upon hearing this, darkness crossed Nan Zhuoyuan’s vision, and he pushed Nan Zhou’s hands away, his gaze growing deep.

He stepped quickly into the elevator, "Azhou, what exactly did Qingqing tell Dad on the way here?"

Nan Zhou, leaning against the elevator wall, oblivious to Nan Zhuoyuan’s change in emotion, replied, "She retold to Dad how Nan Yu was responsible for what happened to Mom."

Fury sparked in Nan Zhuoyuan’s eyes.

Xiao Yu was right.

This Nan Qingqing should not be underestimated; she saw our father before the rest of us and seized the opportunity to warp the truth.

Now, with preconceived notions, our father firmly believes Nan Qingqing is his biological daughter and accepts her fabricated stories as truth.

If Xiao Yu meets with our father, he will react just like our mother did before, refusing to believe my words, thinking I’m confused, and he will likely trap Xiao Yu in an impossible situation.

Meanwhile, Nan Zhou continued talking in Nan Zhuoyuan’s ear.

"Big brother, there’s something else I need to tell you."

"There was a big fire at the zoo last night that burned down half of the hill; three lions died."

"My people have determined that the fire was set by Ren Xingzhou, but he has perished in the blaze."
