兔子助手

Chapter 38



Chu Xinyue was left speechless, her shock at the revelation quickly overshadowed by Qin Zhao\'s words.

At that moment, the manager seemed to recall something. His face changed dramatically as he hurriedly left.

The researcher nearby also belatedly realized, "Wait, so that syringe she was holding earlier, with the blood-like liquid inside, was she planning to... Could it be that last night she was also planning to..."

Everyone turned to look at Qin Zhao in horror.

[She was trying to harm Qin Zhao last night, but now the target has become Xinyue. What a madwoman,] Ji Fei mused.

Qin Zhao snorted coldly, "Who knows? In any case, we should all be on guard whenever she appears from now on."

Chu Xinyue felt dazed, unable to imagine how things had taken such a turn.

Because it was a malicious assault case, they all had to stay and cooperate with the police investigation before they could leave the city.

Qin Zhao, due to the severity of his wound, needed stitches and was sent directly to the hospital, accompanied by Gao Hao.

When Ji Fei came out of the police station, she saw a tall man wearing a gray coat over a black suit, standing in front of a black business van. He stood ramrod straight, his deep-set eyes beneath thick long lashes fixed intently on the police station entrance, seriously waiting for someone.

Although Ji Fei had no particular feelings for Qin Xian, she had to admit that the moment he appeared, it gave people a sense of security, as if everything would be alright.

Ji Fei walked over with light steps. Qin Xian didn\'t wait in place but actively approached her. With his long legs, he reached Ji Fei in just a few strides. He lowered his head, scanning her up and down for a few seconds before asking, "Are you hurt?"

Ji Fei waved her hand, "I\'m fine. Why are you here? Didn\'t Brother Gao arrange for a lawyer to handle this? Qin Zhao should be able to transfer back once his wound is stitched up. Didn\'t he tell you?"

Seeing that Ji Fei seemed to be in good spirits, Qin Xian knew she hadn\'t been frightened. "Couldn\'t reach him. He\'s asleep from the anesthesia."

"So we\'re going to the hospital now?" Ji Fei asked.

Qin Xian nodded.

Ji Fei called Xiao Tao to come along, but just then, Chu Xinyue walked over quickly and said to Qin Xian, "I\'m sorry, Qin Zhao was injured because of me..."

"I\'ve been briefed on what happened. It has nothing to do with you. As a man, protecting a woman is part of his upbringing. Miss Chu, you don\'t need to worry too much about it. Regarding the investment, it won\'t have any impact," Qin Xian said in a businesslike manner.

Ji Fei looked at Qin Xian in surprise. He hadn\'t framed it as a life-saving debt, which meant he didn\'t want to put any emotional burden on Chu Xinyue that might force her to yield, given that she had rejected Qin Zhao.

Chu Xinyue also understood his meaning and lowered her gaze.

Qin Xian thought of his unfortunate brother and spoke again, "We\'re going to the hospital to pick up Qin Zhao. Would you like to come along and see him?"

After all, his brother had risked his life, so he hoped this might cheer him up a little.

This time, Chu Xinyue didn\'t hesitate and was about to nod when her phone rang.

It was an unknown number, but the moment she answered, she recognized the shouting voice as Mr. Chu\'s.

She had long since blocked all contact methods from the Chu family, so this must have been a call from someone else\'s phone.

"Chu Xinyue, you unfilial daughter! Running away from home in a fit of anger was bad enough, but now you\'ve even implicated your sister in such a terrible ordeal! You knew very well that your sister\'s health was poor, yet you still got involved with such people and let your sister take the blow for you! Even if you hold grudges, do you want your sister to die?! Get over here right now! Come and see what kind of sin you\'ve committed!"

"Xinyue, hurry to the hospital! Your sister was stabbed many times by that madwoman, and... *sobs*... Come to the hospital quickly to see your sister!"

The Chu couple\'s words came out in a rush, as if they were afraid Chu Xinyue would hang up.

The urgency and anguish in their voices made even Chu Xinyue furrow her brow for a moment.

Could Chu Xueqi\'s injuries be fatal?

Although she had hardened her heart against the Chu family, Chu Xinyue had never thought about getting revenge. Now, if Chu Xueqi died because of her, she felt like she would be haunted by Chu Xueqi for the rest of her life.

That feeling was like a nightmare.

Chu Xinyue almost lost her balance and was steadied by Ji Fei.

Unexpectedly, Ji Fei snatched the phone, hung up, and then turned it off.

"Sister Ji Fei?" Chu Xinyue stared blankly at Ji Fei.

Ji Fei made up an excuse, "I\'m sure everything\'s fine. If it wasn\'t, the police at the station would have told us first thing. The Chu couple probably just want to vent their anger on you. So I suggest you go back with your team, focus on preparing your investment report, and don\'t respond to anyone trying to contact you. You\'ve already cut ties with them, so from now on, treat it as if they\'re dead to you."

[You absolutely can\'t go there. How many times have your parents deceived you? They\'re just waiting for you to show up so they can use you!]

Chu Xinyue thought for a moment and then said, "But Qin Zhao..."

Qin Xian, hearing Ji Fei\'s inner thoughts, frowned. If something really had happened, his brother would surely get worked up again. So he spoke up, "We\'ll let him know for you. You\'re welcome to come visit him anytime after we get back."

In the end, Chu Xinyue left with her team, keeping her phone turned off.

When Qin Xian brought Ji Fei to Qin Zhao\'s hospital room, Qin Zhao had just woken up. Not seeing Chu Xinyue, his face immediately fell, his mood visibly low.

Gao Hao couldn\'t bear to see Qin Zhao like this and couldn\'t help but complain, "Qin Zhao got injured saving her, and she won\'t even come to visit?"

Qin Zhao instantly reacted with a cold voice, "Brother Gao, don\'t say that. I know why she didn\'t come. She must be afraid that I\'ll use this favor to manipulate her feelings. How could I ever do such a thing! No, I need to contact her and make this clear."

Ji Fei raised an eyebrow. These brothers sure think alike.

But when Qin Zhao picked up his phone, he remembered he had been blocked and looked disappointed.

Qin Xian stepped forward and patted Qin Zhao\'s head, "She was going to come originally."

Qin Zhao\'s eyes immediately lit up.

[That\'s right, even if she doesn\'t accept you, she still has that much sense of duty.]

Qin Zhao felt like he\'d been struck by an arrow.

If you can\'t say anything nice, don\'t say anything at all!

Qin Xian: ...

"Then why didn\'t she come?" Gao Hao asked curiously.

"Because Mr. and Mrs. Chu are in this hospital," Qin Xian mentioned, and Qin Zhao exploded.

"Are they blaming Xinyue for this incident and giving her a hard time again?!"

[It\'s worse than just giving her a hard time! They want to use Xinyue as a spare parts donor!]

Qin Zhao\'s face changed dramatically, startling Gao Hao across from him. What was going on?

Qin Xian frowned slightly as he heard Ji Fei\'s unceasing internal complaints.

[Chu Xueqi was stabbed three times. The reason they\'re so desperate to get Chu Xinyue there is that two of the stabs damaged her kidneys. Chu Xueqi\'s organs have been weak since childhood, and now both kidneys are injured. Although it\'s not life-threatening organ failure, they definitely won\'t last many years. So those two have made up their minds to use this opportunity to make her donate a healthy kidney for Chu Xueqi to use.]

[Not only that, but they\'ve also consulted about skin grafting. The last stab wound was on Chu Xueqi\'s face, disfiguring her. She needs skin grafts to repair it, but Chu Xueqi\'s body can\'t handle the strain. So they\'re thinking of transplanting skin from Chu Xinyue to use on Chu Xueqi. Since they\'re twins, there\'s basically no risk of rejection, making it the most suitable option.]

[What terrible parents! It\'s as if they think that everything on the child they gave birth to should be fairly distributed between the two as a matter of course. It\'s sickening!]

As Ji Fei was ranting internally, she suddenly saw Qin Zhao jump up from the hospital bed.

"Ah Zhao!" Gao Hao exclaimed in shock.

Qin Xian frowned slightly, "Don\'t make a fuss. I\'ll handle this."

But Qin Zhao was already overcome with anger, his eyes bloodshot, "I\'m only injured in the arm, it\'s not like I can\'t move. Damn it! This time I\'m going to put an end to this once and for all!"

With that, he rushed out of the hospital room.
