Chapter 199: Someone Most Probably Targeted Her Grandma Deliberately

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the doctor didn’t ask about the patient’s family, Chen Shulan had been in the hospital for nearly half a year and he could feel the delicate relationship between Qin Ran and Ning Qing.

Ning Qing was indeed Qin Ran’s mother, but in reality... she didn’t understand Qin Ran as much as even he did.

The doctor recalled what Qin Ran once said to him and lowered his head to find her number. He dialed it directly, but it went to the voicemail and nobody picked up.

Not far behind him, Ning Qing stood rooted to the spot, her eyes widened in panic and teary.

After a long while, she finally reached out with trembling hands to take out her phone and call Ning Wei and the others.

Gu Xichi’s results came out at four o’clock in the afternoon.

He still had to settle several things, so Qin Ran originally planned to wait for him to catalyze the enzyme before returning to Yun Cheng.

But she started feeling inexpressibly uneasy after lunch in the afternoon.

She couldn’t wait for an hour and went straight back to Yun Cheng.

Obviously, Cheng Mu and Cheng Juan followed her back. Lu Zhaoying had come to see the OST game, and now that it was over, he naturally went back with Qin Ran as well.

Jiang Dongye sent the four of them out and wanted to ask Qin Ran why she was going back so early instead of waiting for a little while more for Gu Xichi, but he saw her expression and didn’t dare ask.

The four of them got on the plane and took a while to fly to Yun Cheng.

Qin Ran was on the plane when Chen Shulan’s attending doctor called her.

Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Mu sat together in a row, while Qin Ran and Cheng Juan sat in another column. Cheng Juan discovered that Qin Ran’s expression was uneasy, so he sat up and comforted her. “It’s okay, Gu Xichi’s medicine should be out now.”

Qin Ran nodded and didn’t say anything.

The plane reached Yun Cheng quickly.

It was getting late.

Yun Cheng was much colder than Shanghai, and when they came down from the airplane, they could see snowflakes outside and feel the cold, strong wind.

Snowflakes melted when they fell to the ground.

Qin Ran was still wearing the standard black coat that flared behind her as she walked on the road.

Cheng Juan followed a step behind her and whispered something to Lu Zhaoying. As if feeling the cold wind, he reached out and handed a scarf to Qin Ran.

Cheng Mu contacted someone to drive the car over.

The atmosphere of the group was rather depressing, and even Lu Zhaoying was rarely quiet and didn’t jest about.

Silent, Qin Ran carried her backpack and wrapped the scarf around her neck.

It blocked the wind coming from all directions.

Cheng Juan finished talking to Lu Zhaoying and turned over. He reached out to tidy up her scarf before lowering his head and saying in a calm and steady voice, “Don’t be afraid, it will be fine.”

In the hospital.

Ning Wei and Mu Nan arrived first.

Ning Wei had yet to be discharged from the hospital, but she was still able to walk on crutches with Mu Nan supporting her to the emergency room.

Mu Ying was still at home and had not arrived.

Lin Qi stood outside the door, his head lowered while he smoked. He frowned when he saw Ning Wei and the others, sighed, and then turned to let them in. “They are all inside.”

The corners of Ning Wei’s mouth trembled as she went in.

In the half a year that Chen Shulan had stayed in the hospital, besides the Lin family and the dean, even Cheng Juan had greeted them before.

This patient’s importance was self-evident.

At this time, several doctors stood in the emergency room even though it was already past the time to get off work.

“Xiao Nan, come here.” Chen Shulan leaned on the pillow and appeared to be in a good state of mind—her expression was gentle and peaceful.

Mu Nan felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard her. He walked over to her and sat on the chair that Ning Qing had given up for him. His eyes were red, but he controlled his tears and said forcefully, “Grandma.”

“Xiao Nan, do you still have the things I gave you?” Chen Shulan reached out and stroked his head with a gentle smile.

Mu Nan choked and nodded.

Chen Shulan murmured, “That’s good, that’s good.”

Her spirits improved and she forcefully chatted with Mu Nan and Ning Qing. Before long, Mu Ying rushed in wearing a coat.

Chen Shulan’s condition was a little bad at this time.

Mu Ying stood beside Mu Nan and greeted her.

After saying a few words to her, Chen Shulan turned her pair of murky eyes to look out of the door and murmured, “Where is Ran Ran? Ran Ran has not come back yet?”

Mu Nan held the old lady’s hand and stared at her with his dark eyes. “Cousin will be back soon, you should... wait a little more.”

Old Master Lin also rushed over.

He glanced at Lin Qi and asked about the situation, “How is she?”

“The old lady probably cannot take it anymore.” Lin Qi couldn’t bear to see the separation of life and death in the hospital and sighed before explaining to Old Master Lin.

It was as Old Master Lin expected, so he was silent for a moment before sighing and nodding. He glanced into the ward with a grave expression. “Qin Ran is still not back?”

“I heard that she’s still in Shanghai. I don’t know when she will come back.” Lin Qi shook his head.

“Oh, I don’t know if she can arrive in time.” Old Master Lin sighed again, and while walking in, he said to Lin Qi, “The old lady probably knows that she cannot hold on anymore. Prepare whatever needs to be done after her passing.”

The Ning family had many old women and weak children. If anything really happened to Chen Shulan, Lin Qi would have to preside over the overall situation.

Lin Qi followed him in.

Only a few hours had passed, but Chen Shulan seemed to have aged many years. Although her eyes were still cloudy, they had always been bright, but now, they appeared dark instead.

At the sight of Lin Qi, Chen Shulan got up again and said a few words to him, telling him to get along well with Ning Qing in the future.

At this moment.

Qin Ran finally arrived.

She came inside alone while Cheng Mu stopped behind her.

Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Juan were downstairs.

Both of them deliberately stayed behind.

“What’s the matter?” Cheng Juan watched Cheng Mu bring Qin Ran up, then looked at Lu Zhaoying while frowning deeply.

Lu Zhaoying took a deep breath and put down his phone. He glanced at Cheng Juan and said, “Your guess about the CNS medicine might have been correct. Someone most probably targeted Qin Ran’s grandma deliberately. Jiang Dongye called me just now and told me that Gu Xichi’s flight has been canceled for no reason.”

Yun Cheng wasn’t a popular first-tier or tourist city.

There were only a few flights to and from Shanghai every day.

Gu Xichi and Jiang Dongye’s flight had been canceled and they had to wait until tomorrow morning for the next flight.

It would be midnight by the time they reached Yun Cheng. Nobody knew what would happen in such a long period of time.

Jiang Dongye and Gu Xichi were probably afraid that Qin Ran would worry, so they had only told Lu Zhaoying about this, and Lu Zhaoying had also avoided Qin Ran.

Lu Zhaoying and Jiang Dongye didn’t know that Cheng Juan had a connection with the big boss of the airlines.

But as long as these things were involved, it was a good decision to find Cheng Juan.

Hearing this, Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes slightly and took out his phone from his pocket. He then walked to the other side and made a phone call.
