Reborn as a Good Child

"How did Lil Bro know there's something wrong with this man? Why did he have Chen Feng investigate these men out of the blue?" Yan mused.

JingYuan tilted his head and supported it with a hand. "Ever since XueQing and TianYang confirmed their relationship, HanHan had been worried. About two weeks ago, he asked Jiang Hua to look into all of XueQing's suitors. He said he was afraid the more easily agitated suitors might not accept the relationship and splash acid at XueQing and TianYang."

"Jiang Hua..." Yan muttered. His heart started racing for some unknown reason. He  looked at the paper Chen Feng handed over. He continued, "The organisation method used here is certainly Jiang Hua's style."

"He must've been traumatised by his kidnapping," XueQing murmured. She was both touched and upset by the thought.

"I thought so too," JingYuan said. "Who knew that HanHan's blind guess really dug up a sinister plan and he just so happened to have found him."

"First, it's HanHan. He was the target for attack after attack," FuRen mused. His brows scrunched together in a frown. "Then, it's XueQing. The mastermind isn't just targeting HanHan. They're after the Bai family. HanHan, XueQing, Yan, even I, are all 'their' targets."

JingYuan closed his eyes and said, "Everyone might be 'their' target, but this matter might not be 'their' doing. Uncle, what happened today and what happened to HanHan don't seem to have been done by the same person. The mastermind behind the attacks targeting HanHan is very thorough. There was a plan for every step of the way. They also hid their identity extremely well. This person behind the incident this time, however, was clearly much more crass in their methods."

"Just what did our family do to have made so many enemies?" XueQing exhaled in frustration. "They've all popped out of the woodwork and they all want the lives of us three siblings!"

"Calm down, XueQing," FuRen said, patting her on the shoulder. "The police are still investigating HanHan's case. They don't have a lead yet but today's incident...Chen Feng, you'll handle it yourself. You must find me the woman in that photo before the police does. I'd like to ask her just what my family did to make an enemy of her!"

Chen Feng was already ill at ease with himself because a mistake on his part had put the Little Master in danger's way. Upon hearing Bai FuRen's order, he immediately stood to attention.

"Don't worry, sir," Chen Feng solemnly replied. "I'll bring that woman to you even if I have to risk my life!" He then shot a look at the closed doors of the Emergency Room before marching off.

XueQing collapsed back on her chair. She'd instinctively shot to her feet when her emotions overwhelmed her.

"I'm so very tired of being stuck at such a disadvantage!" XueQing roared with a frustrated ruffle of her hair. "That man was definitely gunning for me yet HanHan was the one who's hurt. TianYang also broke a leg! They've both gotten hurt in my place. Aaargh! I'd rather the one who was hurt is me!"

Yan leaned down and hugged his sister around the shoulders. "Don't be like this, XueQing," he softly said. "They love you. They don't want you hurt. It's why they'd do anything to protect you, even if they're injured in the process. Being well is the best way to reciprocate."

JingYuan nodded in agreement and patted XueQing on the shoulder.

The time they spent waiting was long and arduous. During the wait, Captain Chen Jing and Fang Yi had rushed into the hospital. After getting a detailed statement on what happened, they went to look in on Wei Quan.

YiHan's car crashed into the silver Volkswagen on the passenger side. Wei Quan was merely knocked unconscious due to the impact. He suffered no major injuries. Not long after arriving at the hospital, he woke up. He quickly realised something was off with his surroundings and tried to run away. However, the Bai family bodyguards swiftly stopped his escape attempt and kept him confined to his ward.
