Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224 When Did We Start Abiding by the Law?

Ji Zeqiu had just walked out of the ward when he saw two policemen escorting a middle-aged man out of the elevator.

He recognized one of the policemen.

When Lin Xu was first hospitalized, that policeman had come to investigate the car accident. At that time, the driver who caused the accident had fled the scene and had not been caught.

Could this middle-aged man be…

An idea came to Ji Zeqiu's mind, and he went to ask the policeman. Sure enough.

He clenched his teeth, grabbed the man's collar, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, “Was it you, you bastard, who hit her?!”

“And you even dared to flee without calling an ambulance immediately.”

If it weren't for passersby calling the police, he might now be looking at Lin Xu's corpse.

Thinking of this, Ji Zeqiu felt like he could chop this man into a thousand pieces.

“Mr. Ji, please, calm down.” The officer hurriedly pulled the two apart, fearing that Ji Zeqiu would impulsively strike.

The man trembled behind the police, his voice shaking with fear, “I… I was just too afraid, I didn't want this to happen.”

“No matter how much it costs, I will definitely try to gather the money to compensate you, could you please issue a letter of forgiveness…”

In the face of Ji Zeqiu's uncontrollable rage, the man's voice grew increasingly quieter.

“And you even dare to ask us for a letter of forgiveness?” Ji Zeqiu laughed in extreme anger, and his fist uncontrollably raised again.

Suddenly.

A hand gripped Ji Zeqiu's fist and pushed it down.

Ji Tingyang's eyes swept over the man with a chillingly cold gaze, his fierce face growing even more stern.

The man shivered uncontrollably.

“We don't need compensation, nor will we issue any letter of forgiveness, everything will be dealt with according to the law,” Ji Tingyang said.

Ji Zeqiu seemed dissatisfied, “Just jail seems too lenient for him, it would be better if…”

Ji Tingyang's stern gaze lightly landed on Ji Zeqiu, causing him to abruptly stop talking.

Ji Tingyang, unwilling to relent, was unmoved no matter how pitifully the man pleaded.

In the end, the police led the ashen-faced man away and entered Xie Changyan's ward.

A roar erupted from the ward shortly after.

It seemed Old Master Xie was also livid.

Ji Zeqiu glanced at Ji Tingyang beside him, the anger brewing inside him, and mockingly said, “Since when did you start to abide by the law?”

He was not nearly as calm when dealing with Wen Li before.

Mother truly had been too kind to Ji Tingyang.

“At least I'm not as foolish as you,” Ji Tingyang coldly glared at Ji Zeqiu. “I also know what not to say in front of the police.”

Ji Zeqiu choked, and only afterward did he realize, “Then… what are you planning to do?”

A fleeting viciousness shone in Ji Tingyang's eyes, “Of course, I'm not going to let him off easily.”

Ji Zeqiu wanted to ask more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw several doctors enter Lin Xu's ward.

Right.

Mother was still waiting for the doctors to check on her!

Seeing that man had made him forget about this.

As he saw Ji Tingyang heading to the ward, Ji Zeqiu also hurriedly rushed back in agitation.

Lin Xu had been staying in the hospital for a few days and her physical condition had recovered well, allowing her to get out of bed and walk around with the doctor's permission.

“Don't just lie in bed all day. If family members are available, take her for walks frequently, which will help in her recovery,” the doctor said.

Ji Yuqiao followed the doctor's advice, supporting Lin Xu as they walked along the hospital corridor.

As they passed by Xie Changyan's ward, Lin Xu's pace halted, and she looked inside through the glass on the door with a worried expression.

A week had passed.

Xie Changyan had not woken up.

Seeing him lying on the hospital bed without any sign of life, Lin Xu bit her lip, as if a needle lightly pricked her heart.

The pain was minor, yet it spread throughout her body, infusing every inch of her skin with this subtle pain.

“Why don't we go in and see Father?” Ji Yuqiao could tell that Lin Xu was very worried about Xie Changyan.

But her elder and second brothers wouldn't let her visit Xie Changyan.

A trace of hesitation crossed Lin Xu's face.

“Mom, don't worry, I won't tell my elder and second brothers!”

Hearing Ji Yuqiao's assurance, Lin Xu pushed open the door to the ward and slowly walked in.

Xie Mingwang noticed Lin Xu and immediately stood up from the sofa, “Miss Lin, how are you feeling?”

“The doctor said there's nothing serious. I'll be discharged after a few more days of hospital observation,” Lin Xu replied, her gaze falling on Xie Changyan, “Grandpa, may I look at him?”

“Go ahead; who knows, maybe seeing you come might make him happy enough to bounce up from the bed,” Xie Mingwang sighed.

Lin Xu walked over, held Xie Changyan's hand, and stared at his pale cheeks for a long while, feeling a surge of emotions.

“Don't foolishly jump in front like that again,” she said softly.

The first time they had a car accident, he had sheltered her in his arms, and they were both pierced by a steel bar…

After that, it seemed almost like a reflex for him to shield her every time.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Mingwang's excited voice rang out from beside her.

“Did his hand just move a bit?” Xie Mingwang's eyes suddenly brightened.

“Really?” Lin Xu immediately looked at Xie Changyan's other hand, but she saw nothing.

“I think I saw it too, it really moved!” Ji Yuqiao was equally excited.

“This rascal! This old man has been taking care of him for so long with no response, and then his wife comes to look at him and he moves,” Xie Mingwang was both annoyed and delighted.

After his delight, he hurriedly pleaded with Lin Xu, “Miss Lin, could you come to see him more often? Maybe in a couple of days, he might wake up.”

Lin Xu was certainly willing.

Afterward, she always visited Xie Changyan quietly with Ji Yuqiao during the times she was keeping vigil.

His fingers would occasionally move a bit, his eyebrows continually furrowed as if he was seeing something in his sleep.

But no matter what, he never woke up.

The day for Lin Xu to be discharged arrived swiftly.

Taking advantage of Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu handling the paperwork, Lin Xu sneaked into the ward to see Xie Changyan one last time.

“If you don't wake up soon, my sons are going to take me back to the villa and lock me up, and then I'll never be able to come see you again!” Lin Xu twisted his arm, huffing in frustration.

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu were very apprehensive about the car accident.

They even discussed never letting her leave the house, or wherever she went, they would always accompany her.

“Hurry up and wake up and discipline your two sons; I can't handle them alone,” Lin Xu complained endlessly, not noticing his eyelid move.

Xie Changyan, unknown to her, had opened his eyes at some point and looked at her with a mixture of emotions in his gaze.
