1331 Was It Already That Obvious?
In a high-cla.s.s private hospital in the suburbs of Baiyun City.
A silver-gray Maybach slowly stopped in the parking s.p.a.ce. The door opened, and Ji Haoyu alighted with sungla.s.ses.
It was already late winter in Baiyun City. Ji Haoyu was wearing a suit jacket and a black coat. His short hair had some fine patterns, making him look a little cold today.
After locking the car, Ji Haoyu strode towards the inpatient department.
!!The old man had revived from the dead and had just woken up a few days ago. The news of his death had long spread. Even if Ji Haoyu clarified it in front of the reporters later, only a few people believed it.
Fortunately, the old man was already awake, so those unnecessary rumors were naturally resolved.
At this moment, a faint voice came from the VIP ward.
“Old Master, take care of your body the most at your age. If anything happens to your body in the future, you can’t ignore it.”
The person who spoke was none other than w.a.n.g Yunmei, who had specially come to visit Old Master Ji when she had time.
The old man leaned against the bed. His body was still a little weak, but he looked good. Hearing this, he smiled weakly. “I’ve lived for decades, and I haven’t been idle. Many illnesses acc.u.mulate over the years.”
When w.a.n.g Yunmei heard this, she couldn’t help but sigh. “My father is about your age, but he rarely falls ill. Old Master, you have to be more careful. Sometimes, these old age illnesses are the most dangerous.”
“You’re right…” The old man smiled and nodded. He looked like he had a good mentality.
At this moment, Ji Haoyu pushed the door open and entered.
“Auntie Mei?”
Seeing w.a.n.g Yunmei in the ward, Ji Haoyu couldn’t help but be surprised. Then, he said, “Why are you here?”
This private hospital was in the suburbs, far from the city. It would take more than an hour to drive back and forth.
“Haoyu is here.” Seeing this, w.a.n.g Yunmei stood up and said, “I was thinking about Old Master Ji and always wanted to find time to come and see him. I happened to be free today, so I rushed over.”
When w.a.n.g Yunmei was hospitalized for liver cancer, Old Master Ji visited her a few times. w.a.n.g Yunmei always remembered this in her heart. Now that such a big thing happened to the old man, she naturally had to come.
“Your Auntie Mei suddenly came. I was shocked too,” the old man answered. “It’s not convenient to come from the city. Don’t torment yourself next time.”
“No. The taxi driver knew it was here when he heard it,” w.a.n.g Yunmei said.
Ji Haoyu casually took off his coat. The temperature in the room made his body heat up. He walked to the bed and said, “It’s easy to come, but it’s troublesome to go back. Taking a taxi in the suburbs depends on luck. It’s even harder in the winter.”
“Haoyu is right.” The old man looked at w.a.n.g Yunmei and said, “Let Haoyu send you back to the city later.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei was about to refuse when she heard Ji Haoyu say, “Coincidentally, I still have to go back to the company later.”
Only then did w.a.n.g Yunmei nod.
“Grandpa, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Ji Haoyu immediately sat on the chair by the bed and asked the old man.
The old man tried his best to smile naturally. When he heard this, he shook his head. “I’m fine, but I don’t have much strength in my body. However, the doctor said that it’s because nutrients were injected on me during my coma and I ate nothing. I’ll be fine in a few days.”
Ji Haoyu was slightly relieved when he heard this, but he did not forget to remind him, “If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell me.”
“I know, I know.” The old man understood what Ji Haoyu meant. He was afraid that something would happen if he tried to put up a strong front.
Just like this acute heart attack, it had hurt a few times before, but he did not take it seriously. In the end, he almost lost his life.
To be precise, it had already taken his life, which was why everyone was so nervous.
“I’m just lying here feeling uncomfortable. I don’t know when I can go home,” the old man said.
When Ji Haoyu heard this, he looked at the old man and said as if he was talking to a child, “Don’t think about being discharged yet. Before your physical indicators return to normal, you can’t go anywhere.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei smiled when she heard that, but she chimed in, “Haoyu is right, Old Master. The most important thing now is to recover. When you recover, you can naturally be discharged.”
The old man was just complaining casually. Naturally, he did not really want to be discharged immediately. He immediately nodded. “I know.”
At this moment, w.a.n.g Yunmei took the warm water bottle from the bed and stood up. “I’ll get some hot water.”
“Sorry to trouble you, Auntie Mei,” Ji Haoyu quickly said.
w.a.n.g Yunmei smiled and left the ward.
After w.a.n.g Yunmei left, the old man couldn’t help but look at Ji Haoyu and say, “I’ve heard from your second uncle what happened that night. Is it as evil as he said?”
When the old man suddenly mentioned what had happened that night, Ji Haoyu was slightly stunned.
After being silent for a few seconds, Ji Haoyu took a deep breath and nodded. “Things looked a little strange. Grandpa, you weren’t breathing at that time.”
“I heard he’s Xiao Ai’s friend?” the old man asked.
Ji Haoyu nodded without hiding anything. However, he said, “Grandpa, I think we shouldn’t pursue this matter. Xiao Ai has her own secrets. If she doesn’t want to say it, I won’t ask.”
The old man naturally understood what Ji Haoyu meant, but no one could help but be curious about such a surprising thing.
Because this was not as simple as treating illnesses and saving people. He heard from his second brother that when he was saved that night, there were twenty-nine candles by the bed and ashes left behind by burning paper.
This made everything suspenseful, as if it summoned a soul.
However, on second thought, Ji Haoyu was right. If not necessary, Xiao Ai would not have asked her friend to help with such a mysterious and powerful power because once word got out, it would cause a huge commotion.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already instructed the family not to tell anyone about what happened that night,” the old man said.
Ji Haoyu was not worried because he felt the people present that night would not dare to say it even if they wanted to because everything was too strange.
“How’s your progress with Xiao Ai?” The old man suddenly asked about their relations.h.i.+p.
Ji Haoyu was stunned when he heard this. He blinked at the old man inexplicably.
Other than Yuan Ye and Qiu Jiahao, no one else knew that he was pursuing Xiao Ai.
Seeing Ji Haoyu’s expression, the old man couldn’t help but laugh. “You grew up by my side. Do you think I don’t know you? If you didn’t like Xiao Ai, you wouldn’t have done so many things.”
Ji Haoyu’s handsome face turned red. Was it already so obvious?
