Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 688 - 668: The Person in the Intensive Care Unit
Jiayi patted Little Baozi’s head, comforting him, "Mmm, daddy has something to do, but after he’s finished, he will come and join us."
"It must be something very important, right? Otherwise, daddy wouldn’t leave at this time," Zaizai guessed.
His words made Jiayi increasingly uneasy.
She was fully aware of how much he valued their honeymoon trip.
Not many things could have stopped him from going on their honeymoon.
Moved by a sudden determination, Jiayi called out to the driver in front, "Stop, turn back."
The driver hit the brakes, "Young Madam, go back where...?"
"Back to the villa area," Jiayi always felt her heart hanging.
Sometimes, a woman’s sixth sense is even sharper than radar.
The driver dared not go against her wish and turned around.
They didn’t drive long, hardly two minutes, before they were back outside the Desheng Villa Area.
As the driver was about to enter through the smart security system gate, Jiayi saw a familiar car coming out and speeding away from the Disheng Villa, against the traffic on the road. She blurted out instinctively, "Never mind going in, follow that car!"
The driver also noticed the young master’s car had just left the villa area, surprised, "Young Madam...?"
Jiayi urged him, "Quickly."
Seeing her insistence, the driver had no choice but to comply and stepped on the accelerator to catch up.
Ahead, Huo Zhenyang’s car turned left at the crossroad.
If he was going to the city hall, he should have gone straight.
That was not the direction to the city hall.
Jiayi’s heart beat even more intensely.
After following for about twenty minutes, they were getting further from the city center, approaching the port area near the sea in Yunling City.
At last, the car ahead stopped in front of a hospital.
As per Jiayi’s instruction, the driver stopped as well, about twenty to thirty meters away.
Jiayi saw Huo Zhenyang getting out of the car, heading straight into the hospital.
Why come to a hospital in the suburban area?
Jiayi’s eyelids twitched.
Was he here to see someone?
Who was staying in the hospital?
Feeling like she had a rabbit in her chest, she unfastened her seat belt, told Zaizai to stay with the driver, and got out of the car.
Following his silhouette and steps, she walked straight into the hospital.
The port district was adjacent to the bay in Yunling City and was quite remote, and the hospital looked old and run-down, with not many people around.
Early in the morning, there were only a few doctors and patients to be seen, just two or three guides lazily chatting at the reception.
Trailing behind him, she reached the hospital’s residential building and then climbed to the third floor.
Around the corner of the wall, she saw Huo Zhenyang stop in front of a door to a room.
It was an intensive care unit.
A man dressed in black, who seemed to have been standing guard outside the ICU door all along, spotted Huo Zhenyang approaching and came forward, whispering in a low voice, "Boss."
Jiayi recognized him; he was an attendant of the Huo Family.
"Is he inside?" Huo Zhenyang’s gaze was fixed on the closed door of the ICU as his voice carried over.
He? Jiayi’s palms started to sweat.
"Yes, according to the hospital, he’s been here for over half a month, still hasn’t woken up, and hasn’t passed the critical phase yet."
"What happened?"
"Gunshot wound to the chest, plus prolonged submersion in the sea. He’s lucky to be alive; a fishing boat from the nearby port area rescued him and brought him to the hospital, sparing him from death."
...
The inpatient department was even quieter than the hospital lobby.
In the corridor, the conversation between two people was crystal clear, each word distinct as it traveled through the air.
Jiayi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat from behind, yet her palms turned cold.
Were they talking about...
Just then, the low voice of the attendant came through again, "I searched all the personal items he had with him when he was admitted to the hospital and didn’t find any evidence against the Boss."
Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat!
She could now confirm who was lying in the ICU at that moment.
Huo Zhenyang pondered for a moment before saying, "Did you find out who did it?"
"We checked the CCTV footage at the entrance of the apartment he used to live in. On the night he disappeared, he walked out of the residential area alone in the early hours and got into an SUV. We suspect... it was someone from the United Nations ISM Organization. His superior must have been to China, and it’s possible that he had a fallout and internal conflict with the organization, leading to him being dealt with by his superiors..."
"Internal enforcement," Huo Zhenyang uttered coldly, finishing the sentence his subordinate didn’t say.
Although the United Nations ISM is similar to an international police agency, due to its secretive nature that can’t bear the light, it also adopts the method of private execution when dealing with members who betray the organization.
...
In the corner of the wall, Jiayi trembled violently. It was Brother Yixiao—
The person lying in the ICU, whose life and death were uncertain, was indeed Nie Yixiao!
No wonder Brother Yixiao hadn’t been seen for so long; he had indeed run into trouble.
No wonder the Huo Family had turned Yunling City upside down for more than half a month without finding Nie Yixiao’s whereabouts.
Who would have thought to look for the missing man in such a remote hospital, lying unconscious?
Why would Brother Yixiao suddenly have a falling out with the organization for no reason?
Could it be because he refused to hand over the evidence and thus incurred the wrath of his superiors?
That was the only possibility; otherwise, she couldn’t understand why Brother Yixiao would end up like this...
Brother Yixiao, to keep his promise to her, did not hand over the evidence that night and had a fallout with the organization.
Therefore, she was indirectly responsible for Brother Yixiao’s plight.
Her body temperature plummeted, her palms were ice-cold, and her body shook violently. She raised her hand to support herself against the wall so she wouldn’t fall over.
The slight noise alerted the attendant at the ICU door, who quickly looked over, alert, "Who’s there!"
However, Huo Zhenyang seemed unsurprised, his hands casually in his pockets, his eyes gleaming with a knife-like cold light.
The attendant strode toward the source of the noise and saw a familiar face, shocked, "Huo... Mrs. Huo...?"
After speaking, he turned back to the Boss, "Boss..."
"You go down first," Huo Zhenyang said with an icy voice.
The attendant, seeming to realize that Mrs. Huo had been there for a while according to the Boss’s reaction, silently left.
Jiayi slowly walked away from the corner, suppressing the surge in her heart. She stood in front of the man with a pale face, a bit guiltily, "...you knew I was following you?"
"George’s car. Do you think your tailing skills can outperform his?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
He turned his body to look at her, a flash of icy sharpness in his gaze.
Not long after leaving the Disheng Villa Area, he had noticed this little woman tailing his car.
He really had spoiled this little woman; she completely forgot the scare she got last time she secretly followed him and Ya Chen for a private meeting.
In fact, if George wanted to shake off this little woman, it would be a piece of cake.
Yet, he let George continue driving to the destination, pretending to be unaware and allowing her to follow.
If she followed him all this way, it indicated she already guessed he might be going to see Nie Yixiao.
If she was so desperate to know, even if he shook her off, she would still try by all means to pursue the matter relentlessly.
Instead of that, better to let her know, to prevent it from becoming a thorn in her heart.
Jiayi bit her lip, "Is it really Brother Yixiao in the ward?"
