Chapter 320
Liu Jinnian's ears were ringing.
Shen Yunzhong's voice came from the phone, but it was as if it were coming through a thick layer of glass, and it was blurry and indistinct.
He mechanically hung up the phone, his fingers unconsciously gripping the phone tightly until his knuckles turned white.
"Brother Jin Nian, the Secretary-General is looking for you."
Yan Xue's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
She strode over in her high heels, but stopped abruptly when she saw Liu Jinnian's deathly pale face. "What's wrong?"
Liu Jinnian did not answer, and turned to walk towards the elevator.
"Brother Jin Nian!" Yan Xue grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"
"The hospital." Liu Jinnian shook off her hand, his voice as cold as ice.
Yan Xue's face instantly darkened, her meticulously manicured nails digging deeply into her palms: "Are you going to find Yan Lan?"
Her voice suddenly rose, "I'm your fiancée! I won't allow you to go!"
Liu Jinnian stopped and turned around. The look in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses sent a chill down Yan Xue's spine: "Our engagement is dissolved."
"You!" Yan Xue trembled with rage. "Liu Jinnian, you're so ungrateful! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today!"
"Liu Jinnian!" Yan Xue caught up in her high heels and grabbed Liu Jinnian's hand. "Aren't you afraid I'll reveal your secret?"
Liu Jinnian whirled around, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses turning icy: "Let go."
"You're nothing but Shen Yunzhong's illegitimate son, whom he can't bear to see in the light of day!" Yan Xue lowered her voice, but couldn't hide the malice in her tone. "I'll let everyone know that you—"
“Go ahead and tell them,” Liu Jinnian suddenly laughed. “Now that Qin Shi is dead and the Qin family is ruined, do you think I still care about this?”
Yan Xue's exquisite makeup contorted for a moment: "You—"
"But it's you?"
Liu Jinnian took a step closer, his voice as soft as a viper's flick, "If people knew about the corruption your father had committed over the years," he paused meaningfully, "do you think the Yan family could withstand an investigation?"
Yan Xue's fingers trembled slightly, her bright red nail polished fingertips digging into her palms: "Are you threatening me?"
"Likewise," Liu Jinnian sneered.
The lights in the corridor flickered, illuminating Yan Xue's pale face.
She suddenly realized that the man in front of her was not the loving husband she had dreamed of.
On the contrary, Qin Shi doted on Yan Lan!
What went wrong?
"You think you've won?" Yan Xue forced a cold laugh. "Qin Shi is dead. Do you think Yan Lan will forgive you? She's carrying Qin Shi's child!"
Liu Jinnian's eyes suddenly turned sinister, and the chill in his voice made Yan Xue involuntarily take a half step back. "Now, get out of the way."
Watching Liu Jinnian's resolute departing figure, Yan Xue suddenly screamed hysterically:
"Liu Jinnian! You think you can win Yan Lan over like this? She hates you! She will never forgive you!"
Liu Jinnian sneered, his suit jacket tracing a sharp arc as he turned: "Thanks for your advice, but just consider me a scumbag who kicks people away after using them."
He walked towards the elevator without looking back, leaving Yan Xue slumped on the floor, crying loudly.
In the hospital, Shen Yunzhong stood outside the intensive care unit, looking at the unconscious Madam Qin through the glass window. He slowly adjusted his cufflinks, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.
"Dad! What's going on?" Qin Shengsheng rushed over, her face full of panic.
Shen Yunzhong turned around, his face immediately contorted with grief: "Sheng Sheng, you have to hold on... your brother is gone."
Qin Shengsheng's slender body swayed violently, and she held onto the wall tightly to avoid falling.
Although the news was everywhere, hearing the news of her brother's death from her father's own ears still struck her like a thunderbolt.
"Brother...it's impossible..." She covered her mouth, tears silently rolling down her cheeks and soaking her front.
Qin Shengsheng raised her head, her red and swollen eyes staring straight at her father: "Where is my sister-in-law?" Her voice was hoarse beyond belief, yet it conveyed an unprecedented firmness.
Shen Yunzhong frowned: "In the operating room, her child... I'm afraid..."
"I'm going to see my sister-in-law." Qin Shengsheng interrupted her father, wiping away her tears decisively.
This pampered young lady, who was usually spoiled, stood up straight at this moment, and the vulnerability in her eyes was replaced by a kind of determination.
“Sheng Sheng, your mother is in a coma, Yan Lan is just an outsider,” Shen Yunzhong said with a reproachful look.
Qin Shengsheng said, enunciating each word clearly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, "My sister-in-law is the most important person to my brother, not an outsider."
Shen Yunzhong frowned, watching his daughter leave in a hurry. The daughter who always hid behind her family seemed to have grown up overnight.
Shen Yunzhong, his face grim, pulled out his phone, his finger hovering over the name "Shan Jun" in his contacts. He had to deal with the hidden danger in Yan Lan's belly as soon as possible—
"Where is Lanlan?!"
A hurried female voice interrupted his actions.
Han Yan rushed into the corridor, her bangs sticking to her face with sweat.
"Sister Han Yan!" Qin Shengsheng rushed out of the operating room and grabbed Han Yan's hand.
"The hospital has made preparations to protect the pregnancy; I'll arrange the transfer right away!"
Han Yan quickly replied.
"Ren'ai Hospital has better medical facilities; no one is allowed to take them away."
"Dad, Dongfang Hospital is where my sister-in-law's good friend works!" Qin Shengsheng's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "The doctors there know her condition better!"
Shen Yunzhong's lips twitched almost imperceptibly—almost there, just ten more minutes...
"Dad...please, my sister-in-law is carrying my brother's only child!"
Shen Yunzhong remained silent.
"Fine!" Han Yan suddenly sprang to attention, grabbing Shen Yunzhong's silk tie and pulling him back, causing him to stumble. "I see now!"
Her shrill voice pierced the noise of the hospital, "You deliberately tried to kill Lanlan and the baby in her belly!"
Startled by the sudden attack, Shen Yunzhong took two steps back and slammed his back against the wall.
His expensive custom-made suit was crumpled up.
"What are you doing!" Shen Yunzhong tried to break free, but found the woman to be incredibly strong. "Security! Pull this crazy woman away!"
"So you're trying to profit from someone else's misfortune?"
Han Yan ignored her, her fingers tightening around her tie. "Qin Shi just left, and you're already eager to harm his wife and children?"
Her voice trembled with anger.
"Don't come any closer!" Han Yan shouted sharply, increasing the pressure on her hand. Shen Yunzhong's face had turned a deep purplish-red. "If anything happens to Lanlan today, I'll make you pay with your life!"
The security guards had just rushed forward when they were so frightened by the scene that they stopped in their tracks.
Han Yan is just like a deadly female demon.
"Han Yan! Let go of my dad!"
The elevator doors opened with a "ding," and Liu Jinnian rushed out.
His eyes, behind his gold-rimmed glasses, were wide open; he clearly hadn't expected to see such a scene.
