Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 368 Miss Jiang Cried Secretly

Gao Zhu dared not hide the truth: "It's Madam Lou."

Lou Qi's expression grew even colder. He didn't even need to ask why he hadn't seen his mother, who had come to the hospital and hit his woman, now.

Because he understands the woman who gave birth to him and raised him well enough.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lou. It's my fault for not protecting Miss Jiang properly." Assistant Gao bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Lou Qi didn't continue the topic, but asked, "How did it go?"

The question seemed abrupt, but Takasuke understood it.

"The other car was driven by Ying Kaian. His car was not crashworthy, so his injuries were much more serious than yours, and he is still in a coma. I found out that he had been stalking Ms. Jiang from time to time a few days ago, so this incident was probably intentional."

It's very likely that Jiang Xing's attendance at the banquet with Lou Qi today provoked Ying Kaian.

Gao Zhu continued, "The police have already collected evidence, but we'll need to wait until Ying Kaian wakes up before we can get any further updates."

"Just unconscious?" Lou Qi asked in a cold tone.

“His parents passed away early, and the hospital was unable to contact his immediate family. I am currently paying for his medical expenses. The hospital consulted me about the options, and since his right hand was severely injured and would require a lot of money and effort to recover, I made the decision to amputate it. In addition, his left cheek was stabbed and required twelve stitches.”

Not only was she disabled, but she was also disfigured.

Lou Qi remained noncommittal, but was quite satisfied with Gao Zhu's approach.

He said, "The police probably won't be able to find direct evidence to convict him. If he survives, keep a close eye on him."

"clear."

Once he calmed down, Lou Qi recalled the scene he had seen before he lost consciousness. His mind was filled with the image of Jiang Xing looking at him with tears in her eyes, filled with disbelief, stubbornness, and many other complex emotions.

"She..." Lou Qi suddenly spoke, asking Gao Zhu, "Has she been this calm all along?"

His tone was hesitant, making it unclear whether he was more expectant or more afraid—afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.

calm?

Gao Zhu was puzzled for a moment, then remembered that the Jiang Xing that President Lou saw after waking up was indeed calm.

Even at the very beginning of the car accident, when Jiang Xing called him, he was very calm. He immediately called an ambulance and then called him to arrange the best medical team, explaining that the person who was hit was Ying Kaian.

The entire process was handled in a model manner from beginning to end.

However, Assistant Gao shook his head: "When Ms. Jiang called me, her voice was trembling. She stayed up all night watching over you. I told her to go and rest, but she seemed not to hear me. Also, a nurse told me that after you finished your surgery last night, she heard Ms. Jiang secretly crying in the bathroom."

"Crying secretly?" Lou Qi's heart felt like it had been squeezed by something, a painful and sour feeling.

Was she crying because she was frightened, guilty, or... worried about him?

Why cry in secret? Doesn't she want people to know she's crying for him? Does she feel ashamed?

Why do I act so coldly in front of him, as if I don't care about him at all?

Gao Zhu rolled his eyes, finding the scene quite unusual. He used to find it annoying when his boss told him about a girlfriend crying and wailing for him.

Now, the boss's expression changes eight hundred times in a minute! His emotions are more abundant than ever before!

"Talking about work?" Jiang Xing pushed open the door and saw two people facing each other seriously.

She glared at Gao Zhu, annoyed. "What job is more important than your boss's life?"

Takasuke answered honestly, "...It's probably your fate?"
