Chapter 541 - 541: Trust Xia Wan
“I am!” Xia Wan replied with sincerity in her eyes and a firm tone that made her hard to doubt.
“Good! Then, I’ll place my trust in you!” Zhang Cheng declared solemnly. “The patient is in your hands, and I’ll find a way to secure the medicinal materials.” “Thank you,” Xia Wan expressed her gratitude genuinely.
Zhang Cheng’s face wore a soft smile, not deep but sincere. ‘My trust is not only in you. I also have faith in Chen Mo.”
Xia Wan glanced at Chen MO but remained silent.
Immediately, Chen MO stood beside Xia Wan, stating confidently, “I believe in
Xia Wan!”
“Let’s not waste time with words now! Hurry and save the person!” Lin Chao interjected impatiently, “If the person isn’t saved, I won’t forgive anyone!”
Xia Wan gazed deeply at Lin Chao, then assured him, “Rest assured, I will definitely bring him back to consciousness.”
Whether it was the conviction in Xia Wan’s voice or something else, her words magically soothed Lin Chao’s agitation.
He cleared his throat uncomfortably, “Alright, then I entrust this to you.” Lin Chao’s change of heart brought relief to everyone at the hospital.
Director Feng escorted Zhang Cheng and the others to the hospital entrance.
“Don’t worry, Director Feng, I’ll handle this matter well, ” Zhang Cheng reassured, seeing the worry on Director Feng’s face. “However, we might need to use your facilities for a few days.”
Director Feng sighed internally but responded politely, “Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Our hospital will fully cooperate with you.”
“I’m not the one who will be troubled. It’s the hospital that might need to assist that young lady effectively,” Zhang Cheng said, glancing towards Xia Wan.
Director Feng nodded in agreement, “Yes, of course. If the young lady can save the patient, we will definitely cooperate.”
Despite his words, Director Feng harbored no fondness for the troublesome Xia Wan.
Uninterested in the superficial niceties, Xia Wan gently tugged at Chen Mo’s sleeve.
Understanding Xia Wan’s sentiment, Chen MO told Zhang Cheng, “Brother Cheng, inform us once the medicinal materials are ready, and we’ll come immediately.”
“We have other matters to handle now, so we must leave.”
After bidding farewell to Director Feng, Zhang Cheng stopped Chen MO, “I’ll come with you. I have something important to discuss.”
Zhang Cheng instructed his driver to leave ahead and joined Chen MO in his car.
During the return journey, Zhang Cheng started several times to speak but hesitated.
Seeing Zhang Cheng’s reluctance in the rearview mirror, Chen MO encouraged, “Brother Cheng, feel free to speak your mind.”
“What was the real reason for seeking me out yesterday?” Zhang Cheng finally blurted out.
Chen MO glanced at Xia Wan before answering, “It wasn’t anything significant.
I just heard you were in town and thought…’
“Stop there! Don’t bother with those excuses,” Zhang Cheng cut him off.
“You’ve never sought me out without a reason!” Zhang Cheng scoffed. “Besides, my visit to the county was confidential. How did you even know I was here?”
Chen MO hesitated, then chose to be honest, “I saw a car license plate the other day, which I believe was yours.”
“My car?” Zhang Cheng was taken aback, “So you came just to reminisce?”
Chen MO glanced at Xia Wan again, “Brother Cheng, your car was seen at the location where Xia Wan’s parents disappeared. Someone witnessed her parents getting into that car.”
“My car?” Zhang Cheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
While Chen Mo’s revelation surprised Zhang Cheng, Xia Wan showed no shock.
Sensing something off with Chen MO’s demeanor earlier, Xia Wan had guessed he knew something.
Zhang Cheng was more astonished than both, “Chen MO, what are you implying? Someone saw my car taking Xia Wan’s parents? Why would they do that?”
“I’m not sure,” Chen MO replied honestly. “We haven’t received any information yet, but Xia Wan’s parents have been missing since yesterday afternoon.” This revelation silenced Zhang Cheng.
Sensing Zhang Cheng’s distress, Chen MO probed, “Brother Cheng, do you know something about this?”
“Yesterday afternoon?” Zhang Cheng asked for confirmation.
“Yes!” Chen MO affirmed.
“Okay, leave this matter to me. I will investigate and find out what’s going on, ” Zhang Cheng resolved, without further elaboration.
Xia Wan looked at Chen MO, who simply nodded gently in acknowledgment..
