The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 713: Chapter 714: Shen Zhenhua Gets into a Car Accident

That night, Shen Zhenhua got drunk yet again. After his friends had left, Shen Zhenhua braved the cold wind and hailed a taxi, when he suddenly saw a blinding light speeding towards him.

In his drunken state, Shen Zhenhua barely reacted, merely raising his hand to shield the glaring light. But in the next second, Shen Zhenhua found himself being hurled into the air, hit by a car coming rapidly from the opposite direction without a license plate, flung over ten meters away. In the end, Shen Zhenhua vaguely remembered that the car that hit him swiftly drove away.

Late at night, Tang Qiulu, who was sleeping, received a call—Shen Zhenhua had been in a car accident and was now in the emergency room. This news struck Tang Qiulu like a bolt of lightning; with Su Changfeng not around, Shen Zhenhua was the only person she could consider her family. If anything happened to Shen Zhenhua, Tang Qiulu wouldn’t know how to face it.

In the middle of the night, accompanied by Liu Lili, Tang Qiulu went to the hospital.

Upon receiving the news, Zhu Lie and Feng Bin also hurried to the hospital.

Even though they didn’t care whether Shen Zhenhua lived or died, Tang Qiulu being at the hospital at this time meant they had to take it seriously. If any tricky issues arose, they could assist wherever needed.

Of course, Zhu Lie’s main concern was Tang Qiulu. Shen Zhenhua’s life didn’t impact theirs. Don’t catch a cold.

The group stayed outside the emergency room, waiting until dawn.

“Sister-in-law, why don’t you go back first? With us here watching, and considering your special condition now, you mustn’t tire yourself out,” Zhu Lie said to Tang Qiulu, not wanting to see her continue staying awake, as it was unsuitable for a pregnant woman.

Tang Qiulu shook her head and refused. With the current situation, she couldn’t rest easily. The person in emergency care was her biological father.

“Brother Lie, as his daughter, how could I leave now?” Tang Qiulu said.

These words left Zhu Lie momentarily unable to refute.

As a child, it was inappropriate for Tang Qiulu to leave in this situation, and he had no reasonable excuse to persuade her.

“How about I arrange a room for you at the hospital? You’ve been here for so long; go rest in the room, so you don’t overexert yourself. I’ll stay here, and if there’s any news, I’ll notify you immediately,” Zhu Lie said.

Tang Qiulu still shook her head, making Zhu Lie a bit anxious.

“You’re not alone now; you have a baby inside your belly. If something were to happen to you, then what?” Zhu Lie said.

Then Liu Lili also advised, “Yes, staying here won’t help in any way. Go rest in the room. If not for yourself, at least consider the child.”

“Exactly, with Chang Feng not in Jiang City now, if something happens to you, how can I face him when he returns?” Zhu Lie said.

Tang Qiulu touched her belly, knowing it held Su Changfeng’s child. She shouldn’t let her stubbornness harm the child.

“Alright,” Tang Qiulu finally relented.

Only then did Zhu Lie sigh in relief, immediately arranging a room for Tang Qiulu.

After Tang Qiulu went to the room to rest, Zhu Lie rushed to Feng Bin outside the emergency room and asked, “How’s the situation? Did you find anything?”

“Take a look at this,” Feng Bin said, taking out his phone and playing a video.

The video showed the entire process of Shen Zhenhua being hit. Although a bit blurry, the sequence was still clear: from the trajectory, it seemed the driver was targeting Shen Zhenhua from the beginning. And the car didn’t have a license plate, clearly pre-meditated.

“Who wants him dead?” Zhu Lie asked, puzzled.

“The police are investigating now, but they haven’t found the car yet. Since the person planned it beforehand, it might be hard to find it,” Feng Bin said.

Zhu Lie nodded; he knew this even without Feng Bin telling him. The person had planned it all; it wouldn’t be easy to discover. And as soon as the car is burned, all evidence will disappear, making it even harder to find the true culprit.

“Is there any other way to see what the driver looks like?” Zhu Lie asked.

“The person was wearing a hat and mask; we can’t see their face,” Feng Bin said.

Zhu Lie let out a long sigh and said, “Investigate who Shen Zhenhua has had conflicts with recently. Leave no suspects unchecked.”

“Yes,” Feng Bin rushed off after receiving the order.

Zhu Lie, staring at the emergency room’s red lights, said coldly, “Your target better be Shen Zhenhua. If you dare harbor any ill intentions toward Tang Qiulu, I’ll turn Jiang City upside down to find you, making you wish you were dead!”

By noon, Shen Zhenhua was finally moved out of the emergency room but directly transferred to the ICU. Tang Qiulu didn’t even get a chance to see him.

But the situation was particularly bleak; the condition could deteriorate at any moment. Even if treatment is somewhat effective in the future, Shen Zhenhua might spend the rest of his life bedridden.

For Tang Qiulu, this news exploded like a thunderclap in her mind. Just yesterday, she had said a few words to Shen Zhenhua, and now it happened for real.

At this moment, Tang Qiulu’s phone suddenly rang, its number unmarked, clearly unfamiliar.

Upon seeing this, the name Sun Mei immediately popped into Tang Qiulu’s mind because previously, Sun Mei had used many different numbers to contact her, hoping Tang Qiulu would take her back and let her live in the Mountain Villa again.

At the time, whenever Tang Qiulu saw an unmarked number calling, she’d hang up without a thought. But this time, Tang Qiulu answered.

“Qiulu, I heard from my friend that your dad was in a car accident. How’s the situation? How’s he?” Sun Mei’s anxious voice came through the phone.

Tang Qiulu sighed helplessly and replied, “My dad’s situation isn’t optimistic; he’s under observation in the ICU now.”

“Why is it like this? Why did it happen?” Sun Mei cried, saying, “If my friend hadn’t told me, I still wouldn’t know about it. Where are you now? I want to see him.”

“The city’s first people’s hospital,” Tang Qiulu said.

“I’ll head over now,” Sun Mei said, then hung up the phone.
