Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2378: Chapter 2378: Dad, Wake Up

Only she was willing to help Nangong Yi convey messages, right?

Unexpectedly, there was a traitor among them.

”She did it. Our residence was exposed, so we moved here,” Ruan Tianling said.

Jian Yufei was a bit annoyed, ”I should have suspected that maid earlier.”

Ruan Tianling smiled faintly, ”It’s okay, let him escape if he already has.”

”But once he returns, he’ll reveal that we kidnapped him, the Nangong Family won’t spare us.”

”Then they’ll have to be capable of dealing with us! Even Nangong Xu couldn’t do anything to me, let alone them,” Ruan Tianling said disdainfully.

”You captured Nangong Yi to deal with Nangong Wenchang, didn’t you? Now that he’s escaped, it’ll be even harder to catch him in the future.”

Ruan Tianling smiled happily, ”Nangong Wenchang is already dead.”

”What?!” Jian Yufei exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock.

”Yesterday, I led a team on an ambush and took him out.”

Ruan Tianling spoke casually, but Jian Yufei took a while to process it.

”Really dead?”

”Yes. I’ve avenged my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and once we save mother-in-law, we’ll leave here.”

Jian Yufei frowned, deeply worried, ”Nangong Yi knows we wanted to kill his grandfather, now that his grandfather is dead, he’ll surely know it was us. As soon as he speaks out, the entire Nangong Family will become our enemies. Although we can handle them, it will bring endless trouble!”

”But it’s all just his word, without evidence, they don’t dare to assume it was me.”

Jian Yufei was speechless, ”Does this still need evidence?”

Ruan Tianling chuckled, ”Of course it needs evidence, I am not easy to mess with, there’s no need for them to provoke me. Besides, everyone is fighting for the position of Family Head now, who would be willing to step up as the cannon fodder?”

Cannon fodder...

Seeing his unbothered demeanor, Jian Yufei felt much more at ease.

”Since you say it’s no problem, then it should be fine.”

”With me here, it’s never a problem.”

Jian Yufei smiled, suddenly recalling something else.

”What about dad, has he woken up?”

Ruan Tianling’s smile faded, ”Not yet.”

”Why hasn’t he woken up?” Jian Yufei could no longer remain calm.

”I have to go see him!”

...

Xiao Zexin had been in a deep sleep, unresponsive to any calls.

The doctor examined him repeatedly, yet found nothing.

Jian Yufei held her father’s hand, ”Dad, wake up, can you hear my voice? Wake up...”

Xiao Zexin showed no reaction, as if he had become a vegetative state.

”How could dad be like this? He was fine, how could he fall asleep and just not wake up?” Jian Yufei asked Ruan Tianling, deeply distressed.

The man pulled her close, lightly embracing her, ”Don’t worry, we’ll take father-in-law to the hospital for a check-up.”

Jian Yufei nodded, ”Let’s go right away!”

...

They took Xiao Zexin to the best hospital for an examination.

After a day of analysis, the hospital’s experts finally discovered the cause.

In the doctor’s office.

Ruan Tianling and Jian Yufei sat across from the doctor.

”The patient seems to have self-isolated his consciousness, it’s his own unwillingness to wake up,” the elderly doctor said slowly.

Ruan Tianling frowned, ”Why?”

Jian Yufei couldn’t understand their discussion, yet seeing Ruan Tianling’s expression, she knew her father’s condition wasn’t good.

”Not many can seal off their consciousness like this because they lack the willpower. This patient possesses strong subconsciousness, likely forcing himself into slumber to escape something.”
