If it’s something that makes him so anxious, it must be a big deal. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ji Anning didn’t ask much, but it was so late, she felt a bit uneasy, "It takes more than an hour to get there, right? Are you driving yourself?"

She knew where that construction site was, it was out of town, and it would take more than an hour, even at night without traffic.

Ji Chicheng knew she was worried, reached out to pat her head, and gave her a reassuring look, "Go to sleep."

Then he grabbed his coat from the sofa and hurried out.

"I know, drive safely."

Ji Anning saw Ji Chicheng off, and only when his tall figure disappeared from view did she retract her worried gaze.

Turning around to look at the large hospital room, it suddenly seemed empty, making her heart restless and uneasy.

This late, what exactly happened at the construction site?

How could she fall asleep?

Ji Anning frowned, anxiously walked to the bedside, surveyed the sleeping little girl, bent over, extended her hand, and tucked in her blanket.

Then picked up her phone, walked to the sofa, and sat down.

’Some time ago, the Fuxing Project, a collaborative venture between J.C and Hairui for an integrated shopping and entertainment experience, officially launched on the 15th of last month. The project is currently in the foundation stage. Today, Xin Hailong, chairman of Hairui Group, personally visited the project site for supervision and inspection. However, during the inspection, he had a verbal dispute with several construction workers, which escalated into physical altercation. Consequently, all involved were taken to the police station. One of the workers, who was seriously injured, was taken to the hospital for treatment and was declared dead by the doctor around eight in the evening.’

’According to the preliminary diagnosis, the doctor suggested that the worker might have sustained a brain injury during the fight, causing slow rupture of the blood vessels in the brain. Since this is a joint project between J.C and Hairui, it has attracted wide attention, and a large number of reporters have already gathered at the project site to learn about the situation.’

Someone died!

As soon as Ji Anning opened her phone, she came across the news about the Fuxing Project. She was shocked and hesitated for a moment, then quickly dialed Ji Chicheng’s number.

She was met with a busy signal.

He must be very busy at this moment; it’s better not to disturb him.

Ji Anning did not continue to call Ji Chicheng’s number, instead reread the news.

The phone suddenly rang, and she glanced at the caller ID; it was a number from Hai City, but not one stored in her Phone Book.

She hesitated for a moment, then answered and held it to her ear, "Hello."

"It’s me."

A familiar woman’s voice came from the receiver.

"Aunt?"

It was Ji Mingyue. Ji Anning was a bit surprised. What was Aunt calling her for so late?

Ji Mingyue said, "Fenfen is having surgery tomorrow. Make sure she goes to bed early."

Calling so late just to tell her to go to bed, did she also know about the incident at the construction site and was worried she’d be concerned, hence the call?

Ji Anning thought for a moment and asked, "Aunt, did you see the news about the construction site? Do you know what happened?"

"It seems Xin Hailong accidentally injured someone. We’re not sure yet, but it shouldn’t be related to J.C. Chicheng went to handle it. You should go to sleep."

Hearing what Ji Mingyue said, Ji Anning felt much relieved. She nodded, "I understand, Aunt. You should get some rest too."

"I’ll be at the hospital with Mrs. Wu tomorrow morning."

Ji Mingyue added another sentence, and before Ji Anning could reply, she had already hung up.
