Chapter 914: Chapter 145: Rong Sinan, Can You Stop Making Trouble? (1) [First Update]

"Why?" Tang Yige didn’t understand.

"Miss Tang, according to what you said, Tang Ruan is your biological sister. You called the police saying that when you were seven months pregnant, she forcibly performed a C-section on you and stole your baby. We still have to wait until Tang Ruan wakes up to question and investigate this. Also, Tang Ruan is covered in injuries, and the wounds are clearly man-made. So... Miss Tang, you must cooperate with our work." the policewoman said.

Tang Yige frowned. "Officer, you don’t think I beat her up, do you?"

The policewoman smiled. "Miss Tang, no need to be nervous. Once Tang Ruan wakes up, everything will become clear."

Tang Yige, "..."

Now even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash her clean!

So, Tang Yige had no choice but to wait in Tang Ruan’s ward with the two plainclothes officers.

She was thinking, if Tang Ruan didn’t wake up for a few days, was she supposed to stay in the hospital the whole time?

Tang Yige bit her lip lightly, looked at one of the policewomen, and said, "Can I make a phone call home? I’m afraid they’ll worry."

"Of course." the policewoman said.

Tang Yige took out her phone, walked out of the ward, stood in the hospital corridor, and dialed the landline at home.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

A soft, crisp little voice came through the phone’s electric waves.

Tang Yige couldn’t help but smile. "It’s me, Little Rui."

"...Little Gege?"

"Mm. So, Little Rui, something came up. I probably can’t come back today." As soon as she said it, Tang Yige herself frowned.

"Why?" Rong Rui was very surprised.

"...There’s something urgent I need to deal with." Tang Yige said.

"You can’t deal with it after you come back?" Rong Rui hummed softly.

"Mm." Tang Yige bit her lower lip and answered.

"...Then can you come back tomorrow... Ah, my phone, Little Gege..."

Tang Yige’s brows tightened. "Little Rui..."

"It’s me."

Si Nan’s voice was slightly low.

Tang Yige, "..."

"Did something happen?" Si Nan asked.

"...No."

"Liar!"

"..."

Tang Yige pressed her lips together and said, "Little Rui is in your care today."

"Where are you?" Si Nan asked.

"...Don’t worry about it." Tang Yige said softly.

"Don’t you dare hang up!"

The movement of Tang Yige’s hand about to take the phone away from her ear paused, and three dark lines practically slid down her forehead.

Did this man have clairvoyance or what? He could even guess this.

"Where are you?" Si Nan asked again.

Tang Yige pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "The hospital."

As soon as she finished, she heard the breathing on the other end sink. Her eyelashes lowered as she said, "I’m hanging up."

"Tang Yige!" Si Nan low-roared. His tone was stern, but the worry and urgency in it were obvious.

Tang Yige’s brow tips trembled. "What?"

"Which hospital?" Si Nan didn’t ask more, he went straight to the point.

"Why do you want to know?" Tang Yige lowered her eyes.

"Say it, now!"

"...Linxi." Tang Yige’s face twitched as she spoke.

"I’ll be right there!"

"Don’t—"

Tap tap tap...

The call had already been hung up.

Tang Yige, "..."

...

Less than half an hour after that call, Si Nan called again, asking for her exact location in the hospital.

Knowing he’d come, Tang Yige didn’t keep hiding it and told him the ward number.

After taking Si Nan’s call, Tang Yige went to wait outside the ward.

In no time, a tall, slender figure came out of the elevator, walking in quick strides.

Tang Yige’s heart gave a little thump as she looked at him.

Si Nan walked up, grabbed both of her arms in one go, brows knitted tight, and looked her over from head to toe.

In the end, seemingly finding no injuries on her, his moist eyes still shrouded with tension, he stared at her. "Where do you feel unwell?"

Tang Yige’s eyelashes fluttered rapidly. She reached out and brushed at the hands gripping her arms.

Of course, she didn’t manage to push them away.

Tang Yige’s mouth twitched; she lowered her voice and said, "It wasn’t me."

Si Nan was still staring fixedly at Tang Yige.

Tang Yige pressed her lips together, wanting to say it was Tang Ruan, but at the moment she opened her mouth, she suddenly didn’t want to bring up that name in front of him.

"Miss Tang."

The ward door behind them opened, and a female officer in plain clothes came out. She glanced doubtfully at Si Nan, then looked at Tang Yige. "And this is?"

Tang Yige hurriedly pulled free of Si Nan’s hands, turned sideways to face the female officer, the tips of her ears a little red. "He’s my friend."

The female officer nodded, said nothing more, but didn’t go back into the ward either.

Tang Yige knew the officer still had some reservations about her, but she didn’t think much of it. She looked at Si Nan and said, "You should go back. I’m fine."

Si Nan took a look at that female officer.

Although she was in plain clothes, her posture was straight, standing very upright; at a glance she didn’t look like someone with an ordinary job.

Si Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yige. "Police?"

"..." Tang Yige broke out in a sweat, her eyes full of surprise.

Did this man’s eyes have to be this sharp? One look and he’d pegged her as a cop!

Seeing Tang Yige like that, Si Nan knew he’d guessed right.

His handsome face was steady, his gaze sharp as he fixed on Yige. "Still not going to tell the truth?"

Tang Yige frowned, looking at him in silence.

Si Nan’s thin lips pressed into a severe line. "If you won’t talk, do you want me to go ask myself?"

As he spoke, Si Nan glanced, seemingly inadvertently, at the plainclothes female officer standing a short distance in front of them.

Tang Yige felt black lines form on her forehead; her knitted brows held a trace of impatience. "Si Nan, can you not stick your nose into everything?"

Si Nan snapped coldly and stopped wasting words on Tang Yige, lifting his leg to head toward the plainclothes officer.

"Si Nan."

Tang Yige drew a quick breath and grabbed his sleeve, staring at him gloomily.

Si Nan turned his head, his face serious as he looked at Yige. "You’ll talk now?"

Tang Yige took a deep, restrained breath and said, "I’m not the one who’s hurt. It’s Tang Ruan!"

"Who?" Si Nan’s eyes hardened.

"..." Seeing him like this, Tang Yige’s expression gradually sank as well. "It’s Tang Ruan who was injured."

A chill seemed to pour endlessly off Si Nan. He lifted his eyelids slightly to glance at the ward behind Tang Yige and said in a cold, shadowed voice, "You’re saying Tang Ruan is in the ward behind you?"

Looking at his face, suddenly so dark and vicious, Tang Yige instinctively tightened her grip on his sleeve, a flicker of worry surfacing in her eyes. She nodded. "Mm."

Si Nan’s features were grim as he suddenly strode toward the ward.

The female officer quickly stepped to the doorway, watching Si Nan warily.

"Si Nan."

Tang Yige was dragged several steps forward by him; gritting her teeth, she took a big step and blocked his way, frowning tightly as she stared at him anxiously. "Si Nan, calm down!"

Si Nan’s eyes were bloodshot, making him look especially frightening.

Tang Yige’s heart trembled; hardening herself, she threw her arms around him.

Only when her hands slid onto his arms and back did she realize how taut his whole body was right now.

A faint ache pricked at Tang Yige’s heart. Her tone softened. "Don’t be impulsive. There’s still a police officer inside. And I’ve already told the police, one by one, all the crimes Tang Ruan committed. They told me that as long as Tang Ruan wakes up, once they’ve investigated clearly, they can convict her."

In Tang Yige’s worldview, you call the police for crimes; you seek a legal solution.

But for people like Si Nan, that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Si Nan himself was a lawyer; he knew very clearly the loopholes in the current legal system.

If he wanted to deal with Tang Ruan, going through the law was the last resort.

Just like now.

Tang Ruan could use a coma to drag out the police investigation.

She could feel Si Nan still lunging forward, the muscles in his arms growing more and more taut.

Tang Yige was genuinely afraid he’d strain too hard and literally tear the muscles in his arms.

Frowning tightly, Tang Yige said, "Brother, just listen to me this once, okay? Let’s wait a little longer. As soon as Tang Ruan wakes up, she’ll definitely get the punishment she deserves."

Si Nan ground his teeth together and lowered his eyes to glance at Tang Yige, then suddenly loosened his strength.

Tang Yige felt his weight lift off her; the breath that had been pressing on her chest eased as well. She looked at Si Nan.

But Si Nan reached out, clasped Tang Yige’s hand, and dragged her forward.

"Miss Tang."

The female officer quickly followed a couple of steps and grabbed Tang Yige’s other hand from behind.

"Let go!"

Si Nan turned back sharply, staring at the female officer.

The officer’s eyes narrowed, her face taut as she looked at Tang Yige. "Miss Tang, you can’t leave yet."

"...I know. I’m not going to run. Just give me a little time. I’ll be right back. Is that okay?" Tang Yige said.

The female officer locked eyes with Tang Yige. Perhaps feeling that Tang Yige didn’t seem like the type to play tricks, she slowly released Yige’s hand.

Then Si Nan led Yige toward the elevators, hand in hand.
