Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 585 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (64)

After daybreak, Yan Zhen received a call from the traffic police, saying that Gao Shenghan had been in a car accident and had been taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Yan Zhen got up at a leisurely pace, washed up, ate breakfast, and then took his driver, Lao Zhang, to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, Gao Shenghan had just undergone surgery and was lying in the intensive care unit.

Yan Zhen learned from the doctor that Gao Shenghan had multiple fractures, bleeding in his internal organs and brain, and had undergone craniotomy to remove a piece of broken skull.

He was badly injured, with tubes inserted all over his body and bandages wrapped around him like a mummy. Even if the surgery goes smoothly, it's still uncertain whether he can survive.

Close visits are not allowed in the intensive care unit, so Yan Zhen stood in the corridor through the glass window, looking at Gao Shenghan lying on the hospital bed.

After a long while, she smiled slightly, a slight curve to her lips.

It was just a car accident; this is only the beginning.

That afternoon, news about the Yan family's son-in-law being seriously injured in a car accident made headlines.

Although Gao Shenghan was once a familiar face in the entertainment industry, he has been out of the industry for more than ten years, and he is now considered a "past" figure by both the entertainment industry and the audience.

This message only attracted the attention of a small number of people, disappearing into the vast flow of information without even making a ripple.

Perhaps it was true that "good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years," Gao Shenghan woke up after five days in the intensive care unit and was transferred to a regular ward a week later.

His various test results showed that his health was improving, but for some unknown reason, Gao Shenghan's body was sometimes stiff and numb and sometimes weak. Although his mind was clear, he even had difficulty speaking.

Despite multiple examinations, doctors were unable to determine the cause and could only conclude that the car accident had damaged his complex nervous system.

When Yan Zhen learned that Gao Shenghan had been transferred to a regular ward, she told Gao Xinyu the news when she went to pick him up from class one day.

Are you going to visit your father?

Gao Xinyu remained silent for a long time before shaking his head: "I'm not going."

As for his father, Gao Xinyu felt less hatred and more an inability to know how to face him.

When Gao Xinyu first learned that Gao Shenghan wanted to kill his mother and grandparents, and even his uncle, he felt like his world had collapsed.

At only ten years old, he cannot understand why his father would want to kill the entire Yan family, who had been so good to him, just for money.

Because of a lack of understanding, I cannot empathize with or sympathize with him, let alone forgive his actions.

Yan Zhen did not force Gao Xinyu, but told his parents about it during dinner.

After Gao Xinyu finished eating and was taken away by the nanny, Yan's father asked, "When do you plan to go through with the divorce proceedings?"

Now that Gao Shenghan has become like this, he no longer poses a threat to the Yan family.

From the perspective of Yan's parents, it's best to sever ties with this kind of person as soon as possible.

Moreover, Yan Zhen currently has a boyfriend. If she doesn't divorce Gao Shenghan, and reporters later photograph her and Xiao Yun together, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

Yan Zhen said, "There's no rush to get a divorce. I'll divorce Gao Shenghan as soon as he got into trouble. If word gets out, outsiders might think a lot about our family."

She wasn't in a hurry to divorce Gao Shenghan not because she cared about other people's opinions, but because without the marriage, how could she legitimately torment Gao Shenghan?

Now that he's in her hands, she can't just let him go so easily.

Yan's father saw through Yan Zhen's thoughts. Although he didn't quite agree with this "unnecessary" approach, he thought about the changes his daughter had made in recent days. She could now make her own decisions about both work and life, so he didn't want to interfere too much.

Yan's father cautioned, "There are many people and a lot of gossip in the hospital. Be careful in whatever you do, and don't give anyone a handle to use against you."

Yan Zhen nodded: "I understand."

In the evening, after helping Gao Xinyu with his homework, Yan Zhen received a call from Yan Jing when she returned to her room.

"Auntie, is something wrong on your end?"

"No, why do you ask?"

“Xiao Yun has a day off tomorrow. We had planned to go hiking, but he went back to Hangzhou this evening in a hurry,” Yan Jing said. “I thought something had happened to you, that’s why he was in such a rush to leave… I’m glad you’re alright.”

Has Xiao Yun returned to Hangzhou?

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhen opened WeChat. Her chat with Xiao Yun was still at noon. Xiao Yun sent her a picture of the crew's boxed lunch. There were a few pieces of chicken in the boxed lunch, which not only looked terrible, but the feathers on the chicken skin were not cleaned off.

—I want to go back to Hangzhou.

A crying face emoji was added after those four words.

Yan Zhen was busy at the time and did not reply to him.

The person who used to complain to her about all sorts of trivial things in life every day, even taking pictures and sending them to her when she saw a strangely shaped cloud or a stray cat wandering on the roadside on her way to work in the morning, is now going back to Hangzhou without telling her?

What is Xiao Yun planning to do?

Yan Zhen wasn't the type to keep her doubts to herself and let them fester inside, so she immediately called Xiao Yun.

But the phone indicated that Xiao Yun's phone was switched off.

Yan Jing said he left in the evening, and judging by the time, he's probably on a plane now.

Yan Zhen then sent a message to his assistant, Xiao Ji, asking him to check Xiao Yun's ticket purchase records.

Soon, Xiao Yun's travel information was sent to Yan Zhen's phone—his flight had landed at Hangzhou Airport an hour earlier.

I didn't tell her I was going back to Hangzhou, I turned off my phone after landing, and I haven't contacted her since...

Yan Zhen was already figuring out how to deal with Xiao Yun.

The next morning, after Yan Zhen woke up, there were several messages from Xiao Yun on her phone.

"I'm back in Hangzhou."

"Are you busy today?"

"Want to have dinner together tonight? I'll make you some soup."

The message was sent at 4:00 AM.

Yan Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "I have time. I'll come over now and pick you up to go somewhere."

Xiao Yun replied instantly: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Yan Zhen drove himself to Xiao Yun's residence to pick him up.

Upon arriving at the villa area, I could see Xiao Yun, wearing a mask, standing at the entrance of the community, eagerly waiting.

Upon seeing Yan Zhen's car, his eyes lit up, and he waved to her as if afraid she hadn't seen him.

Yan Zhen stopped beside him, and Xiao Yun immediately opened the car door and climbed into the passenger seat, staring intently at her while fastening his seatbelt: "Where are we going?"

Yan Zhen looked him up and down.

Xiao Yun looked very different today. He was wearing a layered navy blue sweatshirt on top and washed white jeans on the bottom, with a flashy silver chain adorning the pocket of the jeans.

People who used to always wear hats and masks when going out were only wearing masks today, and their hair looked casual but was actually styled carefully.

To match his hairstyle, he also wore a pair of headphones, and as he fastened his seatbelt, a uniquely styled bracelet peeked out from the cuff of his hoodie.

This youthful and vain look is a stark contrast to the dejected little mongrel I used to see; it makes me look like a Border Collie that just had a bath and grooming at the pet store.
