Chapter 1017: Something Happened!
The night was already deep.
When Jiang Feng returned home, the women in the house were all asleep.
Baili Xiyue was still sleeping on the sofa, covered with a blanket, in a deep sleep.
Jiang Feng felt helpless; this lady, whose family was more noble than anyone else's, truly intended to permanently reside here, unwilling to leave.
Didn't her family care about her?
Leaving the good life of a lady to sleep on a sofa here, who knows what she's up to.
Jiang Feng shook his head helplessly, changed his shoes and went to take a shower, then continued to sleep on the floor.
But when he came out after his shower, he inadvertently woke up Baili Xiyue.
Baili Xiyue immediately sat up from the sofa, looking at him warily. When she realized it was Jiang Feng, she slightly relaxed.
"It's you! You scared me! I thought there was a thief in the house! Why didn't you turn on the lights when you came back?" Baili Xiyue said irritably.
"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to disturb you," Jiang Feng replied calmly.
"Always sneaking around, going out early and coming back late, who knows what you're busy with!"
Baili Xiyue huffed, with a trace of displeasure and grievance in her tone. Then she threw off the blanket, revealing her smooth, pale legs and got off the sofa, walking to the bathroom half-asleep.
Jiang Feng looked at her long, alluring legs and delicate feet, shook his head even more helplessly, and lay back down on the floor, trying to ignore her.
At this moment, something even more awkward happened in the bathroom!
Baili Xiyue, being a carefree woman and perhaps startled awake halfway through her sleep, was not fully conscious... she forgot to close the door!
She sat on the toilet inside, with the sound of running water coming out, sparking one's imagination.
Jiang Feng was lying on the floor, the sound permeated through the ground, amplified, and extremely clear.
In this quiet midnight, it created a strange stimulation, making one's heart race...
Soon, Baili Xiyue finished and came out. Seeing Jiang Feng lying there with his hands behind his head, seemingly lost in thought, she immediately realized something, her beautiful face instantly turning red.
"Shameless..."
She mumbled quietly, then sheepishly returned to the sofa, pulling the blanket tightly around herself, as if afraid of suffering more losses.
Jiang Feng was speechless, it was clearly her carelessness, why blame him?
He couldn't be bothered to argue with that careless woman, turned over, and forced himself to sleep.
...
The rest of the night passed without conversation.
When dawn broke, a sliver of light appeared outside. Suddenly, there was a flurry of light footsteps from the stairs, waking Jiang Feng up.
Opening his eyes, he saw Nangong Qingcheng coming down from upstairs in a panic.
Jiang Feng immediately got up, seeing Nangong Qingcheng coming straight to him.
She first glanced at the sleeping Baili Xiyue, then anxiously whispered to Jiang Feng: "Jiang Feng, when did you come home last night?"
"Just after getting my phone, why? You were all asleep when I got home." Jiang Feng replied calmly.
"Something happened!" Nangong Qingcheng, after hearing Jiang Feng's explanation, didn't suspect him and immediately said in a deep voice.
"What happened?" Jiang Feng, knowing why Nangong Qingcheng was tense, pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"I just got a call from my mom, she said Nangong Yan and Jin Shixiang... had a car accident last night! They were taken to the Southern City Hospital, but..."
At this point, Nangong Qingcheng's eyes turned red.
She was kind-hearted by nature, and despite her numerous disputes with Nangong Yan, they were still family!
So when she heard the news of the accident, her first reaction was not glee but heartache, discomfort, and anxiety...
Jiang Feng saw the tears brimming in Nangong Qingcheng's eyes and sighed inwardly.
This was precisely why he hadn't been harsh on that unfaithful couple before, to avoid making Qingcheng sad!
If it weren't for their excessive actions last night, Jiang Feng might have continued to tolerate them, but unfortunately, they crossed the line!
"Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened to them at the hospital?"
Jiang Feng continued to feign ignorance, gently wiping away the tears from Nangong Qingcheng's eyes.
"I heard they were severely injured, and although they were taken to the hospital, it seems they... died on the spot..."
Nangong Qingcheng bit her lip and trembled as she uttered those words.
"How could they have such a sudden accident? What about the driver?" Jiang Feng asked, pretending to be concerned.
"I don't know. I heard they were driving against traffic, their car ended up in the middle of the road, and a large truck coming from the opposite direction couldn't avoid it..."
Nangong Qingcheng said sadly: "I'm not sure of the details, but all of the family is at the Southern City Hospital now. Let's hurry over to take a look!"
"Alright!"
It was still early, and none of the other women in the house were up, including Baili Xiyue who stayed asleep this time. Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng quickly got dressed and left.
...
At Southern City Hospital,
For the Nangong Family members who arrived in a hurry today, life's ups and downs came too quickly.
Just last night, they were dining with the Jin Family at a farmhouse restaurant, discussing their children's engagement.
Yet who could have imagined, the newly engaged couple had a car accident that same night, leaving the elderly to bury the young!
Although Nangong Yan and Jin Shixiang were brought to the hospital, there was no need for any rescue attempts, as they were directly transferred to the morgue.
The reason being, their bodies were so mangled, almost reduced to pulp, beyond recognition, just a heap of remains...
Nangong Yan's body had to be pieced together...
When Zhao Chunhua saw her daughter's remains, she immediately broke down, nearly fainting.
At this moment, she was in the morgue, wailing and holding her daughter's dismembered body, inconsolable.
The surrounding Nangong Family members, led by the Old Master Nangong Honghu, looked on with sorrowful expressions, their hearts in grief.
The bad news was so sudden, none of them were prepared, leaving Nangong Jinming slumped in a corner, ashen-faced, muttering incoherently, unable to accept his daughter's death...
Nangong Jinwei and Nangong Li were left to care for him nearby, trying to offer comfort amid their sorrow.
Just then, the figures of Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng finally arrived at the hospital, entering the morgue.
Zhao Chunhua, who was clutching her daughter and crying uncontrollably, suddenly turned her bloodshot eyes to Jiang Feng. Like someone unhinged, she stood up, pointing at him with fury: "Jiang Feng, it's all your fault! You're a curse! You killed my daughter, you murderer, today I'll take you down, I'll take you down!!!"
With that, she lunged at Jiang Feng like a wild beast!
