Chapter 722 - 732 Awakening (1)
Although there isn’t any conclusive evidence, the aim doesn’t seem to be mainly directed at him.But why is the other party doing this?
And why target Qiao Mo?
"If that’s the case, it seems we need to pay more attention to Little Sister Qiao’s safety. Although Yang Peiyun and her daughter shouldn’t pose a threat to Xiao Mo for now, we still haven’t figured out the mastermind’s purpose, so we must be cautious." Yan Jiu said seriously.
Fu Nancheng nodded and said, "I had Shi Liu lead a team to protect her in secret some time ago."
Shi Liu and Shi Wu are actually twin brothers, always being Fu Nancheng’s right-hand men. However, most people only know about Shi Wu’s existence and are unaware of Shi Liu.
With one brother visible and the other hidden, this arrangement often reduces others’ guard and even leaves a way out.
As for the skill of killing, Shi Liu actually has the edge, with capabilities and methods that surpass his brother Shi Wu’s in some respects.
So no one is more suitable to stay by Qiao Mo’s side for protection.
The three chatted a little more, then went over all their deductions again to check for any omissions.
Nearing 2 AM, Fu Nancheng looked at his watch and said softly, "I’m heading back. She hasn’t been sleeping well recently."
The two waved him goodbye, and each went their separate ways.
...
As dawn approached, Qiao Mo opened her slightly groggy eyes.
After checking the time, she closed her eyes, intending to continue sleeping, but suddenly realized she seemed to be leaning into a warm embrace.
Turning around, she almost bumped into his chin.
Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment, why was he here?
Didn’t he leave?
Noticing her gaze, he opened his eyes and said softly, "Awake?"
"Didn’t you... didn’t you leave?"
"Where to?"
Qiao Mo was puzzled by his counter-question. Was it her illusion? Or had she been dreaming?
How did she remember him leaving...
"It’s only six o’clock, sleep a bit more." Fu Nancheng glanced at the time, his eyes red with fatigue.
Qiao Mo murmured a response but didn’t speak further.
Was it really a dream?
In her drowsiness, Qiao Mo fell asleep again. Luckily, she had gone to bed early yesterday, so she woke up again before eight.
This time, he had already left, leaving her unsure of what was reality and what was a dream.
Fortunately, when she asked Nanny Wang during breakfast, she confirmed that he had breakfast at home before leaving.
Over several days, their relationship warmed up significantly.
Though he was still very busy, he fortunately often talked with her when he came back, and even when she was asleep, he would kiss her cheek and touch her belly.
...
Three days later, Fu Nancheng had just finished a meeting.
He received a call from Qin Zhaoran.
"Qiao Dehou has woken up."
Fu Nancheng was slightly stunned, his eyes showing a trace of delight: "Don’t disclose the news yet, I’m on my way."
With that, he drove to the hospital.
Due to Qin Zhaoran’s intervention, Qiao Dehou was placed in a secretive high-grade ward, guarded by security and the bodyguards sent by Fu Nancheng, to prevent any further mishaps during this period.
Fu Nancheng took an emergency backup elevator to the top floor, hurrying to the ward.
Pushing open the door, he saw a chubby middle-aged man dressed in blue and white hospital attire, leaning against the headboard, absentmindedly rotating two walnuts obtained from who knows where.
Upon seeing Fu Nancheng, the man furrowed his brow: "You came even quicker than I expected."
After closing the door, Fu Nancheng got straight to the point: "You knew I would come?"
