Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1014 - 1013: A Cup of Poisoned Water

In the hospital, Tangtang and Guoguo slept soundly and dreamlessly, probably the most restful sleep they had in recent days.

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains into the room, giving a hint of warmth to the usually cold hospital room.

Tangtang didn’t expect that they would be leaving today, so where should they go next?

Presumably, Guoguo already had the answer in her heart.

Before Tangtang could wake Guoguo, Xu Ke’s man stationed at the hospital heard some commotion and immediately knocked and came in.

At that moment, feeling thirsty, Tangtang was about to drink the glass of water left on the table.

Little did she know the water had been drugged the night before.

"Miss Tangtang, wait, the water in your hand may be problematic, don’t drink it until the doctor has tested it." This statement startled Tangtang, making her quickly put down the water. She couldn’t believe her eyes looking at the man before her.

Who is this man? Why hasn’t she seen him before? Could it be that Xu Ke sent him to protect them secretly? But why would Xu Ke suddenly be so good to them?

Tangtang felt that she might be overthinking. It’s likely nothing of the sort.

"You say there’s a problem with the water, so I ask you, how do you know there’s a problem with the water? Besides, I poured this water before I went to bed last night, did you enter the room last night?"

Han Dacheng was a bit embarrassed; he truly had grievances he couldn’t voice. Clearly, he hadn’t rested well last night protecting the sisters, and now, he’s being accused of having ulterior motives.

Such grievances in the world!

"No, Miss Tangtang, things aren’t as you think, last night, I didn’t enter your room, don’t misunderstand."

In Tangtang’s eyes, Han Dacheng’s explanation seemed unnecessary, for she wasn’t in the mood to bother with it. What she needed to do now was figure out how to leave here and repay Xu Ke.

Standing in the corner of the room, Han Dacheng saw Tangtang pondering and chose not to disturb her, after all, everything depends on what his boss says when he arrives.

Only when the boss arrives will she know what her next course of action will be. Tangtang noticed Han Dacheng didn’t seem intent on leaving the ward.

She looked at the still asleep Guoguo and felt Han Dacheng was quite rude.

"Why don’t you go outside and wait till my sister wakes up, don’t just stand here, it makes me a bit nervous, plus, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for a man to stand in a girl’s room?"

After speaking, Han Dacheng suddenly found Tangtang’s words made sense, but his boss had instructed him to not leave them for even half a minute once they awoke. How could he just leave them now?

It’s also his boss’s idea, in case anything goes wrong, his life wouldn’t be spared. Better stay here shamelessly.

"Miss Tangtang, I know my presence makes you uncomfortable, but I have no choice, it’s my boss’s orders. He sent me to protect you sisters. Though you’ve successfully escaped from the tongzi building, both Third Young Master Hu and Fourth Master Wu aren’t people to be trifled with, so better follow my boss’s advice."

Before Han Dacheng could finish, Tangtang felt touched, Xu Ke actually cared so much for them.

Amid their conversation, Guoguo woke up.

Seeing the two standing there, Guoguo was surprised, how could there be a man standing in the room so early in the morning, even though this is a hospital, you can’t just come and go freely.

Seeing Guoguo awake, Tangtang stopped debating with Han Dacheng, as she had more important things to discuss with Guoguo, but Han Dacheng’s presence hindered their conversation.

"Brother, why don’t you step out, you see my sister is awake, and I need to talk to her, you standing here is a bit glaring, don’t you think? Isn’t it inappropriate for a man to be here?"

Han Dacheng, who had always been thin-skinned, blushed without even speaking, surprising Tangtang and Guoguo.

After all, Han Dacheng was Xu Ke’s man, how could he be so shy?

Such a grown man, yet so bashful around girls. "Sis, don’t make it hard for him, I don’t think he’s a bad person, let him stay here." After saying, Guoguo was about to get up to wash and eat but was stopped by Han Dacheng.

Han Dacheng informed them that last night, while they were resting, someone sneaked into the ward under the cover of darkness, but he didn’t know what had been done.

Anyway, that person seemed sneaky and not like a good person.

Now, Guoguo and Tangtang were really frightened, they had just escaped from the tongzi building without yet living comfortably, how could someone already be plotting against them?

But speaking of this, strictly speaking, Guoguo and Tangtang hadn’t offended anyone, yet someone wanted them dead, leaving her completely puzzled.

Someone entered their room last night, Tangtang suddenly recalled, she vaguely felt a presence by her bed but thought she was too tired, assuming it was a hallucination, hence dismissing it. But hearing Han Dacheng, she suddenly realized.

Someone indeed entered their room last night.

"Yes, you’re right, last night, someone did enter the room, at first I thought I was dreaming, but it turned out to be real."

"What did you say, standing by you?" Han Dacheng interrupted Tangtang’s memory, saying that if the person wanted to poison or do anything else, he would likely act from this side for it to be feasible."

The three of them simultaneously looked at the glass of water on the table, could it be the water was tainted?

Just then, a cat that seemed to have come from nowhere appeared in the room. Han Dacheng fed the cat some water, and indeed, after a short while, the cat died.

The water was indeed problematic,

Seeing the cat die, Tangtang’s face turned pale in shock, she hadn’t expected Han Dacheng’s words to be true this morning, but who could this person be?
