Chapter 44 - The Stock Plummeted
Chapter 44 The Stock Plummeted
When Huo Yunqi carried the man out of the car, the doctors and nurses of the hospital had already waited at the door. They placed the man on the cart and directly sent him to the operating room for emergency treatment. Only then did Huo Yunqi have to let go of Xia Luobing’s hand.
The red light in the operating room lit up. Huo Yunqi stood upright, his white shirt stained with blood. It was as red as the light in the operating room!
“What’s going on?” Xia Yan brought Wang Xiaoman and Xia Luoxin hurriedly rushed over to Huo Yunqi and asked, “How’s Bing Bing?”
Huo Yunqi’s face was ashen, and his voice was hoarse, “She’s injured, and she’s still in the process of being rescued!”
“How could this be?” Xia Yan rushed to the door of the operating room and scratched the door to take a look. He anxiously spun around and muttered, “Bing Bing must be fine! Bing Bing …”
Although Xia Luobing’s attitude towards Xia Yan had estranged a lot since Wang Xiaoman brought Xia Luoxin into the room, she was still the daughter that Xia Yan had raised in her hands. In addition to her guilt towards Xia Luobing, she was extremely worried when she saw that her life and death were uncertain.
Charlotte looked at Huo Yunqi, who was in a sorry state but did not lose her charm, and couldn’t help but step forward, “Brother-in-law, are you alright? Are you hurt? Did you see a doctor?”
Huo Yunqi glanced coldly at Xia Luoxin and said, “You should care about Ice!”
Xia Luoxin’s expression changed and she was extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoman was able to rescue her in time, “Yun Qi, auntie knows that you’re worried about ice, but this child is stubborn. She doesn’t want to be a policeman, so she insists on doing this job. It’s frightening all day long! Unlike us Luo Xin …”
Before Wang Xiaoman could finish speaking, Huo Yunqi Jing walked away with a cold face. The murderous aura of “strangers don’t approach” made the two women not dare to take a single step closer.
At five o’clock in the morning, the door to the operating room finally opened. Yunqi Huo took a step forward and stared at the doctor without saying a word. His fingers, which were hanging on one side of his body, trembled slightly.
Carrying Xia Luobing all the way here, he knew that she had lost a lot of blood, so he didn’t dare to ask but was eager to know about the operation.
The doctor took off his mask and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He respectfully nodded at Huo Yunqi, “President Huo, don’t worry, Miss Xia is out of danger. She can be transferred to the general ward after observing in the intensive care unit for two days!”
The nurse pushed Xiao Luobing out of the operating room with a pale face and pushed her into the intensive care unit without waiting for everyone to step forward.
The doctor looked at the few people and advised, “The patient doesn’t need the care of his family when he is in the intensive care unit. All of you should go back and rest first.”
Through the window of the ICU, Huo Yunqi stared at the woman lying on the bed without blinking. His mind was filled with the scene of Xiao Luobing pouncing on him. He frowned and said, “Stupid woman!”
Huo Yunqi stayed outside the ICU until Ye Shaochen rushed over.
“Huo’s shares are plummeting.” When Ye Shaochen saw Huo Yunqi open his mouth, he looked at Xia Luobing in the ward and said in a low voice, “How is he?”
“Transfer to the general ward tomorrow.” Huo Yunqi shifted his gaze away from President Xia Luobing and looked at Ye Shaochen . He said coldly, “Share prices have plummeted? What’s the reason?”
Ye Shaochen frowned and handed the newspaper to Huo Yunqi. His expression was a little bad, “The newspaper said that Young Madam Huo was kidnapped, maybe, maybe …”
Huo Yunqi had already read the newspaper headline “Young Madam Huo was kidnapped or raped”. He clenched his fingers tightly and continued to read the rest of the story. It was likely that Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing had a deep relationship. Now that there was an accident in Xia Luobing, Huo Yunqi did not have the mood to run the company, Huo shi was in danger, and so on
The picture in the newspaper was of Xiao Luobing’s hands and feet tied and thrown to the ground. Her facial features were so clear that people could recognize her at a glance.
“Check this newspaper! Source of the photos!” Huo Yunqi’s expression was gloomy as he crumpled the newspaper bit by bit and threw it fiercely onto the ground. He stepped on it and went straight to the Public Security Bureau.
He really wanted to see who was behind the scenes and who dared to touch him!
The news quickly spread to the Huo Clan’s old mansion. Liu Yan saw the news in the newspaper and was instantly enraged. She pointed at Huo Yunxi and said, “Let Huo Yunqi go home immediately! The Huo Clan is going to end this woman’s misfortune!”
“Auntie, don’t get excited. Maybe there’s something hidden in it.” Zhuang Xinran thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Liu Yan and kindly advised with a dignified and generous expression, “You can’t trust all the news in the newspaper!”
Liu Yan impatiently pushed away the cup that Zhuang Xinran had brought over and pointed at the newspaper with her index finger, “Photos! The photos are all here! Shameful!”
“Mommy, you’re going too far!” Huo Yunxi really couldn’t listen anymore. He quickly glanced at the newspaper and angrily said, “Right now, the most important thing is the safety of sister-in-law!”
Liu Yan grabbed the pillow on the sofa and smashed it over, “That woman has completely disgraced the Huo Clan, yet she still wants me to care about her?”
“Yunxi, just say a few words less.” Zhuang Xinran sighed awkwardly while helping Liu Yan. “When I came here, I heard from my father that Huo’s stock had been greatly affected by this matter. Now, it has fallen heavily.”
“What?!” Liu Yan sat on the sofa like she was discouraged, her eyes filled with anger. “This woman is really a jinx. She wants to kill our Huo Clan!”
Huo Yunxi glanced at Zhuang Xinran and went upstairs without saying a word. She was not an idiot, but she could clearly see the complacency at the corner of Zhuang Xinran’s mouth. This woman clearly wanted to be her sister-in-law!
From time to time, Liu Yan’s angry voice and Zhuang Xinran ‘s timely consolation came from the living room. Huo Yunxi was distraught and dialed Huo Yunqi’s number. “Brother, is sister-in-law alright?”
“She’s in the hospital.” Huo Yunqi briefly explained the situation of Xia Luobing and hung up the phone to continue explaining to Ye Shaochen , “We must dig out the person behind this!”
Ye Shaochen changed his usual playfulness and said with a serious expression, “I know. Don’t worry about taking care of Xia Luobing!”
Originally, they thought that it was the people that Xia Luobing had offended before who came to seek revenge, but after Huo Yunqi and Ye Shaochen dug deeply, they discovered that the person behind this was not Xia Luobing but the Huo Corporation.
Xia Luobing woke up the next day. In the afternoon, she was transferred to the VIP ward and Huo Yunqi stayed by her side.
“Do you want to eat?” Huo Yunqi asked softly as he looked at Xia Luobing, who had to lie on the bed due to a back injury.
Xia Luobing shook her head with difficulty and looked at Huo Yunqi. Her voice was hoarse, “You’ve been staying here all this time?”
When she woke up in the intensive care unit, Xiao Luobing saw Huo Yunqi standing guard outside the window, and her heart calmed down inexplicably.
“You’ve always been so stupid?” Huo Yunqi was a little angry and stared at Xiao Luobing. “The doctor said that the knife almost pierced his heart.”
When he heard the doctor say this, Huo Yunxi was scared. Ever since he was sensible, he had never been so scared of losing someone.
The corner of Xia Luobing’s mouth twitched. She looked at Huo Yunqi and said weakly, “I’m injured and I’m still being scolded by you! It’s very affecting my mood!”
When she was alone in the intensive care unit, Xiao Luobing could only turn her head and look at Huo Yunqi, who was guarding outside. Thinking about the messy questions he had asked her in the car that day, she felt her heart was full and warm.
Originally, she thought that this fellow had decided to be gentle with her, but she didn’t expect that she would still have a stinking face and speak hard. No matter what, she was injured for her sake!
“En!” Huo Yunqi’s face was a little uncomfortable. Finally, he pulled a chair and sat beside Xia Luobing ‘s hospital bed. Looking at the woman’s delicate facial features, he did not say anything for a long time.
Xiao Luobing was so uncomfortable being stared at that she couldn’t help but ask in the end, “Is there something on my face?”
“No.” Huo Yunqi put a strand of Xiao Luobing’s hair behind her ear and said, “Bing Bing, why?”
In such a critical moment, she rushed over without hesitation. Yunqi Huo’s heart had never recovered from the shock.
Because of Feng Shuo and the later tapes, the relationship between the two had been very stalemate. Hearing Huo Yunqi shout the word “ice” again, Xia Luobing felt her nose was sour and a little aggrieved, but she bit her lips tightly to prevent her tears from falling out.
“I am the people’s police, and you are the people.” Xia Luobing sniffed and said stuffily, “It’s my duty to protect you!”
The corners of Huo Yunqi’s mouth twitched and his face was full of black lines. However, he still gently stroked Xiao Luobing’s head and said, “Yes.”
The two of them didn’t apologize, but the distance between them was much shorter.
“Bing Bing, eat.” Huo Yunqi placed the lunch box on the table and shook the bed. After a few days of cultivation, Xia Luobing no longer had to lie on her stomach every day. She could sit on her stomach for half a day. However, Huo Yunqi was very strict and did not allow her to get out of bed easily.
When Xia Luobing saw the nutritious meal in the lunch box, she gulped down her saliva and looked up at Huo Yunqi, complaining, “I’ve already become a fat man.”
Apart from going to the bathroom every day, she stayed in bed. The activity area was the size of the ward, but the food for each meal was extremely nutritious. It was strange that she wasn’t fat!
“Are you fat?” Huo Yunqi reached out and pinched Xia Luobing’s chin. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Very good!”
Xia Luobing blushed and glared at Huo Yunqi. She complained unhappily, “You did it on purpose!”
Huo Yunqi nodded, “Yes, on purpose!”
“You …”
Just as the two of them were having a good time fighting, the ward door was pushed open. Zhuang Xinran came in with flowers and saw Huo Yunqi smiling gently, “Yun Qi, auntie asked me to come over and take a look at Luo Bing.”
This aunt was naturally Huo Yunqi’s mother.
Since the other party did not call her name, Xia Luobing lowered his head to eat seriously and directly ignored Zhuang Xinran ‘s existence.
However, it was clear that the other party did not think so.
“Luo Bing, are you recovering well?” Zhuang Xinran asked thoughtfully. He placed the flowers on the table and smiled at Xiao Luobing. “Yun Qi didn’t go to the company for many days because of you. Auntie is very worried.”
It is said that a woman’s sixth sense is very accurate, so the female criminal police’s sixth sense is already more accurate, right?
Zhuang Xinran wanted to strangle her to death. This was Xia Luobing’s most direct feeling.
“Bing Bing, let’s eat first. Otherwise, it’ll be cold.” Huo Yunqi picked up another pair of chopsticks and served Xiao Luobing some dishes.
Xia Luobing picked up her bowl and dodged in time, her face full of disgust: “Eating pig liver every day, so tired of panicking!”
“What do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll change it for you.”
“Fish, I want to eat fish.”
“Good. Braised or steamed?”
“Braised pork.”
Huo Yunqi and Xiao Luobing talked about tomorrow’s lunch one after another, completely ignoring Zhuang Xinran , whose face had already turned pig liver color.
