386: Successful

Successful

The weight of the recent events hung heavily in the air, and Qin Yan sought answers about the driver of the truck involved in the accident.

She looked at Xi Ting, "Ah Ting, do we know anything about the driver of the truck?"

Just as Qin Yan posed her question, Xi Jiu approached them, having completed the preliminary investigation.

"Sir, Ma'am, we've already looked into the driver of the truck. Unfortunately, he did not survive the impact. It however appears to have been a deliberate act."

Qin Yan and Xi Ting, both were least shocked to hear this. When they had seen the driver's face, they knew that something was wrong with him.

"Do a further investigation and keep the results with yourself," Xi Ting instructed Xi Jiu.

"Yes, sir!"

As the ambulance doors swung open, a sense of urgency filled the air. The medical team quickly and gently transferred the unconscious pregnant woman from the stretcher onto a hospital bed, their movements precise and practiced.

In the emergency room, the woman lay still, her body seemingly fragile amidst the sterile surroundings. The medical staff surrounded her, their faces masked with a mixture of concern and determination. Monitors beeped rhythmically, providing a constant stream of vital signs and information to guide the medical team's actions.

Doctors and nurses swiftly initiated their assessments, carefully checking her pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. Their experienced hands moved with purpose, ensuring her airway was clear and her breathing stable.

"Let's get a full set of tests done immediately. We need to determine the extent of her injuries and stabilize her condition as quickly as possible," A doctor said to his team.

Nurses prepared the necessary equipment, attaching electrodes to the woman's chest to monitor her heart rhythm, while others began preparing an IV line to administer fluids and medications.

In the midst of their actions, the medical professionals made sure to approach the woman with the utmost gentleness and respect, recognizing the complexity of her emotions as she grappled with the profound loss of her child.

Emotions were palpable in the room, as nurses offered a comforting presence and doctors collaborated on the best course of action. The woman's pain radiated through the air, and the medical team sought to provide not just physical care, but also emotional support.

While the woman's unconsciousness prevented her from fully comprehending the extent of the tragedy, the medical staff understood the importance of providing a supportive environment that would help her navigate the painful journey of grief and healing once she regained consciousness.

Once the immediate treatment was completed, the doctors prepared to shift the woman to the normal ward.

As soon as the doctor came out of the emergency room, the father of the unborn child, his face etched with worry and anxiety, rushed toward them, desperate for any news about the woman's condition.

"Please, tell me, how is Mei Mei? Is she going to be alright? And...and the baby?"

The doctors, acutely aware of the delicate nature of the situation, approached Xi Yaohua with empathy and sensitivity.

"Sir, we're doing everything we can to stabilize her condition. However, I regret to inform you that the baby did not survive."

The words hung heavy in the air, the weight of their implications settling upon Xi Yaohua's shoulders. His expression morphed from anxiety to shock, a range of emotions cascading across his face.

"No...no, it can't be... Is she conscious? Can I see her?"

The doctor, recognizing Xi Yaohua's need for information and the desire to be with the woman, sought to offer reassurance.

"She is currently unconscious, but we're working diligently to provide her with the best possible care. We understand this is an incredibly difficult time for you, and we'll do our utmost to support her recovery."

The nurse beside the doctor said, "Sir, I understand that this is a distressing time for you. We will allow you to see her briefly, but please keep in mind that she needs time to rest and recover. We'll provide you with updates as her condition progresses."

Xi Yaohua nodded, his eyes filled with a mix of sorrow and concern, as he followed the nurse toward the room where Song Mei laid.

Laughter echoed Qin Muran's room as she hung up the phone call. She had been successful. The baby was gone.

However, the laughter stopped soon as Qin Muran realised that Song Mei had survived the accident. But she was not that worried now. Without the child, Xi Yaohua would lose his interest in Song Mei sooner or later.

Qin Muran sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes focused and determined. Now, she had to proceed further in order to deepen the relationship between her and Xi Yaohua.

She had finally decided to become an actress. She ran her fingers through her hair, her mind buzzing with anticipation and a newfound sense of purpose. Becoming an actress was not just a means to keep an eye on Xi Yaohua; it was her dream too.

She had decided to focus on her acting minor. Finance would now take a backseat in her career as she only needed a degree to have a place in Qin Corporation.

Meanwhile.

In a private restaurant.

There was only one table in the entire restaurant. The lights in the restaurant weren't turned on, and all the candles were lit. There was a bouquet of roses in every vase on the table.

The night breeze blew gently, and the entire restaurant was filled with the faint scent of roses.

On the stage of the restaurant, a professional band was playing a tune on the spot. The melodious and slow music lingered in the air.

At the table by the window, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other. The man was handsome and cheerful, while the woman was young and graceful. They looked like a talented couple.

The waiter served the two steaks the chef had just prepared, "Mr. Jia, Miss Qiao, please enjoy."

Jia Yuze looked at Qiao Qing and smiled, "Do you like it here?"

Qiao Qing nodded. Like any other girl, she also loved being treated like a princess. The arrangement was so good that she almost had tears in her eyes.

She looked into Jia Yuze's eyes and felt her heart race.

The man looked at her intently. He seemed to only have eyes for her. It tempted her. Her heart raced wildly.

"That's good," Jia Yuze picked up his fork and knife and gently cut the steak in front of him. He said gently, "Miss Qiao, you can try the steak. It tastes pretty good. Miss Qiao, you must be hungry. Eat something first, we'll talk later, alright?"

"… Alright," The man's voice was low, gentle, and magnetic. Qiao Qing liked such a voice the most. She couldn't resist it when he spoke to her in such a gentle voice.

Qiao Qing was hungry too. She felt that she should fill her stomach first and talk about other things later. There was no rush.

Qiao Qing didn't want this date to end too soon. She hoped to spend more time with Jia Yuze.

Qiao Qing picked up her fork and knife, only to see Jia Yuze pick up his steak and place it on her plate. He took her steak that hadn't been cut.

Qiao Qing looked at him in shock, "Mr. Jia, you're…"

"What happened? Don't men do this for their ladies? Do you not like it?" Jia Yuze asked.

"No," Qiao Qing immediately shook her head, "That's really sweet."

She failed to notice the hint in Jia Yuze's words where he referred to her as his woman.

Still, her heart thumped wildly seeing Jia Yuze's actions.

"I've also made other arrangements for our date. I hope Miss Qiao will be satisfied by my arrangements," Jia Yuze said looking at Qiao Qing.

Qiao Qing's lips stiffened. Seeing these arrangements, she knew that this was a hint given by Jia Yuze for what was coming later. However, her mind refused to believe it.

How could such a charming and cheerful person like a girl like her! She found the hints hard to believe.

But no matter what, she couldn't hide her curiosity, "Other arrangements? Can I know what you have arranged?"

"There's no rush," Jia Yuze smiled, "I'm sorry, but I hope to give Miss Qiao a surprise, so I can't tell you for now."

Jia Yuze winked at Qiao Qing.2

Qiao Qing felt her heart race again. She felt like she couldn't take it anymore.

Oh my.

This man..

She felt a little giddy as if she was drunk.

"Cough, cough, cough. Mr. Jia, let's eat something first," Qiao Qing touched her burning face. She picked up the knife and fork on the table and swallowed a piece of steak and then lowered her head to hide her panic.

She couldn't look at Jia Yuze anymore. She wasn't immune to his face at all. As her gaze landed on his handsome face, her mind went blank. She couldn't think, and then she felt dizzy and didn't know what she was doing.
