Chapter 201 Yes, it's Tang Yu

things to him.What use are two sons……The phone screen lit up for a moment, then buzzed with vibration.They rented a car and drove at a steady speed towards the scenic spot. As soon as Qiao Bao'er got..."Floor 13, are you really going to take the stairs..."

"Just a moment, the elevator is coming."

Lu Qinan's face wasn't looking too good either. He dragged the impulsive little woman beside him and watched as the elevator door, with a soft ding, slowly began to open before them.

The public hospital here has seen a lot of patients recently, with people constantly coming and going in a hurry.

The injured man in the wheelchair, or people carrying test results hurried out of the elevator. Zhu Xiaowei finally waited for an open elevator and immediately rushed in.

She pressed the button for the 13th floor repeatedly, stomping her foot and glaring intently at the number displayed on the elevator.

Lu Qinan was dragged back by her, his expensive clothes in disarray, looking rather embarrassed.

"Joe Baby's phone wasn't in the ward, right Give her a call first. She's freaking out like someone's about to die." He couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.

In a hospital, talking about death is really unlucky.

However, she was so flustered that she had actually forgotten. She hurriedly took her phone out of her jacket pocket and dialed Qiao Baor's number.

Ding ding——

A string of phone ringtones rang.

It was Lu Qinan's phone in his pocket that was vibrating.

"Hello"

Zhu Xiao Wei looked at Lu, who was on the phone, with some resentment. She was in a hurry, and her calls to Qiao Bao'er went unanswered. She pressed the screen harder, trying to reconnect.

"The signal in the elevator was bad to begin with, and now I'm in a hurry... can you please coax those little mistresses of yours when you have time" Lu Qinan, that playboy, is probably on the phone with his girlfriend.

"You are my shepherd," Lu Qinian replied to her coolly.

Zhu Xiaoyi was stunned and immediately shut her mouth.

Just then, as the elevator reached the 5th floor, it came to a stop. Shortly after, a commotion could be heard from outside the elevator, accompanied by sobs and cries of sadness. Someone shouted frantically, "Get out of the way, all of you..."

A metal bed frame was wheeled in, and on it lay a person, their features obscured by a white sheet that covered them entirely, even their head.

The person on the bed had already passed away, and soon a large group of relatives of the deceased rushed in. The elevator was so crowded that people couldn't turn around.

Zhu Xiaowei's heart felt as if it were being squeezed, and a wave of unease washed over her again.

At this rate, with the elevator stopping and starting like this, when will she ever reach the 13th floor

"Where are you going, I told you Qiao Bao'er will be fine!"

Lu Qinian suddenly shouted at the figure ahead, his expression somewhat annoyed, and had to run out after it.

"Where are you now"

Lu Qinan scrambled up the stairs, panting and nervously answering the man on the other end of the phone, "I'm at the hospital."

"...it's not what you think," he quickly explained, "Jo Baoer she just ate the wrong thing this morning, her friend brought her here to get an IV drip, she's fine now, it's just that Zhu XiaoWei seems to have paranoid delusions..."

"Looking at her."

On the other end of the phone, a low voice spoke three words. Lu Qinan listened, taking two steps at a time, inexplicably becoming more anxious.

From the 5th floor of the inpatient department to the 13th floor, it takes just a few minutes. It's not long, nor is it short.

Thankfully, the wide staircase wasn't crowded. Even those passing by hurried along in silence. All around them was a peaceful quiet as they strained every muscle to race up the stairs, panting and their hurried footsteps echoing behind them.

There were faint footsteps approaching.

Taking it step by step, walking lightly.

Qiao Bao'er was sleeping somewhat dazedly. It seemed like dusk had already passed. The heavy curtains in this private ward were drawn, but why wasn't even a light on in the ward It was so dark.

"Xiao Zhu, what time is it now"

She knew someone was approaching her bed.

"I'm fine now, let me get discharged in a while. I don't like staying in the hospital; the smell of disinfectant is unpleasant..."

"Sorry, I messed up your interview today. By the way, you didn't eat lunch either, did you Let's go get Lu Qinan to treat us to a big meal."

Only her voice could be heard, but there was no reply from the other end.

Qiaoba'er frowned, then raised her head, "Xiao Zhu... what's wrong"

But the moment the words reached her lips, she saw nothing clearly. All she felt was a figure standing at her bedside.

Ah——

A wave of fear washed over me, a scream, a cry for help, all trapped within my throat.

The other party grabbed the pillow and pressed it directly onto her face with great force, a viciousness in their movements. Qiao Bao'er's face turned ashen instantly, her breathing became labored, and she gradually turned a bluish gray from suffocation.

Let go, let me go—

Let me go!

"Can you let me catch my breath"

At this moment, Lu Qinian by the stairs was extremely embarrassed. He had never climbed stairs like this before in his life. He propped himself up with both hands, his legs feeling weak, and weakly shouted towards the woman ahead.

"How can such an useless young master you be"

Zhu Xiao Wei was also out of breath. Since starting her job as a white-collar worker, she mostly took the elevator and rarely exercised.

"I suggest you don't hang out with Qiao Baoer too much, ouch... You women are all trouble..."

"I said, what could possibly happen to Qiao Baier Miss Zhu, you really… you're so perfect for being a nanny or housekeeper, you just love to worry too much."

Lu Qinian complained softly for a while, stood up straight, and looked at the "12" on this floor. It meant he still had to climb.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Zhu Xiaowei said in a muffled voice.

She has always been a worrier, even as a child. Most of the things she worries about are made up in her head. There's no way around it; that's just who she is.

"Come on, just one more floor," Lu Qinan didn't dawdle. He still had to explain to Jun Zhimu on the phone, but he couldn't help cursing, "Damn it, there's a long corridor to walk down yet."

"If Qiao Baobao has nothing else to do, we might as well let her get discharged and go out for a meal with us." Zhu Xiaowei also hurried to get going.

"What could possibly be wrong with her" Lu Qinan muttered irritably.

She didn't know what had happened...

She lay in the hospital room for the afternoon, still feeling weak. This sudden and vicious attack had caught her off guard.

Qiao Ba'er thrust her arms upwards, desperately trying to push the other person away. Her right hand had already grasped their wrist, a slender hand with delicate skin, like that of a woman's arm.

Seizing the opportunity, she wanted to strike back with all her might, but her strength was insufficient, and she couldn't break free.

Suddenly, there was a faint, crisp sound.

Like a woman's bracelet, the crystal beads fell to the floor.

Qiao Baoer could feel a moment's hesitation from the other person, as if they wanted to pick up the fallen ornament.

Jo Bao'er was struggling to breathe, her lips turning white. She writhed in pain, twisting her head, trying to get more oxygen.

The other person seemed determined to kill her. Suddenly, their entire weight shifted downward, and they slammed their head down towards hers with vicious force.

Joe Baoer was completely out of breath, holding her breath so that her brain began to lack oxygen, and her consciousness started to blur.

Her resistance struggled, gradually weakening and faltering.

Suddenly, I felt completely drained of energy and my hands fell straight to the bed...

"Why is this ward so dark"

Even Lu Qinian felt something amiss, his heart beating faster. "Don't worry, you'll know when we get in." The door was actually locked from the inside.

The door was kicked open by Lu Qinian in a hurry, when the two of them rushed in.

Who——

The figure at Qiao Baoer's bedside...

Who is...orted her softly."Annie, do you know, I'm especially worried about Qiao Bao'er from Jun's family right now…" Liu YiyI said through gritted teeth."Joe Bao'er The one who married into the Jun family as...
