Chapter 177 His Sudden Appearance
"What happened to my father..." Bai Wei looked at him with a worried expression, her voice trembling slightly.
During her coma, something unexpected seemed to have happened that made her feel uneasy and fearful.
Fragments of what happened before she lost consciousness kept flashing through her mind, and those blurry memories made her suspicious.
She didn't know what kind of changes she had gone through, nor did she know her father's current condition.
Bai Wei was filled with anxiety; she couldn't wait to know the truth. However, seeing his solemn expression, her heart sank, and an ominous premonition welled up inside her.
"Bai Wei, don't rush, let me explain slowly..." He took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself down.
Bai Wei held his hand tightly, gesturing for him to continue.
“Something did happen while you were unconscious…” His voice was low and slow, as if every word carried a heavy burden. Bai Wei’s heart pounded faster and faster as she anxiously awaited his next words.
"Even you almost..." He paused, seemingly finding it difficult to say.
Because even his Ah Ran had a brush with death.
Bai Wei's face turned pale instantly; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
“However, fortunately, heaven is still on your side…” he quickly added, trying to ease Bai Wei’s fear.
Bai Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted from her heart.
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, at least she knew she was still alive, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"He was found dead, having suffered severe gunshot wounds..."
That day, he was led to a remote suburban warehouse, an extremely secluded place, surrounded by deserted people, with only a dilapidated warehouse standing there all alone.
The moment he stepped into the warehouse, a sinister aura swept over him, as if foreshadowing a terrible event about to occur.
To his utter surprise, the person who hurt him was his adopted son.
Suddenly, a muffled gunshot shattered the silence, catching him completely off guard. The bullet pierced his body, bringing excruciating pain, and he collapsed into a pool of blood. Blood gushed from the wound, staining the ground a shocking crimson.
Just then, the police received an emergency call reporting a fire and rushed to the scene.
However, by the time they arrived, it was already too late.
Despite the doctors' best efforts, he ultimately succumbed to his injuries and his life ended in an instant.
She has just woken up from her coma and is still very weak, unable to withstand much talking.
"The police are investigating with all their might, and there might be results soon..."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Wei's eyes widened instantly, and tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.
Ignoring her weakened state, she abruptly threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed. "I want to see my father! I want to see him!" she shouted hoarsely.
Fu Shiyue hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Aran, you are still very weak, you can't move around."
"Let me go! I want to see my father!" Bai Wei struggled frantically, her eyes filled with despair and pain.
He gritted his teeth and finally hardened his heart, saying, "It's too late. His body has already been cremated, and now only ashes remain."
Bai Wei froze, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, and instantly stopped struggling.
She stood there blankly, tears streaming down her face, murmuring, "Daddy... Daddy..." After a long while, she slowly squatted down, buried her head between her knees, and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
The crying seemed to release all the pain and sorrow in its heart.
They had only recently reunited and recognized each other, and their time together had been very short.
It was only a brief time together, only during the period when I was unconscious, but so many things happened in between.
"Where's my brother..." she choked up, "Is my brother alright?"
Fu Shiyue's expression was somewhat complicated. He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your brother, he... he's fine. He went to arrange your father's cremation. I'll have someone tell him that you've woken up and ask him to come over."
She nodded.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu was arranging Bai Chuhua's cremation.
Bai Yu was busy at the crematorium, his eyes filled with exhaustion and sorrow.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Fu Shiyue calling. "Bai Yu, she's awake. Come over if you want to see her," Fu Shiyue's voice came from the other end of the line.
Bai Yu immediately replied, "I understand. I'll go over as soon as I've finished what I need to do here."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu quickened his pace. Once everything was arranged, he rushed to the hospital.
Pushing open the ward door, he saw the haggard Bai Wei, his eyes reddening, and he quickly walked to her side. "Brother..." Bai Wei couldn't help but cry again when she saw Bai Yu. Bai Yu gently hugged her and comforted her, "It's alright, everything is over."
Is Dad really gone?
She still couldn't believe it and wanted Bai Yu to tell her in person if it was really true.
He feigned grief, nodded slightly, indicating that the matter was true, but he wasn't lying.
This confirms that the news of Bai Chuhua's death is indeed true.
Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a man dressed in black and wearing sunglasses strode in.
He was followed by several bodyguards, exuding a powerful aura.
"Hello." The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a wrinkled face, deep-set eyes, and a sharp gaze beneath thick eyebrows that seemed capable of piercing through any obstacle.
He seemed like a wise man who had weathered many storms; his jawline was well-defined, and he exuded an aura of composure that inspired respect.
Bai Wei and Bai Yu were both stunned; they didn't recognize this man.
"Who are you?" Bai Yu asked warily.
The man smiled slightly, "I was a good friend of your father. My name is Lin Mo. I heard about Mr. Bai's situation and came to see you."
As he spoke, he pulled a check out of his pocket. "This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope it can help you." Bai Wei and Bai Yu exchanged a glance, somewhat hesitant.
Lin Mo continued, "Actually, I suspect that Mr. Bai's death wasn't so simple. Perhaps I can help you find out the truth."
Bai Wei's eyes lit up. "Really? Please, you have to help us."
Lin Mo nodded. "Don't worry, I will. But this matter is very complicated, so you should be mentally prepared."
Faced with this man's sudden appearance, Bai Yu was filled with doubt and unease. He stared at the man before him, his eyes revealing deep suspicion, and slowly said, "My father just passed away, and you just happened to appear. Are you really friends with him?"
Bai Yu's voice carried a hint of doubt, because he had never heard his father, Bai Chuhua, mention this person before.
This man named Lin Mo seemed to have appeared out of thin air, making Bai Yu extremely suspicious of his identity and motives.
What puzzled Bai Yu even more was that Lin Mo had so generously given them a huge check. This action not only surprised Bai Yu, but also made him have more questions about the cause of Bai Chuhua's death.
After all, only Bai Yu himself knew the truth about Bai Chuhua's death—he had personally shot and killed his adoptive father.
Bai Yu couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts. Could it be that Lin Mo had already noticed what he was doing? Or was Lin Mo's appearance not accidental, but rather for some ulterior motive?
At that moment, Bai Yu felt that everything around him had become extremely suspicious. Whether it was Lin Mo, who had suddenly appeared, or anyone else who might be related to Bai Chuhua's death, they all made him wary.
At that moment, the ward door was pushed open again, and a policeman walked in. "Ms. Bai, Mr. Bai, we'd like to ask you about the circumstances surrounding the death of your father, Bai Chuhua."
The police officer said with a serious expression. Bai Wei and Bai Yu exchanged a glance, a sense of tension rising in their hearts.
After taking the statement, the police left.
After the police left, Lin Mo said, "The police investigation is one thing, but I will also investigate through my own channels." Bai Wei nodded gratefully, but Bai Yu remained wary.
At night, while everyone was asleep, Bai Yu secretly went out and drove off.
He went to the warehouse in the suburbs, hoping to see if he could destroy any evidence.
But when he arrived, he found the warehouse ransacked. He was startled; could it be Lin Mo?
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Bai Yu, don't waste your energy." Bai Yu turned around and saw Lin Mo standing there with several people. "Who are you?" Bai Yu asked in fear.
Lin Mo sneered: "Who I am is not important. What is important is that I know what you did."
It turns out that Lin Mo had long suspected Bai Yu and had been secretly investigating him.
"You're my good friend, aren't you? Have you forgotten, Bai Yu?"
Lin Mo looked at Bai Yu with a sly grin. That familiar voice reminded him of the mysterious person he had spoken to a few days ago.
"It's you..." A complex expression flashed across Bai Yu's face, a playful glint in his lips.
"The person who called me that day was you, Lin Mo."
Lin Mo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "It's me. Don't be nervous. I won't tell anyone your secret. Working together is a good option."
"Oh? Cooperation? What do you want me to do?"
Lin Mo leaned closer to him and lowered his voice, saying, "Help me get something important from Fu Shiyue's office. I've already found out; it's in his office safe. Once you get it, I guarantee you'll be safe."
Bai Yu hesitated, partly afraid of being exposed, and partly wanting to get rid of Lin Mo's threat. "How do I know you won't keep your promise?" Lin Mo smiled. "You have no other choice. Besides, with my help, the police won't trace it back to you."
"Moreover, I can also make your sister leave with you obediently, so that she will no longer be entangled with Fu Shiyue."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu replied, "Okay, I promise you."
He returned to the hospital late at night to take care of Bai Wei, pretending that nothing had happened.
Bai Wei asked him with concern why he had come to the hospital so late at night, and he made up an excuse that he wanted to come to the hospital to take care of her, thus brushing it off.
