Chapter 324: Give her three days.

Translator: 549690339

Wang Yaohui turned to the man behind him, and said gravely, “Miss Wen always keeps her word. I can vouch for that. She arrived at the scene at the earliest possible time and made a promise to us, we shouldn’t then be less trustful than a woman.”

“Okay, let’s give her three days. If she can’t figure out what happened, don’t blame us for being rude.”

Wen Ran sighed with relief internally while maintaining her composure, “Three days is enough; I will make sure I don’t disappoint everyone.”

Finally, the deceased’s family agreed to remove the body. However, they would not cremate it in the next three days but instead leave it in mortuary.

Wen Ran asked Qing Yang and Qing Feng to handle the remaining matters with the family. She took the car keys from Qing Yang and turned her worried eyes towards Qin Mu, who had been closely following her despite being injured and resisting going to the hospital. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

The accident had happened so suddenly that she didn’t even have time to call an ambulance. The ambulance that had arrived on the construction site earlier took the injured foreman to the hospital.

Blood from Qin Mu’s forehead was mixing with the rainwater and trickling down.

He pressed his hand against the wound and climbed into the car. In the car’s light, Wen Ran saw his face turning pale.

“There are first-aid supplies in the car. Even if you don’t want to go to the hospital, you have to at least get in the car and clean your wound first. What if it gets infected?”

She didn’t know if the person who had injured Qin Mu was Wang Yaohui, but she saw blood on the iron rod in his hand.

At this moment, when Qin Mu’s hand moved away, she vaguely saw traces of rust on his forehead.

Qin Mu pursed his lips, silently looking at the worried Wen Ran. As a grown man, it was a shock to have been sneak attacked, and he didn’t dare to retaliate against these family members. The moment Wen Ran showed up, his heart pounded in his throat.

How could he leave her for a moment when all he wanted was to protect her if those people attacked her and the police couldn’t stop them?

“What are you thinking about?”

Wen Ran pulled out the first-aid supplies and looked up to see Qin Mu staring blankly at her. Her face darkened, and her tone became harsher.

“I’m fine. I just need to go to the hospital directly. No need to clean up here.”

The injury wasn’t severe; if it were severe, he couldn’t have held on for so long.

“That’s not acceptable. Your wound is still bleeding. At least disinfect it and stop the bleeding before going to the hospital.”

As Wen Ran murmured, she grabbed some cotton swabs and reached toward his forehead.

“I’ll do it myself!”

When Wen Ran’s fingers touched Qin Mu’s forehead, he stiffened and covered his wound with his hand.

“Move your hand,”

Wen Ran looked at him impatiently. Seeing Qin Mu stubbornly pressing his hand over the wound—with her growing urge to snap—she reached out to pull his arm aside and cleaned the wound herself.

Qin Mu’s eyes clouded as he watched Wen Ran disinfect and bandage his wound; a feeling stirred within him, spreading out, difficult to suppress.

On the way to the hospital, Wen Ran didn’t speak to Qin Mu again, focusing on driving instead.

Despite being injured, Qin Mu was busy making several calls on the way.

Just before arriving at the hospital, Wen Ran received a call from Gu Kai. He had just come out of the operating room and seen the news about the Commercial Trade Building incident.

“Older Brother Gu, I’m okay. Qin Mu got hurt.”

Wen Ran briefly explained the situation. Gu Kai ended the call when he heard she was driving.

By the time Wen Ran and Qin Mu arrived at the hospital, Gu Kai and Wen Jin were already waiting at the entrance.

Gu Kai’s gaze swept over Qin Mu’s forehead, then turned to Wen Ran, scanning her from head to toe. Only after making sure she was alright did he say, “Ah Mu, go to my office first, and we’ll clean your wound.”

Wen Jin glanced at Qin Mu, then turned all of his attention to Wen Ran. After making sure she was okay, he reprimanded her, “Ranran, how could you risk your safety by going there when the construction site was so chaotic?”

Wen Ran gave a slight smile, took Wen Jin’s arm, and helped him walk towards the hospital. “Brother, if Mo Xiuchen doesn’t go to the company, of course I can’t ignore it. Fortunately, I knew one of the deceased’s family members.”

“Still talking. If you didn’t know Wang Yaohui, would they have listened to you?”

Wen Jin still felt unsettled when he thought about the scenes he had seen in the news.

“Oh, well, I couldn’t care less then, I just felt like, at times like these, I can play a more significant role than you men.”

This was Wen Ran’s take away from the day’s experience.

Imagine, Qin Mu was attacked as soon as he arrived. Even if Mo Xiuchen had been there, he may not have been able to persuade them.

After all, Wen Ran was a woman, and with her earnest and moving words, even in their anger, the families didn’t dare to lay a hand on her.

Moreover, she knew one of the family members; appealing to them emotionally and rationally was more effective than suppression.

Wen Jin glared at her, meeting her innocent stare and his anger quickly dissipated. He nonetheless warned her, “Don’t be so reckless next time.”

Wen Ran obediently nodded, knowing her brother was worried about her, “There won’t be a next time.”

“Xiaoxiao saw the news too, and she’s worrying about you right now. Qin Mu’s wound doesn’t appear serious, go and console Xiaoxiao, I’ll go check on Qin Mu.”

Entering the elevator, Wen Jin pressed the button for the floor where Bai Xiaoxiao was staying along with another floor.

“Okay, I’ll go see Xiaoxiao first.”

Wen Ran didn’t tell Wen Jin that she would have to leave after seeing Bai Xiaoxiao. The construction site accident had only temporarily mollified the families.

The cause of the accident must be investigated as soon as possible. The fact that she left Qing Yang and Qing Feng at the site wasn’t just for them to help move the deceased.

Although, on the way to the hospital, Qin Mu had also made arrangements, Wen Ran still felt things wouldn’t be resolved so easily.

As she pushed open the door to the room, she found Bai Xiaoxiao alone.

Seeing her, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately asked, “Ranran, I just saw the news. You were at the scene of the incident, are you okay?”

Wen Ran gave a slight smile, walked to the bed, and sat on the edge, “Don’t worry, I’m okay.”

She had merely been caught in the rain with her clothes dripping wet.

As she didn’t have any clothes in the car, she hadn’t taken off her coat but was wearing it.

Wen Jin had been so worried about her safety that he had overlooked this. Bai Xiaoxiao touched Wen Ran’s sleeve and immediately frowned. “Your clothes are wet? You were in the rain, why are you still wearing wet clothes?”

“I came here to get some dry clothes. Only the coat is wet, the clothes inside are not.”

“Your hair is also wet.”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at her unhappily.

Wen Ran stood up, took off her coat, and changed into a fur coat she had left here from her previous stay.

“My hair is loose, it doesn’t matter.”

“Do you think you’re made of iron? How can it not matter? No, you were caught in the rain and then wore wet clothes all the way. You’ll definitely catch a cold. Ask Gu Kai to give you some cold medicine.”

Bai Xiaoxiao thought it over. They didn’t have ginger soup to offer her. If she got a cold, she’d inevitably need to take medicine. So, it was better to take some preventative medicine.
