Realizing that she had interrupted the conversation between Chi's mother and uncle, she walked to the other end of the sofa and sat down with Yun Luo.

"Sister Wanwan, the doctor just came to check and said that uncle and aunt are fine, you don't have to worry too much." Chi Yunluo said after Chi Wan sat down next to him.

"Yes. Okay, I got it. Thank you, Sister Yunluo." Chi Wan's expression eased a little and she replied.

Yun Luo held her hand and whispered to her about the fun things that happened at school. Chi Wan listened quietly. She knew that her sister was trying to divert her attention.

It's not just this incident that makes me unable to control my emotions, but I can't bear the feeling of powerlessness when encountering this incident, just like I did then.

While my mother was chatting with my uncle, several groups of people came. They were all colleagues and subordinates of Chi's father who came to visit him, but Chi's father hadn't woken up yet, so they chatted briefly and left.

It was already dark outside when Chi's father woke up and called a nurse to remove the ventilator. Seeing that it was really as Chi's mother said, Chi Wan was relieved.

The eldest uncle's family had not left yet, and Uncle Zhang had the family prepare dinner and sent it over. The meals for Father Chi and Mother Chi were separated. The whole family had a simple meal in the ward.

After dinner, Chi Wan talked to Chi's father for a while before her uncle and his family decided to leave.

Only then did Chi Wan understand why her uncle's family also had to have this unappetizing dinner in the hospital.

"Wanwan, your aunt has just talked to your mother. Can you come back to the old house and live with us for the next few days?"

"No, thanks, aunt." He turned around and looked at his mother. "Mom, I don't need to go back to the old house. I can take care of myself and you."

After hearing what she said, Chi's mother looked at Lu Xingning with a smile and said, "See, I told you that Wanwan will not go back with you."

"Well, it's okay. Wanwan, if you need any help, you can call your aunt anytime. We will all come to help you." Lu Xingning smiled gently.

"Okay, thank you uncle and aunt." Chi Wan thanked with a smile.

"Mom, why don't you let me accompany Sister Wanwan?" Yun Luo pushed away her father who was blocking her view, showed her head and said.

Lu Xingning looked at her clever daughter and said, "No, you should stay with your sister Wanwan. She still has to take care of you. This will only cause trouble for her."

Yun Luo called her father back and muttered to herself while hiding behind them.

"Thank you, Yunluo. I'll be a little busy right now. You're welcome to come and play whenever you have time."

"Okay. Let Yunluo come to accompany you next time." Uncle Chi said.

Chi Wan escorted her parents to the elevator before returning to the ward. There were already some fruit baskets scattered around the ward. Mother Chi was peeling an apple.

Chi Wan sat between the two beds, took the fruit from Chi's mother's hand and continued peeling it.

"Dad, what happened today? Have I told you the reason?" Chi Wan asked.

"There's no result yet. Something happened to the secretary and the driver as well. After your uncle helps them change rooms, we'll go see them." Father Chi said.

"Okay." Chi Wan responded, and then said, "Why are mom and dad going home together after get off work today?"

"I'm attending an event today with your mother."

"Well, that's it."

"I've asked my family to arrange a driver to pick you up. Go home and rest early. You still have to go to school tomorrow, so you don't have to stay here with us."

"Is it okay without my company?"

"It's okay, Wanwan. Mom and Dad aren't seriously injured, they just look a little serious."

"OK then."

Chi's mother was only scratched and was conscious when she came to the hospital. Chi's father was more seriously injured. When the accident happened, several people were wearing seat belts, but Chi's father was worried about Chi's mother and protected her under his body. As a result, he broke his bones when he was hit and his leg was severely sprained.

Chi Wan cut the peeled apples into pieces, handed a plate to each person, and continued to peel apples. One apple was not enough to share.

Chi Wan was busy with her work when there was a knock on the ward door.

Three people came in. One was in a wheelchair, one was pushing him, and one was carrying fruit.

"Minister Chi, I didn't expect that your car was also involved in this traffic accident." The person who spoke was a man in his fifties, wearing hospital gown and sitting in a wheelchair.

Chi Wan listened to the voice and looked up. Director Tao? Because the one pushing the wheelchair was Tao Chuan. Why was he here?

Remembering Captain Luo's reminder before, Chi Wan did not have more contact with Tao Chuan and always maintained the state of knowing each other at the beginning.

"Director Tao, how are you?" Before the accident, the secretary had mentioned this to him when he saw Director Tao's car in front of him. However, since they had no experience together, it was inconvenient to ask him directly about his condition.

Chi Wan stood up, helped Mrs. Tao put down the gifts, and asked them to sit down, obviously taking care of the guests like an adult.

"I'm fine. Just some bones are dislocated. I just heard from my subordinates about the situation and found out that you were also in the hospital. I'm sorry for the situation at that time." Director Tao felt a little guilty.

"My car was the first vehicle to be involved in the accident. When the oncoming truck hit us, we considered the possibility of subsequent vehicles being hit, and we made a plan to stop it, but we all ignored the fact that this person hit us intentionally."

"The police car was able to withstand the test of collision avoidance. It skidded under the impact of the other vehicle and hit your car behind it, which caused you to be implicated."

"Director Tao, this was not something you could have predicted. If your car had not been the one that was hit, our car would have been hit even harder. Don't blame yourself too much. Catching the perpetrator and severely punishing him is the best explanation you can give us."

"Of course, this is what we should do. Don't worry, the police are already focusing on investigating this matter and will give you the results soon."

"Thank you for your hard work. We have great confidence in Director Tao's ability to lead the team."

Word by word, they told the story of the traffic accident. After a brief chat, they left. Both of them needed to have a good rest and were not suitable for much conversation.

"Chi Xi, who is this Chief Tao?" Chi's mother asked Chi's father. From their conversation, she guessed that this man was the new chief of the police station.

Why did the previous director, Director Pan, choose this person to succeed him?

In D City, where there are more wolves than meat, many people are eyeing this position. When they knew about the possible transfer, people in the circle were already speculating who would take the position, and it turned out that someone outside the circle came.

"Not sure. I heard he's an alumnus of Director Pan's university." There are only two top police academies in the country, so it's hard not to be an alumnus. This answer naturally did not convince anyone.

"It seems that he was transferred here because of his outstanding abilities and was valued by Director Pan." Chi's mother often heard about various things in the circle, so she naturally understood that this speculation was unreliable.

"Well, during his tenure, the crime clearance rate in Y City was significantly higher than usual, and the crime situation in the entire city also decreased. He must be quite capable."
