The lights went out and the doctor came out.

He took off his mask and explained to Jiang Tao, who looked anxious, "The old man was too emotional, which caused his blood to attack his heart. His body didn't react for a while, so he fell into a coma. Family members should pay more attention. The old man is old, so it's best to keep his emotions stable and don't let him get too excited."

Jiang Tao felt very aggrieved. The old man doted on Zhong Yao all day long and fought with him, his biological father. He was so happy when watching the show. The old man was emotionally unstable? He was the most emotionally unstable person in the family!

"You can go in now. The old man should be able to wake up in a while."

When Jiang Bailin woke up slowly, he felt a splitting headache. His mind uncontrollably imagined Zhong Yao's bloody appearance buried under the underground palace.

That was the child he had found with great difficulty, how could this happen?

Jiang Tao was about to help him sit up, but Jiang Bailin grabbed his wrist and said, "Where's Butler Jiang? Is Butler Jiang back?"

"Dad, I called. Butler Jiang will be here soon."

Jiang Tao: "Dad, why did you suddenly faint? What happened?"

"Ayao, Ayao..."

Jiang Tao waved his hand unhappily, "Dad, don't mention that bastard Zhong Yao. I don't know what she's doing out there. She didn't even answer the phone. Tongtong had such a busy academic schedule in the new semester that she even asked for leave to come here. But that bastard is easy to worry about. She just went out and didn't even call me. When she comes back this time, I will definitely teach her a lesson. Dad, please don't stop her this time."

Jiang Bailin looked at Jiang Tao with disappointment, and finally closed his eyes helplessly.

Jiang Bailin's tone was flat, and he seemed to be exhausted.

"You are a father, so don't blame the child without knowing the truth. Jiang Tao, if you really hate A Yao so much, why did you recognize her? I know that you were hindered by my thoughts at first and didn't want to bear the reputation of being unfilial. Later, you saw A Yao's potential and wanted to use her to take the Jiang family to a higher level. But if you really hate her so much, you could have told me openly at the beginning, and I wouldn't force you to recognize the child. Anyway, A Yao's household registration is with me, and we can move back to the old house and depend on each other, and it won't be an eyesore to you. You, you..."

Jiang Tao's face turned red because of what he said, but the old man didn't look angry at all, and his voice was flat and without any ups and downs.

Butler Jiang pushed the door open in a hurry, and the first thing he saw was the emaciated Jiang Bailin lying on the hospital bed.

The moment he saw him, hope flashed in the old man's eyes: "Have you found out? Is it A Yao?"

Butler Jiang opened his mouth, almost not daring to meet Jiang Bolin's eyes: "Yes sir, but——"

When Jiang Bailin saw the expression on Butler Jiang's face, he already understood most of it. When he heard Butler Jiang admit it, Jiang Bailin's face turned pale as paper in an instant.

He raised his hand tremblingly, opened the quilt, and pretended to get out of bed.

Jiang Tao quickly grabbed Jiang Bolin's arm and said, "Dad, you just got out of danger. What are you going to do? Is this related to Zhong Yao again?"

Jiang Bailin waved Jiang Tao away and held Butler Jiang's hand tightly, his eyes already broken, but still with some stubborn self-deception.

"No, it's impossible! There were so many people at the scene, how could it be such a coincidence that it was A Yao? There were more than a thousand people, Butler Jiang, but only my A Yao was buried there? I don't believe it, I don't believe it, Butler Jiang, ask the driver to pick me up, I have to go to the scene and take a look, I will dig, I will dig it myself, I have to dig my granddaughter out——"

The elderly man was crying and sobbing, which made Butler Jiang's eyes red and he couldn't help but turn his head away.

His emotions became more and more agitated, his chest heaving violently, every breath became short and rapid, veins bulged on his forehead, but he was determined to go to the archaeological site.

Butler Jiang quickly calmed the old man down: "Sir, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. It is true that the second young lady was buried in the underground palace, but I saw President Jiang at the scene and added his contact information. President Jiang said that he found a more professional rescue team and detected that the second young lady is not in danger of life at present."

"Really?!" Jiang Bolin clenched his fists even tighter, and repeated in disbelief: "Is Ayao really not in danger of death now?!"

Butler Jiang nodded seriously: "It's true. President Jiang told us not to panic and wait patiently. If there is any news, he will inform us as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, okay." Jiang Bailin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He fell weakly on the raised backrest, and his hands and feet began to feel numb belatedly. "Chairman Jiang's network of contacts is wider than our family's. His news must be true. I believe him, I believe him. A Yao is fine, I believe him..."

Jiang Bailin murmured to himself as if to comfort himself, but soon he could no longer resist the fatigue and fell asleep again.

No matter how slow Jiang Tao was, he knew something was wrong. His father and Butler Jiang's words clearly meant that Zhong Yao seemed to be buried somewhere, and his life was even in danger.

Jiang Tao felt extremely embarrassed when he thought about how he had just said bad things about Zhong Yao in front of the old man. Didn't he already plan to compensate Zhong Yao? Why did he always subconsciously blame her every time something happened?

Taking another look at Tongtong who was acting well-behaved beside him, Jiang Tao seemed to have found an excuse for himself.

It was because Zhong Yao was too unruly, she had her own ideas and opinions, and was always unwilling to bow down to him as her father, so she was not as considerate and sensible as the well-behaved Tongtong.

But as a parent, wasn't everything he did for her own good? The child always didn't appreciate it, so how could he blame him as a father for not loving her?

Jiang Tao pulled Butler Jiang aside and asked in a low voice: "Butler Jiang, what is going on? Where is Zhong Yao going? How can it involve security issues?"

Tong Wan and Jiang Yuetong also came over, and three pairs of eyes looked at Butler Jiang in unison, determined to get an answer from him.

Tong Wan, in particular, wished that Zhong Yao would die quickly so that no one could threaten her with the past anymore.

Jiang Yuetong was a little conflicted. Although she hated Zhong Yao and hoped that he would disappear from the Jiang family, she had never thought that she would die.

The fact that she has a twin sister has spread throughout the school, and everyone wants to meet her sister after school starts. As a result, Zhong Yao took the initiative to change classes and asked for an indefinite long vacation. Everyone came to ask her why Zhong Yao didn't go to school.

Why ask her? How can she know why her father doesn't even know!

But, in the current situation, it seems like something unexpected happened to Zhong Yao?

Butler Jiang glanced at Jiang Bailin lying on the hospital bed with a conflicted look, then looked at the anxious family of three.

In addition to the sincerity on Jiang Tao's face, Jiang Yuetong was more curious about the situation, and Tong Wan's eyes were full of gloating.
