Chapter 790 - 783: Defending the Company (Part 2)
When Cheng Gang arrived, Bai Yiran had already calmed down. Just losing contact with Leng Yichen didn’t necessarily mean that something had happened to him.
First, Bai Yiran reported to the police accompanied by Cheng Gang, hoping to contact the police in F Country and the national embassy through the local police, so Leng Yichen’s whereabouts could be found quickly.
With Gao Sheng’s assistance from the police department, they promised to inform Bai Yiran immediately if any first-hand information arose.
While Bai Yiran was anxiously waiting for news from the police and keeping an eye on developments in the news, the news of Leng Liewei’s sudden heart attack and hospitalization arrived as well.
In an instant, Bai Yiran dropped everything else and went to the hospital with Cheng Gang and Li Sha. When they arrived at the hospital, Wang Hai was handling the admission procedures for Leng Liewei. Because of international travel and coincidentally Wang Hai had family matters, Leng Yichen didn’t take him along. Otherwise, there would be two missing persons now.
Seeing Bai Yiran relatively composed, Wang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with such a major event, he was afraid Bai Yiran wouldn’t be able to handle it and would be the first to fall apart.
Leng Liewei had minor heart issues regularly, but he didn’t take them seriously. Once people age, they are bound to have some minor illnesses. This time, hearing the news of Leng Yichen’s disappearance in F Country frightened him, triggering heart problems—not fatal, but surgery was needed.
The Leng Family had few members, and Leng Yichen was the pillar of the entire family. Given Leng Liewei’s age, he immediately collapsed under such circumstances. Suddenly, the entire burden of the Leng Family seemed to fall on Bai Yiran’s shoulders, with an ailing father-in-law in the hospital, two young children, and Leng Yichen’s disappearance, leaving Bai Yiran at the surgery room door somewhat lost.
Qi Hui sat on the chair outside the surgery room, her head bowed, so Bai Yiran couldn’t see her expression, but it was certain that she wasn’t crying. Her hand kept tapping the edge of the chair, producing a small sound, and it took a while before she realized Bai Yiran had arrived.
"You’re here?" Qi Hui looked up at Bai Yiran, her eyes holding a complex mix of emotions that Bai Yiran couldn’t completely understand.
At this moment, the doctor came out of the surgery room, somewhat unhappy, and asked Qi Hui, "How is it? Have the patient’s family members arrived?"
Qi Hui pointed to Bai Yiran, "Over there."
Bai Yiran paused, quickly stepped forward and asked, "What’s the matter, doctor?"
The doctor looked at the fragile woman before him, her pale face still marked with tear stains, her nose and eyes red, clearly indicating she’d been crying.
The doctor presumed that Bai Yiran appearing this way was due to worry over Leng Liewei, so he softened his tone, "What relation are you to the patient?"
"Daughter-in-law," Bai Yiran replied softly.
The doctor’s brow furrowed, "Where is the son?"
Mentioning Leng Liewei’s son made Bai Yiran’s emotions rise again, tears began flowing down. Luckily, Cheng Gang, who came along, quickly intervened, "The son is abroad and temporarily can’t come back, the family is simple, just these people."
"Are there any direct relatives?" The doctor was a bit troubled, "Or it would be good to contact the son."
"The son is currently unreachable, as for direct relatives, there’s my father-in-law’s wife."
Because this surgery was significant, the doctor insisted on having direct family members sign the consent. In a bind, Bai Yiran called over Luna.
