"How ridiculous! This case has already been thoroughly investigated before, why are we investigating it now?"
"Someone recently presented new evidence that points the finger at Mr. Bai. So..."
Bai Qingrang frowned, stood by his side with his hands behind his back, and remained silent. It was not until Lanting became emotional that he put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "Don't worry, since the matter has already happened, we have to sort it out."
Lan Ting held his hand tightly, refusing to let go. "I have a very bad feeling. I always feel that after this trip, I don't know when I will be able to come out again."
How could Bai Qingrang not know that this time someone was clearly targeting him? He just said, "The truth about things I didn't do will be revealed sooner or later. They will find out for themselves."
"Mr. Bai, please come in." The man in uniform opened the car door himself, looking very respectful.
Lan Ting and Xia Xingchen followed with concern. The other party stopped them, "Madam, Miss Xia, please don't make things difficult for us. We are all law-abiding people."
Lan Ting frowned, glared at him, and finally said, "Take good care of her. If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible!"
"Of course. You can rest assured." Although he answered like this, it was quite perfunctory. He was just doing his duty as instructed by someone.
… … … … … …
Bai Qingrang was taken away.
The peace just now was broken in an instant. Who would still be in the mood to stay in this small town
The three of them immediately boarded the plane and flew directly to Kyoto.
Along the way, Lan Ting was sympathetic, staring at the sky outside the window. Xia Xingchen was also flustered, but she didn't dare to show it in front of her mother, for fear that she would be infected by her emotions. She patiently comforted her: "Don't worry too much, wait until we get back to Kyoto and find out the situation first."
Lan Ting sighed, "I'm worried about your father's health. He's not in good health. If he goes in, I'm afraid he'll be in great danger."
As Lanting spoke, he choked up.
When she took out the plum blossom ring from her bag, her eyes were suddenly covered with a thin layer of mist. Just an hour ago, she even felt that she had grasped the happiness of this life.
But right now...
Does God really not want them to be together
… … … … …
When we arrived at Zhongshan, the old house had already received the news. The old man had gone out early to deal with the matter.
Lan Ting did not stay long and went straight back to the Lan family.
When she arrived at Lan's house, Yun Xiang was sitting on the sofa knitting a scarf for Lan Ye. Seeing Lan Ting coming in, she quickly stood up and greeted him, "Sister, you're back."
"Where's Lan Zhan?"
Yun Xiang pointed upstairs with his chin, "I don't know what happy event the father and daughter have today, they are so happy. They are whispering upstairs!"
Before Yun Xiang could finish his words, Lan Ting had already hurried upstairs.
Just as I reached the door of the study, I heard Lan Ye's chuckle coming from inside, "Dad, you are still the wisest."
"Now you know how to praise me. That was not what you said in the hospital that day." Lan Zhan was naturally happier when he saw his daughter was in a good mood. He spoke with full energy and said, "You have to promise Dad that no matter what happens in the future, you will not do that kind of thing to scare me and your mother like you did last time!"
"I understand." Lan Ye smiled sweetly, begging for obedience, "I won't dare to do it again. Is that okay?"
"What are the father and daughter talking about so happily? Why don't you tell me and talk to me!" The door of the study was suddenly pushed open and Lan Ting came in.
Seeing her, Lan Zhan and his wife were both surprised for a moment. Then, Lan Zhan patted his daughter who was lying on his back and said, "Ye Ye, go out first. I have something to talk to your aunt."
"Okay." Lan Ye pursed his lips, glanced at Lan Ting, and finally went out.
"Did you do this?" Lan Ting immediately scolded as the door was closed.
Lan Zhan did not hide it, but just took the brush and started writing leisurely.
"Sister, don't forget, you are from our Lan family. Do you think it's justified to confront your own brother just because an outsider came to question me?"
Lan Ting was indifferent, but stepped forward, pulled the pen out of his hand, and threw it aside. "You abused your power and wrongly accused a good person. How can this be justified?"
The brush made a 'bang' sound on the huge desk, and the black ink on the brush tip flew everywhere. Several spots splashed on Lan Zhan's face.
The ease and contentment he had just shown disappeared instantly, his face turned cold, and he raised his hand to wipe the ink off his face. He glanced at Lan Ting, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
He said coldly: "It was the Bai family who was unjust first. Bai Yeqing first disregarded my position and resigned without permission; then he disregarded my daughter's life and death, which was ruthless and unrighteous. I am just fighting back now!"
"What is your purpose in doing this?!"
"Just wait and see. In a few days, we will know the purpose. However, I don't know if Mr. Bai can survive these few days." Lan Zhan picked up the pen again and said calmly, "I just got the news that he fainted as soon as he got off the car today. There is a doctor watching him now, I am afraid..."
Having said this, he paused, then shook his head, "It's hanging."
Lan Ting took a deep breath, anxious and angry, unable to control his emotions. He raised his hand and slapped Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan didn't dodge.
The slap was a solid one, and it made a loud and crisp sound in the study.
Red marks from the slap immediately appeared on his face, which was quite shocking to see.
"You slapped someone in the face because of an outsider." Lan Zhan lowered his eyes, his tone cold.
"If..." Madam Lanting took a deep breath, "If something really happens to him this time, I will not let you down with just one slap, I will give you ten slaps!"
Lan Zhan's face was tense, and he didn't reply to her words. He just slowly put down the brush and coldly ordered her to leave. "Sister, please go out. I have other things to do. I won't keep you here."
Lan Ting glared at him angrily and turned to leave. However, after taking only two steps, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. There was a feeling of depression there that never dissipated.
"Hmm..." She groaned, covered her chest, and took a step with difficulty.
Lan Zhan saw something, his brows tightened, he pondered for a moment, and finally took a step forward.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Go away!" Lan Ting pushed him away with a cold face, "I don't need your fake kindness!"
Lan Zhan clenched his hands in silence.
He let go of Lan Ting, but unexpectedly, as soon as Lan Ting opened the door and walked out, he felt his legs go weak, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
