Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1435: Bandage Your Wounds

"Are you all right? If there’s anything wrong, please don’t hold it in. I’ll call an ambulance for you right now."

A sanitation worker quickly took out his phone, but Xiao Zhen grabbed his hand: "No need to call an ambulance. The People’s Hospital is only about a thousand meters away from here, but my car broke down, and my daughter is sick. Could you please take us both on your electric bike? We’re really in a hurry."

The sanitation worker nodded quickly, cleared off all the brooms from his bike to make room for two seats, and laid his clothes over them. These two looked wealthy or influential, and the bike must be quite expensive.

At this moment, the traffic police had arrived and stopped in front of Xiao Zhen, as everyone involved in an incident needed to be investigated.

"Please show your driver’s license. The situation just now was extremely critical, and we’re truly sorry, but you’ll need to come with us."

Hearing the officer’s words, Xiao Zhen looked at his unconscious daughter in his arms. Although she had no visible wounds, he was worried something might happen, so he didn’t argue with the officer.

"Please step aside, my daughter is ill. I need to take her to the hospital right now. I am Chairman Xiao of the Xiao Group, and I will cooperate with any investigation. Also, be sure to investigate the vehicles behind us thoroughly."

Seeing it was Chairman Xiao, the officer was no longer worried, knowing that a person of his background wouldn’t flee over such a matter.

"We’re truly sorry, Chairman Xiao. We’ll take you and your daughter directly to the hospital in our car, and handle any matters later. However, you’ve clearly been harmed this time, and our..."

"Then hurry up! Why waste words here? My daughter can’t wait any longer."

Xiao Zhen shouted, thanked the sanitation worker, and got into the police car.

When they arrived at First Renmin Hospital, Xiao Zhen thanked them and quickly carried Xiao Keyi inside.

Xiao Keyi was unconscious due to a fall, but at least she wasn’t complaining about feeling unwell.

After handing Xiao Keyi to the doctors, Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he’d brought her to the hospital safely. If not for the railing’s reduced impact today, they might have ended up in the water. Fortunately, the railing had been reinforced this year and was even higher, thanks to investments from the Xiao Group.

Luckily, the Xiao Group increased its investment in this bridge construction this year; otherwise, they might have been the unlucky ones.

With someone already attending to Xiao Keyi, Xiao Zhen sat on a hospital bench when a passing nurse noticed the wound on his head and grew worried.

"Chairman Xiao, let me take care of your wound. The doctors are with your daughter, and everything will be fine. You shouldn’t worry too much."

The nurse meant well, but Xiao Zhen, since his daughter nearly got into trouble with Su Zining’s interference, was reluctant to leave her in others’ care. If he left, who knew what Su Zining might do?

"It’s okay, I’m watching over her here. Once my daughter wakes up, I’ll tend to my wound."

Xiao Zhen dismissed the nurse’s concern, ignoring his own head wound.

When Xu Ke rushed to the hospital and inquired at the reception, he was directed to Xiao Zhen, and upon seeing the wound on his head, was taken aback. Was this still the unreasonable Chairman Xiao?

Seeing Xu Ke, Xiao Zhen glared.

"Chairman Xiao, what happened to you?"

Hearing Xu Ke’s question, Xiao Zhen felt as if this young guy was mocking him.

"Can’t you see? I got into an accident on the way to the hospital. But don’t worry, the airbag deployed just in time, so Yiyi wasn’t hurt; she’s just being treated now."

Hearing about the treatment, Xu Ke was alarmed.

Already in treatment, how could it not be serious? And it was clear Xiao Zhen was lying with a straight face.

"What exactly happened?"

Not taking no for an answer, Xu Ke was persistent in asking what happened.

"Alright, stop talking for a moment. I’ll call a nurse to bandage your head wound. It seems like just a superficial injury, but bandaging it would be reassuring."

Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Xiao Zhen felt puzzled. What did he mean by "just a superficial injury, not important?" After all, he was Chairman Xiao. However, when seeing Xu Ke going to call a nurse, Xiao Zhen felt a bit comforted.

Xu Ke found a nurse and brought her to Xiao Zhen.

"Your wound is just a superficial one. It will be fine with a little bandage, but make sure to avoid water and spicy food for the next few days."

After some instructions, the nurse left, leaving Xu Ke looking at Xiao Zhen’s head, which was now bandaged like a mummy.

"Alright, now tell me, what exactly happened?"

Although still annoyed, Xiao Zhen appreciated the fact that Xu Ke prioritized bandaging his wound before asking about the incident, slightly warming his heart towards him. However, Xiao Zhen wouldn’t admit it.

With a proud tilt of his chin, he expressed an unwillingness to speak, but when Xu Ke looked at him again, Xiao Zhen slumped.

"Alright, here’s what happened. I had Manager Zhang look for evidence of plagiarism from a subsidiary today. If he couldn’t find it, he’d have to leave the company and resign. But after work, Manager Zhang found nothing and wasted my time."

"Of course, I fired him. Then I had a friend invite me to dinner, but instead of going, I arrived home to find Su Zining drugging my daughter and trying to assault her. Luckily, I noticed in time, allowing Yiyi to escape."

"But on the way to the hospital with Yiyi, we got into an accident. A big truck pushed me out. If not for the railing, we would’ve ended up in the water."

Xiao Zhen described the events, deliberately altering the details for fear of the young guy laughing at him for his earlier oversight.

But even so, he couldn’t believe Su Zining hadn’t targeted Wang Cuixia but instead reached out to Xiao Keyi, right at Xiao Mansion. It was outrageous, and luckily Xiao Zhen found out, or else who knew what might have happened tonight.

"Thank you!"

Hearing Xu Ke’s thanks, Xiao Zhen felt a sense of accomplishment, like he had done a good deed and awaited praise.

"Don’t mention it. After all, Yiyi is my daughter—"
