"The investigation is clear, the truck driver was drunk and it was an accidental car crash," Han Yu replied.
As a police officer and a close friend, Qing Muye naturally believed everything Han Yu said.
Meng Jingwei, however, sighed, "He's seriously injured, is it really okay not to tell Shi Ran?"
"Shi Ran is not in a good state right now either, telling her would only make her worry," Han Yu added, "The first thing he said when he woke up was not to let Shi Ran know. It's evident that he is sincere towards Shi Ran."
Qing Muye smiled, saying nothing.
Perhaps it was because Tang Si, after years of being a playboy, had finally decided to settle down.
The brothers stayed with Tang Si at the hospital. In the afternoon, Tang Si woke up again and chatted with them.
Qing Muye arranged for a helicopter, and the brothers returned directly to a private hospital in Lancheng for Tang Si to continue his treatment.
The car accident had fractured two ribs and caused internal injuries, requiring a period of rest.
At the private hospital, other people came to visit Tang Si one after another. However, the Tang family and Zhao Wuyan did not come to the hospital; they were unaware of his situation.
Shi Ran was also unaware.
As Tang Si's condition gradually improved, he turned on his phone. He saw more than a dozen missed calls from Shi Ran. After some hesitation, he called her back.
Ring, ring, ring—
After a few rings, the call was answered.
"Ran Baoer?" he said, adjusting his tone to appear normal.
"Are you looking for Ran Ran? She's taking a shower."
Just as Tang Si was expecting to hear Shi Ran's voice, a man's voice answered the call.
Tang Si's brow furrowed. He suddenly sat up, but the excessive force caused his chest to ache. "Hiss..." He took a sharp breath and gritted his teeth, asking, "Who are you? Ring, ring, ring..."
Before he could finish his question, the call was hung up.
Tang Si tried to call back, but the phone number seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't get through no matter how many times he tried.
Tang Si was completely unsettled. He immediately got up, changed his clothes, and left the hospital.
Since there was no nurse on duty, no one noticed him leave.
Tang Si drove straight to the apartment complex and went to Shi Ran's apartment. He called out Shi Ran's name while knocking on the door, but there was no response.
Helpless, Tang Si immediately dialed a number, "Help me find Shi Ran's whereabouts immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Tang."
After the other party hung up, Tang Si walked to the stairwell beside the apartment and sat down on the steps, exhausted.
Shortly after, several videos were sent to Tang Si's phone.
The first video showed Shi Ran driving into the underground parking lot of a hotel. In the parking lot, she met a man and rushed towards him, kissing him passionately.
Upon seeing this, Tang Si's pupils widened, and the hand holding his phone clenched tightly.
The scene shifted to the elevator, where their encounter became even more intimate. The man's hand directly reached under Shi Ran's top, and then they entered a hotel room.
According to the video timestamps, when they emerged, it was already the next morning.
By then, Tang Si had clearly seen the man in the video. It was none other than... Yuan Wei!
"How could this happen?"
The sudden turn of events left Tang Si utterly bewildered.
Then came the checkout video. Shi Ran used her ID to check out and then, arm in arm with Yuan Wei, left the hotel with a smile.
The subsequent videos showed Shi Ran and Yuan Wei appearing together, frequenting hospitals, and going to help take care of Yuan Wei's mother.
The last video was taken an hour ago, showing Shi Ran and Yuan Wei checking into the Lanxing Hotel near the hospital.
Seeing this, Tang Si suddenly raised his hand and smashed his phone.
With a bang, the phone shattered into pieces.
He immediately got up, forced himself to his feet, and left the apartment complex, heading straight for the Lanxing Hotel near the Central Hospital.
