"Little Flower, do you like Big Sunny?" Little Sunny suddenly leaned close to the puppy's ear and asked in her childish voice.
Little Flower seemed to understand, let out a cheerful cry, and wagged its tail.
"I knew it! Da Qingqing is Qingqing and Xiaohua's older sister!" Xiao Qingqing happily patted Xiaohua's head and giggled.
Just then, a loud bang came from inside the car. The driver slammed on the brakes, and the car lurched forward, shaking Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Hua.
"What's wrong?" Tan Haoyu asked calmly, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.
"Mr. Tan, there's a person lying on the road ahead, covered in blood..." The driver's voice trembled slightly.
Tan Haoyu frowned and coldly ordered, "Take a detour and mind your own business."
However, Xiao Qingqing suddenly stuck her head out of the car window and glanced out, then cried out in alarm, "Dad, that's a big brother! He looks injured!"
Tan Haoyu was slightly taken aback. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Qingqing grabbed his arm anxiously: "Daddy, shall we save him? He looks so pitiful!"
Tan Haoyu remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed and ordered, "Stop the car and take him to the hospital."
The driver paused for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Okay, okay!"
The car slowly came to a stop, and Tan Haoyu opened the door, got out, and went to check.
A boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old was lying in the rain, with multiple cuts on his body. Blood mixed with rainwater flowed on the ground, but he could still be seen to be breathing faintly.
"Dad, will big brother get better?" Little Qingqing leaned out of the car window, her eyes full of worry.
Tan Haoyu turned around and said in a firm tone, "As long as Qingqing wants him to be well, he will be well."
Xiao Qingqing nodded vigorously, her eyes resolute: "I want my big brother to be happy!"
Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, turned around and instructed the driver: "Call an ambulance and take him to the best hospital. Also, notify my private doctor and have him go there immediately."
The ambulance arrived quickly and rushed the boy to the hospital.
Tan Haoyu arranged for the best doctors to provide emergency care, and thanks to the timely rescue, the boy was ultimately pulled back from the brink of death.
Inside the car, Xiao Qingqing hugged Xiaohua and leaned comfortably against Tan Haoyu's chest, whispering, "Daddy, big brother will be alright, right?"
Tan Haoyu gently patted her back, a tender smile playing on his lips: "Of course, he'll be alright. Because it's Qingqing's wish."
Little Qingqing smiled happily, and Little Flower wagged its tail in response.
……
The rain was still drizzling, and the sky outside the window was heavy with dark clouds, as if even the air itself had frozen.
Zhu Ziqing lay in bed, the oppressive atmosphere outside the window making her feel suffocated. She had just taken her medicine, and her body felt weak, but she couldn't close her eyelids.
She turned over, and the image of Xiao Qingqing's beautiful face appeared in her mind. Her round eyes curved into two crescent moons when she smiled, and her voice was soft and sweet, making one want to listen to it again and again.
Thinking of Xiao Qingqing's rich and varied expressions, Zhu Ziqing felt a warm glow in her heart, as if her heart was about to melt.
"Sister Ziqing, you must come to see me tomorrow!" Xiao Qingqing's voice suddenly rang in my mind. It was the soft and sweet voice she spoke when she got off the bus, holding Zhu Ziqing's hand.
A smile unconsciously crept onto Zhu Ziqing's lips. She remembered how little Qingqing didn't want her to leave, following her father, Tan Haoyu, all the way to her doorstep. Those clear eyes were full of expectation, making it impossible for Zhu Ziqing to refuse.
"Pinky promise, you have to come see me in a couple of days!" Little Qingqing held out her little finger, her eyes so earnest it was heartbreaking.
Zhu Ziqing also extended her finger and hooked it with hers, nodding solemnly: "Okay, I will definitely come!"
She closed her eyes, firmly remembering the promise. Xiao Qingqing's soft, sweet voice seemed to still echo in her ears, filling her heart with warmth.
……
Meanwhile, Zhu Shigou, in the next room, was also lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, equally wide awake.
Thinking about what happened during the day, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of worry.
This afternoon, he received a mysterious phone call, which, in just a few minutes, made him fully realize the gap in strength between himself and that mysterious figure.
The other party's casual remark made him realize that if he confronted them head-on, he would undoubtedly lose.
The only thing he could use to control his opponent was that secret. It was his only bargaining chip, his last trump card.
Thinking of Tan Haoyu, Zhu Shigou frowned even more deeply. This young man was exceptionally intelligent and shrewd; he had probably already guessed Tan Haoyu's true intention in bringing Zhu Ziqing back.
Strangely, Tan Haoyu didn't make any move, as if he was waiting for something.
Zhu Shigou knew very well that Tan Haoyu had other plans in mind; he was unwilling to be controlled by others, and he would not easily submit.
The old man of the Tan family still harbored a grudge against him because of what happened many years ago, and wished he could get rid of him as soon as possible.
Now, Tan Haoyu hates Zhu Ziqing so much that he grinds his teeth in hatred.
Zhu Shigou sighed. He knew that he was now caught in the middle.
The Tan family father and son both considered him a thorn in their side, and the only person he could keep them in check was Zhu Ziqing. As long as Zhu Ziqing was still in his hands, they wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.
But if Zhu Ziqing gets into any trouble or is controlled by the Tan family, he will immediately be in dire straits.
Thinking of this, Zhu Shigou felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
He couldn't just sit and wait to die; he had to find a way. He needed more connections and more power to counter the Tan family.
Thinking of this, Zhu Shigou's gaze gradually darkened, and the images of two people appeared in his mind—the two people who were now doing very well in the capital.
"Perhaps I can cooperate with them," Zhu Shigou murmured, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
He knew very well that this was a life-or-death gamble, and the slightest mistake would lead to utter ruin.
But he had no way out and could only take a gamble to win a chance at survival.
