Chapter 548: Chapter 548

Sounds were fuzzily intermittent next to his ear. First, there was the sound of a series of hurried footsteps that seemed to fade away, then another set of hurried footsteps came rushing towards him.

At that time, he didn’t know what crossed his mind, let alone dare to confirm what he himself had uttered.

All he knew was that when a figure loomed large in his pupils, he parted his lips yet didn’t see clearly the person in front of him, but it was a fleeting image in his mind that made him shout out a word, and with that, he passed out entirely.

Perhaps, after a long while,

he became aware of the heavy weight of his body from the haze of unconsciousness and soon began to gradually regain consciousness. Next to him, the young nurse’s voice was filled with a tearful joy as she said to him, "Dr. Ou, are you awake? — Professor Tang, Dr. Ou is awake!"

Tang Sili came over, shone a flashlight into both of his eyes, and then smiled at him, saying, "It’s good you’re awake. You’re very lucky—it’s only a concussion."

Ou Yanan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at him, "Professor, was it you who saved me?"

He seemed to remember that at the last moment, the person who walked up to him and looked down was indeed Tang Sili.

Logically, Tang Sili wasn’t on duty tonight, so why would he follow him? Could it be that like himself, he had sensed Su Yide’s treachery?

Tang Sili sent the nurse away, slipped his hand into his lab coat pocket, and said to him, "Mrs. Xiao asked me to keep an eye on you. Seeing Dr. Su doing such a thing was truly unexpected."

So that meant Tang Sili had been following him, not Su Yide. Updates are released by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Mrs. Xiao, was it her? Was she always concerned about his safety?

It made him think of the last time she ran up to fight over a knife with someone else, completely forgetting her own danger.

Ou Yanan felt a wave of dizziness.

Seeing him recall the events, Tang Sili said, "Take it slow, you should rest now. Although it’s just a concussion, you still need to lie down for a few days."

"He ran away. When I saw you fall down the stairs, your life was definitely more important than his, so I didn’t chase after him. However, it’s all right; the police have already sealed off the city," Tang Sili said with a hint of emotion, stroking his chin, as if he hadn’t expected Su Yide to be foolish enough to be used as a pawn and become a murderer, ruining his life.

Ou Yanan supported his head and insisted on sitting up, saying, "He must have been instigated by someone, I just don’t know who."

Tang Sili looked at him, apparently uninterested in this question, his gaze slowly sweeping over his somewhat pale complexion, saying, "Although Mrs. Xiao had instructed me, you are my student. If you were to get into any trouble, it would be troublesome for me too. Doesn’t your mother also care about you a lot?"

Whether Tang Sili meant anything by this or not, Ou Yanan’s phone began to ring. When Tang Sili helped him press the button and handed it to him, Ou Yanan discovered it was a call from his mother’s secretary.

"Young Master, didn’t Madam take last night’s flight back?"

What, his mother didn’t return to Hong Kong last night?

"You wait a moment, I’ll make a call to inquire."

"No, there’s no need, Young Master, I can ask myself. Madam might have had some things to attend to and took a detour somewhere else. I heard Madam say she was going to visit an old friend," it seemed as if the secretary suddenly realized she shouldn’t have asked Ou Yanan this question, as if it were an error.

Ou Yanan listened as the other party hung up in a hurry and looked down at his own phone, silent.

Without knowing when, Tang Sili had already walked away.
