"He hasn't woken up yet."
Bai Xue frowns.
"CEO Bai, don't worry. The doctor says he is no longer in critical condition. It's just a matter of time before he wakes up." Xu Qiming thinks that instead of worrying about Su Yan, she should worry more about herself.
Bai Xue is silent for a moment, then says, "Go find a person named Qiao Tian at this club and ask him to meet me."
Xu Qiming can't find Qiao Tian, but Bai Xue still meets up with Qiao Tian.
"Are you asking for my help?" Qiao Tian lounges, as nonchalant as if he is at his own home rather than a prison, with their family's cop Yang Minhan by his side.
"Yes." Bai Xue did call him in order to seek his help.
"Don't worry, Bai Xue. I will find the real murderer and clear your name!" Before Qiao Tian can say anything, Yang Minhan has taken the initiative to promise.
A flippant yet indulgent smile curves up on Qiao Tian's face.
"That's not the help I was asking for."
Qiao Tian and Yang Minhan look surprised.
"I was hoping you could arrange for more people to protect Su Yan." Despite the protection provided by Su Dongkun, Bai Xue is still worried, particularly given her suspicion that Su Ruohan is the true culprit.
"Bai Xue, you're in this mess and you're still thinking about him! He has lots of people protecting him, he's not going to die!" Yang Minhan thinks Bai Xue is being foolish, still worrying about Su Yan at a time like this.
Qiao Tian laughs approvingly, never would he expect anything less from Bai Xue.
"Rest assured, both of you will be okay!"
At the hospital...
"Dad, you need to go home, you can't stay up late. I will stay here and watch." Su Ruohan tells Su Dongkun to leave.
"You're going to watch him?" Su Dongkun sneers coldly. Is she trying to lead the lamb to the slaughter?
"Dad, what's with your expression and what do you mean!" Su Ruohan retorts angrily.
"Don't you understand what I mean? Have you forgotten what I said?" Su Dongkun finds his daughter very frustrating. He is getting old and wants his children near him. Among his three children, only she is left. Despite her past mistakes, he still provides her with a wealthy life, and even promises to leave part of Su's to her and her son. But all she does is one foolish thing after another!
"Dad, you're not suspecting me of poisoning him, are you!" Su Ruohan raises her voice.
"If not you, then who?" Su Dongkun retorts coldly.
"Of course it's not me!" Su Ruohan denies without hesitation.
"If it's not you, why do you look so guilty!" Bai Xue noticed her guilt, and so did he.
"My guilt is due to the fact that I blamed Bai Xue without evidence!"
"Xiao Han, if you would admit your mistake and promise not to do such foolish things again, I would consider giving you a second chance." Su Dongkun is a ruthless man, but he can't bear to be cruel to his own daughter.
"Dad, it really wasn't me!" Su Ruohan is so desperate that she wants to swear it on her life.
Su Dongkun stays silent, obviously not believing her.
"Dad, I know you're suspecting me because of what happened before. I already explained that I was misguided and fooled into tampering with Yan's car brake. I regretted it so much afterwards and I know I was stupid. But this time it's really not me, I'm not that stupid!"
Seeing her in such a rush to prove her innocence, Su Dongkun wasn't as certain as before.
He knows his daughter is somewhat capable, the subtle method of this unlikely event does not seem to be something that she could come up with.
"You go home too! Someone is watching over him here," he still doesn't trust her.
"Dad, even if I'm stupid, I wouldn't be so stupid as to harm him while I'm watching over him!" Su Ruohan retorts exasperatedly.
