734 Who To Blame? (2/2)

Su Feifei nodded at him, ”Yes, she is safe. She is staying with Darren. But she is pretty shaken up from what she saw so it's better if you take a look at her.”

Ah-Si didn't even hesitate before running away. He knew everyone else was gonna stay here for Xiu, he needed to be there for Nora who was with Darren.

”This went beyond my expectation,” said Xin Zimen in a heavy voice. ”I really underestimated this situation.”

Su Feifei didn't say anything to agree or disagree.

Leaving his brother and his wife here, Xin Zimen went to see inspect everything. First, he checked the vending machine with the poisonous coffee.

”What kind of a poison did they use?” he inquired.

”I've sent the samples to the lab, we'll know soon,” Su Feifei answered.

Then he went to Xiu's room and looked at the 'crime scene' carefully. Seeing so much blood, he looked at Su Feifei again and asked, ”Are you sure Xiu didn't get physically injured?”

”I'm certain,” was Su Feifei's response. ”The blood is Darren's, Ying's, and those attackers.”

”Ying? She is injured?”

Su Feifei told him in detail how Ying was lured out when their first plan failed. And taking advantage of her absence, those people didn't even hesitate before walking into the room as if taking a stroll. She also mentioned Darren fought bravely despite his condition to protect Xiu.

”Is she serious?”

Su Feifei knew he was referring to Ying, so she answered, ”Not really. I think she can manage this much.”

”Is she taking her treatment seriously? Or did she run away as always?”

Su Feifei had a faint bitter smile on her lips seeing his reaction. He did know Ying's habit of running from hospitals. She'd never take her own wounds seriously. Wasn't that the reason, she was banned from field duty recently?

”I think Han Bohai is keeping an eye on her,” replied Su Feifei.

Xin Zimen was silent for a long moment and it made Su Feifei feel anxious. His heavy mood was all too clear to her along with his raging emotions. His eyes were trained on the bed where Xiu had been just this morning when he met her. She was happily talking and enjoying the warmth of family.

In this very room, he hugged her this morning. He so desperately wanted to protect that smile of hers but still, something would get out of his hands. Maybe he really wasn't capable of anything just like his mother used to say.

He silently closed his eyes and sighed out heavily. He knew he was letting his emotions get to him but he couldn't help it either. It wasn't in his own control right now. Just like how this whole situation wasn't in his control. It felt like everything had turned into grains of sand, the more tightly he wanted to hold on to it, the faster everything was slipping away from his grasp.
