Rong Lan didn't find anything hard to explain at all. "He's a friend who works in my shop. His name is Si Mo."
Chu Hengyuan's eyes were deep. He took the initiative to reach out his friendly hand to Si Mo. "Hello, Mr. Si. Although it's our first meeting, I'd like to thank you. Thank you so much for allowing your younger brother to be the flower boy at Lanlan's and my wedding."
Seeing Chu Hengyuan's false friendliness, Si Mo secretly complained in his heart, but still maintained his persona of being a man of few words on the surface. He stood up and shook Chu Hengyuan's hand. "Hello. You're welcome, Mr. Chu. I've been good friends with Xiao... Xiao Lan for many years, and my younger brother also has a good relationship with Xiao Lan."
Since Chu Hengyuan imagined that the little flower boy was his younger brother, he was happy to go along with it. Anyway, no one could investigate whether he really had a younger brother or not.
And the look in Chu Hengyuan's eyes clearly showed that he was on guard against him. He always felt that in Chu Hengyuan's mind, he had sacrificed his younger brother to get closer to the little fox, and he was a bad guy with evil intentions towards the little fox.
After shaking hands politely, Si Mo looked at the little fox with pricked-up ears. "Since there's someone to accompany you, I'll go back first."
He had been regarded as a love rival again, and by Chu Hengyuan no less. In this situation, of course, the best thing to do was to slip away. If he stayed here, what if Chu Hengyuan's jealousy got out of control? Although he thought that scene would be quite interesting.
With Chu Hengyuan to accompany her, Rong Lan didn't try to stop Si Mo. She waved at him with a big smile. "Go back. You've had a hard day today."
Si Mo glanced at the little fox's fluffy ears, said nothing more, waved his hand, and walked towards the elevator.
After Si Mo left, Chu Hengyuan gently tapped the little girl on the forehead. "Lanlan, you actually went to confront the kidnappers all by yourself?"
"I wasn't alone!" Rong Lan pulled Chu Hengyuan to sit down. "I brought Si Mo with me. He's very capable! Si Mo and I rescued my biological father without getting a scratch on us!"
If it hadn't been for those little ghosts in the abandoned factory scaring her half to death, her schedule today would have been 100% perfect.
It was because he saw that his little wife was clean and uninjured that Chu Hengyuan wasn't angry. "Lanlan, do you know who planned this kidnapping?" He held her slightly cool fingertips, and a deep look of hatred flashed across his eyes.
On his way to the hospital, he had thought about it all the way but couldn't figure out who could be so stupid. The message she sent him told him that the kidnapped person was her biological father, and his Lanlan had never even met her biological father before. If she had been cruel enough, she could have just ignored it.
Rong Lan didn't notice Chu Hengyuan's expression. "I think it was probably Xie Feng's mother who planned it."
"The mother of the kid we taught a lesson to that day?" Chu Hengyuan recalled the Lady Xie he remembered. Sure enough, no one in this circle was a good person. The Lady Xie he remembered was gentle and graceful. Every time he met her at banquets, she always carried herself with the grace of a noble family. If it was really Lady Xie who did this...
The little fox nodded, and her invisible ears on her head also bent. "I'm 90% sure it was her!"
"If it turns out that she really planned the kidnapping, how do you want to punish the culprit, Lanlan?" Chu Hengyuan asked.
Rong Lan hadn't thought about this question before, but it wasn't hard to come up with an answer. "I can't just beat her up like I did to Xie Feng. So, let's just lock her up. Put her in a mental hospital. That'll solve the problem once and for all."
She knew Chen Hong's secret. Now that Chen Hong had failed this time, she would definitely plan another attempt. If Chen Hong only targeted her and Si Mo and didn't involve innocent people, she might consider playing a few more rounds with her. But Chen Hong had targeted the people around her, and that was something she couldn't tolerate.
She must make sure that Chen Hong lost the chance to do anything.
The mental hospital should be a pretty good destination for Chen Hong. She had always suspected that Chen Hong had some mental problems. Sending her to the mental hospital could also help her get her head checked. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
Chu Hengyuan thought for a moment. "How about I help Lanlan put her in the mental hospital?"
For him, it wasn't difficult to send someone to a mental hospital. He had plenty of methods at his disposal.
"Eh?" Rong Lan's ears twitched, and she looked at him curiously. "How do you plan to do it, brother?"
Was her brother really that capable?
"Let it be a secret for now. I won't tell Lanlan exactly how I'm going to do it because I'm not sure if my method will work." Chu Hengyuan smiled.
"Okay! I'll leave this to you, brother!" Rong Lan suddenly remembered. "Won't you be very busy these days? You have to help me find out the truth and teach the bad guys a lesson and all that..."
"It's okay. I'd just be sitting around at home anyway. I can't even believe that Lanlan trusts me so much." He had been seen as a good-for-nothing for so many years, but only his little wife was willing to leave things to him. He even wondered if she had some strange filter on him.
"Why shouldn't I trust you?" Rong Lan stretched. "My brother is so capable. He will definitely handle things well. My intuition tells me that if you're not sure you can do something, you won't take it on yourself."
Chu Hengyuan sighed softly. "Lanlan really understands me." Just as she said, if he wasn't 100% sure he could complete a task, he would never agree to help someone just to save face.
"Yeah, after all—" Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking in the ward.
Rong Lan was startled. The white fur on her ears fluffed up slightly. She subconsciously stood up and walked into the next ward.
Sure enough, the person lying on the bed had woken up. He propped himself up on one hand and stretched out the other to reach for something on the bedside table. But it seemed that the medicine was still taking effect, and his hand was still trembling. It didn't look like he could hold anything steady.
"Do you want to get something? I'll get it for you." Rong Lan supported his shoulder and gently pushed him back onto the bed, making him lie down properly.
Seeing Rong Lan, Zhang Baiwan was stunned for a moment. He seemed unable to believe that the person standing in front of him was real. His trembling hand rubbed his eyes several times. He rubbed so hard that the corners of his eyes turned red, as if he had been crying. "You..."
His reaction was so exaggerated. Looking at her biological father's incredulous expression, Rong Lan suddenly realized that the first words she had said to him were different from what she had imagined.
She had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet her biological father. She had rehearsed in her mind countless times what she would say when they met, just to make sure everything was perfect and she would appear in front of her father in the best possible state.
But the words she had just said weren't what she had planned.
Chu Hengyuan, who had followed Rong Lan into the ward, reached out and took her hand, silently comforting his little wife who might be nervous.
