"You even know which hospital Xiao Chuan is in. How can you say you had nothing to do with this?!"
Rong Lan rolled her eyes. "The whole circle knows which hospital Chu Chuan is in. It's just that you, Ms. Han, don't have the right channels. Are you coming or not?"
Han Xiaoshuang gritted her teeth. "I'm coming!"
"Okay." Rong Lan took Han Xiaoshuang and hailed a taxi to the private hospital where Chu Chuan was staying. She brought Han Xiaoshuang to the door of Chu Chuan's ward but didn't go in. Given Chu Chuan's current state, he would surely get excited if he saw her. She didn't want to waste her energy talking nonsense with him. Moreover, there were surveillance cameras in the ward. If she wanted to know what they talked about, she could just check the surveillance footage.
Rong Lan sat on the bench outside the ward for half an hour. During this time, she heard faint arguing and the sound of things being thrown inside. She was extremely curious. Just as she was about to get closer to the door to eavesdrop, Han Xiaoshuang ran out crying.
Rong Lan: "???" The little fox, who wasn't prepared, was startled.
Han Xiaoshuang didn't even glance at Rong Lan. She covered her face and ran crying towards the stairs.
Rong Lan was shocked. She was even more eager to know what they had said. But it would be boring to check the surveillance footage alone. She waited until Bai Rongran came back from the neighboring city. Then she dragged her sister Ranran to check the surveillance together.
The half - hour surveillance footage was quite rich in content.
Chu Chuan didn't even call Han Xiaoshuang "Mom" once. He asked her several questions, including whether Rong Lan was present when she made the phone call and whether she knew that Bai Rongran was waiting for him at the milk tea shop. Han Xiaoshuang answered all of them truthfully. It was precisely because of her honest answers that Chu Chuan was convinced that his mother had betrayed him for freedom. As they talked, they quarreled. No matter what reasons Han Xiaoshuang gave, Chu Chuan didn't believe her.
After watching the surveillance footage, Rong Lan yawned. "I think we can move on to the next step. What do you think, Ranran?"
She had achieved her goal.
The next step was to make Chu Chuan disappear from their sight. A simple disappearance wasn't enough. He also had to suffer a great deal in a place where they couldn't see him.
"I also think it's time. Keeping him in the hospital makes us worry about him running away. It's annoying." Bai Rongran said with a cold face as she took out her phone and made a call.
Rong Lan also took out her phone, but she was sending a message to her brother, telling him that she was going out for dinner with Ranran again tonight.
Less than an hour after Bai Rongran finished the call, a special vehicle from the mental hospital came to pick up Chu Chuan.
Chu Chuan couldn't even escape. He was still in so much pain that his whole body was numb. Two medical staff held him down and carried him onto the vehicle. All he could do was shout and scream.
Bai Rongran and Rong Lan didn't go with the special vehicle. Instead, they drove their own car to the mental hospital.
Since they had called ahead, by the time the two sisters arrived at the mental hospital, Chu Chuan had already been settled in.
Rong Lan watched with a smile as her sister Ranran stuffed a bank card to the dean and told the dean to ask the doctors to "take good care" of Chu Chuan. This "good care" included daily meals and outdoor activities. She thought that if she asked a little ghost to go and check on Chu Chuan next time, he might go crazy. After all, Chu Chuan's psychological defense was already fragile, and with the special "care" in the mental hospital...
It would be hard for Chu Chuan not to go crazy.
"Ms. Bai, do you want to take a last look at him? The next time you see him, he may not be in his right mind." the dean asked.
Bai Rongran hesitated for a moment but finally nodded. "Let's go and take a look."
"Okay. I'll ask a nurse to take you there." The dean called the nurse through the internal phone and asked the nurse to take Bai Rongran and Rong Lan to see the newly admitted patient.
The nurse led them into the ward and then left.
To facilitate the doctors' "care" for Chu Chuan, Bai Rongran had arranged a single - person ward for him.
As soon as Rong Lan entered, she saw that Chu Chuan's hands and feet were tied up. Presumably, it was to prevent him from running away, and since no sedatives or other such drugs had been given to him, this simple and crude method had to be used.
"Chu Chuan." Bai Rongran still didn't get too close. She stood far away and coldly looked at the man full of hatred in his eyes. It was impossible for her not to be disappointed. If Chu Chuan had ever regretted or reflected on his actions, she wouldn't have gone this far. She would at least have let him off. But all she saw in his eyes was hatred. He hated her for taking revenge on him and ruining his life, but he never reflected on the fact that he had also destroyed something very important to her.
"Bai Rongran! In your eyes, our relationship can't stand the test at all!" Chu Chuan said with a desolate tone.
Bai Rongran sneered. "Test? You did such disgusting things. Do you still expect me to love you unreservedly? Chu Chuan, I love you, but I'm not stupid."
Rong Lan quietly accompanied her sister Ranran without saying a word.
Her intuition told her that after this meeting, her sister Ranran would be able to completely say goodbye to the past.
"I came to see you for no other reason. I just want to tell you that you can stay here at ease. I've paid the hospitalization fee for ten years in one go." Bai Rongran's eyes were filled with boundless coldness. "Also, I'll tell you one month in advance. Happy New Year."
She believed that without Chu Chuan, her New Year would surely be a happy one.
After saying that, Bai Rongran pulled Rong Lan and turned around to leave.
The two walked silently from the ward to the first floor. When they got outside, Bai Rongran suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "Rong Lan, didn't you tell me before that you were investigating the truth about the baby - switching incident back then?"
Rong Lan didn't expect Bai Rongran to suddenly ask this question. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and put her arm around her sister Ranran's shoulder. "Yes. My employee told me that he will probably get the final result before the Chinese New Year."
Bai Rongran frowned. "Remember to tell me when you get the result. No matter what it is, let me know."
"Of course!" Rong Lan agreed with a smile. "I think it will be a good result. Moreover, I still want to use this result to ease the relationship between the two families."
The little fox with special abilities was full of confidence.
And as it turned out, Wang Tong didn't disappoint her.
The day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Rong Lan received a compressed file sent by Wang Tong. Before she had a chance to open it, she received another compressed file named "Investigation Result" from her bed - ridden brother.
When she received the second compressed file, she was sitting on the edge of the bed. She watched as her brother tapped a few times on the tablet screen and forwarded the compressed file to her, but he didn't open it himself.
"Brother, aren't you going to take a look?" Rong Lan stirred the ginger soup in the bowl and didn't even pick up her phone.
Chu Hengyuan smiled, reached out to take the bowl that the little girl was holding, and said, "This is something related to Lanlan. Lanlan can take a look first. I'm not in a hurry."
