Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 277 Tang Cao Was Taken Away in a Sack

The heavy rain keeps raining for several days and finally stops at the weekend. The news channel begins to report that the central government has issued documents and demanded to rectify the city’s drainage system. The people complain bitterly and wish to hand in their opinions to the face of the national leaders.

“You really want to go?” Lang Ruoxian asks Yan Hua.

Yan Hua looks at him. “Of course. Otherwise why should I change clothes?”

Sun Xiaolin will be discharged from the hospital today. Shu Sheng originally arranged her department manager to pick her up, but Yan Hua wanted to meet the girl. Lang Ruoxian sees her insist and finally has to accompany her to go to the hospital.

“Young Master, Madam.” Shu Sheng waits for them at the gate of the hospital. “Sun Xiaolin has some physical problems.”

The doctor puts the examination result in front of them. “The patient has uterine cancer, and the uterus should be removed as soon as possible.”

“Can she be OK after cutting it?” Yan Hua does not know what mood she should have now.

She is combative to meet the enemy but the enemy is unexpectedly going to die...

“Alas, this is difficult to say. Once cancer cells grow crazily in the human body, they will not disappear. We can only say that the best result is that the cancer cells will not spread and will not grow crazily again after the operation.”

Shu Sheng tells Lang Ruoxian that Sun Xiaolin understands her situation and agrees to have the operation.

“Notify her family.” Lang Ruoxian knows that Sun Xiaolin still has a mother. “We will not sign the operation consent form.”

Shu Sheng nods. “Then should we offer help?”

“When her mother arrives, send someone to ask about the situation. If they don’t have enough money to pay, our company can pay for her. The cost will be deducted from her salary when she comes back to work.”

Yan Hua feels that there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, the company is taking risks. No one can guarantee that Sun Xiaolin will be able to come back to work healthily after the operation. The money, frankly speaking, is the subsidy given to her by the company.

“Do you still want to see her?” Lang Ruoxian asks.

Yan Hua wants to see her. She goes to the ward alone.

Sun Xiaolin is lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. Her face with delicate facial features is slightly pale. She slowly opens her eyes when feeling someone’s entrance.

“Hello, I am Tang Duo.” Yan Hua greets her.

Sun Xiaolin is surprised for a moment, and then smiles and sits up. “I know you. Last time Mr. Tang sent me to the hospital, and I met you.”

“Do you know that you are ill?” Yan Hua asks her.

“Well, the doctor told me.” Sun Xiaolin smiles wryly. “I didn’t expect to be so unlucky. Ah, Mrs. Lang, please sit down and talk!”

Yan Hua tells her about the company’s arrangement and asks tentatively. “Do you have any friends other than your mother who need to be notified?”

“No.” Sun Xiaolin glances at her and her eyes flash. “I didn’t go to a local university. My colleagues in the company are not very familiar with me. Besides, I am also ill at ease to bother others because of this kind of disease.”

“Well, have a rest. If you need anything, just tell the company and we will try our best to help you.”

Sun Xiaolin looks grateful. “Thank you, Mrs. Lang!”

Yan Hua walks to the door and Sun Xiaolin suddenly stops her by calling.

“Lang... Mrs. Lang, I... I just want to find a good job and try my best to earn money to support myself and my mother. If I have done anything to offend you, I hope you can forgive me.”

Sun Xiaolin looks at her uneasily. “I... I’ve known what I can do and cannot do.”

“Don’t think much. Treat the disease well. I wish you get well soon!” Yan Hua smiles and turns away.

On the way back, Lang Ruoxian grabs Yan Hua’s hand. “What’s the matter? You are not in good mood when you comes out of the ward.”

“Suddenly I have some reflections on life.” Yan Hua has an expression of having seen all the vicissitudes of life. Lang Ruoxian smiles. “Do you have the reflections that you love me more?”

“I’m so serious, so you should also be serious!” Glaring at him, Yan Hua sighs. “Sun Xiaolin probably regrets.”

Lang Ruoxian doesn’t think so. “She doesn’t’ regret, but knows that what she is going to do can’t be done successfully.”

Tang Yu obviously abandoned her. He not only abandoned her, but also let her abort the child to frame Tang Yao. Sun Xiaolin probably knew that she was abandoned from then on, so she didn’t do anything after the news came out at that time.

“Then why did she still come to the company?” Yan Hua feels that there is something wrong.

Lang Ruoxian hugs her. “Because of fear. Tang Yu must have forced her to come and she could not refuse.”

She is just a mistress abandoned by Tang Yu and of no use. It will be easy for Tang Yu to drive her out of Yanjing. But she also knows that if she really helps Tang Yu do anything, her fate will be miserable.

“No wonder I think that she is a little strange. She has got a cancer, but she still looks relieved.” Yan Hua understands. “Now that she is ill, she has an excuse to disobey Tang Yu’s order.”

No matter whether she can be cured or not, Tang Yu’s order can be delayed for as long as possible. Therefore, this disease undoubtedly saves Sun Xiaolin.

“Why are you so smart!” Yan Hua wants to open the man’s head and sees what is in it.

Lang Ruoxian bows his head and kiss her. “I will have someone watch her. She will not make trouble, but Tang Yu will.”

Later, when Yan Hua takes a video phone call with Bai Susu, Yan Hua mentions the matter. Chang Pei’e hears it and says Amitabha for several times aside, saying that people should not do bad things, or they will be punished sooner or later.

Lang Ruoxian orders someone to keep watching the hospital. Tang Yu really appears on the third day after Sun Xiaolin’s operation. He goes secretly at night. Although it is unknown what they have said, the person reporting the next day says that Sun Xiaolin seems very happy and even her appetite is better.

“It seems that Tang Yu has given up using her.”

Yan Hua is also very happy. Although it is immoral for Sun Xiaolin to be a mistress of Tang Yu, but at the very least she still has human nature and has made a pause on the brink of a precipice.

“Destroy one pawn and there will be a second soon.” Lang Ruoxian’s words make Yan Hua stunned. She stammers to ask him.

“Why... Why is Tang Yu so persistent in sending a spy to our company?”

Lang Ruoxian likes to see this expression of Yan Hua most, which is especially cute. He hugs and kisses her for a long time until Yan Hua gasps and pushes him away.

“We are still in the sitting room! What are you doing?”

“Nobody else is here.” Lang Ruoxian leans in again. “The house maid has been back.”

The kiss continues until they go to bed. The next day Yan Hua wakes up and forgets about the spy. Lang Ruoxian naturally won’t remind her, saving her from being worried.

After the heavy rain, hot summer days begin. The sun scorches the earth outside and there is not a trace of wind but only hotness. Not mention Yan Hua. Even Tang Cao stays at home during the day, waiting for the sun to set before going out to play.

This day until noon he hasn’t come back. Yan Hua also doesn’t think much. Her younger brother goes out just like being lost. He only comes back when he wants to. But in the afternoon, Chen Xiaopang calls Yan Hua and asks where Tang Cao is.

“He’s not with you?” Yan Hua’s heart sinks. “He left yesterday and hasn’t come back yet.”

Chen Xiaopang curses. “Are you sure? Our gathering ended at midnight yesterday. Our driver sent us back. I saw him enter the iron gate of your house with my own eyes.”

Tang Cao must have had an accident.

Yan Hua hangs ups the phone and calls Lang Ruoxian. She tells him the situation and then runs to the security room in the villa area. After listening to her, the manager immediately pulls up the surveillance video of last night. Chen Xiaopang was right. Tang Cao staggered in about 4:00 a.m. and then three men rushed out from the side and took him away in a sack.

“Tang... Miss Tang...” The manager is trembling with fear. This is their dereliction of duty. If anything bad happens to Tang Cao, he will not survive.

Yan Hua also shivers. She holds her hands to calm down herself. After taking a few deep breaths, she asks the manager. “Where is the security guard who was on duty yesterday?”

“I... I’ll find him right away.” The manager reacts and calls the security guard who was on duty last night, but he can’t get through.

He calls another colleague of the security guard in the dormitory. The colleague says that the security guard leaves before dawn, and also asks the colleague to hand in his resignation letter.

It is terrible... The manager is completely shocked. “Tang... Miss Tang, let’s call the police! Call the police!”

“Shut up and don’t call the police!” Yan Hua shouts at him. “Give me the information about the security guard.”

Now they don’t know anything about the situation, how can they call the police rashly? Yan Hua warns the manager again. When Lang Ruoxian calls, she finishes telling him the situation and cries.

“Good girl. Don’t worry. I’ll be home soon.” Lang Ruoxian comforts her. “You’ve done a good job. Now listen to me and go home.”

Yan Hua stumbles to run back home. Chen Xiaopang comes as soon as she sits down. His expression is no better than that of Yan Hua’s.

“Sister, I have already sent someone to look for Tang Cao in the places where he usually goes.”

“It’s no use. He was taken away at the gate of the villa.” Yan Hua cries and says, “He was taken away in a sack.”

Chen Xiaopang is shocked and soon follows Yan Hua to cry. He makes a phone call while crying.

“Tong Yue, Sister said that Tang Cao was kidnapped. I f**king should have sent him into the house, I...”

“Okay, okay, I know.”

Yan Hua never thinks that Lang Ruoxian brings the police when he returns.

“Don’t be afraid.” Lang Ruoxian hugs her as soon as he enters.

Yan Hua cries loudly. “Tang Cao was taken away and three people took him away. The police... The police...”

“Don’t worry. Don’t worry!” Lang Ruoxian sees that she is not able to breathe, so he quickly soothes her back. “I’ve analyzed with the police that it can’t be a kidnapping, otherwise the kidnappers would have called us for ransom.”

Yan Hua sobs. “Then... Then why did they want to catch Tang Cao.”

“There is a situation. Don’t cry. Listen to me slowly, OK?” Lang Ruoxian helps her to sit down on the sofa. The house maid quickly brings out a towel. The police asks Chen Xiaopang at the side about the situation and the manager of the security room is also brought in.

“In general, if it is not kidnapping for ransom, the other party’s aim is not money. Maybe the other party just wants to teach Tang Cao a lesson and takes him away for two days and beats him up.”

Yan Hua’s tears come down again. “How will the other party beat him up? Is he to be locked up? But will they give him food and water?”

“He must have suffered, but at least his life can be guaranteed.” Lang Ruoxian hugs her to coax. “Don’t cry, OK? We still have a lot of things to do now. First of all, we must not let the news out, or Mom and other elders will know.”

Secondly they should send people to look for him. They can’t depend on the police only. What Lang Ruoxian doesn’t dare to say is that if it weren’t kidnapping, except imprisoning and beating, there would be another possibility of killing directly.

He does not rule out this possibility, but he thinks it is unlikely. After all, Tang Cao has such an identity. Unless there is great hatred between the other party and Tang Cao, no one will kill strangers for money.

“How about killers?” Lang Ruoxian has taken efforts to coax Yan Hua to sleep. Chen Xiaopang and Tong Yue who has hurried here have been thinking about clues downstairs.

Lang Ruoxian denies. “Killers are all acting alone. The act of using a sack to take people away is not a style of killers.”
