Xu Ruotong was a little bewildered, "Why?"
The other party responded with a hint of mockery, “Don’t you know?”
Xu Ruotong was even more puzzled, "How would I know?"
The other party paused for a moment, his tone of teasing intensifying, "In that case, I suggest you immediately look it up online."
Standing by the roadside for a while, she promptly opened the browser on her mobile phone.
Looking at the images and various comments on the mobile screen that made one's nose bleed, her mind was blank for a while, then her body started to tremble.
No, the woman in those bed photos, how could it be her?
She had never thought of sexually bribing any backstage judges!
This was a vile, filthy, and sleazy frame-up!
She picked up her phone and was about to call that assistant when her phone rang again.
"Are you Xu Ruotong?" came the voice of a man, strictly business.
Xu Ruotong's heart skipped a beat; a bad feeling made her voice tremble slightly.
"Yes, I am!"
"Your father, Xu Yufeng, was in a car accident an hour ago, and he's currently being rescued at the First People's Hospital! You should hurry over."
With a "plop", Xu Ruotong's mobile phone dropped vertically onto the ground.
The competition doesn't matter anymore! The slander and defamation, whatever means they use, doesn't matter either!
As long as Dad is fine, everything will be okay!
After an anxious wait of more than seven hours, the light above the operating room door was finally turned off. The door of the operating room finally opened.
Xu Ruotong rushed over quickly, questioning the doctor still wearing a mask with a trembling voice.
"Doctor, how is my dad?"
The doctor, fatigued, took off his mask, "The surgery went okay! But the patient's injuries are truly severe, and he was hurt in the head."
Xu Ruotong found her head buzzing, she could barely hear what the doctor was saying, only vaguely heard the last sentence.
"You should be prepared, there's a high chance the patient won't wake up."
The world felt like it was collapsing! Everything plunged into a heavy dizziness.
Xu Ruotong's vision turned black and she fainted on the spot!
Half a month later --
In the bustling Yunhai Airport lobby, the latest information was being broadcasted.
"Due to weather conditions, the following flights may be affected and delayed for approximately 1 hour..."
Uncle Huang muttered frustration: "Dammit!"
Xu Ruotong glanced at the blue sky and white clouds visible through the glass wall outside but didn't say anything, only offering a rather helpless smile.
Considering they still had to wait for another hour, the two of them simply went into a coffee shop connected to the airport waiting hall and chose a seat by the glass curtain wall.
Ten minutes later, a silver Boeing 767 slowly descended onto the runway.
Uncle Huang sipped his coffee while attentively watching the runway. Upon seeing the plane, his temper flared again.
"Damn, indeed they've cleared the runway for their plane to land."
Xu Ruotong's lips curled again into a helpless smile. She said lightly, "Another world leader visiting?"
Uncle Huang snorted, "World leader my foot." He paused before he added, "However, this person indeed mingles with world leaders like old friends."
As foreign world leaders often visit Yunhai, Xu Ruotong was not particularly interested in them anymore, but she was intrigued by this non-leader who enjoyed the special treatment reserved for world leaders.
"Who is it?"
Uncle Huang glanced in annoyance at the plane that was slowing down on the runway, appearing disgruntled.
"Did you see the logo on the aircraft? Caesar Investment! The newest and stubborn giant rising on Wall Street."
