Nan Zhenting gave him a cold glance, "Or do you want to be the patriarch?"
Third Uncle was so frightened by Old Master Nan's icy gaze that he instinctively took a step back.
"Whether Nan Xiao can be saved or not, he still has me as his father and his wife and children. You don't need to worry about family matters!" Nan Zhenting finished, took Chaochao's hand, and led the way into the elevator under everyone's watchful eyes.
Seeing her brother and grandfather enter the elevator, Mumu cried and pointed towards the elevator to Nan Qiyue.
Nan Qiyue understood, hugged her, and followed them in.
The others entered other elevators one after another.
The group quickly returned to the villa on the mountainside.
After Nan Zhenting saw everyone settled, he called Lan Haolin into the study alone.
The two talked in the study for a long time, and when they came out, Lan Haolin's mood had obviously improved a lot.
The Lan brothers were all in the living room. Seeing their father come out, they quickly got up and surrounded him.
Lan Haolin glanced at his sons and finally his gaze fell on Lan Muwei's face, "Why are you still here? Hurry back and accompany Hanyi!"
"Hanyi is out of the hospital. Yu Fan just brought Hanyi over. He's with Chaochao and Mumu right now."
"He's out of the hospital so early? Did Director Hao approve it?"
"Yes, otherwise he would have been discharged tomorrow or the day after."
Lan Haolin looked at his arm.
Lan Muwei quickly said, "My injury has healed. Dad, what do we do next?"
"Tomorrow, you guys will accompany me and your Uncle Nan to see Chaochao at Nan's. Before your sister returns, we must hold Nan's for her."
"Okay, I just don't know when Xi'er will be back. We've been trying to contact her all day, and her phone has been off."
Lan Haolin sighed, "She doesn't want us to find her, so it's useless for us to look. Nan Xiao is in trouble, she couldn't possibly not know. If she wanted to come back, she would have by now."
"You bunch of brats! You hid such a big thing from me!" Elder Hong's scolding voice came from outside the door.
Sanwan and the others quickly went out to greet him.
Elder Hong kicked Sanwan, who was in charge, and then cursed as he walked in.
"Where is that girl, Yu Xi? Hasn't she returned yet?"
Nan Zhenting heard her voice and quickly came out of the study.
"Senior Brother, why are you here? Sister-in-law hasn't recovered yet."
Elder Hong glared at him, "Someone is taking care of her. How could you not tell me about such a big event?"
"You have a lot going on, and I didn't want to drag you into it..."
"Such a big event, can you hide it if you want? What's the situation with Nan Xiao? What exactly happened to Yu Xi, what big thing happened, why isn't she back?"
Nan Zhenting sighed and briefly explained the situation to him.
After Elder Hong listened, he lost his previous spirit and sat down, holding his head.
Nan Zhenting looked at Lan Haolin with some guilt.
Lan Haolin hesitated, then finally hardened his heart and shook his head.
Nan Zhenting looked at Sanwan, "Yu Feng, we don't need you here for now. Your main task is to protect yourselves and your master's family. Don't give the other side any opportunity."
Hong Yin'an parked his car and walked in quickly, "Uncle Master, I'll take care of my parents, so there won't be any problems. Now you're short-handed, let them stay and help you. Also, Shi Kuo and Shi Han, I'll take them to the hospital to stay later, so you don't have to worry about taking care of them."
Nan Zhenting sized up Hong Yin'an, "Since you call me Uncle Master, then listen to me. The people Yu Xi cares about most are the ones present. She's not here now, I have to protect you for her. Hongmen disciples are responsible for protecting my Senior Brother and Sister-in-law. Shi Kuo and Shi Han will stay here because there is no place safer than the villa on the mountainside. For the next week, let the tutor teach them at home. I believe that within a week, things will calm down. Also, Guo Liang, your family of three should move here too. Mumu is emotionally unstable now, she needs you."
Luo Guoliang nodded, "If you hadn't said it, I would have wanted to stay. We will take good care of the two children, so you can rest assured and do what you need to do."
Nan Zhenting nodded gratefully, then turned to look at the mother and daughter of the Duan family, "Third Brother Duan went to find Yu Xi. When he left, he told me to ask you and your daughter not to move out in a hurry, lest any accidents happen."
Duan Yuting immediately expressed, "Okay, my daughter and I won't leave. We'll stay and help take care of the children."
"I thank you all here." Nan Zhenting clasped his fists to show his gratitude.
Duan Senze stood up and returned the salute, "Uncle Nan, if you need anything from the Duan family, just ask."
Nan Zhenting raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Good, I will tell you when I need it, but not for now. I just need to stabilize Nan's and the Nan family for now. Other matters will be handled by Zicheng."
Elder Hong looked up, "Is Nan Xiao really beyond saving?"
Nan Zhenting clenched his fist, "That kid is lucky. Wasn't he saved by Yu Xi when he was a vegetative last time?"
"But the key now is that Yu Xi is not here!"
"Yu Xi is not here, but Sixth Brother and Huo Ding are. It's the same."
Elder Hong sighed, "It can only be this way. I'll go up and see the two children."
Lan Haolin glanced at Elder Hong, took out his phone, and dialed, "Wan'er, have you contacted Second Brother?"
Tang Wan's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "I've contacted him. He has already set off for China. He will arrive by dawn tomorrow. Tell me the truth, is Nan Xiao's injury very serious?"
"Yes, if it weren't very serious, I wouldn't have asked Second Brother to stop looking for Xi'er and rush to China." Lan Haolin hung up the phone with a pang of worry.
Nan Zhenting glanced at him, then quickly looked away.
Elder Hong's footsteps paused slightly, then he went upstairs without looking back.
Two AM.
Huo's Hospital.
A dark figure leaped through the window on the twentieth floor and into the room.
The person on the bed heard the sound and opened their eyes sharply.
The person in black looked at the person on the bed with complicated eyes, then said coldly, "It seems the rumors are false. You are not at death's door!"
"Madam, it's me."
Lan Yuxi's pupils contracted sharply, "How could it be you?! Where is Nan Xiao?"
Nan Er coughed, "You are the Madam, not the Madam's second personality?"
Lan Yuxi sneered, reached out and pulled off his oxygen mask, "Who do you think I am! Hurry up and tell me, where is Nan Xiao? If you don't tell me, I'll send you to hell right now!"
Nan Er sensed the killing intent in her eyes and slowly clenched his hands by his side, "I don't know where the Patriarch is. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I won't resist."
