Shao Zhenggang stumbled and fell after only a few steps. The truck ran over his legs!
"Ah!!!"
The agony of his shattered bones made him cry out in terror!
The truck sped away. It all happened in a matter of seconds. Su Ding watched this scene unfold from the cemetery entrance, her heart pounding in her chest!
Blood spilled onto the ground, and his mangled legs were horrifying to behold!
Shao Zhenggang cried out in pain, struggling to breathe, his face covered in tears and sweat. He was unable to move.
Su Ding rushed over and helped support Shao Zhenggang's body.
She quickly dialed the emergency number, her heart beating wildly. She couldn't even bear to look at his legs, which were almost flattened by the truck. He trembled uncontrollably.
Shao Zhenggang eventually succumbed to the excruciating pain and lost consciousness.
The ambulance arrived quickly and carried him onto the vehicle. Su Ding followed close behind, watching the unconscious Shao Zhenggang in the ambulance with great concern and anxiety.
She hoped he wouldn't be in any life-threatening danger.
...
Jin Ye received a call from his bodyguard and also rushed to the hospital.
He had deliberately arranged for Wang Meilan's situation, knowing that Shao Zhenggang, given his nature, wouldn't harm her. However, Wang Meilan had to endure some hardship.
But this car accident...
"Mr. Jin, the car accident was too sudden. It was as if a truck appeared out of nowhere and rammed into Mr. Shao. After hitting him, it didn't stop at all and sped away. The police are now reviewing surveillance footage and found that the truck drove onto the highway outside the city, and the driver abandoned the vehicle and fled." xxs
The bodyguard's words still echoed in his ears. This seemed to be another murder.
Who was behind all this, targeting Shao Zhenggang?
Jin Ye couldn't figure it out. He walked outside the emergency room and saw Su Ding sitting in the corridor, hugging her arms.
"Jin Ye."
Su Ding looked up when she saw him and walked over.
Jin Ye pulled her into his arms. Her hands were ice-cold. Fortunately, it wasn't her who had the accident.
"He's still in surgery."
After Su Ding spoke, Jin Ye pulled her to sit on the long bench to rest.
Jin Ye held Su Ding's cold hand and said in a deep voice, "This incident happened too suddenly. It was a deliberate murder."
Su Ding frowned. "I really can't understand who he offended."
"As far as I know, Shao Zhenggang hasn't made any enemies. This matter is very strange," Jin Ye mused. "Perhaps Shao Zhenggang has been targeted for a long time."
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a coincidence for a truck to appear near the cemetery.
Su Ding rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and leaned her head on Jin Ye's shoulder, not wanting to think about it anymore.
Finally, a nurse walked out from inside.
"Who is the patient's family member?"
"Nurse, how is he?" Su Ding stepped forward to ask.
"His life is saved, but his legs will need to be amputated. Family members, please come with me to sign."
After the nurse finished speaking, she led Su Ding to the next room to sign.
Jin Ye had his subordinates handle the payment while he accompanied Su Ding, waiting for her to finish signing.
Finally, the surgery ended.
Shao Zhenggang was pushed into the intensive care unit after waking from anesthesia. The part of his legs above the knee had been amputated, and the wounds were bandaged with white gauze.
All the glory of the past twenty-plus years had led to this end.
Su Ding looked at the scene, her heart filled with complex emotions and bitterness. He was, after all, her biological father, and they had shared happy moments in the past. But his actions later were simply too excessive.
Half an hour later, Shao Zhenggang woke up from the anesthesia.
His first action was to look at his legs. They were gone, empty.
His expression was one of momentary numbness and confusion.
The shock was too much for him to bear. He wailed in pain, "My legs, my legs are gone, my legs..."
Tears soaked the blanket as he cried, patting his empty legs in a fit of rage.
Su Ding gripped Jin Ye's sleeve. She felt a pang of pity but didn't know what to say. Anyone would find it hard to cope with such a change.
After crying for a while, Shao Zhenggang finally had to accept the reality.
He stared blankly into space, his voice weary. "You can all leave. I need to be alone."
Su Ding glanced at Jin Ye, and the two of them quietly withdrew.
"Have you found Shao Lin?" Su Ding asked softly.
"Not yet. She's probably hiding," Jin Ye frowned.
Su Ding looked at the hospital room, her expression grave. She never imagined that Shao Lin wasn't Shao Zhenggang's biological daughter.
Wang Meilan truly had impressive methods to keep such a secret for so many years.
Now that Shao Zhenggang had learned this cruel truth and lost his legs, it was uncertain whether he could overcome it.
Su Ding glanced at the time. "Why don't you go back to your work? I'll watch over him here."
"Alright. Call me if anything comes up."
Jin Ye glanced at the bodyguards in the distance. "Have them follow."
Shortly after Jin Ye left, there was a thudding sound from inside the ward. Su Ding quickly pushed the door open!
She saw Shao Zhenggang slumped on the floor, blood dripping from the IV needle. The blanket had been dragged to the floor, and with only the upper half of his body, he couldn't get up.
"What are you doing!"
Su Ding tried to help him up, but he pushed her away forcefully, causing her to stumble!
Shao Zhenggang roared, his eyes red and tearful. "I'm a cripple now, are you happy? I'm getting my retribution, hahahaha, I'm a cripple..."
Seeing his emotional breakdown, Su Ding suppressed her anger and said, "Yes! This is your retribution!"
Shao Zhenggang suddenly glared at her, his expression fierce. "Get out—you unfilial daughter!"
"Shao Zhenggang, what right do you have to tell me to get out?"
Su Ding stopped trying to help him up. She stood up, her breathing uneven. "After what you did back then, did you deserve to be a husband, a father? You don't even have basic human morality and principles!"
Her eyes were red as she shouted angrily, "What right do you have to make a scene here now! Have you paid back what you owe my mother?"
Shao Zhenggang panted heavily, but he was speechless for a long time.
He stared blankly at his daughter, who resembled his ex-wife so much. The pain in his heart instantly subsided. His hands trembled slightly, and his lips moved for a long time.
Yes, it was all retribution.
Seeing that Shao Zhenggang's emotions had stabilized, Su Ding left the room with a cold expression. She called the bodyguards to help move him back to the bed and asked the doctor to come and give him a new IV drip.
He didn't act out at all during the entire process.
Silence returned to the ward. Shao Zhenggang sat blankly on the hospital bed.
Su Ding sat on a stool not far away, fiddling with her phone impatiently. She had never imagined that her father would end up in such a state.
She felt a sense of satisfaction at her revenge, but also a touch of sadness.
"Xiao Xu." Shao Zhenggang's hoarse voice broke the silence of the ward, drawing Su Ding's gaze.
Su Ding looked at him quietly, her eyes asking what was wrong.
Shao Zhenggang's lips moved, his old eyes cast down, and he said in a low, husky voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiao Xu..."
He had wanted to say these words of apology at Su Qin's grave.
No, he had wanted to say them the moment he saw Su Ding five years later, but he had never spoken them. Perhaps it was his hypocrisy and cowardice that led to his current misfortune.
If Su Qin's spirit was watching, she would hope for his apology too.
Su Ding bit her lip with great restraint, turned her face away, and carefully calmed her turbulent emotions. After a long while, she said, "You owe my mother the most."
"Yes, I've wronged both of you, mother and daughter..."
Shao Zhenggang finally lowered his always-proud head. He didn't raise it for a long time, tears glistening in his eyes. "Xiao Xu, will you forgive your father?"
Suddenly, Su Ding stood up.
The chair behind her slid back a short distance as she moved.
