Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that people are alive.

As for the rest, we can take it slowly.

Su Yurou glanced at the ward door to make sure no one was there, then leaned closer and lowered her voice:

"Lin Xuan, what happened? How did you get so badly injured? And..."

She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice even further:

"The An Group is in complete chaos! What exactly happened to you that night?"

Lin Xuan frowned: "An's Group?"

What does this have to do with the An Group?

Even if An Lan is in trouble temporarily, isn't there a large family behind her?

Thinking this, he suddenly realized something.

The old man in black robes mentioned something about "Yin Yuan" or something like that...

Could this be An Lan's secret?

He knew nothing about what happened after he fell into a coma that night, how the An family handled the aftermath, or what became of the two tree slaves and the old man.

He was equally filled with doubt.

Su Yurou nodded:

"The An family... has changed. President An has been removed from his position by the board of directors. The announcement has already been released. It happened yesterday afternoon."

Lin Xuan was stunned.

"The reason wasn't given, but the more they say that, the more rumors circulate."

Su Yurou's voice was filled with anger.

"Some say she's involved in economic crimes, some say she offended her family elders, some say she has mental problems, and even more outrageous, some say she has an immoral private life..."

Lin Xuan's brows furrowed even more deeply:

"How could this happen?"

Why is Anjia turning a blind eye to so many rumors?

Or is it possible that... all of this was orchestrated by the An family?!

Thinking about this, Lin Xuan felt that things seemed to be going a little better.

That night, apart from An Yongchang, he didn't see a single member of the An family!

This is wrong in itself!

An Lan has brought the An Group to its current heights over the years, and she deserves all the credit and hard work.

Even if there is internal strife within the An family, is it really necessary to go this far?

Su Yurou's next words shocked him even more.

"The scariest thing is, do you know who's currently acting as president?" She stared at Lin Xuan, enunciating each word clearly, "Chen Mo."

"What?" Lin Xuan thought he had misheard.

"Chen Mo".

Su Yurou repeated it, her tone full of disbelief.

"The prestigious An Group has actually appointed a member of the Chen family as acting president! Although the announcement says it's temporary, who knows how long this temporary arrangement will last?"

"Besides, you know Chen Mo's character; he's a playboy, what does he know about management!"

Lin Xuan fell silent.

Chen Mo?

That spoiled brat who was confined to the Chen family's house?

That guy who failed to win over An Lan, then drugged Tong Yao, and now wants the Tong family's wealth?

What gives him the right?

"Is no one from the An family objecting?" Lin Xuan asked.

Su Yurou shook her head with a wry smile:

"On the contrary. At the same time that President An was dismissed, the Chen family announced a strategic partnership with the An family. As soon as the news came out, the An Group's stock price not only did not fall, but instead surged to its daily limit."

She felt deeply sorry for An Lan.

"Those shareholders don't care who's the president. As long as the stock price goes up, they'll call Chen Mo 'Daddy' without a second thought."

She sighed:

"I don't even understand the company's current situation. It's a complete mess, that's the best way to put it! And yet the stock price is still rising. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Su Yurou was a veteran employee who had worked at the company for many years, but the current situation was something she had never imagined.

Outrageous!

"I sneaked out of the hospital today. The company is full of new faces. The people Chen Mo brought are all arrogant."

Lin Xuan remained silent for a while, processing this information.

The An family abandoned An Lan, and the Chen family seized the opportunity to take over, making Chen Mo the winner.

An Lan, the mistress who gave everything for the An Group, is now lying in a hospital bed, as weak as a withered leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

to the end.

Not a single person from the An family came to see her!

Parents, siblings, elders...

None of them appeared.

ridiculous!

Lin Xuan felt sorry for An Lan.

What will her reaction be when she wakes up and learns all this?

"Take me to see her first."

Lin Xuan sighed and spoke.

Su Yurou nodded, got up, pushed his wheelchair out of the ward, and went to the next room.

The sign on the door reads: An Lan.

Lin Xuan chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Still neighbors."

Su Yurou pushed open the door, and the two entered the ward.

An Lan lay quietly on the hospital bed.

Her face remained deathly pale, devoid of any color.

His lips were chapped and his eyes were tightly closed.

Thick bandages were wrapped around his wrists, where the man in black had cut them open.

I have one myself.

The two of them really do share the same plight.

Various instruments beeped around her, displaying her vital signs.

Stable, but weak.

Lin Xuan had Su Yurou push him to the edge of the bed, then reached out and gently placed his hand on An Lan's wrist.

A moment later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly.

He turned to look at Su Yurou: "Let me be alone with her for a while."

Su Yurou paused for a moment, looked at him, then at the unconscious An Lan, and nodded:

"Okay, I'll be outside. Call me if you need anything."

She turned and left, gently closing the door behind her.

The ward fell silent, with only the regular beeping of the medical equipment remaining.

Lin Xuan looked at An Lan's pale face, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly spoke.

"What are you running away from?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet hospital room.

An Lan did not react and kept her eyes closed.

Lin Xuan continued:

"You can wake up. Your body is fine now, you just don't want to wake up, right?"

"An Lan, are you actually afraid to wake up?"

A series of words echoed in the empty hospital room.

A silence.

The pulse diagnosis told Lin Xuan that An Lan's condition had stabilized.

Although she lost a lot of blood and needs time to recover, she is unlikely to remain in a coma indefinitely.

unless!

She herself didn't want to wake up.

Her subconscious was telling her that she couldn't wake up!

She is running away.

Was she running away from that family, running away from the family that abandoned her?

Is she trying to escape the An Group, the company she fought for for over a decade, only to have it kick her aside in the end?

She is afraid.

I'm afraid of everything I'll have to face when I wake up.

Faced with harsh reality.

No, this can't go on, we have to wake her up!

Lin Xuan remained silent for a while before speaking again, his tone calm yet carrying a certain resoluteness.

"An Lan, if you don't wake up, I will look down on you forever."

He looked at her face:

"The An Lan I know is the high-ranking female CEO of the An Group, someone who can withstand even the greatest pressure."

"Instead of being a coward lying in a hospital bed, escaping reality."

"If you don't wake up, then... I'm leaving, and I'll never see you again!"

As he spoke, he turned the wheels of his wheelchair with both hands, preparing to leave.

In that instant, Lin Xuan noticed that An Lan's tightly closed eyes had her eyelashes tremble slightly.

He stopped what he was doing.

The next second, An Lan's finger also slowly twitched.

She heard it!
