Chapter 223: Also a Mafia Organization
Finally, the doctor came out after treating the wound, and Lin Wanwan hurried to greet him: "Doctor, how is he? Is he okay?"
The doctor took off his mask and said, "The wounds have been treated. There are no serious injuries. However, you have to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation and rest well."
Lin Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief and walked into the ward. Looking at Huo Jingchen, who was still a little pale lying on the bed, her eyes were red. "Jingchen, you should take good care of your injuries. Don't get hurt again in the future."
Huo Jingchen took her hand and stroked it gently: "Don't worry, I was careless this time. I will bring bodyguards with me when I go out next time. I won't let you fall into danger again."
Lin Wanwan nodded. She was so worried that she almost cried. Fortunately, she was smart and chose to save herself.
"Jing Chen, we are unfamiliar with Haicheng, who on earth wants to kill you?" Lin Wanwan couldn't help but wonder. They had just arrived in Haicheng and hadn't offended anyone, right?
Huo Jingchen frowned slightly, "There are many people who want to kill me. Maybe it was arranged by my competitors to kill me in Haicheng."
"Who could it be? Why do they know our whereabouts so well?" Lin Wanwan was even more confused.
Huo Jingchen sneered and agreed in his heart.
"Haicheng is the territory of the Ye family. As the richest man in Haicheng, the Ye Group cannot be unaware of my entry into Haicheng." Huo Jingchen began to analyze: "Even if it is my competitor, it is impossible for them to make a big move in Haicheng without alerting the Ye family."
Hearing Huo Jingchen's words, Lin Wanwan seemed to be thinking, "You mean, the Ye family wants to do something cruel to you?"
Lin Wanwan suddenly remembered her best friend Fang Xiaoxuan's reminder to be careful of Ye Sinian.
"Could it be that Ye Sinian did it?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Huo Jingchen said calmly, clenching his fists. "What deep hatred do the Ye family have against me? Is it just because of business competition?"
Huo Jingchen always felt that Ye Sinian had been full of hostility towards him from the very beginning.
Therefore, he felt that this assassination was not that simple.
"Jing Chen, even if we suspect that Ye Sinian did it, we have no evidence!"
"Don't worry! I will investigate this matter thoroughly." A hint of coldness flashed in Huo Jingchen's deep eyes.
Lin Wanwan sighed softly. She knew that Huo Jingchen was a man with ideas and strong action ability. Since he said he would investigate it thoroughly, he would definitely do it.
"Then you have to be careful. If they didn't succeed this time, they might take follow-up actions!" Lin Wanwan looked at Huo Jingchen with concern.
Huo Jingchen patted her hand soothingly, "Yes, I know what's going on. You have to pay attention to your safety during this period, and try not to act alone. I will arrange for someone to protect you."
Lin Wanwan nodded. Although she was still a little uneasy, she felt more at ease with Huo Jingchen's arrangements.
Ye family villa.
"What? Failed?"
Ye Sinian received a call from his subordinates and was immediately furious. "What a bunch of useless things! Huo Jingchen and his men went out this time without bodyguards. This is the best opportunity, but you can't do it."
"Boss Ye, calm down! This time it was all Lin Wanwan's fault. She ruined our plan."
"Lin Wanwan is just a weak woman. Can she prevent you from killing Huo Jingchen?" Ye Sinian said unhappily.
"Mr. Ye, you don't know, Lin Wanwan got a fire extinguisher from somewhere and sprayed it at the brothers and hit them with the fire extinguisher. Huo Jingchen took the opportunity to fight back, which allowed them to run away." The subordinate explained aggrievedly on the other end of the phone.
Ye Sinian frowned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the seemingly weak Lin Wanwan had such ability.
"No matter what method I use, Huo Jingchen must die in Haicheng. Otherwise, you will pack up and leave!"
Ye Sinian clenched his fists, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes." The subordinate on the phone quickly responded: "Boss Ye, Huo Jingchen was lucky this time, so they got away. Next time, he won't be so lucky."
He originally wanted to take advantage of Huo Jingchen's unpreparedness in Haicheng to get rid of him in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Lin Wanwan to show up halfway and ruin his plans.
But he would not give up. After all, Huo Jingchen had always been his strong opponent, and there was also the Huo and Ye families, who were separated by a blood feud.
He was determined to kill Huo Jingchen to comfort his family in heaven.
"Keep watching Huo Jingchen and the others' movements. Once you get a chance, take action immediately. We must succeed this time!"
Ye Sinian gave instructions to the person on the other end of the phone, then hung up the phone, sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, and began to plan his next move.
"Yes, Mr. Ye."
In the next few days, Huo Jingchen rested in the hospital and recuperated, while Lin Wanwan stayed with him in the ward, occasionally going out to buy some daily necessities and Huo Jingchen's favorite food.
Huo Jingchen was worried about Lin Wanwan going out alone, so he arranged for his brothers in the underworld to protect her secretly.
"Master Huo, I found it."
At this time, Huo Jingchen received a call from Song Zekai who was far away in Kyoto.
"As you expected, those assassins are indeed well-trained assassins, and they also look like a gang. As for whether it was arranged by the Ye family, there is no evidence yet."
Hearing this, Huo Jingchen clenched his fists, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, "Why do they want to kill me?"
"Brother Huo, is it possible that you have offended Ye Sinian? In addition, you and the Ye Group are hostile to each other. They want you to die in Haicheng, doesn't this make sense?"
Huo Jingchen shook his head, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
At this time, Lin Wanwan walked in from outside the ward.
"Jing Chen, I bought you wontons, come and try them."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm hanging up." Huo Jingchen said hurriedly and hung up the phone.
Lin Wanwan walked in carrying an insulated box and saw him hang up the phone.
"Who are you talking to on the phone?"
"It's Song Zekai. He knows I'm injured and cares about me." Huo Jingchen smiled faintly and explained.
Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, placed the thermal box on the table, opened the lid, and immediately, the aroma of wontons filled the ward.
"Eat it while it's hot. I just bought it and it's still warm." Lin Wanwan said as she took the spoon and handed it to Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen took the spoon, scooped up a wonton and put it into his mouth. The delicious taste spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly: "Well, it tastes good."
"Jing Chen, you just said that Ze Kai knew you were injured. Doesn't that mean Rui Lin and the others also know about it?"
Huo Jingchen thought for a moment and replied, "Grandpa is old, and I was afraid that he would worry, so I asked Zekai to keep it a secret for the time being."
