Chapter 253 Strange Things at the Land Auction
After spitting out mouthfuls of blood, Bai Jingcheng's pupils dilated as he stared intently ahead.
He stood there for a few seconds, then collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
After a moment of deathly silence, terrifying screams erupted from the auction hall, leaving everyone bewildered and at a loss.
Bai Jingcheng's assistant, Xu Meng, was extremely frightened. He helped the fallen man up and shouted, "Young Master, Young Master, call an ambulance quickly!"
Yan Li, sitting in the first row not far away, exchanged a glance with his third master, both looking puzzled. "Third master, what's going on here? It's creepy."
This is the first time I've encountered something like this at a land auction. Could Bai Jingcheng be seriously ill?
Duan Yao narrowed his eyes as he looked at the direction where Bai Jingcheng had fallen and the bloodstains on the snow-white wall.
I feel there's something very strange about this.
After all, as the rival of the Duan Group, the Bai family's health condition of its top executives was something he needed to know very well.
Bai Jingcheng's sudden change of heart was as if he were possessed.
However, they didn't think much of it. They were rivals after all, and his life, old age, sickness, and death were none of their concern.
Behind her, in the seat of a foreign entrepreneur, Han Xinyue gripped the hem of her skirt with her hands, veins bulging.
The skirt was originally made of leather, but it got all wrinkled from her tugging.
And his neck and forehead were covered in blue veins, and his pupils were filled with horror.
He seemed no different from all the other female guests who were frightened; they were all stunned by Bai Jingcheng's sudden incident.
In reality, Han Xinyue's level of inner shock was very low.
The reason for such a strong reaction is simply that they are suppressing their inner excitement.
From then on, there would be one less person in the world who knew her secret, and that person would be her number one enemy.
As for Bai Jingcheng's assistant, Xu Meng, he is not a threat at all.
Thinking of this, she slowly turned her head, grasped Linda's hand tightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Thank you, Linda."
Linda grasped Han Xinyue's hand in return, "I told you, I will protect you for your father."
"thanks, thanks!"
Linda really enjoyed Han Xinyue's gratitude towards her.
They believed that Han Xinyue was Han Zhenying's biological daughter, and that Han Zhenying's blood flowed in her veins.
Moreover, Han Xinyue enjoyed all the pleasures of being a daughter that even her deceased biological mother never got to experience.
This feeling is just too good to be true.
Han Xinyue seemed to be able to sense Linda's state of mind at this moment, and took the opportunity to ask, "Bai Jingcheng's death wasn't enough for Yuanyuan, his assistant Xu Meng also tried to blackmail Grandma to death back then."
I took her to Gao Guo back then, and I also know that she went to Paradise Tower.
Although the saying goes "to catch the thief, first catch the king," Xu Meng knew far more than Bai Jingcheng.
Linda scoffed, "He's just an assistant, nothing to worry about. He'll be next."
Han Xinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
......
A land auction was abruptly halted due to this unexpected event and will be rescheduled for the next two days.
After the top medical team took Bai Jingcheng away, the organizers dismissed all the guests present.
The guests who came to participate in the auction came from all over the world, and some of them had traveled quite a long way.
But there's not much you can say when something like this happens; you can only wait patiently and silently.
Duan Yao, having wasted time, looked somewhat displeased and left with Yan Li.
Not long after the car started moving, Yan Li received a message.
Yan Li received the call and amplified the sound as soon as it connected.
"Assistant Yan, we found out that Bai Jingcheng's condition deteriorated after he got into the ambulance, and the accompanying doctor issued a critical condition notice."
Yan Li turned to Duan Yao and said, "Third Master, this is too strange."
Duan Yao didn't even raise his eyes. "No need to worry about it."
Yan Li immediately understood, "Okay!"
Ambulances shuttled through the bustling streets of Beijing, their speed increasing second by second.
Pedestrians and vehicles on the road quickly gave way, fearing that they might delay the patient in the ambulance.
About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the Imperial Capital Hospital at top speed.
Given the urgency of the situation and the fact that the person in the car was a prominent young master and entrepreneur from a well-known family in Beijing, the Imperial Hospital took the matter very seriously.
Dean Zeng Yang and Chief Physician Xie Jingbai were dispatched directly.
The two had just finished lunch, and before they even had time to wipe the grease off their mouths with tissues, they ran out of the office and rushed to the emergency room.
They went in quite confidently, thinking that the two of them working together would probably be able to handle it quickly.
To their surprise, Bai Jingcheng's situation was far more complicated than they had imagined.
The body's overall functions could not be found to have any problems, but the vital signs were gradually weakening.
Xie Jingbai and Dean Zeng both knew that Bai Jingcheng and Duan Yao were at odds, and that Bai Jingcheng was not exactly an upright person in the business world.
Putting aside all that, they were both doctors who were saving lives, and immediately suggested that they consult Song Beiyou.
As for whether or not they come, they respect Song Beiyou's decision.
......
The morning tea service at the Cantonese teahouse is still ongoing.
Five servings of steamed chicken feet were too much for Song Beiyou, but just right for everyone at the table.
It must be said that the food at this teahouse is very much to Song Beiyou’s liking. It’s not the kind of pre-made dishes, but rather freshly made to order, which tastes fresh and delicious.
After finishing her meal, Song Beiyou raised her hand to call the waiter to pay the bill, but Zong Lanfang beat her to it, saying, "I'll pay, I'll pay."
Song Beiyou's enthusiasm for her amused him, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Meeting Elder Zong's eyes, and seeing him blink gently, she complied with Zong Lanfang's wish.
Okay, if she wants to pay, then let's pay for her. Let's give her a chance to show off.
In the end, Zong Lanfang got her wish and happily paid the bill.
After paying the bill, perhaps feeling a bit better, he asked Song Beiyou and the others, "Where are we going next?"
Didn't we agree to take a walk in the botanical garden?
"I've just eaten, so this will help with digestion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Zong, fearing that Song Beiyou would be displeased, said, "This matter was leaked from my side, and your mother came along after she found out."
They must be quite interested in our activities today.
That's quite a polite way of putting it.
How could Song Beiyou not understand? He understood the moment Zong Lanfang appeared in this situation.
With a slight smile, she replied to Elder Zong, "Yes, let's go then, to the botanical garden."
Once a schedule is agreed upon, it won't be changed.
Elder Zong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly, "Alright, let's go then, let's go for a walk before the weather gets too hot."
It won't be wise to go out in a few days; the sun will be unbearable.
The others agreed, and seeing the old man get up first, they all followed suit, preparing to head to the botanical garden.
Just then, Song Beiyou's phone, which was on the table and hadn't been picked up yet, vibrated.
The caller ID showed Xie Jingbai from Dijing Hospital.
