<h4>Chapter 639: Chapter 640: Confidence At Heart</h4><h4></h4>


    As the Lamborghini nearly flipped over, He Xing felt for the first time what was fear. He wasn’t afraid of death, but of what would happen to Fu Han and Grandpa He if he died.


    The rest of the journey saw He Xing being much more cautious, and even though he had alreadye down from the mountain road, he didn’t speed like a maniac again, though he was still going faster than usual.


    The hospital soon came into view, and whether by coincidence or not, it happened to be the same hospital Fu Han and Nan Qing had visited a few days ago.


    He Xing remembered that ording to the Xia Family’s location, they should have been in the new wing on the suburb side, since the time to rescue Xia Ning from her suicide was crucial, and the ambnce should have allocated the nearest hospital, it made no sense to bring her here instead.


    But now was not the time to think about these things. He Xing took two steps at a time as he entered the hospital, and without hesitation made his way to the outside of the Emergency Room, where Fu Han had received emergency treatmentst time as well.


    When he arrived, Xia Guoxiong was standing alone outside the Emergency Room. From afar, his back was hunched as if a great mountain weighed upon him, making it hard for him to breathe.


    Moreover, Xia Guoxiong’s hair was unkempt, looking as if he hadn’t washed it in many days, and his dark blue coat was stained inrge patches, adding to his disheveled appearance.


    He Xing’s mood became incrediblyplex as he approached Xia Guoxiong, and when he was two meters away, he cleared his throat, "Uncle Xia."


    Xia Guoxiong turned around, and upon seeing He Xing, the tears immediately started spilling from his eyes.


    They say a man’s tears should not be easily shed, but Xia Guoxiong’s tears were always more plentiful than most men’s, and He Xing had seen him cry on several asions.


    However, with the flickering lights above the Emergency Room, Xia Guoxiong’s tears brought an extra pang of heartache to He Xing.


    He Xingposed himself, and with as calm of a tone as possible, he asked, "Uncle Xia, how is Xia Ning doing?"


    "I don’t know." Xia Guoxiong haphazardly wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, speaking with a profound sense of grievance, as if He Xing had wronged him in some way.


    He Xing chose to ignore Xia Guoxiong’s expression. At that moment, he felt an unexpected calm, as he looked at Xia Guoxiong with an unfathomable gaze and asked, "Uncle Xia, why did Xia Ning attempt suicide?"


    Indeed, He Xing’s reason was telling him not to ask this question, but he couldn’t help but ask, driven by his emotions and his gratitude towards Du Wanting.


    Xia Guoxiong’s tears started flowing again as he cried out, "Isn’t it because Xia Ning is a fool? A few days ago, Qin Nuan got in touch with Xia Ning, iming that if she did not find a way to save Yi Lixing, Qin Nuan would go to you."


    "To me?" He Xing’s handsome eyebrows knitted together as he looked at Xia Guoxiong in confusion, genuinely surprised that this matter could be rted to him.


    Xia Guoxiong spoke through his sobs, "Isn’t it just because Xia Ning adores you too much? You know she and Fu Han have always been at odds. Once, Xia Ning spoke out of anger, saying she wished Fu Han was gone. Qin Nuan overheard that, and now she is using those words to threaten Xia Ning, iming if Xia Ning doesn’t get Yi Lixing released, Qin Nuan will have Yi Lixing use her of being the mastermind behind it all."


    "Even if she wanted to mastermind, how could she?" He Xing’s bright eyes met Xia Guoxiong’s, his words measured, "Even if Yi Lixing were to make such an usation, he’d need to provide evidence."


    Under He Xing’s gaze, Xia Guoxiong felt utterly exposed,pelled to turn away from those prating eyes, yet his rational mind told him he couldn’t.


    Xia Guoxiong steeled himself, meeting He Xing’s eyes as he stated each word carefully, "It’s a long story... You know about the mess between me, Xia Cheng, and Qin Nuan. Originally... to get Qin Nuan to abort the child, I gave her money in the name of Xia Ning. Now she’s nning to use that money to frame Xia Ning."


    The hospital was quiette at night, and the Emergency Room was a ce no one normally wished to visit.


    The narrow corridor was upied by only the two of them, the dim light overhead casting a soft glow, highlighting every detail of their figures.


    He Xing scrutinized Xia Guoxiong closely, trying to decide whether what he said was true, knowing that his own investigations had turned up information that didn’t align with Xia Guoxiong’s ount.


    After several stifling minutes passed, He Xing finally broke the silence, "I understand what you’ve said, and I will investigate this thoroughly. Like I’ve always stated, no one is allowed to harm Fu Han."


    Xia Guoxiong, not anticipating that his words would have no impact on He Xing’s steadfast resolve, felt his heart sink, at a loss about what to do next.


    Just then, the door of the Emergency Room opened, and the doctors and nurses wheeled Xia Ning out.


    Upon the stark white hospital bed, Xia Ning looked even paler than before, devoid of any color in her face; her eyes tightly closed, she appeared to be deeply asleep.


    The doctor spoke with an emotionless voice tinged with indifference, "The patient has lost too much blood, and because she wasn’t brought here in time, even though we’ve managed to resuscitate her, no one can predict the final oue."


    "What?" Xia Guoxiong’s voice rose several notches as he anxiously retorted, "I brought her over immediately, and you’re telling me I wasn’t prompt enough?"


    The doctor, in the process of removing his face mask, paused upon hearing this and replied expressionlessly, "I’m merely stating the facts; you can confirm with the relevant authorities if you don’t believe me."


    He Xing inwardly sighed deeply, and finally spoke, "Uncle Xia, let’s not quarrel over this with the doctor. Let’s get Xia Ning to the ward."


    Hearing He Xing’s words, Xia Guoxiong’s expression slightly eased, and looking up, he directed the nearby nurse through his nostrils, "Hurry up and take my daughter to the ward. If anything happens to her, I won’t let you off the hook."


    He Xing’s brows furrowed, always feeling that Xia Guoxiong’s attitude towards his children, Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, was odd—not necessarily bad, but it always seemed like a show to others.


    But these were not the matters to dwell on at the moment. He Xing still followed the nurses as they escorted Xia Ning towards the Inpatient Department, and then, the second coincidence of the day urred—the room assigned to Xia Ning by the doctor was the very same ward Fu Han had stayed in.


    He Xing looked around the ward, not even a week had passed since hest left this room, and now here he was back again. Truly, one could only say that the world is vast, yet at times, the world seems incredibly small.
