Chapter 1149: The Culprit Hasn’t Been Found
After an entire month, the security here is still as strict as ever. Trying to make a move now would be very difficult.So, in this moment of urgency, she can only watch and wait.
Separated from Grandpa for almost twenty hours, Xia Yinian walked faster than Qin Yiheng.
Qin Yiheng lightly coughed, which caught her attention, and she slowed her steps a little.
At the moment, she is just a doctor’s assistant; if she moves too quickly, it might raise suspicion.
The bodyguard stationed outside the room closed the door behind Qin Yiheng and Xia Yinian as they entered, likely following Feng Yan’s prior instructions.
"Grandpa," Xia Yinian gently called out.
As if sensing something beforehand, the Old Master shifted his eyes and slowly opened them.
"Nian Nian," the Old Master whispered hoarsely.
Yet, when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his expression changed slightly.
"Grandpa, it’s really me, I’m Nian Nian," Xia Yinian clutched his hand.
"Uncle says Yaoshan hasn’t been very safe lately, which is why he wanted me to stay under another identity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let me come at all."
"Grandpa, do you understand what I’m saying?" Xia Yinian gazed at the Old Master, blinking lightly.
The Old Master blinked to indicate he understood.
These days, he has been trying to speak but still cannot.
Nian Nian seemed more anxious than he was about this, so he eventually gave up.
The words he wants to say can only be spoken once he recovers enough to actually speak.
A single blink from the Old Master signifies affirmation, while two blinks signify rejection; Xia Yinian and Feng Yan are aware of this.
"Hmm." Xia Yinian nodded in satisfaction.
She turned to glance at Qin Yiheng before looking back.
"Grandpa, this is the second young master of the Qin Family in Ye City, Qin Yiheng. He is quite a renowned psychologist."
"Uncle had him come to check on you. I am now acting as his assistant, under the name He Xiaoxiao, so resist calling me ’Nian Nian’ to avoid suspicion from others."
The Old Master blinked once more.
"Because the person who harmed you hasn’t been found, and outside people don’t know whether you can speak, apart from when you’re with me or Ah Yen, please refrain from speaking."
Xia Yinian took a deep breath, her expression serious.
Like Ah Yen, she doesn’t believe Grandpa accidentally misplaced his step.
Now, discussing this matter, Grandpa hasn’t shown any significant reaction, further supporting their hypothesis.
Moreover, it’s highly possible that Grandpa saw the perpetrator’s face or even recognizes them.
Even if Feng Yan maintains confidentiality about Grandpa waking up, Xia Yinian knows it can’t be hidden for long.
Just like Xia Chuxue below, as time goes by, other members of the Feng Family will want to visit Grandpa, and he couldn’t possibly keep denying them forever.
Therefore, for Grandpa’s safety, if outsiders perceive him as unable to speak, it would be beneficial to him without any drawbacks.
At least, his awakening hasn’t exerted too much pressure on the real culprit yet.
The Old Master blinked once, without any further movement.
Xia Yinian stood up contentedly, making room.
"Alright, let Yiheng examine you first."
Qin Yiheng approached to start checking Feng Heng. Although he doesn’t know medical skills, he is a mind reader, and Ah Yen still hopes he might glean some information about the perpetrator from Grandpa.
Ah Yen’s goals are clear; he also wishes to understand the assailant’s information through his grandfather as soon as possible.
As long as the culprit is not found, he won’t be at ease.
