Charles waved for two cars.

Yue Yu casually glanced at one of the cars and said to Yue Lanchen, “Lanchen, get in this car.”

“Okay.” Without hesitation, Yue Lanchen got into the car.

“Go back and get some rest. I’ll see you at the game tomorrow. I’m off too.” Yue Yu waved at him.

Then she got into the other car.

After Yue Lanchen got into the car, Yue Yu’s car drove off in another direction.

His car hadn’t gone far when a car in front of him stopped him.

Yue Lanchen felt a sudden nervousness.

He gripped the back of the chair.

Two figures got out of the car in front of him. Yue Lanchen couldn’t see them clearly against the light. He nervously raised the back of his hand to shield his vision.

When the two of them approached, he shouted in surprise, “Sister, Brother-in-law! Why are you here?”

Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin opened the door and got into the car.

Yue Lanchen hurriedly made way for them.

“You guys are here to give me a surprise, aren’t you?” Yue Lanchen said happily. “I knew you couldn’t bear to let me compete alone! Sis was just lying to me before that you guys weren’t coming.”

Actually, he was not alone with Yue Yu accompanying him, but Shi Jin’s arrival still had a different meaning.

Shi Jin patted him on the head. “Come on, get in our car. We’ll take you back.”

“Sure,” Yue Lanchen replied immediately.

Fu Xiuyuan spoke briefly in French to the driver, who let Yue Lanchen off.

On the way, Yue Lanchen chatted and laughed happily.

Before the three of them could return to the team, Yue Lanchen received a call from the hospital. The caller spoke French, which he couldn’t fully understand at the moment. He was anxious. “What? What hospital did you say? What is it?”

“Allow me,” Fu Xiuyuan said, reaching for the phone.

After he finished the call, he said with a grave expression, “Yue Yu’s car just lost control and crashed into a building. She was taken to the hospital. The police found the most recent call in her phone to be you, so they called you.”

“What? I’ll be right there!” Yue Lanchen was very anxious.

“We’ll accompany you there.”

Yue Lanchen did not speak for the rest of the journey. He held his head and looked pained.

Shi Jin said nothing either, but sat with him in silence.

When they reached the hospital, Charles joined them.

He was questioning the police loudly and indignantly in French.

“The brakes failed? Why would they? That’s my family’s car and driver! Impossible!”

Yue Lanchen rushed over. “How’s my sister?”

“She’s still in surgery.” Charles swallowed his anger. “Wait here a minute.”

“Is it serious?” Yue Lanshen’s voice was hoarse and bitter.

“I don’t know yet.”

Charles was in no mood to comfort him.

Yue Lanchen had no choice but to sit down.

Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan stood at the side, not saying much.

Yue Yu was sent out not long after the surgery.

Yue Lanchen hurriedly ran over. The doctor said simply, “She injured her face and arm. Fortunately it’s not a big problem, but she still needs to recuperate.”

Fu Xiuyuan translated his words for Yue Lanchen.

“Sis, sis?”

Yue Yu opened her eyes and adjusted to the light. She glanced at Yue Lanchen with a gloomy expression.

Yue Lanchen took it as pain and said, “Does it hurt? Do you want the doctor to give you some more painkillers?”

“It doesn’t hurt. I’m fine. Why don’t you get some rest? You’ve got a game tomorrow.”

“I can’t leave until I see you’re all right, or I won’t leave. Now I’ll take you to the ward.”

“Okay.”

Yue Lanchen sent her inside and only left when Charles stayed to take care of her.

When he came out, he saw Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin still standing not far away.

He ran over and said, “Fortunately, there’s nothing serious. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to answer to my parents.”

“I’m glad she’s okay,” Shi Jin said. “Lanchen, France isn’t like home, after all. You should follow the team at all times for the next two days.”

Yue Lanchen suddenly remembered something. “Actually, I should have taken that car, but my sister chose to let me take the other car, which led to her accident and me being fine. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let her take that car. I’d rather have something happen to me.”

Shi Jin looked at him and did not reply.

Without a word, Fu Xiuyuan followed Shi out.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yue Lanchen suddenly shuddered and thought of a possibility. “Sis, Brother-in-law, was I originally supposed to get into the car with the faulty brakes?”

“Indeed.” Shi Jin nodded.

“No, impossible! My sister is my biological sister. How could she do such a thing?” He refused to believe what he was hearing.

After saying that, he felt that it was too harsh on Shi Jin. He said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I refuse to believe she would do such a thing to me.”

“It’s okay. Don’t read too much into it,” Shi Jin assured him. “Focus on your game first.”

However, at a time like this, how could Yue Lanchen not care about this matter and not think too much about it?

He took her arm to keep her from moving forward. “You tell me what’s going on. You tell me!”

“Let me do the talking.” Fu Xiuyuan knew Shi Jin didn’t want to ruin their sibling relationship.

He said calmly, “There are dozens of cars in the Charles family. Shi Jin and I went over to take a look. These dozens of cars are basically the same model and color. There’s no difference, but there’s a small sticker on one of the cars. Shi Jin and I didn’t do anything, but we took off this small sticker and swapped it with another car. The car you rode in later didn’t originally have a sticker. And the one Yue Yu sat in originally had a sticker. Do you understand?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yue Lanchen could not accept this fact, could not believe it.

In other words, the car with the faulty brakes was originally arranged by Yue Yu for him. However, because of Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan’s small actions, Yue Yu sat in that car herself.

Yue Lanchen refused to believe it.

However, he recalled that when the two cars arrived, Yue Yu had specially arranged for him to get into the car before she got in.

He didn’t remember those microexpressions very clearly, but now they seemed really unfamiliar.

If Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan didn’t change that sticker, he would be the one lying in bed now.

Accidents caused by faulty brakes could often be serious. If something happened to him, the consequences might not be so simple and easy.

At this thought, a chill ran down Yue Lanchen’s spine.

“Lanchen.” Shi Jin could tell he was dazed and broken. “Yue Lanchen.”

Yue Lanchen turned a deaf ear.

“Yue Lanchen, this is just Fu Xiuyuan and my deduction. There’s no clear argument. Calm down first.”
