Your Highness, your wife doesn't want you anymore!

When Jin Si Nian arrived outside the emergency room, he saw a young girl with her hair tied in a low ponytail standing in the corridor with a look of defiance on her face. It was Liu Weiwei, Lao Liu's daughter.

Her tone was cold and defiant: "Why did you call me here in such a hurry?"

"I don't have a father."

The thought of having to bear huge medical expenses made her instinctively want to distance herself from the situation, saying, "I don't have any money to pay for his treatment."

"I have absolutely nothing to do with him!"

Assistant Zhang, standing to the side, looked troubled.

As instructed by Jin Si Nian, he made a special trip to contact Lao Liu's family. Liu Weiwei had returned to her hometown and was about to return to S University when school started. Upon learning that her father, who had been missing for more than ten years, was critically ill and in critical condition, she refused to acknowledge him from beginning to end, fearing that she would be burdened by medical expenses.

"Ms. Liu, we called you here not to ask you to pay for medical expenses," Assistant Zhang said gently.

Liu Weiwei was taken aback, her eyes filled with surprise: "Not for money? Then why are you looking for me?"

Her tone held the grievances that had been building up for years: "This person has been gone for over a decade without a word. I had long since assumed he was no longer alive. Who would have thought he would end up critically ill and needing emergency treatment?"

"I really don't have the money to pay for his medical expenses."

Over the years, her mother has raised her alone, supporting her while also taking care of both sets of parents, and the years of hard work have taken a toll on her health.

She relied entirely on student loans to pay for her tuition. She worked part-time during the week and summer and winter vacations to make ends meet. During countless difficult days and nights, the father who should have been the pillar of the family never appeared.

At this moment, Jin Si Nian slowly walked forward, and Assistant Zhang quickly bowed and greeted him: "President Jin."

Jin Si Nian nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Liu Weiwei, and asked in a deep voice, "Ms. Liu, in these past ten years or so, has your father ever contacted you and your mother?"

Liu Weiwei looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears: "No, never."

"If he had just sent a message, my mother and I wouldn't be having such a hard time."

She slowly recounted the past, "He used to be the Jin family's driver, earning 15,000 yuan a month. Life was quite stable back then."

"But after a car accident, he disappeared without a trace, and the police could not find his body when they investigated the scene."

His mother spent her days in tears, fearing something had happened to him while secretly relieved that he might still be alive.

My daughter and I waited for several years, but in the end we were completely heartbroken and just assumed he was gone.

From then on, the family's life took a sharp downturn.

Things are not what they used to be.

Jin Si Nian continued to press for crucial clues: "Over the years, have any strangers or suspicious individuals come to your door inquiring about or searching for your father?"

Liu Weiwei shook her head blankly, then couldn't help but urge, "I don't know what you want from me."

"If I'm still expected to cover his medical expenses, I simply can't afford a single penny. I would have considered him dead long ago."

"Does your mother know what happened back then? Could you please have her come over?"

Liu Weiwei instantly became defensive, her thoughts laid bare.

Kings saw through her misunderstanding and explained bluntly, "You don't need to be on guard."

"My surname is Jin. That car accident back then was not an accident at all. Now your father may be the only one who knows the truth. We just want to find out the truth."

"No, my mother has difficulty walking and lives far away in our hometown. She can't possibly make the long journey here." Liu Weiwei refused outright, not wanting to stay a moment longer. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Don't come to me with anything related to him in the future. Even if he really leaves, it has nothing to do with me."

He was absent from her entire childhood of more than a decade, and to her, it made no difference whether he was there or not.

Watching Liu Weiwei's resolute departure, Assistant Zhang helplessly asked, "President Jin, should we send someone after her to try and persuade her a little more?"

Young Kings shook his head, his eyes filled with melancholy: "No need."

"Have someone go to Lao Liu's hometown and ask his wife in person if any suspicious strangers have come to inquire about him in recent years. Also, visit the villagers and ask them about the situation."

"Make sure you ask detailed questions."

He always harbored doubts. Old Liu used to be a family-oriented and reliable person. It was impossible for him to be so heartless as to disappear for more than ten years without giving his wife and daughter any news or support.

He couldn't believe that Old Liu would be so heartless, after hearing what Liu Weiwei had just said about how she and her daughter had struggled to make ends meet for years.

Her thoughts drifted back to Nan Zhi, who was eight months pregnant with twins. Filled with worry, she pinched her brow and ordered in a low voice, "Take me to retrieve the hospital's surveillance footage first."

The two arrived at the monitoring room.

The corner of the park where Dr. Zhao pushed Old Liu for a walk in the afternoon happened to be a blind spot for the surveillance cameras. The footage could only capture a few scattered corners of clothing. Medical staff and visiting family members came and went in an endless stream, and the crowd was mixed, making it difficult to pinpoint the target.

Jin Nian's eyes were fixed on the screen when he suddenly caught sight of an odd figure and immediately said, "Pause, rewind the video."

"Step back a little more."

The image freezes, and a slightly stocky man comes into view. He is wearing a black hoodie, a baseball cap pulled low, and a mask covering his face completely, deliberately obscuring all facial features.

"Investigate this person thoroughly, trace all his routes in and out of the hospital, and track where he went after he left." Jin Si Nian's tone was cold. This blurry figure was the only breakthrough at the moment.

The heavy iron door of the operating room was pushed open from the inside by the doctor, who came out wearing a white coat that smelled of disinfectant and shook his head with a solemn expression.

"The patient's condition is extremely critical. He is in a deep coma, and whether he can wake up is entirely up to fate. You, the family, should be prepared for the worst."

Jin Nian stepped forward, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Doctor, is the person still alive?"

"His vital signs have stabilized for now, but his will to live is extremely low. There is also an old tumor in his brain that is pressing on his nerves. Even if he survives this, his organs could fail at any time." After saying this, the doctor hurriedly returned to the emergency room, leaving him standing alone in the cold corridor.

The surrounding air seemed to suddenly drop to freezing point, making it hard for Jin Si Nian to breathe.

He took out his phone and, his fingertips heavy, sent a message to Kingsman.

Uncle Liu has been murdered and is now in a deep coma; the only lead has gone cold.

Brother, should we continue investigating the matter of Father's car accident from back then?

He knew perfectly well that the other party's blatant act of violence in the hospital was a clear warning, forcing them to stop their investigation.

I suspect the person who did it today was just doing someone else's bidding.

The person behind the scenes is lurking in the shadows, using ruthless and reckless methods.

Now he has a family, and Nan Zhi is more than eight months pregnant with twins, who will give birth soon. Their stable life has just begun.

He dared not gamble. If the other party turned their attention to Zhizhi and their two unborn children, he would not be able to withstand even the slightest surprise. If something happened to Zhizhi, he would completely collapse.

After weighing the options, he decided to give up.

I don't want to investigate any further.

On the other side, Kingsman was handling official business at the company when he saw the message. His fingers clenched tightly, a chill ran through him, and he quickly replied.

Has the person who committed the act found any clues?

Jin Si Nian typed a reply: [The surveillance footage only captured a suspicious man whose face was obscured; the investigation is ongoing.]

Today's incident is clearly a warning to us; digging deeper into the matter would be too risky.

Kingsman immediately saw through his brother's deepest concern: he was worried about Nanzhi, who was about to give birth, and did not want his wife and child to be involved in dangerous conflicts. He immediately reassured him.

Leave the investigation entirely to me; you don't need to get involved.

Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, so go home and stay with her. You don't need to worry about anything else.

After reading the message from his older brother, Jin Si Nian's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and most of the weight that had been hanging over his heart was lifted.
