She put away her phone and turned around to see Rayan looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"What happened?"

"Ms. Schneider, your cellphone ringtone is quite unique. I feel like I have heard it somewhere before."

Briana's face changed slightly, "Where have you heard it?"

This ringtone is a unique ringtone created by a hacker in the Mercenary League, and only the members of the Mercenary League will have this software on their phones.

Rayan shook his head, "I also forgot, but this ringtone is very unique, so when I heard it, it reminded me of something I had heard before."

Briana did not ask any further questions, and the two fell into silence.

After a while, Rayan looked at Briana and said, "Ms. Schneider, the car that the president was sitting in crashed into a bus and quickly caught fire. The other subordinates only managed to rescue the driver and Mr. Yoder. It is estimated that the divorce agreement..."

Briana also anticipated this result and nodded, saying, "Hmm, let's wait until he's better to discuss this matter."

She also wanted to find out if this matter had anything to do with Scorpion, after all, she had heard that Scorpion's modus operandi was to slowly torture its prey rather than killing them directly.

The two of them waited outside the door for over eight hours, and the lights in the operating room only went out.

When Maxim was pushed out, the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet. He lay on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly closed, his face devoid of any color, completely unrecognizable from his usual decisive and commanding self.

The doctor took off the mask, his face looking somewhat grave.

"Mr. Yoder was injured in the car accident, and his previously injured leg was affected. There is a possibility that he may never be able to stand up again in the future. You should be mentally prepared for this."

In an instant, Briana's face turned pale, and she struggled to steady herself, saying, "I understand, thank you for your hard work, Dr. David."

"Well, Mr. Yoder is still in a critical condition at the moment. The next three days are crucial, so I will arrange for two nurses to take turns monitoring Mr. Yoder's condition. It would be best if you also assign someone to guard the entrance of the ward."

"Okay."

After Maxim was admitted to the ward, Rayan suddenly received a call from the head of the company's Public Relations Department.

"Rayan, there are rumors online that the CEO has been seriously injured in a car accident and admitted to the hospital. The shares of the Yoder Group have also been affected. Can you reach the CEO now?"

Rayan's face turned pale, "I'll be right back!"

Hanging up the phone, Rayan looked at Briana with some hesitation, about to speak, but Briana spoke first.

"You go ahead and take care of the company matters, I'll stay here and watch over him. If anything comes up, I'll contact you immediately."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Ms. Schneider."

After Rayan left, Briana immediately contacted a person on Line with a completely black profile picture and a blank username.

"Go and find out who spread the news about the Yoder Group's president being in a car accident!"

"OK!"

Briana put away her phone and glanced at Maxim lying on the hospital bed with a breathing machine. There was a hint of complex emotions in her eyes, hoping that this matter had nothing to do with Scorpion.

Soon, a message came into the phone.

"It has been confirmed that this news was released by someone from Scorpion."

Briana's face instantly turned serious, it was indeed Scorpion!

"Got it."

"If you need any help, feel free to contact me."

Briana did not return, and an inexplicable annoyance surged in her heart. She should have dealt with it decisively at that time, otherwise, this kind of thing would not have happened now.

The news of Maxim's car accident eventually couldn't be kept a secret. It was extensively reported by major newspapers, causing a direct drop of one point in the stock price of the Yoder Group.

After Norma learned the news, she became so anxious that she fainted. When she woke up, she hurriedly rushed to the hospital.

Seeing Maxim lying on the hospital bed, Norma's tears immediately fell, and her body trembled.

Briana quickly supported her, "Grandma, don't be too sad. Mr. Yoder must have safely passed the dangerous period!"

"Briana, if I had known that this would happen, I wouldn't have pushed him so hard to divorce you..."
