Chapter 653: Chapter 646: Schemes (Part 1)
After learning about Wu Chengzuâs suicide attempt, Gao Sheng immediately applied to higher authorities to get approval for Wu Chengzu to receive medical treatment outside.
Before Wu Chengzu faces legal judgment, Gao Sheng will not allow him to end his life this way.
When Wu Chengzu was sent to the hospital, he had temporarily lost his breath. After the doctors rescued him, his various vital signs gradually began to recover.
At this point, everyone had to admire Wu Chengzu; he truly was a formidable character. Not only was he ruthless to others, but he could also be so harsh on himself.
Under such tight and high-level surveillance in the detention center, Wu Chengzu couldnât find any sharp objects to commit suicide, so he used his own nails to gouge a cut on his neck and had bruises on his forehead from hitting the wall.
When Xiao Feng saw Wu Chengzu bleeding endlessly, his heart filled with shock; it was simply too cruel.
Wu Chengzuâs life was considered saved by the doctors, and the police consulted the doctors on when Wu Chengzu could be discharged.
The doctorsâ answer was to observe him for three days, and if no other symptoms appeared, he could return to the detention center for rehabilitation.
Everyone knew Wu Chengzu was a serious criminal, and the hospital didnât want to keep him.
Wu Chengzuâs ward was heavily guarded from inside out, and given his weakened state, the police were not worried about him attempting to escape.
However, his motivation for suicide remained unclear, as he did not speak about it when asked. Gao Sheng thought perhaps it was the incident of Yao Zhiqing absconding with funds that provoked him, leading to suicidal thoughts. But soon, Gao Sheng dismissed this idea. To date, Wu Chengzu had not seen Wu Jingjing, and without ensuring his daughterâs safety, he wouldnât easily end his life.

On one side, Gao Sheng was troubled due to Wu Chengzuâs suicide attempt.
On the other side, Bai Yiran was distressed because Yao Zhiqingâs company was being investigated and sealed, which directly led to the employees entirely losing their jobs.
Knowing Bai Yiranâs special identity, many colleagues started calling her, hoping she could help arrange entry into Huamei International or use her connections to find other jobs.
For a while, Bai Yiran became a job referral agent.
However, she really couldnât easily open the door to Huamei International. She could only arrange entry for those she deemed competent, and Brother Zhou was one of them.
As for the other colleagues, Bai Yiran didnât plan to help; she really couldnât manage it all. She wasnât their mother, and just because she had this identity doesnât mean she had the obligation.
At home, Bai Yiran was changing clothes for Xiao Xi when her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, it was Brother Zhou; without thinking, she answered, "Brother Zhou, whatâs up?"
"Yiran, are you free now? Iâd like to take you out for dinner to thank you for finding me a job."
Bai Yiran smiled, "No need, youâve taken good care of me before."
"Itâs different; anyway, just come out."
Brother Zhouâs attitude was firm, and Bai Yiran couldnât refuse. Thinking it had been a while since sheâd seen him, she agreed.
Truthfully, she was also bored staying at home, changed her clothes, and after telling Sister Liu, left the house.
Arriving at the agreed place with Brother Zhou, since she had already eaten lunch, Bai Yiran picked a café, thinking they could just drink and chat.
However, today Brother Zhou seemed a bit unusual, always distracted, his legs trembling nonstop.
Bai Yiran looked at him and laughed, "Brother Zhou, whatâs going on? Why are your legs shaking? Do you need to use the bathroom?"
She thought Brother Zhou might be in urgent need, or else why would someone who usually doesnât shake his legs keep doing so?
Brother Zhou froze, his legs immediately stopped trembling, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Yiran, if I did something that let you down, please forgive me. I was certainly forced."
Bai Yiran was perplexed by Brother Zhouâs words, "Let me down? What could you possibly do that would let me down?"
Brother Zhou smiled awkwardly, "Nothing..." eyes turning toward the window, his legs unconsciously starting to shake again.
