Chapter 906: Chapter 544: Adding Insult to Injury, Fire on Brocade (Part 2)
Zhou Zhongqing said something specific, but Tang Wan couldnât remember. It was probably that the situation was very critical and not optimistic.
Later, Shen Shuci signed a pile of consent forms, and the atmosphere at the entrance of the operating room was particularly tense.
Everyone gradually got word of it, even the Jiang Familyâs old lady called Jiang Jinsang to inquire about the situation, let alone others.
"You just mentioned a suspect. Who is it?" Jiang Chengsi walked over to him again.
"Master." Jiang Cuo rushed over, "You Shenming did come to the hospital."
"And then?" Jiang Jinsang inquired further.
Jiang Chengsi looked bewildered... You Shenming? Why is it him again? Is his suspect this bastard?
"He said he came to see a female friend."
"A female friend?"
Jiang Cuo gritted his teeth and spat out a name: "Xiang Xiaoyuan."
Jiang Chengsi was still bewildered, and Jiang Jinsang suddenly let out a laugh, feeling a chill down his neck, "Xiaowu, you donât suspect the two of them, do you..."
"You Shenming has been entangled in lawsuits recently, trying to bribe connections, and counter-sue that woman."
"I already knew about this."
"We also have someone here who has seen them together."
"Could it be the sister-in-law? Failed to persuade, then deliberately retaliated and framed?" Jiang Chengsi had already concocted a big drama in his head.
Jiang Jinsang glanced at him, seemingly doubting his intelligence.
"Why are you looking at me like that, am I wrong in my analysis?"
"It was Little Aunt who saw them."
"..." Jiang Chengsi had a severe headache, "I just wondered what that guy was doing at the hospital? I even thought he was sick because my brother kicked him."
"Third Brother kicked him?"
"This has to go back to last night; my brother suddenly asked me something about You Shenming for some inexplicable reason, then started making chemicals at home, I thought he wanted to poison You Shenming..." Jiang Chengsi briefly explained what happened that morning.
"When that guy saw my brother, his legs went weak. How could someone like him do such a thing?"
"And still frame others? The rumors are so vivid, if he were that smart, he wouldnât have been bitten back by that woman."
Jiang Jinsang sneered, "He doesnât, but it doesnât mean others donât."
"Are you talking about that little girl? Iâve met her a few times, always seemed reluctant to talk. Sheâs not a friend of sister-in-law, she..." Jiang Chengsi was feeling very confused, "What should we do now?"
"Letâs wait until Grandpa is safe and discuss it later."
...
The operation lasted from noon until dark, and quite a few people came and went, even the old lady and Fan Mingyu came. Considering Tang Wan was with child, none of the rumors were mentioned, and they just advised her to eat a little and get some rest.
Around nine in the evening, Old Shen was finally pushed out of the operating room, but was sent directly to the intensive care unit for observation. Only the old lady and Shen Shuci were allowed to take a look after getting doctorâs permission.
The night sky was heavy, the moon hidden by black clouds, a few stars scattered, emitting faint light.
In the intensive care area, family members couldnât enter. Some family members brought clothes and slept on the floor in the spacious area outside.
Tang Wan and the others were sitting in Zhou Zhongqingâs office, takeout meals in front of them. She only poked at the food with her chopsticks, having no appetite.
Meanwhile, You Shenming, upon hearing that Old Shen was still alive, was scared out of his wits again.
"Didnât you say he was dead?" Xiang Xiaoyuan pressed on.
"At the time I checked, he wasnât breathing! How was I supposed to know he wasnât dead? Did he wake up?"
"I heard things are very bad, heâs in the intensive care unit."
"You should go take a look."
"Iâm in the logistics department, that area even regular nurses canât go, how am I as a logistics intern supposed to get in?"
"What now? With the rumors spreading like this, if that old man wakes up, Iâm screwed, I might as well go abroad to lay low."
"Youâre going to run?"
"I know more than you about what kind of people the Jiang Family is, you falsely accused Tang Wan, Jiang Jinsang will have you killed later, I canât sit here and wait for death." You Shenming thought to himself and was ready to leave when his phone vibrated.
Seeing the caller ID, he was scared stiff.
"Hello...hello, Dad?"
Xiang Xiaoyuan saw him tremble during the call and couldnât help but frown, such a coward.
"Werenât Aunt and the others supposed to return to Beijing next month?"
"Isnât it because of your lawsuit, that Aunt had your cousin return early to check things out."
"Cousin... my cousin is back?"
"Get yourself back home immediately!"
You Shenming was scared silly, but if he was to leave the country, he needed his ID and passport, so he had to go back home, and upon returning, he was even more bewildered as his dad bluntly told him:
"Your cousin was worried youâd cause more trouble, so she had all your cards suspended, and she specifically sent someone to take your ID, driverâs license, passport... all of it."
The sky was already overcast, and now with a flash of lightning, You Shenming was dumbfounded.
"She said she feared Iâd go easy on you; without money or documents, you wonât be able to cause any trouble."
"She specifically contacted your group of âbad companionsâ, telling them not to lend you money."
"You always said your cousin treats you poorly, but see how much she cares about you. Canât you make me proud for once and stop embarrassing me?"
You Shenming was dumbstruck...
He certainly couldnât tell his dad he had hurt someone and was planning to flee the country.
The main issue was that all his documents were with his cousin, and without a legitimate reason, he couldnât get them back.
"Why is Cousin doing this?"
"She cares about you. She has your things safely held, and when she gets back, you can ask her for them in person."
"When is she coming back?"
His cousin wasnât even in Beijing, why meddle with his affairs? This was intentionally making things worse for him, practically under house arrest.
"I donât know, but this is good; now you can stay safely at home and not cause problems for me."
Little did he realize, heâd already stirred up a mess beyond measure...
Just as he contemplated sneaking out of the country, the situation changed; Old Shenâs condition continued to deteriorate, and it was reportedly proven that his accident wasnât an accident.
The police didnât have evidence related to the suspect, and rumors spread that Old Shen might not wake up, potentially never.
Based on the current circumstances and interviews with related hospital personnel, along with inquiries toward Tang Wan, it seemed she became a suspect in the investigation, leading to a clash with Shen Shuci.
Even the little prince of the Jiang Family who went to the hospital was so frightened that he cried...
No evidence, Old Shen couldnât wake up, Tang Wan was under investigation... all this was undoubtedly good news for You Shenming. As long as there was no evidence and the old man didnât wake, heâd be fine.
The fact that it actually led to a dispute between Tang Wan and Shen Shuci suggested that Old Shenâs condition was indeed dire.
He even called Xiang Xiaoyuan for confirmation, "Itâs true, Iâm at the hospital. The two of them are fighting fiercely. Old Shen is in bad shape, critically ill, likely wonât wake."
"And because the argument was so severe, it had a negative impact on the hospital environment, and they were taken to the police station."
"You could ask around for more information."
...
You Shenming breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if he didnât need to sneak out?
He couldnât leave Beijing, yet others were rushing to this city...
As night deepened, the Beijing circle was ablaze, no one dared to sleep, all observing the unfolding situation, countless people squatting at the police station entrance.
