Nian Junting looked grim. “Why do you have to get her? She wasn’t even present tonight. She knows nothing about what happened.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Nian. According to the suspect, her motive was to seek revenge on your girlfriend, so…” Captain Xiao shrugged. “It’s the old lady’s birthday today. There were important military personnel present as well as entrepreneurs and leaders of various fields. I was instructed by my superior to investigate the case thoroughly. Although Zhong Yi is no longer as popular as before, she is still a public figure. I am sure there will be many reporters and paparazzi at the door tomorrow.”
Nian Junting frowned. He understood that they had a protocol to follow, and he couldn’t make them compromise. He walked to the door before he turned to say, “As a public citizen, I think it’s necessary to provide some information. I saw Miao Zheng and Zhong Yi outside a few days ago. He was kicking and beating her in public. Coupled with the injuries on her body, I strongly suspect that he has abusive habits. If he hadn’t pushed her to the edge, I don’t think she would have gone to this extreme.”
“Mr. Nian, if Miao Zheng insists that both parties were willing, and everything was done after consent, we can’t do anything if Zhong Yi doesn’t wish to press charges. We can only charge him with a minor offense,” Captain Xiao said helplessly.
Captain Xiao had mentioned this before. Nian Junting was out of ideas, too. He thought about how Miao Zheng shirked all responsibilities at the hospital and felt the rage boiling inside him again. He called Lu Kang. “Let the media know that the CEO of Bingyang Group, Miao Zheng, has been abusing Zhong Yi. I’m sure the reporters will be able to find concrete evidence sooner or later.”
Lu Kang said, “Your Second Uncle is a shareholder of Bingyang Group. He will surely suffer financial losses if we leak this information.”
“I am not only going to cause the stocks to drop, but I am also going to ruin the entire company. Miao Zheng will never stand again,” Nian Junting said angrily. He hung up and checked his phone. He had many missed calls. Some were from Nian Qingyun, and some were from Nian Xi and Luosang. Luosang had called him at around six o’clock. It had been too noisy at the banquet then, and he hadn’t heard it.
He dialed her back, but there was no response. He figured she would be in the studio, and he knew she switched her phone to silent mode every time she went to work. He had no choice but to send her a message instead. Call me back once you see this. I have something important to talk to you about.
He drove back to the hospital promptly. Grandma Nian was at the hospital, and Leng Shuangwei was there, too. After saving his grandma, he couldn’t leave them there.
Leng Shuangwei was admitted to the ICU ward, and Nian Junting wasn’t allowed inside. He could only watch her from afar, through the glass window. She was hooked up to a ventilator and multiple IVs, still unconscious.
His heart was heavy. Although he no longer liked Leng Shuangwei, they were still childhood friends who had grown up together. If not for her, he would have lost his grandma this time.
He felt sorry and guilty about the fact that she was in such a state now, and that she might not be able to have her own children in the future, but that shouldn’t be the reason why he should marry her.
Outside the ward, it was only Nian Xi and Jiang Qifei. They were sitting on opposite ends of the bench. Jiang Qifei was sobbing and muttering to herself, “My poor daughter, what will she do if she can’t get pregnant for the rest of her life?”
“Brother, the police just came to take Miao Zheng away.” Nian Xi stood up and whispered, “Uncle Leng is at the police station, too.”
Nian Junting nodded. “Where is everyone else? Why are you alone?”
