"This... I’m not quite sure either."
The busy tone quickly came from the other end of the phone. Mu Chen put down his phone, gently petted the Garfield cat in his arms, and a playful smile curved on his lips, "Officer, we’re in for some good drama next."
After Lin Yixun was brought into the police station, Cheng Ying received the news. She coldly lifted her lips, but her voice remained gentle and charming, "Thank you for this, Director Wen."
"Miss Cheng, there’s no need to mention it. As public servants, we’re just doing our duty. Besides, President Leng is one of the most important investors in the Northern New District project in T city, and I share some connections with him. Both in public and private terms, I should seek justice for him."
"Thank you for your trouble, Director Wen."
Cheng Ying thanked him with a smile, exchanged a few pleasantries, and hung up the phone, feeling inexplicably pleased.
Lin Yixun, oh Lin Yixun, you were lucky last time with Xing Yi covering for you. This time, you walked right into the trap yourself. Don’t blame me for catching you.
You’re definitely going to eat prison food this time.
When Cheng Ying returned to the ward, Leng Yixiu was already awake. Upon seeing this, Cheng Ying was overjoyed and immediately sent for the doctor.
After a thorough examination, the doctor’s expression eased a lot, but Cheng Ying was still uneasy, "Doctor, how is he?"
"Miss Cheng, Mr. Leng’s wounds are no longer a significant issue. After some time recuperating in the hospital, he can be discharged."
"That’s great, that’s really great!" Cheng Ying couldn’t hide her excitement, cheerfully sent off the doctor, and then returned to the ward.
"Yixiu, do you know you almost scared me to death this time!"
"Yes, sir, Miss Cheng was terribly worried while you were unconscious," the butler echoed.
The man raised his hand gently, touching Cheng Ying’s cheek softly, "I’m fine."
"Don’t say you’re fine. The doctor said if the wound were any deeper, you would have lost your life! How could Lin Yixun be so ruthless to harm you this way?"
"Lin Yixun?" The man’s brows furrowed slightly. He turned his gaze to the butler and questioned, "Butler, what’s going on here?"
"Yixiu, don’t blame the butler. I forced him to tell me."
Remembering how the man had the butler intentionally keep it a secret and even instructed to spare Lin Yixun before falling unconscious, Cheng Ying felt a pang in her heart. But she didn’t show it, still maintaining an understanding demeanor, "Yixiu, I know you have been feeling guilty toward Lin Yixun over what happened four years ago. I understand your feelings as I’ve also wanted to make it up to her more than once. But Yixiu, it still hurts me to see her harm you ."
The man’s expression softened a bit, and he lightly patted Cheng Ying’s shoulder, "Ying’er, I will handle this matter myself."
Just then, a phone rang in the ward. The butler followed the sound, found the phone, and handed it to Leng Yixiu.
Leng Yixiu took the phone, pressed the answer button, and a man’s voice came from the other end, "Hello, I’m an officer from the city police department investigating Mr. Leng’s case. May I ask if Mr. Leng is awake?"
The man’s lips turned downward, and he cast a cold glance at Cheng Ying before speaking, "This is Leng Yixiu. How can I help you?"
"Here’s the thing, last night we received a report saying you were stabbed and fell into a coma. After verifying, the report was confirmed. This morning, we arrested the suspect who hurt you. During the interrogation, there’s some discrepancy between the suspect’s statement and your report..."
