"You are illegally detaining me!"
Jiang Chengsi stayed silent, took his phone out of his pocket, and threw it onto the bed, "Call the police! Arrest me."
He was arrogantly domineering.
Du Jinglan pressed her hand against her stomach, the pain turning her face deathly pale as she looked at him; her heart sinking bit by bit. She had been too hasty since the warning from Shen Zhixian at the hospital.
She had never expected Jiang Chengsi to bring someone along! With Shen Zhixian at the hospital inquiring when the old master would wake, how could she not be anxious?
"What now? Going to make a call, or do you want me to help?" Jiang Chengsi squatted down, his eyes level with hers, "You were quite powerful back in the hospital, weren’t you?"
"Why are you silent now?"
"You accuse me of restricting your freedom, but how does that compare to you deliberately murdering someone..."
Du Jinglan shuddered, her face twitching violently, if only for a moment, as she looked at Jiang Chengsi, "What are you talking about?"
Meanwhile, the unfortunate other person abandoned her luggage and turned to run. Du Jinglan stared after her, but just as her figure had disappeared, she saw her slowly coming back, her body trembling...
Then, she stumbled over a water bottle that had just fallen to the ground...
Caught off guard, she staggered and faltered.
"Ah—" the woman screamed as she fell to the ground.
The next second, Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian appeared in the room.
Accompanying them were Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan, especially Jiang Jinsang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, wrapped in a blanket, holding a thermos cup, clearly there to watch the drama, just like...
"What, scared upon seeing me, Nurse Fo, did you hurt yourself?" Shen Zhixian looked at the woman on the ground, reaching out his hand.
Her name was Fo Jie, Shen Zhixian’s birth assistant nurse. Jiang Chengsi had tried to find out more about her before, but since she seemed very proper and had an excellent reputation at the hospital, he hadn’t investigated her deeply when the time came.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the tall man beside her, whom she had seen during the day. His expression was cold, and now even more so, his face deadly serious, looking like a god of death, his gaze even more murderously sharp.
Any bit of sleepiness was completely scared away.
Fo Jie dared not touch her hand and dressed herself from the ground, but ended up with a wet bottom, extremely annoyed.
The atmosphere in the guest room was extremely eerie until "click—" twice, all the room’s lights were turned on, breaking the silence.
Jiang Jinsang withdrew his hand, looked at everyone, "The light was too dim, my body isn’t well, my eyes aren’t good, this light is more comfortable."
Tang Wan coughed lightly, coming to watch a drama, only to find so much going on.
Du Jinglan also stood up, looking at Shen Zhixian, "What are you trying to do? With so many people, are you really planning on detaining me illegally?"
"Detain?" Shen Zhixian scoffed softly, "And what about the people you intentionally harmed?"
"Nonsense." The hotel room’s entrance had only a narrow hallway, completely blocked by Jiang Jinsang’s wheelchair. If she wanted to get out, she might have to grow wings and fly over him.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Shen Zhixian countered.
"You... what are you here for?" Du Jinglan was clearly panicked, her speech becoming disordered.
"Throwing bait naturally means fishing, waiting for the fish to take the bait," Jiang Chengsi smirked.
"Was it you who was behind Jiangjiang’s incident back then?" Shen Zhixian cut straight to the point.
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about? Let me go..."
Du Jinglan was not typically a shameless person, nor had she faced such a spectacle. Confused, she still only wanted to leave this place of conflict, but just as she was passing by Shen Zhixian, her forearm was suddenly grabbed.
She struggled a bit, Shen Zhixian exerted all his strength, tightly gripping her, the pain making her gasp for air.
"I called you sister-in-law, treated you like family, why did you do this?" Shen Zhixian struggled to control himself, managing to keep his voice from trembling.
"When I was giving birth at the hospital, you sabotaged me?"
"When Jiangjiang was born, he was merely weak, yet you tampered with him, telling me the child was gone, causing me to have a hemorrhage after giving birth to Taotao, nearly losing my life, and leaving me with lingering ailments."

"Let go, let go of me..." The grip on her forearm was like an iron hoop, painfully dulling her heart. She had been drained of most of her strength in the struggle with Jiang Chengsi, and now she had no energy left.
