Team Leader Hong sat in the middle, not in a hurry at all, "Mr. Lin, we will naturally find out the truth of the matter."
Lin Jianguo certainly could not afford to be calm, if Luo Zhuzhu were to spout nonsense and implicate him, it wouldn’t be good for him, "Team Leader Hong, I truly had no knowledge of Luo Yuzhu attempting to kidnap Su Peng. I also didn’t know she would do such a thing in a bid to please me and my mother. I came here today not to make a case for her, but to tell you that whatever judgement you make, I have no objections."
"Lin Jianguo." Luo Yuzhu originally thought that Lin Jianguo had come to plead for her, but upon hearing Lin Jianguo’s piercing words, she reacted as if a fierce dog asleep had its tail stepped on, instantly baring her ferocious fangs, "Can’t you have a conscience when you speak? Who was it for, and who asked me to go after Xiaofeng and frame the Wu Family? Yes, I didn’t get it done, and even messed it up, it’s fine if you don’t plead for me, but to kick me when I’m down."
In the past few days, the person Luo Yuzhu most wanted to see was Lin Jianguo, hoping for a few kind words from him, or a word that could offer her some relief.
Yes, he came, and as soon as he did, he sealed her fate—how could she endure these past days of repression with not one word of concern from Lin Jianguo’s accusations.
Lin Jianguo stood up, his expression noticeably displeased, "Luo Yuzhu, don’t make it sound so noble as if it were for me; ultimately, it was all for yourself. What do the Wu Family’s affairs have to do with me? Why would I frame the Wu Family? Don’t spout nonsense here, because if you do, even though we are husband and wife, there will be no affection to speak of."
This Luo Yuzhu, bringing up the Wu Family at such a sensitive juncture—was she thinking he wasn’t dying fast enough, or was it that she wanted others to be unaware?
I always thought Luo Yuzhu was foolish, but now I find her to be hopelessly stupid, without a shred of intelligence.
Luo Yuzhu, hearing his half-threatening words, suddenly fell silent.
Although Lin Jianguo appeared to be non-confrontational, in reality, he was ruthless in his actions, otherwise Wu Changquan would not have fallen into his hands this time.
Moreover, even if she didn’t think of herself, she had to consider Yueyue; if she turned against Lin Jianguo, Lin Yue would be the one most hurt.
"I was also speaking rashly in a moment of panic. Team Leader Hong, I admit I am guilty; all of this was my own doing and has nothing to do with any member of the Lin Family," Luo Yuzhu bowed her head, not wanting to look at Lin Jianguo.
She now only hoped that Lin Jianguo would treat Lin Yue well. As for herself, she had just seen an ominous sign in Lin Jianguo’s eyes. What her fate would be, only heaven knew.
"Is that so?" Wu Yifan, accompanied by several staff members, arrived at the door, "Luo Yuzhu, don’t be hasty to take the blame, I have some big news here."
"Master Wu, what winds have blown you here?" Team Leader Hong looked at his bustling interrogation room and tapped his finger on the table.
In the hospital, Ye Cheng arranged the prepared Silver Needles in a straight line, all of which he had thoroughly disinfected, ready for the upcoming acupuncture session.
To not disturb the effectiveness of the acupuncture, Ye Cheng allowed only Xiaofeng to stay, asking He Ximei and her husband to go home and come back after an hour.
Neither spouse dared to leave, waiting outside quietly, simply wishing to see Su Peng as soon as Ye Cheng finished with the acupuncture.
Ye Cheng looked at the unconscious Su Peng, helped him remove the bandages on his head, and once again checked his cardiac pulse and other indicators.
Xiaofeng stood by, ready to assist him at any time.
She had searched the same in her space all night yesterday, still without any discovery. In Xiaoqi’s words, it probably hadn’t grown yet.
After all, something that should grow in July, there’s a chance it didn’t sprout earlier.
Ye Cheng’s hands were beautiful, a pair naturally suited for holding Silver Needles or a scalpel, his expression focused, carrying out each step methodically and sensibly.
"Hand me needle number one."
Ye Cheng knew the numbering of his Silver Needles by heart; Xiaofeng, with her disinfected gloves on and holding a pair of tweezers, handed him whichever needle he requested.
Quietly watching Ye Cheng, his profile was attractive, conveying a sense of solid strength, and his hair, dense and black like the sea’s froth.
His shoulders were broad and strong, his legs long and lean.
No matter how she looked at him, he was top quality.
This top-quality man was her man.
Reborn anew, her Golden Finger had opened quite wide, not only did she have a space, but she’d also conceived twins; and besides the twins, she had been gifted such a perfect husband.
Half an hour later, dark blood began to seep from the silver needles.
Ye Cheng glanced at the time and, when the moment arrived, collected all the silver needles and wiped the bloodstains from them.
"So this is a success?" Xiaofeng asked in a low voice as she saw Ye Cheng gathering the silver needles.
"More successful than I had anticipated," Ye Cheng felt that Su Peng’s body was in better condition than he had imagined. It was as if his body knew he was about to undergo surgery and was very cooperative.
He had thought that the first treatment might not be very effective, but the results were remarkably good.
Hearing Ye Cheng’s words, Xiaofeng rejoiced, "Does that mean that after two more sessions, big brother will soon wake up?"
"If the next two sessions go as smoothly as this one, he will definitely wake up. However, what state he will be in after waking up, I can’t say for sure right now."
Xiaofeng understood that this wasn’t the 21st century; the hospital lacked many devices to precisely assess the brain nerves and others of her big brother.
It seemed she needed to accelerate her search for the Revival Herb. If she could find it before Ye Cheng completed the acupuncture, to repair the previously damaged brain nerves of her big brother, everything would be perfect.
There was no way her big brother would recover spontaneously. If he were saved and restored by Ye Cheng, no one would have grounds for doubt.
"Ye Cheng, how was it? Did it go well?" He Ximei was very nervous when she heard she could enter the room, her eyes involuntarily shifting toward Pengzi.
"Mom, big brother’s acupuncture went very well. If the next two sessions continue to be this successful, he’ll wake up in the next few days," Ye Cheng had finished packing up his silver needles.
"Good, thank you, thank you." He Ximei felt relieved to hear this news. She was glad the acupuncture was effective. The thought of Pengzi undergoing surgery to open up his skull was frightening to her.
She was afraid that Pengzi might be lost in a single careless moment.
He Ximei and her husband stayed at the hospital to care for Su Peng, while Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng headed home.
Just as they got home, they saw Wu Yifan and his brothers arriving at their house, and to their surprise, Captain Hong was also present.
When Captain Hong saw them return, he continued to drink tea.
Wu Yifan did not expect Ye Cheng to be back, and upon seeing him, he respectfully stood up, "Doctor Ye, when did you get back?"
"Cheng Ge, when did you get back? I didn’t hear anything from sister-in-law," Ershun said excitedly when he saw Ye Cheng. "That’s right, with big brother Su in trouble, how could you stand by."
"Is big brother Su doing better now?" Wu Yifan asked.
"Ye Cheng is treating big brother, and he should wake up in the coming days. Why have you guys come over? Is everything alright at home?" There should have been a lot of things keeping the brothers busy at present; she wondered how they had time to visit.
"There’s been progress in the case," Captain Hong placed his tea cup down. "After confirmation, we can ascertain that Lin Jianguo was the driver responsible for Su Peng’s car accident."
If Lin Jianguo hadn’t come looking for Luo Yuzhu, the married couple wouldn’t have turned on each other.
Xiaofeng was surprised upon hearing this, "Lin Jianguo, he had no reason to harm big brother. Did he do it on purpose?"
Wu Yifan stood up, "After your big brother escaped from those two men, he ran into Lin Jianguo, who had just finished his business and was on his way home. Your big brother might have seen Jianguo as a good person and asked him for help getting back to your factory. Your big brother was lost and didn’t know which road to take home. Naturally, he grasped at Jianguo as a lifeline when he saw him."
"Lin Jianguo had just completed a transaction and had a large sum of cash in his car, which your big brother saw. He remarked, ’That’s a lot of money.’"
Captain Hong stood up, "That comment triggered malicious intent in Lin Jianguo. He asked Su Peng to pick up something for him in the front. Su Peng complied, but what awaited him was Lin Jianguo’s car speeding towards him."
The more Xiaofeng heard, the more anger built up inside her. How could Lin Jianguo do this?
"How did you find out it was him?" Ye Cheng pressed his lips together. If that was the case, this was a heinous act.
"It’s quite coincidental," Wu Yifan stood up."The man who traded with Lin Jianguo had previously shown an interest in collaborating with my father. My father didn’t agree but told me to keep a close watch on him. Suspecting something fishy with Lin Jianguo’s half-hearted offers, I kept tabs on that man, and he soon confessed everything."
"As for the car accident, he confessed to that as well. He said it was his first time cooperating with Lin Jianguo, and he wasn’t entirely at ease, so he secretly followed Lin Jianguo’s car for a while. And it was this that allowed him to witness Lin Jianguo’s deliberate attempt at harming someone," Wu Yifan continued.
"Lin Jianguo himself has also confessed, saying he was afraid that Su Peng would speak erratically in front of you, arousing your suspicions, so he decided to take action against Su Peng," Wu Ershun felt Lin Jianguo was less than human, an animal–no, worse than an animal.
