Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With the police involved, Director Li now had a reason to keep everyone at the psychiatric hospital.
When Officer Song arrived with his team, Xia Wan explained the situation to him and then left with Chen Mo.
“Aren’t we staying to wait for the results?” Chen MO asked, puzzled.
“Staying might mean we end up knowing nothing, ” Xia Wan replied, pulling Chen MO towards the exit of the sanatorium.
Chen MO, still confused, got into the car with a frown, lost in thought.
Xia Wan took a deep breath in the car and explained the situation to Chen Mo.
“The sudden fainting of Xia Ru was probably done by someone inside the sanatorium, ” Xia Wan said, pulling out a small bottle from her bag.
The bottle contained some reddish-brown liquid that looked like blood.
“But, when I tested the poison on Xia Ru, it wasn’t injected all at once. It was administered slowly over time.”
“Administered orally?” Chen MO asked in surprise, “What is this?”
“Yes, the poison was ingested,” Xia Wan nodded, handing the small bottle to
Chen MO, “This is a blood sample.”
Chen MO was startled, “This is Xia Ru’s blood?”
“Yes!” Xia Wan confirmed, then looked at Chen MO, “Can you see anything wrong with this blood?”
“How could I…” Chen MO, though hesitant, examined the small bottle closely.
After a while, he suddenly exclaimed, “What are these grey-white specks?”
“That’s exactly what I want to find out,” Xia Wan nodded, “This substance has entered the bloodstream, so it wasn’t administered in one go. We need to figure out what it is, when, and how Xia Ru ingested it.”
“Shouldn’t this be sent to a hospital for analysis?” Chen MO asked. He might not understand medicine, but he knew this much.
“They might not be able to see much just by looking at it, even if Xia Wan is a skilled doctor.”
“It’s already been sent to the hospital,” Xia Wan said calmly.
“Sent? When?” Chen MO was surprised.
He had been there all along, and Xia Wan had not left his sight. How could she have sent the blood sample for testing without him noticing?
Chen MO pondered deeply, while Xia Wan didn’t rush to explain.
“Let’s go,” Xia Wan suggested, “We’ll leave this matter to Director Li and Officer Song. Let’s go back and see if there’s any news about my parents.”
“Okay,” Chen MO replied, starting the car.
Soon after they left the sanatorium, a black sedan slowly drove up from another road.
“Now that the police are inside, what do we do?” the man with the crew cut, gripping the steering wheel, glanced towards the sanatorium and asked.
“Did that woman say anything?” Jiang Lu, looking tense with dark circles under his eyes, seemed exhausted.
“I asked her several times, but she said she knew nothing,” the crew-cut man spat, frustrated, “I don’t know if this stupid woman is tight-lipped or if the clerk really didn’t tell her anything!”
“Now that the clerk has been caught, it’s even harder to find those things,” Jiang Lu said through clenched teeth.
“Do you think the Xia couple knows anything? Or maybe we could…” the crew-cut man began to suggest.
“Don’t bother with such useless thoughts!” Jiang Lu immediately rejected the idea, “If they really knew something, Xia Jiang would have found out when he asked. Xia Hai would have spilled everything by now!”
“That makes sense,” the crew-cut man sighed, “I’ve never seen such honest people. Even when they’re being taken advantage of, they still plead for their betrayer!”
“Enough! Stop talking nonsense!” Jiang Lu grew more impatient, “Go and make sure that place is closely watched. The Xia couple can’t show up for now.”
“I know! Don’t worry,” the crew-cut man nodded, then looked at the sanatorium again, “What about this place? What do we do?”
“Find a chance to get the person out without ruining our plans,” Jiang Lu said coldly, “And for the rest, destroy whatever you can.. Don’t let anyone know this has anything to do with us!”
