Back to the 80s: Pretending to Be in Debt to Escape Misery

In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...

167. Chapter 167 Take the blame?

My hand unconsciously moved to the painful ribs, then dropped it.

I don’t want to make Chu Xuan worry.

He didn't cry out in pain, but said lightly, "I'm not hurt. Don't worry!"

Doctor Zhang was right across from Mu Chenze and could tell where he was in pain at a glance.

"Young man, don't try to be so arrogant. Your ribs clearly hurt, but you refuse to admit it. If your ribs are broken and you don't get treated in time, and then your ribs get stuck in your lungs, it could turn a small problem into a big one. Let me take a look."

Mu Chenze was about to refuse when Chu Xuan's concerned voice rang out, "You have to see him. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease. Doctor Zhang, please help him here!"

As soon as Chu Xuan spoke, Mu Chenze immediately obeyed.

He lifted up his shirt to reveal his anti-cutting vest, and Dr. Zhang helped lift it up.

Bruising on the left ribs.

After an examination, it was concluded that the ribs were slightly bruised and not broken, but he needed to rest in bed for at least 3 days and take some Chinese medicine pills.

Doctor Zhang was absolutely a godsend. He specifically told Chu Xuan, "It was Mu Chenze who, despite the pain, carried you to the emergency room in time. Otherwise, you would have been asleep until this time tomorrow. You should thank him profusely."

In fact, Doctor Zhang could see that there was something wrong with Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan.

I don't mind saying a few good words for Mu Chenze.

Chu Xuan rubbed her face with both hands to feel more energetic. "I should really thank him. Doctor Zhang, I have to thank you too! Without the medicine you prescribed to help me regulate my body and help me lose weight, Mu Chenze definitely wouldn't be able to carry me today."

This made Mu Chenze and Doctor Zhang laugh.

However, Mu Chenze was covering the injured area.

Doctor Zhang hurriedly stopped him, "Mu Chenze, hold back your laughter. The more you laugh, the more it hurts."

Mu Chenze felt even more pain and immediately held back his laughter.

Doctor Zhang went to the pharmacy to prepare Chinese medicine pills for Mu Chenze.

At this moment, Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan were the only ones left in the clinic.

Mu Chenze seized the opportunity and briefly mentioned to Chu Xuan the arrest of Liang Shi and Feng Chunhua.

Because they had to rush to the city security team to take a statement, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze did not stay in the hospital for long. Mu Chenze temporarily hired a car and driver to take him and Chu Xuan to the city.

Leave the Chinese medicine pills with Doctor Zhang for now and get them when you come back.

Along the way, because the driver was present, they didn't say anything.

When they arrived at the city security team, Mu Chenze paid the fare and watched the car drive away before he started chatting with Chu Xuan.

"Your calculations were spot on. Feng Chunhua really risked her life to save Liang Shi. She attacked Min Yi with a knife. How did you know she would do that?"

Yesterday, Feng Shazi's parents went to Feng Chunhua's house and coaxed Feng Shazi away. Feng Chunhua was afraid that the fool would come back, so she didn't dare to stay at home. She hired a carriage and hid in Chu Zhi's ward in the county hospital. Since she had money, she simply arranged to be hospitalized for treatment of her injured leg.

Chu Xuan had long had enough of Feng Chunhua.

Today, Chu Xuan asked someone to reveal the news to Feng Chunhua at the right time in advance, saying that Chu Xuan wanted to capture Liang Shi in a secluded alley near the county market.

Feng Chunhua is like a moth flying into a flame.

This time I have to go in with Liang Shi.

Chu Xuan smiled calmly, "It's just my intuition. Liang Shi is about the same age as Feng Chunhua, so he's definitely not her eldest son. I feel like they might be a couple. And I also feel like her eldest son must be alive, and it's very likely he's not Chu Dashan's son, but Liang Shi's son. Otherwise, Liang Shi's actions don't make sense."

Logically speaking, Chu Xuan and Liang Shi had no grudges against each other, and Liang Shi should not have hurt her again and again, but he did it anyway.

Chu Xuan did have a grudge against Feng Chunhua, but Feng Chunhua was old and ugly, and Liang Shi would never hold it against Chu Xuan because of Feng Chunhua.

There is only one possibility, that Chu Xuan is hindering the interests of Liang Shi or Liang Shi's son, so they want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Mu Chenze said softly, "I will tell Min Yi your conclusion word for word. This will help him in his investigation of Liang Shi and Feng Chunhua."

Chu Xuan's eyes fell on the place where he was injured, feeling very distressed. "Your ribs still hurt. Try to be less talkative. I can talk to him."

It felt good to be loved by Chu Xuan. Mu Chenze couldn't help but smile, "Okay then! But I have to stay by your side."

Chu Xuan was somewhat helpless, "Your classmate is not a tiger, how can he eat me?"

Mu Chenze raised the corner of his mouth. "He is definitely not a tiger, but he is a single man. With me here, I can always remind him that you are a beautiful woman with a boyfriend."

Chu Xuan blushed, "Who's got a boyfriend? I haven't even agreed to be your date yet!"

"The moment Liang Shi was arrested, you became my partner. Stop arguing with me, my ribs hurt..."

When Chu Xuan thought about the reason for his injury, he had no choice but to surrender, "Okay, I won't argue with you."

We'll negotiate again after his injury heals.

"Help me up. My ribs hurt so much that I can't stand."

Chu Xuan reached out to help him without hesitation.

The two of them walked into Min Yi's office in the Municipal Security Team together.

Min Yi saw Mu Chenze half-leaning on Chu Xuan and couldn't help but tease him, "Back in the county, you were full of energy, carrying Chu Xuan on your back and running to the hospital. How did you become like this now? Are you deliberately taking advantage of girls?"

Mu Chenze covered his ribs and introduced in a low voice, "Xiao Xuan, this is my classmate Min Yi."

"He definitely didn't take advantage of me on purpose. He was truly injured, as evidenced by the medical records." Chu Xuan said this with a grateful smile. "Comrade Min, thank you and your colleagues for your help. Otherwise, Mu Chenze and I would have ended up in that alley today. He was worried that I was poisoned, so he ignored the rib contusion and sent me to the hospital. He only let the doctor check me out after confirming that I was okay. Currently, I can't speak loudly and I can't stand steadily. The doctor told me to rest in bed for at least three days. I'll let him go home and lie down after we finish taking the statement. I'll help him to the chair first."

Min Yi swiftly moved a chair over and said, "Hurry up and let him sit down. This is also my fault. I had something important to do and couldn't get to the scene right away."

Mu Chenze hurriedly said, "You arrived just in time!"

How can I get Chu Xuan's care if I don't get hurt?

After Mu Chenze sat firmly, Min Yi said with a smile, "After taking the statement, we have to ask him to do an injury assessment. By the way, his clothes and anti-cutting clothes must be left behind. Let him wear one of my plain clothes later."

Mu Chenze nodded in agreement and gave Chu Xuan a warning look.

Chu Xuan understood and told him in detail his speculation about the relationship between Feng Chunhua and Liang Shi, as well as Feng Chunhua's eldest son.

After hearing this, Min Yi gave Chu Xuan a thumbs up.

In fact, Min Yi has found out that Yuan Tian is Feng Chunhua's daughter. Now it seems that Yuan Tian may not be a member of the Yuan family.

Just then, Min Yi's colleague came in and whispered something to Min Yi.

Min Yi nodded to indicate that he understood, and after watching his colleague leave, he spoke again.

"Feng Chunhua took all the blame, saying Liang Shi was mentally ill and that she was the one who instigated Liang Shi to kill Chu Xuan. It was as if Liang Shi had a telepathic connection! They had never met, but Liang Shi was deliberately pretending to be mentally ill and was now eating the fabric of his own clothes."

Mu Chenze suddenly thought of Feng Chunhua's professional tumbling and Liang Shi's boxing and kicking skills, "They must have received special training."

This reminded Chu Xuan, "Could they be sent from another country?" (End of this chapter)
