Chapter 292 Since this world won't let her go, then let's all be destroyed together.

Even though Shen Aizhu is dead, she was a happy person in her own eyes, because no one had ever cared for her to that extent.

"He hanged himself while kneeling, using a bed sheet. He wasn't breathing when he was found. He was taken to the hospital and kept alive on a CPR machine while waiting for Madam Shen to arrive..."

Yue Zheng paused for a moment after saying this.

"Madam Shen should have arrived by now."

Liang Yizhi thought for a moment, then turned to look at Ji Ying, "I'm going to take a look."

Just as Ji Ying was about to speak, Yue Zheng reported again: "Before Shen Aizhu died, she left a suicide note in which she kept accusing Madam, saying that Madam had been persecuting her because of personal grudges and using her power to drive her to her death, which made her desperate. She also said that she died unwillingly, but there was nothing she could do, because she hated Madam."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi frowned deeply.

“Sir,” Yue Zheng said, not daring to look up at Ji Ying, “although the entire letter is slandering Madam, if this matter is not handled properly, it will also affect your reputation.”

"What do you want me to do?" Ji Ying asked calmly. "I'll also hang myself, leave a suicide note, and protect your husband's reputation?"

"Yingying!" Liang Yizhi grasped her hand again. "I'll find a way to handle this. Don't overthink it."

Ji Ying wasn't angry at Yue Zheng; she was simply tired of the world.

“Liang Yizhi, I’m a huge problem. Maybe I’m really destined to bring bad luck to my husband. We shouldn’t have been together in the first place.”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

No sooner had Liang Yizhi finished speaking than Jiang Ran came running over.

"Sir, Sister Ying, Madam Shen has instructed the doctor to shut down Miss Xiao's life support system and stop her life-sustaining medication."

Ji Ying immediately abandoned Liang Yizhi and rushed to Xiao Xia's intensive care unit.

Madam Shen hadn't left; she was waiting for her.

Even Shen Ruofu was in the ward.

Upon seeing Ji Ying, a defiant glint appeared in her eyes.

But as soon as she saw Liang Yizhi following behind her, she immediately concealed her triumphant expression.

"Restore her life support system!"

Ji Ying stared at Madam Shen, her eyes practically spitting fire.

Madam Shen slowly walked up to her and slapped her across the face.

"Who taught you this? You have no manners!"

Ji Ying was about to slap him back.

In mid-air, Liang Yizhi grasped her wrist and gently pulled her into his arms.

Ji Ying struggled a few times, but couldn't break free from his embrace.

“Madam Shen,” Liang Yizhi’s voice was cold, “using the life of an innocent patient to vent your anger is not the way of the Shen family.”

"Innocent?" Madam Shen gave a cold laugh. "Isn't my beloved pearl innocent? She didn't deserve to die, yet she was forced to give up her young life. Why?"

"Are you going to judge her based on just one letter?" Liang Yizhi retorted.

"I want her to kneel down and apologize before my daughter's body. I want the law to punish her. Otherwise, her friend must die!"

"Mom, please don't get agitated, take care of yourself." Shen Ruofu quickly stepped forward to comfort her, then turned to Ji Ying, feigning concern, "Miss Ji, if you've done something wrong, you have to admit it. Are you going to just watch your best friend..."

Before Shen Ruofu could finish speaking, Ji Ying, who was being held tightly in Liang Yizhi's arms, suddenly kicked her in the lower abdomen.

"ah!"

Caught off guard, Shen Ruofu fell backward to the ground, her face contorted in pain.

"You're bullying my daughter again! How dare you!"

Madam Shen's anger was instantly ignited, and she stepped forward, raising her hand to strike Ji Ying again.

"Try touching her again!"

Liang Yizhi raised his arm to protect Ji Ying's face.

He was as imposing as a mountain, with a cold and sharp gaze.

Because he had never used such an aura to deal with the Shen family before, Madam Shen was immediately stunned, and the raised hand froze in mid-air.

"Yizhi, you..."

"The prison will investigate Shen Aizhu's death and give the family an explanation. But before the truth of the matter is found out, what you are doing will cause an irreparable mistake."

At this moment, Yue Zheng arrived in a hurry, leading Xiao Xia's attending physician and several nurses.

"Immediately begin resuscitation! I will propose accountability measures to your superiors regarding this incident. If anything happens to the patient, your entire hospital will be held responsible!" Yue Zheng shouted sternly.

The attending physician first looked at Madam Shen, and then looked at Liang Yizhi.

Seeing the boss's gloomy expression, he was so frightened that he dared not hesitate any longer and immediately ran to the instrument to operate it.

Meanwhile, the nurses were busy re-establishing intravenous access for Xiao Xia.

“Liang Yizhi, I watched you grow up. You know how the Shen family has treated you! Are you going to be an ungrateful person for her sake?”

Liang Yizhi's gaze was terrifyingly cold. "If she truly drove Shen Aizhu to her death, I will show no mercy. But if someone framed her, I will make them suffer the same fate as Shen Aizhu!"

Shen Ruofu's breath hitched, and she got up on her own.

Madam Shen closed her eyes briefly after hearing Liang Yizhi's words.

"Fine, very well. If you're going to protect her, then you'll have to bear the consequences for her. Liang Yizhi, your life was ruined by my father, and you grew up under the watchful eyes of my husband and me. This immense debt of gratitude cannot be erased by some insignificant act."

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to refuse any matter concerning the Shen family that requires your intervention or the use of your resources. Especially regarding Ruofu's matter, if she comes to you, you must agree. This is the price you must pay for playing the hero for her today!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ying pushed Liang Yizhi away and stepped out of his embrace.

"Madam Shen, are you in such a hurry to put your adopted daughter into someone else's husband's arms? Is it because Shen Ruofu is about to become a discarded wife of the Xu family, and you're anxious to find her a new husband? Or is it that the daughter you raised is only fit to be 'sold off' in this way?"

Ji Ying's vicious words pierced through Madam Shen's dignity.

Madam Shen's face drained of color instantly. She stared at Ji Ying in disbelief, her lips trembling violently as she tried to say something, but then everything went black, and her body fell straight backward.

Shen Ruofu hugged her.

"Mom, what's wrong? Mom..."

Liang Yizhi immediately shouted at the stunned doctor, "What are you all standing there for? Get Madam Shen to the emergency room right now!"

The doctors and nurses then seemed to snap out of their daze. Having just finished with Xiao Xia, they hurriedly took Madam Shen from Shen Ruofu's arms and pushed her to the emergency room.

Fearing she would suffer if she stayed behind alone, Shen Ruofu quickly followed him out.

“Yingying, you shouldn’t say such things to Madam Shen.”

Although Liang Yizhi spoke to Ji Ying in a much gentler tone, Ji Ying did not appreciate his kindness.

She gave a cold laugh and met his anxious gaze.

"So you want her to put women in your arms?"

Liang Yizhi frowned. "You're being unreasonable again."

“Liang Yizhi, listen to me.” Ji Ying’s eyes were icy cold. “Today, as your wife, if I don’t even have the ability to keep such a scheming person out of my best friend’s hospital room, then I will only think that I married the wrong person.”

After saying that, she turned and walked away without looking at his darkening face.

Yue Zheng cautiously stepped forward. "Sir, you cannot resolve the conflict between Madam Shen and Madam Shen. The situation is pressing, and you may have to make a choice."

Liang Yizhi's face betrayed no emotion, only a turbulent undercurrent swirled deep within his eyes...

Ji Ying helped Jiang Ran into the car, but did not leave immediately.

She was tired of all this scheming and backstabbing. Since the world wouldn't let her go, then let's all perish together!

“Jiang Ran,” her voice was eerily calm, “go and bring Shen Ruofu here to me.”
