Chapter 98 Your dad has his eye on this matter.

Shen Li was still a little confused when she heard this.

Because she suffered a mild concussion in the car accident, all her reactions are now a beat slower.

Even when they saw the person standing at the door, they seemed to be a beat late in realizing it.

She is Lu Yanchuan's mother, Zhu Qinghui.

“…What?” Shen Li asked hesitantly.

Zhu Qinghui had already entered. This noblewoman always maintained a noble and elegant demeanor.

It seems that... this is no exception at this moment.

Just like her son's car accident, it didn't make her feel flustered or overwhelmed.

"Stop playing dumb!" Zhu Qinghui glared fiercely at Shen Li. "The police are already guarding the door! You still want to argue?!"

Shen Li blinked, her gaze still blank. "...What?"

Qu Xiang frowned and said, "Madam Lu, please calm down. The matter is not yet settled, so please do not make false accusations."

“Shen Li is also a victim; she was also injured,” Qu Xiang said.

"Calm down?!" Zhu Qinghui glanced coldly at Qu Xiang. "She's a victim? She's an accomplice! Doesn't she deserve to be injured?!"

Shen Li was a little confused; Zhu Qinghui's words had left her mind in a state of chaos.

But Zhu Qinghui's next words were like a sharp knife, piercing Shen Li's heart.

"Where is my son! My son's fate is unknown!" Zhu Qinghui glared at Chen Li. "You don't need to pretend to be ignorant here. If anything happens to Yanchuan, I will never let you off the hook!"

Shen Li frowned deeply. "What do you mean?"

She turned to look at Qu Xiang, "What happened?"

what is going on?

I just fainted and then woke up. What exactly happened?

Zhu Qinghui looked at her ignorant expression and sneered, "I don't believe you really know nothing!"

"Your father's gambling and greed have been going on for a long time. Are you just finding out today? Don't play dumb."

“It was previously revealed that Yanchuan did not leave a will, and as his spouse, you have the greatest right of inheritance. Your father has his eye on this matter, and I don’t believe you didn’t know!”

"It's that simple. Just kill Lu Yanchuan and you'll be set for life! Your dad may not be good at other things, but he's quick-witted when it comes to crooked ways."

When Zhu Qinghui said this, Shen Li's face turned even paler.

Even if he was a beat slow to react, upon hearing Zhu Qinghui's words, Shen Li already understood what she meant.

Her lips trembled slightly as she uttered those two syllables again, but her voice was trembling and choked with emotion, "...What?"

Qu Xiang couldn't bear to see her like this, so she went up to Zhu Qinghui, grabbed her arm, and asked her to leave.

"Madam Lu, the matter has not been fully investigated yet, so please do not hastily convict Shen Li. She is also a victim, an injured person, and needs to rest. Please leave first."

Qu Xiang half-persuaded and half-chased them out.

In the gap between the opening and closing of the door.

Shen Li saw the two policemen guarding the door.

As Qu Xiang walked back to the bedside, Shen Li suddenly grabbed her hand.

Qu Xiang knew that Zhu Qinghui's words must have affected Shen Li's emotions, so she comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the matter hasn't been investigated yet."

Qu Xiang was worried that she would be afraid because of those fabricated charges.

But Shen Li held her hand tightly and did not ask about those fabricated charges.

The only question she asked was, "How is Lu Yanchuan? Take me to see him."

Qu Xiang sighed softly, "The injuries are quite serious, and he's still not out of danger."

Shen Li's fingers trembled slightly as she tried to calm herself.

But her voice still betrayed her turbulent emotions; it trembled as she asked, "Where...is he hurt?"

Perhaps Shen Li herself suffered a concussion at the time, because her memories of the period after the accident are hazy and incoherent.

Rather than remembering specific scenes, I would say I remember the concept of the event.

She remembered that Lu Yanchuan saved her, and that she escaped from the car and dragged him out.

I vaguely remember that he was seriously injured, although I don’t remember the specific details.

But I still have some recollection of the sticky feeling on my eyelids and the sweet, metallic smell of blood…

Although she doesn't remember the specific details, she does remember subduing the driver who caused the accident.

He can also vaguely remember what the driver said on the phone at the time of the accident.

"He had intracranial hemorrhage, three broken ribs, and the broken bones damaged his lungs. The other injuries on his body were not fatal."

Shen Li heard things like "intracranial hemorrhage", "three broken ribs", and "broken bone pierced the lung".

His eyes were wide open, and even his eyeballs seemed to be trembling.

Shen Li took a deep breath and bit her lip tightly, but she still couldn't hold back and a sob escaped her throat.

Qu Xiang wanted to comfort Shen Li, but given the severity of Lu Yanchuan's injuries, Qu Xiang didn't know how to comfort him.

“He underwent surgery for intracranial hemorrhage. I heard from Assistant Zhou that the doctor said the bleeding was not serious and the surgery should be able to control it. Moreover, the location of the bleeding was not too dangerous and should not affect his subsequent daily life and various functions.”

Qu Xiang's words did not reassure Shen Li.

Because if that were the case, the person should already be out of danger.

But he is still not out of danger, which means that there may be an even more serious situation ahead.

Shen Li asked in a hoarse voice, "Anything else?"

A face stained red with blood flashed before her eyes.

My heart skipped a beat again.

Qu Xiang sighed softly.

"Another reason is his lung injury, which is why he is still in critical condition. His lung is ruptured and he still has a drainage tube inserted. The doctor said that the lung is most prone to infection, and his condition needs to be closely monitored, so he cannot be transferred out of the ICU yet."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li tasted the sweet, metallic flavor of blood, and felt a stinging pain on her lips.

Only then did I realize that I had bitten my lip until it bled.

"Is he awake? Now?" Shen Li asked.

She remembers what the ICU is like; she had been there once, though not for very long.

It wasn't because of the time she was beaten so badly she was almost paralyzed, but because after marrying Lu Yanchuan, she went to Haicheng for a 'solo honeymoon'.

Giving up on oneself and binge eating.

Then, when I developed acute pancreatitis, my blood tests and various indicators were all very bad.

Although she felt she was still relatively conscious at the time, just to be on the safe side, the doctors still admitted her to the ICU.

Perhaps because that memory was so vivid, Shen Li still remembers it to this day.

What kind of torture is it to be locked up in the ICU while fully conscious?

Surrounded by people who were just one step away from death, it felt as if there was no trace of life.

Even he himself seemed to lack the vitality of a living person.

The only sounds were the beeping of various machines.

It's so noisy that I can't even sleep when I want to.

All I can do is stay awake and live in fear.
