Chapter 239 The Victim is Innocent

Chapter 239 The Victim is Innocent

Perhaps because she had been crying for too long, Lin Shutang's head became dizzy. Gradually, her voice became quieter and quieter, and then she fell asleep.

Seeing that the person in his arms was silent, Li Yansheng picked her up and put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then went out with the USB drive.

In the study, Li Yansheng read through the contents of the USB drive.

It can be inferred that these things were done by the Feng family. However, without evidence, everything is just speculation, and there is no solid evidence.

Li Yansheng packed up everything and sent it to Fan Sizhuo: [Check it out.]

Workers dare not turn off the message notifications at night.

Almost within a minute after Li Yansheng sent the information, Fan Sizhu called.

He had already turned on his computer and was looking through the contents.

"Boss, I took a preliminary look and it seems like this happened many years ago. It's very likely that the statute of limitations has already expired."

Li Yansheng stood on the balcony, smoking a cigarette, his dark eyes gazing at the endless darkness of the night. Upon hearing this, he reached out to the marble railing and tapped it lightly: "Don't worry about it, let's check first."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Sizhuo carefully read through all the information. After reading it, he felt that Miss Lin was truly the most pitiful person he had ever seen, no doubt about it.

He had a vague guess in his mind. If this guess was true, he really didn't know how Miss Lin would deal with this matter.

After all, if this speculation is true, then it was her existence that indirectly led to the death of her parents.

The victim is not guilty, but many times, the victim needs an outlet to vent his emotions. Before the perpetrator is punished, the victim is likely to fall into self-blame and use himself as the object of venting.

At around two o'clock in the morning, Lin Shutang developed a fever and became confused.

When Li Yansheng turned on the light, he saw the person next to him with a frown on his face, pale, and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but he didn't make a sound.

In the past, when she was sick, she would groan in pain, but this time, not a single sound was uttered.

If she hadn't resisted his touch because of the heat after being held in his arms, Li Yansheng might not have noticed it at all.

The family doctor appeared in the master bedroom in a hurry, holding a box without even putting on his clothes.

After the examination, he gave Lin Shutang an injection of fever-reducing medicine, and then said, "Mr. Li, I have already given my wife a fever-reducing injection, but there may be other problems tonight. I suggest that my wife be sent to the hospital!"

"Okay, you go out first!"

Li Yansheng put a thicker layer on Lin Shutang. She was very uneasy the whole time. She didn't open her eyes, but she kept mumbling something.

Li Yansheng leaned in to listen and could vaguely make out words like "Mom and Dad" and "I'm sorry."

It was already past three o'clock when they arrived at the hospital. The doctor examined Lin Shutang and then gave her an IV drip.

Afterwards, Li Yansheng briefly told the doctor about Lin Shutang's condition.

The doctor said, "Mr. Li, from what you've described, your wife's fever likely came from a sudden surge of emotional stress. This situation is quite rare, but it's not uncommon in the cases we've seen."

After that, the doctor continued, "Excuse me, does your wife have a history of depression? Because people with such depression are often more prone to emotional breakdowns."

Li Yansheng thought of the scene when he first met Lin Shutang.

Back then, she seemed no different from everyone else when she spoke, but her face was pale and her eyes held a lifeless look. It wasn't just a physical feeling, but more like a deep-seated indifference born from long-term disappointment in life. When she was alone and quiet, it was clear she had little interest in anything around her, appearing indifferent to most things.

Li Yansheng's thoughts stopped here. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure."

Because since they met, Li Yansheng had never seen Lin Shutang take this kind of medicine.

Doctor: "Mr. Li, I suggest you take your wife for a psychological examination later."

"Okay, thank you."
