Chapter 340 Deterrence

Nie Yao paused at this point and looked at her sharply, "My cousin told me that grandpa was bedridden and died of illness, but there was actually another hidden reason behind his death, right?"

Lu Chunxia was startled. She hadn't expected Nie Yao to ask such a question directly. She smiled awkwardly and replied, "I... I don't know either..."

"Lu Chunxia, ​​you were the caregiver at the nursing home where my grandfather was staying. You were also responsible for taking care of my grandfather. How could you not know?"

Nie Yao sneered, obviously not believing that she was lying with her eyes open!

"I..." Lu Chunxia was stunned. She didn't expect Nie Yao to have found out her occupation from twenty years ago. She answered hesitantly, "I did work as a caregiver, but your grandfather was such a powerful figure. How could I have always been by his side as his personal caregiver? I really don't know the secret you're talking about..."

Seeing that Lu Chunxia refused to admit it, Nie Yao was not annoyed. She held her chin with one hand and said with a half-smile, "Okay, since you said you don't know, then I want to ask you, was my grandfather's condition really that serious at the time?"

"This..." Lu Chunxia was still a little hesitant. Seeing this, Nie Yao said coldly, "Ms. Lu, I hope you can tell the truth, because there are some things I can find out. If you lie to me about this, then if I really find out something later, I won't chat with you so politely anymore!"

Perhaps frightened by Nie Yao's intimidation, Lu Chunxia slowly spoke, "I'm not a doctor, and I'm not familiar with the old man's condition. I only remember that Mr. Yu's condition worsened after he suffered a lot of trauma. Later, when he got better, he was transferred to the sanatorium where I work to continue recuperating. However, he had a stroke before and suffers from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and so on, so we caregivers dare not take him lightly..."

"What caused him to get better later? When he got better, did many people come to visit him?" Nie Yao continued to ask.

"I heard that my granddaughter who had been missing for a long time was found!"

As Lu Chunxia spoke of this, her voice lowered as she recalled the past: "At that time, there were indeed many people who visited him, including family, friends, and some outsiders. But later on, he got tired of it and only allowed a few of his closest relatives to come and see him!"

"This includes people from the Nie family, right?" Nie Yao asked thoughtfully.

"Well, the Nie family didn't come that often, but every time they did, Mr. Yu got very excited. Later, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep at night. Several nurses had to give him injections and persuade him to get a good rest..."

Lu Chunxia nodded and answered seriously.

Seeing her calm tone, which didn't sound like she was lying, Nie Yao also believed that she wasn't making these words up. She asked in a deep voice, "I heard that the little girl the Nie family found was taken to a nursing home by the Nie family. Has she met Grandpa?"

"Yes, she looks like a very cute little girl, but a little timid..." Lu Chunxia nodded, and suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Nie Yao with a bit more doubt in her expression.

"Miss Nie, you ask me this, don't you remember what happened back then?"

Nie Yao smiled slightly and replied slowly, "Take a closer look. Does that little girl from back then look like me?"

"It seems a bit similar..." Lu Chunxia looked at Nie Yao seriously for several times, then shook her head and replied hesitantly: "Now I see, I don't think they look that similar anymore!"
