Chapter 163 Driving

When they came to work in the afternoon, the woman had already been taken away by the police, and the specifics of the situation were still unknown.

Li Chu didn't pay much attention to this matter.

A week later, Officer Liu from the security department came over and told him about the follow-up to the case.

At first, the woman denied it, insisting that the recipe she was told about was exactly like that.

When the police asked her why she ran away, she remained silent.

It was only after the police investigation that they learned that the prescription was not given to her by someone else. Her deceased father used to be an itinerant doctor. Although she did not learn traditional Chinese medicine from her father, she still knew a little about it from a young age.

She bought these medicines with the intention of harming her mother-in-law, and also her husband.

Her mother-in-law has been bedridden for many years and cannot take care of herself. She has an extremely strange temper and personality. She scolds her at the drop of a hat if she is not taken care of properly. When her son comes back, he complains that his wife is abusing him.

This woman's husband also doesn't distinguish right from wrong, only listens to one side and believes it, never giving her a chance to explain, and often beats and scolds her.

She couldn't stand this kind of life anymore, so she came up with this idea.

After searching their home, the police found several more packets of the same medicine.

She didn't dare buy the medicine from just one pharmacy, afraid that others would find out. Unexpectedly, she was able to buy it smoothly from the previous pharmacies, but she was discovered when she got to Li Chu's.

If her mother-in-law and husband were to ingest all the calomel from these medicines, they would surely die.

It is currently unknown how many years this woman will ultimately be sentenced to.

After hearing this, Li Chu sighed. Being beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law and husband, she was a weaker party and could have sought help from the Women's Federation or even filed for divorce from the neighborhood committee. But instead, she chose this path of no return.

Even after the security guards left, he was still thinking that this woman just had a weak mentality. If her reaction hadn't been so strange, he would never have thought of her as someone who could harm others.

Maybe if I just changed the dosage of the calomel, I could sell it to her, and she would probably succeed.

However, this woman has finally escaped her misery and will definitely be able to get a divorce now.

And who knows how long her wicked mother-in-law will live without her care.

Noticing Nurse Wang glancing over from time to time, Li Chu asked, "Sister Wang, is something the matter?"

"Uh, it's nothing. It's just that after listening to what Xiao Liu said, I suddenly felt that even though you sent that woman to prison, Dr. Li, you actually saved her."

"Alas, who can truly say whether it's saving or harming someone?"

Lying in bed that night, Li Chu told his wife about it.

After hearing this, Ding Qiunan sat up from his arms, her face tense and serious, and said, "If you dare to treat me like that, I'll bite you to death." She even bared her teeth as she finished speaking.

Li Chu, both amused and exasperated, pulled his wife close and made her lean against his chest: "How come you always connect everything to us? In all these years of our marriage, have I ever laid a finger on you?"

"Hmph, of course I did! You just beat me up a few times." Ding Qiunan raised her head and wrinkled her nose at him.

"I……"

I was just about to say when I hit you when I suddenly realized what my wife meant.

Li Chu stared at her in astonishment. "Holy crap, where's my innocent wife? How come she's already driving off in less than two sentences?"

Ding Qiunan stuck her tongue out at him triumphantly, then rested her head on his chest again.

He sighed inwardly. These aunties and grandmas were incredibly powerful; they had managed to win his wife over in such a short time.

The next day, Li Chu didn't go to work with his wife. He had to go to work on duty that day, so he rode his bicycle away early.

Ever since he secretly left those documents there, the atmosphere in this huge courtyard has become noticeably more tense.

Every now and then you can see soldiers from the guard regiment walking in a line along the road.

He has no idea what happened to those materials afterward.

No word ever came out about what was in that box, as if it had never happened, and no one ever mentioned it again.

That's good, at least no one will suspect him, otherwise his good days would be over.

During this period, he checked in every day, afraid that the system would send him some shocking gift again.

Previously, signing in felt more like a game, but now he feels a bit nervous when he does it.

It's not that he didn't want those materials; he knew perfectly well that they were all valuable resources that could make the motherland stronger, which was exactly what he hoped to see.

But the way they sent it out was really a bit scary.

He was the only one on duty today; Deputy Team Leader Yang had just come over to give him some instructions.

I was sitting idly in the duty room, flipping through the newspaper, when someone walked in through the door.

Li Chu looked up and stood up: "Director Chen, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

The person who came in was Chen Fangguo, deputy director of the General Office of the State Council.

Chen Fangguo didn't sit down, but stood there and said, "I just happened to have nothing to do right now, so I came out for a walk to see if you were on duty. I didn't expect it to be you."

"Director Chen, you must have something to tell me. Please let me know."

"It's nothing, I just thought I should tell you that my mother passed away two days ago."

"Director Chen, please accept my condolences. I really didn't know about this, otherwise I would definitely have gone over to see the old man off."

Chen Fangguo waved his hand: "You know the current situation. We haven't notified anyone. We're keeping everything simple."

"As my mother's son, I've come here today to say thank you for allowing my mother to live for three more years."

"Director Chen, you're too kind. As a doctor, those are things I should do, but I was simply unable to completely cure the old lady's illness."

“As her children, we are already very grateful. My mother was in such a condition that every extra day she lived would have been a bonus. The fact that you were able to extend her life by three years speaks volumes about your medical skills.”

After a pause, Chen Fangguo continued, "Also, on behalf of my sister, I would like to thank you. She got married through an introduction and is now pregnant."

Li Chu nodded knowingly: "No need to be so polite. Your sister used to register for medical treatment with me. We had a normal doctor-patient relationship. I would do my best for anyone."

"Alright, that's all I came to see you for today. You can bring your wife over for a visit sometime in the future. I heard you already have a child."

"Thank you for the invitation, Director Chen. I will definitely go when I have time."

After seeing Chen Fangguo off, Li Chu felt somewhat puzzled and couldn't understand why he had made a special trip to say something.

After thinking for a while but still not getting any clues, I stopped paying attention to it. Anyway, if he really had something to do, he would definitely come back again.
