"He never intended to live in the first place," Li Chu said with a sigh.

"Uncle Liu, then tell me, why did he include arsenic in the letter he sent to Qiu Nan?"

Director Liu shook his head: "I don't know about that. Judging from the dates, the two letters you received were the last ones sent. It's also possible that the person who sold him potassium cyanide ran out of things and just used arsenic to make up the difference. Anyway, most people can't tell the difference."

With Jiang Cheng's suicide, this matter will certainly never be answered again.

Whether Jiang Cheng knew what he had sent or not, no one could say for sure.

However, when Li Chu recalled meeting Jiang Cheng that day, his surprised expression when he learned that what was sent was arsenic didn't seem to be feigned.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much.

"Uncle Liu, what are your plans for the future?"

Director Liu thought for a moment and said, "We plan to leave Jiang Cheng's matter here and not pursue it any further, nor will we make any public announcements, after all..."

Li Chu understood that not announcing it to the public was actually better for everyone.

"However, regarding their embezzlement and misappropriation of subsidies for the families of martyrs, Director Chen has instructed the relevant departments in the bureau to set up a special task force to investigate. Director Chen has also reported this to his superiors, whose instructions are that no matter who is involved, the matter must be thoroughly investigated and cannot be dismissed after the person dies."

This is a fundamental matter, and as a leader at the top, I certainly have to pay close attention to it.

"Uncle Liu, what are your plans regarding Jiang Li?"

"Nothing can be done, let's just leave it at that, we'll pretend we don't know anything."

Hearing Director Liu say this, Li Chu secretly felt relieved. This was for the best; otherwise, Jiang Li would have no way to survive with her child.

"Alright, Xiao Chu, I came here today to talk to you about this. I still need to go and report to Minister Wang."

"Uncle Liu, how are those two spies doing?" Seeing that Director Liu was about to leave, Li Chu hurriedly stood up and asked.

Director Liu waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about those two people. I can't tell you about their affairs, but don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again."

Okay, the confidentiality rules still need to be followed. It's already good enough that they told me about Jiang Cheng.

After saying this, Director Liu opened the door of the consultation room, walked out, got into the car, waved to Li Chu, and drove away.

After watching the jeep drive out of the hospital, Li Chu returned to the consultation room.

He felt very heavy-hearted. He was a perfectly normal person, once a hero. What had led him to this point?

Li Chu had no mood to do anything all morning, so he just sat behind his desk with his mind completely blank.

His mood only began to improve when he saw his wife at lunchtime.

Ding Qiunan noticed this too. She didn't ask anything, but after finishing her meal, she pulled Li Chu to lie down on the bed with her and hugged him tightly in her arms.

Li Chu buried his head in his wife's chest, greedily inhaling the milky scent emanating from her. He had always been puzzled as to why his wife still smelled so milky even though she had been weaned for so long.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Ding Qiunan stroked her husband's head and asked softly.

Li Chu then told her about Jiang Cheng's death.

Actually, Li Chu had some doubts after hearing Director Liu say that Jiang Cheng had committed suicide this morning. Was it suicide or forced suicide? But no matter what, at this point, only his death could solve all the problems.

Even if he doesn't die this time, the case in the south alone, which resulted in six deaths and one injury, is enough to warrant his execution several times over.

Ding Qiunan sighed softly, didn't ask any more questions, and closed her eyes to go to sleep. She had absolutely no good feelings towards Jiang Cheng.

Hearing his wife's breathing gradually stabilize, Li Chu carefully got off the bed, walked out of the clinic, and took a stroll around the yard.

As I wandered around, I pondered how to write the suggestion regarding standardized disinfection procedures.

As I wandered around, I saw several surgeons. They looked exhausted, probably having just finished surgery, and were discussing some problems that had occurred during the operation.

I wonder how the kidney transplant project, which is being jointly undertaken by the surgery and medical schools, is progressing, and how much progress it has made.

If the medical school closes down in two years, their project will probably be shelved.

After get off work in the afternoon, Ding Qiunan took Li Chu to her sister's house, saying that they needed to discuss whether they could lend the house to Jiang Li.

Why are you so concerned about this?

"Sigh," Ding Qiunan sighed, "I'm a woman too, and seeing Jiang Li like that is so heartbreaking."

She's just started working at the factory, earning only a little over ten yuan a month. She has to pay rent, take her own medication, and take care of her child. It's so hard for her. If my sister agrees to let her move in, at least we won't have to ask her for rent. Wouldn't that make things easier for her?

Li Chu shrugged. He wasn't going to comment on the matter; he'd let his wife decide. She could do whatever she wanted.

She only started cooking when we arrived at her sister's house.

"Why did you two come here without telling me beforehand? I didn't even have enough food."

"It's okay, sis, a bowl of noodles will do."

Upon entering the house, her brother-in-law had not yet returned, and Wang Jiayuan was in the living room, seemingly playing something.

"Jiayuan, have you finished your homework yet? All you do is play." As soon as Li Chu spoke, he was met with a glare from his niece.

"Uncle, why do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?"

"Hehe," Li Chu reached out and ruffled Jia Yuan's hair, making it messy, and then pinched her chubby cheeks.

Wang Jiayuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. How old was she? How could she still act like those little boys at school?

Ding Qiunan followed Li Qin into the kitchen as soon as she entered the room.

Li Qin glanced at her sister-in-law and said with a smile, "Go ahead, what is it?"

"Sis, you can tell I'm upset."

"It's written all over their faces, how could I not see it?"

Ding Qiunan chuckled sheepishly and said, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you."

"Tell me, what is it that made you come all the way over to me after get off work?"

"Sister, I'd like to lend that house to Jiang Li."

"Who?" Li Qin stopped washing the vegetables.

Jiang Li

Li Qin shook the water off her hands, wiped them on her apron, and turned to look at Ding Qiunan.

"Is it something Xiao Chu wanted to lend to her?"

Ding Qiunan smiled and took off Li Qin's apron, put it on herself, pushed Li Qin aside, and began washing vegetables.

"Sis, this time it really wasn't me; I was the one who suggested it."

"You, don't cover for him. It must be Xiao Chu who wanted to borrow it. He didn't dare to tell me, so he asked you to do it." As she spoke, Li Qin reached out and poked Ding Qiunan's forehead.
