Chapter 14 Chapter 14 You won’t always be thinking about that…

Ning Shaoming was actually very nervous when he saw the police, but he was born with a serious face and was quite intimidating when he wasn't smiling, and he didn't look nervous at all.

Ning Shaoming first talked about things related to the case, that is, Gao's mother planned to hire someone to deal with himself and Zhao Ruyue. He felt that Gao's mother might be involved in organized crime, and Zhao Ruyue's speculation that Gao's father might have also been involved in the Gao Guangqiang DVD case.

The police have confirmed that the incident involving Gao's father was true. He was indeed involved in Gao Guangqiang's case.

It was just that Lu Fagang had only told Ning Shaoming about the arrest of Gao's father not long ago. Ning Shaoming thought the police would not know that he knew about the arrest of Gao's father, so he brought it up.

Otherwise, there was only the case of Gao's mother, which he had guessed was suspected of being involved in organized crime, and he felt a little guilty when he thought about the excuse he had given to go to the police.

The police calmly stated that they would send people to investigate both cases, but in the case of Gao's mother, the other party had not actually harmed them, so the police could not take any measures against her.

He also analyzed to Ning Shaoming: Since Gao's mother's purpose has been to obtain the letter of forgiveness, she probably won't want to create any more trouble now that she has obtained the letter of forgiveness, so they don't need to worry too much.

As for the matter of Gao's father, the police officer did not tell Ning Shaoming much.

The clues and evidence for arresting Gao's father were found when confiscating the discs that Gao Guangqiang had stored in other places.

When these investigators reviewed the discs, they were disgusted by the bizarre images inside, but fortunately they gained a lot.

However, there is no need to tell the victim's family the details of the investigation.

The police officer originally thought that Ning Shaoming's speculations about Gao's mother were exaggerated just to increase their attention to the matter.

Who would have thought that when they checked the remaining members of the Gao family later, they actually found out that one of Gao's mother's relatives was a member of the □□ and had committed several murders. Ning Shaoming and his wife were lucky enough to escape the disaster.

After saying that, Ning Shaoming had a look of shame on his face. He took out the passbook he brought with him and put it on the table: "This is the money given by the Gao family."

Then he asked about the letter of understanding and compensation.

He really didn't know whether it was illegal for the two of them to take the money from the Gao family, and whether signing the letter of apology would affect the police's handling of the case.

Ning Shaoming was not one to beat around the bush, so he directly expressed his doubts and concerns: "If we can't accept the money, we can just return it. We shouldn't be arrested and sent to jail, right?"

After hearing Ning Shaoming's troubles, the police smiled and told him: In order to reduce the sentence of their family members, many families of criminals would privately find the victims or the victims' families, spend money to obtain a letter of forgiveness, and then strive for an out-of-court settlement.

The families of the perpetrators did not use any illegal means, so they have no right to interfere. As long as both parties reach an agreement, it is a matter of mutual consent.

As for the impact on other cases, there is actually almost no impact. The letter of apology signed by Zhao Ruyue only involves the sentencing discretion in her own case.

Although if Zhao Ruyue had not signed, Gao Guangqiang would have been more guilty of the three cases combined, but the other two cases Gao Guangqiang was responsible for involved more people and more serious crimes.

This is already destined. Whether there is Zhao Ruyue's case or not, he has to eat a peanut.

Before this, Gao’s family was unaware of the existence of the latter two cases, and they may have still held out hope of using the letter of apology to get Gao Guangqiang out.

I believe that after Gao Guangqiang's father was arrested, it won't be long before the remaining members of the Gao family will realize that finding someone to sign a letter of apology is a waste of time and money.

By then, the Gao family probably won’t have the mood, time, or need to cause trouble for Zhao Ruyue, the victim of this minor case.

Only after getting the answer he wanted did Ning Shaoming finally put his mind at ease.

Before leaving, he couldn't stop bowing and thanking the police.

Back in the hospital ward, Ning Shaoming opened the door and walked in, immediately meeting Zhao Ruyue's expectant gaze.

He smiled helplessly and took out the passbook from his pocket and handed it to her:

"You little money-grubber, I've asked before, it's okay to take this money, the Gao family's affairs will have little to do with us in the future, there will be bigger troubles waiting for them in the future!

By the way, I just passed by the nurses’ station and happened to meet the nurse in charge of the ward. She told me that a patient would be admitted soon and asked me to put away my personal belongings from the other bed.

Don't stare at the passbook. You won't be able to see any flowers even if you look at it. Put it away quickly and don't let any new patients see it. ”

There had been no other patients in the double room where Zhao Ruyue was staying, so she was the only one living there.

The hospital beds are single beds. Two people can barely sleep on them, but it is definitely not comfortable.

When Ning Shaoming was staying overnight with the patient, he would rest on another bed. Many patients' families did the same for convenience, but when a new patient was admitted, the bed had to be vacated in time.

Ning Shaoming didn't have much stuff, just a pillow and a quilt to cover himself at night, and he packed it quickly.

A few minutes after he packed his things, the nurse came and put a new sheet on the bed.

The patients in the same ward were admitted soon. They were also a couple and looked about the same age as them.

Neither party was the type to be nosy, and after greeting each other politely, they went about their own business without interfering with each other.

It's not so convenient to talk because there are other people in the ward.

Zhao Ruyue discussed with Ning Shaoming in a low voice: "You have asked for leave from the hotel for several days. Since you don't plan to quit, you must go back to work as soon as possible, otherwise the boss will definitely have opinions. I have almost recovered. How about I be discharged from the hospital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"Stay a few more days. Don't worry about the hotel's complaints. I've covered for other people on most of my days off since I started working here, so I've saved up a lot of time off, which I haven't used up yet," Ning Shaoming still disagreed and changed the subject. "When I came back, I saw someone selling roasted sweet potatoes at the entrance of the hospital. Do you want to eat some? I'll go buy you one?"

As soon as Zhao Ruyue saw his expression, she knew that there was no room for negotiation. She hadn't eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time, and after hearing what he said, she really wanted to eat them: "Okay, I kind of want to eat them."

She glanced at the patient in the bed opposite her and felt uncomfortable being alone in the ward with a stranger. "I'll go with you and take a walk to get some fresh air. I've been lying in bed for too long and my bones are stiff."

It's not cold outside today, and there's no wind, so it's okay to walk around the hospital and take a stroll. Ning Shaoming didn't refuse this time. If he refused again, his wife would get angry.

The two of them walked around outside and bought a sweet potato when they were about to come back.

It was broken into two halves, and each person held one half and ate while walking towards the ward.

I walked to the door of the ward and was about to go in when the voices inside suddenly became louder.

The female voice was full of anger and accusation: "We did this together, why am I the only one who has to suffer again and again! Shi, I'm telling you, you must get sterilized this time, or we'll get divorced!"

Then a weak male voice said, "Keep your voice down. Don't shout so much that the whole hospital will know about it. Is this something glorious?"

"What's glorious or shameful? Why didn't you say it was shameful when I got sterilized? Anyway, I'm putting it here. If you don't get sterilized, we'll get divorced!"

Outside the door, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming looked at each other.

For some reason, Zhao Ruyue felt that Ning Shaoming's eyes were rarely wandering, and there seemed to be a hint of guilt in his eyes.

But that slight abnormality disappeared so quickly that she began to wonder if it was her own illusion.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ruyue, who had been thinking about Ning Shaoming's strange behavior and couldn't sleep at all, suddenly had an idea.

She woke Ning Shaoming up and whispered in his ear, "You have been disagreeing with my discharge. Are you considering doing what the couple in the bed opposite discussed today?"

Ning Shaoming, who was originally half asleep and half awake, was startled when he heard this, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
