Chapter 148 has already ordered the arrest of Xia Jianyong.
Xia Yuhuan carried the porridge upstairs, only to find that Chi Yanzhou was already asleep.
She thought for a moment, then decided not to wake Chi Yanzhou, and turned to take the porridge downstairs again.
"He's asleep, so I'm keeping it warm in the pot for him. He can drink it when he wakes up," Xia Yuhuan explained after going downstairs.
"Okay, Xiao Huan, give me the bowl, I'll get it. You sit down and eat quickly." Zhang Xianya said, stepping forward to help her with the bowl.
Xia Yuhuan quickly refused, saying, "No need, Mom. I can do it myself. It's just putting it back in the pot. It's no trouble and will be quick."
When Xia Yuhuan poured the porridge back into the pot and sat down in the dining room again, she found two bowls in front of her.
One bowl contained rice, and the other contained soup. On top of the rice were many of her favorite dishes.
Xia Yuhuan looked up at Zhang Xianya.
Zhang Xianya urged her hurriedly, "Xiao Huan, what are you standing there for? Eat up, I remember you really like these dishes."
"Thank you, Mom. I'll eat right away," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile that curved her eyes.
What she actually cared about more was Zhang Xianya's attitude towards her.
She had been wondering if Zhang Xianya and the others would change their attitude towards her after she cured Chi Yanzhou, and if they would treat her as well as before.
But as it turned out, her idea was wrong.
Although Chi Yanzhou has woken up, her parents still treat her very well, just like before, and love her as their own daughter.
Xia Yuhuan buried herself in her food, but she couldn't suppress her joy; her eyes were filled with laughter.
The others ate and chatted, paying little attention to her.
Until they started talking about Li Rouyue.
"What do you mean Li Rouyue wants to see Xia Jianyong? Aren't they always together?" Xia Yuhuan asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang looked at Xia Yuhuan.
"I forgot to tell you, in order to avoid his past with Li Rouyue being exposed, Xia Jianyong had the idea of killing her to silence her, and had someone take Li Rouyue to the wilderness to kill her."
"However, she was still alert. When the car was halfway there, she grabbed the steering wheel in an attempt to save herself. During the struggle, the car overturned, and both she and the driver were unconscious. Your Uncle Yan happened to be passing by and rescued them."
“Li Rouyue is now under our control, and she is demanding to see Xia Jianyong.”
Xia Yuhuan was stunned when she heard this.
"My God, is Xia Jianyong really that ruthless? He even dared to lay a hand on Li Rouyue, who had been with him for so many years?"
It's no wonder she was surprised.
Xia Jianyong attacked her mother because he had never loved her and had no feelings for her whatsoever.
In addition, he was after the Xia family's wealth and was capable of ruthless acts. She despised him, but could also understand.
But Xia Jianyong and Li Rouyue were truly in love, how could he be so cruel?
The key is that she had been pursuing Xia Jianyong's matter the whole time, and only stopped pursuing it yesterday and today because she was busy detoxifying Chi Yanzhou. How did things change so drastically?
Even with time accelerated, it's not going to fly like this!
"Yes, Li Rouyue is still at the military hospital. Our people are guarding her; she can't escape," Chi Shaokang added.
After her initial shock, Xia Yuhuan felt it was perfectly natural.
After all, Xia Jianyong wasn't a good person to begin with. He could be ruthless towards the Xia family for money, so he could naturally be ruthless towards Li Rouyue for his future.
There is no essential difference between the two.
The only difference is that one is devoid of emotion and full of calculation, while the other has feelings but abandons them for personal gain.
I wonder if Xia Jianyong felt any reluctance when he took his own life against Li Rouyue.
She felt that, given his personality, he would probably shed a couple of crocodile tears.
"So Dad, did you manage to use him as bait? Xia Jianyong is in such a state, can't we close the net yet?" Xia Yuhuan asked seriously.
Xia Yuhuan was determined to bring Xia Jianyong to justice.
After all, she had promised the original owner that she would give her an explanation and avenge her.
She has no intention of letting go of any of the people who caused the original owner's tragedy: Li Rouyue, Xia Zhuyu, and Xia Jianyong!
Xia Zhuyu has now been sent to the countryside in Northwest China, and her fate is completely different from the thriving life depicted in the book; she is now considered ruined.
Moreover, when Xia Jianyong targeted the original owner's grandfather and mother, Xia Zhuyu was still young and did not participate in the matter, so she could not be implicated.
Although she bullied the original owner, her crime did not warrant death, and this score can be settled later.
But Xia Jianyong is the culprit, and his crimes are already clear. The reason he's been kept alive until now is to fish for him, to catch the real murderer behind the scenes who killed my grandfather.
If the fishing trip ends now, they can arrest him directly and give Xia Jianyong the punishment he deserves, sentencing him to death.
Li Rouyue had been involved in the Xia family's affairs with Xia Jianyong, and she couldn't escape legal punishment either.
So none of the three members of that family will have an easy time!
Once all three of them have received their due punishment, she will have done right by the original owner of this body.
As for the man surnamed Chi whom the original owner had mentioned and warned her to be careful of, she guessed that he was most likely a high-ranking official that Xia Jianyong had found.
The book describes how the original owner of the body was sent to the bed of a high-ranking official by Xia Jianyong, and unable to bear the humiliation, she jumped to her death.
Although Xia Yuhuan is a doctor but not a forensic doctor, she still has connections with forensic doctors.
She had seen the bodies of people who had jumped to their deaths, and they were completely different from the original owner's body that she had seen in her mind last time.
The original owner's body was covered in cracks, like a tattered rag doll that had been pieced together, full of a sense of fragmentation.
Her death didn't seem like a gruesome suicide by jumping from a building; rather, it looked like her body had been cut into pieces.
Only a cobbled-together soul can resemble a tattered rag doll and be truly terrifying.
Xia Yuhuan suspected that the original owner did not die by jumping off a building at all, but rather experienced other more terrible things and was tortured to death.
The suicide by jumping off a building is just a fabrication in the book.
But right now, everything is just her guess, and she has no way of being sure. So she can only wait for the right opportunity to find the person the original owner warned her to be careful of, and see if she can get any hints from him.
Chi Shaokang nodded slightly: "Yes, the person who contacted Xia Jianyong has been arrested, although he is still stubbornly refusing to reveal his superiors or everything he knows."
"But we have already followed the clues and found some evidence. We just need to get him to talk and verify it one by one."
"With his capture, Xia Jianyong's existence has become meaningless. I made the arrangements yesterday, and Xia Jianyong was arrested today. I believe good news will come soon."
Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "Really? That's great! This scumbag is finally going to be caught and pay the price!"
Chi Shaokang hummed in agreement, his face apologetic: "I'm sorry, Xiao Huan, for making you wait so long."
