Chapter 163 Questioning Lu Xin!
Seeing her like this, the doctor asked again, "Do your parents usually take sleeping pills?"
Su Mengxue shook her head and replied firmly, "They both have always had good sleep quality. I've never heard them complain about having trouble falling asleep or needing to take sleeping pills."
Upon hearing this, the doctor warned, "There's a lot of sleeping pills in their blood. Even if they have trouble falling asleep, they wouldn't be able to take such a large dose. I think this is a bit suspicious."
Su Mengxue blurted out: "You mean this fire was premeditated?"
The doctor was silent for a moment before replying, "Just now, the police came to inquire about your parents' condition and mentioned the situation at your home. The entire house has been burned down, so finding evidence might be difficult. I just think this is a coincidence. As to whether it was premeditated, the police will have to continue their investigation."
Su Mengxue's heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling that this wasn't an accident but a deliberate act. Who was trying to harm them?
Her eyes darkened. Only Lu Xin and the nanny lived with them. The nanny was an elderly person they had employed for a long time. Moreover, Aunt Zhang had taken leave to visit her hometown these days, so there was no possibility that she would harm them.
Moreover, Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi are low-key and generous people who usually do not make enemies with others. The only person she suspects now is Lu Xin.
But Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi adopted her, gave her a good life, and raised her for so many years. What motive did she have for doing this?
She curled her fingers at her side and asked calmly, "Doctor, where is Lu Xin now? How is she doing?"
"Her injuries are not serious, just some minor skin injuries. She is now in Ward 306. You can visit her anytime."
After hearing this, Su Mengxue became even more suspicious of her. Lu Zhi and Zhou Huizhen lived on the first floor, and Lu Xin lived upstairs. How come when the house caught fire, she only suffered some minor injuries, but they were so seriously injured?
Without giving it much thought, she pressed on, "Doctor, were sleeping pills found in her blood?"
"No." The doctor replied firmly.
Su Mengxue became even more suspicious, and she wanted to ask Lu Xin what was going on.
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and took a few steps. After thinking for a while, she stepped back and said, "Doctor, until the matter is fully investigated, can you help keep my parents and our family's situation confidential for the time being, including the matter of sleeping pills?"
If the house was completely destroyed, it would be difficult to find evidence, and she couldn't let the person who actually drugged her know about it.
The doctor understood what she meant and replied without hesitation: "Doctors have an obligation to keep patients' secrets. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this except the police officers at the police station."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Although Su Mengxue became suspicious of Lu Xin, she was, after all, the child raised by Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi for so many years, and she was afraid that she had suspected the wrong person.
In order to prevent someone else from drugging or setting the fire, she specifically instructed Lu Yuanzhou to guard the door of the intensive care unit before going to find Lu Xin to prevent them from getting into trouble.
After she finished her instructions, she quickly walked towards Ward 306. However, when she reached the door and was about to open it, she thought for a moment and stopped.
She stood there, calmed down, and thought for a while before pushing the door and entering the ward.
Lying on the hospital bed, Lu Xin saw Su Mengxue coming. She suppressed her guilt, sat up with difficulty, and asked with concern, "How are Mom and Dad?"
Seeing her anxious look, Su Mengxue slowly walked up to her and deliberately didn't tell her about Zhou Huizhen and Lu Xin's situation. Instead, she put on a sullen face and changed the subject: "How are you doing now?"
"I was injured in several places on my body, and I accidentally inhaled toxic gas into my nose. I have no strength and my head is dizzy. I am afraid I will need to stay in the hospital for a few days."
As Lu Xin spoke, he held his forehead with his hand, looking painful.
Seeing her behavior, Su Mengxue's suspicion of her became even stronger.
She stared at Lu Xin intently and said coldly, "I've already asked the doctor, and he said you're fine. But you sounded so serious, so it seems you still need a doctor to check you out."
The air froze for a few moments, and Lu Xin replied with an unnatural expression: "I do feel a little unwell, but there's no need for a doctor to check again. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Mengxue secretly for a few times, and cautiously asked, "What about Mom and Dad? How are they doing now? Are they...are they awake?"
Su Mengxue looked directly at her and replied simply, "They are both out of danger now and are being observed in the intensive care unit. It won't be long before they can be transferred to a regular ward."
When Lu Xin heard the news, her pupils shrank and she asked nervously, "Did my parents say anything?"
After she said this, she saw Su Mengxue looking at her, and quickly realized that she had overreacted, and quickly added: "I'm glad that Mom and Dad are okay."
Of course Su Mengxue noticed that something was wrong with her. She said that Zhou Huizhen and Lu Zhi were about to wake up, and her first feeling was not relief but nervousness. In addition, compared to their illness, she was more concerned about what they would say.
She suddenly felt that she could conclude at this moment that Lu Xin was definitely involved in this matter. She looked at Lu Xin and asked, "What did my parents say? If you mean about the fire, I haven't seen them yet."
Lu Xin calmed down a little, a smile on his lips, and he agreed repeatedly: "Yes, they have just been rescued, and we won't be able to see them so soon."
After she finished speaking, she quickly added, "I'm just too concerned."
Su Mengxue glanced at her sideways and added slowly, "That's why I came here to ask you, what happened today? Why did your house suddenly catch fire?"
Lu Xin paused for a moment, then replied, "It must be the aging electrical circuits in our home that caught fire on the sofa in the living room. When I smelled smoke and went downstairs, I saw the sofa and the curtains next to it were already ablaze. Thinking back to that scene, I still have lingering fears."
Su Mengxue's eyes darkened as she pressed on, "Were my parents taking a nap when the house caught fire? They didn't even notice the loud noise?"
Lu Xin pursed her lips and replied, "They were indeed taking a nap when the house caught fire. Besides, a fire wouldn't make much noise, so it's normal that they couldn't hear it."
"I heard the doctor say that my parents were still unconscious when they were brought to the hospital. There was a fire, so how could they be so sleepy? Could they have taken sleeping pills?"
She paused deliberately after she finished speaking. She saw that Lu Xin's face was pale and it was obvious that he was guilty.
Then he asked, "Lu Xin, do your parents have trouble falling asleep and need to take sleeping pills?"
