No sooner had Cheng Ran left than the doctor entered. Seeing that there was no one else in the room except for Old Lin lying on the bed, a look of suspicion crossed his face.
"Mr. Lin, who were you talking to inside just now?"
"You misheard me, I was talking to myself..."
Turning his head away, Old Lin made up a flimsy excuse, but the doctor wouldn't let him off the hook. She scanned the entire ward and noticed the window was open. She frowned, walked over, looked down, but saw nothing. She closed the window, returned to the bedside, bent down, grabbed Old Lin's neck, and snorted.
"Don't lie to me. There were clearly people inside just now. Since you knew to hide from me, it means you know everything. If that's the case... I can't let you live any longer, otherwise my life will be gone along with yours!"
"Well……"
As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor tightened his grip on Old Lin, his face contorted with rage. If any other bad rumors got out, they would definitely trace it back to him. Rather than that, he might as well go all the way!
"Let go...you...bastard..."
"Don't blame me for this. Blame it on your old age and your thieving ways! When you get to the underworld, remember that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Don't go after the wrong person!"
Knowing he wouldn't make it today, Old Lin struggled to raise his hand and desperately grabbed the doctor's arm.
"I...won't...let...you go!"
The ward suddenly fell silent. Old Lin turned his head to the side, revealing some marks on his neck. The doctor, regaining his senses, staggered and sat down on the floor.
But he quickly calmed down, moved the person to a wheelchair, covered them with a blanket, and pushed them out...
As long as the body is disposed of, there will be no way to verify the facts, and at most it can be considered that he neglected his duties!
Not long after Cheng Ran left the hospital, a bad feeling welled up in her heart.
What will happen to Old Lin after he leaves? Will something happen to him?
He paused, hesitating whether to go back and take another look, or just go and do his own thing.
Reason told him that going back was absolutely out of the question. The most urgent task was to prove Jiang Wanqing's innocence, expose the conspiracy of the Wang family, and have her personally tell Old Master Lin that things had succeeded.
Gritting his teeth, Cheng Ran quickened his pace and hurried towards the factory...
Hong Xing and Molly were checking the goods when they saw him arrive. They were both surprised and delighted, as they were unaware that Jiang Wanqing had been arrested for investigation.
"Brother Cheng, what brings you here? Aren't you at work today?"
"It's urgent. Come with me to Wanqing's office."
His expression was serious. Hung Hing realized something was wrong, exchanged a glance with Molly, and followed Cheng Ran with slightly heavy steps.
After closing the door, Hung Hing asked, "Brother Cheng, is something wrong? Why isn't your wife with you? Don't scare us..."
Upon hearing this, Molly realized something was amiss and immediately agreed.
"Yes, where is Wanqing? She said she would go back to the factory to handle some work after the institute's assessment was over. She should have come by now."
Cheng Ran sighed and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I came to you to talk about Wanqing. There was a problem with the exam. She was falsely accused of leaking the questions and has now been taken away by the higher-ups for investigation."
"What?!" Molly jumped up immediately and shouted, "That's impossible! Anyone could leak the questions, but Wanqing wouldn't!"
"Brother Cheng, I'm on Molly's side in this matter. Something must have gone wrong. How could your wife have leaked the exam questions? You must prove her innocence. We can't let her be falsely accused!"
"I care about Wanqing's matter more than any of you!" Cheng Ran slammed his fist on the table. "I didn't come here to upset you!"
"Then tell me, what do you need us to do? We're willing to do anything to get my sister-in-law back to normal!"
"Hung Hing's meaning is my meaning; Wan Ching cannot be harmed!"
"Okay, listen up. I need money now. Give me any money that is within my means and will not affect the operation of the factory. I will pay it back in full later."
Cheng Ran naturally knew some connections, but since he left the army, they had become somewhat estranged. It was only by showing up in person and giving gifts that things would go smoothly. Most of the money he had was invested in the factory, and he didn't have enough cash on hand right now.
“I’ll go check it out.” Hung Hing immediately took action.
Molly wanted to go with them, but in the end she stopped, stared at Cheng Ran, and clenched her fists.
"Was Wanqing framed this time by the same group of people who targeted the factory last time?"
He frowned and replied, "Yes."
“I understand. You can take Hung Hing with you. It will be easier to get things done if you have someone by your side. He is the perfect person for you.”
"What about the factory? Can you manage by yourself?"
"Yes, I can do it. Don't worry, I will never let Wanqing down!"
Since she had already put it that way, it would be impolite for Cheng Ran to refuse again. Besides, he did need someone by his side, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll leave the factory work to you."
"At this time, let's not talk about how hard it is. As long as Wanqing can come back safely, I'm willing to do it!"
As they were talking, Hong Xing returned after checking and handed Cheng Ran a bankbook.
"Brother Cheng, it's all here. If it's not enough, we'll chip in some more. Your wife has helped us earn a lot of money over the years. Whatever we chip in is a token of our appreciation."
Cheng Ran glanced at the amount on the passbook, closed it, put it in his pocket, and patted Hong Xing.
"Thank you, this is enough. Come with me."
Hung Hing visibly paused for a moment, then glanced at Molly, who nodded.
"Okay, Brother Cheng, I'll go with you!"
There was no time to lose; they needed to act quickly. Cheng Ran didn't bother with any more pleasantries and left the factory with Hong Xing.
They needed to visit an old acquaintance first, Cheng Ran's former boss's house...
But they had only gone halfway when they were stopped by a child who looked like a beggar.
"Brother, brother, someone is looking for you over there."
The child pointed to an alley not far away, and before Cheng Ran could take a step, Hong Xing pulled him back.
"Brother Cheng, let me go take a look for you first."
"No need, let's go together."
He didn't let Hung Hing go first, but went together with him. He had a feeling it wasn't a bad thing, and sure enough, when they got there, they saw Ho Meng and his group.
"Comrade Cheng."
He Meng greeted him, and Cheng Ran nodded slightly.
"What brings you here? What's the matter?"
"It's not convenient to talk here, come with me."
"good."
Cheng Ran went along without worry, but Hong Xing hesitated.
"Brother Cheng, who are they? Are they really okay?"
"Yes, don't worry, they are victims too."
"I see."
The two followed He Meng to a courtyard where there were some other people, whom Cheng Ran had met before, the ones Jiang Wanqing had treated them to dinner.
"Is this where you live?"
"Yes, Comrade Cheng, please sit down." He Meng brought over a stool for them to sit down. "We've all heard about Comrade Jiang's matter."
