Nan Zhuowen and Qiao Momo appeared at the door of the ward, and Shi Jing and the others were very happy.
Jian Rong was the most obvious among them; she almost pounced on him for a hug, but her mother quickly pressed her down.
"Behave yourself, kid. You're covered in injuries and you're still so unruly."
Jian Rongdi's cousin and Rong Yu took Jian's father to buy groceries and cook lunch at Zhao Xunkan's house. Now, besides the patients, only Zhao Xunkan and Jian's mother are in the ward.
Jian Rong was feeling bored when she saw Nan Zhuowen and Qiao Momo. How could she not be excited?
After confirming that their injuries were not serious, Nan Zhuowen's tone became much lighter. Seeing Jian Rong being held down by her mother, he couldn't help but tease her: "Look, you're still not behaving even when you're injured. You got what's coming to you."
"Ugh, my mom won't let me use my phone. How can I not be bored lying here like this?"
Upon hearing this, Jane's mother poked her forehead: "You've lost so much blood and you're still not behaving."
"Hehe." Jian Rong hugged her mother's arm affectionately and rubbed against her.
"I brought you a math book, why don't you take a look to pass the time?" Nan Zhuowen teased her.
"Oh, no need, I'll just close my eyes and rest then." The others were amused by her silly antics.
"I have some good news to tell you: the results for the CET-6 are out."
"Huh? I passed, right? I thought it was pretty easy." Jian Rong suddenly perked up and sat up abruptly.
Seeing her mischievous antics, Jane's mother couldn't help but feel exasperated. She quickly and carefully adjusted the IV line for her, saying, "Be quiet, you're still on an IV drip."
Nan Zhuowen also said, "Don't be so alarmed. With the grades of our dorm, passing the CET-6 will be a piece of cake."
"hey-hey."
Just as they were chatting and laughing, Shi Jing's phone suddenly rang.
She didn't know who had messaged her, but she reached out her hand, which wasn't receiving an injection, and picked up her phone from the bedside.
It was a text message sent to an unknown number.
Shi Jing opened the text message with suspicion, only to find that it contained only one sentence.
"Congratulations on escaping a disaster. I heard that someone was so angry that they smashed a set of their beloved figurines."
Upon seeing the message, Shi Jing immediately realized who the sender was.
It's Cai Jiajia!
It seems the other party is quite annoyed that they failed to kill him.
It was this text message that made Shi Jing even more certain that this matter was related to Cai Fanghai.
However, things once again reached a stalemate.
The investigation revealed that there were no suspicious financial transactions in the driver's, his wife's, or his daughter's accounts.
The investigators even discovered that the driver's mother was extremely sexist and favored sons over daughters. Ever since his wife gave birth to their daughter, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been very strained.
Since his mother passed away five years ago, the driver has rarely returned to his hometown. Fortunately, his wife also has a job, which has enabled them to barely support the mother and daughter.
As Shi Jing listened, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
"If he doesn't go home, where has he lived all these years?"
“We asked his colleagues, and they said that most of the time they are on the road. When they come back, they usually stay in the dormitory.”
Shi Jing was deep in thought.
My mind kept replaying what Lin Yu had just said: favoring sons over daughters, rarely coming home, sports cars...
"Brother Yu, check if he has any female friends he's been in close contact with," Shi Jing said. "A son who does nothing in the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflict, and whose mother is extremely sexist, how likely do you think he wouldn't be sexist?"
"you mean?"
"He hasn't been home for so many years, and he's really going to cultivate himself and honestly make money? Who does he plan to give all that money to?" Shi Jing sneered, thinking of the original owner's still vigorous, cheating father.
These men who favor sons over daughters will do anything for the sake of their so-called lineage.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away."
With a new direction for the investigation, Lin Yu immediately began making arrangements.
The direction of this investigation was indeed correct.
The next day, Shi Jing received the definite news.
Liang Qiu arrived at the hospital with the results of her investigation and handed Shi Jing a report.
"Du Xuemei, 30 years old, female, single and unemployed, has a six-year-old illegitimate child."
"Six years old?"
"Yes. Ma Zhuang and Du Xuemei met seven years ago, and had a son about nine months after they met."
"That really gets straight to the point," Shi Jing couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing Liang Qiu's gloating expression, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"
"Turn to the next page," she gestured, raising her chin.
Upon hearing this, Shi Jing turned to the next page.
The first few pages were mostly about Du Xuemei's life and background, but when she turned to a certain page later, she suddenly paused: "This..."
The file on Du Xuemei's account clearly stated that she had another lover.
Moreover, she had known that lover for even longer than Ma Zhuang.
Du Xuemei's other lover was also a married man whose job required frequent business trips, and the city where Du Xuemei lived was one of the places he frequently traveled to.
Both of these men were frequently out and about, and Du Xuemei was lucky that she hadn't been exposed all these years.
"...Does this woman have a stamp collecting interest?"
Jian Rong, who had somehow gotten close, muttered curiously.
Shi Jing was speechless. He reached out and pushed her head, saying, "You're talking nonsense. Be careful, or your auntie will hit you if she sees you."
Jian Rong's condition is not serious, and her father and Jian Li went home today.
Jane's mother stayed to take care of her daughter, planning to go back with Zhao Xunkan in his car after her daughter was discharged from the hospital and went to school.
