"He wasn't a stranger. I think that person had visited Grandma before, so I didn't pay much attention!"
Have you been here before?
Xu Yanshu frowned. Usually, only he and Xie Huanyu would come to see his grandmother. ... His pupils suddenly contracted as he suddenly remembered that Lu Huai had also come to see his grandmother more than once before.
The thought that Lu Huai might have done something caused a surge of anger in Xu Yanshu's heart, and a fierce look gradually appeared between his brows.
At this moment, he noticed that Aunt Xu next to him seemed hesitant to speak, so he quickly asked her.
"Aunt Xu, has something come to mind?"
"I... I didn't close the door when I went to buy fruit, but it was closed when I came back," Aunt Xu stammered.
I thought it was just a lapse of memory or a coincidence, but now it seems a bit off.
So that means someone really did go into Grandma's room!
Xu Yanshu pursed his lips seriously, not mentioning his suspicions, and instead looked at the person sitting at the desk.
"Dr. Wang, I remember there are security cameras in the corridor, right?"
Dr. Wang nodded cautiously, "Indeed, I will have the security department retrieve the video footage from the relevant time period immediately."
About twenty minutes later, the group confirmed through video footage that someone had entered the room, but because the person was dressed in all black, they could not determine the person's identity at that time.
Why does this person's build look so much like Ah Huai?
Xie Huanyu was startled by this thought, her face suddenly turned pale, and then she subconsciously shook her head.
Although she was unhappy that Ah Huai's good intentions were misunderstood, since Xu Yanshu had already made her point, she instructed Lu Huai not to bother her grandmother so easily again.
Besides, Ah Huai has been busy with his startup these past few days, so he probably won't have time to come...
Xu Yanshu subtly observed the woman's changing expression. It seemed she recognized the people inside, and her eyes deepened slightly without her noticing.
"Dr. Wang, may I take this video recording? I'd like the police to verify the other person's identity!"
Suspicion aside, everything nowadays requires concrete evidence. The only way to find out what happened quickly is to involve the police, and then bring the murderer to justice.
Before Dr. Wang could even respond, Xie Huanyu spoke up, saying, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
“If the police get involved, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the nursing home.”
So she's planning to protect Lu Huai?
Xu Yanshu stared intently at Xie Huanyu, his entire aura unexpectedly becoming somber.
This woman has absolutely no principles when it comes to matters related to Lu Huai, even trying to evade responsibility in matters of life and death.
Xie Huanyu inevitably felt a little guilty. Although she believed that Ah Huai would never do anything to hurt her grandmother, she couldn't be sure that he might have actually come by that morning.
If we rashly submit this to the police, it might cause Ah Huai unnecessary trouble.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Wang realized that this matter could easily implicate the sanatorium, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Mr. Xu, this is indeed not in accordance with the sanatorium's regulations."
"If the other party has indeed visited the elderly before, we can also verify their identity by checking the visitor records. We will have someone investigate this matter."
hehe!
Xu Yanshu gave a noncommittal sneer, then turned and walked out of the office without saying a word.
Watching the man's resolute departing figure, Xie Huanyu's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely realized that she shouldn't have so blatantly stopped Xu Yanshu.
Now that things have come to this, she has to go find Ah Huai right away.
After regaining her senses, Xie Huanyu rushed to find someone, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Dr. Wang.
"Dr. Wang, please let me know as soon as your investigation makes any progress,"
"I will naturally inform Yan Shu at that time, so as to prevent him from doing anything impulsive."
Dr. Wang nodded in agreement, "I understand."
Besides the sanatorium, Xie Huanyu immediately called Lu Huai. After learning that he was at Lan Yue Pavilion, she drove there right away, completely unaware that she had a tail following her.
Upon entering the private room, Xie Huanyu sat down and immediately got straight to the point, asking,
"Ah Huai, did you go to the sanatorium this morning?"
Upon hearing this, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in the man's eyes. He hadn't expected that suspicion would fall on him so quickly.
He had been following the news from the hospital, and only received a call twenty minutes earlier that he learned the old woman had become a half-dead, vegetative state patient.
Lu Huai was not very satisfied with this result. Only when the old woman breathed her last could Xu Yanshu be truly dealt a blow.
Judging from the tone of the question, Xie Huanyu didn't seem to quite believe herself.
"No, didn't you tell me not to bother Grandma so easily?" Lu Huai shrugged nonchalantly, then feigned confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Huanyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she had indeed been overthinking things. Then, she calmly explained,
"Grandma suddenly fainted. The nurse said someone went to see her this morning!"
It's good that Ah Huai didn't go there. If she had known it would be like this, she shouldn't have stopped Xu Yanshu from taking the surveillance video. Maybe she could have found out sooner why Grandma suddenly fainted.
Damn it!
Lu Huai cursed under his breath in frustration. He had been very careful when he went in, but he hadn't expected to be noticed.
"So what? So you suspect it's me?"
Xie Huanyu quickly waved her hand, "I...no, A-Huai,"
"I believe you, it's just that the person in the surveillance footage looks somewhat similar to you from behind."
Lu Huai's eyelids twitched, and he unconsciously asked, "What surveillance?"
"It was a surveillance camera in the sanatorium corridor. Due to the angle, it only captured the person's back."
Lu Huai's expression grew increasingly grim. He had been there several times before and hadn't found any surveillance cameras, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to act so blatantly.
If there were surveillance cameras, wouldn't it be easy to find out about me?
Assuming the other person was still bothered by her earlier question, Xie Huanyu spoke again on her own.
"Ah Huai, I might have been confused in my haste, but I really didn't mean to doubt you."
Lu Huai seemed oblivious to this, a deep-seated suspicion hidden in his eyes. He asked casually, "So what does Xu Yanshu plan to do now?"
"I……"
Just as Xie Huanyu was about to answer, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Yanshu walked in alone.
"Of course, call the police!" [Reader's Check-in: If you've read this far, please leave a comment! You can customize the format—leave a message for the male or female lead, or a description of the plot you're most looking forward to. Get active, everyone!!!]
