A few days later, Xu Yanshu received a call from Dr. Wang, and he drove to the sanatorium again.
"Based on our comparison and Xiaoqing's description, the person who entered the room that day was probably Mr. Lu Huai."
really
Unsurprised, Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly, a thoughtful look in the depths of his eyes.
He will never admit it unless irrefutable evidence is presented, let alone be made to pay the price.
"So you really can't give me the video recording?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, this is our policy."
Dr. Wang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke bluntly, then, as if suddenly remembering something, he took a transparent, sealed bag from a nearby drawer.
“This was found by our staff while cleaning the room. They also noticed some marks on the armrests of the elderly person’s wheelchair.”
“I have already had the wheelchair placed separately. If necessary, you can have someone come and collect the evidence at any time.”
Xu Yanshu took it with some skepticism. Inside was a blue earring. After seeing it clearly, his aura suddenly became somber.
This thing belongs to Lu Huai!
He remembered that this earring was a birthday gift from Xie Huanyu to Lu Huai, which she had commissioned from abroad at a high price last year.
There is almost no possibility that something like this could be accidentally dropped, and the marks on the wheelchair were probably left by Lu Huai.
A surge of intense rage welled up in Xu Yanshu's eyes. He impulsively wanted to confront Lu Huai, but he had to force himself to calm down.
"Thank you, but I would like to ask you to keep this a secret for now and not let anyone else know about it,"
After carefully putting the items away, Xu Yanshu looked up at Dr. Wang and added, "Don't reveal anything to my family yet."
"Okay, I understand!"
——
Xie Huanyu originally intended to let the matter of the Lu family's bankruptcy go, but when he faced Lu Huai again, he couldn't help but ask the question.
"Since you knew all along that it was my father... then why did you never mention it to me?"
She was still struggling with whether or not to tell him, but it turned out that he already knew from the beginning.
“I know your personality too well. If I bring it up, it will only add to your psychological burden, even though this matter has nothing to do with you.”
That's really true!
Xie Huanyu unconsciously pursed her lips, her eyes becoming complicated without her noticing.
Although this was not her intention, it was all because of her. Not only did Ah Huai not blame her at all, but he also took care of her feelings.
Lu Huai casually fiddled with his phone, subtly taking in the changes in the woman's expression, his eyes darkening slightly.
So this woman actually knew nothing all along, but she was pretending to be stupid in front of me. This kind of behavior is typical of the Xie family!
Since they're going to play mind games, let's see who comes out on top.
"Ah Huai, thank you for being so understanding, but my dad has canceled my credit card, so I probably won't be able to help you with your business."
“Everything is ready now, all that’s needed is the funding,” Lu Huai paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly, a hint of worry in his expression. “If all else fails, I’ll just take out a bank loan!”
"It's just that banks are now very strict with credit checks, and since this company just went bankrupt, I don't know if I can get approved."
Seeing the other party's apparent distress, Xie Huanyu couldn't bear to stand idly by. After a slight hesitation, she spoke up.
"If all else fails, I'll try to think of something for you!"
If we ask Xiaoxiao and the others for help, we should be able to raise enough funds for Ahuai, but we need to keep a low profile.
If his father found out, he would definitely try to make things difficult for Ah Huai again.
"Well... alright then, Yu Bao, I'll definitely pay you back later!" Lu Huai looked at the woman with gratitude and said confidently.
Miss Xie was the one who volunteered to help me with this in the first place, so I can't just back out now.
Knowing that it was that old bastard Xie Junyang who was behind it all, he couldn't let the matter rest. He wanted Xie Junyang to understand that his daughter would always be at his mercy.
"By the way, is there any progress on Xu Yanshu's side?"
"I don't know, and I don't care," Xie Huanyu said nonchalantly, then vaguely sensed something was amiss and looked at Lu Huai with suspicion. "Why are you so concerned about him?"
“I… Yu Bao, I’m sorry, I kept it from you. I actually went to the sanatorium that day.”
What?
Xie Huanyu was surprised to hear this. She suddenly stood up and looked at Lu Huai in disbelief.
"You went? Then why did you say you didn't go when I asked you before? And what about Grandma fainting...?"
Before the other person could finish their question, Lu Huai interrupted and solemnly explained, "Absolutely not. I just didn't say anything because I was afraid you'd misunderstand me."
"I only went to see my grandma that day, stayed for about twenty minutes and then left. I never expected that she would faint!"
He chose to confess because he discovered that one of the earrings he was wearing that day was missing. Recalling the events of that day, he suspected that it had been accidentally left in the old woman's room.
Even if the earring goes unnoticed, with surveillance footage, you'll eventually be identified as a suspect.
Therefore, he had to tell Xie Huanyu in advance so that he could get the woman to stand on his side.
Even if he really didn't do anything, he was the only person to enter the room that day. Without other corroborating evidence, it's hard to say that his grandmother's fainting was unrelated to him.
Xie Huanyu was so angry she was speechless. She had thought Xu Yanshu was crazy to suspect Lu Huai, but she never expected him to actually be involved.
Recalling Lu Huai's previous resolute response, she couldn't help but feel even more disheartened. She had thought that Lu Huai would not hide anything from her, but in reality, he lied without batting an eye.
"Huanyu, you have to believe me, I really didn't..."
"I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now!" Xie Huanyu interrupted coldly before the other person could finish speaking, then got up and walked out of the coffee shop.
Not at all surprised by this, Lu Huai had no intention of chasing after him. He gently stirred the coffee in his hand, narrowing his eyes with a deep sense of unease.
This reaction was somewhat expected, and his purpose was simply to let Xie Huanyu know that he had been there.
As the truth came to light, she subconsciously covered for herself because she had known about it beforehand, and thus avoided questioning herself from Xu Yanshu's perspective.
Lu Huai curled his lips meaningfully. As long as Xie Huanyu stood by him, Xu Yanshu couldn't really do anything to him...
