Chapter 76 Chen Jinghe tells Xie Peizhou the truth
-
Police station.
"Miss Wen."
Yan Yujiao handed Wen Ci a notice requiring signature. "The 303 million yuan that was extorted from you by the kidnapper Zhong Yuguang and transferred to an overseas account has gone through the legal procedures. Just sign and the money will be returned to your account."
Wen Ci took the notice, confirmed it was correct, and signed her name on it. "Thank you, Officer Yan."
“That’s our responsibility.”
Yan Yujiao said in a deep voice, "Although the extortion money has been recovered, there has been no progress in the case. Currently, there is no evidence to prove that Zhong Yuguang has accomplices or is the mastermind behind the incident. However, we will continue to investigate. If you have any clues, please contact me immediately."
Wen Ci responded. She had already told the police all the information she could provide last time. The only people who knew that her daughter had inherited Grandpa Xie's huge inheritance were those who were present when Grandpa Xie's will was made public after his funeral.
But the only ones who had a grudge against her and wanted to kill her and her son were probably Xie Ling and Song Wanqing.
Yan Yujiao nodded: "We will dig deeper into this clue and will not let any criminal escape the punishment of the law."
When he left the police station, the huge amount of extortion had already been transferred into Wen Ci's bank account.
Since ancient times, it has been easier to add icing on the cake than to provide timely assistance.
Wen Ci deeply remembers this kindness.
She immediately repaid the loans to her relatives and friends who had lent her money in desperate situations. For those who were not in Beijing, she mailed some small gifts to express her gratitude. For those who were in Beijing, she visited them one by one to express her thanks.
In the evening, Wen Ci entered the "Mind Harbor" psychological clinic carrying Lu Bingchen's favorite chestnut cake. She had promised to treat Lu Bingchen to dinner, but she had never fulfilled her promise.
But unfortunately, Lu Bingchen's assistant apologized and said, "Sorry, Miss Wen, Dr. Lu is on vacation this week and is not in Beijing."
"Where did he go?"
"Looking at Dr. Lu's updated WeChat Moments location, it seems he's in Norway."
"Norway?"
Wen Ci opened her phone and clicked on Lu Bingchen's Moments. Sure enough, the two latest updates were both located at a five-star hotel in Norway. Xie Yiyi had also been working in Norway for the past week, participating in a photoshoot for a jewelry brand and staying at the same hotel.
Wen Ci smiled and dialed Lu Bingchen's WeChat number.
No one answered.
Wen Ci had no choice but to send him a voice message: "Uncle Lu, I have transferred the money you lent me to help me in my time of need to your account. I wanted to treat you to dinner today, but I didn't expect you to be away from Beijing. I will treat you to dinner another day when I have time. Thank you again for your care."
After sending the message, Wen Ci gave the chestnut cake in her hand to Lu Bingchen's assistant to thank her for her reception.
After coming out of Lu Bingchen's psychological clinic, there were still two people left who had not yet thanked him.
One was Chen Jinghe from Jingya Hospital. Chen Jinghe borrowed 3.8 million yuan from her, both in small and large amounts. He probably lent her all his savings for emergency use.
The other one is Xie Peizhou, with 150 million.
When she thought of Xie Peizhou, Wen Ci pursed her lips unconsciously and her cheeks became hot.
Five minutes later, she hailed a taxi on the roadside and told it the address of Jingya Hospital.
"Doctor Chen, someone is looking for you."
In the office, Chen Jinghe was working at his desk. When he heard the nurse's reminder, he rubbed his stiff shoulders and neck, raised his head, and saw Wen Ci standing at the door.
His eyes lit up and he came out happily, "Wen Ci, why are you here!"
"Didn't I disturb you from working?"
Wen Ci smiled lightly and handed the shoulder and neck massage chair she had prepared to Chen Jinghe. "Thank you for helping me last time. This small gift is not a token of my respect. I hope you can accept it."
"I did all of this willingly, but I'm very happy to receive a gift from you that was so thoughtful, such as a shoulder and neck massage chair."
Chen Jinghe smiled gently, placed the gift on his desk, and looked at his watch. "It's time for dinner, Wen Ci, let's go have dinner together?"
As Chen Jinghe spoke, he took off his white coat.
Seeing this, Wen Ci nodded and did not refuse.
The two of them chose a Cantonese restaurant near the hospital. The seats were by the window and the environment was good so they could eat and chat at the same time.
"Did Nian Nian's surgery go smoothly?"
Chen Jinghe used a serving chopstick to pick up some food for Wen Ci and greeted her with concern.
He had been in touch with Wen Ci via WeChat and knew that Wen Ci had taken her daughter to Washington for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, but...
"I heard that Xie Peizhou went with you?"
Wen Ci ate her food and nodded, "Well, Nian Nian's operation went smoothly. She was transferred to the pediatric inpatient department of your hospital two days ago."
"Is that so? You didn't even tell me about it even after we arrived at Jingya."
Chen Jinghe complained jokingly, but a sense of loss flashed through his heart.
Nian Nian was transferred to his hospital for two days, but Wen Ci didn't tell him about it.
On weekdays, if he didn't look for Wen Ci to chat, Wen Ci would hardly take the initiative to talk to him.
But during this period, Xie Peizhou stayed with the mother and daughter.
The man's hand gripping the chopsticks tensed, "Does Xie Peizhou know that Nian Nian is his biological daughter?"
Wen Ci looked around warily, shook her head and said softly, "No."
Chen Jinghe frowned calmly. Since Xie Peizhou didn't know the truth, why did he spend so much time accompanying them and their daughter in Washington? As the head of the Xie Group, does he have such a small workload?
A sense of crisis came to my mind.
Chen Jinghe looked at Wen Ci and suddenly confessed, "Wen Ci, can you give me a chance? I really like you! I've had you in my heart since high school. I also like Nian Nian very much. I will definitely treat her as my own daughter in the future."
Wen Ci's back stiffened for a moment. She didn't expect Chen Jinghe to suddenly confess to her.
She said sternly, "Chen Jinghe, I'm sorry, I really don't have any romantic feelings for you. You're a very good person, thank you for helping me when I needed it most, but love can't be forced. In the future, you will definitely meet a woman you like better."
Wen Ci picked up the teacup and toasted him with tea instead of wine.
Chen Jinghe smiled bitterly, Wen Ci was unwilling to give him even a chance.
"Try it, this sweet and sour pork with pineapple is delicious."
Knowing that Wen Ci was deliberately changing the subject, he nodded and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with his chopsticks, "Really? Let me try it."
…
After dinner, Chen Jinghe used the excuse that he had to go back to the hospital for duty at night and insisted on sending Wen Ci downstairs to the inpatient department.
"Excuse me, I'll go up first."
"Well, tell Nian Nian that I'm happy. I'll visit her in the ward when I have time."
Wen Ci smiled, waved to him and said okay.
Turning his head forward, he ran into Xie Peizhou walking out of the inpatient building.
The man was dressed in a suit and tie, standing tall and stern, his deep black eyes fixed coldly on her face.
Wen Ci's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable sense of guilt came over her.
When Xie Peizhou walked up to her, she lowered her eyes and quickly called him "Uncle", asked him to check her bank account, and then walked past him quickly.
Xie Peizhou's tall figure froze, but his heart felt like it was being bitten by ants, and a sour feeling spread.
Talking and laughing with Chen Jinghe, seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Uncle."
Xie Peizhou looked at Chen Jinghe, who was standing beside Wen Ci and addressing him respectfully, with a cold expression on his face. "How am I your uncle?"
Chen Jinghe smiled and was not annoyed.
He looked in the direction where Wen Ci left with gentle eyes, his heart beating hotly in his chest.
He liked Wen Ci and fell in love with her at first sight during military training in his freshman year of high school. He had a crush on her for three years. His confession in his senior year of high school was rejected, but he still couldn't forget her in his heart. Wen Ci would always be the white moonlight in his youthful memories.
So, when he was on a business trip to the neighboring city, he received a call from Wen Ci proposing to marry him. He was so excited that he thought a pie had fallen on his head. Even if Wen Ci was just trying to fight for the custody of Wen Niannian, he was willing to do it!
Wen Ci's back disappeared in the corridor. Chen Jinghe withdrew his gaze and looked at Xie Peizhou who had passed by him.
The man's back revealed an overbearing and indifferent look.
Chen Jinghe called him, his voice still gentle, "Do you want to know who Nian Nian's biological father is?"
Xie Peizhou stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at him coldly.
"What did you say?"
Chen Jinghe's body stiffened for a moment, and he clenched his hanging hands into fists.
He really loves Wen Ci and wants to be with her and become husband and wife.
If Xie Peizhou knew that Nian Nian was his biological daughter, he would definitely sue Wen Ci. If Wen Ci wanted to win, she could only get married with him and form a complete new family suitable for the healthy growth of her daughter.
"I said, I can tell you who Nian Nian's biological father is."
