Chapter 280 Cleaning up the mess
"Lin Shu was the head nurse of the hospital at the time," Xiaojie's mother said with tears in her eyes. "She said this was the latest special medicine that could save Xiaojie's life... But who knew it was actually poison!"
Suddenly, I remembered Lin Shu's expression in the hospital corridor, the deep guilt and pain. It turned out that she was not only forced to participate in the false accounting, but also injected the children with deadly drugs. Her hands were stained with the blood of innocent people.
"This evidence is enough to overturn the verdict." Jiang Yichen's voice was filled with suppressed excitement, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open. We turned our heads at the same time and saw Lin Shu standing at the door, her face as pale as paper, her eyes full of regret and self-blame.
"I heard everything," she said, her voice trembling, barely able to utter a complete sentence. "I am willing to testify in court... I am willing to tell the truth for Xiaojie and all the victims."
"At that time, you threatened me..."
Her voice seemed to come out from the depths of her throat, with an indescribable pain. I looked at her, feeling mixed emotions. She used to be the financial director who worked diligently in the Jiang family, and the head nurse who took care of patients tenderly in the hospital. But now, she stood here, carrying a sin that could not be washed away.
"Lin Shu..." I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks: "I know that my crime is unforgivable... but I can't remain silent any longer. Those children, those families... I owe them an explanation."
Jiang Yichen walked up to her and said in a low and calm voice: "Your testimony is important, but we need more evidence. Are you willing to cooperate with us?"
Lin Shu nodded, her voice weak but firm: "I am willing...I am willing to do anything."
At the same time, in the garden outside the hospital, Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian were busy on the phone. Their eyes were focused and determined, and the notebooks in their hands were densely filled with various information.
"Yes, we need a list of all the medical staff involved in the fake drug case that year." Xu Sisi said into the phone, with an unquestionable determination in her voice.
Xiao Tiantian was tapping on her phone screen quickly, her eyes revealing a persistent sharpness: "And the families of the victims, we need to contact them and get more testimonies."
The wind blew through the garden, bringing a slight chill, but they seemed to be completely unaware. They had only one thing in mind: to seek justice for Xiaojie and all the victims.
"Sisi, I just received a message." Xiao Tiantian suddenly raised her head, with a hint of excitement in her voice, "A nurse from that year is willing to come forward to testify. She said she still has some records that have not been destroyed."
Xu Sisi's eyes lit up and she quickly closed her notebook: "Let's go, we'll go see her right away."
In the room, I stood by the window, looking at the gloomy sky outside, but my heart felt an unprecedented peace. The truth finally surfaced, and those crimes that had been buried would have nowhere to hide.
Jiang Yichen walked over to me and gently held my hand: "Next, it's the final battle."
I nodded, leaning on his shoulder, feeling his warmth: "Yes, the final battle...but we will definitely win."
He looked down at me, his eyes gentle but firm: "Yes, we will, together."
Outside the ward, Lin Shu stood at the end of the corridor, looking into the distance. Her back looked particularly frail, but there was a hint of relief in her eyes. Perhaps, for her, telling the truth was also a kind of relief.
Jiang Yichen and I will also take this truth to the final victory.
Jiang Yichen's eyes were calm and deep, like a bottomless lake. He looked at me and said in a low voice with an unquestionable power: "I have almost all the evidence against the Jin family. Their smuggling network, capital flow, and even their relationship with some high-level officials have been figured out. As long as this evidence is handed over to the police, the Jin family will never be able to turn things around."
I nodded, my fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of my clothes, but my heart felt like a stone was pressing down on it, heavy: "But the Jin family is very powerful, they will not sit still and wait for death. We have to be careful."
Jiang Yichen chuckled, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, like a touch of frost in winter. He reached out and gently held my hand. The warmth from his palm made me feel a little relieved: "Don't worry, I have arranged it. The Jin family has made many enemies over the years, especially their internal conflicts. Mr. Jin wants to make the Jin family the only one in power, but his two sons have their own ideas. The eldest son Jin Mingyuan is ambitious and wants to monopolize the family business; the youngest son Jin Minghui secretly colludes with outsiders and tries to get a piece of the pie. The conflict between them is our opportunity."
I frowned, feeling a little uneasy: "You mean... we can use their internal fighting to our advantage?"
"That's right." Jiang Yichen curled the corners of his lips and revealed a cold smile, which was somewhat sarcastic and fierce. "The more the Jin family fights among themselves, the more weight our evidence will have. When they become chaotic, we will take action and achieve twice the result with half the effort."
I looked at him, and suddenly I felt complicated. Jiang Yichen's calmness and decisiveness made me feel at ease, but at the same time, it also made me realize that this struggle was far more cruel than I had imagined. The Jin family was like a dormant beast. If we were not careful, we would be torn to pieces.
"Yichen..." I called him softly, with a hint of hesitation in my voice, "If we do this, will it be... too risky?"
He turned his head and his eyes fell gently on my face, like the sunshine in winter, warm but not dazzling. His voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable power: "In order to clear your grandfather's name, no matter how big the risk is, it is worth it."
I looked at him, and a warm current surged in my heart, as if all the fear and anxiety were resolved by his determination at this moment. The night outside the window was still deep, like an endless black curtain, which made people breathless. But I know that no matter how difficult the future is, we will go on together.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen's phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down at the screen, frowned slightly, and then sneered: "Jin Mingyuan and Jin Minghui have already started."
My heart tightened and I asked quickly, "What did they do?"
Jiang Yichen handed me the phone. On the screen was a brief message: "Jin Mingyuan sent people to intercept a batch of Jin Minghui's goods. Jin Minghui is gathering people to prepare for a counterattack."
I looked up at Jiang Yichen, feeling a little nervous: "Will they...really kill each other?"
Jiang Yichen curled his lips, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "The people of the Jin family have always put profit first. For the sake of the family business, they can do anything. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, wait until they are both defeated, and then take action to clean up the mess."
