The nurse nodded. "That's right, it's an induced labor."
She then took out her phone, which contained a photo she had secretly taken of Song Wan's medical report.
“You may not recognize these numbers and technical terms,” the nurse said, “but I know that these truly reflect Ms. Song’s previous physical condition… She did have an induced abortion, and according to her medical records, the fetus was already four or five months old at that time, which should have been the most stable period of her pregnancy, yet she still had an induced abortion… I really don’t understand what happened back then…”
Bai Ruogu narrowed his eyes, bit his lip, and a sinister look appeared on his pale face.
"You don't understand, but I do."
"What?" the nurse exclaimed in surprise. "Young Master Bai, you..."
"Alright." Bai Ruogu looked at her. "Don't tell anyone about this. We probably won't need you for a while. Be careful."
The nurse agreed and quietly slipped out through a side door.
Bai Ruogu stood there for a long time, thinking it over and over, and concluded that this matter was probably inseparable from Lin Zhaojiang.
In his memory, Song Wan was a very conservative woman when it came to relationships. Even when they were engaged, Song Wan would only hold hands and hug him at most, but never even kiss him!
Not to mention any further intimacy.
But after they broke up, she quickly got together with Lin Zhaojiang and was even taken to the hospital for a checkup by him.
but……
There was still one thing Bai Ruogu couldn't understand.
If Song Wan's induced abortion was really related to Lin Zhaojiang, then they should have known each other for a long time. But why did Song Wan treat Lin Zhaojiang like a stranger at the beginning?
He was completely baffled, but then he suddenly remembered the man who had beaten him up and sent him to the hospital.
That person's name seems to be Wu Qiang?
When Wu Qiang hit him, he clearly recognized him. He even said something like, "What kind of man can't even control his own fiancée? Lin Zhaojiang snatched her away again, huh! Haha..."
again?
What does "again" mean?
Something flashed through Bai Ruogu's mind in an instant, and he hurriedly dialed the lawyer's number.
"Young Master?" The Bai family's lawyer was somewhat surprised to receive the call. "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine..." Bai Ruogu said in a low voice, "You can do me a favor now."
"What's wrong?"
"Get that Wu Qiang out of jail!"
The lawyer was taken aback and remained silent for a long time.
"Are you even listening?!"
“Young Master…” the lawyer snapped out of his daze, “That man assaulted you, and the evidence is irrefutable. The trial is in two days, and we’re absolutely confident we can put him in jail! Moreover, I’m confident we can convict him of a serious crime; his future will be very difficult…”
"I don't want any of this!" Bai Ruogu roared into the phone. "I'm not pursuing this anymore! I don't want him to go to jail, I just want you to bail him out! I'm dropping the charges! Do you understand?"
Although the lawyer found it puzzling, he still agreed to Bai Ruogu's request.
A few days later, Wu Qiang walked out of the police station unharmed.
However, as soon as he left the police station, he was taken to a hot pot restaurant.
Wu Qiang glanced at the entrance with a guilty conscience; it seemed to be the very place where he had drunkenly injured Bai Ruogu.
He instinctively tried to back away, but the men in black on either side forced him through the door like an animal. Wu Qiang couldn't resist and could only drag his feet forward.
Upon entering the store, they found that Bai Ruogu was the only person inside.
The hot pot on the table was bubbling and steaming, with a layer of chili oil floating on top. Its fiery red color resembled the forked tongue of a python, as if it were about to open its bloody maw and drag him into hell at any moment.
Wu Qiang looked up and suddenly met Bai Ruogu's cold, smiling eyes. He was startled and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Mr. Wu, why such a grand gesture?" Bai Ruogu said calmly. "Speaking of which, we almost became family!"
Wu Qiang was covered in sweat and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
Bai Ruogu had someone help him up and sit on the bench opposite him. Wu Qiang's hands were restrained, a stark contrast to his arrogant demeanor when he was drunk.
Bai Ruogu glanced at him with disdain.
When he was engaged to Song Wan, he had never met her family. Firstly, he was abroad most of the time and didn't have the time. Secondly, he looked down on her family from the bottom of his heart and felt there was no need to meet them.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Wu Qiang under these circumstances.
“Mr. Wu, actually, my injuries haven’t fully healed yet,” he said coldly, “but I still bailed you out. Do you know why?”
"I...I don't know."
"Because I want to hear some truth from you!"
Bai Ruogu looked at him coldly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Wu Qiang's mind went completely blank.
He had received a lot of "preferential treatment" inside these past few days, which was probably all arranged by the Bai family. Only then did he understand what it meant to be a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even though the Bai family was not as powerful as before, dealing with him was still as easy as crushing a fly. The Bai family was not one he could easily provoke.
At this moment, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, pleading repeatedly, "Young Master Bai, please give me a clear answer... What exactly do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know!"
Bai Ruogu was very satisfied with this attitude.
He smiled slightly, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
“I want to know about Song Wan.” He looked at Wu Qiang. “As her former brother-in-law, shouldn’t you tell me something?”
Wu Qiang was stunned. It turned out that Bai Ruogu had already investigated him thoroughly.
They even found out about his divorce from Song Xi.
"You've been with the Song family for so many years, you must know a lot about Song Wan, right?" Bai Ruogu swirled his wine.
"Yes...yes!" Wu Qiang dared not refute.
"Then tell me, and if you tell even one lie, do you know what the consequences will be!"
Wu Qiang gasped and began to tell him Song Wan's past in a clear and detailed manner.
“That girl Song Wan… she’s their family’s cash cow! Back in Yun City, she was with Lin Zhaojiang. To be precise, she was Lin Zhaojiang’s kept woman…”
Bai Ruogu was startled. "What did you say?"
"Heh..." Wu Qiang chuckled awkwardly, "Actually, I don't know if it counts or not. Although Lin Zhaojiang was already divorced at that time, he was much older than her and unwilling to marry her. In the eyes of outsiders, their relationship wasn't exactly clean..."
"Song Wan also has an older brother. Her mother favors boys over girls and is like a vampire, squeezing money out of her two daughters... My ex-wife is just not very good-looking. If she were as beautiful as Song Wan, she might have been sold by her mother to sleep with old men too!"
Bai Ruogu's expression changed, and he gripped the wine glass in his hand tightly.
The private room was so quiet that the only sound was the simmering of the hot pot.
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "What else? Keep going! What exactly happened with their child?"
"Well... it's a long story." Wu Qiang scratched his head. "Song Wan almost lost her life because of that child. And because of that, the girl was traumatized and forgot everything that happened before."
