Chapter 77 Wouldn't mind taking someone down with me before I die
Xie Nanzhi stopped her abruptly, "What are you doing, acting so crazy?"
Seeing Xie Nanzhi, Xi Bei calmed down a little. She was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged. She cursed loudly, "That bastard Shen Xu dared to use me to scheme against you. Today I will tear him to pieces."
Xibei is quite intelligent. She heard from the maid that Xie Nanzhi had called to ask the family to send a car to pick her up, and she guessed the whole story.
In a fit of rage, Xi Bei felt an urge to kill Shen Xu.
"Alright, you don't have that chance now." Xie Nanzhi snatched the kitchen knife from Xibei and handed it to the maid who was standing next to her.
Xibei asked, "What do you mean?"
Xie Nanzhi sat down, calm and composed. "Chen Xu is locked up inside and hasn't come out yet. Are you going to storm into the detention center?"
Xibei immediately became interested and walked over to Xie Nanzhi's side, bringing her little face close. "Oh, there's such a thing? Tell me quickly so I can have some fun."
After a brief retelling, Xibei exclaimed in amazement, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Nanzhi, sometimes I really admire your clever little brain. How do you come up with these wicked tricks?"
Xie Nanzhi glanced at it. "Are you sure you're praising me?"
Xibei chuckled, "Of course, it's already quite an achievement to be able to form such a sentence with my limited vocabulary."
Xibei blinked, making Xie Nanzhi laugh.
Then, getting back to the main point, Xie Nanzhi said, "Xibei, get me some medicine to treat external injuries."
Xibei panicked and grabbed her to check her over, "Are you hurt? Let me see, where are you hurt?"
Xie Nanzhi explained, "It wasn't me, it was a friend of mine."
Xibei: "Huh? Your friend? A man?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Xie Nanzhi knew that Xibei was definitely overthinking things. "He's male, but it's definitely not the kind of relationship you're thinking of. He's of use to me."
Oh, so it's about winning people over. Xibei understood. "Wait, I'll go get it for you right now."
Xi Bei went upstairs, while Xie Nanzhi sat downstairs waiting for her.
During this time, Xie Nanzhi received a phone call from Su Mu.
He said he had made a new discovery and asked to meet her.
The two agreed on a meeting place. Xi Bei carried a cardboard box downstairs, and Xie Nanzhi took it and was about to leave.
Xibei hurriedly asked, "So eager? Anyone who didn't know better would think these medicines are for your lover, that you can't wait even a second longer."
Xie Nanzhi complained, "What lover? He's more like a praying mantis. I'm leaving now."
She was anxious, but only because she was anxious to see Su Mu.
When I drove over, Su Mu was already there.
Just like the last time we met, he was wearing a baseball cap, a black mask, and a motorcycle outfit, exuding an air of mystery.
Xie Nanzhi sat down and got straight to the point, "Detective Su, any new discoveries?"
Su Mu looked at Xie Nanzhi and said, "Do you remember what I told you last time? The medical staff who performed your surgery back then are no longer at the original hospital, and they have all left Hong Kong. The surgeon died in a car accident two years ago, the assistant doctor was killed because of a medical dispute, and the nurse who assisted you suffered brain damage from drowning a year ago. Now they don't even recognize their own relatives."
Xie Nanzhi remembers, and she absolutely does not believe that these are all coincidences.
She nodded. "Yes, I remember."
Su Mu held his coffee cup. "I've been to the nursing home and have been volunteering there for a while. I suspect that the nurse with the brain injury is faking it."
Xie Nanzhi's hand tightened, her eyes revealing excitement, "Are you telling the truth?"
Su Mu: "Yes, I'm almost certain now that she's pretending to be stupid. She probably knows that this is the only way for her to save her life."
That's right, the reason Pei Jingchuan let her go was because he felt that this nurse would no longer pose a threat to him.
If Pei Jingchuan knew she was faking it, she wouldn't be alive now.
So the biggest problem facing Xie Nanzhi now is how to get the nurse to admit that she was faking it and be willing to come forward as a witness.
Having learned her lesson from last time, Xie Nanzhi will not act rashly again; at the very least, she cannot personally intervene, otherwise it will arouse Pei Jingchuan's suspicion.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Nanzhi said to Su Mu, "Detective Su, could you please stay at the sanatorium and keep an eye on things for me? Of course, I can offer you extra money."
Su Mu grinned, "As long as the money is there, everything will be fine."
...
After parting ways, Xie Nanzhi drove to Yuecheng.
Along the way, Xie Nanzhi kept thinking of ways to get the nurse to willingly stand up and testify.
She had a preliminary plan in mind, but one part was a bit difficult for her and she might need the man's help.
Yuecheng.
Pei Jingchuan has woken up, but he is very weak and has been running a high fever.
After Mu Lin gave him fever-reducing medicine, he tore open a pack of fever-reducing patches and was about to put them on Wei Chizheng's forehead when he was cruelly refused.
"I won't put up stickers on things that are for children. Take them away."
Mu Lin held up the fever-reducing patch in his hand, trying to dissuade him, "Second Master, this is physical cooling. If we use both methods together, the effect will definitely be better."
Wei Chizheng's face darkened; he wouldn't listen to these words meant to fool a child. "Take it away, don't make me say it a third time."
Seeing that Wei Chizheng's every cell was resisting, Mu Lin gave up. Oh well, it was just an auxiliary function, so he didn't need to use it.
After packing his things, Mu Lin told Wei Chizheng the results of his investigation, "Second Master, we found out. The people sent to hunt you down were indeed arranged by Wei Yongxian."
Wei Yongxian is Old Master Wei's younger brother, though they are more than twenty years apart in age. Old Master Wei's parents died early, and this only younger brother grew up with Old Master Wei. He is about the same age as Old Master Wei's deceased eldest son.
Over the years, Wei Yongxian has cultivated a considerable power base within the group, and for him, Wei Chizheng is the biggest obstacle.
Just last month, Wei Chizheng snatched a piece of land with great potential for appreciation from him. The government's document for developing the new district was issued, and in just half a month, the land's value doubled.
Wei Chizheng sneered, his face filled with murderous intent, "It seems that we have pushed him to the limit this time. He wants to kill me without anyone knowing while I am in Hong Kong."
Wei Yongxian's ulterior motives are obvious to everyone, but Old Master Wei has always turned a blind eye, presumably to leave himself a way out.
With the eldest son gone and Wei Chizheng unlikely to live past thirty, and if the eldest son's illegitimate child, who had been living away from home, could not be found, the enormous group would still have to be handed over to Wei Yongxian.
After a long silence, Wei Chizheng's expression darkened further. "I may not live long, but I don't mind taking someone down with me before I die. Mu Lin, go and make arrangements to send my good uncle a 'return gift'."
Mu Lin felt uneasy when he heard Wei Chizheng say that he wouldn't live much longer.
Only Old Master Wei and a few of Wei Chizheng's confidants know about Wei Chizheng's rare disease, in order to stabilize the group.
Mu Lin frowned, his mood low. "Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."
Mu Lin had just stepped out of his bedroom and hadn't even had a chance to make a phone call when Xie Nanzhi arrived at his door.
Mu Lin was even happier to see Xie Nanzhi than to see his own mother. "Miss Nan, I really didn't expect it to be you. Did you come here specifically to see our Second Master?"
