Chapter 245 The Identity of the Mysterious Man
City A in Xingguo.
Time flies.
However, within just a few days, the netizens who had scolded Chen Canghui to the point of being unbearable had changed their attitude after her death.
Reality has proven that “when you die, everyone starts loving you again.”
There was an overwhelming number of people crying and apologizing to her.
But within a few days, it was quickly covered by other hot news.
The once brilliant and talented girl ended up with such a tragic and sad ending.
Jiang Wanning withdrew her gaze from the screen and closed her phone again.
After taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door of the ward where Chen Haishu was sleeping.
Inside the room, Yu Nanxi, who was examining Chen Haishu, turned around and looked at her when she heard the voice: "Sister Wan Ning, you're here."
"Sister Nanxi, how is Elder Chen doing?"
Ever since Chen Haishu heard the news that Chen Canghui had passed away in the hospital last time, he fell into a coma and has not woken up until today.
In addition, it happened to be the First People's Hospital of City A, and since Jiang Wanning and the others were familiar with her, Yu Nanxi took the initiative to take on the responsibility and became Chen Haishu's attending physician.
Hearing this, she pushed her gold-rimmed glasses slightly and shook her head. "We've done all kinds of tests, and the old man is in good health. There's nothing special going on."
"That……"
Why hasn't he woken up yet?
Jiang Wanning didn't finish her words, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
But Yu Nanxi, who was sitting opposite her, seemed to have sensed something and sighed, "The reason he hasn't woken up yet is, to put it simply, because he doesn't want to wake up."
As for why I don’t want to wake up.
Everyone knows the specific reasons.
Jiang Wanning followed Yu Nanxi's gaze and fell on the old man who still had his eyes closed, as if he was unconscious but sleeping peacefully.
The former's voice was still calm, but it was unclear whether it was Jiang Wanning's illusion.
Through the reflection of the gold-rimmed glasses, she always felt that there seemed to be a faint but indelible sadness in Yu Nanxi's eyes.
I think so.
Now that the truth has come to light, even those unrelated people on the Internet are saddened by Chen Canghui's decision to jump off the building to prove his innocence.
Those who have actually come into contact with the two of them must feel even worse.
Even Jiang Wanning felt as if there was a huge rock blocking her heart when she looked at the sleeping old man, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Obviously, it was just a little bit off at the beginning...
For the sake of love, the two old people were swept away by the secular world and wandered around for their whole lives.
When he was in his old age, he finally let go of his original obsession and decided to live in seclusion from the world, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.
It really is...how can one let go.
Jiang Wanning clenched her palms in silence: "Sister Nanxi, you have worked hard during this period."
"If Mr. Chen wakes up, please tell me as soon as possible."
"good."
After getting Yu Nanxi's agreement, Jiang Wanning chatted with her about some family matters.
Seeing that it was getting late, she stood up and said goodbye.
…
After returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Wanning briefly communicated with her eldest brother about the recent situation there, and naturally received a sighing and helpless expression from the other party.
“What a pity…”
The eldest brother also sighed: "Mom and Dad should be quite familiar with Mr. Chen and his family, but they didn't get to see the old lady for the last time."
After Jiang Wanning shook her head, it happened that there were other things waiting for Jiang Wenzhou to deal with at the company headquarters, so the two of them hung up the phone in a hurry.
For a moment, everything around me seemed to return to normal.
Jiang Wanning looked at the many extremely empty rooms in the villa, her eyes flashed as she lowered them, and finally she seemed to make a decision. Without communicating with anyone, she put on her coat and hurried out the door.
…
It's almost the end of April, and the weather is actually getting warmer.
But because there had been heavy rain a few days ago, the humid air outside was still a little cold.
Jiang Wanning took a taxi and finally stopped at a small restaurant on the edge of City A, where she chose a seat by the window and sat down.
"Hello, ma'am."
Jiang Wanning ordered two drinks and a few desserts from the waiter. Not long after, a middle-aged man in a coat and a baseball cap came from behind and knocked on the table in front of her.
There were not many people in the small restaurant. Jiang Wanning looked in the direction of the other party's hoarse voice, and her eyes fell on the empty right sleeve under the middle-aged man's coat with some inquiry.
"Hey, this one."
The man grinned nonchalantly: "In our line of work, we often walk by the river, so it's inevitable that we get our shoes wet."
"But the reward that gentleman gave was so much, so it was worth it."
The middle-aged man said this, took the drink ordered by Jiang Wanning, put it to his mouth and took a sip.
The sweet taste in his mouth made him frown uncomfortably.
This strange feeling made him inexplicably think of the cold and strange man he had met not long ago.
He was also the guy who caused him to lose a hand. He didn't know if that guy was still alive and well because he accidentally offended those big shots.
That’s right, the strange and mysterious middle-aged man in front of Jiang Wanning happened to be the same private detective that You Shiwang had originally arranged to meet.
At that time, the latter helped Shi Wang investigate the Shen family's affairs. He was accidentally discovered by the other party and was caught and warned. He then disappeared for a while and only now resumed his old business.
"Ma'am, please tell me what you want."
The detective interrupted his thoughts and looked up at Jiang Wanning with gloomy eyes in the shadow of the window.
After hearing the other party's explanation, the latter showed an understanding expression. He then took out the documents he had prepared long ago from his bag and handed them to the man: "Mr. Detective, I would like you to help me investigate the person in this photo."
As she said this, Jiang Wanning also reached out and touched the man in the photo who had previously made her feel very strange.
It was the young man with the tree-shaped tattoo and gloomy eyes.
"I want to know who he is and what he is doing now."
"Let me be frank. If it's an inappropriate big shot, you'll have to pay extra..."
"Of course, the remuneration and everything else are negotiable."
Seeing that Jiang Wanning's attitude was really sincere, the middle-aged detective reached out his hand again and took the photo handed to him by Jiang Wanning from the table.
But it would have been better if he hadn't looked. Once he saw who Jiang Wanning was pointing at, his expression changed completely.
The man, who had been casually and lazily, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes widening in disbelief.
The fingertips holding the photo trembled in an instant, and he almost dropped the paper-like thing directly to the ground.
After a while, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face pale and he spoke again: "I can't do this."
