Chapter 309 You're not pregnant, are you?
Ji Ying certainly didn't want to be taken away in such a humiliating way.
At this time, Jiang Ran was not present because she had finished get off work.
Ji Ying shouted "Get out!" and immediately backed away.
Shen Mu moved extremely quickly. Knowing that she was unwilling, he immediately jumped forward to grab her.
Ji Ying dodged to the side, but the rope buckle he threw out scratched her cheek, leaving a bloody mark instantly.
"Quickly! Someone is trying to harm the Madam!"
Butler Fei stood at the door and called out urgently.
Upon hearing the commotion, the bodyguards rushed in, but Shen Mu had already grabbed Ji Ying by the neck, pressing the still-dripping rope tightly against her throat.
"Don't move! Otherwise, I can't guarantee Miss Ji's safety!"
He held Ji Ying hostage and retreated step by step toward the door.
The bodyguards, hesitant to act, could only watch helplessly as he roughly dragged the man out the door, shoved him into the waiting car, and drove off.
Butler Fei roared in anger, "Where's the sniper? You just let him take him away like that? Are you even men?"
The bodyguard captain stepped forward and nodded to him. “According to the rules, we can deal with unidentified intruders on the spot. But the people who came are from the Shen family… Sir has always regarded the Shen family as his closest relatives. If we really use guns, it will be difficult to explain afterwards. Moreover, in the capital, if someone dies in Sir’s residence, it will probably put him in the spotlight.”
Butler Fei refuted his words and had no choice but to immediately call Liang Yizhi.
Ji Ying was dragged into the hospital by Shen Mu in an extremely humiliating manner, and was eventually slammed hard onto the cold, hard floor tiles at the entrance of the ward.
Her hands were bound, her hair was disheveled, and the wound on her cheek stood out starkly against her pale skin.
"Who told you to treat her like that! Let go of her!"
Shen Jingxiu came out of the ward in a wheelchair. When he saw his biological daughter in this state, his expression changed drastically, and his gaze was filled with hatred, as if he wanted to strangle Shen Mu.
"I ordered Shen Mu to capture her!"
Madam Shen followed closely behind and walked out of the ward, her attitude firm.
"She beat Ruofu so badly that she suffered uterine bleeding, and she's still unconscious. I asked her to come and ask her something—is there something wrong?"
Shen Jingxiu got angry too.
"If Shen Ruofu howled a couple of times on the phone and said that Ji Ying hit her, you would believe her? If she said she could give you a grandson right now, would you be ready to open the ancestral hall and sue your ancestors right now?"
Her husband had never spoken to her in such a tone before, and Madam Shen was furious.
Just as he was about to question him about why he favored Ji Ying, Liang Yizhi strode over.
Seeing the man's serious face, Ji Ying assumed he was there to criticize her, so she immediately looked away.
Upon seeing the ally, Madam Shen's eyes lit up.
"Yizhi, you've come at the right time, she..."
But when Liang Yizhi approached, he didn't even glance at her. Instead, he grabbed Shen Mu by the collar, pulled him over, and punched him a few times.
Headshots galore!
Shen Mu's jaw was immediately knocked askew, and he couldn't even speak.
Still not satisfied, Liang Yizhi grabbed the other man by the neck and forced him against the railing.
Shen Mu's body was already half suspended in the air.
Madam Shen had never seen Liang Yizhi so irritable, and she was immediately terrified.
It wasn't until she saw him about to throw Shen Mu off the building that she realized what was happening and quickly went forward to grab his arm.
"Yizhi, why are you making things difficult for a servant? Let him go!"
While Liang Yizhi was beating Shen Mu, Jiang Ran quietly stepped forward, untied the ropes binding Ji Ying, and helped her sit down on a chair.
Shen Jingxiu looked at the injuries on her face and felt extremely distressed.
Liang Yizhi's gaze toward Madam Shen was very cold.
"Give me a reason to keep him alive."
“Ji Ying beat Ruo Fu so badly that she suffered uterine bleeding. If she doesn’t take good care of herself, she might not be able to have children in the future! She has suffered so much, so what’s wrong with me punishing Ji Ying a little as a warning?”
"A minor punishment?" Liang Yizhi sneered. "Where's the evidence?"
Just then, Shen Ruofu's weak sobs came from inside the ward, "Mom... I'm in so much pain..."
Madam Shen rushed back to the ward immediately, "Ruofu, you're finally awake!"
The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly.
"Mom, I've already said it has nothing to do with Miss Ji, please don't make things difficult for her... it will put Yizhi in a difficult position." Shen Ruofu pleaded tearfully.
Madam Shen wiped away her tears with heartache, "But I can't just watch you suffer like this! You should be punished for what you did wrong. I'm only not calling the police to arrest her because of Yizhi. She has to come and apologize to you!"
"No, Mom... I just want the Shen family to be harmonious and peaceful, and not for me to cause trouble. After all... I'm just an adopted daughter..."
After saying this, she burst into tears.
This scene would move anyone who saw it.
However, Liang Yizhi threw Shen Mu heavily onto the corridor and said expressionlessly to the person inside, "Now that you're awake, produce evidence of who hit you."
Shen Ruofu never expected that even though she acted so convincingly, he would still press her relentlessly, insisting that she produce evidence.
"I was called there by her without any warning. How could I have had a chance to prepare evidence? Doesn't the mall have CCTV footage?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi's face darkened.
Madam Shen immediately snorted, "Afraid that I would check the surveillance footage, someone deleted all the surveillance footage from the entire mall during that time period. But if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."
Shen Ruofu grabbed Madam Shen's arm and said, "Madam Pang was there at the time, but please don't ask her. Just let this matter pass, please."
Reminded by her, Madam Shen immediately took out her phone.
"You mean Pang Shijun's wife? I have her contact information."
Ji Ying sat on a chair in the corridor, gave a muffled laugh, and said to Jiang Ran, "I'd like to drink some hot water, and while I'm at it, could you call a doctor to come and see if there's any hope for my face?"
Madam Shen thought she was making an excuse to escape, so she rushed out and blocked her way, saying, "The evidence you need will be available soon. Don't make excuses to escape."
As they were talking, the phone was answered.
Madam Pang's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"Hello, Mrs. Pang, I am Mrs. Shen Jingxiu."
Mrs. Pang paused for two seconds on the phone before saying, "Mrs. Shen, is there something you need from me?"
"Yes, my daughter was beaten and suffered uterine bleeding at noon today. She said you were there at the time, and I would like to ask you to be my eyewitness."
“Madam Shen,” Madam Pang’s voice was a little deep, “I don’t know what your daughter is up to. But today I was having dinner with Liang Yizhi’s wife at Quejiangnan and I didn’t see your daughter.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Madam Shen had the speakerphone on, and Madam Pang's voice not only echoed clearly in the corridor, but could also be heard clearly in the ward.
Shen Ruofu never expected that Madam Pang would deny it so vehemently.
Didn't that woman know that she and Pang Shijun were on the same side?
Ji Ying's hand gripping the water glass tightened almost imperceptibly.
Jiang Ran said indifferently, "That's strange. We had lunch at Que Jiangnan, but the ambulance dispatch record shows that Miss Shen was picked up from the Western restaurant across the street. The two restaurants are separated by a courtyard and face each other. How could Miss Shen be able to throw this mud at us so accurately? I wonder what her intentions are?"
Madam Shen simply couldn't believe that Shen Ruofu would lie to him, but she couldn't refute Jiang Ran's words for the time being.
Shen Jingxiu immediately rebuked, "Shen Ruofu, is this the kind of family education my Shen family teaches people to lie? Does my Shen family lack you for food or clothing, that you would resort to such despicable means to scheme against good people!"
“No, no,” Shen Ruofu sat on the hospital bed and quickly explained, “Dad, I… I was confused from being hit at the time, I might have misremembered, maybe… I fell down by myself…”
After saying that, she covered her head with the blanket.
"You misremembered?" Liang Yizhi's voice was icy cold. "You casually said you misremembered, and your mother sent people to my house to disfigure my wife. Today, my wife must give me a satisfactory explanation."
In all these years, Liang Yizhi had never said such harsh words to the Shen family.
Just as Madam Shen was trying to figure out how to reconcile them, Ji Ying took a sip of water and, for some reason, felt like vomiting, so she gagged.
"You..." Madam Shen looked at her tired face, "Could it be that you're pregnant?"
