Chapter 375 The person behind the scenes turned out to be him!
"I'll stay with my aunt tonight. You can lie down on the bed next to her for a while. You haven't rested all night." Li Beiting stroked the dark circles under her eyes with heartache.
Jiang Yao shook his head, "I'm not tired."
She has a stubborn character and once she makes up her mind about something, she won't change it easily.
Li Beiting did not force her, nor did he leave. He simply moved a chair and stayed beside her to accompany her.
Jiang Yao turned his head to look at him, as if he wanted to say something.
At this moment, he held her hand, interlocking their fingers tightly, "Don't say anything, I'm here."
His words made people feel strangely at peace.
The corners of her lips rose unconsciously, and she quietly guarded her mother with him.
It was almost dawn when sleepiness flooded her head, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep leaning on him.
Li Beiting looked down at the woman in his arms, his eyes gentle and affectionate.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, there were sounds of footsteps outside.
Li Beiting gently leaned her head against the bed, then got up and went out to buy breakfast.
Jiang Yao didn't wake up either.
She slept extremely uneasily in these few hours. Perhaps it was affected by the collapse of the laboratory, but she kept having nightmares.
Countless scenes from the dream echoed in my mind.
Torn diary, English letters, badges...
The details became clearer little by little, her forehead was soaked with cold sweat, but her brain seemed to be about to break through the obstacles and find the truth.
But at this moment, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground was heard.
It suddenly woke her up.
When she looked up, she saw a doctor wearing a mask entering the ward, holding a syringe, and seemed to be about to give Lan Qiuru an injection.
"What are you going to do?" Her mind was still a little confused.
The doctor seemed stunned for a moment, then quickly replied calmly, "I'll give the patient an injection. She'll be almost awake after this shot."
Jiang Yao nodded belatedly, and when he lowered his head, he saw the mud marks on the doctor's leather shoes.
Her pupils shrank slightly.
Just as the needle was about to be inserted into Lan Qiuru's vein, she suddenly reached out and stopped him, her eyes cold and sharp: "Tell me, who sent you here!"
The doctor didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, and subconsciously wanted to run away.
But how could Jiang Yao give him a chance? He immediately stepped forward, twisted his arm, and then kicked him in the knee.
The man fell to his knees with a thud. The sound of broken bones was clearly audible, but he didn't even cry out.
"You're really tough! I want to see who you really are!"
Jiang Yao sneered and then took off the mask on his face.
A strange yet inexplicably familiar face came into view.
This was clearly an unremarkable face, but she must have seen it before, otherwise... it would be impossible for her to feel familiar.
She has always had a good memory, so if she really had seen him, she probably wouldn't forget him too quickly.
Unless, it was a face she had seen a long time ago, or when she was a child...!
This idea flashed through her mind, and she suddenly had an epiphany!
It was as if the Ren and Du meridians were opened, and all the memories that I hadn't been able to remember before became clear.
But at the moment she lost consciousness, the fake doctor quickly broke free from his restraints, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and sprayed it at her.
Jiang Yao realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously held his breath, closed his eyes, and took two steps back.
The fake doctor seized the opportunity and ran away.
“Damn it!”
Jiang Yao hurriedly tried to catch up, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
What if this is a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
What if her mother is in danger if she leaves?
Something almost happened just now. The syringe fell to the ground. There is obviously a problem!
There was no way she was going to risk her mother's life.
So in the end, she didn't chase him anymore.
And it's hard to find it if you blend into the crowd.
But this time it was not completely fruitless.
She pursed her lips and walked back into the ward.
When Li Beiting returned to the ward with breakfast, he saw Jiang Yao's face solemn, his eyes fixed on Lan Qiuru.
His heart tightened, and he hurried forward, "What happened?"
He immediately noticed the syringe on the bedside and quickly guessed, "Has anyone been here?"
Jiang Yao nodded. "Someone almost tried to kill Mom. I'm not sure what's in this syringe. Could you please check it for me later and tell me the answer?"
Although she had already guessed that there would be nothing good in it.
"I'm sorry, I should have stayed. I didn't expect those people to react so quickly and actually chase us here."
Li Beiting's face was solemn, and he planned to continue the investigation.
Jiang Yao suddenly thought of something and said hesitantly, "Actually, just now, when I saw the fake doctor's face, I suddenly thought of many clues."
"What do you mean?" Li Beiting walked over and sat down beside her.
"Do you still remember the badge you found in the secret room in Mom's room?" Jiang Yao's expression was solemn. "I remember that I saw that badge when I was very young."
"When I was little?"
"It's in the Huo family! I found it in a room in my former uncle's house. It seems to be Huo Yishen's father's thing!"
But what puzzled Jiang Yao was why his parents' affairs were related to the Huo family.
Could it be that she was switched as a child and they also knew about it?
When I was a child, I fell into the icy water and almost died. Was it an accident or man-made?
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"The Huo family?"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Jiang Yao turned around in surprise and saw that his mother on the hospital bed had opened her eyes and woke up.
"Mom, you're awake."
She immediately looked delighted, and quickly supported her shoulders to help her stand up, and gave her two sips of warm water.
Lan Qiuru's lips had returned to normal, and the color on her face was also returning, but her voice was still a little hoarse. "Did you mention the Huo family just now?"
"Yes, Mom, you remember the Huo family too?" Jiang Yao asked in surprise.
"No." Lan Qiuru opened her mouth and explained, "Yesterday, I touched an engraving on the wall of the laboratory. At first, I thought it was the characters 'Yu' and 'Jia', but now after you reminded me, I think it should be 'Huo'."
This is now conclusive evidence.
But unfortunately, "the laboratory should have been destroyed."
Jiang Yao felt a little regretful, as if the deeper they dug into the truth of that year, the closer they got, the more danger approached.
He also put Lan Qiuru in danger time and time again.
It was as if there was a pair of clairvoyant eyes behind the other party, always monitoring their every move and always able to find out the truth faster than them.
It's just creepy.
"Don't worry." As if sensing her emotions, Li Beiting gently held her hand. "Now that we have a direction and clues, I can secretly have someone conduct an in-depth investigation. However, aunt, it's best not to delve into it further. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous."
Jiang Yao also looked at his mother with some lingering fear, "Mom——"
"Alright, alright, I know what you're going to say." Lan Qiuru's eyes gradually softened. "From now on, I'll listen to you. I'll always protect myself and won't encounter a situation like today again."
She reassured her daughter again and again.
Jiang Yao's mood improved slightly.
But of course she would not feel at ease, and would hire bodyguards to protect her mother's safety.
