Motorola's mobile phone business was handled by another trading company, and it sold out as soon as it was released.
Without any connections, it's really hard to buy one.
Ji Yang, being in the Ministry of Trade, naturally had the advantage of being close to the source, and he helped Jiang Ning buy one.
In those days, mobile communication was just starting out. Only a few large cities like Beijing had base stations. In other places, even if you had the money to buy a mobile phone, there were no base stations to support communication.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, someone who can hold a mobile phone is a symbol of status and wealth.
With the mobile phone, Jiang Ning's working hours became more flexible and free, and she often issued work instructions over the phone.
She also had more time to visit the market and spend time with her family.
That day, she and Wang Meizhu were inspecting a factory when her mobile phone suddenly rang.
She quickly answered the phone, and Wang Xiufen's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Ningning, something bad has happened! Yang Lu is in trouble! Come to the People's Hospital quickly! Baoliang and the others can't find her, but thankfully they found you."
After hearing this, Jiang Ning quickly put the mobile phone into her bag, said goodbye to Wang Meizhu, and rushed to the hospital.
In the morning, she remembered that Yang Lu suddenly said she wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up. Gao Baoliang happened to be away on a business trip, so Wang Xiufen accompanied her to the hospital.
Could there be a problem with the fetus?
When she arrived at the hospital, she found Wang Xiufen outside the operating room. She was nervously pacing back and forth, clutching the hem of her clothes.
Jiang Ning thought it was Yang Lu inside and was about to speak when Yang Lu, sitting on the bench next to her, started crying and spoke up.
"Ningning, you're here! I was so scared!"
Jiang Ning was stunned. If it wasn't Yang Lu in the operating room, then who was it?
She quickly grasped Yang Lu's outstretched hand, sat down next to her, and put her arm around her to ask what was wrong.
Yang Lu choked up.
"I was walking down the corridor after my checkup when suddenly a huge force pushed my back. I lost my balance and fell forward. As luck would have it, Xue Mei was walking right in front of me, and I knocked her down. Aunt Wang caught me in time. I was fine, but Xue Mei started bleeding immediately after she fell."
The rest of the scenes consist of Xue Mei being wheeled into the operating room for emergency treatment, and Xu's mother causing trouble.
At this moment, Xu's mother was still standing aside, glaring at Yang Lu!
If it weren't for Wang Xiufen protecting her and the doctor watching over her, she probably would have gone so far as to abort Yang Lu's baby.
Listening to this story, Jiang Ning, knowing that Yang Lu was also a victim, asked:
"Mom, did you see who pushed Lulu?"
Wang Xiufen shook her head, "At the time, I was focused on protecting Lulu and didn't have time to look."
Yang Lu also said she didn't see it. The person was behind her and seemed to be wearing a mask. He left immediately after pushing her.
"I saw a figure from behind; it must have been a woman," Yang Lu suddenly remembered.
Jiang Ning felt that this matter was very strange. Was that person targeting Yang Lu or Xue Mei?
Regardless, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed 110 to report the incident to the police.
The police arrived quickly and took a statement from Yang Lu while waiting for Xue Mei's surgery to finish.
After Yang Lu finished, they went to Wang Xiufen and Xu's mother to find out more about the situation.
When asked by the police whether she saw the person who pushed Yang Lu, Xu's mother visibly panicked for a moment, but ultimately shook her head.
"I was busy helping Xue Mei and didn't see her face clearly. She was also wearing a mask."
Police officer: "So, you actually saw her face but didn't recognize her, is that right?"
Mother Xu: "You could say that."
Police officer: "What is your relationship with the patient in the operating room?"
Mrs. Xu was fiddling with her fingers, her eyes darting around.
“She…she is my friend. After I was tricked by my daughter-in-law and kicked out of my home, she took me in and let me stay at her house.”
Police officer: "Why is it so chaotic? Tell me in detail how your daughter-in-law schemed against you?"
Mrs. Xu was breathing rapidly and was extremely flustered, thinking to herself, "Why are they asking me these questions endlessly?"
"Police officer, Xue Mei is clearly the victim, why are you asking me so many questions? I don't want to talk about my own affairs."
The policeman chuckled, "Grandma, you were tricked and kicked out of your home by your daughter-in-law, why didn't you call the police? I'm just trying to help you!"
Xu's mother: "My affairs are none of your business. Now that woman pushed Xue Mei, she must pay the price!"
Police officer: "Okay, given that both of you are pregnant, we will also adhere to the principle of taking care of pregnant women and investigate the matter thoroughly. Please sign here, and we will take further action once Xue Mei wakes up."
With that, the police left one officer at the hospital and the rest of them left.
As for Yang Lu, she can go home first and wait for the police to summon her.
"Okay, here is Yang Lu's address, as well as her home address and my mobile phone number. You can find us anytime."
Jiang Ning wrote down the detailed information for the police.
When the police saw the mobile phone number, their eyes lit up. "Quite powerful."
Seeing that the police had released Yang Lu, Xu's mother was unwilling and reached out to stop them, but the police stopped her.
“They have a landline at home and money to buy a mobile phone. Even if they have to pay compensation, they won’t renege on their debts. Let them go. This is a pregnant woman’s right.”
Xu's mother had no choice but to let them leave.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ning went to the driver's seat to drive, and Wang Xiufen helped Yang Lu into the car.
Just as I was about to start it, my cell phone rang.
It was Gao Baoliang who called.
"Sister-in-law, I missed the phone call from home just now, and when I called back, no one answered. Do you know where Lulu is?"
Jiang Ning: "It's nothing. I was just at the hospital for a check-up. If you're all better off there, buy a ticket and come back tonight."
She didn't dare mention Yang Lu pushing someone, afraid that Gao Baoliang would worry.
Gao Baoliang felt much relieved knowing that Jiang Ning was there, but upon hearing her suggestion to go back early, he immediately went to the station and bought a ticket.
Jiang Ning started the car and took Yang Lu home.
Wang Xiufen frowned and said:
"Have you noticed that Mrs. Xu was speaking haltingly? I feel like she wasn't telling the truth. How could she not recognize that person after meeting him face to face?"
Yang Lu pouted, "I suspect that since she can't find that woman, she's been pestering me, making me pay money, making me pay money, and I'm not willing to accept it."
Jiang Ning comforted her, saying:
"Don't overthink it. The baby in your belly is the most important thing. Even if we prepare for the worst, if Xue Mei loses her baby, it's just a matter of losing money. If it can be solved with money, then it's not a problem."
As for tracking down that woman, the police will handle that. Once they find her, they can transfer the compensation money.
Wang Xiufen thought it made a lot of sense, so she told Yang Lu not to think about it anymore. It was already a blessing that her child hadn't had any accidents. She suggested that Yang Lu stay at home for the time being, in case someone was deliberately targeting her, which would be very dangerous.
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, then parted her lips.
"I'm more inclined to believe that the woman was targeting Xue Mei."
