Chapter 101 You Can’t Take Her Away
I looked at Wu Wang, feeling a little hesitant.
"Uncle Wu, you have to tell me what the conditions are. As long as it's not murder or arson, or anything that harms people, I can agree to it. But if it's the former, I don't think I can agree to it."
In fact, what I am more curious about now is how Wu Wang knew who was the murderer of Shen Xiuting.
Wu Wang glanced at me, thought for a while, and finally took out a crumpled examination report from his pocket and handed it to me. I opened it and looked up at him.
"This should be treatable."
Wu Wang shook his head and said that it was the late stage of liver cancer and it would be useless to spend money on treatment. He didn't have much time left to live, but what he was worried about was Lian Yi.
"I know you're a good girl. If Lian Yi can undergo this heart-warming surgery, I hope you can help her in the future."
I nodded and said no problem.
Just at this moment, Yin Jian rushed over. When he saw Wu Wang, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Wang carefully, and then whispered something in my ear. I turned to look at Yin Jian, and Yin Jian nodded.
Coming back to my senses, I glanced at Wu Wang. He said Lian Yi was still waiting at home, so we should go back and talk.
When I sent him back, Lian Yi looked at me hurriedly. I shook my head, which meant that Wu Wang did not do anything stupid.
I walked up to Lian Yi and told her not to worry, and told her what I had just said to Wu Wang.
Lian Yi was a little happy, but also a little bit unbelieving. I took her hand and told her to rest assured and leave this matter to me.
Let their parents talk for a while first, and Yin Jian pulled me aside.
"What happened to that girl?"
"Heart disease. I have a suitable heart now, but I just need the surgery money."
Yin Jian glanced at me.
"You're paying for this?"
I asked him to keep his voice down.
"So you have one million?" Yin Jian asked me.
I rolled my eyes at him and said that I had no money but my husband had money.
"Wow, you're calling me husband so affectionately... I remember you two didn't have a good relationship before?"
I didn't answer Yin Jian's question, but just looked at the ring on my right ring finger with some joy, then took out my cell phone and called Jiang Ruohe.
I wanted to say some sweet words to him and ask him for one million. In this way, he would definitely agree to it.
"I've already found a cardiologist, and I've also discussed the surgery fees. Tell them to pack up and rush to take them to the hospital."
I was stunned and asked Jiang Ruohe how he knew so much. Even if he asked someone to protect me, it was impossible for him to know so much.
"I won't tell you. Finding a suitable heart is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We'll help in any way we can. The cardiologist said it's best to have surgery as soon as possible."
Although I was very puzzled, I also knew that Lian Yi's matter was more important at the moment. I said thank you, hung up the phone, and hurriedly told Wu Wang to pack up and go to the hospital.
Wu Wang and Lian Yi looked at each other. Lian Yi's eyes were red as she said thank you to me.
"Yin Jian happened to be driving here, so we can go in his car."
After arriving at the hospital Jiang Ruohe mentioned, he asked the doctor to give Lian Yi a comprehensive examination. The doctor said that Lian Yi's current condition required a heart transplant as soon as possible, otherwise she would die of heart failure.
After the nutrient solution was hung on her dress during the day, she was pushed into the operating room at five o'clock in the afternoon. At the door of the operating room, Wu Wang took the initiative to tell me something. He said that he was Shen Xiuting's ex-husband, Tian Wu.
In fact, when Yin Jian saw Wu Wang, he told me about this.
At that time, I didn't have time to ask Yin Jian how he figured it out. Later, when we arrived at the hospital, Yin Jian told me that Wu Wang had a scar on his left hand. This was news he had just learned.
Previously, when Yin Jian was investigating Tian Wu, he asked Tian Wu's friends who had played with him many years ago and left his phone number, asking them to call Yin Jian if they thought of new clues.
Just when Yin Jian rushed over, someone called him and said that he remembered that more than ten years ago when he and Tian Wu were playing together, they got drunk and fought with others. Tian Wu's left hand was cut and there was a long scar.
Looking at Tian Wu now, and thinking of the information I had before, I still can't believe it. He is the person I'm looking for.
In the past, Tian Wu was a man who ate, drank, gambled, and did anything for money, but now he...
I didn't ask him about what happened eight years ago for the time being, but just waited for him to tell me who killed Shen Xiuting.
"It's my daughter, Tian Rong." Tian Wu looked up at me.
Although I had some doubts about Tian Rong, I was still stunned for a moment.
"How can you be sure?" I asked him puzzledly.
Tian Wu said that on the day Shen Xiuting died, he asked her former neighbor about her address.
"When I was waiting for Shen Xiuting in the garden downstairs, I saw you following her. I remembered seeing you in the newspaper and knew you were her stepdaughter. I wanted to wait until you left before going upstairs to look for Shen Xiuting."
Tian Wu said that after waiting for a while, he saw her daughter Shen Xiuting again.
"I don't know what the three of you were doing upstairs, but after waiting for a while, I decided that today wasn't the day to look for Shen Xiuting. Just as I was about to leave, I saw Tian Rong coming down. She was on the phone with someone, saying she'd wire money later or something. She left in a hurry, which made me a little confused. Thinking you were still upstairs, and since you'd been out for quite some time, I went back."
Tian Wu told me that before this, about a year ago, he went to see Shen Xiuting.
"At that time, I wanted to see my daughter, but she scolded me and said she would call the police if I didn't leave..."
This time he went to see Shen Xiuting because of Lian Yi's illness and Tian Wu needed money.
"I heard that Tian Rong married into the Jiang family, and I thought they should have some money, so I came to find Shen Xiuting..."
Tian Wu said that he learned about Shen Xiuting's incident when he was watching the news in the evening. He thought that if he had killed Shen Xiuting at that time, Tian Rong would not have been able to leave, so he felt that it was very likely that Tian Rong killed her.
Tian Wu looked at me with some guilt.
"She is my daughter after all, and I did something stupid in the past that made me not suitable to show up in public. I didn't expect to run into you. To tell you the truth, the eggs I bought at that time were actually broken shells, and the boss sold them to me at a low price."
"You bought me a box of eggs and sent them home for me. I think you're a good girl."
Speaking of this, I feel a little embarrassed. When I saw him a few days ago, I suspected that he was Tian Wu and deliberately tried to get close to him.
"Uncle Tian, I want to ask you something?" I looked at him cautiously.
"Lian Yi is not your daughter, right?"
He looked at me and nodded.
"I want to tell you something else."
"I've been looking for you these days. Because of something that happened eight years ago."
Tian Wu shuddered, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
"It's like this. As you know, Wang Yingzhi is my mother-in-law. Back then, my mother-in-law didn't pay anyone to bully Lan Yan, but when you and the other three were arrested, you said it was my mother-in-law who ordered it. Can you tell me the truth of that year?" I asked him cautiously.
Tian Wu nodded and said that it was indeed not Wang Yingzhi, but he didn't know who it was.
"I didn't take this order. It was from a brother of mine named Haozi."
Tian Wu said Haozi came to him and said he had received a large order worth a lot of money. He also found two of his usual friends to join him.
"I was such a jerk back then. For money, I raped that woman..."
Tian Wu said that what he didn't expect was that they were caught so quickly. It was Haozi who told them that the person who gave the money was called Wang Yingzhi and asked them to answer that way.
"Later, I found out that it was Haozi who wanted to keep the money for himself."
Tian Wu said that Haozi lived in the room next to his. During the day of the fire, he saw a prison guard say that a man was looking for Haozi. Later, Haozi came back and was lost in thought. He didn't take it seriously.
It was not until the middle of the night that he woke up, startled by the pungent smell of burning. Only then did he realize that the detention center was on fire. When he sat up, he saw a pair of hands strangling his neck. The person strangling him was actually Haozi.
Tian Wu didn't want to die at the time. He knew that Haozi had an injury on his waist, so he attacked Haozi's waist with both hands and got rid of Haozi's hands. Unexpectedly, Haozi said sorry and took out a knife. He wanted to kill me, but he said that if I didn't kill him, he would be the one to die.
During the fight between the two, Tian Wu killed Haozi and found a mobile phone in Haozi's pocket. There was a text message in the phone telling Haozi the escape route.
"That's when I realized that Haozi had taken advantage of the fire to strangle the other two brothers to death. He wanted to keep the money of the person behind the incident. The fire was already very big at that time. I hurriedly followed the escape route in Haozi's phone and ran out. A while later, I received another text message. The caller asked if I had escaped and, if so, to go to a place to get the money."
"I was halfway there when I turned back. I felt that if I went to get the money this time, I might never come back. The man who had let Haozi kill the three of us, and then went to get it, must have wanted to kill Haozi."
"But I wanted to get the money, after all, it was not a small amount, so I found a homeless man, gave him some money, and asked him to go to that place to help me get the money. However, the homeless man died."
When saying this, Tian Wu still felt very guilty.
The news had already been reported at that time, and the missing Tian Wu became a wanted person by the police. He also guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes would definitely send someone to look for him after knowing that he was not dead.
He was hiding all the time at that time and was almost killed several times. Later, he thought that with this face, no matter where he hid, they would find him. Tian Wu still wanted to survive, so he made up his mind and scratched his face directly, and then became a beggar. In this way, they would not recognize him for the time being.
Six years ago, Tian Wu met Lian Yi while begging. Because of his face, few people gave him money. Lian Yi, who was also begging, saw him and shared the money he had begged with him.
At that time, when Tian Wu looked at her frail smiling face, it felt like a ray of sunshine illuminating the darkness in his heart.
Lian Yi was only twelve years old at that time. She was also a miserable child. She had a heart disease since childhood and was abandoned.
Before she was ten years old, Lian Yi was exploited by human traffickers. Later, the trafficker was arrested and she was left wandering the streets alone.
When Tian Wu knew about Lian Yi's situation, he felt very distressed. He thought about how he had done so many bad things before, which led to the separation of his wife and children. He thought that no matter what, he would help Lian Yi.
In this way, Tian Wu and Lian Yi became good friends. Later, they treated each other like father and daughter, helping and leaning on each other. Two years later, Tian Wu met a kind plastic surgeon who felt sympathetic towards both Tian Wu and Lian Yi. He performed the surgery on Tian Wu free of charge and also helped Lian Yi find a suitable heart. Until two days ago, he called. He had found a suitable heart, but the surgery would cost a large sum.
Looking at Tian Wu now, he has indeed changed a lot.
"That's all I know about what happened eight years ago."
I nodded and said thank you to him. I was thinking, since someone wanted to use Wang Yingzhi to deal with Lan Yan and make Xiao Shi hate the Jiang family, then the person behind the scenes must be hiding very deeply.
I told Tian Wu that after the surgery was over, I would have someone send him to a safe place to ensure his safety.
Tian Wu shook his head and said no.
"I don't have many days left, and I'm no longer afraid of life and death. Xiaowan, if you want to find the person behind the scenes, I can help you lure those people out." Tian Wu looked at me.
"I've done so many wrong things in the past. Now the only thing I want to do is to atone for my sins while I'm still alive."
I shook my head, disapproving of Tian Wu's risky behavior, and said that I would slowly investigate the matter. I still hoped that he could be at peace with Lian Yi in his last days.
At this time, Yin Jian came up. I stood up and walked to Yin Jian's side. Yin Jian said that he had just asked a doctor, and Tian Wu was already in the late stage of liver cancer. The doctor could only prescribe some painkillers and there was no way to save his life.
I sighed, and at this moment, Jiang Ruohe came over after work and asked me if I had found out what happened. I nodded and played the recorder in my pocket for Jiang Ruohe to listen to.
Jiang Ruohe was a little surprised after hearing this.
"It seems that the person behind this is hiding very deeply. Perhaps he is still spying on the Jiang family."
I nodded and said that I would give this recording to Xiao Shi tomorrow.
I said, "I can't even imagine that it was Tian Rong who killed Shen Xiuting."
Jiang Ruohe said that Tian Wu's confession did not directly prove that Tian Rong killed Shen Xiuting, after all, he did not see it with his own eyes. Moreover, the video surveillance in the building was broken during that period, which was also a rare thing.
Jiang Ruohe said, "Now that I think about it, there must be a computer expert helping Tian Rong."
"I have a way. Let's test Tian Rong first." I looked up at Jiang Ruohe.
"In Tian Rong's eyes, I'm already dead, so I might as well scare her."
Jiang Ruohe looked at me, somewhat disagreed, and said he was worried about my safety.
"I'm not going alone, so it should be fine. But first, help me divert Jiang Nianhao."
Jiang Ruohe thought about it and nodded.
"It just so happens that my dad and Tian Rong are having a conflict. My dad lives in the old Jiang family house, and Tian Rong lives in their previous marital home."
I was stunned for a moment and asked him why Jiang Nianhao and Tian Rong had a conflict.
"You know my dad's behavior. He was having an affair with his new female assistant and was caught by Tian Rong. They had a conflict and he moved out of the Jiang family's old house at noon today."
"My dad protested his innocence, saying he had done nothing wrong to her. He just said a few words of concern to his female assistant because she was sick, but he hadn't committed any physical infidelity."
I thought about it, smiled faintly, and looked up at Jiang Ruohe.
"Before marrying Jiang Nianhao, Tian Rong knew what kind of person your father was. She married him for his money. Now she wants to leave him because he's even slightly flirting with her. I'm afraid, as you said before, she took the abortion pills herself and deliberately looked for an opportunity to harm me."
"I'm afraid she's found someone better than Jiang Nianhao. No wonder the mother and daughter have been secretly discussing something these past few days. And when Shen Xiuting was arguing with me, she said she no longer cared about the Jiang family."
Jiang Ruohe nodded and said that this was what he had guessed before.
He said: "But like you, I didn't expect that the murderer of Shen Xiuting would be Tian Rong. After all, she is my biological mother. Who could do such a thing? It's really..."
I looked at Jiang Ruohe and said that this would scare Tian Rong even more.
Jiang Ruohe said that he would ask someone to keep an eye on Tian Rong first, and then find an opportunity to sneak into Tian Rong's room later to see if he could get anything out of her.
After I discussed with Jiang Ruohe for more than two hours, the door of the operating room opened and the surgeon said that the operation was very successful, but it required close observation for fear of rejection.
After sending Lian Yi to the intensive care unit, I told Tian Wu that I had something to do and left first, and asked Yin Jian to help take care of them. Also, worried about Tian Wu's safety, Jiang Ruohe left two security guards there to guard them.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ruohe called Han Liang and asked him to come over to help. After a while, we met Han Liang, who opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
"Hey, it's such a big deal, why don't you call that kid Yan Yun over here?"
Jiang Ruohe said that Yan Yun is in a relationship now, so it’s better not to ask him for help with anything.
After a while, Jiang Ruohe received a call saying that the person who was following Tian Rong had obtained the spare key to Tian Rong's house.
"It's only ten o'clock now, it's still a bit early, and the best time to scare people is twelve o'clock midnight. Let's go have a midnight snack first. Only after we are full will we have the energy to work." Jiang Ruohe turned his head and looked at us and said.
The three of us went to a restaurant to have a midnight snack. At around eleven o'clock, Han Liang asked someone to bring a white long dress and handed it to me.
"What's this for?" I asked him.
"When pretending to be a ghost, don't they all have long hair and white clothes?"
I thought about it and it made sense. I took off my cotton jacket in the car and put on the white shirt directly. I also applied some foundation on my face to make it look whiter.
After arriving downstairs of the building where Tian Rong lived, the person who was following Tian Rong saw Jiang Ruohe coming and handed the spare key to Jiang Ruohe, saying that he would go upstairs right away as Tian Rong should be asleep.
I took off my shoes and gently opened the door. Jiang Ruohe and Han Liang followed closely and said they would take a video and protect me.
I turned the door and entered Tian Rong's bedroom. Tian Rong was sleeping so peacefully that she didn't even notice me opening the door.
I stood in front of Tian Rong's bed and called her twice in a sad voice. Tian Rong frowned. It happened that she didn't close the window, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making her shiver.
"Tian Rong, I died so tragically. I'm here to seek revenge from you..." I said sadly.
Tian Rong woke up suddenly. She happened to be sleeping on the edge of the bed. When she saw me, her body trembled and she fell down.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. This is the consequence of doing something wrong.
"Yu, Yu Xiaowan, aren't you dead?" She looked at me with some trembling.
"Yes, I am dead, but I died unwillingly. I was wronged, so the King of Hell sent me to find you..." I stretched out my voice a little. As strong winds began to blow outside the window and it was the middle of the night, Tian Rong still believed it.
"You, why are you looking for me? You killed my mother. I didn't even look for you, it's good enough..."
"Tian Rong, I saw Shen Xiuting in the underworld. Shen Xiuting told me that you killed her."
Tian Rong trembled violently.
"You're still trying to lie. I originally wanted to come up here with Shen Xiuting to find you, but Shen Xiuting was being punished in the underworld for killing my father, so the King of Hell asked me to come up here. He told me not to worry. When you went to kill Shen Xiuting, a man in his fifties or sixties saw you. He was downstairs in this building at the time. He was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket..."
Tian Rong's eyes were filled with panic.
"The King of Hell told me to have a dream for him and let the man go to the police station. He said that he saw you that day, Tian Rong. Do you think the police won't arrest you?" I said coldly.
Tian Rong was very scared. She looked at me with some fear, but still felt a little unconvinced. I must not give her the chance to expose me.
"Tian Rong, Shen Xiuting also told me that you took the abortion pills yourself and then wanted to frame me. She also told me that you want to divorce Jiang Nianhao now, that's because..." I didn't say anything else.
"This damn old woman, even in the underworld, can't rest in peace, and she actually told you so much..." Tian Rong's eyes flashed with cruelty, and suddenly she reached under her pillow and took out a fruit knife. She looked at me coldly.
"Yu Xiaowan, I killed her, so what? You've become a ghost now, what can you do to me?"
I was somewhat relieved that she finally admitted it, but she was holding a fruit knife in her hand now, and I was afraid that she would stab me. If she found out that I was not a human being, she would not say anything more. If she then refused to admit it, I would still have no way to deal with her.
"Tian Rong, Tian Rong..." It was actually Shen Xiuting's voice.
When this voice came over, not only Tian Rong, but I was also shocked.
Shen Xiuting kept calling Tian Rong's name. She thought Jiang Ruohe and Han Liang were behind this.
Although Tian Rong was holding a fruit knife, she was trembling and didn't dare to move forward. She looked very scared.
"Who told her to gamble behind my back? I told her not to go, but she actually went behind my back. Even though she didn't lose much, if she keeps doing this for a long time, she'll definitely be just like Chen Xi's parents. She'll definitely hold me back. I finally found my own... How could I possibly let her hold me back?"
"At that time, she wanted to kill you. She also wanted me to help dismember your body." Tian Rong looked up at me.
"So you thought this was a great opportunity, so you stabbed Shen Xiuting unexpectedly, then erased your own fingerprints and framed me?" I looked at her coldly.
Shen Xiuting's voice calling her was still coming to her, and Tian Rong nodded in fear.
Han Liang came in with his cell phone and said, "Okay, now there is enough evidence to prove that Tian Rong killed Shen Xiuting." Jiang Ruohe also came in.
Tian Rong saw Han Liang and Jiang Ruohe, then looked at me.
"You're not dead?"
I nodded and took off the white dress. Jiang Ruohe quickly handed me the cotton jacket.
"Tian Rong, no matter what, Shen Xiuting is your mother. How could you be so cruel?" I turned my head and looked at her.
Han Liang handcuffed Tian Rong directly and planned to take her to the police station. I looked at Tian Rong and thought that the fight between us should be over.
When the three people came out of the bedroom, a man suddenly appeared at the door. It was Shao Han. Seeing Shao Han rushing over, I was very confused.
"You can't take her away," he said.
