Chapter 97 Suspect
I looked up at Jiang Ruohe in confusion.
"Shen Xiuting is pregnant and wants an abortion?"
Alas, that's not right. Shen Xiuting is over 50 years old. According to her age, she should not be able to get pregnant. However, there are news reports that there are women who got pregnant at this age.
"Shen Xiuting is not pregnant." Jiang Ruohe looked at me and said.
He said that after discovering the medicine, he called Han Liang, and Han Liang said that during the autopsy, it was not found that Shen Xiuting was pregnant.
"If she's not pregnant, why does she have abortion pills at home?" I muttered to myself.
After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly looked at Jiang Ruohe.
"I forgot, Shen Xiuting isn't pregnant, but Tian Rong is. Could it be that this medicine was bought for Tian Rong?"
This made me even more confused. Now Tian Rong has won Jiang Nianhao's love only because of her pregnancy. In order to marry Tian Rong, Jiang Nianhao also signed the agreement to give up his property. According to Tian Rong's personality, she will definitely protect the baby in her belly.
"We still need to investigate whether Tian Rong took this medicine. Xiaowan, don't be anxious. We will take this matter step by step." Jiang Ruohe pulled my hand.
I hummed and leaned my head on his shoulder.
"Oh right, Mom's awake."
I sat up straight, looked at him apologetically, and said that so many things had happened in the past two days that I had forgotten to tell Jiang Ruohe.
"Well, my mom should know that nothing happened to me, so don't worry."
I was stunned for a moment. Jiang Nianhao said that on the night of the New Year, he secretly sneaked into the intensive care unit to see her and talked to her.
I remember when Wang Yingzhi woke up, I told her about Jiang Ruohe. She was a little sad at first, but then she seemed to think of something and suddenly asked me when I went to see her. I said it was the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day after Jiang Ruohe's death. After that, she had been thinking about something and was not too sad. I think at that time, Wang Yingzhi should have been guessing that Jiang Ruohe was not dead.
I gently hit Jiang Ruohe with my hand.
"You secretly go to see mom during the New Year, so why don't you come to see me?"
"I want to, too, but you live in the Jiang family's old house. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, Xiao Shi and Tian Rong will find out..."
Before Jiang Ruohe finished speaking, I pecked him on the side of the cheek. Jiang Ruohe turned his head to look at me. I looked at him with a smile and put my arm around his neck.
"I just asked casually, I wasn't angry."
Jiang Ruohe kissed my lips and pressed down.
In the afternoon, Han Liang and Yan Yun came over, and Jiang Ruohe gave the box of medicine to Han Liang.
"Abortion pills, how come we police didn't find them when we searched?"
Jiang Ruohe said, "Under the bed."
Han Liang patted Jiang Ruohe on the shoulder.
"You can do it! You can even dig under the bed."
Jiang Ruohe smiled and said that he found something else under the bed, then whispered a few words to Han Liang. This made me curious, so I pulled Jiang Ruohe's hand and asked him what else he found.
"Really want to hear it?"
I nodded and said I wanted to.
Jiang Ruohe put his mouth close to my ear and said something about women's personal use.
My face turned red, and I reached out to push Jiang Ruohe away, secretly cursing him as a hooligan.
Jiang Ruohe smiled grimly and said, "This is what I asked to hear."
Yan Yun took the medicine bottle from Han Liang, thought for a while, and looked up at us.
"Han Liang and I previously believed that the murderer must be someone Shen Xiuting knew. If it was someone else, Shen Xiuting would definitely cry for help and struggle if she sensed danger."
Yan Yun said that he had asked the residents on the floor where Shen Xiuting lived. There were four households on that floor. Two of them had returned home, one was resting at home, and the other, the one opposite Shen Xiuting, was a woman living alone. When the incident happened, she had gone out shopping. When she came back, I had just woken up and was seen by her. She thought I was a murderer.
"If it was a stranger, she would have called for help, or struggled and escaped, but she collapsed in front of Xiaowan who had fainted. It must have been someone she knew."
"Hey, do you think Tian Rong took this medicine? She had a miscarriage right after her mother passed away. It seems like she is using this child to frame Xiao Wan." Han Liang looked at us.
I said, "I don't think it makes sense. She married into the Jiang family because she was pregnant. She just wanted to use the child to tie Jiang Nianhao down, make him love her, and let her live a rich life. She did have the intention to frame me, but she is also a smart woman. She wouldn't sacrifice a child to frame me."
Han Liang looked at me and said it was hard to say.
Han Liang took out a pen and asked me how old Tian Rong was.
"About the same age as me, a few days older than me, 24 years old."
Han Liang looked at Jiang Ruohe again and asked how old Jiang Nianhao was.
"46."
"Can I be her father? Do you believe it is true love? I don't believe it anyway." Han Liang looked at us.
I said that some age-gap relationships are really true love, but between Tian Rong and Jiang Nianhao, I am sure that Tian Rong only married Jiang Nianhao because he is a member of the Jiang family and she thought he was rich.
"That's it. If it's not true love, why does she keep the child?" Han Liang looked at me.
"But Jiang Nianhao is so happy that Tian Rong has this child. He wants to fight for the Jiang family for this child. By then, Tian Rong will also be rich and powerful. How can Tian Rong..."
Before I could finish my words, I suddenly remembered something and carefully recalled the content of my conversation with Shen Xiuting that day. At that time, Shen Xiuting refused to tell me what she and Tian Rong were planning, and she also said that they didn't care about the Jiang family at all.
Didn't they think the Jiang family was their cash cow before? But now that Shen Xiuting could say this, I'm afraid...
I told Han Liang everything I had overheard about the conversation between Shen Xiuting and Tian Rong, as well as what Shen Xiuting had said to me.
Jiang Ruohe said, "There's a possibility that Tian Rong took the abortion pills. Why did she take them? I'm afraid she might have found someone more reliable than my dad."
"So, if Tian Rong really found a better partner, then Shen Xiuting was most likely killed by her."
Han Liang said that it seemed that the police had to pay more attention to Tian Rong.
I still disagree with what Han Liang said. After thinking about it carefully, I don’t think Tian Rong is the murderer of Shen Xiuting, because they are mother and daughter, and they have such a good relationship. Even if Tian Rong is too bad, people are all made of flesh and blood. How could she possibly attack her own mother?
But it’s okay for them to keep an eye on Tian Rong, at least they can see what he has been doing recently.
At this moment, Yan Yun's phone rang. After seeing the caller ID, Yan Yun's eyes curved with smiles. He quickly picked up the phone.
"Xiao Ru."
Han Liang smiled and said to me, "Look how affectionate she is."
Seeing the three of us staring at him intently, Yan Yun blushed and quickly stood up from the sofa and walked aside.
"Well, I'm here with Xiaowan. Don't worry, she's fine. Shen Xiuting's issue hasn't been resolved yet, so it's not appropriate for me to come visit her for now. Okay, I'll tell her. Well, I'll come over later."
Yan Yun hung up the phone and turned to tell me that Yang Ru missed me very much, but knew it was not appropriate for her to come visit me at this moment.
"By the way, you don't have to prepare my portion for dinner. I'll go to her place later."
I hurriedly asked Yan Yun if he was really in a relationship. Yan Yun nodded shyly and said that after he brought Yang Ru back home, his parents were very satisfied. When he left, they gave Yan Yun an ultimatum, asking him to marry Yang Ru, this good girl, home within a year.
When they came back, in the car, Yan Yun finally plucked up the courage to confess his feelings to Yang Ru, and the two of them ended up together.
"You are lucky, you have a girlfriend. I can only eat at Xiaowan's house." Han Liang leaned back on the sofa and looked at the affair with some envy.
Yan Yun looked at Han Liang with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
"There have been many women chasing you over the years, but you are the only one who is willing to date."
Yan Yun's words reminded me of what Han Liang told me yesterday, about the girlfriend who became his enemy. I turned to look at Han Liang again. He was quite handsome.
"Alas." A trace of sadness flashed across Han Liang's eyes.
"What's there to talk about? I'm an undercover police officer. Anyone who talks to me will harm her."
Han Liang urged Yan Yun to go find Yang Ru as soon as possible. He also joked that if they quickly agreed to the marriage, Yan Yun's parents wouldn't worry anymore.
Looking at Yan Yun's back as he left, I also felt that he was playing a game with Yang Ru, but many years later, I think the thing I regret most about Yan Yun is that I brought them together.
I looked at the time, got up, let Han Liang talk to Jiang Ruohe, and went to the kitchen to cook.
I asked Han Liang what he wanted to eat, and Han Liang asked me if I could make pickled fish.
"Yes, my dad used to cook for me whenever he had time."
I smiled at Han Liang and went into the kitchen to make pickled fish, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and mapo tofu with soup.
After dinner, Han Liang sat on the sofa, patted his stomach and looked at me.
"Xiao Wan, Jiang Ruohe is so lucky to marry you."
Jiang Ruohe put his hand on my shoulder, looked at Han Liang with a smile, and said, "Of course."
"From now on, I will love my wife wholeheartedly." He turned and looked at me.
I rolled my eyes at Jiang Ruohe.
"Sassy."
Han Liang looked at Jiang Ruohe.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something."
Han Liang took out a document envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Jiang Ruohe.
"This is information I asked a friend in France to research."
Jiang Ruohe took the file bag and said thank you.
Jiang Ruohe looked at the time and told Han Liang that it was seven o'clock in the evening.
"You can go now."
Han Liang looked up at Jiang Ruohe.
"You're too eager to chase me away. I don't care. I'll sleep here tonight."
Just then, Han Liang's cell phone rang. After he answered the call, his face looked solemn.
"I see."
Han Liang stood up, looked at the two of us, and said that he couldn't sleep here tonight because he had a case to deal with.
When Han Liang was leaving, Jiang Ruohe stopped him and told him to be careful.
After going upstairs with Jiang Ruohe, I was a little curious about the file bag in Jiang Ruohe's hand. Jiang Ruohe looked at me.
"Want to see it?"
I nodded.
"Then tonight, you take the initiative."
With a blushing face, I pushed Jiang Ruohe away and told him to go away.
I stood at the stairs and looked at him. How come I didn't realize that he was such a frivolous person.
When we were together before, he always had a cold expression and spoke harshly. Now that he has become like this, I am really not used to it.
"I don't want to watch it anymore." I said angrily and turned away.
Seeing that I was angry, Jiang Ruohe quickly reached out and grabbed me.
"Okay, honey, I know I was wrong, I just wanted to tease you."
"I just feel like you've become a different person. I have the illusion that I've met a fake Jiang Ruohe."
Jiang Ruohe burst out laughing, kissed me and said that he was absolutely serious.
"At the beginning, I was prejudiced against you. There were so many misunderstandings back then, and you only saw my bad side. But now we're together, you have me in your heart, and I have you in my heart, so of course I have to... hehe."
Actually, Jiang Ruohe like this is pretty good to me, but I’m still a little uncomfortable with it.
Jiang Ruohe handed me the file bag in his hand. I opened the folder, took a look, and looked at Jiang Ruohe in a daze.
"Is this true?"
"It should be."
I couldn't believe it. I looked up and asked Jiang Ruohe why he doubted it.
"Karin came to me before returning to France. She just gave me a subtle hint..."
Thinking of Kailin, after Xiao Shi and I confirmed our relationship, she asked me to leave Xiao Shi several times. When I didn't agree, she chose to return to France before the New Year.
In fact, Kailin is a good woman. In Qingcheng, Jiang Ruohe was kidnapped by Gu Bei. When Xiao Shi wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Jiang Ruohe, she was the one who informed her grandfather first so that her grandfather could be prepared.
Grandpa wanted Jiang Ruohe to suffer a little, knowing how good I was, so he didn't rescue Jiang Ruohe right away. Instead, he let us go through life and death together.
I sighed. I never expected things to turn out like this.
Jiang Ruohe put his arm around me and said that after he had this document, he would come forward to repel Xiao Shi after Xiao Shi threatened Jiang Nianhao on the eighth day of the new year.
"Today is the fifth day of the new year, and there are only two days left. If Xiao Shi knows that you are not dead, he might attack you again. You must be careful." I looked at Jiang Ruohe worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't let him succeed this time."
After taking a shower, I took the initiative to hug Jiang Ruohe and gently stroked his face.
Jiang Ruohe exuded a hormonal scent that made my heart flutter.
"Xiao Wan. Do you want to play with fire?"
I chuckled and put my arm around his shoulders.
"Since you showed me that document, it was naturally my initiative..."
After the passion, I snuggled in Jiang Ruohe's arms.
"Ruohe, are you saying that it was Tian Rong who killed Shen Xiuting? If that's the case, I don't know what to say."
After all, they are biological mother and daughter, so I still find it a bit hard to believe it.
"It's hard to say about this matter."
"Just like my dad, for so many years, we have been like strangers to each other. Since I was a child, I have never seen any care and love in his eyes." A trace of sadness flashed across Jiang Ruohe's eyes.
"When I was little, I felt that my parents' relationship wasn't very good. Especially after hearing about their conflict at my grandfather's, I felt that there was no happiness for them to be together. But my mother always felt that my father had her in his heart. Whenever my father returned to South City and gave her some small gifts, she would be ecstatic. But in my eyes, it seemed that my father was just perfunctory towards my mother and me."
Jiang Ruohe said that when he was ten years old, he knew that Jiang Nianhao had a lover outside. He originally wanted to tell Wang Yingzhi, but he felt that even if he told her, Wang Yingzhi would not divorce.
"I don't mean to say anything bad about my mom. After listening to what my grandfather said about Lan Yan, I think my mom forced Lan Yan and my dad to separate because my dad was rich."
"Even if she knew that my father had a lover, she would not give up her position as the Jiang family's wife. Besides, I don't want to get involved in the affairs between the two great masters. I just want to be myself."
I felt a little distressed looking at Jiang Ruohe. I didn't expect that he had spent his childhood like this. I had only seen his bright and beautiful side before, but didn't notice the sadness and desolation in his heart.
I hugged Jiang Ruohe's waist tightly with my hands and lay in his arms, thinking that Wang Yingzhi had regretted it now. After the matter was resolved, I still wanted to take her in. Then the three of us could live together.
"Xiao Wan."
I nodded.
"You should take good care of yourself these days. Wait a year and we'll have another child. When the Jiang family settles down, I'll take you back and find a peaceful place to live."
"If you take me with you, grandpa will be exhausted." I said with a smile.
"Isn't there still Xiao Shi?"
I asked, "Do you really want to give Jiang's to him?"
"Well, as long as he has the ability, it's fine to give it to him. I have the same idea as grandpa, but I'm a little worried that he's blinded by hatred and wants to destroy the Jiang family. Wait until all the misunderstandings are resolved. Then..."
"He's the one who wants to kill you, and you're still so nice to him?" I looked up at him.
"But my mother and I owe him after all."
Indeed, if Lan Yan and Jiang Nianhao had gotten married, the young master of the Jiang family would definitely be Xiao Shi.
I hummed and lay on him again, muttering that I really needed to take good care of myself and have a baby when I was well again.
When I mentioned children, I thought of the two children I didn't have before. I thought I really need to take good care of my body this time, otherwise, who knows...
I suddenly looked up at Jiang Ruohe.
"Ruohe, what should I do if I think I won't have children?"
I looked at him with some worry. In my heart, I was indeed a little worried. I also knew that children were the key to maintaining a family. If I didn't have a child, no matter how good my relationship with Jiang Ruohe was, I was afraid that it would be...
Jiang Ruohe hurriedly hugged me and told me not to worry about it, saying that he would still love me even if we didn’t have a child.
"Sometimes, I always regret that if I had seen Huang Minwei's true face earlier and protected you earlier, maybe I would have become a father sooner."
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruohe slapped himself twice again. I hugged him tightly and said that we should not talk about the past and should cherish the present.
At night, Jiang Ruohe's cell phone rang suddenly. After Jiang Ruohe answered the phone, he sat up quickly.
I hurriedly asked him what was going on.
"Han Liang was shot. His father didn't want Han Liang's mother to know about it, nor did he want the suspect to know the hospital he was in. He asked Yan Yun to send him to my basement. Oh, I have to call the doctor."
Jiang Ruohe hurriedly called his personal doctor. After hanging up, he told me to go to sleep first while he went downstairs to make arrangements.
Han Liang has encountered such a big thing, I really can't sleep. Let Jiang Ruohe go downstairs to make arrangements first, I have to go downstairs to take a look.
I put on my clothes and went downstairs, just in time to see Yan Yun and Jiang Ruohe carrying the unconscious Han Liang into the house. I hurriedly opened the basement door.
After a while, Jiang Ruohe's personal doctor rushed over.
"I'm counting on you this time. You must save him." Jiang Ruohe said to the doctor.
"Of course, of course."
While the doctor was performing surgery on Han Liang, the three of us stood anxiously in the basement. Jiang Ruohe asked Yan Yun what kind of case had caused Han Liang to be so seriously injured.
"I'm not sure either. I was at Xiaoru's place, and the police station didn't call to say there was a case. When the incident happened, it was Chief Han who called me and asked me to send him to you."
"That's strange. When Han Liang left today, he said he had a case to handle?" I muttered.
After the three of them waited for half an hour, Jiang Ruohe received a call saying that Chief Han had arrived, so he went up to open the door.
After a while, Chief Han came down and asked us what was going on.
"Still in the process of rescue."
Yan Yun asked Han Suo what was going on with Han Liang.
"I get angry just by mentioning it." Han Su glanced at the closed door and angrily said his son was stubborn. For a moment, he really wanted him to die.
Although Han Suo was speaking angrily, we could all clearly see the worry in his eyes. We were all a little confused as to what Han Liang had done to make Han Suo so angry.
Han said that the bullet that shot Han Liang was fired by his ex-high school girlfriend.
Han Liang’s ex-girlfriend was called Yu Meng. She was an excellent student in high school, but she became very rebellious in her senior year due to family changes.
"In the end, she became a drug dealer. We were supposed to arrest her today."
"Chief Han, how come I didn't know there was an operation going on in the institute?" Yan Yun looked confused.
"You and Han Liang are such good friends, and you are someone who can't hide your thoughts. If you reveal the truth in front of Han Liang, this guy likes her so much, he will definitely help her escape."
Fortunately, Chief Han did not tell Yan Yun that he wanted to be secretly arrested by Yu Meng, but unexpectedly, someone still informed Han Liang. When Chief Han was about to catch Yu Meng, Han Liang appeared. Then Yu Meng took out a gun and threatened Chief Han with Han Liang, asking Han to give way.
"At the beginning, I wanted to shoot my useless son. But he is my son after all..." Han Suoshi was angry and anxious.
He said he had no choice but to let Yu Meng go.
"I didn't expect Yu Meng to be such a cruel woman. I had already promised to let her go, but when she was escaping, she shot my son." Thinking of this, Han Suo jumped in anger.
"When that brat wakes up, I will definitely scold him and let him see that it was his selfishness that led to his fate."
Han Suo looked at Yan Yun.
"Your master's wife is a sensitive person. If she knew he was injured, she would probably cry her heart out. And as for Yu Meng, I don't know what will happen to her. If she knew my son was not dead, she would come to find him. So after thinking it over, I decided to send him to Jiang Ruohe."
Another hour passed before the doctor came out and said that the patient was fine, but still in a coma and would probably take some time to wake up.
Yan Yun looked at Han Suo and asked him to go back and rest first.
"I know Han Liang. If we ask him now, he will definitely not say anything. At this point, if you don't go back, Master's wife will start to worry again."
"Then I'll go back. I'll come back to see this brat tomorrow."
An hour later, Han Liang finally woke up. Just as Yan Yun had said, he said nothing and just stared at the ceiling.
Yan Yun looked at Jiang Ruohe and me and asked us to go upstairs and rest first. He would stay here to watch Han Liang and let Jiang Ruohe come down to replace him tomorrow morning.
Jiang Ruohe nodded and pulled me up.
The next morning, I got up early, prepared breakfast, and asked Jiang Ruohe to send it to Yan Yun and Han Liang.
At this moment, my cell phone rang. It was Xiao Shi calling.
