The nurse spoke directly, which served as a useful stimulus for Peng Yuanyuan.
Slowly raising her head to look at Li Nan, Peng Yuanyuan revealed a rare smile.
In Li Nan's view, this smile, however, has been weathered by time and is filled with bitterness.
Qingyu, a once-popular comic book author and a wealthy heiress who inherited millions, has now fallen on hard times.
"Sister Peng, it's been a long time!"
Li Nan went to the opposite side of Peng Yuanyuan, and they were facing each other across the wall.
"Li Nan, it's been a long time!"
After the usual pleasantries, an awkward silence fell over the ward once again.
"Cough cough!"
Li Nan coughed twice, trying to ease the somber atmosphere.
“Sister Peng, I’m here to see you as a friend today, you don’t need to be so silent.”
"friend?"
Peng Yuanyuan chuckled. Li Nan understood. They had agreed to be friends, but after only a few days of eating together, she had taken her friend to the detention center.
Even Britney Spears and Mrs. Cow didn't undergo such a dramatic transformation back then!
"Sister Peng, I was wrong before. It was my duty, so please understand!"
"Duties? By the way, has Gao Siming come in?"
Li Nan didn't think much of Peng Yuanyuan's rebuttal, assuming that she was still dissatisfied with herself and Gao Siming, who had reported her.
Li Nan had no idea why Peng Yuanyuan would ask why Gao Siming, as a normal person, would come here.
Li Nan changed the subject with a silly laugh, "Sister Peng, you don't seem to drink tea, do you?"
"It seems we can't drink tea here? Does that mean you brought me tea leaves?"
Li Nan was a little embarrassed, as she had come in a hurry and had indeed come empty-handed.
"Sister Peng, hehe, next time, next time I'll definitely bring you some good Icelandic food!"
Peng Yuanyuan seemed to be in a good mood today, and she talked quite a bit, but under the influence of the tranquilizer, her tone sounded unusually flat.
"Gao Siming's tea is poisonous. Drinking it will cause you to go insane and be controlled by him!"
"Besides, didn't your brother Gao tell you that I'm allergic to caffeine and can't drink tea or coffee?"
"Oh? Sister Peng, I really didn't know that! I've never heard Brother Gao mention it. I'll bring you milk next time then; you shouldn't be lactose intolerant, right?"
Peng Yuanyuan just smiled and didn't reply.
Li Nan continued, "Sister Peng, we received intelligence today that we might have really wronged you."
"What? You've found a new scapegoat?"
"Hehe, no, no, actually I've always felt that Sister Peng was framed!"
"Yes, I've said it before, it was all Gao Siming's doing!"
Well, it seems Peng Yuanyuan won't be able to get past Gao Siming.
Li Nan was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, and the two fell into an eerie silence once again.
"By the way, Sister Peng, have you ever learned to cook?"
Li Nan then recalled an awkward topic.
"Was the braised pork trotters with soybeans delicious that day? It was my sister's first time cooking."
"Mmm, delicious, delicious!"
Before leaving, Li Nan quietly told Peng Yuanyuan, "Sister Peng, I know you must have been framed. Believe me, I will prove your innocence and get you out of here!"
Upon hearing this, Peng Yuanyuan's facial expression became noticeably more varied.
After leaving the hospital, Li Nan became even more certain of her judgment!
Peng Yuanyuan was probably wronged!
But who is the culprit behind it all?
Gao Siming?
Don't be ridiculous, that's the first one to be ruled out!
Blood Rose?
Is he just being nosy? Peng Yuanyuan is already in prison and in a mental hospital. If Blood Rose did it, why would he need to release a video to explain?
That's completely unnecessary!
So, who exactly is this person?
...
Upon returning to Anding Division, Li Nan, who was initially feeling dejected, received good news from Xiao Wang!
"Scientist, we've made a discovery, a major discovery! There is indeed a connection between Shushuling Company and Li Zhipeng!"
Kan Xingguo's wife is named Fu Chunping. Li Nan already knew this during the soybean case.
However, it wasn't until Xiao Wang reported the new developments that Li Nan learned that there was another woman named Fu Chunli involved in these two cases.
Without any surprise, this Fu Chunli is Fu Chunping's younger sister!
Moreover, Fu Chunli is Li Zhipeng's ex-wife, and they have been divorced for many years.
That's why Li Nan and his team hadn't paid attention to this clue before.
Now, Xiao Wang has revealed the secret: the dignified Director Li of the Commerce and Trade Department is none other than Kan Xingguo, the former brother-in-law of the technical director of Shushuling!
The case is solved!
Why is Shushuling Company so clean?
The annual research funding of tens of millions of yuan has also been secured!
Upon further investigation, Xiao Wang discovered that the four survivors of the ice storage case were not innocent people either!
The four people were not only Li Zhipeng's relatives, but they had also worked together at the School of Economics and Trade in Sakura City!
Li Zhipeng was a teacher in the Economics and Trade Department of Sakura University at the time!
Blood Rose, truly the enforcer of the night!
It seems that An Dingsi's thinking was too narrow before; he should broaden the scope of his suspicions about Blood Rose!
However, Li Nan was in a dilemma again. He had an idea, but where was the direction?
Even with Ma Jie's titanium alloy eyes, in the vast sea of people, with millions of residents in the city of Tanhua, where exactly is Blood Rose hiding?
The An Ding Si was completely helpless with just one blind spot in the surveillance at the Tan Hua Shopping Mall, and they were running around in circles. Now that they've expanded the scope of their suspicions, it's going to be even more difficult!
As fate would have it, just when Li Nan and the others were at their wits' end, a few days later, on Friday, September 20th, a piece of bad news arrived, bringing them a new direction!
Peng Yuanyuan is dead!
