Chapter 96: Pretty Widow 18: The Beautiful Widow Who Kills Her Husband
In the ward, the only sounds were those of medical equipment.
Wu Lan stood in front of Xie Anqin. He thought he was hallucinating and stared at him blankly.
"Doctor Xie, what did you just say?"
Xie Anqin was very patient. He smiled and repeated what he had just said: "Kiss me, and I'll tell you everything."
"Want a kiss?"
It is hard to imagine such words coming out of Xie Anqin's mouth.
Wu Lan blinked blankly, thinking seriously whether it was worth doing this.
At present, it seems that Xie Anqin should know a lot of things. If we can pry open Xie Anqin's mouth, I believe all the doubts can be explained.
It's just a kiss, just a light touch will do, there's no need to stick out your tongue or anything, it should be easy to do.
Moreover, Xie Anqin looks very gentle, not like the kind of man who is fierce and rude to his relatives, so it is unlikely that the kiss would hurt his mouth.
The only thing that bothered Wu Lan was that it was not a good idea to kiss Xie Anqin in front of Shen Yulin.
But he also kissed her to find out the truth. To put it another way, it was for Shen Yulin. Shen Yulin shouldn't be angry...
Thinking of this, Wu Lan glanced at Shen Yulin secretly and found that the man's face had completely darkened. His drooping hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, showing that he was in a state of rage.
Oh, no.
Shen Yulin seemed to be angry, and still very angry...
Wu Lan swallowed fearfully, secretly thinking that Shen Yulin wasn't cut out for great things. Someone truly capable of great things must be able to endure humiliation and bear burdens, and endure what others cannot.
For example, in order to find out the truth, he is willing to sacrifice a relative.
But he also had conditions: he couldn't kiss him hard enough to hurt him, nor could he hold his tongue in his mouth and suck it hard, and he certainly couldn't bite him.
Wu Lan was quietly thinking of the terms in her mind and was about to negotiate with Xie Anqin when the medical equipment behind her made a sharp beeping sound.
Xie Anqin's calm expression changed slightly. He strode towards Shen Yulin lying on the hospital bed, pressed the pager, and asked the nurse to come and help.
"The patient's heart rate is unstable and he has a negative reaction to light. CPR is needed..." Xie Anqin's expression became serious, and his movements were quick and professional.
Looking at the suddenly crowded ward, Wu Lan stood aside, not daring to get close or make a sound to disturb the medical staff.
"Family members please leave first."
Hearing the nurse say this, Wu Lan obediently left the ward. As soon as he walked out, a nurse came up behind him and said to him, "Mrs. Shen, Doctor Xie asked you to go to his office to rest. I'll take you there."
Seeing Wu Lan's worried look, the nurse whispered, "Mr. Shen has had this kind of situation from time to time these days, but Dr. Xie can basically handle it. Don't worry too much."
"plz follow me."
"Uh-huh, thank you for your help."
Wu Lan was waiting in Xie Anqin's office. While waiting, he heard the landline phone on the desk ringing non-stop.
He sat on the sofa with Shen Yulin beside him.
Shen Yulin, in his soul form, still had a grim expression on his face, but he took the initiative to hold Wu Lan's hand, holding their fingers tightly.
Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Wife, you are not allowed to kiss him."
"I used to think he looked like a decent person and was trustworthy, but I never expected him to be a beast in human form, a bastard who was trying to steal someone's girlfriend!"
Shen Yulin murmured softly, and seeing that Wu Lan looked a little unnatural, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Wife?"
Wu Lan shuddered at the low and gloomy voice of "wife". He nodded, looking very obedient.
Seeing this, Shen Yulin's expression finally improved a lot.
About forty minutes later, the office door was opened.
Xie Anqin walked in, and with him came the housekeeper Uncle Chen.
When Wu Lan saw the housekeeper, she was stunned.
"Ma'am, Dr. Xie told me everything."
The housekeeper came in and walked up to Wu Lan, saying apologetically, "It was wrong of me to keep this from you. I'm very sorry."
Wu Lan was confused by the housekeeper's apology.
Just as he was about to ask, the butler told him the truth first.
"It's true that my husband was shot and hospitalized on our wedding day. During the emergency treatment, his heart stopped beating, and I even recorded the time of his death."
The housekeeper recalled, "After I called you, something new happened in the operating room. The man's life was saved, but he remained unconscious and seemed to be asleep."
"There was no other way but to have him stay in the hospital and have his vital signs monitored at all times."
After the words fell, the housekeeper changed the subject: "I wonder if Madam has noticed that someone is secretly dealing with the Shen family."
"Before the gentleman was shot, there had been several accidents, but we didn't take them seriously. That was our fault."
At this point, the housekeeper paused, glanced at Xie Anqin and continued, "Mr. Shen once said that Dr. Xie was a good friend he had known for many years and someone he could trust. Dr. Xie suggested that I conceal the news that Mr. Shen was still alive and create the illusion that he had passed away, in an attempt to find the person behind the attack on the Shen family."
"But unexpectedly, after this, the people in the dark attacked again, this time targeting Master Che and Master Sen. Master Che's car was tampered with, and Master Sen was almost drowned."
"Now, we dare not reveal the news that Mr. is still alive, for fear that someone in the dark will come directly to the hospital and kill him."
I didn't expect that the truth was concealed for this reason.
Wu Lan nodded, not quite understanding. Then he remembered something and asked, "Does anyone know about this?"
"Only Dr. Xie and I knew about it. Even Master Sen and Master Che thought that the master had passed away."
The housekeeper paused and said, "Master Che happened to be hospitalized in this hospital this time. I had a feeling that the matter with Master Che might not be concealed anymore."
"I just didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Wu Lan was embarrassed to say that it was because he had overheard their conversation last time. He evaded the point with a "hmm" and looked at Xie Anqin.
"Doctor Xie, Shen Yu, how is my husband?"
It was the first time that Wu Lan called Shen Yulin "husband" in front of outsiders. A faint blush appeared on her face and she felt a little embarrassed.
Looking at the beautiful lady with rosy cheeks sitting on the sofa, Xie Anqin's eyes darkened and he said, "It's all right now."
"Shen Yulin's heart rate has been unstable in recent days, sometimes high and sometimes low, but it's under control."
He pursed his lips and continued, "Although Shen Yulin looks like he's asleep, he should be able to hear some sounds. I suggest that Madam come and see Shen Yulin from time to time in the future, perhaps you can wake him up."
Hearing this, Wu Lan nodded and said, "I will come here every day from now on."
Wu Lan really hopes that Shen Yulin can wake up. After Shen Yulin wakes up, it means that he has an extra helper who can help him complete Task 1 and find the mastermind behind the harm to the Shen family.
Not only that, the task of 'keeping your husband's property' mentioned in Task 2 can also be completed automatically.
He just asked 2720, and the system said that after Shen Yulin's "resurrection", the ownership of the property returned to Shen Yulin's hands, and he no longer needed to worry about anyone coveting the property.
Seeing that Wu Lan looked like she really hoped Shen Yulin would wake up, the housekeeper was moved. As expected, their wife was beautiful and kind-hearted, and the gentleman had found a good wife.
Unlike the housekeeper, Xie Anqin narrowed his eyes and took in Wu Lan's appearance, feeling an unknown dissatisfaction and a hint of jealousy in his heart.
But he buried the dark thoughts in his heart, and put on a gentle smile without showing it on his face: "Madam, let's exchange contact information. You can contact me anytime if you have anything."
"Yeah, okay."
Wu Lan momentarily forgot the conditions that Xie Anqin had mentioned in the ward. After he got Xie Anqin's contact information, he suddenly heard Shen Yulin snort coldly.
"You call me Madam in every sentence. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are his wife." Shen Yulin glared at Xie Anqin and really wanted to tear off the hypocritical mask on Xie Anqin's face.
The person who knocks on someone's wall is not his good brother.
After the matter was clarified, Wu Lan received a call from Li Yiche, asking him where he had been and whether he had returned home.
Hearing Wu Lan say that she was still in the hospital, Li Yiche quickly asked Wu Lan to go back, saying that something had happened to his brother.
Li Yiche's voice was quite loud, and even though the phone was not on speakerphone, the housekeeper and Xie Anqin heard it.
"Then I'll come over now."
Because Li Yiche was not clear on the phone, and considering the content of the previous conversation, Wu Lan and the others were worried that something had really happened to Li Chensen, so they quickly came to Li Yiche's ward.
Open the door.
Li Yiche was sitting on the hospital bed, while Li Chensen was sitting on a chair beside him. The two were talking about something.
Seeing someone coming in, they looked towards the door at the same time.
Wu Lan saw at a glance that Li Chensen's arm was wrapped with sterile gauze and there were several shallow wounds on his face.
The wound looked like it was scratched by a sharp object or by an animal's claws.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back."
The sharp-eyed Li Yiche saw the housekeeper and Xie Anqin following Wu Lan at a glance, but he didn't think much about it. He thought they just met by chance, so he came over together.
Wu Lan walked hurriedly, panting a few times, and approached the two of them.
Looking at the injuries on Li Chensen's body, he was puzzled: "Brother Chensen, what happened to you?"
Li Chensen was moved when he saw Wu Lan caring about him so much, and said slowly: "I'm fine, I was just scratched by a cat."
"Scratched by a cat?"
Li Chensen hummed, "When I got home today and just got out of the car, a wild cat ran out of the garage and rushed straight towards me."
"That wild cat was quite fierce and tried to scratch my face, but luckily it dodged it."
After saying that, Li Chensen looked at the housekeeper and said, "Two people nearby happened to hear the noise and came over to help get the cat away. I have to thank them later."
He pointed to his arm and said, "The wound on my arm was quite deep. I couldn't drive, so I had to be taken to the hospital for treatment."
The housekeeper asked, "Who brought you here?"
"I think his name is Xiao Chang. The other driver wasn't here, so I asked Xiao Chang to take me there." Li Chensen smiled. "Xiao Chang is very responsible. He asked me to come over here first while he went to get the medicine for me."
The housekeeper nodded and said, "Xiao Changren is indeed a very good and hardworking young man."
Wu Lan understood.
Li Chensen was scratched by a cat and went to the hospital to treat the wound, but no one knew where this wild cat came from, and he shouldn't have a cat at home.
Wu Lan is not the only one who has doubts.
"Master Sen, do you know where that cat came from?"
Li Chensen shook his head. "I'm not sure. The first time I saw that cat, it might have been a stray. But there was one thing that was strange. When the cat came towards me, it seemed a little off, and it kept trying to scratch my face."
"In short, it's very unusual and unexpected."
Hearing this, the butler didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked at Xie Anqin, then looked at Li Chensen and Li Yiche who were both injured, with some guesses in his mind.
"Perhaps this is not an accident."
