Chapter 845: Xi Jiu's Exposure (Part 2)
A small USB flash drive kept Xi Jiu, Cheng Jinyan and Ruan Munan extremely busy.
On the other side, Ruan Qi was also busy——
"City of Youth" has finished filming and the roadshow promotion has officially begun!
As the plot progresses, the drama sets up more and more suspense and foreshadowing, which makes the audience's hearts hang in the balance, and they ask on Weibo every day who the murderer is.
The discussion and popularity of "City of Youth" has been increasing wave after wave, and several leading actors in the drama have gained countless fans.
The system's Faith Points notification chimed daily, but Ruan Qi no longer had the energy to care. The "City of Youth" crew had been on the road for a week, touring over a dozen cities, and every day was exhausting. Even if Faith Points increased by ten million overnight, it wouldn't stop Ruan Qi from wanting to give up.
I'm so tired, so tired.
Why should she go through this pain.
The little girl was like a dead fish, her limbs limp on the big bed in the hotel.
"Which city is the next stop of the roadshow?" she asked weakly.
Mo Lan, who was packing her luggage, replied, "H City is also the last stop. After H City, we can go home."
After enduring for a week, Ruan Qi finally saw the light of hope. She excitedly fluttered on the bed, indicating that she could continue to have fun.
"Is there any movement from Xu Qingya's side?"
"No." Mo Lan hung the clothes in the closet. "Wen Ran has been monitoring Xu Qingya. She hasn't contacted anyone from Organization X recently, and the chatter she has with the Cheng family is just meaningless nonsense. But a few days ago, it seems this woman had a fight with Cheng Qi."
"Huh?" Ruan Qi sat up after hearing this. "She had a fight with Cheng Qi? Doesn't Xu Qingya always claim to be the most gentle and understanding woman? How dare she quarrel with Cheng Qi?"
Mo Lan shook her head. "I'm not sure. That day, Cheng Qing from the third branch of the Cheng family went to the old house. He seemed to have said something to Xu Qingya. Xu Qingya didn't have her phone with her at the time, so we didn't monitor it. After Cheng Qing left, Xu Qingya and Cheng Qi started arguing. But the place where they were arguing was too far away from the phone, so we couldn't hear clearly."
Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows slightly.
Back when Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu were still in the Cheng family, Xu Qingya always presented herself as a gentle and sweetheart. She secretly harassed Ruan Fengmian, but in front of Cheng Qi, she was a lovely and charming young woman. Cheng Qi, because of Xu Qingya's understanding nature, continued to flirt with her and eventually brought her into the Cheng family.
Xu Qingya was so good at pretending to be gentle, so why did she end up arguing with Cheng Qi? What had touched her sore spot, causing her to fall out of her decades-long feigned charm?
Ruan Qi was a little curious and was about to put on her headphones to listen to Xu Qingya's real-time updates when Wen Ran suddenly called.
"Hello, Brother Wen Ran?"
"Xiao Qi," Wen Ran's gentle voice sounded on the phone, and he brought Ruan Qi an explosive news.
"You asked me to investigate the cases of Shanghu City and Imperial Capital Hospital in August ten years ago, and I've found them. In August ten years ago, Imperial Capital and Shanghu City hospitals admitted a total of fifty-nine critically ill patients with severe head injuries and upper respiratory tract infections. Thirty-two of them were at Imperial Capital Hospital. I've investigated the identities of all thirty-two of them, and Xi Jiu isn't among them. But Shanghu City..."
"What's wrong with going to Shanghai?" Ruan Qi asked anxiously.
Wen Ran: "During that time in Shanghai, we received a total of 27 similar cases, and the identification information of three critically ill patients was abnormal. Xiaoqi, I have sent the information of these three people to your email, please take a look for yourself."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Wen Ran."
Ruan Qi thanked Wen Ran, hung up the phone, and quickly opened her mobile email.
She clicked on the file and the identity information of the three critically ill patients came into view.
Ruan Qi read quickly, and when she saw the information of the third patient, she paused.
There is no photo in the patient's identity information. He was admitted to the hospital on August 16, ten years ago, which was the day after Brother Iceberg was thrown into the river.
The symptoms listed in his medical record were: a severe blow to the head, water choking on the lungs, and respiratory tract infection!
It’s exactly the same as what happened to Brother Iceberg back then!
Ruan Qi's heartbeat gradually accelerated. She took a deep breath, and her cool fingertips slid to the column for the patient's name.
Duan Ran!
Ruan Qi's mind suddenly buzzed.
Duan is the surname of Xi Jiu's mother Duan Wei, and the last character of his father Xi Xiaoran's name is "Ran".
Duan Ran, this name composed of Duan Wei and Xi Xiaoran, must be Xi Jiu!
Ruan Qi suppressed the trembling of his body and quickly slid the information to the case diagnosis column.
The last line of the medical diagnosis seemed to be stained with blood, piercing her eyes fiercely.
[Double lung infection, blood clot in the brain. After a month of treatment, the patient fell into a coma and was initially diagnosed with a vegetative state.]
As a doctor, this was the first time Ruan Qi couldn't understand the diagnosis in the medical record.
What is a vegetative state?
How could her Jiujiu be in a vegetative state?
How could her Jiujiu become a vegetable?!
Ruan Qi couldn't accept it. Her whole body began to tremble violently and she felt dizzy.
Mo Lan, who was packing up not far away, noticed something was wrong in time and rushed over.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you? Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi?!"
Ruan Qi seemed unable to hear Mo Lan's voice, and the diagnosis line on the medical record kept appearing in her dizzy mind.
Seeing that she couldn't regain her consciousness, Mo Lan quickly took out her phone to call a doctor. But at this moment, Ruan Qi, who was dizzy, grabbed her with trembling hands.
"Sister Lan...I'm fine."
The little girl's voice was trembling, and the hand she was holding on Mo Lan was as cold as if she were dead.
Mo Lan was startled by her body temperature and quickly covered her with the quilt.
"Why is your body so cold? Xiaoqi, what happened?"
Ruan Qi wrapped herself in the quilt and said nothing.
Mo Lan covered her with the quilt and turned the air conditioner to 28 degrees. After she finished, Ruan Qi suddenly asked her, "Sister Lan, how long will the roadshow in H City take to end?"
"Half a day," Mo Lan said with a worried look on his face. "What's wrong? How about we skip the roadshow and go home directly?"
Ruan Qi shook his head.
"Sister Lan, please book me a flight to City C Airport. I'll be leaving that afternoon on the roadshow."
City C?
Isn't that in the South?
What is Xiaoqi doing there?
Mo Lan was full of doubts, but when she saw that Ruan Qi was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to speak, she swallowed her doubts and got up to book a ticket.
Ruan Qi wrapped herself in the quilt and lay back on the bed weakly, staring at the ceiling with a dazed look.
Now she could confirm that the Duan Ran mentioned in the medical records was Xi Jiu. However, she still needed to confirm a few things.
