Chapter 196 His Silent Plot

Huo Xingzhou sat down next to her and said softly, "Jiang Yue and Wang Lang were questioned for the second time. A preliminary investigation was conducted last night. Jiang Yue and her bestie were hanging out at the snack street, and Wang Lang's father testified that he was accompanying the patient in the hospital."

Neither of them was present, so they don't know the exact circumstances of the fire.

Qiao Xi spoke hoarsely: "Xu... Yunye is here. Liu Hui... Min said that my clinic... can't continue to operate."

Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened. "I will provide these clues to the police station."

He also tended to do something to the Xu family.

Qiao Xi shut up and sat quietly beside him.

Her pretty face was pale, almost bloodless. Her eyes were full of fatigue and distraction. Huo Xingzhou couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her soft hair. Qiao Xi seemed to be startled and dodged away.

Then she turned and looked at him puzzledly, as if asking what he was doing.

Huo Xingzhou slowly put his hand down, his heart was filled with a subtle pain. On the surface, he was still as dignified and calm as before, as if he was not affected at all.

All the way in silence.

Qiao Xi stared at the scenery passing by outside the car window. She was somewhat thankful that her vocal cords were damaged and she didn't need to find any excuses for her silence. This also made him realize that something was wrong with her mood.

The car stopped in front of the police station.

When Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou walked into the police station, Wang Lang and Jiang Yue were taking statements.

They were just here to cooperate with the investigation, and the police officers were generally easygoing. After all, their initial investigation was that the fire was an accident, which was generally not likely to be overturned.

The police officer saw Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou and said, "Please take a seat. We just need to confirm something with Ms. Qiao."

"Dr. Joe."

"Doctor Qiao, is Grandma Qiao really gone? You..." Jiang Yue said with tears in her eyes, "Don't be too sad."

Qiao Xi looked at her and twitched the corners of her mouth.

Wang Lang said with even more self-blame and sadness: "If only I was in the clinic last night, I shouldn't have..."

Qiao Xi shook her head.

The police officer poured two cups of warm water for Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou, placed them in front of them and said, "Drink some water, we will talk slowly."

Qiao Xi sat in the chair, fiddling her fingers nervously together.

The police officer said: "Based on the information we have so far, we still determine that the fire was caused by the old man's improper use of paper money. The others had no motive to commit the crime. As for the subsequent compensation, you can negotiate on your own."

Wang Lang, who was sitting nearby, lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this conclusion.

"have."

Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Liu Huimin once came to the clinic to threaten my wife, saying that she would shut down her clinic. I suggest you investigate further and see if there is anything abnormal in Liu Huimin's bank statements."

Rich people usually don't do things themselves.

They believe that money makes the world go round.

The police officer's expression became serious: "We will investigate this clue further, please rest assured."

Wang Lang tried hard to steady his breathing.

The person who gave him the money was a man, not Liu Huimin.

It shouldn't be traced back to him, especially since he was in the hospital with his father after surgery yesterday. He just sneaked out for a while while he was sleeping.

His father didn't even know he had been away for a while and told the police he had been with him all night.

Qiao Xi's eyes slowly fell on Wang Lang and said, "Where did you... put the pesticide?"

"I... I wanted to throw it away. But the old lady said it was a waste, so she asked me to put it in her room. She said I could use it when I returned to the countryside, where there are many mosquitoes."

He had calculated that the old lady was frugal and would not waste money, so he said that on purpose in front of her.

Qiao Xi's eyes were focused and serious, and his words sounded flawless.

Maybe she was just overthinking?

She lowered her eyes and curled her fingers into fists. The wound wrapped in gauze became more and more painful under the pressure, and blood even seeped out of the gauze.

"Ms. Qiao, we will continue to investigate this fire. We will also verify the new clues you provide."

They say this, but it's more or less a formality.

Because the cause of the fire was already very clear, in their view, it was just that Qiao Xi was unwilling to accept reality and could not bear the death of her loved ones.

"Yeah, thank you."

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, her throat felt clogged.

"Thank you for your cooperation. I will take you out."

"No."

Huo Xingzhou stood up and protected Qiao Xi, saying, "Jiang Yue, Wang Lang, go together. I asked Lao Chen to arrange a temporary residence for you. Most of the clinic was burned down, and your luggage could not be saved."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Huo." Jiang Yue said shyly.

Wang Lang said hesitantly, "I'll go to the hospital to stay with him. My dad is having surgery right now."

"What kind of surgery did your father have?"

Huo Xingzhou's eyes flickered and he asked.

"He had a heart bypass surgery. His heart has not been in good condition." Wang Lang chatted for a few words and said after walking out of the police station, "Then I'll leave first. Goodbye, Doctor Qiao."

Heart bypass surgery isn't cheap.

Huo Xingzhou looked at the information of Jiang Yue and Wang Lang. Both of them came from poor families. Wang Lang was raised in a single-parent family. He had a very good relationship with his father. However, he dropped out of school early and became an apprentice in a Chinese medicine clinic because of poor conditions.

He curled his index finger slightly, brushed his thumb with it, and said, "Old Chen, call and check Wang Lang's father's bill. If he's in trouble, he can apply for the Xingyue Foundation's major disease relief program."

"Okay, Master."

Old Chen naturally understood what he meant and would not simply think that he was really doing good deeds.

Jiang Yue, on the other hand, had a look of admiration and yearning: "Boss Huo, you are so kind. When the clinic was open, you not only provided us with meals, but also let us enjoy the benefits of Tianyuan Group employees. Now you are also helping Wang Lang."

Old Chen looked at her, what a silly child.

How simple.

"Master, Madam, let me take you home first. I'll go to the hospital later to handle the discharge procedures for Madam. As long as you change the gauze and ointment frequently every day, there will be no scars left for this injury." Old Chen said.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, moistened her throat with difficulty, and said, "I'm going to the hospital... I have something else to do."

…

Outside the Xu family villa.

A white BMW stopped and its windows were slightly lowered.

Xu Guangyao was upset. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and said, "You wasted such a good opportunity last night! You are too disorganized."

He teamed up with Huo Jiancheng to deal with Huo Xingzhou.

It was expected that Huo Xingzhou would not be wary of his biological father, and he was indeed fooled.

As a result, the daughter did not seize the opportunity to make the matter a fait accompli.

"I didn't expect Zhou Yu and Lao Chen to find it so quickly. I..."

Xu Xingluo regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Almost there!
