“You’re right.” Zhan Jingting’s eyes darkened slightly. “Anyone with that ability could easily kill Wanwan without going through all this trouble. So the person behind it all knows everything. They know that the person with me that night was Wanwan, and that Wanwan is carrying my child. The midwife was bribed, and after Eleven gave birth, she was handed over to Wen Ru, making Wen Xue believe that it was her and my child.”
"So, if there is another child, if the child is still alive, I don't need to look for him. As long as that person has his own agenda, the child will be used as a tool to blackmail me sooner or later!"
Jiang Dong frowned. "Master Zhan, if that's the case, it means a huge net is being cast towards you."
"It's not just being cast towards me; this vast net has been woven for me for a long time." A cold glint flashed in Zhan Jingting's eyes. "I'd like to see what kind of demons and monsters are hiding so deeply behind this..."
"Young Master," Aunt Zheng reported as she approached, "Mr. Lin Mo has arrived. He's here to conduct a routine check-up for the young mistress."
"Let him in."
"yes."
When Lin Mo arrived at the room, Zhan Jingting was already there.
He smiled faintly, "Do you have to be there watching me every single time? Are you afraid I'll hurt Wanwan?"
Zhan Jingting remained noncommittal, saying, "You've already hurt me once."
Lin Mo stepped forward. "That was out of necessity."
Zhan Jingting chuckled softly, "What a convenient excuse..."
"Zhan Jingting, let me tell you the truth as Wanwan's friend: do you really think you've protected Wanwan?" Lin Mo looked at him. "It seems that since she met you, she's only experienced bad things, hasn't she? Things that are too heavy for her to bear, aren't they?"
Zhan Jingting said coldly, "Whether she can bear it or not, she is my wife, Zhan Jingting's wife, and she belongs to me alone from beginning to end."
“You don’t need to talk to me like that.” Lin Mo took out his stethoscope and examined Qiao Wanwan. “I have no other thoughts about Wanwan. I just hope she can wake up soon. This is the best age of her life. She shouldn’t be lying in bed like this.”
Zhan Jingting remained silent.
After quietly examining Qiao Wanwan, Lin Mo said, "Everything is normal... But it's ridiculous, lying like this is hardly normal."
Zhan Jingting's voice turned cold. "Have you said enough? Do I need you to remind me?"
Lin Mo suppressed his anger and said, "Zhan Jingting, as I said, I have no ill intentions. Our goals are the same now, and we all hope that Wanwan will wake up safely."
"If it weren't for Yu Hui's sake, do you think you would have stepped into Wutong Bay and stood here talking to me?" Zhan Jingting said coldly. "Lin Mo, at most, our relationship was based on a transaction. Now, regardless of whether your goals align with mine, I cannot trust you."
"I've never really cared about your trust," Lin Mo said calmly. "I heard that you and Wanwan have another child besides Eleven, is that right?"
"Even you know about this, so it seems the news has already spread."
"I won't lie to you, Professor Yu overheard this before and told me." Lin Mo added, "Don't blame Professor Yu for being nosy. He told me he didn't mean any harm, he just remarked that you and Wanwan have had a tough time."
"And you should thank him. He asked me to inquire about Wanwan. I actually used my connections and found out something."
"The Meng family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. On the surface, they only sell medicine, but they also practice medicine. It's just that they are not very well-known. It is said that about four years ago, the Meng family took in an infant who was on the verge of death. The infant was raised in the Meng family for three months before his life was saved. The infant's age was exactly eleven."
"As far as I know, Eleven has always been by Wen Xue's side and has never left, so that child cannot be Eleven. It is very likely that it is another child of yours and Wanwan."
“I have already asked the Meng family, and it is true. I took the photos from the 11th to verify it, and they said it looks very similar.”
Zhan Jingting frowned. "What about the child?"
"I was picked up by the people who were sent for treatment. Fortunately, the Meng family always asks for the identity of patients before accepting them, and they found a name for me."
Who is it?
Jiang Cheng.
"Jiang Cheng?" Zhan Jingting's brows furrowed even more. "The Jiang Cheng you're talking about, is it the Jiang Cheng I'm guessing?"
“Yes.” Lin Mo nodded. “Jiang Cheng is a very common name, but I found out that the person who sent the child to the Meng family is Jiang Dong’s father, Jiang Cheng.”
“Impossible,” Zhan Jingting said. “Jiang Dong’s father, Jiang Cheng, has been dead for more than ten years. It can’t be him.”
"As I said, the Meng family needed to verify the identity of the person they were rescuing, and that person was indeed Jiang Cheng."
“How could a dead person come back to life?” Zhan Jingting said. “First, the money in my second uncle’s account was moving, then Jiang Cheng came back to life and took a child who looked a lot like Eleven to treat him. It’s all related to the Meng family. It seems that the Meng family is quite interesting.”
“You might really have to go to the Meng family.” Lin Mo looked at Qiao Wanwan lying on the bed. “I asked around. Although the Meng family isn’t very famous for medicine, they are very knowledgeable about vegetative patients. It’s said that the Meng family has a miraculous medicine passed down through generations that can bring the dead back to life. I asked them, and they said it was just a rumor and that there was no such thing. But I think there’s no smoke without fire, so this might not be false.”
“The Ghost Hand Doctor is currently suffering from amnesia and is completely unable to treat Wanwan. I think regardless of whether this rumor is true or false, you should try your luck. To put it bluntly, Wanwan's current situation is a matter of life and death; we must seize every possibility for her.”
Zhan Jingting responded calmly, "I understand."
Lin Mo didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
He had barely left when Ruan Wanyi walked in. "Jingting, is what Lin Mo said true?"
Zhan Jingting glanced at her, "What kind of behavior is it for a lady of the Zhan family to eavesdrop?"
“This is my home. I listened openly and honestly, but I didn’t come in to disturb you,” Ruan Wanyi said. “Jingting, Lin Mo is right. Whether it’s true or not, we should go and ask Wanwan about it, and also find out about Jiang Cheng and the child.”
"Jiang Cheng is dead."
“I know Jiang Cheng is dead, but Lin Mo said so confidently that he would find out the truth, and it’s not about Jiang Cheng, it’s about the child.”
"Let me think about it."
Ruan Wanyi said anxiously, "What's there to think about? Let's go and ask around. If there's a medicine that can wake Wanwan up, we'll pay whatever it costs. If not, we'll come back. There's nothing to lose."
“Since it’s a request for medicine, I must visit them in person. The Meng family is in Suzhou, and I can’t leave Wanwan. If I take her there, it will be a long and tiring journey, and I’m worried that her body won’t be able to handle it.”
Ruan Wanyi: "..."
"The plane can get you back in a day, so why take Wanwan with you?"
Zhan Jingting looked at her and said seriously, "I said, I can't leave Wanwan, not even for a day!"
