Jing Chi took the palm-sized newspaper from Chenchen's hand. The headline read: "Jing family heir is about to get married."
“This is…” Jing Chi knew it must have been his mother who made it.
“Chenchen, this wasn’t written by Uncle Jing himself, it was written by someone else.”
Chenchen tilted her head: "Don't other people need your permission to write about you?"
Jing Chi was speechless.
Yes, even if it was written by his mother, why would he agree to let such a thing be leaked?
"I will definitely give you an explanation for this!"
“No need!” Li Ying said decisively, “Young Master Jing, I think you shouldn’t come here anymore. I believe your mother did this out of necessity. She wants to find you a suitable match.”
"That's not how it is," Jing Chi tried to explain.
A soft voice sounded from behind: "Jing Chi, you're here? Dangdang and I have been looking for you for so long."
"Uncle Jing." Dangdang stepped forward and took Jing Chi's hand, saying, "Grandma said you should take me to school."
Li Ying looked up at Chunxue.
Chunxue smiled brightly: "Li Ying, it's been a long time."
Li Ying was too lazy to deal with this smiling tiger, so she nodded slightly and pulled Chenchen away.
Even though Ye Jingchi has lost his memory, he still feels apologetic and forgiving towards the Ye family.
If that's the case, why should she force herself into their lives and become an unlikable person?
At the hospital, as soon as Li Ying arrived at the main entrance, Ah Hu rushed over and took the food box from her hand, grinning as he said, "Miss Li Ying, is this breakfast for Master Leng? I knew it, you're the only one who cares about our Master Leng!"
Li Ying wanted to say no, but Ah Hu wouldn't listen and ran off with the food box in his arms.
Li Ying was speechless.
That was clearly the porridge I cooked for my older brother.
Helpless, Li Ying could only enter her elder brother's hospital room empty-handed.
Li Pei's sister-in-law, Ya Ru, was feeding him porridge, which his mother had probably cooked and brought to him.
"Yingying is here."
Chenchen ran to Li Pei's bedside and held his hand: "Uncle, you have to get better soon."
"Uncle is fine, he'll get better soon."
Li Pei rubbed Chenchen's forehead and looked at Li Ying: "This time, we owe you a lot, otherwise all of us in this room would have been in trouble."
"Brother, have you offended anyone?" Li Ying asked.
Li Pei sighed: "It's impossible to sit in this position without offending people. But there aren't many people who dare to openly poison others."
"This time, their poisoning was very targeted, as if they didn't want the machinery factory to fall into the hands of the Lu or Jing families."
"The police just came to me to ask about the situation. They also think that's the reason. They haven't caught anyone yet, and we may have to wait to find out the specifics."
Li Ying nodded.
At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and two police officers walked in. They had serious expressions, and one of them asked Li Ying directly, "Are you Comrade Li Ying?"
"It's me, I'm Li Ying."
"Please come with us! Someone suspects you of poisoning the food, trying to kill the Lu and Jing families!" the officer said sternly.
Li Ying found it amusing that such a crime could be pinned on her.
"Officer, I..."
“Come with us. If you have anything to say, go to the police station. Every word you say will be used as evidence in court.”
Li Ying knew that she had no choice but to obediently leave.
"Officers, are you sure you've made a mistake?" Ya Ru hurriedly explained.
"Are you kidding me? We'll find out when we get to the police station."
Knowing that further discussion was pointless, Li Ying said to her brother and sister-in-law, "It's alright, the innocent will clear themselves. I didn't poison them. I'll go with them."
Ya Ru held Chen Chen and watched helplessly as Li Ying was taken away.
Ah Hu came out to deliver the lunchbox and saw Li Ying being taken away by the police. He rushed back to the ward and said, "Master Leng, something bad has happened! Li Ying has been taken away!"
Leng Yan was reading the newspaper when he heard this, and frowned: "What does this have to do with Li Ying?"
"We don't know either."
"Go and find out what's going on," Leng Yan instructed.
"OK."
Ah Hu immediately followed.
Li Ying was interrogated alone at the police station. The most frequent questions she was asked were how she knew everyone was poisoned and how she immediately guessed it was arsenic poisoning.
“Officer, I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with some Western medicine training, so I know a lot about poisoning. At that time, Leng Yan’s subordinate, Ah Hu, came to me and said that everyone had been poisoned, so I rushed over.”
Li Ying recounted the events in detail and looked at the police officer: "You judged that I poisoned you based on this alone?"
"You're a doctor at the clinic, so there must be a lot of this poison in your clinic, right?"
This is a case of "wanting to find fault, one can always find a pretext," an attempt to forcibly pin the crime on her.
"I'm sorry, officer, our clinic doesn't have this kind of poison."
"Li Ying, please cooperate with us, okay?"
Li Ying smiled wryly: "Officer, I was the one who went to save people. You've investigated for so long, and in the end, you only traced it back to me, the one who saved people? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
"Be serious! We have reason to suspect you're retaliating!"
"Revenge? My own brother is in there. Do I need to risk my brother's life to get revenge on them?" Li Ying retorted.
The other party was speechless.
A police officer walked in and whispered a few words in the interrogator's ear. Only then did he become less serious, stand up, and say, "Alright, you're fine now, you can go."
"Leave? Why should I leave? You arrested me for no reason, accusing me of being a murderer without any evidence! The real murderer is still at large, but you arrest me, the one who went to rescue people. I really don't know how the people in your district police station do things!" Li Ying was furious.
"I'll tell you..."
The man pointed at Li Ying, then shook his hand and left.
A short while later, Jing Chi entered the interrogation room.
"You're planning to stay here?"
Li Ying glanced at Jing Chi and said that the reason why these people were suddenly so nice was because the Jing family had arrived.
This area belongs to the Jing family. Even if the Lu family is sidelined, then the frame-up must be related to the Jing family.
It seems that Sang Zhi guessed correctly; the poison was administered by the Jing family. What does it matter if Leng Yan dies?
"I did nothing wrong. They arrested me and released me just like that!"
“They did something wrong, they were in the wrong. Here’s what we’ll do, make them apologize to you!” Jingchi gestured, and an officer went out to pull in the officer who had just interrogated Li Ying.
"Apologize to Comrade Li Ying, and this matter will be over."
The man glanced at Li Ying and could only apologize reluctantly: "I'm sorry, Comrade Li Ying, it was my negligence that caused you trouble!"
"I don't want this apology, I want an apology in the newspaper!"
"Don't go too far!"
Jing Chi's face darkened, and the man had no choice but to abandon his arrogant demeanor and nod: "Fine, I'll publish an apology in the newspaper!"
Li Ying then left the police station to pick up Chenchen from the hospital so as not to worry her parents.
"Miss Li Ying, are you alright? Master Leng was so worried about you!" Ah Hu rushed over, not caring who was present, and said excitedly.
