Chapter 319 The Feeling of Being in Love... [41]
Shen Wangqing lingered with Li Chu for quite a while, and only left reluctantly when Li Chu was about to lose her patience.
Before leaving, he sighed and said to Li Chu, "I really wanted to take you with me."
Li Chu glared at him: "Are you leaving or not?"
Shen Wangqing smiled and said, "I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he kissed Li Chu on the lips again, then stood up and straightened his clothes.
"Okay, I'll come see you again tonight."
Li Chu: "Let's go quickly."
Shen Wangqing left the ward with a smile.
In the now peaceful hospital room, Li Chu thought about the person who had just left, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Being in love... seems pretty good!
Less than half an hour after Shen Wangqing left, the Li family arrived.
Her uncle and aunt came and brought her breakfast prepared by their family chef.
Not long after Li Zhiyun and Zhao Mingxue arrived, Xiao Chenghai also arrived.
Accompanying Xiao Chenghai were his current wife, Ye Lin, and Xiao Zekai, Li Chu's nominal maternal uncle.
Xiao Chenghai and the others also came yesterday. After all, they are people who 'love' their granddaughter, so they naturally rushed over after hearing the news.
However, they didn't stay long before their uncle and his family kicked them out, citing Li Chu's excessive blood loss and need for rest.
They came again this morning, bringing with them soup that Ye Lin had personally prepared at five in the morning.
Ye Lin was not a particularly beautiful woman when she was young; she was just exceptionally gentle and compliant.
Now that she's a bit older, she has a lot of charm.
Li Chu had been staying at the Xiao family's house for the past three years, so she naturally became familiar with Ye Lin and the others.
On the surface, they still maintain a very good relationship.
Upon seeing Ye Lin, Li Chu addressed her as "Grandma Ye."
Xiao Chenghai and his son Xiao Zekai didn't stay at the hospital for long because they had to go to the company; they simply expressed their concern for Li Chu.
Li Zhiyun also had to go to the company, so she left the hospital with Xiao Chenghai and his son.
Zhao Mingxue and Ye Lin stayed behind to keep Li Chu company.
Around 8 a.m., police officers came to take Li Chu's statement.
Actually, if the Li family hadn't stopped them, they would have come to take Li Chu's statement last night.
Li Chu sat leaning back on the hospital bed, while the policeman sat beside it.
A question and an answer.
Police officer: "Ms. Li, could you tell me how you were kidnapped yesterday?"
Li Chu nodded: "I came out of the stray animal rescue station yesterday afternoon, and the driver called me to say that the car had broken down on the road."
"I told him not to worry, I can take a taxi back myself."
"Later, just as I was about to hail a taxi, a van stopped in front of me, the door opened, and three men got out."
"I didn't even get a good look at what they looked like before a handkerchief was placed over my mouth and nose, and I quickly lost consciousness."
Police officer: "When you woke up, did you see those three men?"
Li Chu shook her head: "No, I didn't see them."
"When I woke up, I found my hands were tied behind my back. When I looked up, I saw my cousin, Li Pan'er."
Police: "Since you were tied up, how did you manage to injure Li Pan'er?"
Li Chu picked up the ring from the bedside table—an aquamarine ring.
Because the aquamarine is relatively large, the ring setting is also large.
Li Chu pressed a mechanism, which popped out the blade hidden on the side of the ring holder and showed it to the police.
“Before, because of some things, I thought it would be nice to have something on me to deal with dangerous situations.”
"That's how I cut the ropes that bound me."
Police officer: "Is this the ring that contains the GPS tracking system?"
Li Chu nodded: "Yes."
A look of relief crossed her face: "Luckily I had this, otherwise I can't even imagine what would have happened if you hadn't arrived in time..."
The police agreed with this; they were able to rescue Li Chu so quickly thanks to the ring's location tracking.
The police continued to ask, "Regarding Li Pan'er and the injuries on your body, Li Pan'er said that you stabbed her with a steel bar."
"You first cut the rope, pounced on her and strangled her, then punched her in the temple and knocked her unconscious, then tied her up and stabbed her in multiple places with a steel bar."
“Before we arrived at the scene, you grabbed her hand and stabbed yourself.”
"Do you have anything to explain regarding Li Pan'er's statement?"
Upon hearing the police officer's words, Li Chu's face showed a shocked expression.
"She...she actually said that?"
"How could I!"
“I admit that after I cut the rope, I pounced on her and strangled her, and also hit her temple.”
"I've learned some self-defense techniques, but I'm not particularly strong..."
“I was so anxious at the time because my cousin… Li Pan’er said she was going to let those men outside gang rape me. I was so scared that I just wanted to stop her from calling for help!”
"Later, it was Li Pan'er who picked up the piece of steel bar on the ground and stabbed me. I snatched the steel bar back and injured her in self-defense."
"Officer, I acted in self-defense!"
Li Chu became more and more agitated as she spoke, as if she had been wronged and was very anxious.
Her voice was trembling with tears, her eyes were filled with tears, and her complexion was terrible.
Zhao Mingxue, who had been remaining silent, finally couldn't sit still any longer. She leaned over and hugged Li Chu, saying to the police:
"Officer, Chuchu is the victim. She has said everything she needs to say. Let's end it here for today!"
Zhao Mingxue appears gentle, but she also carries an attitude that brooks no refusal.
After all, she is the future matriarch of the Li family, so she has a very strong presence.
In this case, Li Chu was undoubtedly the victim, and the police had no intention of making things difficult for her.
Seeing Li Chu's reaction, they didn't press him further.
Police officer: "Okay, that's all for today. If there's anything else you need to add, we'll contact you anytime."
Zhao Mingxue: "Okay."
After the police left, Ye Lin came over and comforted Li Chu for a few words.
Ye Lin: "Chu Chu, don't be sad. The person who hurt you will definitely be punished by law!"
Li Chu leaned against Zhao Mingxue's chest and looked up at Ye Lin.
Her emotions have gradually calmed down.
Li Chu: "I know my great-grandmother. Last night, Brother Shen told me that Li Pan'er was capable of kidnapping me, so someone must be helping her behind the scenes."
"The person behind her might also be connected to the person who kidnapped and trafficked my mother back then."
"If this kidnapping can lead to the capture of the person who harmed my mother back then, it will be a blessing in disguise!"
Li Chu's smile was innocent and pure, and her eyes were so clear that she seemed to be completely unaware of the ways of the world.
"Grandma, you must be very happy to hear this news, right? After all, you love my mother so much!"
Ye Lin's smile froze for a brief moment.
But she quickly showed her joy, and even her eyes welled up with tears.
"Of course I'm happy! It would be wonderful if we could really catch the person who hurt your mother!"
