The military quickly dispatched an investigation team, led by an experienced senior officer surnamed Zhao. Upon arriving at the hospital, Officer Zhao immediately launched a comprehensive and meticulous investigation. The hospital was filled with investigators in military uniforms, creating a serious and tense atmosphere.
Zhu Susu and Gong Moxuan pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but they were inwardly very flustered. Zhu Susu kept telling Gong Moxuan, "You must stay calm and not give anything away. As long as you stick to your guns and don't admit anything, they can't do anything to us." Although Gong Moxuan was scared, he still nodded with a forced smile.
Throughout the investigation, Li Jin remained steadfastly by Gong Moze's side. Looking at him in his hospital bed, she felt a pang of heartache, but this only strengthened her resolve to ensure his safe awakening. Each day, besides administering acupuncture, she would whisper in his ear, recounting their shared memories, hoping to stimulate his consciousness and hasten his recovery.
Chief Zhao's investigation has made initial progress. Through reviewing hospital surveillance footage and questioning medical staff, some suspicious points have been discovered. A nurse recalled seeing a person with a build somewhat resembling Gong Moxuan loitering near the medicine storage area during the period when the medicines were tampered with. However, this clue alone is insufficient to convict him.
Meanwhile, the Gong family was in an uproar over the incident. Upon hearing the news, some of the elders condemned Zhu Susu and her son's actions. The patriarch of the Gong family even flew into a rage at a family meeting: "Zhu Susu and Gong Moxuan, what they did is a disgrace to the Gong family!" Other elders echoed this sentiment, calling for severe punishment of the two to uphold family honor.
Gong Jun, the eldest son of the Gong family, stood to the side, his face blank, looking at Zhu Susu with unfamiliar eyes. Seeing Gong Jun's unfamiliar gaze, Zhu Susu knew that her years-long marriage with him was completely over. She forced herself to stay composed, sobbing as she told the elders of the Gong family, "How could I possibly harm Mo Ze? Someone must have framed me. I treated Mo Ze like my own son." But her performance didn't fool everyone. Gong Mo Ze's cousins were disgusted by her actions and privately discussed how they must uncover the truth and bring justice to Gong Mo Ze and Li Jin.
Gong Moxuan, on the other hand, tried to use his connections to persuade the investigation team to ease their scrutiny of him. He approached an officer in the military with whom his family had some ties, hoping the officer could speak on his behalf. However, this officer, fully aware of the seriousness of the matter, not only refused Gong Moxuan's request but also informed Commander Zhao of the situation.
Upon learning this, Chief Zhao became even more determined to investigate thoroughly. He intensified his investigation, leaving no detail overlooked. Finally, in a blind spot of the hospital's surveillance cameras, they discovered crucial evidence of Gong Moxuan's tampering—a piece of clothing he had left behind. This piece of clothing perfectly matched the material and color of the clothes Gong Moxuan was wearing that day.
With the evidence irrefutable, Commander Zhao immediately ordered Gong Moxuan to be taken into custody. When the soldiers appeared before Gong Moxuan, his face turned deathly pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground. Upon learning of her son's arrest, Zhu Susu went berserk, screaming, "Why are you arresting my son? This is a frame-up!" But faced with the overwhelming evidence, her attempts to defend herself proved futile.
Seeing the disgraceful state of Zhu Susu and her son, the eldest son of the Gong family was heartbroken: "Zhu Susu, I have treated you well all these years, yet you have done such a vicious thing. The Gong family cannot tolerate someone like you!" After saying that, he announced that Zhu Susu and Gong Moxuan would be completely expelled from the Gong family.
Li Jin did not feel relieved upon hearing the news. In her heart, Gong Moze's safety was the most important thing.
