Chapter 258 There is no regret medicine in the world
When Li Cuiying heard that her sentence could be reduced, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
But soon, the light in his eyes went out again: "Xia Nan...but she didn't ask me to do it directly..."
She wanted to expose Xia Nan, but she didn't know where to start.
Because Xia Nan had made it clear that she would not give her any bad advice and let her figure it out on her own.
Xu Nuo asked sharply: "Then what did she tell you?"
"She told me two stories..." Li Cuiying's fingers tightly grasped the iron railing, "One is about someone who sprinkled salt into a competitor's well, and the other is about... someone who mixed lime into flour. I felt enlightened at the time..."
"So you came up with the idea of adding nitrite into the duck products? Have you thought about the consequences?" Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows and asked her.
Li Cuiying lowered her head and tears fell to the ground.
How arrogant she was at the beginning, how much she regrets now.
Li Hongying was so angry that she stamped her feet after hearing what she said: "You are so stupid! You don't even know that you are being used as a gun! Tell me about you... why did you get together with her?"
"I... at that time she told me that she hated Xu Nuo just as much as I did..." Li Cuiying sobbed, "She said Xu Nuo was meddling in her affairs and spreading rumors to destroy her happiness... She also said that we both hated the same people. Is this fate?"
Li Hongying wants to curse someone, is it fate?
Damn it!
After hearing this, Xu Nuo understood something.
Xia Nan knew about the conflicts between her and Li Cuiying, so she deliberately suggested that Li Cuiying do something extraordinary to create trouble for her.
Adding "ingredients" to the duck products could not only destroy Bai Qiu Ning, Liao Hong and her business, but also create other troubles for her.
Nitrite poisoning affects not only adults but also children.
Among those patients who were sent here, if one of them almost couldn't be saved, Xia Nan might make a big fuss about it.
She is a reporter. If a reporter without professional ethics and with ulterior motives puts the military hospital at the center of public opinion because of this incident...
What happens next?
No matter what happens, as a pediatric surgeon and one of the participants in the rescue, she will not be able to escape unscathed.
A bold guess is that maybe she will be fired for the sake of the hospital's reputation?
Or some other trouble...
"I see." Xu Nuo had vaguely guessed that the couple wanted to ruin her reputation for no reason and even fabricated the fact that she had accepted bribes.
Li Hongying was really pissed off by her sister. She felt distressed and angry, tears welling up in her eyes. "I really... I really want to crack your head open to see what you are thinking. You actually came up with such a harmful idea for the sake of profit! Now you are in jail, but Xia Nan is fine!"
Li Cuiying regretted it deeply, but it was of no use: "I... I really didn't know it would be like this... I was bewitched and believed her..."
Xu Nuo looked at Li Cuiying crying behind the bars and did not have much sympathy: "So many innocent people have been on the verge of death because of your one thought. You should be thankful that everyone is alive. If there is one death, you are guilty of a great sin!"
Only then did Li Cuiying feel cold sweat running down her back. She regretted and was afraid. Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a regret medicine in the world.
After being released from the detention center, Xu Nuo did not go home but went straight to the hospital.
As soon as I stepped into the department, I ran into Ling Sheng.
"Xu Nuo," Ling Sheng called her, his eyes lingering on her face for a moment, "Come to my office."
In the office, Ling Sheng closed the door, turned around and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Xu Nuo stood beside the desk and curled his lips: "That's it."
Ling Sheng sat down and briefly told Xu Nuo about the results of the past two days.
"We've investigated the matter. The couple did conceal their child's history of drug allergies. And..." He paused, "They adopted the child."
Hearing this, Xu Nuo was slightly stunned: "Huh? Adopt?"
"What's even more outrageous is that," Ling Sheng continued, "they admitted that they were instructed to do this. Someone gave them a sum of money on the way to the hospital and specifically asked them to do this."
Xu Nuo sneered: "To ruin my reputation?"
She felt that this was something Xia Nan could do.
Ling Sheng nodded: "It's a pity that they said they didn't know that person."
"Just for a little money, these two people risked the child's life?" Xu Nuo really couldn't understand this.
Ling Sheng sighed: "In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. Some people will do anything for money."
"Yeah." Xu Nuo nodded slightly, "You are right."
"After the investigation, the couple also expressed that they realized their mistakes and begged you to forgive them. As for the follow-up treatment, it depends on how the hospital handles it."
Xu Nuo smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not."
As for the subsequent processing, it doesn’t matter.
This incident did not have any substantial impact on her. Apart from adding some worries, everything else was fine.
A few days later, the newspaper published a clarification statement to clear the duck poisoning incident, but the business was like fallen leaves in autumn and never recovered.
Bai Qiuning and Liao Hong were worried all day, and Xu Nuo comforted them by saying, "Now that the policy has been relaxed, the market is very broad. When the time is right, we can switch to the catering business."
Bai Qiuning stroked the account book in his hand and sighed, "I still want to try a little longer. After all, I have learned the skill and I am familiar with it. Opening a restaurant requires too much investment... Let's wait and see."
Liao Hong also nodded in agreement, with reluctance and stubbornness in her eyes.
"Okay, you decide." Xu Nuo respected the opinions of both people.
After all, she was the one who took the money but did not do any work. She only gave reminders and suggestions, but the decision still had to be made by the aunt and sister-in-law.
The matter was settled. The days passed quietly like a stream, and in the blink of an eye it was already May.
The locust tree in front of the university building had already grown buds at some point; when I opened the window, the sweet fragrance filled the entire room.
That night, Xu Nuo came back from overtime work, leaned against the window, admiring the snow-white flowers, smelling the refreshing locust fragrance, and letting the night breeze blow through his hair.
How nice it would be if Lu Chen was there to enjoy this intoxicating night view with me?
Thinking of Lu Chen, Xu Nuo's heart sank.
Lu Chen has been gone for more than a month and there has been no news from him.
A few days ago, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she called her father-in-law Lu Huaizheng to ask about Lu Chen's situation.
She didn't know, and neither did Wu Yue and Liao Qing. But as the army commander, her father-in-law should know where Lu Chen was, right?
The voice on the other end was steady and confident: "Don't worry, he's fine, just wait for him to come back."
Xu Nuo's heart was relieved a little, but the longing was like the fragrance of locust trees in the yard, spreading silently in the deep night.
The evening breeze was a little chilly, and Xu Nuo was about to close the window and rest.
The vibration of the engine broke the silence. She looked up and saw a military vehicle slowly coming into her sight.
