“Her figure and appearance have completely changed, it’s not surprising that you don’t recognize her,” Xu Tingchuan said, putting his arm around Ni Sitian’s shoulder to comfort her.
"How could she be so vicious! She even tried to harm the fetus!" Ni Sitian placed her hand on her stomach, feeling sad, guilty, and still fearful.
It was such a difficult time for her and Xu Tingchuan to have this child; she almost lost him because of her foolishness.
"Let's call the police." Ni Sitian grabbed Xu Tingchuan's hand, biting her lip tightly. She couldn't feel at ease unless this kind of person was taken to the police station.
"I'm afraid the evidence isn't enough." Xu Tingchuan frowned and shook his head. The incident happened two months ago, and Ji Xiaoyun gave the medicine to Ni Sitian at that time. The bottle of medicine was in Ni Sitian's hands for two months. Now that it has reached Jin Rulan, things have gone wrong. Ji Xiaoyun can always turn around and accuse Ni Sitian of drugging Jin Rulan.
"Are we just going to let her go like this?" Ni Sitian was unwilling; this concerned a child's life.
"Let's go take a look." Xu Tingchuan took out the address he got from the counter. The place was a bit remote, so he entered it into the navigation.
Ni Sitian kept her lips tightly pressed together the whole way, thinking about how to properly ask Ji Xiaoyun about it when she saw her later.
What deep-seated grudge could they possibly have that would make her want to harm her child?
What happened at the magazine was clearly her own fault; just how twisted can people's hearts be?
However, Ni Sitian couldn't find the words to ask the question she had been thinking about all the way.
When they arrived at the low, single-story house, they knocked on the door, and a plump middle-aged woman opened it.
When they asked her about Ji Xiaoyun, the middle-aged woman started cursing and swearing: "That unlucky brat, she knew she was sick and still came to rent my house. She died in my house, and now I can't rent out my house anymore!"
Ni Sitian and Xu Tingchuan were taken aback. The landlord glanced at their car and said in a gruff voice, "You two are that brat's friends, right? Pay me back the month's rent she owes me!"
"When did she die? What caused her death?" Ni Sitian asked, frowning.
The landlord stood with his arms crossed, waiting for them to pay him.
Xu Tingchuan took out a few bills from his wallet and gave them to her.
The landlord immediately put on a smile and said while counting the money, "I don't know what illness she had. She gained more than 20 pounds in the three months she lived here, and she was acting crazy all the time. She suddenly fell ill and died at the end of last month. I called the police to handle it."
Ni Sitian was originally filled with anger and wanted to question him, but she didn't expect that the person who caused the harm would die first. Now she didn't know what to say. In short, she felt very complicated.
Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Xu Tingchuan led Ni Sitian out of the low-lying slum in the suburbs.
After getting into the car, Xu Tingchuan called someone he knew at the police station to ask for their help in checking.
After receiving the reply, he looked at Ni Sitian and nodded: "The landlord didn't lie to me, she really did die of illness."
"She's been sick for a long time, and she even wanted to drag someone down with her when she died." Ni Sitian really couldn't understand how there could be such a person in the world. It was just a pity for her mother-in-law's child.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, the person is already dead." Xu Tingchuan squeezed Ni Sitian's hand.
Ni Sitian nodded. There was nothing she could do. When a person dies, everything ends, and even the sins committed remain unpaid.
Xu Tingchuan started the car and drove back to the city. On the way, he received a phone call, a call he had been waiting for.
