Ruan Chen sighed softly.
Ruan Zhengde wouldn't be so foolish; it seems this was another bad idea that Yu Wanqing came up with on her own.
That's perfect, it saves her trouble later.
When the city bureau officers surrounded the warehouse, Ruan Chen was fast asleep.
After all, I was woken up by Yu Wanqing just as dawn broke today.
The police kicked open the chained door, and outside Yu Wanqing was still stubbornly insisting that she had just come to check on her family's warehouse.
Xu Xiaolan found Ruan Chen with a flashlight, grabbed her, and dragged her out the door with a gloomy face. She looked at Yu Wanqing, who was being held captive, and said, "Do you understand that this is illegal detention?"
Yu Wanqing was still being stubborn, "Is it wrong for me to discipline my own child on behalf of her father? What right do you have to interfere?"
Municipal Bureau.
Ruan Chen looked listless, as if she hadn't slept enough, leaning against the window and looking down at her phone—there was a biology practical competition at the end of the year with prize money.
She's torn; she needs a place for hands-on practice, at least a P2 lab, and the finals are overseas.
Xu Xiaolan called her twice before she came to her senses.
"Sister Xiaolan?"
"Your dad has already received the news and is coming here."
Yu Wanqing's eyes immediately lit up, and she tried to get up to look down the corridor, but the police officer guarding her pressed her back down.
"Sister Xiaolan, could you please bring Ruan Yunhan along? We can resolve this together," Ruan Chen said casually.
"Let me ask for instructions."
Xu Xiaolan went out and made a phone call to the deputy director. Although it was not in accordance with regulations, Tao Ran had already indicated that he would entrust the entire matter to Ruan Chen to handle—as long as she insisted on pursuing the matter, Ruan Yunhan would face imprisonment.
But if Ruan Chen wants to let her go, Tao Ran is willing to accept it.
Moreover, Deputy Director Lü was also worried that things might not go well, so Ruan Chen turned to Duan Jingfu and complained – with Duan Jingfu's connections as a top scientific researcher, he could easily ruin his career.
Ruan Zhengde arrived just before Ruan Yunhan was brought in.
When Ruan Yunhan saw Ruan Chen, her face immediately contorted, and she lunged at her, shouting, "You're the one who ruined me! You did it on purpose! You conspired with Tao Ran, didn't you!"
Ruan Chen simply sat by the window looking at her phone, completely absorbed.
Only after Ruan Yunhan, who had been restrained by the police, finished shouting did she turn off her phone screen and impatiently look up, "Have you shouted enough? If not, continue."
Unexpectedly, Ruan Yunhan wasn't satisfied and started again.
"Ruan Chen, don't forget I'm a student in the First Affiliated Hospital's Rising Star Class! Do you think the teachers at the First Affiliated Hospital will let you get away with this?!"
Ruan Chen rubbed her ears, which were still dazed from the shock, and held up her slender white fingers. "First, if the First Affiliated Hospital knew what you did, they would only expel you, not cover it up. Second, if I remember correctly, I gave you your spot. Do you think I have the ability to get it back? Third, Ruan Yunhan, you are an adult now—you can go to jail."
Xu Xiaolan only found out today that Ruan Chen had also been noticed by the First Affiliated Hospital.
A genius who will one day rise to the top in China, yet the Ruan family doesn't cherish him like a treasure, but instead suppresses him at every turn?
Ruan Yunhan screamed hysterically, "Ruan Chen, how dare you threaten me in front of Dad! I'll have my brother kill you!"
Xu Xiaolan's face darkened, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Ruan Yunhan, are you threatening the personal safety of the person involved?!"
Ruan Chen gave a cold laugh, "Didn't you ruin your brother with your own hands?"
She looked at Yu Wanqing and said, "Auntie, what use is a daughter like this to you? Why not let her serve more than ten years in prison and let the country help you reform her? Otherwise, the Ruan family will be ruined by her sooner or later."
Xu Xiaolan corrected, "If Mr. Tao Ran insists on charging him with murder, he will most likely be sentenced to life imprisonment."
Yu Wanqing clutched her chest and cried out in alarm.
Fortunately, there was still one calm person present. Ruan Zhengde asked directly, "Ruan Chen, what do you want? As long as Dad can provide it!"
He only just learned that the person Ruan Yunhan poisoned was actually the movie star Tao Ran. He knew a little about Tao Ran's background; on the surface, he was in the entertainment industry, but it was said that Tao Ran's background was not simple either.
Today, he used the Ruan family's connections to put pressure on Tao Ran, but the other party didn't care at all.
Now, our only hope rests on Ruan Chen.
"I want all the shares of the Ruan Group under your name. Can you give them to me? Will you?"
Ruan Zhengde remained silent.
"Then you'll leave with nothing and divorce my mother. Can you do that? Do you agree?"
Suppressing his anger, Ruan Zhengde said, "Chenchen, choose another one. How about Dad lets your sister Yunhan and Aunt Wanqing go abroad and never let them come back!"
Ruan Yunhan panicked. Didn't this mean that everything in the Ruan family would have nothing to do with her anymore?
"No, Dad..."
"Shut up!" Ruan Zhengde's forehead veins bulged. If it weren't for the fact that Ruan Yunhan was the only one in the family who was on his side, he wouldn't have bothered with this useless and troublesome daughter at all!
She ruined everything!
Ruan Chen's clear black and white eyes were fixed on Ruan Zhengde as she quietly asked, "Is it a promise?"
"Yes, Dad keeps his word!"
The room fell silent, and three pairs of eyes stared intently at Ruan Chen, waiting for her to say "okay".
She just smiled, an infinite loneliness in her eyes, a fleeting sadness followed by a chilling indifference, her voice as cold as the freezing cold of Meizhou in the twelfth lunar month—"You made the same promise to her back then, but she died without ever seeing you come back."
Ruan Chen suddenly felt incredibly tired.
She wanted to find a secluded place...to have a good cry.
"That's it, I won't settle." She stood up and walked towards the door, her back view radiating loneliness. "And as for Ms. Yu Wanqing's illegal detention, I will have a lawyer come and talk to you."
After she said those words, Ruan Zhengde also fell silent.
Seeing that even her only support had given up on fighting for her, Ruan Yunhan completely broke down.
"Mom, please beg Dad! Mom!"
"No, it was you who made me poison him! It was you who gave me the idea! You even said that you used this trick to keep Dad in check back then! You were the one who found the medicine for me! Why should I go to jail! Yu Wanqing, you're the one who should be in jail! You've ruined my life!"
Ruan Chen stopped, smiled with her eyes downcast, and turned her head to watch the increasingly exciting show.
Human nature is truly the most unpredictable thing in the world.
Yu Wanqing was stunned. She never expected that her carefully nurtured daughter would actually target her!
Ruan Chen's words struck her like a bolt of lightning—"Why would you still want a daughter like this?"
"Yunhan..."
Ruan Yunhan realized that she had gone too far in her words to Yu Wanqing, and she suddenly knelt down, her face covered in tears, pleading with her, "Please, Mom, I don't want to go to jail! I still want to go to the hospital, and I will definitely take good care of you in the future!"
"Mom, will you go to jail for me?"
