Jiang Zao was single-mindedly focused on finding the murderer, which made Fu Yanci's spirit, who was floating nearby, extremely anxious.
"You're injured, what are you busy with all this for?"
"Your lips are dry, you should drink some water."
"Aren't you hungry after staring at the computer for three hours?"
Fu Yanci never imagined that she would be so fussy.
But unfortunately, no one knew about this worry except himself.
Just like the stirring in his heart many years ago.
Knock knock!
"Go in." Jiang Zao finally took her eyes off the computer screen.
She looked at Madam Fu, who was carrying lunch in.
“Mom.” Jiang Zao smiled.
Madam Fu glanced at the computer on Jiang Zao's lap and said with a hint of reproach, "Your most important task right now is to recover from your injury. There's no rush to get back to work."
As she spoke, she turned the small dining table next to the hospital bed around, opened the lunch boxes, and placed the meals on the table one by one.
"Here, have some soup first. This was cooked by the family chef all morning and was just delivered."
Madam Fu personally served Jiang Zao a bowl of soup.
Jiang was somewhat flattered.
In her previous life, she had never seen Old Madam Fu serve anyone so personally.
She quickly put the computer aside: "Mom, I can do it myself."
Madam Fu didn't say anything, but handed over the soup bowl and watched Jiang Zao drink it sip by sip.
He said, "Dean Chu examined Yan Ci again and said that she is recovering well and it's only a matter of time before she wakes up. Don't worry."
She knew that although her daughter-in-law wasn't in the ICU, she was actually very worried about her son.
We're all adults; some concerns don't necessarily have to be made public.
However, what is obviously expressed may not necessarily be genuine concern.
Take, for example, Xia Chuwei, who just went to the ICU and pretended to shed a few tears.
Madam Fu's upbringing prevented her from gossiping behind people's backs, so she only mentioned it briefly: "I heard from Xia Chuwei that your mother is pregnant?"
Jiang Zao finished her soup and nodded: "Yeah, I just found out too. She said she accidentally fell while arguing with Xia Chuwei at home, but fortunately both she and the baby are fine. However, she has to stay in the hospital for a while to protect the pregnancy."
Jiang Zao disdained speaking ill of others behind their backs, but she could still subtly sow discord between Xia Chuwei and others.
Having lived to such an old age, and with both her maternal and paternal families being prominent clans, what kind of schemes and plots hadn't she seen? After a little thought, she realized that Lan Yi's fall was definitely related to Xia Chuwei.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Zao accepted the warm water handed to her by Madam Fu, saying, "Thank you, Mom."
"Since you call me Mom, then don't be so distant with me. You and Yan Ci and Yin He are both my children. When a child is sick, is it only for a mother to say thank you that she takes care of them?"
Madam Fu smiled kindly and reached out to pat Jiang Zao's head: "You don't have to carry everything on your own. Women need to be strong, but sometimes you can find someone to lean on. That person can be your husband or your mother-in-law."
For some reason, Jiang Zao suddenly thought of the time she went to Lan Yi's ward that morning.
She was wearing a hospital gown, her face was pale, and she had a wristband from the ward on her wrist, but Lan Yi completely ignored it, her mind and eyes only on the unborn child in her belly.
Jiang Zao felt a lump in her throat. Even though she had already seen through things and decided not to care, she suddenly felt a little wronged.
Sure enough, people become sentimental when someone cares about them.
To prevent her tears from overflowing, Jiang Zao blinked and changed the subject.
There are some things that perhaps Madam Fu should know.
"Mom, actually I wasn't working just now. I was looking up information on the person who planted the bomb in our car."
She took the computer back.
Madam Fu then walked over and sat down on the chair by the bed.
To see clearly, I even put on my glasses.
Jiang first switched the page to a screenshot of surveillance video from the nearby road where the incident occurred.
He explained, “The driver of this black Land Rover is named Eric. He has committed multiple crimes, including first-degree murder, in the United States. His records show that he was executed ten years ago, but he is still alive and well. I suspect that he planted the bomb because he caused bomb scares and multiple deaths when he was in the United States.”
Madam Fu did not press Jiang Zao on how she obtained the information; she simply asked Jiang Zao to enlarge Eric's photo.
Jiang Zao simply found a clearer photo of Eric in the M country's police files.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Jiang Zao asked, puzzled by Madam Fu's reaction.
At this moment, Fu Yanci, who was floating to the side, also had his pupils startled.
It was him!
Madam Fu's voice trembled slightly: "He had an affair with Jin He."
Jiang Zao was shocked: "Big sister?"
Fu Jinhe, the eldest daughter of the Fu family, suddenly disappeared twenty years ago.
The Fu family did not report the incident to the police, and life went on as usual.
Rumors gradually spread in the circle that Fu Jinhe had eloped with someone and was willing to break with the Fu family for that man.
However, this rumor has never been confirmed.
As time went by, this became old news, and gradually few people mentioned it anymore.
"Mom, you haven't made a mistake?"
Madam Fu was still staring at Eric's photo, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Jinhe once brought him to my house, but I could tell at a glance that this man was no good. I didn’t agree to their relationship continuing, so I kicked him out and locked Jinhe in the house. She tried to run away several times, but I caught her each time. In the end, she actually knelt in front of me and said that she would rather leave the Fu family than be with that man.”
Tears silently slid down Madam Fu's cheeks.
Jiang Zao then learned the truth about the 'disappearance' of the eldest daughter of the Fu family.
She quickly hacked into the M country police system again, trying to search for Fu Jinhe's name, but to no avail.
However, they discovered that the lawyer who defended Eric back then was an Asian woman named Jane.
Strangely, however, there is no photograph of Jane in any of the files.
After Eric 'died,' Jane also disappeared.
This coincidence is destined to be unusual.
“Mom, since Eric has appeared in the country, maybe my eldest sister has also come back.” Jiang Zao felt that this possibility was very high.
She even suspected that the lawyer named Jane was Fu Jinhe.
Because Fu Jinhe was a top student in the Harvard Law School back then.
After a long silence, Madam Fu finally spoke slowly, "Since she has voluntarily left the Fu family, she is no longer a member of the Fu family, and whether she comes back or not has nothing to do with me."
Fearing that Madam Fu might be upset, Jiang Zao called Fu Yinhe and asked her to come and accompany Madam Fu home to rest.
The ward fell silent again. Jiang Zao squinted at the computer screen and suddenly changed the direction of her investigation.
Since Eric faked his death, he certainly can't use his original identity anymore, so perhaps he entered the country under another name.
Jiang Zao then hacked into the domestic immigration system and searched through the recent entry lists for people who matched Eric's characteristics.
