Chapter 485
In the afternoon, Su Miaoyi received a call from Zhuang Yanzheng.
Qi Feng finished interrogating the supermarket owner.
"What did they say?"
"That boss is Jiang Xutong's mother's person. He came to China with Jiang Xutong. After arriving, he gave the original boss a large sum of money to buy the shop. He made an agreement with the original boss to say that he was a relative of the original boss and was helping him manage the shop," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "However, the shop is still under the original boss's name, probably because he is worried about being investigated."
"Where is the original boss?" Su Miaoyi asked.
"When we bought the store, we told them to have the original owner and his family leave Jinghai. Then, after a year or two, we said that the original owner had some family matters to attend to and wasn't planning to come back. The current man has completely taken over the supermarket and the hardware store," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "We've contacted the original owner, and he's fine."
"That's good," Su Miaoyi said.
Zhuang Yanzheng continued, "After arriving, this man looked into many shops near Weiyang Palace and, after much consideration, bought this supermarket."
"Did they have their eyes on Weiyang Palace when they arrived?"
"That's what the man said. When he first arrived, he stayed at the Shen Family Hotel. After learning that Yan Zhou was staying at Weiyang Palace, he and Jiang Xutong started plotting." Zhuang Yanzheng said, "He was near Weiyang Palace, helping to gather information. He was ready to help Jiang Xutong if anything happened."
“Then Jiang Nankun must have known that this man was one of Jiang Xutong’s men when he went to buy things from him,” Su Miaoyi said. “Did he know why Jiang Xutong killed Jiang Nankun?”
He said he knew a little bit.
"why?"
“Jiang Nankun wants to cooperate with Xie Zhiyan,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “That’s what the supermarket owner said. He said that Jiang Nankun has always wanted to continue producing new types of D products. His home was destroyed and he doesn’t have the ability to rebuild it. He also knows that Xie Zhiyan is looking for him, so he has the idea of cooperating with them.”
"Did he know that Xie Zhiyan killed Jiang Zhan?" Su Miaoyi asked. "He should know, right?"
“I know,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “That’s why Jiang Xutong killed him. The supermarket owner said that Jiang Xutong didn’t know that Jiang Zhan and Jiang Nankun were researching new drugs before he came to China, and he didn’t even know that his father was involved in drug-related activities.”
"Jiang Xutong doesn't know?"
"That's what the supermarket owner said. After coming to China, it was Jiang Xutong's mother who told her," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "After Jiang Xutong found out, she became dissatisfied with Jiang Nankun. She felt that it was because Jiang Nankun researched new drugs that Xie Zhiyan and his group were attracted. But Jiang Nankun wanted to cooperate with Xie Zhiyan. So she had the idea of killing him."
“The supermarket owner knows quite a lot,” Su Miaoyi said.
"I heard that she has been following Jiang Xutong's mother for a long time, and Qi Feng had to ask her for a long time to find out these things," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"Does he know where Jiang Xutong is?" Su Miaoyi asked.
“He said he didn’t know, but Qi Feng felt he did,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Qi Feng plans to ask him again.”
“But he’s been arrested,” Su Miaoyi said. “If this goes on for too long, Jiang Xutong will find out he’s been arrested and will definitely move to another place.”
"Yes."
"Have you received replies from the police in the seven locations you contacted?" Su Miaoyi asked.
“Fraud and brainwashing can happen almost anywhere,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “To find out the specifics, we need to investigate further. There’s no news at the moment. We can’t even be sure if it’s one of the seven places we know about. We’ll have to wait and see.”
“Okay,” Su Miaoyi said. “I’ll go see Fan Ning again tomorrow. He didn’t mention anyone specific, which is a way of keeping things under wraps.”
"Okay." Zhuang Yanzheng asked, "How are your injuries? Have the painkillers worn off?"
"It's nothing. Just minor injuries," Su Miaoyi asked. "Did they question the person you brought back? What did they say?"
“No, he doesn’t speak, eat, or drink,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
“They’re all people who only care about money and not about life, so I doubt they’ll say anything,” Su Miaoyi said.
"Let's ask first," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Alright, take a rest. I'll call you if anything comes up." "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Su Miaoyi went through the events of the past two days in her mind, and then fell asleep.
And when he woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
"Qianying, Qianying, Qianying!" Su Miaoyi suddenly opened her eyes and pulled her hand forward, but it was held back.
"Lele." Shen Shilan held her hand.
Su Miaoyi suddenly woke up with a start, her eyes wide open. She looked at Shen Shilan, then at her, and then at her surroundings.
The smell of disinfectant.
Her mind was blank the moment she opened her eyes, and now it was slowly filling in the blankness.
After it was filled, she realized she was in the hospital.
"mom."
Shen Shilan responded, touched her forehead, and then touched her face: "The fever has gone down. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"I have a fever?" Su Miaoyi was a little surprised. When she looked down, she saw the IV needle on the back of her hand.
“You had a low-grade fever, and you wouldn’t wake up no matter how we called you,” Shen Shilan said. “Your aunt and uncle were terrified.”
Su Miaoyi looked at the sky outside; it was still bright. She remembered that it was also bright when she fell asleep, but it was a little darker now: "Why is Uncle back so early? When I called at noon, he said he wouldn't be back until seven or eight in the evening."
Shen Shilan gently rubbed her little face: "Baby, today is already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Su Miaoyi's eyes widened even more: "What?"
“This morning, your aunt and uncle noticed you hadn’t gotten up and thought you might want to sleep a little longer, so they went to work,” Shen Shilan said. “Around 10 a.m., the housekeeper, remembering you hadn’t eaten last night, went to your room to wake you. No matter how she called, you wouldn’t wake up, so she called the doctor and then quickly called your aunt and uncle. After that, she brought you to the hospital.”
Su Miaoyi was having trouble accepting this reality and took Shen Shilan's phone to check the time.
A day has indeed passed.
She slept for twenty-five or twenty-six hours!
“After a series of examinations at the hospital, you showed no signs of waking up. We considered transferring you to the intensive care unit, but the doctor said you were very healthy, with only minor injuries and a low-grade fever. So we moved you to a regular ward,” Shen Shilan said, holding her hand.
"I, I..." Su Miaoyi scratched her head. She really didn't know anything. She was brought to the hospital, examined, and given an IV drip, but she knew nothing about it.
“Lele, if anything is on your mind, tell Mom. If it’s work-related and you can’t tell Mom, then tell Dad,” Shen Shilan said. “Don’t keep everything bottled up inside; it’s bad for your health.”
Su Miaoyi looked at her, wondering why she suddenly said that.
“The doctor said that the low-grade fever is likely due to psychological factors.” Shen Shilan held her hand and stroked her fingers. “Lele, when you’re unhappy, you should talk about it and tell Mom. Mom will definitely keep it a secret.”
Su Miaoyi blinked, a little dazed, and squeezed Shen Shilan's hand back.
She did fall asleep because she was in a bad mood, and she's been quite busy lately, but it shouldn't be enough to cause a low-grade fever.
As she was thinking, she suddenly remembered the scene she had witnessed.
The fever might be caused by the images seen.
