Chen Jinzhao's expression grew increasingly grim.
If Mo Chengkun was telling the truth, then these people were truly going too far, aiming to eliminate all traces.
But who would target the Mo family father and daughter?
The Yu family?
There was a ninety-nine percent chance.
The Mo family father and daughter had only offended the Yu family. With Yu Lingxiao's overbearing personality, it was indeed possible for him to do such a thing.
There was no other reason than wanting the Mo family father and daughter to be buried with his grandson.
Chen Jinzhao had witnessed the Yu family's arrogant demeanor, so he had no doubt they would do such a thing.
"Uncle Mo, please instruct Mo He to stay within the university campus for the next half month. As long as she is at Ninghai University, no one will be able to harm her. If she absolutely must leave campus for other matters, she can report it to me, and I can provide support at any time if something unexpected happens." Chen Jinzhao conveyed his thoughts to Mo Chengkun, who was extremely grateful for Chen Jinzhao's concern.
"Alas!"
He sighed, "I am truly useless, unable to even protect my own daughter, forcing her to suffer with me."
"Xiao Chen, is there anything, anything at all, I can do to help you?"
Mo Chengkun desperately wanted to prove his worth.
Chen Jinzhao pondered for a moment before saying, "Uncle Mo, have you ever heard the idiom 'luring the snake out of its hole'? If you can cooperate with us and act out this scene, we can expose the mastermind behind all this."
Mo Chengkun's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Certainly. As long as I can be of assistance, I will do whatever it takes."
"It's not a major undertaking, really. It's just for you to remain in the hospital," Chen Jinzhao said calmly. Meeting Mo Chengkun's puzzled gaze, he continued, "Based on what you've described, those people are appearing with increasing frequency, indicating they are eager to make their move. We will create a false impression that you are being discharged in three days. They will undoubtedly try to act within these three days."
"As for your personal safety, you have no need to worry at all."
"Someone will be secretly protecting you."
"However—"
"This plan carries a certain degree of risk, Uncle Mo. Please consider it carefully."
How could Mo Chengkun not know the danger?
Yet, he agreed in one breath, his cloudy eyes gradually gleaming, "Xiao Chen, do you know? My dream when I was young was to join the army, to contribute to the country and society. But I had flat feet and didn't meet the requirements. Later, I worked many jobs, such as a construction worker, a delivery man, a food delivery rider, and then a security guard. I thought my latter half of life would be spent in mediocrity, just passing time and waiting to die. Now that this opportunity is presented to me, I must contribute to society."
"I truly hope to embody the saying online—"
"'Though born a common ant, one should harbor the aspirations of a swan; though one's fate be thin as paper, one's knees should remain unbent.'"
Chen Jinzhao was deeply moved.
People like Mo Chengkun, widely considered the lowest rung of society, harbored a desire to contribute to society.
But who had ever truly cared about or valued these people?
It was as if the bustling, vibrant city held no connection to them.
With this thought, Chen Jinzhao understood the arduous task ahead of him. He smiled and said to Mo Chengkun, "Thank you, Uncle Mo."
Mo Chengkun scratched his head sheepishly, indicating that it was simply what he should do.
Leaving the ward.
Chen Jinzhao called Tao Qiyue and informed her of the troubles Mo Chengkun was facing. Tao Qiyue pondered, "Do you suspect this matter is related to the Yu family?"
"Haha, speaking such things requires evidence. There's no proof yet, so I wouldn't dare to speak rashly," Chen Jinzhao replied.
Tao Qiyue's suspicions were similar to his, but as a police officer, she could not speculate carelessly. She also smiled and said, "Leave this matter to me. I was just looking for a way to break into the Yu family's affairs, and you've presented me with a great gift."
"After this is settled, I'll treat you to a meal."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinzhao felt a significant sense of relief.
The plainclothes officers arranged by Tao Qiyue soon arrived at the hospital. Chen Jinzhao then left that floor and proceeded to Xu Mingzhi's ward, as Xu Nianqing had instructed him to do.
However, Chen Jinzhao was not as polite with Xu Mingzhi.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Jinzhao rushed to Li Xiaozhong's ward, feeling a sense of familiarity with so many acquaintances in the hospital. If he remembered correctly, Yu Shenxing should still be in the hospital receiving treatment, right?
It was a pity that his ward was under surveillance; otherwise, Chen Jinzhao would have liked to meet that fellow and see if he harbored any remorse.
Li Xiaozhong's surgery was very successful, and his recovery was also quite good.
The only thing Li Xiaozhong worried about was his daughter. Leukemia was no minor illness, and they had spent so much money on it before without success.
Chen Jinzhao said, "Focus on your recovery. Your child's matter is on my shoulders."
After giving the instructions, Chen Jinzhao suddenly thought of something and specifically told Li Xiaozhong, "Right, pay close attention in the coming period. See if any suspicious individuals appear. From what I know of Ning Fei, he is a petty and hypocritical fellow, and he might seek revenge."
Li Xiaozhong was stunned, then said gratefully, "Mr. Chen, I understand."
"Mm."
"If anything comes up, contact me anytime."
As soon as Chen Jinzhao left, Shen Liangping arrived at the hospital.
He went straight to the orthopedic department, closed the door, and sat in front of a female doctor. The doctor looked up briefly before lowering her eyes again, "So urgent?"
Shen Liangping nodded, "I heard Mo Chengkun is being discharged in three days?"
The female doctor said indifferently, "Aren't you afraid this is a trap, waiting for you to fall into it? Doing such things for the Yu family, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Xiao Qin, our child's comfortable life abroad is thanks to the Yu family's help, isn't it? The old man has treated me well, and I've done many dirty deeds for the Yu family. I'm not afraid of one more." Shen Liangping chuckled wryly.
Wang Qin shook her head, unable to understand Shen Liangping.
She once again said earnestly, "I've looked into Mo Chengkun. He's just an ordinary man, and his daughter is a pitiable soul, nearly harmed by the Yu family's eldest son."
"How could you bring yourself to harm such a person?"
Shen Liangping's expression became impatient. He waved his hand, "You don't need to concern yourself with these matters. Who told the Mo family father and daughter to offend someone they shouldn't have? If it weren't for Mo He, the eldest son wouldn't be in jail."
"If you're not brave enough to do it, someone else will help me."
Wang Qin looked up at Shen Liangping again, realizing this man was like a different person compared to his past self. After hesitating for a while, she said, "This is the last time. Don't come to me with such matters again. I also hope you will leave me alone from now on and agree to my divorce request."
Shen Liangping chuckled slyly, patting his chest and assuring her it was the last time.
"Then Doctor Wang..."
"Take a look at my arm. I got injured a while ago."
