Mu Jiu Chen’s deep eyes suddenly widened, looking at the agitated little woman before him in disbelief.
How could she say such a thing?
“Jiang Nuan, do you know what you’re saying?” Mu Jiu Chen’s voice was choked with suppressed sobs.
Jiang Nuan looked at him, tears streaming down her face, but her words remained harsh: “Yes, I know? I’m not so foolish as to let you all manipulate me! Then tell me, why was it such a coincidence? Your phone is never off, but at the critical moment, you turned it off. If I hadn’t brought the medicine with me, my daughter and I would have died in the car today, and we wouldn’t have been able to get to the hospital.”
“Also, ever since this woman appeared, you’ve been out early and back late. Only you know what you’ve been doing. So, get out!”
As the last word left her lips, Jiang Nuan’s heart ached, and tears fell.
Mu Jiu Chen, I’m sorry, I believed you, but seeing that cold, glinting dagger pierce my daughter’s small body with my own eyes, as a mother, I was terrified.
She was truly scared!
Her child was her life!
She had to find out who it was!
She knew firsthand how terrifying a woman’s jealousy could be!
In a case she had handled before, a wealthy man had a mistress. The mistress, wanting everything the man had, conspired with him to kill his original wife and their children.
If only she had been more patient and thought more about her future, a life wouldn’t have been lost for no reason.
After the case was closed, she numbly watched the entire murder unfold.
The process was simple: the husband’s mistress invited her for a meeting, the husband lured the child out, and during dinner, the food was poisoned, leading to the deaths of mother and child.
Three months later, her mother reported the case after failing to find her daughter.
And what happened today made her heart pound.
To dare to kill someone in the city, the perpetrator left no room for error.
They could also handle the aftermath cleanly, leaving no trace.
As long as there was a chance to catch the culprit, she wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Her child would still be in danger in the future.
In the ward, only Jiang Nuan’s soft breaths could be heard.
Chen Feng looked at the scene in astonishment.
He was a bit confused; how did Chu Yun Ying get into the presidential suite?
Chu Yun Ying also hadn’t expected Jiang Nuan’s reaction to be so intense. She spoke weakly, “Sister, I really didn’t…”
“Chen Feng, tape her mouth shut, and then throw her out.”
Mu Jiu Chen commanded with a dark expression.
Chu Yun Ying froze. She had expected Mu Jiu Chen to leave with her.
While Mu Jiu Chen was distressed, she could use her hypnotic techniques.
Then she could stay by his side, comfort him, and take advantage of his vulnerability.
She had never dreamed that Mu Jiu Chen would throw her out.
The script hadn’t gone as she imagined.
Chen Feng looked at the innocent-looking Chu Yun Ying with a displeased expression. “Let’s go, Miss Chu, don’t make me get rough with you.”
Chu Yun Ying cast a wronged glance at Mu Jiu Chen and turned to leave.
Chen Feng closed the door.
Mu Jiu Chen reached out and wiped the tears from Jiang Nuan’s face.
Jiang Nuan threw herself into his arms.
Mu Jiu Chen paused, then carefully wrapped his arms around her waist.
He rested his head on her shoulder and then gently said, seeing her arm bleeding, “Nuan Nuan, your arm is bleeding.”
“Oh!” Jiang Nuan replied faintly and then fell silent.
“Wife.” Mu Jiu Chen tentatively called out again.
“Mmm!” Jiang Nuan answered again.
She knew her words just now were sharper than knives, and Mu Jiu Chen’s heart must be hurting.
“I’m sorry, husband. I suspect Chu Yun Ying is involved in Yun Yun’s kidnapping. Her words and actions were clearly aimed at ruining our relationship. I could only play along.”
Mu Jiu Chen frowned slightly. Her playing along had hurt him deeply.
“Impossible. She wouldn’t dare, nor does she have the capability.”
“What did you say?” Jiang Nuan sat up abruptly.
If she had been faking earlier, Jiang Nuan was truly angry now. She asked word by word, “So, you believe her and not me!”
Mu Jiu Chen looked at the coldness in her eyes and explained helplessly, “Nuan Nuan, she has no power or influence. Where would she find so many people to kidnap Yun Yun?” Based on his understanding of Chu Yun Ying, she didn’t have that kind of ability.
Jiang Nuan looked at his certainty and hesitated to speak.
“I know. You should go back; I need to rest.” After speaking, Jiang Nuan slowly lay down. She would investigate this matter herself.
Mu Jiu Chen sighed helplessly. He was telling the truth; why didn’t Nuan Nuan believe him!
“I’ll call the doctor; your arm is bleeding.” Mu Jiu Chen got out of bed and put on his shoes. Jiang Nuan said, “No need to trouble yourself.”
She pressed the call button; a duty doctor would be here soon.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her cold demeanor, his heart aching.
Considering she was injured, Mu Jiu Chen didn’t argue with her.
“Nuan Nuan, I’ll be back soon.” Since she suspected, he would have someone investigate.
“Mmm!” Jiang Nuan replied faintly.
Hearing the door close, Jiang Nuan slowly sat up again. Mu Jiu Chen didn’t believe her, so she had to investigate herself.
She picked up her phone and sent a message.
[Qi Qi, have you arrived in Modu?]
Yan Qi: [Sister, I arrived yesterday.]
Jiang Nuan: [Help me investigate this person. Find someone trustworthy to help you, with two people taking shifts to track her, keeping a 24-hour watch on her.]
Jiang Nuan sent Chu Yun Ying’s photo.
This matter could not be so simple!
[Okay, sister. Don’t worry.]
Jiang Nuan had always trusted Yan Qi. Yan Qi had done a good job protecting Yuan Yuan before!
After sending the message, Jiang Nuan saw a nurse and a duty doctor push the door open.
She gave the duty doctor an apologetic smile. “Sorry, my arm is bleeding.”
Lin Yu Xin happened to be on duty tonight. She looked at Jiang Nuan’s exquisite face and smiled faintly. “It’s alright, I’ll take care of it for you.”
Jiang Nuan moved closer to the bedside to allow Lin Yu Xin to treat her.
Mu Jiu Chen entered at this moment.
He watched as the doctor unwrapped the bandages layer by layer, revealing a long, shocking bloodstain on Jiang Nuan’s arm.
Mu Jiu Chen’s heart ached sharply. His gaze deepened, and his lips pressed even tighter.
A few minutes later, Lin Yu Xin finished dressing the wound and said to Jiang Nuan with a smile, “All done. Try not to touch the wound. Just press the call button if anything is needed.”
“Thank you!” Jiang Nuan found the doctor very gentle and beautiful.
Lin Yu Xin left with the nurse.
Jiang Nuan glanced at Mu Jiu Chen and then lay down to sleep.
“You should go back. You won’t be comfortable sleeping here, and I need to sleep.” Jiang Nuan was truly angry that he didn’t believe her.
Mu Jiu Chen sighed helplessly. How could he leave?
The hospital bed could accommodate two people. He took off his shoes and lay down beside her, pulling her gently into his arms without a sound.
He whispered softly and tenderly in her ear, “Wife, don’t be angry anymore. I’ve already sent people to investigate, and we’ll have news soon.”
