Chapter 128: Chapter 0128: Someone Interferes from Above
Song Jia’s pear blossom-like face was tear-stained, her complexion pale and filled with unspeakable sorrow as she watched Ji Zhuoyuan hysterically screaming.
She had only one son, Ji Yunlin, whom she cherished and protected every day as if he were the most fragile treasure, pouring all her heart into him. But now, Ji Yunlin’s life hung by a thread.
This made Song Jia’s heart brim with an unspeakable hatred and a desire to kill.
Whoever it was, she vowed to find the person behind this and kill them, for nothing else would quell the hatred in her heart.
Now, seeing her man, Ji Zhuoyuan, finally arriving, Song Jia found an outlet for her anguish and began to scream madly, like a lunatic.
However, it was only natural for Song Jia to react this way; any mother would be unable to bear seeing her son in such a state and would crave vengeance. That Song Jia had waited patiently for Ji Zhuoyuan to come was already an immense feat of self-control. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Ji Zhuoyuan hadn’t gone directly to the ward upon arriving at the hospital, instead visiting the dean’s office first, where he learned of his son, Ji Yunlin’s precarious condition, his life uncertain.
Now, gazing upon his wife, her face tear-streaked with sorrow and hate, and seeing Ji Yunlin lying on the hospital bed with countless tubes and wires attached to him, Ji Zhuoyuan’s fists clenched tightly together, cracking with a series of snaps!
Then an undeniable tide of murderous intent spread from his body, infiltrating every corner of the hospital ward.
Suddenly, the atmosphere within the ward dropped sharply, becoming oppressively tense in that moment.
The next moment, Ji Zhuoyuan took a step towards the bed and reached out with trembling hands to gently touch Ji Yunlin’s cheek: "Yunlin, don’t... don’t scare Daddy..."
Though Ji Zhuoyuan tried to control his voice, it was still laced with an irrepressible tremor.
Ji Zhuoyuan had never imagined in his wildest dreams that his son would encounter such an ordeal in the small city of Jiang Zhongshi, to be beaten to such a state.
Then, slowly shifting his gaze from Ji Yunlin, he looked towards Song Jia: "Who did this?"
"I don’t know, I don’t know..." Song Jia shook her head frantically.
If only she knew who it was, it would be different, but she didn’t know who had brought her son to this state.
"No leads at all?" Ji Zhuoyuan’s brow furrowed slightly.
"I remember now, they mentioned someone named Ye Xunhuan..." Song Jia immediately screamed hysterically: "Yes, Ye Xunhuan, it must be him, it has to be..."
"Ye Xunhuan!" Ji Zhuoyuan repeated through gritted teeth: "No matter who you are, I want your life!"
After saying this, Ji Zhuoyuan glanced at Song Jia: "Take good care of Yunlin, I need to step out!"
With those words, Ji Zhuoyuan left without giving Song Jia a chance to respond and walked out of the ward; he was going to find Zhao Wusheng!
He was determined to ascertain the situation and find out whether it was Ye Xunhuan behind this. If it was indeed Ye Xunhuan, he would show no mercy.
Moreover, since Song Jia had come along, he did not believe that Zhao Wusheng could be unaware that Ji Yunlin was his son and dismiss the matter lightly.
Currently, Zhao Wusheng was also feeling a severe headache. He was already aware of Ji Yunlin’s situation and had come to know of his identity as well.
In the capital, Ji Yunlin was definitely a prominent young master.
But such an incident had occurred in his jurisdiction of Jiang Zhongshi; if not handled well, Zhao Wusheng himself would be doomed!
Most importantly, as far as Zhao Wusheng knew, this incident was vaguely connected to Ye Xunhuan!
For Zhao Wusheng, the memories of Ye Xunhuan were still fresh. He clearly remembered that last time because of the affairs of the Mu family, even the combat team had been mobilized, and he had received calls from many bigwigs above, each one pressing him down firmly.
But now, this incident had again implicated Ye Xunhuan, how could he not have a headache.
In his view, this was completely a clash of the gods, and as a mere mortal, he was suffering the consequences.
...
In the patrol team, Lin Wentao was unable to get any useful information from Ye Xunhuan, and he could not read any clues from Ye Xunhuan’s face. Ye was too calm, a calm that made Lin Wentao feel somewhat terrified.
Just when Lin Wentao felt utterly helpless with Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi had already rushed over, and not just Qiu Ruoxi, Tang Yurou had also followed.
After Ye Xunhuan had been taken away, Tang Yurou’s heart was filled with anxiety and worry, unable to concentrate on work.
And Qiu Ruoxi?
Her heart was also filled with worry. Although she did not get along with Ye Xunhuan, he was her husband after all. Now with Ye Xunhuan suspected of premeditated murder, could her heart be at ease?
As a star entrepreneur of Jiangzhong City, Qiu Ruoxi’s arrival naturally warranted a direct reception by Wang Shengli.
Wang Shengli was slightly overweight with a bit of a beer belly, perhaps due to middle age.
Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi, Wang Shengli immediately greeted her with a smile, saying, "What wind has blown our esteemed Ms. Qiu, the big boss of Jiangzhong City, over here?"
"There’s a matter I’d like to trouble Captain Wang with!"
"Ms. Qiu, please state your concerns."
"My company’s Ye Xunhuan..."
Qiu Ruoxi had just started speaking when Wang Shengli immediately interrupted, "Ms. Qiu, if you’ve come for him, then please stop there. As for this matter, I, Wang, am powerless to help..."
As he spoke, the corners of Wang Shengli’s mouth slowly curled into a bitter smile.
Just a moment ago, he had received a phone call from above, stating that under no circumstances could Ye Xunhuan be released, no matter who came to plea, and it seemed that someone from above would even be sent down.
Upon hearing Wang Shengli’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s graceful brows furrowed slightly, "What, do you mean to say that you already have the evidence, Captain Wang?"
"No," Wang Shengli replied truthfully.
"If that’s the case, then according to..."
"Ms. Qiu, I am aware of what you’re going to say, but I really can’t release him. Even if it means detaining him, I have to hold him for forty-eight hours."
"Why?"
Wang Shengli extended his hand and pointed towards the ceiling. He believed that with Qiu Ruoxi’s intelligence, she would definitely understand!
Just as Wang Shengli had expected, after seeing his gesture, Qiu Ruoxi immediately realized, "Then may I ask if Captain Wang can disclose who the person that died this time really is?"
"No one has died yet," Wang Shengli said softly. "But whether he can survive, I don’t know. His name is Ji Yunlin, and with Ms. Qiu’s connections, you should be able to find out!"
