Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Insisting on Suing Doctor Si
According to the police investigation, the woman was found to be married with three children, with a harmonious relationship with her husband and no extra-marital affairs, effectively ruling out passion killing.
She appeared untouched, with her clothes intact, which suggested it wasn’t a case of rape and murder. Further, the money in her wallet was still there, thereby ruling out a robbery. In short, the case was currently without a shred of evidence or lead.
In an age where technology was not as advanced and surveillance cameras did not line every street, cases like these often went unsolved, or even if the case was cracked, the perpetrator remained elusive.
Many women fell victim to such circumstances, hence it became the reason why many parents forbade their children from going out after dark, fearing the occurrence of any unexpected incidents.
Tong Yao watched for a while, then switched the channel to financial news, thereby missing the deceased’s portrait on the news broadcast.
If she had seen the photo, she would have been shocked, because the deceased was the same woman who was angrily berating Wang Chun just a few days ago.
When Tong Yao switched to financial news, her attention was caught by a news report about Zhao Wenkai.
The report stated that he had already sold his shares and resigned from the company. The company was now being managed by the third-largest shareholder, Sun Chengxue. In the process, Zhao Wenkai became the chairman of Dolphin Group, emerging as a real estate tycoon.
No wonder he claimed he could snatch a house for Si Chen anytime, the latest batch of properties were indeed developed by his company, and plans were also underway to build a large shopping mall in the eastern suburbs, also belonging to Dolphin Group.
Such large-scale operations couldn’t have been accomplished overnight. Evidently, this had been part of Zhao Wenkai’s plan for quite some time. Indeed, he was not someone ordinary.
At that moment, Zhao Wenkai was sitting on a sofa in a hotel room, watching news about himself. As the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom, his hawk eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
A moment later, the sound of water in the bathroom ceased. Lin Man, clad in a bathrobe and blushing, appeared. Seeing that Zhao Wenkai’s attention was still on the television, she pretended to slip in an attempt to attract his attention. However, Zhao Wenkai barely glanced at her and did not even move to support her.
Unwilling to give up, Lin Man moved in front of the television and adopted Wang Chun’s tone to call him, "Akai ..."
Zhao Wenkai frowned, "Whether in public or private, you can only call me Mr. Zhao."
"..." Lin Man was slightly taken aback, but she didn’t linger on it. She gazed at Zhao Wenkai affectionately, slowly reaching out to touch his tie.
During her time with Zhao Wenkai, she noticed a pattern: Zhao Wenkai always took a bath after their encounters but never beforehand. This led her to believe that Zhao Wenkai wished to wash off any trace of her.
Once, while Zhao Wenkai was in the bath, she sprayed a perfume on his clothes. However, this resulted in a scolding from Zhao Wenkai, who warned her that if it happened again, she would regret it.
He even had his driver deliver a new set of clothes.
Aside from these, Zhao Wenkai never stayed overnight whenever he saw her. His encounters with her were always brief, akin to completing a task - he never allowed himself to indulge in romance for even a moment longer.
"I’ve called you this time because I have something for you to do." Zhao Wenkai grabbed Lin Man’s wandering hand, signaling her to sit and talk.
After their first encounter, Zhao Wenkai usually took her directly to the hotel. Most of the time, he would ask about Zhao Rongwei’s condition and then leave after their meeting, his words seldom exceeding ten sentences. This was the first time he sought her out to talk. Unsure of what Zhao Wenkai wished to discuss, Lin Man obediently took a seat on the edge of the bed.
"I’ve now sold all of my shares in Zhao Corporation. Currently, my uncle is the largest shareholder of the company, but since he is bedridden in the hospital, the company is being managed by the second largest shareholder, Sun Chengxue. Right now, Zhao Wenyu must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot because unless my uncle dies, he has no way of inheriting the shares and taking over the company."
His lips curled with a hint of irony, as if he had everything under control. "He has two choices now - wait for my uncle to wake up and take over the company, with him playing the role of the crown prince. The other is for my uncle to die, allowing him to inherit the property and become the emperor."
Lin Man was unable to understand Zhao Wenkai’s intentions. "What can I do?" It seemed like none of this had anything to do with her.
Zhao Wenkai said, "Instigate Zhao Wenyu and Fang Xiujing to abandon the treatment for my uncle."
"..." Lin Man didn’t understand why Zhao Wenkai wanted to do this. "Isn’t he your uncle? Although he’s in a vegetative state right now, as long as he doesn’t have brain failure, there’s still a chance for him to wake up."
Since Zhao Wenkai had already sold all the company shares, there shouldn’t be any property disputes. She suddenly remembered what Zhao Wenyu said in the ward and felt a sudden shock.
Could Zhao Rongwei’s car accident really be related to Zhao Wenkai?
Lin Man grew anxious. She wanted to spend her life peacefully with Zhao Wenkai and hadn’t thought about getting involved in something illegal.
Zhao Wenkai said coldly, "I want to turn that into a possibility into an impossibility."
Seeing Lin Man about to ask something, he said, "Trust me, knowing less is better for you. You’re a nurse, just utter a few words, and they will be worth more than thousands from others."
"..."
After thinking from side to side, Lin Man reasoned that if she merely stoked the fires and said a few words before Fang Xiujing and Zhao Wenyu, even if they decided to give up treatment, it was their own decision, and it had nothing to do with her.
But... if she was going to be part of this, she wanted something in return.
"I don’t want to work in the hospital anymore. After this matter is completed, I want to resign from the hospital."
"Fine. You can be my secretary then." After this matter was completed, Lin Man wouldn’t be of much use at the hospital. He preferred to keep her under his watch. Zhao Wenkai liked to keep everything under his control.
Lin Man’s eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
Having reached an agreement, Zhao Wenkai stood up straight away. "I’m going home now. It would be best if this task was accomplished quickly."
In Lin Man’s eyes, Zhao Wenkai was never enthusiastic about intimacy, so she wasn’t surprised by his swift departure. She slept peacefully in the hotel, and upon reaching the hospital the next day, the nurse on duty immediately pulled her aside to complain.
"You should be careful when you go to give Zhao Rongwei his nutrient injection later. Zhao Wenyu is throwing a tantrum again. He’s like a madman, losing his temper out of nowhere, threatening to sue Dr. Si."
"I got it. You go rest first!"
Lin Man walked up to the ward’s door with the nutrient solution in hand. As suspected, she could hear Zhao Wenyu throwing a tantrum inside. As he saw Lin Man enter, his eyes widened. "What in the world are you doing? Hurry up and give my father his nutrient solution, and call the doctor. I want to know when my father can wake up. Let me tell you, if I don’t get a clear answer this time, nobody can stop me from suing you in court tomorrow."
"Why are you losing your temper at the nurse again?" Fang Xiujing was worn out by her son’s incessant tantrums.
