Chapter 1836: Chapter 1835: The Truth
“Officer Lu, I can answer questions.”
Lying on the hospital bed, Qing Yang’s face was pale, but his eyes held the determination of a soldier.
For having been in a coma for so long, his ability to wake up was inseparable from his perseverance.
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Qing Yang, then looked up at Gu Kai standing nearby, using his eyes to ask: Is Qing Yang okay like this? Or should we let him rest a bit more?
Gu Kai smiled faintly, speaking gently, “Don’t ask too many questions, he can still hold on for a while.”
Having just woken up, his body must be weak.
However, he could still manage a few sentences.
Judging by Qing Yang’s expression, he clearly had a lot to say, so it’s better to let him speak a little, rather than keeping it bottled up.
Mo Xiuchen nodded, signaling to Lu Zhiyan that he could ask questions.
Although he and Wen Ran had arrived at the hospital slightly earlier than Lu Zhiyan, they had only inquired about Qing Yang’s physical condition out of concern and didn’t ask him about those matters.
Mo Xiuchen stepped aside, his large hand unmistakably holding Wen Ran’s hand, calmly watching Lu Zhiyan and Qing Yang.
Lu Zhiyan stepped forward and, before asking, showed concern, “Are you okay?”
Qing Yang nodded, indicating he could endure.
“I’ll ask a few simple questions, and if you feel too tired, just let me know, and I can ask later.”
Now that Qing Yang had regained consciousness, there was no rush.
Standing outside the hospital room, Qing Feng also walked in at this time, but did not approach the bed, instead standing by the doorway.
“Was the person who attacked you in Country M Meng Ke? Or was he related to him?”
Lu Zhiyan hit the nail on the head, getting straight to the point.
Upon hearing Meng Ke’s name, a change of expression appeared on Qing Yang’s face, a hint of anger surfacing. He glanced at Mo Xiuchen and the others standing nearby, “It was Meng Ke because I discovered his drug smuggling.”
Indeed, it was Meng Ke.
Upon hearing Qing Yang’s words, a trace of chill flashed through Mo Xiuchen’s eyes.
Their suspicions had always been correct; it was just that there was no concrete evidence to prove Meng Ke had committed those acts. The police didn’t have the evidence to arrest him, allowing him to leave G City and go abroad.
Thinking about Meng Ke, who was already abroad, made Mo Xiuchen and the others’ expressions even sterner.
“Did you see who he was trading with?”
This was a crucial clue. Tang Yang and the others had been investigating in Country M for a long time. Although they had some evidence and even caught someone, they hadn’t been able to take down the crime syndicate.
The scope and number of people involved were too extensive for them to uncover in just one or two days.
Qing Yang thought for a moment and softly said, “I saw that he was trading with a man with brown eyes, approximately 1.9 meters tall, weighing around 200 pounds, about fifty years old…”
Lu Zhiyan listened while jotting down what Qing Yang said.
When Qing Yang started appearing visibly fatigued, Lu Zhiyan stopped asking questions, letting him rest.
Mo Xiuchen then spoke warmly, “Qing Yang, get some good rest. The rest can be left to us.”
Qing Yang nodded.
When in Country M, he thought he was certain to die, he didn’t expect to be back home alive.
Having gained a second chance at life, he naturally wanted to cherish it.
Qing Feng chimed in at this time, “During your coma, I’ve been the one answering calls at home. If you didn’t wake up soon, Grandpa and the others would start to suspect.”
There was a hint of apology in Qing Yang’s eyes as he looked at Qing Feng, “I’ll go home and visit in a few days.”
Seeing Lu Zhiyan put away his notes, Mo Xiuchen casually asked, “What do you plan to do about Xu Wanqi?”
“When I received the call, I was chatting with Xu Wanqi. I forgot to tell you earlier, but your suspicions and analysis should be correct.”
“Oh?”
Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, gazing sharply at Lu Zhiyan.
What analysis was he right about?
Lu Zhiyan chuckled coldly, “I repeated your analysis to Xu Wanqi, and her expression changed quite a bit.”
If Xu Wanqi heard this, she might spit blood in anger on the spot.
Her expression didn’t change much, perhaps just showing a hint of hatred and jealousy.
Yet in Lu Zhiyan’s account, it became quite changeable.
If Meng Ke heard this, wouldn’t he suspect she betrayed him?
Mo Xiuchen understood and replied coldly, “Before, it was just a suspicion, but now that you have evidence, handle the next steps on your own.”
Some matters were not for them to interfere with.
Lu Zhiyan blinked, “If the Mo General has the manpower, perhaps you could help us locate Meng Ke.”
Mo Xiuchen shot him a cold look, “Do you think I’m an Immortal? Meng Ke escaped abroad, and you think I can find him for you.”
Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, unfazed by Mo Xiuchen’s sarcasm. Meng Ke wasn’t going to D Country to find Bai Xiaoxiao?
The others watched them ‘exchange looks,’ but the air was filled with a strange atmosphere.
“Ranran, let’s return to the company.”
Mo Xiuchen, uninterested in engaging with Lu Zhiyan, spoke kindly to Wen Ran.
Wen Ran smiled and nodded, reminding Qing Yang to rest well before asking her brother if he wanted to leave together.
Gu Kai raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Qing Yang, just rest up. I don’t have anything pressing; you can come to my office for a cup of tea.”
“I won’t go; the station has many things waiting for me to handle.”
Lu Zhiyan rubbed his nose, sensibly declining.
As they left the ward together and reached the elevator, Mo Xiuchen spoke to Lu Zhiyan stepping into it, “Don’t forget to inform Tang Yang.”
Lu Zhiyan returned a reassuring look, and once the elevator doors closed, Xiuchen and Wen Ran followed Gu Kai to his office.
Upon arriving at Gu Kai’s office, Mo Xiuchen pulled out his phone to call Luo Haofeng.
Gu Kai brewed a cup of tea for each of them, glanced at Mo Xiuchen, and gestured for him to take the call to the side.
Mo Xiuchen indeed stood up and walked to the window to make the call.
“Ranran, how’s your health?”
Gu Kai had Mo Xiuchen step aside to avoid interrupting his conversation with Ranran.
Wen Ran smiled lightly, “It’s much better since winter passed.”
It’s often said that winter is hard on the elderly, but since giving birth to Ziyi and Momo, Wen Ran felt especially cold in winter.
She wore more clothes than before having children, yet didn’t feel warmer.
“Are your medications finished?”
A hint of pity flashed in Gu Kai’s eyes; a woman’s postpartum recovery is crucial, yet Ranran grieved excessively just days after childbirth due to Momo’s disappearance.
How could she not develop health issues?
“Almost done.”
When the topic of medication came up, Wen Ran couldn’t help but frown.
Traditional medicine isn’t usually sweet, and though she used to take it for long periods, she couldn’t ever enjoy it as if it were a meal.
Gu Kai gently said, “Once you finish those medications, you won’t have to take any more.”
