He... just wasn’t ant to be with us.
Su Xiaong looked at Yin Shixiu, her body weak. Her lips could move as usual, but her voice was hard to produce...
Fortunately, Yin Shixiu could understand every word she wanted to say.
"Uncle..."
Yin Shixiu nodded, reaching out to touch her hair.
"I’m sorry..."
Su Xiaong murmured, her tears falling along the wet tracks.
Yin Shixiu was already upset, and hearing Xiao ng say sorry made it hard for him to describe his feelings...
She... Why should she say sorry?
The one who should be sorry... is him, the husband who failed to protect her, failed to protect that poor child.
Xiao ng bit her lip, the pain of losing Little Treasure far exceeding the physical pain from her wounds.
Seeing the tears in Yin Shixiu’s eyes made her feel even more guilty and distressed.
Such a strong and towering man, seemingly never showing a vulnerable side...
"Huang Huang..."
"Huang Huang’s forehead got a small cut, but it’s been treated, and the doctor said it won’t leave a scar. Mom and Dad took them ho."
Yin Shixiu said to her, wanting to ease her mind.
"Mom and Dad..."
"Su’s father and Su’s mother are still in the waiting room; I’ll call them over in a mont. Don’t worry, as long as you’re well, everyone will be well."
"Uncle... hug, hug..."
Su Xiaong felt cold and empty inside, her heart longing for the child she had awaited with the most beautiful expectations, now gone...
Yin Shixiu stood up, leaning down, his cheek brushing against Su Xiaong’s cheek, gripping her hand tightly.
"ng ng, thank you..."
"..."
Yin Shixiu closed his eyes, the sll of dicine on Xiao ng’s body sowhat pungent, yet he breathed it in greedily...
Thank you for being so brave, thank you for not leaving him.
Su’s father and Su’s mother were outside the hospital room, seeing this scene, stopped their anxious steps, unwilling to disturb them.
Xiao ng was too weak, soon falling back into sleep after waking up for a short ti.
Su’s father and Su’s mother watched her by the bedside for a long ti before leaving.
"Her grandfather called, he must have found out. I’ll go back with Chengji and co by later."
Su’s mother said to Yin Shixiu.
Shan Minglang quickly said from the side,
"Don’t worry, Su Family mother, my sister and I will stay here with her."
Su’s mother forced a smile at Shan Minglang.
After seeing off Su’s father and Su’s mother, Yin Shixiu imdiately received a call from Wu Rong, the current chief of the Public Security Bureau.
Yin Shixiu gave Yin ng and Shan Minglang a look, instructing them to stay outside Xiao ng’s room.
Then he walked independently to the balcony of the corridor.
Wu Rong just turned forty, being at this age and assuming the role of chief of the Public Security Bureau takes more than just competent skills; it requires certain connections.
The Wu Family and Yin Family had no real connection, but Wu Rong and Yin Shixiu had a deep relationship.
Though a few years apart in age, it didn’t affect their dealings.
Initially, they only t once, exchanged a few words, and later when Wu Rong rose to power, Yin Shixiu helped him with a couple of connections.
Since then, Wu Rong kept this in mind.
When the incident occurred yesterday, shortly after Xiao ng ca out of surgery, he called Wu Rong.
Even Yin Shixiu didn’t anticipate that one call would lead the chief of the Public Security Bureau to conduct an overnight investigation into the Yin Family.
The stove used for decocting dicine, pots, and even the remains of Chinese dicine buried in the yard were taken as evidence for investigation and examination.
This morning, the results were revealed.
No catalyst components were found in the remains of Chinese dicine, but the bowl which contained the dicine tested positive for catalyst components.
Guo Tong’s thermos, although washed by Ah Su, was still sent to the chief, hoping to find sothing.
The dicine was decocted by Mrs. Huang and delivered by her; after the catalyst component identification results ca out in the morning, the chief took people to bring Mrs. Huang as a criminal suspect to the station for investigation.
"How did she react?"
Yin Shixiu asked Wu Rong.
"She strongly denied harming Su Xiaong, denying all evidence. She cried a lot, saying she had no grievance or enmity with Su Xiaong and wouldn’t harm her."
"And what about Guo Tong?"
"When the suspect was ntioned the thermos was Guo Tong’s, she froze for a mont, then after a long pause said she didn’t harm anyone..."
"You’re a policeman, how credible do you find her words?"
"Hard to say, from what I understand, her sister who served with her at the Yin Family was maliciously scalded by Guo Tong on her hands and feet. She might harbor resentnt against Guo Tong, thus wanting to harm her."
