My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 198
Chapter 198 A Wicked Woman
Initially, Mu Yu thought that Yin Anran would be returning a slap and therefore was wary about her hand movements. However, she did not anticipate Yin Anran to be kicking back. When she was aware of her attack, it was too late for her to dodge and she could only reflexively cover her belly with her hands.
In a split second, they heard Zhi Xiaoyin yelling, “Madam, look out!”. At the same time, she flung herself over to protect Mu Yu with a hug. The next moment, Yin Anran’s kick landed heavily on Zhi Xiaoyin’s waist.
“Ouch!”
“Hey!”
The first thing Mu Yu did was to hug Zhi Xiaoyin but due to the external force, she stumbled six to seven steps backward before she managed to steady herself. Looking up, she noticed Zhi Xiaoyin’s contorted expression in pain and she hurriedly grabbed the secretary’s arm to check on her, “How are you feeling?”
“I’m… Argh… I’m okay.” Zhi Xiaoyin gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “Madam, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Mu Yu collected herself and glared at Yin Anran.
“Looks like you are the person who wants to leave Qing Tian Group.”
Just now, Yin Anran mustered up all her energy to kick Mu Yu but did not expect Zhi Xiaoyin to bravely protect her target. While her failed plan irked her, Mu Yu’s comments made her scoff. “Do you think you have the power to fire me? You jinx!”
Mu Yu immediately rolled up her sleeves at the challenge and puffed her chest as she went up to Yin Anran. “I dare you to say one more word!”
She never liked Yin Anran. Had it not been Qin Jinhuan’s mediation, she would never have tolerated the insolent Yin Anran until today.
The attack just now was sneaky. Now that Mu Yu was fully prepared, she had full confidence in fighting Yin Anran.
The moment she stood up straight, she could feel a weird sensation between her legs and immediately put her hands on her belly while closing her legs.
Damn it! Why is my period arriving at this moment!
“Madam, are you alright?” Sensing that Mu Yu was acting odd, Zhi Xiaoyin hurriedly went up to take her arm while staring nervously at her belly.
Yesterday, when Qin Xiaozhi called Qin Jinhuan to notify him about Mu Yu’s pregnancy, both Zhi Xiaoyin and Yin Anran were beside him. The news came as a huge shock to Qin Jinhuan, who repeated his question three times, “Is Yu really pregnant?” Therefore, both of them knew about Mu Yu’s pregnancy, as well as the reason why Zhi Xiaoyin would protect Mu Yu from the attack. Another reason for her loyalty came from how Qin Jinhuan treated her—he trusted her a lot and always delegated various tasks to her, which made her feel grateful toward him.
“I’m fine.” Mu Yu pushed her to the side and straightened her body once again. It didn’t matter if she lost to Yin Anran, as long as she did not bow down.
Yin Anran took a glance at Mu Yu’s hand on the belly, her expression changing as she dramatically rushed up to spit at Mu Yu. “You jinx! I was just saying. You can’t hold me responsible for that!”
“You…”
“Hey, Madam! Madam, calm down.” Fearing that Mu Yu would be at a disadvantage, Zhi Xiaoyin put in all her energy to stop her.
“Get lost!” Yin Anran grabbed the arm that Zhi Xiaoyin placed between her and Mu Yu in a ferocious manner, giving the secretary a hard shove. “You don’t have the right to speak up here!”
“Ouch!” Feeling the pain, Zhi Xiaoyin could not help but exclaim.
“What’s going on with you?” Mu Yu frantically supported Zhi Xiaoyin while reprimanding Yin Anran, “Why are you acting all high and mighty in front of the secretary? If you have the guts, then you should just charge at me!”
“Madam, don’t! Don’t do it!” Zhi Xiaoyin endured the pain and hugged Mu Yu in a desperate plea. “Madam, can we just get into the CEO’s office?”
“Secretary Zhi, I…” Before Mu Yu could finish her sentence, Yin Anran suddenly pounced on her. That immediately terrified Zhi Xiaoyin as she yelled and put herself in front to defend Mu Yu.
Not wanting to see Zhi Xiaoyin taking another blow for her, Mu Yu wanted to push the secretary away to face off Yin Anran. Right then, two security guards rushed over to the fuming Yin Anran and took her arms on each side.
“Let go of me! Let go! Did you hear me?” When her movements were restricted, she immediately fumed. The guards did not seem to listen to her and she turned to threaten them, “Do you still want to keep your jobs?”
“Assistant Yin, why don’t you head back to your office and rest?” Zhi Xiaoyin smiled apologetically and coaxed the belligerent woman, all while hinting at the guards to help. They got the hint and took Yin Anran away from the CEO office entrance without any hesitation.
The guards knew very well that despite Yin Anran’s senior position in the company, she was nothing compared to the CEO’s beloved wife. Even though they treaded carefully around Yin Anran all the time, they acted accordingly at a crucial point in time.
As Yin Anran’s angry shouts vanished into the elevator, Zhi Xiaoyin finally let out a relieved sigh. She feared that the conflict might worsen and hurriedly turned around to put in a good word for Yin Anran. However, her swift movement affected the injury on her waist, causing her to draw a sharp breath in response.
Hurriedly, Mu Yu took her arm. “I’ll send you to the hospital!”
“It’s okay! It’s not as serious as you thought.” Zhi Xiaoyin pushed her away with a forced smile. “Assistant Yin didn’t kick with much force anyway.”
“Hah! As if I would believe that. Stop fooling me. Let’s go.”
“I’m really fine!” Zhi Xiaoyin quickly changed the topic. “Madam, are you here for Boss?”
Mu Yu was instantly reminded of the purpose behind her visit and she hurriedly asked, “Where is he?”
“He went to the factory up north to handle the issue. That’s the same factory where the incident happened yesterday.”
“Oh. By the way, how are the injured workers doing in the hospital? Are they alright?”
Zhi Xiaoyin’s eyes widened in shock. “Didn’t you get the news?”
Confused, Mu Yu stared at her blankly. “What news?”
“There are four deaths among the six workers! The ones alive are still in the ICU! We still don’t know if they could make it!”
“Huh? Oh my god? Why did that happen? But Huan told me last night that…” In shock, Mu Yu immediately knew that Qin Jinhuan had been hiding the truth to avoid worrying her. “What do we do? So, is he at the factory to settle this?”
“No. To him, that’s not the priority right now,” Zhi Xiaoyin quickly explained. “Among the six workers, four of them are employees of the company and another two are family members. Among the four dead, three were company employees. The company provided accident coverage to all staff members, and the insurance company has come over to discuss the compensation. Sadly, the company had requested earlier that the two remaining families move out from the dorm; it was the two families who wanted to stay put until Lunar New Year. For this, they even made a verbal agreement with the factory leaders to absolve the company of all responsibilities in the event of an accident. Anyway, the company decided to shoulder all medical expenses out of compassion and compensate the family members for the deaths. That’s why we don’t have to worry about the protests from the families.”
Mu Yu was stunned. “Is there something more urgent than this?”
“Yeah.” Zhi Xiaoyin nodded. “Since there were many murder cases linked to the company, some wicked people started to spread rumors about the bad feng shui of Qing Tian Group, saying that more lives would be sacrificed for the killings to stop. They even claimed that the curse was now affecting the lower-level employees, scaring the construction workers away from reporting to work. All of them are demanding to receive their pay and leave the company. We’re on a tight schedule. If the workers leave, we can’t finish the project by time. Not only do we need to pay a penalty, the company’s reputation will be destroyed as well. You saw what happened just now, didn’t you? While the company staff is revolting, some factory workers are leaving in groups as well! Boss and President Wen are stressed out by that!”
“What does this have to do with feng shui?” Mu Yu was furious. “The incident at the dorm was purely an accident! It’s very clear that someone is stirring up trouble. Why can’t the employees see that?”
“Those who spread the rumors are playing on the aversion of death. Madam, earlier, Boss arranged for me and Assistant Yin…” Zhi Xiaoyin recalled the fight just now and hurriedly corrected herself, “He arranged for me to deal with any employee discontent. I’ll have to get busy.”
“Alright. Just go.” Mu Yu felt another strong gush of heat between her legs and promptly stopped walking. “I’ll return to his office to get some stuff.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll leave now.” Zhi Xiaoyin took a few steps forward but was reminded of something else. She turned around and said, “I think the reason everyone believes in the rumors is due to the fear of the three murder cases. The most urgent matter at hand is to get the cases solved.”
She almost blurted out, “You’re a forensic doctor. Please put in more effort to solve the case.” After all, she knew about Mu Yu’s pregnancy.
Mu Yu understood the unspoken words and nodded with a serious expression. “I will assist the police to solve the cases as soon as possible.”
Fearing that her comment might burden Mu Yu, the timid Zhi Xiaoyin frantically waved and tried to distance herself. “I didn’t say anything.”
Mu Yu could no longer hold back her laughter. Without saying anything else, she just sincerely thanked the innocent girl.
She could tell that Zhi Xiaoyin truly cared about the company’s future. Of course, she wanted to express her thanks to the secretary for taking Yin Anran’s attack for her. “If you have time, you need to get a checkup at the clinic. If it’s very serious, you need to visit the hospital. Just claim the expenses from the company.”
“Thank you for your concern, but I’m really fine.” Zhi Xiaoyin grinned. “Oh, right, Assistant Yin isn’t usually bad-tempered. She cares a lot about the company. Not only her, every single leader in the company has been in a bad mood in the past few days. Please don’t…”
“I get it,” Mu Yu cut her off with a friendly smile, but she was secretly snorting at the claim that Yin Anran cared a lot about the company. She smirked, Yin Anran probably only cares about Qin Jinhuan.
She slapped Yin Anran not because she got scolded. The reason was that she could not stand that Yin Anran was blindly arrogant and drunk with the idea that she was a person of importance to Qin Jinhuan. If the insolent woman was not disciplined, she would only act out more in the future.
Sigh! By the way, if it was not for Zhi Xiaoyin, I would have definitely been harmed. No way! I need to learn martial arts from a master for self-defense in the future.
Anyway, it was a fleeting thought that soon escaped her mind because she was concerned about Qin Jinhuan.
She cleaned after herself in the office washroom and hurried out with a dull period pain. At the same time, she kept making calls to Qin Jinhuan, but her two calls went unanswered. Undeterred, she tried to contact Wen Zeyu and Bian Zijun, but none of them picked up. This made her panic, so she decided to head straight toward the factory to the north of the city for inspection.
She got into a cab and was about to instruct the driver to head north when her phone buzzed. She saw that it was a call from Rong Jian, meaning that there was trouble at the office, and she hurriedly took the call.
“Yu, where are you now?”
“I’m at… Why?”
“There’s a new update in the case which I want to discuss with you.” His voice sounded hoarse and reflected the bad condition he was in. Mu Yu immediately guessed that disadvantageous evidence against Feng Rubing must have emerged. Feeling nervous, she agreed to head over and hung up. Next, she informed the driver to head to the city bureau.
At the same time, Yin Anran was standing by the French windows of her office, staring resentfully at the cab in front of the building.
In the past, she had never believed that Qin Jinhuan truly loved Mu Yu, thinking that his marriage with Mu Yu was only to cheer up his sick grandpa. Therefore, she was in disbelief when she heard about Mu Yu’s pregnancy yesterday. In fact, the pregnancy news was the reason that drove her to kick Mu Yu’s belly to verify if that woman was really pregnant.
To her surprise, that b*tch was really pregnant!
She imagined the scene where Qin Jinhuan was elated at the news of Mu Yu’s pregnancy, which made her even more irritated.
Looks like this b*tch is going to secure her place in the Qin Family by bearing a child!
Hmph, when she loses her child, her plans would be foiled!
With a wicked smile, Yin Anran took out her phone and dialed a number.
