Jiang Jingchen didn’t expect the perpetrator to be so vicious as to put such harmful things in the bird’s nest.
If his wife ate it and became addicted, it would seriously affect the rest of her
life!
He sent Tang Beibei to school and went to investigate the matter himself.
He took the report and did not go to Uncle Zhang. Instead, he went to find Mrs.
Zhang first.
Mrs. Zhang saw Jiang Jingchen visit her suddenly and welcomed him uneasily.
Jiang Jingchen looked at Mrs. Zhang’s house. It was a small bungalow with a large farm area. The surroundings were clean and the farm tools were neatly arranged.
From these details, he could tell that Mrs. Zhang was a law-abiding person.
He retracted his gaze. He did not want to waste time and asked her about the
bird’s nest.
Mrs. Zhang remembered the man’s words and smiled. “It’s just a little token of my appreciation. Please don’t mind.”
“Then, do you know what’s in the bird’s nest?
“Isn’t it just bird’s nest?” Mrs. Zhang was confused.
“Do you know that there are Chinese herbs added to it?”
■■Oh, there’s also Chinese herbs in the bird’s nest. It’s probably to regulate the body. That’s pretty good.”
Jiang Jingchen stared at her sharply, not missing any of her expressions.
Seeing that she didn’t feel guilty at all, he was actually slightly pleased and
very curious.
“Where did you buy this bird’s nest? Did you know that there was also two thousand yuan in the package?”
“The money in the package, yes, we gave that to your wife to thank her for saving my son’s life. Please don’t mind it.
“Then, where did the bird’s nest come from?”
“I bought it at a mall.”
“How much was it?”
“How much?”
Mrs. Zhang was stunned. How would she know how much the bird’s nest cost?
Jiang Jingchen saw her confusion and narrowed his eyes. “Didn’t you buy it?”
“Yes, yes. It’s not expensive. Why are you asking?”
“Was it 200?”
“Yes, yes, it was 200.”
Jiang Jingchen revealed a mocking smile. The bird’s nest she gave them was high-end and cost more than 800 yuan.
Bird’s nest that cost more than 800 yuan was beyond Mrs. Zhang’s spending level. However, she took his 200-yuan suggestion. She clearly did not buy the
bird’s nest.
“Mrs. Zhang, where did the bird’s nest really come from?”
“I bought it.”
“Did you know that the bird’s nest you gave us could kill people?”
“Huh?” Mrs. Zhang was stunned, and her eyes widened in fear. ”1 didn’t know that the bird’s nest could harm people.”
“My wife saved your son’s life, but you want to harm her. Mrs. Zhang, tell me honestly where the bird’s nest came from. If you don’t, I’ll call the police now and your entire family will suffer!”
His tone was harsh and intimidating. Mrs. Zhang was so scared that her legs went weak, and she waved her hands and begged for mercy, “No, I didn’t harm anyone. Mr. Jiang, don’t call the police!”
“The bird’s nest was given to us by a man. That man said that he was your relative and had to leave urgently, so he gave us the bird’s nest and 2,000 yuan.
I really didn’t expect it to contain harmful ingredients.”
“Are you lying to me? I’ll sue you with this bird’s nest. I’ll make sure you go to jail!” Jiang Jingchen threatened.
Why did he find Mrs. Zhang first?
Because Mrs. Zhang was mentally more fragile, and it would be easier to get a confession out of her.
“Don’t, please don’t. I’m telling the truth. It was a man in a black hat. He was the one who gave us the bird’s nest. I really didn’t mean you any harm. Uncle
Zhang can testify for me.”
Mrs. Zhang cried and went to find Uncle Zhang.
When Uncle Zhang heard that the bird’s nest was harmful, his face turned pale, and he quickly said to Jiang Jingchen, “We met that man outside the gated community. That man knows you. He said that he’s your relative and that you are in conflict. He was afraid that you wouldn’t accept the gift, so he asked us for help. I really didn’t know that the bird’s nest was bad.”
Jiang Jingchen stared at the two of them. “A man in a black hat? Give me a detailed description, and I’ll take you to find him.
Uncle Zhang nodded repeatedly. “Yes, we must find him. How could he deliberately hurt someone?”
Jiang Jingchen drove them back to the gated community. He checked the surveillance footage, but he didn’t find any man in a black hat. He also checked the traffic surveillance, but there were no clues.
The perpetrator seemed to be an old hand who knew how to tamper with surveillance footages.
Jiang Jingchen stared at Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang was so scared that he hunched over and hung his head, not daring to say a word.
Uncle Zhang had been through a lot in his life and had met many people.
But this was the first time he met someone like Jiang Jingchen who could frighten someone with just a look.
He must be quite a ruthless character with his sharp gaze.
‘Til definitely investigate this matter. You’d better cooperate.
Uncle Zhang nodded. “Yes, yes, we will definitely cooperate!
After he let Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Zhang go, Jiang Jingchen contacted Ji Yi and asked him to continue with the investigation.
He would not tolerate anyone trying to harm his wife!
Because Ruan Qi was sick, Tang Beibei went to visit her at the hospital again after school with Fu Jin.
In the ward, Ruan Qi was eating and scrolling through her phone. She said to them, “Beibei, look. Unflattering photos of the Third Young Miss of the Jiang family hanging out with a few men at a nightclub.
The last time Ruan Qi met Jiang Minghua, she did not have a good impression of her. When she saw news about her, she was happy to join in the gossip.
Tang Beibei glanced at her phone. It was news about Jiang Minghua.
She didn’t expect Jiang Minghua to be so wild when she was overseas. She was indeed a daughter of a rich family, the way she squandered her money as she pleased.
Tang Beibei snorted coldly at the thought of how she had bullied her husband.
Evil people would receive retribution, hmph!
The few of them chatted about Jiang Minghua for a while before Tang Beibei asked Ruan Qi how she was feeling.
Ruan Qi stretched lazily. She had been lying in bed all day until her back ached. But the doctor told her that she had to be observed for at least one more day before she could be discharged.
Tang Beibei checked her pulse and found that she was indeed better than in the morning.
Ruan Qi patted her stomach in disgust. “It’s only been two months. I had a nightmare and was so scared that I was hospitalized. This baby would definitely be a coward in the future.”
Tang Beibei wanted to laugh. “The coward is probably the mother. You had a nightmare. What can a two-month-old baby know? He has at most developed some ears.”
Ruan Qi glared at her. “We’ll still be friends if you keep this a secret.”
Tang Beibei made a face and found an excuse to push all the blame to the baby, saying that she was just worried about her future godchild.
Fu Jin bought a bouquet of flowers for Ruan Qi and placed it on the bedside table. “If your health isn’t good, take a leave of absence.
Ruan Qi pinched her now chubby face. “I want to attend classes with Beibei.” Song Zhou glanced at her. “Why didn’t I see you care so much about classes when you weren’t pregnant?”
Ruan Qi clicked her tongue. “That was in the past. I’ll have to give the baby prenatal education now. The intelligence of your Song baby will depend on me now. Don’t mock me.”
Song Zhou smiled and raised his hands in surrender. “Alright, alright. It all depends on you now. I won’t stop you from studying.
Although the two of them were bickering, it was all very sweet.
Tang Beibei then said with a smile, “Qiqi wants to give prenatal education. I’ll go to the library and get her a few books.”
Ruan Qi, who didn’t like to read, pursed her lips and wanted to cry.
She said to Song Zhou pitifully, “It’s a little difficult to read. Why don’t we make do with a silly and sweet baby? That’s not bad too.”
Song Zhou was speechless.
The doctor came to check on Ruan Qi and said that her emotions had stabilized. He said that she could be discharged but she must keep a happy mood in the future.
Song Zhou went to take care of Ruan Qi’s discharge procedures. Fu Jin followed him out and said to him, “Ruan Qi’s mother has been looking for her. Looking at Ruan Qi’s condition, it’s best if they don’t meet.
Song Zhou was surprised. “Did her mother make trouble again?
Fu Jin said, “She went to school and found our teacher. The teacher asked me about it, so I told him. But if Ruan Qi’s mother insists on bringing her home, there’ll definitely be chaos..”
