Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Never Expected Meng Yibing to Confess So Readily!

Jiang Chengxu was terrified, while Manman’s eyes lit up. She knew the prominence of the Jiang Family in Yan City, but she didn’t expect this person to disregard even the Jiang Family, indicating his family background.

The current issue is how to find an opportunity.

Her gaze inevitably fell on Xu Qinghuan. Xu Qinghuan actually knew such people, and it was likely thanks to the Lu Family that Xu Qinghuan received face from him. Indeed, having a mother who remarried into a prestigious family had its benefits.

Lu Nianying hurriedly rushed over, and upon seeing Huo Chi, her eyes nearly popped out, "H-Huo Chi, why are you here?"

Huo Chi glanced sidelong at Lu Nianying, not knowing her and not interested in engaging.

"Huo"?

Jiang Chengxu’s legs went weak, nearly sitting on the ground. How did Xu Qinghuan know someone from the Huo Family?

Since she was so familiar with Huo Chi, why was she engaged to Jiang Xingye?

To marry into the Huo Family would be like reaching the pinnacle of success.

If he hadn’t broken off the engagement with Xu Qinghuan, just with her connection to Huo Chi, what difficulties would they face in returning to the city?

"Comrade Xu, it’s up to you now!" Shao Lizhong said, wanting to personally witness Xu Qinghuan’s skills.

"I’ll try!" Xu Qinghuan modestly replied, but she was quite assertive in her actions. She was about to strip Meng Yibing’s clothes when Jiang Xingye stopped her, "Let me do it!"

Xu Qinghuan didn’t like undressing others, unless it was Jiang Xingye. She stepped aside, sterilizing the silver needles, and then proceeded to perform acupuncture on Meng Yibing.

Her hands moved like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, graceful and fluid, pleasing to watch. Each acupuncture point was precise, a skill that Shao Lizhong thought couldn’t be achieved without twenty or thirty years of dedicated practice.

It’s only fair to say that some people have extraordinary talent, blessed by the heavens.

Truly enviable!

Huo Chi, having watched Xu Qinghuan’s performance and then seeing Shao Lizhong’s expression, had a clear understanding in his heart.

After performing acupuncture, Xu Qinghuan wrote a prescription. As she was about to fetch the medicine, Shao Lizhong reached out to take it, reading it thoroughly and was completely convinced.

"Comrade Xu, were you learning medicine while still in your mother’s womb?" Shao Lizhong asked jealously, impressed by the exquisite balance of the prescription components.

Xu Qinghuan laughed at the jest, "Is it... difficult?"

Shao Lizhong was so angry he nearly jumped, difficult?

Who doesn’t know that studying medicine is difficult, especially traditional Chinese medicine, which sees the human body as a microcosm where the five elements interact with each other, embodying the mysteries of heaven and earth. Without a very strong knowledge base and profound comprehension, one can’t even step through the door.

And studying medicine isn’t like other fields; lacking skills means not curing and saving people but harming them instead.

So this young lady is truly exasperating.

Xu Qinghuan went next door to get the medicine, and Shao Lizhong didn’t follow. When it was time to decoct the medicine, Jiang Xingye took over the task.

As Meng Yibing was about to awaken, Jiang Chengxu was seized by a sense of fear and found a way to escape.

Xu Qinghuan noticed at a glance, "Jiang Zhiqing, where are you going?"

Previously, Jiang Baohua had detained all the onlookers, assigning someone to watch them. Later, when the police arrived, he couldn’t intervene, and since it was time to go to work in the morning, he didn’t arrange anyone to supervise them. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

But the other educated youths were at ease, happy to stay behind, avoiding work and having a show to watch.

When Jiang Chengxu tried to leave, Xu Hongtu was anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Knowing he had stumbled, he also planned to sneak away.

At Xu Qinghuan’s words, two policemen who had come along apprehended the two of them, "Behave yourselves, you’ll be allowed to leave when the time comes."

The two wore expressions of hopelessness, as if their souls had left their bodies.

After taking a bowl of medicine, a while later, the deathly aura on Meng Yibing’s face completely dissipated. Although still very pale, he at least came back to life.

For an ordinary patient, Xu Qinghuan would naturally wait for him to awaken slowly, but with someone like Meng Yibing, who had malicious intents, she disregarded such considerations, jabbing him awake with a needle.

This was actually detrimental to the patient’s recovery, harming vitality.

Meng Yibing opened his eyes to see two people in military uniforms and immediately rolled his eyes, failing to faint again.

"It wasn’t me; someone else sent me. I was wrong. I only came because I was persuaded to destroy Xu Zhiqing’s reputation. Please forgive me, I won’t dare again!"

To think Meng Yibing confessed so readily!

At this moment, Jiang Chengxu appeared utterly foolish, his face ashen, cold sweating profusely, as if his soul had been extracted.

"We are the police. Tell us everything you know. Confession brings leniency, resistance brings severity!" Peng Yutao stated.

Meng Yibing trembled with fear, "I confess, I confess! I fell in love with Xu Zhiqing at first sight. I heard she was engaged, so I thought, thought, if I was with her like that, and cooked rice into something more, she would have no choice but to break off the engagement and be with me!"

Jiang Xingye, knowing it was indeed this, still couldn’t help but rush forward. Xu Qinghuan held him back, "Aye, he’s dreaming!"

Jiang Xingye’s eyes were bloodshot, gripping Xu Qinghuan’s shoulders tightly, "Huanhuan, you can’t... even if... you can’t break off the engagement with me!"

"I know, I know, alright, don’t be angry, it won’t happen, I promise!" Xu Qinghuan gently patted his back, and Jiang Xingye finally relaxed slowly, pushing back his emotions.

Meng Yibing, not knowing what had happened, only said, "It was Jiang Chengxu who told me, yes, he encouraged me. He said Jiang Xingye wasn’t worthy of Xu Zhiqing, and as long as I did this and that, Xu Zhiqing would definitely be with me."

Now, Meng Yibing only wanted to reduce his own crime, pulling in whoever he could.

Jiang Chengxu was enraged, "You’re lying, these were all your words!"

Meng Yibing hastily replied, "Clearly, it was you who encouraged me, and you told me Xu Zhiqing was often alone at the clinic, where there’s a bed."

Jiang Chengxu pretended to be friendly with Meng Yibing. From Meng Yibing’s perspective, he thought he’d received advice after expressing interest in Xu Qinghuan, but from Xu Qinghuan’s perspective, Meng Yibing fell into Jiang Chengxu’s trap.

All this was likely Jiang Chengxu’s scheme; he was deeply manipulative, unscrupulous, and plotting, like a snake lurking in the shadows, nearly impossible to guard against.

How Jiang Chengxu knew Meng Yibing should have a heart attack remains unknown and irrelevant since, after Meng Yibing drank the drug-laced medicinal wine, if Jiang Xingye acted, even if Meng Yibing didn’t die, he would be severely injured, and Jiang Xingye would still bear legal responsibility.

Peng Yutao asked, "Who did you drink with yesterday?"

Meng Yibing thought for a moment, "Yesterday, I drank with no one, just had some to build courage by myself."

Yesterday, a woman in their production team experienced difficult labor, and the midwife didn’t dare take action. The family intended to invite a doctor from the health clinic, but Meng Yibing suggested that the Shangjiang Team’s doctor, who had come from the county hospital, was excellent, prompting the family to quickly go fetch Xu Qinghuan.

Originally, he planned to act midway, but thinking of Xu Qinghuan’s tender skin, afraid of hurting her in the maize, and because it would be their first time, he didn’t want Xu Qinghuan to suffer.

Most importantly, he recalled Jiang Chengxu saying that the clinic was usually deserted, and if he wanted to find Xu Qinghuan, it was best to wait at the clinic.

Sure enough, he nervously followed all the way, and upon seeing Xu Qinghuan alone at the clinic, he could no longer restrain himself.

At that moment, his heartbeat was rapid, like a drum, nearly bursting out of his chest, while visions appeared before his eyes, and his mind became unclear.
