Chapter 450: Chapter 338: Heaven Spared Guo Tong, But Not Her

"Then why would the thermos be swapped?"

"I think it might be due to nervousness. Generally, people tend to get a bit nervous when committing a crime."

Wu Rong said this, but after speaking, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath...

"What’s wrong?"

"With this level of evidence and motive, if the suspect stubbornly denies it, it’s actually hard to convict. The evidence is indirect, the motive is a bit far-fetched. The cost of the crime is too high. I think with the suspect’s age and experience, there’s no need to do such a thing."

"So you think... it’s not Mrs. Huang?"

Yin Shixiu asked.

On the phone, Wu Rong replied,

"I hope it’s Mrs. Huang; that way, the case would be considered resolved. But because the evidence is insufficient, I have to make other assumptions. If it was a coincidence that Mrs. Huang swapped the thermos, and she was the one who brewed and delivered the medicine, it doesn’t mean that nobody else could have tampered with it. In the Yin Family’s house alone, there are dozens of people among the servants, gardeners, and drivers. Everyone is a suspect and needs to be eliminated one by one."

"When Guo Tong first arrived at the Yin Family, he offended quite a few people. Just based on this, investigating will not be easy."

"Wait a minute."

Yin Shixiu interrupted Wu Rong and said,

"You just mentioned assuming Mrs. Huang swapped the thermos by coincidence... What if we assume now that Mrs. Huang swapping the thermos was inevitable?"

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for quite a while; Yin Shixiu’s words seemed to have startled Wu Rong.

"If Mrs. Huang swapping the thermos was inevitable, what was it for?"

"To make it seem like Mrs. Huang or someone else wanted to harm Guo Tong, not Xiao Meng."

Yin Shixiu said quietly, his gaze growing deeper and deeper.

"Why create such an illusion?"

Wu Rong asked, but after asking, he already had a conclusion in his heart.

Both of them were smart, no need to lay it out clearly. By now, the focus had already shifted in another direction.

"Minister Wu, both assumptions are possible. Please, no matter what, take care of this matter."

Wu Rong agreed and hung up the phone.

Yin Shixiu pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed in the distance...

Everything has a cause.

If even Mrs. Huang’s motive isn’t strong enough, why would Guo Tong go to such lengths?

This was something Yin Shixiu couldn’t figure out even after thinking about it all night.

He subconsciously felt that Mrs. Huang wouldn’t go that far... but the other assumption was even more far-fetched.

In the evening, Xiao Meng woke up again, and Yin Shixiu gave her a little water.

Doctor Jiang came over to change her medication and give her an IV drip.

The director also made a special trip; Su Xiaomeng had become the primary care focus.

"Everything’s normal. Pain is normal. If it becomes unbearable, tell Doctor Jiang to increase the pain medication. But painkillers have side effects; endure it if you can."

"Thank you..."

Su Xiaomeng said flatly.

The director sighed,

"Mrs. Yin, you don’t need to say thank you. The fact you survived, we all have to thank you."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng was somewhat baffled.

The director glanced at Yin Shixiu, then gently patted Xiao Meng’s blanket,

"No need for such polite words with Uncle Director. Just focus on getting well. We couldn’t save your child, and Uncle Director already feels very guilty..."

Speaking of the child, a shadow flickered through Xiao Meng’s eyes.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. At this moment, Doctor Jiang received a call, seemingly from the hospital’s HR department.

They said the director’s phone couldn’t be reached and asked Doctor Jiang if the director was with him.

Doctor Jiang replied,

"The director and I are with Mrs. Yin. What’s wrong? What? ... It’s just an intern, let him go. Do they need to tell the director for something like this?"

The director turned his head to look at Doctor Jiang,

"What happened?"

Doctor Jiang answered honestly,

"It’s another intern, handed in a resignation letter to HR and left. From this batch of interns, it’s not just one or two who’ve left, but they insisted on informing you."

"Which one is it this time?"

"That old Xiao!"

As soon as Doctor Jiang finished speaking, the director’s eyebrows twitched, seemingly a bit angry,

"He can’t be allowed to leave! If he leaves, how will I explain to the former director?!"

"..."

Doctor Jiang blinked, wondering what it had to do with the former director...

Seeing the director anxious with matters to handle, Yin Shixiu said,

"If you have something to attend to, please go ahead."

The director nodded, patted Yin Shixiu’s shoulder,

"Alright, if anything comes up, look for Doctor Jiang. Doctor Jiang is on duty tonight."

After the director left hurriedly, Doctor Jiang also preferred not to linger, excusing himself,

"These interns, not a single one of them is easy to manage. Mr. Yin, Mrs. Yin, if you need anything, ring for me!"
