Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Gain and Loss (1)
The police arrived at the Xiao Family residence and conducted an on-site investigation. Due to the severity of Dr. Lu’s condition, he was urgently sent to the hospital for gastric lavage. Just one spoonful of soup was almost deadly. This shows that the person who poisoned had malice to the extreme, intending to kill.
Uncle Tang couldn’t help but feel terrified as he forcefully recalled the past events. Indeed, it was Xiao Jianming who had arranged for the cook, and at that time, it seemed that Chairman Hong had mentioned the matter, as the cook was brought by Chairman Hong.
His negligence at work led to the big boss’s life being threatened, and Uncle Tang felt deeply ashamed. Just as he was about to get up to confront the cook in person,
The police were leading the cook down the stairs when she suddenly broke free from their grasp and directly leaped over the staircase railing.
Several people hurriedly rushed forward to catch her but failed to do so in time. Originally, everyone thought that falling from the second floor wouldn’t be fatal. Little did they know, the cook aimed to seek death to protect her master, plunging headfirst and hitting the stone sculpture placed at the bottom of the staircase, a hard impact directly on her head.
It’s truly said that if not dead, it’s brain-dead.
The crowd witnessing this scene was shocked, staring in disbelief, hearts pounding.
Zhao Mengjin furrowed her brows tightly. This young girl had previously lived a simple, safe and happy life. Too much had happened recently, leading her to have a changed perspective on the entire world.
Thinking that the cook didn’t really need to die, if she had surrendered herself and confessed about her mastermind, it wouldn’t have resulted in a death sentence. But unexpectedly, she insisted on protecting the person behind this at the cost of her life. This suggests there must be some unspeakable story hidden within.
She calmed herself, turned around, and walked back. As a sister, the concern for her younger brother was there.
Qingqing, being young, although she was kept in the room, it wasn’t clear if she heard anything.
When she gently opened the door, she saw inside that Zhao Mengqing, possibly out of boredom after she left, had her little head resting on the children’s desk, already fast asleep.
Zhao Mengjin turned her head, realizing that after a busy day, even Little Pudding hadn’t taken a nap. At this time, it was supposed to be the children’s bedtime. Pudding usually was a child who strictly adhered to rules, never missing bedtime by a minute.
Instantly, she felt endless tenderness and love for her brother.
Zhao Mengjin went over and picked up her sleeping brother, intending to put him on the bed. She stayed alert and glanced at the bed where the patient lay.
Her grandpa, lying still in bed, seemed completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Zhao Mengjin furrowed her delicate brows once again.
Carrying her brother to the next room, as she passed by the door, she met the Xiao housekeeper, Zhao Mengjin said, "Ask Professor Tang to come up and have him sleep in the same room with the young master tonight."
"Huh?" The Xiao housekeeper was surprised by her instruction.
"I need to stay in the chairman’s room tonight, so Qingqing needs someone to look after her."
Hearing Zhao Mengjin’s words, it seemed that she believed having a doctor to look after the child was the best option. However, as soon as she said it, it’s likely that a certain scheming professor’s face would have turned black.
A distinguished and renowned surgeon, ending up as the babysitter to look after a child sleeping?
In the end, Tang Sili did not refuse the eldest Miss Zhao’s suggestion. The reason was simple: being a doctor, he could see the true intention buried beneath her words.
She was actually afraid that he might flee after witnessing such a disastrous situation.
