Chapter 409: Who Did It? (Second Update)
President Ji used a half-coaxing, half-deceptive method to get the little perks he wanted, and he was in an even better mood.Le Tong blushed for a while but did not blame him. After all, she and he were now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and intimate actions like kissing and hugging were something she had to slowly get used to and adapt to.
Plus, to be honest, the feeling of being kissed by him wasn’t actually unpleasant.
Inside the ward, there was none of the eerie atmosphere that should belong to a hospital room. On the contrary, the whole room was filled with a pink bubble atmosphere.
Then, Baobao, brought by Luo Yuanyuan, rushed to the bedside as soon as he entered and touched Ji Rui’s face worriedly. "Daddy, does it hurt a lot?"
Ji Rui smiled and shook his head, "Daddy’s fine, don’t worry, Baobao!"
Baobao couldn’t help but feel strange. According to what Yuanyuan said, Daddy got injured and had surgery, but the Daddy lying on the hospital bed seemed not hurt at all. On the contrary, he was looking very spirited.
Baobao turned his head to look at the slightly blushing Mommy sitting on the sofa, then looked at the eye-catching smile on Daddy’s face on the bed, and vaguely, seemed to understand something.
"Daddy, you and Mommy are..."
Baobao raised two thumbs, touching them together.
How could Ji Rui not understand his beloved son’s meaning? He smiled and nodded.
Knowing Daddy and Mommy had finally reconciled, Baobao was overjoyed and chatted ceaselessly to Le Tong and Ji Rui until the doctor came in and said they needed to push Ji Rui to the examination room for a full-body check-up. Only then did Baobao remember his daddy was a patient, and he said pitifully to a familiar nurse sister, "Sister, please be gentle when you give Daddy the injection!"
Having stayed in the hospital for such a long time himself, he had become almost numb to injections. Back then, doctors and nurses praised his bravery, but from what he said now, the little guy probably was in a lot of pain at the time but gritted his teeth and endured it.
Ji Rui was pushed into the examination room, he didn’t let Le Tong follow but let Xiao Li go in with him.
"President, that person refuses to say anything, also claiming he has a mental illness and was not in the right mind at the time."
While the doctor was examining Ji Rui, Xiao Li stood aside and quietly reported the police’s situation to Ji Rui.
"Hmm, how is it being handled now?"
"The police can only continue after the person’s examination report comes out." Xiao Li answered truthfully.
"Have you started investigating what I asked you to?"
A sharp light flickered in Ji Rui’s slightly squinted eyes.
Things definitely wouldn’t be that simple...
"Hmm, I talked to Special Assistant Yang. He said he would handle the issues concerning the second and third young masters. As for the old chairman..."
Xiao Li looked troubled as he spoke up to this point.
"I’ll investigate that myself."
...
The nurse pushed Ji Rui back. As soon as they entered the ward, the doctor said to Le Tong, "Mrs. Ji, try to persuade Mr. Ji."
Already too tired to argue over titles, Le Tong stood up, stared at Ji Rui, and wondered what this man was up to again?
"With his current condition, what he needs most is to rest quietly in the hospital, not to be discharged. No matter how important work is, it’s not as important as his health!" The doctor said disapprovingly.
Le Tong looked carefully at Ji Rui, noticing the man’s complexion was slightly better than yesterday. In front of so many people, she couldn’t reproach him, so she just turned to the doctor and said.
"Doctor Fan, thank you! I will try to persuade him!"
Once the medical staff left, Le Tong had Luo Yuanyuan take Baobao out for a walk. With just her and Ji Rui left in the room, she then sat by the bed, looked into the man’s eyes, and asked.
"Why are you so eager to get discharged?"
This man wanted to be discharged; it might not just be for work-related reasons.
"Le Tong, this time, it wasn’t an accident."
Initially, Ji Rui didn’t intend to tell Le Tong the truth about this matter. But Le Tong wasn’t someone who could be easily deceived, so rather than letting her imagination run wild, it was better to tell her the truth.
Sure enough, as he expected, Le Tong’s face remained exceptionally calm after hearing this.
"You mean, this was premeditated?"
"Yes."
"Who did it?" Le Tong asked.
Ji Rui shook his head, "It’s not certain yet, maybe it was the old man, or his two beloved sons, or maybe it was CoCo, or perhaps the Yang Family..."
Le Tong’s expression went from calm to gradually surprised.
"The old chairman... and the Yang Family..."
These two possibilities seemed a bit unbelievable to Le Tong.
Ji Rui’s lips curled with a teasing smile, but his face was full of bitterness, "If it weren’t for confirming it, I would really think I’m not his biological son."
Le Tong was even more surprised, extending her hand to hold his large hand resting on the blanket.
"It’s quite laughable, isn’t it? After my mom died, I had someone take my and his hair for a DNA test, you know? I would rather I weren’t his biological son!"
If, if he weren’t that man’s biological son, he could ruthlessly take him and his two biological sons to hell to accompany his mother!
Le Tong held his hand tightly, wanting to say something to comfort him but unable to find the right words.
She knew better than anyone that in the face of such a tragedy, any words would seem extremely feeble and powerless.
"He thought CoCo could help his two beloved sons escape punishment, but unfortunately, that woman isn’t easy to deal with. She hit a wall with me, and how could she possibly let him feel good?"
After being harshly rejected by him, CoCo returned to Y Country and promptly provided the police with more evidence. Now, those two guys will probably spend the rest of their lives in prison. Ji Rui’s tone was extremely calm, as if he were talking about matters that had nothing to do with him.
But Le Tong knew he was actually feeling quite uncomfortable inside because, the big hand she held gripped hers tightly without realizing it. Her hand was numb and hurt, but she made no sound, nor did she have the intention to pull her hand away.
"The old man, having his weakness grasped by her, turned around and joined forces with her to deal with me."
It was only then that Le Tong understood why Ji Rui had seemed especially busy lately; he had been dealing with the hornet’s nests deliberately stirred up by the old chairman?
"If there’s anything I can do, just instruct me, although I am not as capable as my senior brother, I’ll try my best!"
At this moment, Le Tong only hated herself for being just a secretary and not being able to help him share more burden.
"Hmm, I will!" Ji Rui was not polite at all.
"As for the Yang Family..." Ji Rui hesitated a bit before saying, "The family situation on Yang Sheng’s side is more complicated than mine, and his return this time was also out of necessity. A month ago, I stepped in to help him smooth some things out, now someone in the Yang Family sees me as a thorn in their side."
With his explanation, Le Tong basically understood everything.
