City C
This was a small town very close to East Bridge. Back then, Zhao Yanni had been chased out of the Shu Family in Luo Hai. She had brought her handicapped child, Shu Xin 'er, and followed her lover to this place.
Men were useless. When they were in Luo Hai, they could still make a living by relying on the Shu Family. However, they did not know their place and seduced the woman from the main family.
Although he returned with the beauty in the end, he no longer had the face to stay in Luo Hai. When he returned to City C, he was no longer as good as Luo Hai. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he did not like the Zhao Family's mother and daughter anyway.
There was no way to know what Zhao Ruoxin's childhood was like. Mu Chenyan wanted to understand Zhao Ruoxin because of her various abnormalities.
Before she entered the Yuan Family, that woman had a relationship with Xia Tao.
Based on Xia Tao's infatuated look and age, when he hooked up with Zhao Ruoxin, Zhao Ruoxin should have been at least in junior high or senior high school, right?
It could be seen that Zhao Ruoxin was not a simple person at such a young age. Perhaps she had only used Xia Tao back then. Now that she had escaped unscathed, her life in the Yuan Family was still as smooth as before.
Mu Chenyan wanted to find some clues from her. At least, she could understand this woman's purpose of staying in the Yuan Family.
Moreover, there was also the Zong He tragedy. Even a ghost would not believe that it had nothing to do with her.
"Chenyan, where should we start investigating?"
Su Qingcheng was excited when she heard that Mu Chenyan wanted to investigate Zhao Ruoxin. After settling their luggage at the hotel, the two of them went out to look for something to eat. They chatted as they walked.
If they could obtain favorable information, perhaps the Zong He case could be resolved earlier. Wu Huai would not always look down on a female soldier like her. Therefore, Su Qingcheng seemed to be more anxious than Mu Chenyan.
"Qingcheng, using your identity as a police officer, can we retrieve all of Zhao Ruoxin's files from the public system? I want to figure out a clue and determine where to start. After all, our time is limited. "
Mu Chenyan was telling the truth. If she stayed outside for too long, she was afraid that the Almighty at home would give her a hard time again. In the worst-case scenario, he would come all the way to City C to drag her back.
Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible!
"That should be possible. However, even though I'm a criminal police officer, I'm not here in City C on official business. I'll need Wu Huai to inform our brother departments here."
Su Qingcheng saw that Mu Chenyan was frowning and knew that she had her reservations.
"I don't want the Yuan Family to know that I secretly came to City C to investigate behind Yuan Xuan's back. Do you understand?"
Mu Chenyan's words were spoken casually, but Su Qingcheng was quick-witted. She immediately understood that the relationship between Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan was not as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
"Alright then, I suggest that we start the investigation from her former classmates. When a person is young, they spend most of their time in school. The people who know her past and her classmates will definitely be the main clue."
As Su Qingcheng spoke, she pulled Mu Chenyan to a stop in front of a small restaurant. She pointed at the picture on the signboard and said, "Steamed fish, spicy rabbit head, Sichuan style. Do you like it?"
Mu Chenyan was not picky about food. However, Yuan Xuan's taste was too bland. It was indeed difficult to eat such stimulating and spicy food in the Yuan Family.
"Let's go. I'll risk my life to accompany you!" Mu Chenyan smiled slyly. In fact, she was also very greedy.
Su Qingcheng chuckled softly and dragged Mu Chenyan to a secluded private room.
The spicy set meal for two was accompanied by spicy rabbit head, mountain pepper chicken feet, and pickled pepper beef brisket. The two of them had a delightful feast.
When she came out, she felt that her lips had turned upwards. It was as if her red lips were not her own anymore.
Mu Chenyan had never eaten such spicy food before. It was really satisfying. She asked Su Qingcheng, "Aren't you from Jiangnan? How can you eat so much spicy food?"
Su Qingcheng chuckled. "I'm a Sichuan girl at heart!"
Su Qingcheng waved her hand when she saw that Mu Chenyan did not quite understand. She smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing. It's not worth mentioning!"
Su Qingcheng did not know that her spicy set meal would cause a huge disaster!
Midnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mu Chenyan only felt a sharp pain in her stomach. The chili that was rolling in her stomach made her want to die.
She got up and drank some hot water. After lying down for a while, the burning sensation did not subside at all. Instead, she felt that her stomach was rolling even more.
Mu Chenyan went to the bathroom and vomited all the food that she had eaten that night into the sink.
The commotion was too big and it startled Su Qingcheng.
"Wow! Chenyan, are you okay? " Mu Chenyan's face was deathly pale. Her lips were slightly trembling. After vomiting, she panted heavily and frowned. Su Qingcheng was also frightened when she saw this.
"I'll send you to the hospital!"
Other than the hospital, she really could not think of a good place to go at this time.
Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan change her clothes. She picked a set of sportswear for herself. Without saying anything, a woman with good stamina exerted her dominance and carried Mu Chenyan into the elevator.
The front desk of the hotel helped her to call a taxi. Mu Chenyan did not say a word along the way to reduce her pain. She secretly swore that she would never eat such spicy food again!
Mu Chenyan was really angry that she had to go to the hospital because she ate too much spicy food.
Fortunately, there were not many people queuing up at night. The doctor took a look at Mu Chenyan's condition and diagnosed her with acute gastroenteritis.
Su Qingcheng had an apologetic look on her face while she was in the emergency room. She said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made you eat so much spicy food!"
Mu Chenyan felt that Su Qingcheng was too concerned about it. She smiled and said, "Don't say that. I haven't had the time to thank you for accompanying me to City C to investigate Zhao Ruoxin's case. It's my own stomach that's not well. How can I blame you?"
The young nurse next to Mu Chenyan looked at her and flipped through the notebook in her hands. She asked in a low voice, "Mu Chenyan? Gastroenteritis? "
Mu Chenyan answered, "Yes!"
The young nurse glanced at Mu Chenyan. She was wearing a mask, so her face could not be seen. However, Mu Chenyan felt that she should be around the same age as her.
"After you're done with the transfusion, make sure to rest. It's best to stay here for an hour and observe before you leave!"
As she spoke, the young nurse took the items and left the transfusion room.
Su Qingcheng looked at her watch. "It's already past midnight. Why don't you stay here and sleep until the sun rises?"
Indeed, Mu Chenyan's stomach felt much more comfortable after the IV drip. Sleepiness hit her and she could not keep her eyes open.
The two women nestled on the bed in the outpatient clinic's infusion room and actually fell asleep peacefully.
Mu Chenyan did not even know when the nurse came in to remove the needle. It was enough to show how sound asleep she was.
In the morning, the number of people who came for treatment and fluid transfusion increased. The two of them were woken up by the noise. Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan up and said, "I'll bring you back to the hotel to have a good sleep."
Seeing that Mu Chenyan's face was pale, Su Qingcheng wanted to carry her on her back. However, Mu Chenyan refused. The two women tossed and turned until they reached the entrance of the hospital. They were about to flag a taxi when a white Toyota came out of the parking area and drove to their side. A woman wearing sunglasses peeked out of the car window and said to Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng, "Miss Mu, I can give you a ride!"
Mu Chenyan was stunned. She was sure that she did not know anyone in City C, but the other party actually addressed her as Miss Mu.
