Wu Mei narrowed her eyes and grabbed his wrist instead. With a little force, she swapped their positions.
Lin Liguo felt a little dizzy. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the pond was dark. He was so frightened as his center of gravity became unsteady and he staggered.
When Wu Mei saw his actions, she sneered and pulled his scarf back. She looked at Lin Liguo, who was kneeling on the ground and panting heavily, as she asked, “Why did you hurt Bi Fang? Where are the murder weapon and the stolen goods?”
Lin Liguo came to his senses and gritted his teeth, refusing to admit it. He wanted to stand up and take the opportunity to counterattack, but Wu Mei kicked the gravel on the ground. She raised her hand and caught them before smashing them onto the back of his head. Lin Liguo fainted, and Wu Mei kicked his limp body into the pond.
Plop!
Water splashed out from the pond. Wu Mei opened the suitcase, put the cash in the backpack that she had prepared beforehand, and threw the suitcase in beside Lin Liguo. Wu Mei looked at the countless leeches that were sticking to his body and sucking his blood, revealing his rotund body under the moonlight.
She erased all traces at the scene and left with an indifferent gaze.
In the Li Family’s villa, Wu Mei changed her clothes and went to Bi Fang’s room. She pushed open the door and looked at the patient who was eating porridge. She then threw the backpack into his arms. Bi Fang’s health had been recovering quite well recently. He lowered his head and saw the pink banknotes in the bag which had not been tightly zipped. His eyes widened in shock.
“What is this?”
Bi Fang lowered his head and bit on her zipper to pull it. When he saw the bag full of cash, he was so frightened that he lowered his voice and asked, “You went to rob someone?”
Wu Mei examined his vital signs and recovery stats. When she saw Bi Fang’s strong reaction, she explained in a disdainful and perfunctory manner, “Just now, I went to find the tenant who threw the baby around. This is compensation for their negligence.”
“You’re temporarily unable to practice medicine because of them, after all. Keep the compensation for your mental health,” Wu Mei languidly replied. Bi Fang’s lips twitched. He had 10,000 doubts about the reason she gave and he didn’t believe her at all.
Putting aside whether the fallen metal infant existed, just the fact that there were no surveillance cameras nearby that could be used as evidence meant that the other party would definitely not obediently compensate him. Bi Fang secretly sized up Wu Mei. Sensing some chilliness from her, he guessed that she must have gone to threaten the other party!
“I… I’m not short of money. You don’t have to do this.”
Bi Fang was a little touched, but uttering words of gratitude felt exceptionally mushy. He could only say awkwardly, “I’m bedridden. Even if I accept this money, I won’t have anywhere to spend it. Why don’t I give it to you as the medical fees for my treatment?”
“Even though your medical skills aren’t worth that much money!” Bi Fang nagged, but Wu Mei had no intention of paying attention to him. She simply used a little force to touch his wound. When she heard him gasp, she looked up and said lightly, “You’re so noisy…”
“If you have the stamina to argue with me, why don’t you hurry up and do rehabilitation?”
“When your job is completely snatched away by that quack outside, this bit of money probably won’t be enough for you to spend for the rest of your life. Don’t decline,” Wu Mei berated Bi Fang angrily. Unable to refute these words, he quietly performed the muscle rehabilitation training for his leg. The moment the door was closed, he let out a sigh of relief.

The next day, Wu Mei sat in the living room and calculated that it was about time. She looked up and pretended to casually mention to Li Nanchen, “The scenery in the pond in the backyard seems to be quite nice. Why don’t we get the butler to get someone to tidy and renovate it? When Bi Fang’s health recovers, we can have a picnic there.”
“Appropriate outdoor activity will help with his psychological reconstruction. What do you think?”
Li Nanchen raised his brows and called for the butler to do as Wu Mei instructed. He added, “You can make your own decision regarding the villa. You don’t have to discuss it with me. It’s the same with the Corporation… As long as it’s mine, you can do as you please with it.”
In a good mood, Wu Mei’s lips curled up into a smile. She smiled and nodded.
Half an hour later, two screams could be heard from the pond in the backyard. Li Nanchen instantly sat up nervously and shielded Wu Mei behind him. He looked outside warily, but Wu Mei’s eyes were calm.
The maids looked at the person, who had been fished out of the pond, in fear. There were leeches stuck to Lin Liguo’s face, making it difficult for them to recognize him.
The butler got someone to drag the half-dead Lin Liguo back and threw him onto the floor of the living room.
