Chapter 329: Chapter 329: He’ll Remember This Grudge
The lead officer looked average, but his eyes were clear and righteous. As he approached,
his gaze fell directly on the young men lying on the ground. His brow furrowed slightly, and then he snorted coldly. "Who did this?"
The young men all shook their heads. They had been put up to this today, but they had no idea who was actually behind it.
Only their boss knew, but he was currently unconscious. To make matters worse, that person had viciously called the police.
It was obvious the goal was to get both parties thrown in jail. The young men weren’t idiots, and having figured this out, they were even more reluctant to say anything.
Su Shuochi saw that the young men weren’t going to tell the truth, which was perfect, as he had no intention of letting the other party get their way.
He sat in his wheelchair, unhurriedly brushing non-existent dust from his clothes.
With a nonchalant air, he said, "Our car was just passing by. We saw them rolling around on the ground and thought we’d ask if they needed us to take them to the hospital."
"Do you take me for a fool? They’re clearly black and blue from a group brawl," one of the officers snapped.
He was Jiang Ruyan’s cousin. He had received a call from his cousin telling him to come here and arrest a man in sunglasses.
But there was no one here wearing sunglasses. More importantly, he didn’t see any thugs wielding iron rods.
"Officer, we really don’t know them. The only ones injured are our own brothers, so how could it be a group brawl?"
one of the young men said pitifully, not forgetting to shoot a look at his companions.
"Officer, we really weren’t fighting. Our big brother had a little too much to drink, and he’s still drunk. I think he’s passed out."
"If you weren’t in a group fight, then how did you all get injured?" the lead officer asked sternly.
"We got hurt when we fell while drinking together. These three gentlemen were really just passing by and kindly asked if we needed help."
The officer who had spoken before said with a voice thick with scorn and contempt, "You’re all beaten black and blue, and you still won’t confess the truth?"
The young men were even more terrified and dared not tell the truth. They decided it was better to just swallow the loss in silence.
"We already said we fell! Is it against the law to get bruised and swollen from a fall?"
’If we rat out that fake cripple, they’ll find out a dozen of us were about to beat him to death with iron rods. We’d rot in jail for sure!’
"Officer, it’s just as they said. Are people not allowed to get hurt from falling down now?"
"As for how they got injured, the three of us really didn’t see. When we passed by, they were already like this."
Although Fu Junyuan had never been a gangster, he’d been a rich playboy for a long time and had his fair share of dealings with the police.
"Officers, could you please move them aside? They’re blocking our way and we’re in a hurry. You can interrogate them at your leisure later."
When the lead officer heard Fu Junyuan, he thought it made sense. "Did you three participate in the fight?"
"We didn’t. If we’re lying, may lightning strike us dead," Geng Haoyi and Fu Junyuan said in unison.
The two of them truly hadn’t participated. By the time they got out of the car and walked over, the fight was already over.
"Since you three weren’t involved, you can leave," the leader said.
Su Shuochi had only said a few words at the beginning. Afterward, he acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, with no intention of speaking again.
’I’ve extricated myself from the situation. Now I’ll just wait and see what tricks that mother-daughter duo from the Gu Family can pull!’
’As for this gang of youngsters, do they really think they’re so innocent?’
’Whether they end up in jail will depend on their own skills. The greatest mercy I can show is not pressing charges against them.’
He then signaled Geng Haoyi with his eyes to push him back to the car, ready to leave. The main reason was to avoid any further embarrassment.
Jiang Ruyan’s cousin scanned the crowd and recognized Geng Haoyi and Fu Junyuan.
’This guy in the wheelchair has a powerful presence, but he’s probably not the one my cousin wants arrested.’
Besides, his captain had given the order, so he didn’t stop Su Shuochi and his two friends from leaving.
Seeing the "fake cripple" leave, the young men let out a visible sigh of relief.
"Officer, we weren’t fighting either. We just drank too much and fell, that’s why we’re bruised and swollen," a young man said meekly.
"Officer, we don’t know if our big brother passed out from being drunk or from the fall. Could you please be so kind as to take him to the hospital?"
As Su Shuochi settled into the car, he could still hear the young men chattering away, begging the officers for help.
He glanced back once, then urged Geng Haoyi to drive faster. ’I’ll remember this debt from Gu the Second’s family.’
He still had to go supervise the painters and make sure they worked quickly. It would be best if he could move in by tonight.
By the time Gu Jiaojiao and the others finished their meal, it was nearly five in the afternoon. She then took Mu Ziquan to the hospital for a blood test and a full-body check-up.
A faint smile remained on Mu Ziquan’s face the entire time. Occasionally, he would look at Gu Jiaojiao and say a few words in a soft, gentle voice.
This gentle, jade-like, scholarly appearance of his nearly made Xia Qiuming’s jaw drop.
Everyone in the entire residential compound knew that the Mu Family’s eldest grandson, both before and after his injury, had always been a withdrawn and cold person.
He always had an icy, arrogant look whenever he saw people, which made those around him feel intimidated.
People in the compound had even declared that they’d never see Mu Ziquan smile in this lifetime.
If the people from the compound were to see his behavior today, especially this sycophantic display right now,
they would probably want to gouge their own eyes out to atone for the blind nonsense they had once spouted.
"Ziquan, is this the first time you’ve come to the hospital for a check-up while conscious?"
Before, Mu Ziquan was only ever brought to the hospital for examinations when he was unconscious. The moment he woke up, he would demand to go home.
"Yes. My Great-Aunt said I have toxins in my body, so I need to come to the hospital for a blood test and some other check-ups as well."
Mu Ziquan’s voice usually betrayed no emotion, but today, you could clearly hear the cheerfulness in it.
"In that case, Professor Xia, please personally handle Mu Ziquan’s blood test. I’ll take care of his full-body CT scan."
Gu Jiaojiao had high-tech medical equipment in her space, but she needed to run things through the hospital’s official channels. She couldn’t just produce results out of thin air.
"Alright, I’ll do as Ms. Gu says. I’m on my way now." After saying this, Xia Qiuming left with the two vials of blood.
"Okay, whatever Great-Aunt says." Mu Ziquan was genuinely happy. She was going to perform the examination on him herself.
He wouldn’t flatter himself into thinking he held a special place in her heart. After all, they had only just met today.
Besides, she was already married. He would never try to steal something that didn’t belong to him, much less force himself between a married couple.
’Liking someone is my own business. No one else needs to know.’
Gu Jiaojiao used the 75cm ultra-wide bore 3.0T MRI from her space to perform an endoscopic ultrasound.
The laparoscope had high-resolution imaging capabilities, allowing her to see the very molecules inside Mu Ziquan’s abdominal cavity with perfect clarity.
Oh, heavens!
Gu Jiaojiao actually discovered worms squirming inside his body. ’Could these worms be the root cause of his mania...?’
