Chapter 975: An Illegitimate Child
Jindo City sent many inspectors and assisting police officers—it did not matter if Madam’s Chai’s backer knew about the news. Could he still have helped the Chai family?
Furthermore, the issue with Madam Chai and Chai Enterprise was too significant. Would that person still dare to protect them? Perhaps he was more afraid that people would find out his connection to Chai Manwen.
Chai Xianglong had done a lot of bad things in Yuan City over the years. Lu Xingzhi used information, which Du Chen had given him, bit by bit, and that was enough to let Madam Chai stay in prison for the rest of her life.
However, he was a step too late—Chai Xianglong had fallen off the building and died. No one even collected his body, and Lu Xingzhi had instructed the hospital to be closed after that incident. That was why they transferred the patients to other hospitals and controlled the medical staff involved in the case. It was likely that there were not many people left in the hospital then.
“An illegitimate child?” Jiang Yao almost died from the shock. She could not even begin to imagine the mess that was Madam Chai’s life.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to see her.” Lu Xingzhi told Ah Lu and Big Ke to stay outside and wait for them. Then, he took Jiang Yao’s hand and walked toward the interrogation room.
When Jiang Yao walked past the room, she saw the medical staff that the soldiers escorted from the car. She tugged Lu Xingzhi’s sleeve and asked, “Will those doctors be convicted?”
“They’re all to turn themselves in. The director is interrogating them in another room.” Lu Xingzhi pointed to a brightly lit room in front of him and said, “Chai Xianglong shouted that he saw a ghost. He said that Zhou Xiaocheng was back to seek revenge on him, and then he went crazy and fell off the building. Not long after we left, the hospital director also went mad and yelled about the same thing. These doctors are scared out of their wits. They said that Zhou Xiaocheng had come back to take their lives, one by one. Therefore, they didn’t last long before someone said that they wanted to turn themselves in. They were afraid that Zhou Xiaocheng’s ghost would haunt them—they were so anxious that they could not wait to surrender.”
Jiang Yao laughed and thought, ‘It looks like my hard work today has not been in vain. The same old trick can really scare the sh*t out of these doctors in this superstitious city.’
If they surrendered, it meant they were responsible for the loss of a life. Jiang Yao thought that they could hold on for another day or two; she did not expect they would last only one afternoon.
Jiang Yao did not say anything else; she followed Lu Xingzhi quietly as they walked for about five to six minutes before they arrived at the temporary detention center.
“Young Master Lu, Madam Chai said that Chai Xianglong was the one who bribed the doctors, and she didn’t know anything about that. She pleaded guilty to two counts of carrying a gun illegally and threatening a military family member.” Zhou Junmin spat, “This woman is as slippery as an eel. She’s pushing the blame onto her son because he is dead.”
“It’s not like she can just say whatever she wants. The doctors have already turned themselves in. We’ll read their confessions later.” Jiang Yao said, “Madam Chai is someone with a strong personality—Chai Xianglong would not have acted without her approval. She must have instructed the doctors to do her bidding to destroy all the evidence.”
Chai Xianglong was almost 30 years old, and he was not married yet. It was apparent that Chai Manwen did not give much authority to her son to make any decision because he was only a mere deputy general manager in the company. If she did not instruct the doctors to kill Zhou Xiaocheng, they would not have dared to do that.
