Chapter 584: Waiting Anxiously

Xia Xue’s cell phone had signal after they came out of the base. She quickly contacted Chen Fei. Probably Chen Fei was now on his way to the hospital.

“How did you catch Wang Xifan?” Taking the opportunity when Zhou Jiajia was sent into the operating room, Xia Xue began to ask Yang Ming about the event.

“The course of events is complicated, but Wang Zhitao and Huang Youcai escaped.” Yang Ming shook his head with regret. However, obviously, there was no other choice. Even if Wang Xifan’s case was conclusive, Wang Zhitao wouldn’t be involved.

It was no longer the era whereby an entire clan is implicated when a man committed a crime! Therefore, Yang Ming didn’t deliberately keep Wang Zhitao there. If he wanted to retaliate against Wang Zhitao, he had other means. He didn’t need to rush this time. While on the base, it was obviously not a good place to execute his means.

If Yang Ming had done something to Wang Zhitao, then the police investigation would definitely involve him. Yang Ming wasn’t so impulsive.

” Oh …” Xia Xue noticed Yang Ming’s frown as he looked in the direction of the emergency room. She knew that he didn’t want to talk much about it now as his mind was elsewhere. She didn’t ask more questions but said, “In a while, Captain Chen will ask us how we got to the base. How do we answer it?”

Xia Xue was obviously afraid of Chen Fei criticizing her unauthorized actions during her time off.

When Yang Ming heard it, how could he not understand Xia Xue’s worries? So, he said, “If Uncle Chen asks later, you just need to say that you noticed something suspicious, and then took the opportunity to follow up. Don’t worry. You didn’t do anything wrong but achieved some merits. Didn’t you catch Wang Xifan?”

Yang Ming winked his eyes at Xia Xue – Xia Xue, who strived to achieve great things. Yang Ming decided to give this merit directly to her. Why? After all, this merit wasn’t useful for Yang Ming. Yang Ming felt a bit guilty toward Xia Xue when they were in the room. After all, he had touched her private part. It was compensation!

” Ah… oh. ..” Xia Xue heard Yang Ming’s words. She immediately understood Yang Ming’s meaning, but she replied in embarrassment, “Is this alright?”

“Why won’t it be alright? It is the truth since the beginning…” Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.

“Great! Thank you, Yang Ming!” Xia Xue raised a small fist and her eyes filled with a different spirit. “I finally solve a case, and it is even a big case. Let me see who would still look down on me!”

Yang Ming found it amusing but Xia Xue was saying the truth. If Wang Xifan was really captured by Xia Xue, the merit was really not small! It was just that having Zhou Jiajia getting shot was hard to explain. But this problematic thing was left to Xia Xue to explain.

Logically speaking, when the police received the news that Zhou Jiajia was shot, they had to inform her mother. After hearing this news, Mother Zhou almost fainted and rushed to the hospital.

“Where’s my daughter? What is the situation of my daughter? Jiajia!” Zhou Jiajia’s mother actually rushed to the hospital faster than Chen Fei. Yang Ming looked at Mother Zhou who was despondent. He couldn’t help but sympathize with her.

The initially luxurious and noble lady turned into a pale middle-aged woman at the moment. Her speech was even incoherent.

“Aunty, Jiajia is being operated on in the emergency room, and the results haven’t come out yet.” Yang Ming sighed as he couldn’t help but comfort her.

“It’s you! Answer me! Is it because of you that Zhou Jiajia was shot? Answer me!” When Mother Zhou saw Yang Ming, she immediately rushed over furiously.

“…” Yang Ming didn’t know how to answer it. Indeed, Zhou Jiajia was shot by Wang Xifan because of him. But, Yang Ming wasn’t guilty of this. Yang Ming didn’t expect this girl to be infatuated to the point of sacrificing herself for him!

“Of course, it’s you!” Mother Zhou saw Yang Ming not talking any further. She was even more determined to the thoughts in her heart. She raised her hand and was about to slap Yang Ming’s face.

“Enough!” Yang Ming’s original sympathy, at this moment, had also disappeared. He couldn’t help but say coldly, “If you ask how it happened, fine; then I will tell you. The shot was fired by Wang Xifan! The irony is that you still want to foster a marriage with him, right?”

“Wang Xifan. That is impossible! Where is he? I want to ask him! Why does he want to harm my Jiajia?” Mother Zhou exclaimed immediately after hearing it.

“Wang Xifan had been arrested for alleged smuggling and intentional assault. You can’t see him.” Xia Xue suddenly interjected coldly.

The deep feelings between Zhou Jiajia and Yang Ming also moved Xia Xue. So, Xia Xue was angry in the face of this mother who never thought about her daughter’s feelings.

” Ah !” Mother Zhou was stunned. “What? He is involved in smuggling?”

” Hmph , because Zhou Jiajia discovered the evidence of his smuggling, Wang Xifan was about to kill her!” Xia Xue added oil to the fire. Anyway, what she said now didn’t represent any party. She was currently in a state of suspension.

“What?” Mother Zhou was shocked. She just received a phone call from the police, but she was only told that Zhou Jiajia was shot. She didn’t know about the specific details. So when she saw Yang Ming when she first came, she thought it was Yang Ming who caused it. But, she didn’t expect that Zhou Jiajia was hurt by Wang Xifan!

“Your daughter was harmed as the result of your own hands!” Xia Xue added another sentence. Mother Zhou’s face grew paler.

“Enough, Xia Xue. Don’t say any further!” Yang Ming couldn’t stand it anymore. In any case, even if the woman in front of him was annoying, she was still Zhou Jiajia’s mother. With Zhou Jiajia’s affection toward Yang Ming, he didn’t want to have too many conflicts with Mother Zhou.

“Aunty, there’s no use in panicking now. It’s better to sit there for a while.” Yang Ming pointed to the rest area not far away.

Mother Zhou nodded, not knowing what she was thinking, but her emotions were obviously very unstable.

……

Chen Fei who had arrived later brought Wang Xifan back to the police station. Given sufficient evidence, the arrest warrant was quickly approved.

Wang Xifan knew his own fate, so he didn’t intend to conceal anything at all. The police process of obtaining evidence and interrogation was exceptionally smooth. Wang Xifan confessed to what he did, but he shouldered all the crimes by himself. After that, he stopped answering any questions.

Wang Xifan had turned Huang Youcai into an innocent company secretary as though Huang Youcai didn’t participate in Wang Xifan’s smuggling at all. Wang Xifan”s only accomplice was Su Dazhi. But because he was afraid of Su Dazhi betraying him, Wang Xifan eliminated Su Dazhi. The murder process and the location of the corpse were all described in detail.

Although Wang Xifan transferred most of his funds to the overseas anonymous account, he still left an account in Huaqi Bank in Hong Kong which contained a small amount of funds from the smuggling. Even so, the amount was up in the billions.

Because Wang Xifan knew that if he didn’t spit out some money, the police would definitely never let it go. Even if he kept silent, they would still investigate Wang Zhitao. It was better to simply let go of some and put out some money.

This part of the money was quickly taken out as evidence to the court and then turned over to the state treasury. The only requirement from Wang Xifan was that Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group was a legal company with sound procedures and had no involvement in the smuggling. Smuggling was only a private act done by him and Su Dazhi. He had now resigned from all of his duties in Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group. The purpose was to keep his own group intact.

After a meeting and analysis, it was determined that Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group actually didn’t participate in the smuggling business. The survival of this group was essential for the food and clothing of tens of thousands of families.

Since Wang Xifan’s attitude in pleading his guilt was good, he hadn’t suffered any hardships. After the evidence gathering was over, he waited to be handed over to the judicial authorities for public prosecution.

For Xia Xue, she was the hero of this action. Chen Fei had already submitted a reward nomination to the bureau. She was about to be awarded.

……

“Who is the family of the injured patient, Zhou Jiajia?” A doctor wearing a white coat came over and asked.

“I am. I am her mother!” Mother Zhou quickly stood up.

However, Yang Ming stood up with Mother Zhou and looked at the doctor anxiously.

“Zhou Jiajia’s situation had been stabilized for a while. But now, we need to do a craniotomy to remove the bullet. You’ll need to sign a consent form.” The doctor explained, “However, there is a very important situation. I have to tell you in advance…”

“Doctor, my daughter is fine, right…” Mother Zhou asked incoherently.

“Miss, don’t be nervous. Listen to me.” The doctor frowned. Every day, he had to face so many family members of his patients. He also understood their feelings. “The area below where Ms. Zhou Jiajia’s bullet is located contains the most nerves in the brain. There is no problem in removing the bullet, but it might damage the brain’s nerves. This is hard to say because neither the CT nor other equipment can photograph the exact shape and position of the nerves…”
