Chapter 379: How About Him?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The other party clearly wasn’t taking Shen Hanyu seriously, but Cui Yi’s eyes were filled with fear.
Back then, Ruan Cheng had also looked at Shen Hanyu in the same way, but in the end…
“Shen Hanyu came to the hospital today.”
Cui Yi sighed. “He concluded that there was something else about the photo, and I was an insider. He gave me a deadline to find out the truth, otherwise… It will be detrimental to the Ruan Family and Young Master An.”
“Is that so?”
On the other end of the gla.s.ses, the voice sneered. “Everyone knows how to boast, but it depends on whether he has the ability to own up to his words or not.”
Cui Yi hesitated. “No matter what, Shen Hanyu is not to be underestimated. Have you forgotten what happened to Master Cheng and the Ruan family?” he said tactfully.
“That’s because you’re useless and gave Shen Hanyu too many chances.”
The voice was soft as they continued, “Cui Yi, you had better remember your ident.i.ty. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.”
Cui Yi was silent for a moment before he said, “Yes.”
He used to be a person of great importance in the Ruan Family other than Ruan Cheng. Despite this, he seemed to be exceptionally humble in front of the person on the other end.
There was a moment of silence, as if the other party was thinking of a countermeasure. “When is the deadline Shen Hanyu gave you?”
“He didn’t say, he only said that he would send someone to find me soon.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s bring forward the plan. I’ll see how he continues to investigate.”
The voice instructed, “Just wait for my notice for the next few days.”
The car drove to the airport and sped all the way.
“President Shen, if Cui Yi refuses to tell the truth behind the scenes,”
Jian Zheng said as he drove, “Will you really harm the Ruan family’s two ladies and Xie Shi’an?”
As he spoke, he hesitated. “If Madam finds out in the future, she might… Get angry at you.”
During this period of time, Jian Zheng had accompanied Sang Qianqian to the Xie family several times. He saw with his own eyes how much effort she put into Ruan Xiaodie’s illness. Furthermore, her relationship with Xie Shi’an and Ruan Xiaoshuang was like that of old friends.
He was worried that she wouldn’t agree with Shen Hanyu’s plan of using Xie Shi’an and those two ladies as leverage to threaten Cui Yi into telling the truth.
Of course, if Shen Hanyu didn’t want Sang Qianqian to know, then she would never know.
However, Jian Zheng was still a little worried. After all, Shen Hanyu’s current harmonious relationship with Sang Qianqian wasn’t built so easily.
Shen Hanyu had been deep in thought, but when he heard that, he glanced at Jian Zheng through the rearview mirror. “That was just to coax Cui Yi. How could you believe that?”
Jian Zheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s mainly because President Shen’s words sounded too real…”
Even he believed it.
“I really want to find out the truth, but I wouldn’t risk my wife’s trust in me.”
Shen Hanyu said lightly, “Doesn’t Cui Yi have a younger brother? Let’s use his younger brother first.”
This naturally wasn’t a difficult thing for Jian Zheng. He immediately agreed, “Alright.”
Cui Yi’s younger brother, Cui Ke, had been following and serving Xie Shi’an and Ruan Xiaodie. The last time Jian Zheng accompanied Sang Qianqian to the Xie family’s house, Jian Zheng had only tested him a little, but it was enough to anger Cui Ke and almost made him fight.
This person was a simple-minded and boorish person with well-developed limbs. Jian Zheng wouldn’t have any scruples dealing with him.
Shen Hanyu was still thinking about something. He frowned. “It’s a bit of a coincidence that Cui Yi fell sick. His illness is also strange.”
According to the information provided by the prison administration, Cui Yi’s body had been healthy since he was imprisoned.
However, more than a month ago, not long after Xie Shian brought Cui Ke and Ruan Xiaodie back to the capital, Cui Yi suddenly fell ill.
This illness was untraceable and aggressive. Soon, the man’s heart and lung functions became seriously problematic, and he was now unable to get out of bed.
Jian Zheng had some doubts about this, so he had checked Cui Yi’s information before he got sick.
He found out that Cui Yi had kept a low profile in the prison and rarely had conflicts with others. Moreover, there were surveillance cameras in the prison, so the possibility of revenge was almost zero.
“Before he fell sick, only Xie Shi’an and his brother Cui Ke visited him. There was one time when they went together, and another when Cui Ke went alone. I doubt any of them would have any intentions to harm Cui Yi.”
Jian Zheng was also puzzled by this question. “So how did he get this disease? Even the doctor can’t tell.”
“Try to get the details on his medical records and find the best heart and lung doctor in Beijing to see what’s going on. If necessary, arrange for someone to a.s.sist the hospital in treating him.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were dark and gloomy. He said slowly, “Also, when I’m not around, you must send someone to keep an eye on him.”
He had a strange premonition that the matter with the photo might be more complicated than he had imagined.
Cui Yi might be the key to solving this mystery.
In a certain European country.
When Shen Hanyu got off the plane, he saw Fang Lan in a red windbreaker. Her curly hair fluttered as she leaned against the car door. She looked dashing with her black sungla.s.ses.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’re finally here.”
Fang Lan took off her sungla.s.ses, revealing a barefaced but delicate face. She smiled and said, “You personally came to see me? Aren’t you afraid that Qianqian will be jealous?”
Shen Hanyu ignored her teasing. He walked to the car and put his luggage in the trunk.
“Looking at your current state, you don’t look like you’re having a conflict with Qianqian.”
Fang Lan looked at his face and was a little suspicious. “What happened for you to come all the way here?”
Shen Hanyu had already opened the car door. “Let’s talk in the car.”
She saw this and immediately understood. “It seems like it doesn’t seem like a small matter, considering how you came all the way to Europe to find me.”
She quickly got into the car. “I’ll bring you to eat, so let’s talk then?”
“I already ate on the plane.”
Shen Hanyu said briefly, “Let’s get down to business first.”
He explained the purpose of this trip and the case of Zhen Zhu’s mother in detail. Fang Lan’s expression also became a little solemn. “I’m afraid this matter will not be easy to investigate. We will have to get the original case file first. However, after years and years, even if we had the original case file, it wouldn’t be so easy to investigate this.”
Only after obtaining the case file could they find the police officers, witnesses, and related parties involved in the case. The biggest problem is that this incident happened a long time ago. As for whether those people still remembered the past and what else they could find out about it, they could only do their best.
Shen Hanyu nodded. “That’s why I need your help.”
With Fang Lan’s help, he could finish things much faster.
She started the car, and her smile returned to normal. “Really? Then what are you going to give me?”
Shaking her head, she said, “I’ll say this first. Things are different now. Back then, I liked you, so I was willing to help you. Now that you’re a married man, I don’t have much to think about anymore. I won’t do things that don’t benefit me.”
Shen Hanyu turned to look at her and handed her a photo.. “How about him?”
