Chapter 131 - 131 125 Changling I want you to bite me (second Chapter 131: 125: Changling, I want you to bite me (second update) Chapter 131: 125: Changling, I want you to bite me (second update) The testimony was all done, and Lu Qing once again reviewed the content.

“It’s strange.”

Intuition told her that things were not so simple.

“What’s strange? Doesn’t it all match up with Zhang Mingzhong’s testimony?”

“Don’t you think that bracelet is odd?”

“Not really.” Ho Beiguo sincerely praised, “I think Miss Wen is a good person, with a strong sense of justice.”

After Wen Changling finished her testimony, Xie Shang escorted her back to Lotus Pond Street. He hadn’t said much along the way. As dusk approached, the homely fragrance of Lotus Pond Street became intense under the sunset-stained sky, where wispy clouds spread out and cooking smoke rose from the chimneys.

Wen Changling followed Xie Shang into his yard.

She had said a lot at the police station, and Xie Shang poured her a glass of warm water.

“Why aren’t you asking?”

Xie Shang sat down, “I’m waiting for you to take the initiative to tell me.”

Wen Changling took his hand willingly, with a hint of ingratiating intent, “I found out about illegal transactions in the VIP building from a patient’s family. I was trying to look for evidence when Zheng Lvhong caught me.”

She wasn’t lying, but she also didn’t give a detailed account.

She knew Xie Shang’s weaknesses, and knew when to act contrite, “I know I was reckless, I was wrong.”

She admitted her mistake quickly.

Xie Shang withdrew his hand, “What did you do wrong?”

Wen Changling thought for a moment, “I shouldn’t have meddled in affairs that weren’t my business.”

“Changling, I remember you telling me about your wishes.”

What goes around comes around, world peace.

Those were Wen Changling’s wishes. She had told Xie Shang when they wagered during a drinking game. Xie Shang remembered every word she said, and was willing to follow and abide by all her rules and ideas.

But she still preferred to be alone.

“What you want to do, I won’t stop you,” Xie Shang pressed down the negative emotions that had arisen from fear, “but I hope you can learn to ask for my help and rely on me a little.”

She apologized obediently, shaking his clothes, “I’m sorry.”

Xie Shang pulled her hand over, carefully observing the red marks on her wrist, gently stroking them with his fingertips, “You’re just admitting wrong with your mouth.”

“I was almost silenced through murder, and instead of comforting me, you’re still angry with me?” Her complaint came in a soft tone. Wen Changling took off her glasses, her eyes gem-like, as she nuzzled her head towards Xie Shang, a rare display of coquettishness, “Xingxing, look into my eyes, so beautiful, they were almost blinded.”

Xie Shang touched the corner of her eye.

Do you know, Miss Wen, what I was thinking about during those five hours you were gone?

Thoughts of marriage, of criminal law, of final arrangements.

Do you understand the feeling of falling from a great height for a prolonged time when I took you skydiving? A dull pain, the brain numbingly maintaining high-speed operation.

Then finding you.

Then all my emotions disperse like a defeated army, leaving only relief.

Fortunately.

How could I be angry? I’m just still shaken.

Xie Shang held Wen Changling, resting his head on her shoulder, finally relaxing as he breathed deeply, “I’ll handle what comes next.”

“Okay.”

Wen Changling allowed herself to be held by him.

This was a part of her plan, with Xie Shang tying up loose ends, leaving no chance for Zheng Lvhong to turn the tables.

Suddenly, she felt the unevenness in Xie Shang’s palm and pulled his hand closer. There was a healing scab from a fresh wound, “What happened to your hand?”

“I burned it a bit while lighting incense.”

At that time, he was waiting for news from the Zheng family. The soothing incense couldn’t calm his mind. He was supposed to extinguish the incense, but he burned his hand instead. It wasn’t very painful, but oddly enough, it calmed him down.

As if possessed, he reached out again to touch the sparks from the incense, burning a hole into his skin.

Wen Changling stood up, “I’m going to buy medicine.”

Xie Shang held her back, “Let it be, it’s not a big deal.”

“No way.”

Xie Shang didn’t let her go, lifted her so that her feet were off the ground, and sat her on himself. He wrapped one arm around her waist and tightened it firmly. With the other hand, he clasped the back of her neck, exerting a slight force, making her lean into his neck.

Summer clothes are easily disheveled.

The small mole below her collarbone was exposed to her sight.

“Changling,”

Xie Shang’s voice was hoarse with his request, “I want you to bite me.”

He might have really lost his sanity.

He liked the physical pain that Wen Changling inflicted upon him, it made him feel truly possessed by her.

She agreed, opened her mouth, and bit through the skin on that spot.

*****

There was a new development in the case of Zheng Lvhong.

Zheng Lvhong’s wife, Lin Wanrong, reported him for bribery and provided the police with key evidence. The evidence came from a pair of cufflinks.

Lin Wanrong had given Zheng Lvhong a pair of cufflinks a while ago, intending to catch evidence of his infidelity, but instead, she captured his illicit and illegal transactions with several well-known individuals.

Rumor has it, Lin Wanrong, in an effort to secure custody of their child, has initiated a divorce lawsuit against him.

The police also received a report from “Mr. Yezi,” which contained information and medical records of some patients in the VIP building of Dihong Hospital. The medical records indicated multiple illegal activities, including violations of organ transplant regulations.

All individuals involved were detained by the police immediately.

Moreover, a body was found in the drug storage warehouse of Dihong Hospital. It has been confirmed to be a brain-dead patient.

The family of the patient has confessed and admitted to an unlawful “donation” agreement with the vice-director of Dihong Hospital after the patient was declared brain-dead.

Beiding District Detention Center.

Zheng Lvhong must have had a rough few days, looking haggard. When he saw the lawyer, he was eager, “I need to see my father.”

Lawyer Jiang was hired by the Zheng family.

He wasn’t a lawyer from KE; KE declined to take on this case.

“You can’t see anyone right now.”

“Then pass on a message to him for me,” Zheng Lvhong moved forward and lowered his voice, “If he doesn’t save me, no one from the Zheng family will get away with it.”

Lawyer Jiang wasn’t surprised by the threat, “Your father also has a message for you.” He quoted Zheng Yeda verbatim, “Shut your mouth if you want to stay alive.”

Zheng Lvhong was incredulous, “How can he do this to me, I’m his own son!”

Lawyer Jiang merely said, “You’ve crossed the line with the wrong person.”

The thought of Xie Shang flashed through Zheng Lvhong’s mind, and his face instantly turned ashen.

The Zheng family thus abandoned Zheng Lvhong and the medical business of Dihong Hospital. Given the severity of the case, all the industries under the Zheng family name were greatly affected. At this critical juncture, Zheng Yeda sent his second son, Zheng Lvqiao, abroad, but he was detained at the airport for using prohibited drugs.

One blow after another, the foundation of the Zheng family had virtually crumbled. Zheng Lvhong, who had committed several crimes, would likely spend a long time behind bars.

Mingde Medical took over the mess that was Dihong Hospital; the first thing they did was to shut down the VIP building and coordinate with relevant departments for comprehensive rectifications. On a side note, the chairman of Mingde Medical is Yan Cong’s uncle.

Wasn’t Yan Cong previously interested in acquiring Dihong?

Yan Boyong at the time said, “Do you think Dihong is a sidewalk stall that you can just buy whenever you want? Do you think their executives are fools to sell it to you?”

“Then come up with a plan.”

“What kind of plan?”

“An illegal one. Ruin its reputation and buy it at a low price.”

Mingde Medical’s acquisition of Dihong required barely any effort, which turned out to be prophetic.

Here it’s hard not to mention Xie Yanli, the unfortunate soul. She had invested in medical equipment and had only recently joined forces with the Zheng family when she lost all her investment.

She ran to Xie Jingxian to complain.

“Mrs. Zheng told me, after Xie Shang visited the Zheng family, they completely gave up on Zheng Lvhong and their medical business,” Xie Yanli was indignant, “Xie Shang did it on purpose to go against me, knowing that I invested in medical with the Zheng family.”
