Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"Doctor Hao," Li Xiangnan's voice had returned to its usual calm, devoid of any emotion. "Closely monitor his vital signs and notify me immediately of any abnormalities. He needs absolute rest and... psychological counseling."

He spoke the last four words softly, with a hint of indescribable heaviness.

He took a last look at Shen Yujing, who looked emaciated on the hospital bed.

The once high-spirited and powerful section chief of the Science and Technology Department is now nothing but a shell betrayed by his closest relatives and crushed by fate.

Li Xiangnan did not feel the pleasure of victory in his heart, but only a heavy, cold chill about the abyss of human nature and power.

He turned around and prepared to leave the ward filled with despair.

"Li...Xiangnan..." Shen Yujing's extremely weak voice, as if coming from the underworld, came from behind.

Li Xiangnan paused without looking back.

“…Thank…thank…you…for saving…me…”

The voice was intermittent and hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against each other. "...but...don't...care...about...it...anymore...please..."

Li Xiangnan was silent for a few seconds, did not respond, just pushed open the door and walked out.

The door closed gently behind him, isolating the heavy silence inside.

The glaring light in the corridor made him squint slightly.

Song Zimo, Wang Defa, Wei Dongliang, Guo Qian, Wen Xianping, Fei Yiqing, Lan Tiangui, and a trio of doctors were waiting anxiously outside the door, all their eyes focused on him.

"Brother Nan! What happened? What did he say? Who wants to kill him?" Song Zimo was the first to rush up and asked anxiously.

Li Xiangnan's eyes swept across the expectant, nervous and inquiring faces of the crowd, and finally stopped on the solemn and serious face of Wen Xianping from the Discipline Inspection Commission.

He spoke slowly, his voice calm but with a sense of finality:

"Shen Yujing is awake and conscious. He confirmed the poisoning, but refused to identify any suspects. He emphasized that his previous confession to the Discipline Inspection Commission of accepting 60 million yuan in bribes was the entire truth, and requested only that the case be handled swiftly according to the law and that he would accept any verdict."

He paused, looking deeply at Wen Xianping, "Regarding the poisoning case, he said... he will no longer pursue it."

"What? No investigation?!"

"You're kidding! This is murder!"

"Is he being threatened?!"

"Advisor Li, this..."

There was an uproar! Everyone was stunned by the result.

Li Xiangnan raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

His gaze was as calm as water, yet it held an invisible pressure. "This was his explicit wish. Based on the current situation, the direct perpetrator of the poisoning, Hu Qiyi, has confessed, and the evidence chain is complete. As for the clue to the murderer... with only a place name and the person involved refusing to cooperate, further investigation is meaningless. Captain Guo, go in and confirm with Section Chief Wen!"

"Alright!" Without hesitation, Guo Qian and Wen Xianping hurried inside. Within five minutes, they emerged, nodding around. "Advisor Li is right. His intention is very clear: we will not pursue the further investigation of the poisoning case!"

Everyone was stunned again.

Li Xiangnan looked at Wei Dongliang and Fei Yiqing. "Director Wei, Prosecutor Fei, I suggest that the case of Hu Qiyi's attempted poisoning of Shen Yujing be closed. I will work with Captain Guo to complete and submit the relevant report as soon as possible."

Wei Dongliang's brows knitted together, he took a deep puff of his cigarette butt, and finally sighed helplessly, "Ah...what's going on?! I'll report the situation to the leaders truthfully, don't worry!"

But he also understood that if the parties involved did not pursue the matter, the clues would be lost, and the forced melon would not be sweet, and it might also cause unnecessary trouble.

Fei Yiqing pushed his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses still sharp, but in the end he just nodded slowly, agreeing with Li Xiangnan's judgment.

Procedurally, this is the safest approach.

Wen Xianping's face looked so helpless that water almost dripped out of it, and his temples were throbbing.

Shen Yujing's giving up made him keenly smell the deeper, suffocating darkness.

This giving up itself is the biggest doubt!

But he did not lose his temper on the spot. He just stared at Shen Yujing sleeping on the hospital bed through the window, as if trying to find clues from his calm face.

Finally, his gaze shifted from the house and fell on Li Xiangnan's face.

Li Xiangnan did not avoid his gaze, his eyes were frank and deep.

"Advisor Li," Wen Xianping's voice was as hard as steel. "I agree with you. The poisoning case can be closed. But the issues Shen Yujing previously explained are far-reaching, and we will investigate thoroughly! Any attempt to cover up or shield someone will be self-destructive!"

These words are both a declaration and a warning to certain beings in the dark.

Li Xiangnan nodded slightly: "This is the responsibility of the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Without saying anything more, he turned to Lu Dingkun and the others and said, "Teacher Lu, Elder Wang, Doctor Liu, I'll need your continued attention to Shen Yujing's medical care. His physical and mental condition is extremely fragile."

After finishing his instructions, Li Xiangnan did not stay any longer. Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, he walked alone through the long, brightly lit corridor and headed towards the stairs.

Song Zimo wanted to catch up and find out what was going on, but Wang Defa grabbed him and shook his head.

At the end of the corridor, the windows were wide open.

The late night wind blew in with a cool breeze and the unique smell of rust and dust from the prison, ruffling the strands of hair on Li Xiangnan's forehead.

He stopped and looked out the window at the gray sky cut by the high walls and electric fences, his eyes distant and deep.

The case seems to be solved, the murderer has been brought to justice, and the chain of evidence is complete.

But a cold chill lingered in his heart, even more so than when the case was closed in the interrogation room.

Shen Yujing's sudden burst of fear, emanating from the depths of his soul... the "White Crane Island" that only the core members of the Shen family understood... and his subsequent determination to completely abandon life and only seek a quick death...

All of this points to a chilling truth - the real mastermind who wants Shen Yujing to shut up forever is probably hiding among his blood relatives!

It was the Shen family themselves who gave him the order to "clean up" for the sake of the family's survival!

Li Xiangnan's fingers curled up unconsciously.

"Family..." He whispered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it, carrying a hint of cold confusion and the heaviness of a glimpse into darkness. "For the sake of so-called family, even blood relatives can be sacrificed... How dark and twisted can human hearts and this power structure be?"

He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, which quickly dissipated in the cool morning breeze.

The fatal shadow hidden behind "Baihezhou" from within the Shen family is like a giant beast lurking in the abyss. Although it is temporarily covered up by Shen Yujing's silence, it has not really disappeared.

Its threat to Shen Yujing has not been eliminated, and it may even become more unscrupulous because of Shen Yujing's "non-pursuit".

And the chilling doubt in Li Xiangnan's heart—who was the true murderer? Was it Shen Wanshan's sons? Or one of his brothers? How could they be so cruel as to poison even their own blood relatives without a second thought?—stuck like an invisible thorn, deeply embedded, foreshadowing that this dark vortex of power, betrayal, and survival was far from over.

He turned and walked into the office, picked up the phone, looked at his watch, and felt a little hesitant.

Should I make this call or not?

Will Shen Qianzhong know about Baihezhou?
