President, the deceased lady has three more children

"Oh, Assistant He, you're right. We originally wanted to wait for Miss Lu to wake up before we came to ask her questions, since Miss Lu is a patient after all."

"But you have no idea how serious this matter has become online. So many people are watching and waiting, we can't just stand by and do nothing. Especially since the victims are still waiting for a response, and Mr. Yun has been urging us on."

Director Lin simply laughed it off, using the presence of the masses and the Yun family to shut He Feng up.

He Feng's expression stiffened slightly, and then he could only nod and smile apologetically in agreement.

“Okay, since Director Lin has said so, we will of course cooperate. But the truth of those things on the internet still needs to be verified, because our President Lu is not that kind of person. As you know, she has been doing charity work for many years.”

"In addition, her health has been really bad lately, and with what happened to President Lu, her mood has been terrible. Those so-called evidences are probably from someone trying to frame President Lu."

Director Lin smiled but didn't reply: "We will investigate the specifics of this matter. Miss Feng's evidence is solid. If you really think Miss Lu was framed, you also need to provide evidence."

"Yes, you're right, so we need time."

"It's alright. We'll wake Miss Lu up and ask her some questions. We'll also have professionals investigate afterwards." Director Lin looked at Nan Xing, his tone much better than when he spoke to He Feng.

"Dr. Bugui, could you please help wake Miss Lu up? We really need to ask her some questions."

Nanxing nodded and looked at A-Kui again. Although A-Kui was willing, she still moved aside.

Nanxing walked to the bedside but did not wake Lu Mingzhu immediately. Instead, she looked down at Lu Mingzhu's face and noticed that her eyes had moved slightly.

He was indeed pretending to be asleep.

Nanxing didn't expose her, but instead reached out to take Lu Mingzhu's pulse. Lu Mingzhu's symptoms were similar to those of Gu Yihe's patients. Checking Lu Mingzhu's condition would help her treat those patients in the future.

Moreover, she was also very curious about Lu Mingzhu's current health condition.

The moment she touched the pulse, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

She glanced at Lu Mingzhu again, unsure whether Lu Mingzhu herself knew about her current physical condition, whether she truly didn't believe her, or was simply deceiving herself.

She didn't think about it anymore; it was Lu Mingzhu's own choice.

She took out a silver needle and gently pricked Lu Mingzhu's philtrum. Sure enough, Lu Mingzhu opened her eyes the moment she felt the pain, and the emotion in her eyes was nothing like that of someone who was in a deep sleep.

Lu Mingzhu did indeed open her eyes subconsciously from the pain; she was indeed pretending to be asleep.

“Miss Lu, you woke up quite quickly, much faster than I expected. I thought it would take you a while to wake up, given your condition.”

Nanxing took two steps back, sat down in the chair, and looked at her with a half-smile.

In particular, the implication in her words was almost a direct statement that Lu Mingzhu was pretending to be asleep.

Lu Mingzhu's face stiffened slightly, but she quickly put on an act, looking at Nanxing with a bewildered expression.

“Doctor Bu Gui? This… how did you get here? Wasn’t I sleeping? How come there are so many people in the ward when I woke up?” Lu Mingzhu said as she sat up from the hospital bed, and A Kui quickly went to the other side to help her.

"Of course I came here to ask you some questions. Otherwise, why do you think I would come? Or do you still think Fu Yunchuan would let me come?" Nanxing didn't even bother to hide her emotions and went straight to the point.

Lu Mingzhu looked at her, also surprised that Nanxing would be so direct.

Director Lin then walked up to Lu Mingzhu and said,

"Miss Lu, long time no see."

Lu Mingzhu was still unsure how to respond to Nanxing's earlier words when Director Lin's appearance made her pause, a sense of nervousness rising within her.

"Director Lin? What are you doing here? Did something happen?"

A look of confusion crossed her face, as if she genuinely didn't know why Director Lin had come.

Although Director Lin said he came so quickly because he received a message from Nanxing, now that he's here, he naturally wants to handle this matter as soon as possible.

He couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingzhu a few times, and some doubts crept into his mind. Did Lu Mingzhu really not know what was happening online? It seemed that this Lu Mingzhu was quite different from how she used to be.

However, this has little to do with him. He just needs to do his job and repay the favor to Dr. Bugui.

"Ms. Lu, this is what we've received. We've received a case that involves you and Ms. Feng Jiejie. We're here to conduct a routine interview with you." Director Lin said seriously, getting into work mode.

Lu Mingzhu's confused expression deepened.

"This... Me and Miss Feng Jiejie? And they're questioning me? What's going on? Assistant He, do you know anything about this?"

She looked at He Feng again, and only after seeing the reassuring look on his face did she calm down a bit.

Director Lin asked two officers to come up and explain the online events to Lu Mingzhu, one speaking and the other recording on a tablet.

Director Lin stood by and watched, observing Lu Mingzhu's reaction and occasionally glancing at Nanxing.

Nanxing hasn't spoken since he started talking to Lu Mingzhu, but his expression has grown colder and colder.

Actually, if Fu Yunchuan hadn't mentioned Lu Mingzhu's situation, he would have already sent someone directly to the police station to report, instead of them having to make the trip themselves.

Of course, he came in person because of Nanxing; otherwise, even if Fu Yunchuan was there, he would probably have arranged for someone else to come.

As the police officers explained, Lu Mingzhu's expression grew increasingly incredulous, and after hearing the whole story, she even choked with emotion.

"How could that be? How could I do such a thing? I've been resting in the hospital for the past few days and haven't left at all. And even if I did leave the hospital, I would never do such a thing. Director Lin, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Director Lin: "We have verified the evidence submitted by the victim, Ms. Feng, and there is absolutely no problem with it; it is all factual evidence."

"But I... I've been in a coma the whole time. I have no idea what happened. I've been in a coma for the past few days because of my health. How could this happen? I really have no idea."

Lu Mingzhu's eyes were red, revealing just the right amount of panic and confusion.

“I just took your pulse, and I don’t think you’ve fallen into a deep sleep. It’s more like you’re resting with your eyes closed.” Nanxing directly exposed Lu Mingzhu’s claim of being unconscious.

Saying she was resting with her eyes closed was being too polite; otherwise, she would have directly said she was pretending to be asleep.

But none of the people present were fools, so how could they not understand her words about closing her eyes to rest?

Lu Mingzhu was seething with hatred, but her face showed an increasingly aggrieved expression.

"Dr. Bugui, what do you mean? Do you think I'm faking being asleep? But I've been hospitalized here the whole time, and the doctors and nurses here can all testify to that, even the doctors can vouch for me. I really am in a coma."

"Really? Why don't you call those doctors over now? I'll talk to them and see if you were actually unconscious or just pretending. In my field of expertise, I'm never afraid of communication. Lu Mingzhu, what do you think?"

Nanxing spoke coldly, not even bothering to close her eyes and rest, directly uttering the words "pretending to be asleep."

This is something Lu Mingzhu brought upon herself.

"You! Dr. Bugui, how could you slander me like this! Besides, I didn't even call you over, why are you slandering me like this?" Lu Mingzhu looked at Nanxing angrily.

Nanxing sneered: "You didn't call me here because I came here specifically to find you, to see when you could give me a definite answer. You did that to Feng Jiejie, you can't just not give me a reply, can you?"

"I already said it's a misunderstanding, I have no idea what happened! Besides, this is Feng Jiejie's matter, she hasn't even come yet, why did you come first?"

“It’s not that I don’t want you to come, but you’re being too unreasonable. I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, and now you’re misunderstanding me. Who can understand my grievances?”

She covered her mouth and coughed softly a few times. She did look frail, especially with her pale complexion, which added to the realism of her frailty.

"Of course I'm here in her place. Lu Mingzhu, I won't let this go until you give me an explanation. Director Lin is here too. Normally, if you can't produce evidence that you're not involved, you'll have to be detained first."

Nanxing looked at Lu Mingzhu and spoke each word carefully, successfully seeing the fleeting panic in Lu Mingzhu's eyes.

She knew this was Lu Mingzhu's doing, and the evidence the children found couldn't be wrong, especially since she had just personally given it to Nanxing.

"I really don't know what happened! Can you please stop pressuring me! I really don't know anything!" Lu Mingzhu's tears streamed down her face.

"Director Lin, you also think I did this?"

“Ms. Lu, please don’t use the word ‘feel.’ We speak with evidence. All the documents and evidence submitted by the victim just now point to you, so please cooperate.”

Lu Mingzhu's heart sank when she heard this. She knew that Director Lin really would do what Nanxing said, and if she didn't find a way soon, she would have to go back with Director Lin.

The thought of that scene made her tremble uncontrollably; she dared not even imagine what would happen.

"Assistant He, what exactly happened? Have you found any evidence? I really don't know anything about this." Lu Mingzhu looked at He Feng again, her eyes filled with anxiety.

He Feng clearly said he would handle it and someone would take the blame, so why hasn't anyone shown up yet?

He Feng walked up with a concerned look and said, "President Lu, don't worry. You should take care of your health. If you have any more health problems, President Fu will have to worry again."

"Just like you said, if you didn't do it, you didn't do it. We'll find the evidence. There's no need to worry. It just takes a little time."

Lu Mingzhu was relieved after hearing He Feng's words, and only then did she realize that she should find Fu Yunchuan at this time. She had lost her mind because of Nan Xing's words.

"Yes, Director Lin, I need time now. You have to give me at least some time, because I really don't know what happened." Lu Mingzhu could only insist that she didn't know what had happened.

"Besides, with Brother Yun Chuan around, you can trust me."

This statement sounds more like a threat than a guarantee.

Director Lin frowned slightly. He understood what was being said. If President Fu's side really got involved, he didn't know what to do.

He looked at Nanxing and found that Nanxing's expression was very calm, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.

And that was indeed the case. Nanxing had long expected that Fu Yunchuan wouldn't ignore it; she just didn't know why Fu Yunchuan hadn't come over yet.

Nanxing didn't look at Director Lin, because she knew it wouldn't be good for him to speak at this moment. Instead, she stood up and looked at Lu Mingzhu, saying...

"The facts are already laid bare, what else is there to investigate? Lu Mingzhu, do you think you can get away with this by constantly running away? Or do you think you can escape this calamity just because Fu Yunchuan is here? Let me tell you, it's impossible. Even if Fu Yunchuan were standing right here, you would still have to give me an explanation."

"What gives you the right to target me and the people around me again and again?"

Nanxing's resounding words and sharp gaze made Lu Mingzhu feel a little intimidated, and for a moment she didn't know what to say when she looked at Nanxing.

"I……"

"I did it, it has nothing to do with my daughter."

A slightly trembling voice suddenly rang out from the doorway, drawing everyone's attention.

She is Lu Mingzhu's mother, Madam Lu.

Everyone was slightly taken aback by her words, including Lu Mingzhu herself, who had clearly heard what Madam Lu said.

Her hand under the blanket clenched instinctively at first, then suddenly loosened its grip as if she had thought of something.

Nanxing was genuinely surprised that Madam Lu would appear and say such things. She then glanced at Lu Mingzhu and noticed the lingering astonishment in Lu Mingzhu's eyes, as well as a sense of relief.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering a possibility.

Madam Lu walked in wearing a fuchsia coat. It was clear that she was a little scared, but the first thing she did upon entering was look at Lu Mingzhu.

"Mingzhu, how are you now? Are you feeling very unwell?"

Upon hearing these words, Lu Mingzhu knew that her mother had made preparations and was aware of their plan.

She gritted her teeth, feeling that she couldn't fail here. As long as she could successfully extricate herself from this situation, she could make it up to her mother later.

"Mom, I'm fine, just a little tired. It's just that I woke up to see so many people, and they said I did a lot of bad things to Feng Jiejie. I really don't understand. I really didn't do anything wrong."

With tears in her eyes, Lu Mingzhu held Madam Lu's hand.

“Mom knows, because it was Mom who did it.” Madam Lu grasped Lu Mingzhu’s hand in return, then looked at Director Lin.

"Director Lin, I did this. I was out of my mind because I was dissatisfied with Bu Gui, so I chose to target the people around her."
