He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.
Chapter 185 Finally, There's a Glimmer of Hope
Lu Fengcheng's expression darkened further. "What do you want to do? Release him!"
As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the small cage from Xia Ran's hand. Xia Ran grabbed his outstretched hand, completely disregarding how ugly Lu Fengcheng's expression was, and said to herself, "That green snake is poisonous, isn't it?"
This was the first time Lu Fengcheng had been stared at so boldly by a woman. Not only had she grabbed his little white dog, but now she dared to pull his hand. His face turned even paler. "Let go!"
"Why are you being so fierce?"
Xia Ran appeared completely calm, a slight smile playing on her lips. She took out another bandage from her bag and tied it around Lu Fengcheng's left elbow. With a quick pull, Xia Ran had efficiently bandaged his arm. A moment later, she added, "I'm a forensic doctor, so I definitely have to take your snake with me. It's related to the murder case that happened at Jinzuo. I think you know Jiang Yan is in legal trouble. I not only have to take this snake with me, but when the police arrive, you'll also have to go to the police station with them to assist with the investigation."
"Heh, so you're a forensic pathologist." Lu Fengcheng narrowed his eyes, sizing up Xia Ran. This woman was quite bold. Although he disliked timid women, he also disliked women who dared to challenge him so boldly. Retracting his hand, Lu Fengcheng pursed his lips and gave a mocking laugh. "A forensic pathologist has the right to carry my things?"
That green snake was indeed slightly venomous. He didn't want to die young, so he walked to the refrigerator next to him, opened it, took out a first-aid kit, and then took out a glass bottle from the first-aid kit. He poured the liquid inside directly onto the wound.
Both Siyi and Xiaran noticed two small holes in his left hand, likely left by snake fangs. As soon as the liquid touched the wound, a large amount of fine foam rose up. Siyi didn't understand these things, but Xiaran knew it was hydrogen peroxide. It must have hurt a lot to be in contact with his skin like that, but the man remained expressionless, his handsome face cold as he silently squeezed the wound with his right hand. Tiny beads of blood oozed out, initially slightly dark in color, but quickly turning bright red. The blood meandered down his hand, creating a strangely beautiful sight.
Siyi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he wouldn't die. Of course, keeping such a cold-blooded animal around meant he must know how to heal her. She composed herself, stepped forward, and said, "Young Master Lu, we came to see you today indeed regarding Jiang Yanhui's case. I'm his lawyer now, and I'm sure you don't want to see him go to jail. Could you cooperate?"
Lu Fengcheng didn't even look up. He took out a syringe from the medicine box, skillfully drew half a syringe of egg-white-like liquid from a test tube, and then said indifferently, "For Yan Hui's sake, I'll give you five minutes. If you can convince me, I'm willing to cooperate with you." He paused, finally looked up, and pointed at Xia Ran, "Come here and hold my arm."
Xia Ran knew exactly what he was going to do. She had no objections and obediently walked to his side, reaching out to steady his left arm. The skin on the inside of Lu Fengcheng's arm was even whiter than the outside, and the pale blue veins beneath the skin were clearly visible. After pushing away the air, the gleaming silver needle silently pierced the vein.
Xia Ran remained expressionless, watching him inject the serum. Lu Fengcheng pushed it very slowly, taking nearly five minutes to inject the small amount of serum from the syringe.
Siyi could only stand on the opposite side and wait quietly, secretly wondering if the little green snake would suddenly reappear.
The attack on them just now didn't seem like something Lu Fengcheng would do intentionally, so why did he attack them?
The question had barely crossed her mind when Lu Fengcheng was about to inject the last drop of serum into her vein. Xia Ran promptly released his arm and said coldly, "Sorry, I didn't know you were so perverted as to keep two snakes by your side. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come today."
Siyi was taken aback. "Ran, what do you mean?"
Lu Fengcheng narrowed his eyes and remained silent, while Xia Ran said without any hesitation, "I got my period today, so those two snakes must have smelled blood to attack me."
Lu Fengcheng stared at Xia Ran with a complicated expression. "You're quite clever."
"I am a forensic pathologist."
Xia Ran spoke succinctly, then glanced at his injured wrist and said, "Your wound is fine now. You have five minutes. Let's start talking now."
She gestured for Yi to speak and explain.
Siyi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said evasively, "The female victim died of poisoning, and it's a very rare poison that only becomes highly toxic when mixed with snake skin. The forensic doctor found snake skin on her body, the skin of your little white snake. I know you and Jiang Yanhui are good friends, and I don't believe you would frame him, so I came to ask you if you know why your little white snake had snake skin in Jiang Yanhui's suite?"
It turned out to be the case.
Lu Fengcheng had been helping Jiang Yanhui find evidence these past few days. How could he possibly want to see his childhood friend go to jail? He hadn't expected that the forensic doctor would be so capable, finding such a clear clue so quickly. It wasn't too difficult to find out why his snakeskin was in Yanhui's suite.
He raised an eyebrow, walked directly to the sofa, reached out and grabbed the small green snake that had just attacked him. He tossed it into a transparent cabinet nearby, observing the snake's movements as he casually remarked, "My little white snake sheds its skin every year. I don't need to teach you that, do I?"
Siyi was stunned for a moment before she realized, "But it's not winter now."
"If someone were to design all of this with a purpose, would winter even make a difference?"
"what do you mean……"
Siyi frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing, "I know! If this snake skin isn't yours, then the person who framed Jiang Yanhui will probably guess that if it's really identified by the forensic doctor, they will definitely target someone else. But if it is yours, everyone knows your relationship with Jiang Yanhui and will suspect that you conspired together."
Lu Fengcheng turned around while pressing his injured wrist.
His gaze lingered on Xia Ran, who was standing right next to his desk. She had her head down, seemingly looking at something. He pursed his thin lips slightly. "Attorney Ye is a smart man. So now you know what to do?"
Siyi smiled gently, raised her eyebrows, and asked in return, "Young Master Lu, why don't you suspect that there might be a spy among your people? Otherwise, how could your things have so easily gone to Jiang Yan's side?"
Lu Fengcheng's gaze kept drifting to another black figure in the room, and he casually replied, "I know what to do. I've said it before, I will cooperate for Yan Hui's sake."
Having said all that, Siyi understood his attitude. She was certain that the snakeskin had nothing to do with Lu Fengcheng; someone like him must have his own methods.
Moreover, the forensic report will be submitted tomorrow, and my brother will also investigate then.
She acted faster than Ye Zhenghao. Now she only needed to check whether Jiang Yansen had left the country to visit Myanmar or the Golden Triangle to basically determine who was trying to frame Jiang Yanhui.
It seems she doesn't even need to go to the deceased's home.
However, she had another headache: the drugs found under the sofa.
"So, do you think this case can basically be settled?"
As soon as Siyi and Xia Ran left Lu Fengcheng's room, she couldn't wait to ask them.
Xia Ran, carrying a small cage in one hand and pressing the elevator button with the other, said with a smile, "I'm judging this matter from a rational perspective. I did suspect before that it might be related to Lu Fengcheng, or that they were working together. But after talking to him for a bit, I've changed my mind. Jiang Yanhui was probably framed."
"Huh?" Siyi looked at Xia Ran in confusion.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and the two stepped inside together. Xia Ran then held up her finger in front of Si Yi, asking, "See that?"
Xia Ran's once slender, white fingers were now covered with tiny red spots, resembling eczema. Upon closer inspection, the spots were quite widespread, a rather alarming sight. Si Yi was startled and was about to touch them when Xia Ran hissed, "Don't touch them."
"what is this?"
"Don't worry, this is just a skin reaction."
Xia Ran moved her fingers and explained, "Lu Fengcheng's snake is not simple. If someone touches the skin of this white snake, their skin will develop red rashes like this. I just looked at Lu Fengcheng's hands, and they were very clean. Of course, it's possible that he deliberately avoided touching them, but he doesn't seem to be lying. More importantly, I think you can tell your older brother to start with this suspicious point. The person who touched the snake's skin will definitely have red rashes on their hands, and that way we can find out who's behind it all."
"That's great!"
Siyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The case had finally made progress, and it was in a very favorable position for Jiang Yanhui. She sincerely said, "Ran, thank you so much."
"Isn't it too formal to say thank you?"
Xia Ran smiled gently. As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator, Si Yi's phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her expression changed slightly. Xia Ran noticed this and asked as she opened the car door, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to answer?"
Siyi glanced at Xia Ran, "Take the snake to my older brother first, I have something else to do."
Xia Ran could tell that she probably had something she wanted to say in private, so she didn't press her and left after getting into the car.
Siyi answered the phone only after Xia Ran's car had left.
Before she could say anything, she heard Guan Fengru's unusually serious voice, "Siyi, don't hang up on me yet. Mom has something very important to tell you. Where are you? I want to meet you."
