CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 308: THROWN INTO THE RIVER

Ye Ningwan somewhat regretted telling Ye Shao; this child was too impulsive.

"Right now, I’m just suspicious; there’s no solid evidence. Besides, Mother doesn’t remember us at all now; she won’t believe anything we say. Wan Yufeng is cunning and sly. We have to be meticulous and flawless before we can tell Mother the truth."

"Then I’ll go with you..."

"No need for you to come with me. Stay in Jiangcheng and study well. When Mother comes back and sees you’ve grown up, she’ll surely be pleased. Plus, Wu Taotao is here. Do you feel at ease going with me? You wouldn’t be of any help, and Zhan Hanjue is by my side. There’s no need for you."

Ye Shao: "..."

Was he being dismissed?

"Alright then! I’ll stay here, but you must keep me informed of any news," Ye Shao said.

Ye Ningwan nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll tell you immediately if there’s any news."

Only then did Ye Shao feel relieved.

Ye Ningwan left and called the people surveilling Wen Daofu and Wan Yufeng to ask if there was any news.

The two said there was no news for the time being.

However, today Wan Yufeng and Wen Daofu were meeting at Fenghuan Mountain Villa; they didn’t know what would be discussed.

"Find a way to tail them and check it out," Ye Ningwan said.

"Yes, Ma’am," they replied.

It’s been several days, and apart from the first day when Wen Daofu met Wan Yufeng and had a big argument with him in anger,

the two hadn’t had any contact for the following days.

This was very strange.

Could it have something to do with Li Qingqing?

Ye Ningwan thought about the report from the person tracking Wen Daofu, who also met Li Qingqing.

But they didn’t know what was discussed. It took around two or three hours before Li Qingqing left.

Li Qingqing indeed left, and when Wen Daofu departed, he seemed to hate her to the core, gritting his teeth. Yet they could talk for two to three hours; who knows what Li Qingqing talked about.

"Buzz buzz."

Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue were sleeping in the middle of the night when suddenly the phone rang.

It was Ye Ningwan’s phone.

Ye Ningwan groggily opened her eyes, but before she could get up, Zhan Hanjue pressed her down.

Zhan Hanjue stretched out his long arm and picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"...Mr. Zhan? It’s Chen."

There was a pause on the other end, seemingly not expecting Zhan Hanjue to answer the call.

Zhan Hanjue slightly furrowed his brows, pondered for two seconds, and realized who Chen was.

Wasn’t he the one sent to wait for Wan Yufeng and Wen Daofu?

"What’s wrong?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Chen immediately said, "Mr. Zhan, Wen Daofu is in trouble."

Ye Ningwan was pressed down by Zhan Hanjue and was about to fall asleep again.

However, she didn’t fully drift off; one ear was still listening to the conversation between Zhan Hanjue and Chen.

Upon hearing the words "Wen Daofu is in trouble," she immediately widened her eyes.

"What happened?" Ye Ningwan suddenly sat up and asked.

Zhan Hanjue also had the same question.

Chen replied, "He was originally talking with Wan Yufeng at the villa, but later, after Wan Yufeng left, he didn’t leave. When we found him, he had been tied up and thrown into the river."

"Dead?" Ye Ningwan also leaned toward the phone.

Chen answered, "No, but he’s unconscious now. We don’t dare send him to a hospital in Philadelphia. After all, this is Wan Yufeng’s territory. If he finds out, he might strike again."

Upon hearing that he wasn’t dead, Ye Ningwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhan Hanjue also praised Chen: "Well done, don’t send him to the hospital. I’ll arrange for someone to go over right away and figure out a way to bring him back."

"Okay, I understand," Chen agreed.

After hanging up, Zhan Hanjue said to Ye Ningwan, "Looks like this Wan Yufeng is indeed not simple. Perhaps there’s more to the truth about your parents’ car accident back then."

To kill so decisively, if there was no previous record, how could he be so skilled and ruthless.

"Maybe. Regardless, we need to save Wen Daofu first. Keep an eye on Wan Yufeng’s side," Ye Ningwan said coldly.

Zhan Hanjue immediately made a call to send someone, using a helicopter to bring Wen Daofu back.

Knowing Wen Daofu was coming back, Ye Ningwan got up before dawn to head over.

Zhan Hanjue said, "Wait until daylight to go over!"

Ye Ningwan shook her head, "No, I need to hurry over to check on his condition. He can’t die."

Seeing her insistence, Zhan Hanjue also got up to accompany her over.

Wen Daofu was secretly arranged to stay in an apartment.

Ye Ningwan felt his pulse, finding that he was just unconscious, fortunately not dead.

The reasons for his unconsciousness, aside from being given sleeping pills, included a head injury.

Ye Ningwan saw it was bandaged, but the dressing was very sloppy.

Chen and the others didn’t know how to bandage, and they didn’t dare send him to a hospital. They could only use their limited bandaging skills to stop the bleeding promptly.

"The head’s fine, and although the bandaging is crude, it worked. It’s just that the sleeping pills were abundant. It seems they really wanted to kill him. Even if drowning didn’t kill him, the sleeping pills could."

"Should we do a gastric lavage?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ye Ningwan responded, "Of course, he needs gastric lavage. Induction of vomiting won’t work. Thankfully, modern technology is advanced; arrange for a lavage right away."

Zhan Hanjue nodded and immediately arranged for a hospital and sent Wen Daofu for gastric lavage.

Indeed, post lavage, Wen Daofu woke up shortly thereafter.

However, his face remained pale without a hint of blood.

Ye Ningwan came over to see him and fed him a bowl of herbal medicine.

"Can you speak now?" After feeding him the medicine and pausing a bit, Ye Ningwan asked.

Wen Daofu nodded.

"Was it Wan Yufeng who did it?" Ye Ningwan asked.

"Yes."

"Why did he want to kill you?"

"Because I was going to expose his crimes and reveal Mrs. Wan’s true identity. We couldn’t come to an agreement, so he tried to kill me."

"Do you know who the doctor providing psychological treatment to my mother is?" Ye Ningwan asked again.

"I found out, his name is Chen Wen, a very famous psychologist. However, the reason for his fame is due to Wan Yufeng’s support," Wen Daofu said.

Ye Ningwan furrowed her brow and murmured softly, "Chen Wen."

"I heard you met with Li Qingqing and talked for a few hours. What did you discuss?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Wen Daofu looked at her in surprise.

Ye Ningwan said, "You don’t have to look so surprised. If I hadn’t had someone watching over you, how would I have known you were almost killed by Wan Yufeng, and how could I have saved you in time?"

"She has some new research results and ideas. I think... they have some merit. I’ve always said she has talent in this area. If she’s willing to study earnestly, she has immense potential. She herself feels she took the wrong path and wasted so many years; she wants to study Chinese medicine again."

"Do you believe what she said?" Ye Ningwan laughed softly.

Wen Daofu remained silent.

Ye Ningwan understood; he believed her.

Therefore, he talked with Li Qingqing for several hours.

And so readily forgave her.
