CHAPTER 787: CHAPTER 787: HIRING A HITMAN

Li Huan stared at the young nurse in shock.

"What big event? Even if it’s a big event, it wouldn’t be my turn to handle it."

The young nurse, panting, said, "The surgery room you arranged in the morning, the patient was hit by a car at the hospital entrance, and now she’s bleeding heavily and has been sent back to the operating room."

"Who?" Li Huan’s breath hitched.

It couldn’t be as he thought, could it?

"It’s that person called... Fu Shu."

As soon as she said that.

Li Huan turned and rushed out. Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen exchanged a glance and followed.

She caught up with the young nurse while asking, "How did Fu Shu suddenly get hit?"

"They said it was while crossing the road, hit by a car that suddenly turned. The driver got nervous, confused the accelerator with the brake, and ran right over her."

"Did they catch the driver?" Lin Zhiyi asked again.

"They did. Colleagues said the driver sat in the car motionless, dumbfounded."

The young nurse shook her head as she spoke.

Lin Zhiyi felt a mix of emotions.

But fortunately, the driver was caught.

In no time, Lin Zhiyi and the group reached outside the operating room.

Fu Bin stared blankly at the operating room light.

Gong Chen stepped forward, "How’s it going?"

Fu Bin raised his trembling hands, still stained with fresh blood.

"The doctor said Xiao Shu is bleeding heavily, her uterus can’t be saved, she’s still so young..."

Lin Zhiyi was stunned.

How did things turn out like this?

At this moment, the operation light dimmed.

The doctor walked out of the operating room and shook his head at Fu Bin.

"The uterus couldn’t be saved, but the bleeding has stopped."

"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu..."

Fu Bin was in a state of despair, deeply mired in self-blame.

Lin Zhiyi was about to console him when suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps came.

Looking in the direction of the sound, it was Captain Xing leading a group over.

Captain Xing was the one handling the Bai Family case.

Why was he here?

Lin Zhiyi was curious, but Captain Xing had already stopped in front of her.

He glanced at Gong Chen first, then spoke to Lin Zhiyi with resignation.

"Miss Lin, you’re suspected of being involved in a murder-for-hire case. Please come with us."

Lin Zhiyi was in a daze for a few seconds.

Her brain took a while to process the terrifying words murder-for-hire.

"I didn’t." She subconsciously replied.

"Please cooperate with the investigation." Captain Xing said seriously.

"..."

Before Lin Zhiyi could speak, Fu Bin rushed over like mad.

"It’s you! You ruined my sister! That was Third Young Master’s child too!"

As his hand was about to strike Lin Zhiyi, Gong Chen and Captain Xing quickly blocked in front of her.

Captain Xing said, "Don’t act rashly. Before the matter is clarified, you don’t want to end up in the station for assaulting someone, do you?"

Gong Chen was not bothered to explain so much, directly shielding her.

"It’s not Zhiyi, she wouldn’t do that."

The usually courteous Fu Bin, upon hearing this, seemed to explode as if something ignited him.

"If not her, then who? She just doesn’t want my sister to give birth to your child! So she arranged for someone to hit my sister! Without her, my sister would have been just fine!"

"Third Young Master, no matter who you are, having harmed my sister, I won’t let it go!"

Gong Chen stared at him, his eyes unfathomably deep.

"How are you so sure your sister would’ve been fine? You left with Fu Shu, why was Fu Shu crossing the road and you were fine?"

Fu Bin was choked, even taking a few steps back.

He leaned against the wall, head lowered, "No matter what Third Young Master says, this matter won’t just end like this."

"Suit yourself."

Gong Chen turned and pulled Lin Zhiyi over to Captain Xing.

"Let’s go, we are willing to cooperate with the investigation."

"Okay."

Captain Xing led the team away.

On the way, he looked somewhat surprised at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.

"Third Young Master, is that woman really carrying your child? I’m not being nosy, just asking about the motive."

Gong Chen coldly replied, "Not my child."

Seeing his resolute statement, Captain Xing didn’t ask further.

He turned his head to look at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi knew what he wanted to ask.

She proactively explained, "I’ve known long ago. Even if I really minded the child, today Third Young Master and I could have had Fu Shu undergo a regular abortion instead of hiring someone to murder."

Captain Xing nodded.

"What’s strange is, the captured driver directly said it was you who paid him to hit Fu Shu."

"How could I have paid him? If a transfer, there’d definitely be a record." Lin Zhiyi refuted.

"Cash, in the bag there was a picture of Fu Shu, and a note with time and place written on it. You don’t even need to meet, the transaction could be done online since he took the order online." Captain Xing said.

Lin Zhiyi was baffled upon hearing this.

Captain Xing sighed, "It’s a strange world we live in, the man who committed the crime is somewhat cynical and was easily instigated to agree to drive into someone."

"Did you find out the account of the other party?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

Captain Xing listened, then turned to look at Lin Zhiyi in the back seat.

"Yours, that’s why we came to you so quickly."

"How could it be mine? I..."

Lin Zhiyi took out her phone, checking all her accounts one by one, finding no record of hiring anyone.

Until Captain Xing produced an old account of hers.

In this day and age, who doesn’t have a secondary account?

But she had forgotten the password, yet someone used her secondary account to hire for murder.

Lin Zhiyi was so infuriated she didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, Captain Xing wasn’t someone who rushes to judgement.

He said, "Don’t worry, our technicians have examined your secondary account. The IP address has been changing, hacking is indeed involved, just that the other party seems prepared, making it a bit tricky to trace."

Gong Chen looked at Captain Xing’s phone.

"This matter is primarily targeting Zhiyi and the child Fu Shu is carrying, not many know about Fu Shu’s pregnancy."

"Yes." Lin Zhiyi nodded, "We just need to investigate who knew about Fu Shu’s pregnancy."

Captain Xing: "Then we need Miss Lin to cooperate with the investigation since the accident happened right at the hospital entrance, too many people saw it, and it was even filmed and put online. We must quickly provide the public with an outcome."

"Mm."

Arriving at the police station.

As soon as Lin Zhiyi got out of the car, she noticed flashes of cameras.

She was startled for a moment.

Just as she was about to raise a hand to shield herself, Gong Chen wrapped her head with a coat.

She lowered her head, "How come there are reporters?"

Gong Chen murmured, "Seems like someone tipped off the reporters ahead of time, someone wants to blow this up."

"This time you might get dragged in as well."

Lin Zhiyi was somewhat worried, gripping the coat tightly.

In the next second, Gong Chen pulled her closer.

"Between you and me, there’s no such thing as dragging each other down."

Lin Zhiyi stretched her hand out from under the coat, holding his hand tightly.

"No matter what happens, we face it together."

Gong Chen didn’t speak, only a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

With the help of the police, they managed to evade the reporters and stepped into the police station.

As soon as Lin Zhiyi steadied herself, she heard a stranger’s voice ahead.

"It’s her! It’s her!"
