Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 562: Better to Beg Xiao Ran to Beg Me

The next day, while Feng Shanshan was changing into her work attire, Mu Qiqi asked, “I remember you wore the same outfit yesterday and the day before. This is not your habit. I didn’t go to the forensics laboratory last night, so I didn’t ask. Didn’t you go home last night?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Feng Shanshan glared at Mu Qiqi.

“I thought you were not interested in Officer Tang. But let me guess, were you together last night?”

Hearing Mu Qiqi’s words, Feng Shanshan was surprised. “How did you know?”

“There is a woody smell on Officer Tang, I can smell it when I get close to him. And you smell the same. I just haven’t said anything till now. So I’m guessing it’s either you’re going to his house or you are very close to him.”

“Don’t think too much. I just stayed in his house for one night,” said Feng Shanshan helplessly. “I had nowhere to go. Given the choice, I would go to the professor’s house, or yours, rather than his.”

“But you have already been there, and you are telling me this?” Mu Qiqi couldn’t help laughing. “I’m not a busybody, but Officer Tang is a nice person. Besides, I don’t think I’m the only one who knows that. Anyone who can see knows, including the professor.”

“Stop it already.”

Although Feng Shanshan stayed in Tang Yan’s house for one night, she merely curled on the sofa whereas Tang Yan stayed in the study all night long and never came out.

They spent the night in peace. And the next morning, Tang Yan just left her some money to get a cab without even letting her see him.

This man was not a bad person at best. But he was definitely not a good-quality man!

“How is the progress of the case?”

“No new evidence found yet. And we cannot verify the identity of the mysterious man either. Despite that, there’s news about your Third Sister-in-law. After the paparazzo confessed, the police arrested the culprit last night and interrogated him. They discovered that his assets were all ill-gotten. That man could not stand the interrogation and confessed. The police should bring Mrs. Hu over for questioning soon.”

Mu Qiqi thought that she really needed to thank the team leader after the case was solved.

Mrs. Hu was living in fear these two days at home because she was unsure if her secret would remain a secret.

In fact, if it were not because of her actions, Mu Qiqi would not have discovered her in front of the police station. Then, Mu Qiqi would not have called Sheng Bowen to inform him of it.

Everything happened thanks to her own actions.

The police had successfully obtained the evidence from the man that Mrs. Hu paid for the assassination. The man also handed over a piece of recording to the police. Now that there was witness and physical evidence, the police got the arrest warrant immediately to arrest the woman in Hu Mansion.

But when the police came to the door, Papa Hu was surprised. “What are you doing here?”

“CEO Hu, the police need to bring your wife to the police station. This is for the case from two years ago. She hired an assassin to kill your daughter.”

Mrs. Hu was frightened once she heard that. Because she did not expect the matter to be uncovered so soon.

“Old Hu, I did not. Please help me. I didn’t do it.”

“We will know once we get to the police station. Arrest her!” Since it was an arrest warrant, it would mean that they had found solid evidence.

Mrs. Hu was brought to the police station immediately. And right after, Papa Hu called Xiao Ran. “Xiao Ran, the police came to arrest her.”

“Really?” Hu Ran nearly shouted in excitement. “Then wait for me, father. I will go to the police station now.”

“Come, I’ll wait at the entrance.”

At that moment, Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan were not in the police station. Mrs. Hu was sent right into the interrogation room for questioning. At the beginning, she refused to plead guilty and denied that she wanted to kill Hu Ran by disguising it as an accident. It was only when the police took out the recording of the phone conversation between her and the assassin did the last barrier in her heart collapse completely.

Papa Hu and Hu Ran waited at the door until the interrogation was over.

Later, the leader of the criminal investigation team approached the father and daughter pair. He said, “I’ve heard about Miss Hu’s case from Qiqi. You wanted to get evidence to prove that your stepmother is the culprit. You could have reported this to the police earlier.”

Hu Ran teared up after he heard him. “After the accident, that woman kept asking people to find a chance to attack me in the ward. I was only able to escape by pretending to be a fool.”

When Papa Hu heard Hu Ran pretending to be stupid, he said helplessly, “It’s all my fault. I let you suffer.”

“Father, she is very cunning.”

“Even if she is, she is arrested already, isn’t she? Don’t worry, the law will punish those who are guilty. Also, the suspect wants to see you now. Do you want to see her?”

Papa Hu nodded his head without hesitation. “Of course!”

Then, the police arranged for Papa Hu and Hu Ran to enter the interrogation room.

“Old Hu, help me. I don’t want to go to jail. I really don’t want to.”

Papa Hu sat on the chair and kept mum for a few seconds. Then, he said to the vicious woman, “The one thing that I regretted the most is meeting you. I know you are not very kind to Xiao Ran. But as long as you don’t harm her, I can tolerate you. But, I never expected you to have done so many ruthless things behind my back.”

“Old Hu, that’s because you said you only need your daughter, and that you don’t want to have a child with me.”

“This is the condition for you to marry into the Hu family. I need to be fair to my daughter. I violated my father’s oath and married you. I never thought your greediness would be so extreme.”

The woman sitting in front of them was crying so hard that her makeup was smudged.

“Old Hu, I won’t do it anymore. Please save me, I beg you.”

“It’s better for you to beg Xiao Ran, not me.”

Hu Ran did not say anything from the beginning. It was only when their eyes met did she say something.

“You know it’s impossible for me to save you. I will never waste my money to get a lawyer for a person like you. You should stay in jail and get a taste of what it means to be living like a dead person.”

“Xiao Ran, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please don’t let me die.”

“You’re only admitting that you’re wrong because you’ve been arrested and the evidence is solid,” said Hu Ran. “I am really thankful because after this, I will be totally free. I just want to ask you one thing. Did you collude with Gu Ziling? Was she the one who told you I’m allergic to honey?”

The guilty woman was very afraid of any questioning at the moment.

But the gaze in her eyes was tacit acquiescence to Papa Hu and Hu Ran.

“I just hope that the court will give you a heavy punishment. I can do whatever it takes for this.”

“Old Hu, you can’t do this to me. Really, I’m pregnant with your child. Really, it’s true,” said the woman, holding her belly.

However, Papa Hu sneered. “I had a vasectomy long ago. Didn’t you know that?”
