Chapter 1676 There is a clue
The smell of disinfectant permeates the air in the hospital all year round.
Nan Weiwei came again, carrying fresh fruit she had just bought from outside, her expression full of worry.
She was really worried about Xu Xiaoxiao. Even though Fu Yanchen had "sent" her back several times before, she couldn't help but come again.
Nan Weiwei gently pushed open the door to the ward and saw Xu Xiaoxiao lying on the hospital bed, watching a short drama. Her face was still a little pale, but much better than a couple of days ago.
She walked quickly to the bedside, placed the fruit on the bedside table, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I've come to see you. How are you feeling today? Are you feeling any better? Why are you watching these mindless dramas again? Won't Fu Yanchen say anything?"
When Xu Xiaoxiao saw that it was Nan Weiwei, a smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Weiwei, I'm fine. Don't worry so much. Shh, I peeked. That old fogey Fu Yanchen wouldn't allow me to see. He only reads the Four Great Classical Novels, and he thinks I know them by heart."
Nan Weiwei... a husband with a fatherly love...
At this moment, Fu Yanchen walked in from outside the ward and saw Nan Weiwei, his face showing a hint of displeasure.
"Hey, Fu Yanchen, what's with that expression? Not welcoming me?"
He frowned and said irritably, "Nan Weiwei, you come here three times a day, aren't you annoyed?" His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of impatience.
Upon hearing Fu Yanchen's words, Nan Weiwei felt a surge of anger.
She turned her head, glared at Fu Yanchen, and said, "Fu Yanchen, how can you talk like that? Xiaoxiao is my sister. What's wrong with me coming to see her? I can't leave her alone, so can't I come a few more times?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Xu Xiaoxiao said, "Fu Yanchen, how can you talk to Weiwei like that? She's just concerned about me. Also, you two shouldn't start arguing every time you meet."
With Xu Xiaoxiao's support, Nan Weiwei became even more confident.
She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "That's right, Fu Yanchen, do you have a problem with me looking after my sister? Besides, if I hadn't been greedy and ordered takeout, Xiaoxiao wouldn't have suffered this ordeal. I'm atoning for my sins now, and you have a problem with that too? Didn't you used to love having people atone for their sins the most?"
Nan Weiwei deliberately emphasized the word "before," her eyes carrying a hint of provocation.
When Fu Yanchen heard Nan Weiwei bring up the past, his expression changed slightly. He thought to himself that he was in a bad mood and was afraid of upsetting Xiaoxiao.
He had long wanted to put those past events behind him, but he never expected Nan Weiwei to bring them up again at this time.
He coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, that's all in the past. Why are you bringing it up again?"
Nan Weiwei persisted, saying, "What? Feeling guilty? When you asked others to atone for their sins before, why didn't you feel embarrassed? Now that it's your turn to be criticized, you can't stand it?"
Seeing that the two were arguing more and more intensely, Xu Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would ruin their relationship, so she deliberately coughed a few times to interrupt their bickering: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. I need some peace and quiet now. I can't get any rest from all this arguing."
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words, Fu Yanchen and Nan Weiwei immediately shut their mouths.
Fu Yanchen walked to Xu Xiaoxiao's side with some guilt and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have argued with Weiwei. You should rest well, I won't argue anymore."
Nan Weiwei quickly added, "Xiaoxiao, it's my fault. I shouldn't have gotten so agitated. You should take good care of yourself. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, she sat on the edge of the bed, picked up an apple, and began to slowly peel it. The ward finally returned to silence.
But... Nan Weiwei is Nan Weiwei, how could she possibly be quiet and peaceful all day?
The brief silence in the ward lasted only three seconds. After three seconds, Nan Weiwei couldn't hold back and broke the silence again: "Fu Yanchen, um, let's not argue, let's talk it out."
"OK." Fu Yanchen was too lazy to argue with him.
"The person who drugged me is definitely the fried chicken shop owner. Have they caught him yet?"
Fu Yanchen frowned slightly, his tone calm yet steady as he said, "No, but we have a lead. The owner of the fried chicken and burger shop is probably from a neighboring city. His employees said that a month ago, an elderly couple came to the shop, claiming to be the owner's parents."
"A little while later, their boss really came and took the two elderly people away. We have already located the two elderly people's whereabouts based on the surveillance footage, and Lin Nuo has already gone there."
His gaze drifted out the window, as if he were pondering the next steps in the investigation.
Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei's tense nerves relaxed slightly. She nodded gently and let out a long sigh, saying, "That's good. Otherwise, I would have felt so guilty. If I hadn't been so greedy and ordered that takeout, Xiaoxiao wouldn't have suffered like this." Nan Weiwei was filled with self-reproach.
Fu Yanchen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. He snorted and said, "Oh ho, you feel guilty too?" His tone was full of teasing and disdain.
Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei's eyes widened instantly, her cheeks flushed red with anger, and she cursed inwardly, "You bastard!" But she suppressed her anger and didn't lash out on the spot; instead, she glared fiercely at Fu Yanchen.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao, lying on the hospital bed, spoke up: "Fu Yanchen, I always feel that he's just doing things for money, and there's someone else behind him. You must keep a close eye on the fried chicken shop owner's parents. What if the person behind it all kills them to cover it up? That would not only implicate innocent people, but also destroy the only clue."
Fu Yanchen's expression turned serious after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words. Yes, Xiaoxiao was right. Fortunately, he always kept a low profile.
"Don't worry, it's all a covert investigation, not many people know about it. I'll arrange for people to protect them and won't give the mastermind any opportunity. Don't worry about these things, just get some rest."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said softly, "It's good that you've made the arrangements." After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes, seemingly a little tired and wanting to rest for a while.
Nan Weiwei looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, tucked her in with heartache, then turned to Fu Yanchen and said in a low voice, "Fu Yanchen, you must find out the truth about this as soon as possible and give Xiaoxiao an explanation. Otherwise, I will take matters into my own hands and beat that bastard to death."
Fu Yanchen didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, then turned and walked out of the ward.
Suburban Villa
The man smashed the cup. "How could he have been discovered? How could this bachelor be so careless, allowing Fu Yanchen to find a clue?"
"Young Master... I didn't expect this either."
"What do we do now? Huh, tell me!" the man said angrily.
"Young Master... actually..."
