Mr. Ruan was the first to rush to the door of the ward. When he was about to go in to see his granddaughter, the doctor stopped him: "Although his life has been temporarily saved, we must continue to observe and cannot go in."
Mr. Ruan quickly took two steps back: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you in everything."
The ward is sterile and completely sealed, but there is a glass window through which you can see inside.
Mr. Ruan walked to the window and looked in. His granddaughter had a respirator on her face and tubes on her hands and body.
Mr. Ruan frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong.
At such an old age, he is also a frequent visitor to the hospital, and he knows some basic medical knowledge.
How can we insert so many tubes when it's just to treat trauma?
He asked the doctor doubtfully: "My granddaughter has a head injury and ischemia. Shouldn't she need a blood transfusion? Why do we need to wear this kind of... this kind of dialysis equipment?"
The doctor's face was heavy: "Actually, the injury on her head was not serious. What really caused her to be in critical condition was her mercury poisoning and kidney failure."
Mr. Ruan's pupils trembled: "What?! How did my granddaughter get mercury poisoning?! Doctor, do you know how she got mercury poisoning?"
The doctor said solemnly: "We found mercury deposits in her lungs and a lot of toxins in her blood. It is initially speculated that she has been inhaling mercury vapor through the respiratory tract for a long time."
Mr. Ruan couldn't figure it out, and asked with trembling lips: "How could she be poisoned? My granddaughter goes to the company every day besides going home. How could she be exposed to this kind of thing for a long time?"
The doctor replied: "This may require police investigation."
It happened that the police also sent someone to inquire about Ruan Xiuxiu's injuries. He had to explain to the police, so he left first.
The only thing Mr. Ruan can do now is to wait, wait for his granddaughter to wake up, wait for the results of the police investigation, and wait for the results of his own investigation.
…
In the fire escape at the end of the hospital corridor, Wen Jiu, Qiao Laoshi and Qiao Beibei were still waiting here.
Just now when they saw Mr. Ruan and his entourage rushing in, they deliberately hid in without asking for a face-to-face encounter.
One is Xiang Zichuan's ex-wife and daughter, and the other is Xiang Zichuan's current fiancée. It's a bit embarrassing to see the family members.
But they all heard what the doctor and Mr. Ruan said just now.
Wen Jiu comforted the mother and son in a low voice: "Don't think so wildly. Ruan Xiuxiu is still alive now, and the injury on her head is not the root cause. When she wakes up, everything will become clear. How about I send you back first?"
Qiao Mingshi lowered her head and looked at her daughter. Even if she didn't want to rest, she still had to think about her daughter.
And Wen Jiu, as a friend, came with the mother and daughter. It would be wrong for her to worry about them all the time.
Then he nodded: "Okay."
The three of them walked to the elevator together.
Wen Jiu reached out and was about to press the elevator button when the elevator door suddenly opened.
Xiang Zichuan walked out surrounded by a group of people.
Xiang Zichuan suddenly saw these three people and looked surprised. He looked first at Wen Jiu, then at Qiao Mingshi and his daughter.
Qiao Mashi was equally surprised.
She could tell that Xiang Zichuan must have just experienced a violent fight. Half of his tall nose was blue, his waist might have been injured, and his walking posture was a bit awkward.
"Dad..." Qiao Beibei called him softly.
She wanted to ask him if he was the murderer, but when she saw the men in black surrounding him, she was a little scared and immediately hid behind Qiao Mashi, not daring to say anything else.
Xiang Zichuan smiled at his daughter, said nothing, and walked straight forward.
He licked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and when it touched the loose back molar, he felt a sharp pain again, and his smile couldn't stop.
Fortunately, the three people behind him could no longer see his expression.
"Let's go." He heard Wen Jiu's calm and gentle voice coming from behind him.
He turned his face slightly and saw from the corner of his eye that the elevator door had closed.
He turned around and walked up to Mr. Ruan.
Without saying a word, Mr. Ruan grabbed his collar and pressed him against the wall in the corridor.
There was a loud "dong" sound, and due to inertia, the back of Xiang Zichuan's head hit the wall hard.
Mr. Ruan didn't care whether he lived or died, and asked sternly: "What's going on with mercury poisoning? Xiu Xiu has been healthy all her life, but after living with you for a month, she got mercury poisoning and her kidneys failed. Don't tell me that it's none of your business."
!”
Xiang Zichuan's eyes turned red, and there was an unusual warmth coming from his nose.
He raised the back of his hand and wiped the blood on the back of his hand.
In fact, it is hard to hold on until this point.
Mr. Ruan's strong and strong hands were still holding his neck firmly.
He couldn't hold it on any longer, his vision went dark and he passed out.
Mr. Ruan's hands were also stained with a lot of Xiang Zichuan's blood. He stared at his hands and noticed something was wrong.
I have always been very measured in what I do. I just want to wait for Xiuxiu to wake up and send him to the police station with all his beard and tail intact. Before that, I can punch him a few times to vent my anger. I have no intention of actually hurting him.
So why did he faint?
Could it be that he is too weak?
Mr. Ruan looked disgusted and turned around to tell the housekeeper: "Find a doctor to find out what's wrong with him."
"OK."
The housekeeper immediately went to call the doctors and nurses.
After a while, the ambulance bed pushed Xiang Zichuan into the consulting room.
After some examination, the doctor came out and explained the situation to Mr. Ruan.
"Like Miss Ruan, he also suffers from mercury poisoning and kidney failure."
Mr. Ruan frowned: "What? He was also poisoned? Is he dangerous?"
The doctor shook his head: "His condition is slightly better. Everyone's physique is different. Even if they are exposed to the same environment, the conditions and chances of getting sick are also different."
Mr. Ruan can understand.
There are often reports in the news that when a family moves into a new home and uses low-quality paint, some family members will be induced by leukemia due to formaldehyde and benzene, but some family members will not be affected. This is because everyone's body is different.
The suspicion of Xiang Zichuan in his heart has been reduced a lot.
After all, there is no quantity in poisoning, and if you don't control it well, you will die.
It should be impossible for a selfish person like Xiang Zichuan to risk his own life.
Mr. Ruan worried all night, speculated all night, and got angry all night.
Now I feel like I guessed the wrong suspect, and I feel a little confused for a moment.
But he glanced at his granddaughter through the glass window of the sterile ward, and calmed down no matter how confused he was.
He ordered the people around him: "Find someone to go to Xiuxiu's house to find out what caused the mercury poisoning."
…
A whole night passed, and Ruan Xiuxiu showed no sign of waking up.
The people brought by Mr. Ruan couldn't hold it anymore and were napping next to him, but he was still staring at the condition of his granddaughter in the ward.
His son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all mediocre people and have been sent to overseas branches by him long ago to avoid being disliked by him.
Only this granddaughter is the most like him in her fierce and cruel spirit.
He usually loves this granddaughter the most. As long as she has a clear mind about matters in the shopping mall, he has always doted on her in matters of private life.
I'm used to having trouble happen.
Mr. Ruan rubbed his sour eyes and held back tears.
The housekeeper suddenly came over and opened it, interrupting the silence: "Sir, do you want to wash this coat and return it, or buy a new one and return it?"
Mr. Ruan turned around and glanced: "Whose?"
The housekeeper said: "It's Wen Jiu. I heard from the nurse that the ambulance went to pick up the young lady that day. She was not fully clothed. A woman happened to be passing by and saw her, so she covered her with a piece of clothing.
"Then I saw an invoice in the pocket of my clothes, signed by Wen Jiu, and I went to her colleagues to check and confirm that the clothes were indeed Wen Jiu's. But I didn't know what the master planned to do with it, so I haven't returned it yet."
Mr. Ruan's face, which had been stiff all night, softened a little: "This is a careful girl who knows how to treat Xiuxiu with dignity."
After thinking about it, he added: "This is a great favor. How can I just give back a piece of clothing? Let's give her a big gift."
"You mean?"
Mr. Ruan said: "Go and see if Xiang Zichuan is dead. If he is, bring him over."
