Xing Bi suspiciously furrowed her brows and shot a narrowed glance at him.
Nian sheepishly grinned. "I am rich. I have power. I have influence. I am very useful, Xing Bi~ That's why nobody is ever in a position to offend ."
Her brow twitched. "So have I offended you Mr. Liu by beating you up after the Summit that night?"
Yijun was keenly interested.
Hoo. Sobody beat up Bro Nian?
Nian gasped in shock. "Of course not dear! You are not included in that sentence. I will never be offended by whatever you do," he chirped.
Xing Bi had a lot of questions about what he said but for now, she reverted her attention back to Yijun. "Officer. Like I said, please consider my request. Don't charge Liu Nian with murder…"
He shook his head. "It won't co to that. Before I say anything further, I am waiting for Mr. Gu Yating - Ah, there he is." it wasn't only Yating who had arrived. The atmosphere took a steep chill with Jun who entered the sa ti as Yating.
Yating stiffened and recalled the intimate picture of Jun and Ai circling in social dia all over the country. His expression beca unsightly that only brought satisfaction to Jun.
Usually, Jun hated the sight of Yating anywhere near him or Ai. But today, he was especially looking forward to eting him because he was sure that Yating would have seen the picture. It was impossible not to.
"Good evening, Mr. Gu. You seem to be in a good mood~"
Yating threw him a nasty glare. He was in no mood for a coback when he was being cornered on all sides, first by Ai's relationship with Jun and then with his own father in jail.
Nian bead. "Juuuuunnn! My dear little brother! Have you co to save your big brother here?"
Jun scowled. "Save? Save who? I will be happy if you and Bro Jian are dumped into jail even without any charge."
"..."
"So an! Is this the only respect you have for your big brother?"
Jun sneered and refused to comnt.
Xing Bi quietly stared at Jun and observed him. Naturally, she had seen the picture too. She already had an inkling that their relationship would definitely take this turn one day ever since she learned that Ai lived with Jun under one roof. But now he was in front of her officially as Ai's boyfriend.
Jun held his gaze at her for a mont and nodded. She was the only one among Yating, Nian and Xing Bi herself whose presence he acknowledged.
He then looked at Yijun and asked, "I heard you found so nurse who might be related to that judge's death?"
Yating took his seat and narrowed his eyes. "What did she tell you? Did she…did she take Dad's na?"
"No."
Yijun sat opposite them and said, "I questioned the hospital's staff and found that one nurse had been missing since Mr. Wang died. She didn't report to duty the next day and apparently, she sent her resignation."
"She was running away," Jun stated.
"Indeed. We caught her while trying to flee from her house though. After interrogating her here, she broke down and said that she accidentally injected a wrong dose of dicine in the saline bottle. She was new to her job, so the confusion happened. I confird this too. Indeed, she joined City X hospital just two months back. She was still under nurse's training. After the wrong injection, Mr. Wang's condition worsened, which was already weak…" he eyed Nian, who was sneakily trying to inch closer towards Xing Bi, "due to a certain soone here…"
Nian didn't catch the accusation in Yijun's tone. He was too busy catching Xing Bi's attention.
Yijun's mouth twitched. "Anyway. When Mr. Wang died, she panicked because she knew she would be charged with dical negligence, and so she fled. Or at least tried to."
Xing Bi's serious expression lightened. "So, Liu Nian won't be held accountable for his death anymore?"
"No. Though he will still have to process so formalities to be completely free of the assault charges."
She was relieved. This whole ti, she felt guilty for dragging Nian because of her problem. "That's great…"
Nian eagerly asked, "Xing Bi, Xing Bi! How about we celebrate my freedom with a lovely d-d-date?" He blushed.
Xing Bi blankly stared at him. "Is 'FOOL' written on my face that I will agree to it? You don't need a date, you need a brain checkup! Also, I am not interested in liars! And those who scold my lovely Ai!"
It was a brutal strike through Nian's heart.
Jun ignored their banter and asked after a mont of silence, "So, it was dical negligence after all?"
"Yes."
He squinted his eyes. "But what if she is threatened to take the bla and say it was an accident?"
"I did check from that angle too. But footage says otherwise. I saw her stepping out of the ward all flustered and panicked. Then I checked the register, and she had taken a half day leave too. So she did realize the blunder she had made. She hasn't t anybody suspicious either to give her any instructions."
Jun clicked his tongue in anger. He thought Guiying might be behind it but just like bribery, she had no connection to the case.
Fuck! Why is this happening?
Yating said, "So, Dad is not involved in it."
Yijun glanced at him. "Yes. But he is still involved with the bribery case because Mr. Zheng's testimony still stands."
"I know."
Xing Bi was irked. "Gu Yating. What is the aning of this? Why would your father hate Ai so much?"
The temperature chilled down as Jun slowly retaliated. "Not just his father. Seems like my Ai has many enemies…" his curled fist shook with an urge to punch Yating thinking how Ai died because of him and Guiying in the past life.
Yating gazed at Xing Bi. "I am sorry, Xing Bi. Nobody…" he clenched the edge of his seat's handle, "is more disappointed than I am. But no matter how much it hurts and even if Dad is my family, he will be punished for plotting against Ai. I won't do anything to help him."
Jun laughed. "Help? As if you ever had that choice. Don't be in an illusion, Gu Yating. Whether it's you, your father or any so called best friend," his dark brown eyes shone with murderous intent, "I won't let anybody escape once they dare to touch my girlfriend. You better get that straight in your head."
