Chapter 243 The Body Has Been Found
Xiao Jingchen woke up to the smell of disinfectant.
He looked at the figure with his back to him not far away, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and spoke impatiently.
"Lin Ran?"
The figure seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then "Lin Ran" turned her head.
"Brother Jingchen, you're finally awake! How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Ye Chuchu suppressed the jealousy and resentment in her eyes and looked at Xiao Jingchen with a gentle expression.
Xiao Jingchen calmed down and pressed his temples, his head throbbing with pain.
"water."
Xiao Jingchen's voice was hoarse and carried a hint of coldness.
Ye Chuchu stood there stunned for a moment before she reacted, and hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"Brother Jingchen, here you go."
Xiao Jingchen did not answer, but silently finished drinking the water in one gulp.
Just then, Zhou Qing walked in and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Jingchen had woken up.
"Mr. Xiao, I'll go and call the doctor right away."
"Need not."
Xiao Jingchen frowned, glanced at the needle on the back of his hand, and pulled it out without hesitation.
Blood beads oozed from the injection site, but Xiao Jingchen seemed not to notice. He gently wiped it away with his index finger and got up to get out of bed.
"Mr. Xiao, you are very weak right now, how can you walk? You should rest for a while."
Zhou Qing pursed her lips and stood by the bed to stop Xiao Jingchen's actions.
"Besides, if Madam were still here, she would definitely be angry to see you like this, Mr. Xiao. You can't let Madam be angry, can you?"
As soon as he said that, Xiao Jingchen's resistant expression indeed dissipated considerably.
He glanced at Zhou Qing, said nothing more, and silently sat back down.
"Call the doctor over."
Zhou Qing's face lit up with joy, and he nodded before turning and leaving the ward.
Ye Chuchu seemed to have been forgotten from beginning to end, standing there without any presence.
She clenched her sleeves and lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in them.
After a long while, she raised her head again, the emotions in her eyes already concealed.
"Brother Jingchen, you should rest well first. I'll come to see you later."
Xiao Jingchen nodded absentmindedly, completely unaware of her expression.
Soon, the nurse came in and put the needle back in.
However, Xiao Jingchen did not intend to rest for a while. He asked Zhou Qing to bring over his laptop and sat on the bed dealing with company matters.
Even if Zhou Qing wanted to offer some advice, he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand silently to the side.
"Has the person been found?"
Xiao Jingchen asked a question out of the blue, and Zhou Qing was stunned for a few seconds before slowly shaking his head.
"Continue to send more people to search."
Zhou Qing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed.
"Okay Mr. Xiao."
Meanwhile, Ye Chuchu left the hospital and went straight back to the Ye family home.
When Wang Mei saw her return at this time, she was about to ask her something when she was pulled upstairs by the arm.
The mother and daughter entered the room, and Ye Chuchu only spoke after locking the door, her tone full of resentment.
"Mom, prepare two corpses for me. Remember, one of them must be a pregnant woman."
"A corpse? What are you going to do with it?"
Ye Chuchu narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly.
"It's all because of that bitch Lin Ran. She's already dead, but she's still restless. Brother Jingchen still won't give up."
"How could those two people still be alive in such a deep sea?"
"Since Xiao Jingchen wants a corpse, then I'll prepare one for him."
Ye Chuchu curled her lips into a cold smile.
"Only when Lin Ran disappears completely will Brother Jingchen turn his attention to me."
"Mom, you'll help me, right?"
Ye Chuchu's expression changed instantly; her face turned pitiful as she blinked at Wang Mei.
Wang Mei knew that her future wealth and status would depend on her, so she simply lowered her head and thought for a moment before agreeing without hesitation.
"Don't worry, Chuchu, it's just two corpses. It's not a big deal. I promise I'll take care of it for you tomorrow."
Upon hearing Wang Mei's words, a barely perceptible madness flashed in Ye Chuchu's eyes, and she nestled into Wang Mei's arms with a delicate and coquettish expression.
"Thank you, Mom. I knew you were the best to me."
The next morning, Xiao Jingchen was working on documents in his office when Zhou Qing rushed in and whispered something in his ear.
Xiao Jingchen's expression changed, and he left the company in a hurry without even looking at the documents in his hand.
Ye Chuchu didn't make a fuss this time, but silently watched Xiao Jingchen leave, a satisfied smile appearing on her red lips.
On the road, a black Buick was speeding along like a madman.
"Zhou Qing, get through it."
With Xiao Jingchen's order, Zhou Qing, who was already quite fast, floored the accelerator.
At the port, the car tires rubbed against the ground, making a loud noise.
Everyone on the shore was drawn to it.
Xiao Jingchen didn't even bother to stop the car properly. He jumped out of the car and stumbled towards the two corpses covered with white sheets.
The usually calm man was now trembling, his usually composed eyes filled with anxiety as he carefully lifted the white cloth.
The body under the white sheet was swollen from being soaked in seawater, and many parts appeared to have been eaten by fish, leaving many mutilated areas.
Especially the face, which almost entirely disappeared.
Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath and covered the white cloth back up.
"Take him back to the hospital."
"Okay Mr. Xiao."
Seeing that Xiao Jingchen left so easily, Zhou Qing felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She could only follow his instructions and send the body to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the location, he looked at Xiao Jingchen standing in the room and revealed a knowing look.
Sure enough, he knew Xiao Jingchen wouldn't just glance at him and leave.
"Go find a doctor to come and see if they can identify the two people."
Xiao Jingchen's voice was very calm, showing no sign of sadness.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Zhou Qing felt.
"Mr. Xiao, the body has been in the sea for too long, I'm afraid these things will be undetectable."
Xiao Jingchen was not surprised by this answer.
"Then let's see how big the baby in this person's belly is."
Xiao Jingchen calmly gave the instructions.
A dozen minutes later, the doctor brought the results.
“Mr. Xiao, this child is at least six months old.”
"Six months..."
Xiao Jingchen carefully considered the words, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
He waved his hand, signaling the doctor to leave.
"Mr. Xiao, is there anything wrong with this body?"
Seeing that Xiao Jingchen's expression was off, Zhou Qing asked cautiously.
