Chapter 522: 522: The Mistress is Dead
In the morning, Qiao Yin was busy in the medical clinic, and at noon, she drove to Shensong Hospital.
These two days, the media had reported on the two vegetative patients, bringing slight attention and buzz to the hospital. A number of kind-hearted netizens were actively helping them find their family members. Some netizens even voluntarily donated money to these two individuals, asking the hospital to keep them alive.
Thanks to this minor stir, the hospital was seeing slightly more patients than usual.
Qiao Yin felt gratified; everything was proceeding methodically according to her plan.
Only after completing acupuncture therapy for a patient did Qiao Yin call for a takeaway meal.
While eating, she casually opened a news article pushed to her mobile phone, and was then so shocked that she couldn’t swallow her food for a good while—Lan Ruikang’s mistress was dead!
She had died in a car accident.
The news reported that the police had confirmed it was an accident, the driver at fault had fled the scene after hitting the woman, and they were now on the hunt for him.
But Qiao Yin believed this was no accident!
How could it be such a coincidence? The woman’s affair with Lan Ruikang had just been exposed not too long ago and she had died in a car accident!
Taken together with Lan Yuyi’s hiring a murderer to kill her grandmother, it was highly likely that she and her mother had conspired to kill the mistress.
Qiao Yin felt a coldness in her heart, Lan Yuyi and her mother were becoming increasingly ruthless!
Who knew what these people would do in future!
Lan’s Hospital.
Lan Ruikang stood in front of a cold body, his eyes rimmed with red, the grief overwhelming.
This was his woman, the woman he loved the most.
When she was brought to the hospital, she was still alive, she had even held his hand and tried to talk to him when she saw him.
Unfortunately, he had not been able to save her life in the end.
He hated his insufficiency in medical skills, not being able to save her young life.
He despised the driver who had hit her and run away even more. If she had been sent to the hospital immediately after the accident, she might have had a chance to survive. Then their child would not have lost a mother, and he would not have lost his beloved.
His wife sobbed quietly by his side, gently consoling him: “Ruikang, don’t be too hard on yourself, no one wished for this to happen, you’ve done your best to save her.”
Lan Ruikang turned his head stiffly, looking at her with cold eyes: “With her dead, wouldn’t you be the happiest? Now you’re here shedding crocodile tears, aren’t you?”
Wen Bilan felt wronged: “What are you saying? How could I be happy about her death? Do you see me as such a heartless and malicious person?”
“Yes, I do despise her for wrecking our marriage, but at most I only vented some steam by berating her a bit, I didn’t do anything else!”
“It’s immoral for her to be a mistress, but it doesn’t deserve a death penalty. I never wished for her death, I’m not that petty!”
“Moreover, when Madam Lu proposed to send her and the child away last time, I pleaded on their behalf. I didn’t have the heart to see you separated from your child. Haven’t I been kind and magnanimous enough? What else do you want me to do?”
Lan Ruikang stared at her motionlessly, like a monstrous creature about to devour her: “You are not a kind person. We’ve been married for decades, I know you all too well, Wen Bilan. You must have some sort of scheme, when you offered to plead on their behalf. Tell me, did you orchestrate the car accident?”
Wen Bilan suddenly burst into tears: “Lan Ruikang, have some conscience when you speak! You were unhappy when I didn’t plead on your behalf, now that I did, you accuse me of scheming. You’ve spoken all sorts of words, are you even human?”
“You have placed an undeserved blame on me out of the blue, saying I orchestrated the car accident. Do I even have that within my power?!”
“If I were so powerful, would I allow you to cheat with a student, or even have an illegitimate child?!”
“Since you believe I orchestrated the car accident, why don’t you go to the police? Let them arrest me! I’ve done no wrong, I’m not afraid to prove my innocence at the police station!”
