Chapter 382 "Brother Shuo" is a dangerous person

The rain intensified again, falling in a light drizzle.

Zeng's mother squatted down in front of her daughter, holding an umbrella, her mouth slightly open, her eyes full of astonishment, "Shi...Shi Rui..."

Mr. Zeng was also full of surprise.

Zeng Shirui's face was wet, with tears and rainwater mingling together.

She stared at Zeng's mother, her eyes wounded. "I heard it with my own ears. You and Dad said those words with such regret."

"I..." Zeng's mother opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to start. "Shirui, things are not as you think."

"What do you mean?" Zeng Shirui choked up. "You and Dad just wanted a son. I'm a daughter, and I've brought shame to you!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Zeng's tone became agitated. "It's not what you think at all!"

"Look," Zeng Shirui said, laughing and crying at the same time, "you have no idea how to explain this, you don't care about me at all!"

"Shirui!" Zeng's mother screamed in anguish, "That's not how it is!"

Jiang Yuan didn't listen any longer and said softly to Chen Ziqi, "Ziqi, let's go."

"Okay." Chen Ziqi nodded.

Jiang Yuan returned home at midnight.

She asked Chen Ziqi to drive her car back to the police station.

Jiang Yuan entered the villa and found that Zeng Guilin was still awake, sitting cross-legged on the living room carpet knitting a sweater.

"Xiao Zeng, why are you still sitting here?"

"Yuan Yuan, you're back..." Zeng Guilin smiled and looked up when she heard her return, but her expression changed when she saw that Yuan Yuan was soaking wet. She asked anxiously, "Why are you all wet!"

She put down the knitting tools on her lap and hurriedly went to find a dry towel to wipe her down, saying, "You'll catch a cold like this."

"It should be fine." Jiang Yuan sneezed as soon as she finished speaking.

Zeng Guilin frowned deeply. "You've all sneezed! Go take a hot bath, and I'll make you some ginger soup and bring it up in a bit."

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and didn't stand on ceremony with her, "Okay, then thank you for your trouble."

"It's no trouble at all," Zeng Guilin quickly waved her hand. "Then you go upstairs to take a shower, and I'll go make some ginger soup."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded. "Just cook it and leave it there. Get some rest. I'll go downstairs to drink it myself."

Zeng Guilin watched her go upstairs before running to the kitchen.

Jiang Yuan came downstairs after taking a shower and saw her still in the kitchen. "Didn't I tell you to go and rest?"

"It's alright, it's alright," Zeng Guilin said. "I'm not sleepy. You drink the ginger soup, and I'll go rest after I finish washing the dishes."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's face showed a helpless expression. "Xiao Zeng, it's already past twelve o'clock. You got up early this morning, how could you not be sleepy?"

Zeng Guilin smiled shyly: "I'm fine, I don't need to sleep for too long, I'm used to it."

She handed him the ginger soup, saying, "Try it to see if it's hot."

“That’s perfect.” Jiang Yuan took two sips and then said, “This habit is bad. From now on, you need to get at least eight hours of sleep and be back in your room by ten o’clock.”

"I understand," Zeng Guilin replied with a smile, explaining, "I just thought I'd wait for you to come home before I went to sleep because you hadn't come home yet tonight."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

She finished the ginger soup and said earnestly, "If I don't come back tonight, won't you be unable to sleep all night?"

Zeng Guilin pursed her lips and remained silent.

Jiang Yuan said earnestly, "You don't need to wait for me to come back in the future. After you've finished tidying up, you can go and rest, or take a walk, go out for a stroll, or do something you like."

“Okay, I understand!” Zeng Guilin nodded.

Zeng Shirui eventually collapsed in the rainy night and was taken to the hospital.

After the examination, the doctor said that she fainted because she was under a lot of stress, hungry, and caught in the rain.

Zeng's mother and father stayed by the bedside, their expressions worried.

Si Heng said calmly, "Would anyone be willing to chat outside for a bit?" "I'll go," Mr. Zeng got up and followed him out.

The door to the ward was closed from the outside.

Si Heng turned to look at the other person, "In this situation, you must pay more attention to the child's mental state."

“Yes, officer.” Mr. Zeng nodded. “We will.”

“You think you don’t want to put too much pressure on your child, but in her eyes, it’s a sign that her parents don’t care about her.”

"Yes, this was our oversight."

“She jumped today. Our bureau’s specially hired criminal investigation consultant risked his life to save her.” Si Heng took out his phone, tapped a few times, and handed the screen to him. “See for yourself.”

This is a video recorded by Chen Ziqi. The scene in the video is very dangerous. Jiang Yuan is holding onto the railing with one hand and Zeng Shirui's ankle with the other.

Two frail figures swayed precariously in the wind and rain.

Mr. Zeng never expected that Zeng Shirui would dare to jump...

Si Heng said in a deep voice, "If Consultant Jiang hadn't been holding her tightly, she would have fallen to her death long ago."

Mr. Zeng's face turned deathly pale, his heart filled with lingering fear. He said in a trembling voice, "Thank you so much, Consultant Jiang..."

“Have a good talk with your daughter,” Si Heng said indifferently. “Once her condition improves, we still have some questions to ask her.”

That "Brother Shuo" is a dangerous person.

Si Heng felt that there would be another "Zeng Shirui".

**
Jiang Yuan never expected that she would catch a cold from a rain shower in the sweltering summer.

Fu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Shuyu came to visit her at home, bringing flowers and fruit.

Jiang Yuan found it amusing: "It's not like she has any serious illness, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Fu Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry. "You're not allowed to say such unlucky things."

“That’s right,” Zhou Shuyu agreed.

Fu Xiaoxiao said with a serious face: "Yuan Yuan, say it again."

Jiang Yuan said obediently, "Thank you for coming to see me. I'm so touched."

"You're welcome." Fu Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction, glancing at the scar on her arm. "I brought you scar removal cream. Be sure to apply it carefully. Such beautiful hands shouldn't have scars."

"Yes, sir." Jiang Yuan saluted.

Fu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Shuyu stayed for dinner, while Zeng Guilin and Deng Rui prepared a table full of dishes.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal and praised the two chefs for their excellent cooking skills.

Deng Rui listened with great pride, while Zeng Guilin was somewhat shy.

At 9:30 p.m., Fu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Shuyu got up to say goodbye.

Jiang Yuan escorted the two to the front gate, watched the car drive away, and as she turned to go back to her room, her cell phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

She took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Si Heng, is there a mission so late?"

"Yes." Si Heng's voice was grave. "How are you feeling?"

"That's fine," Jiang Yuan said. "Do you need me to come over now?"

"If you need it, I'll have someone come pick you up."

"No need to trouble yourself, I can drive myself."

"It's already on its way. I'll call you when it arrives."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan no longer refused, "Okay."

A dozen minutes later, Xiao Xu called, "Yuan Yuan, we're at the door, you can come out now."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan was sitting in the rocking chair in the courtyard when she received the call. She got up and walked out quickly.
