at this time,

A small convoy of four vehicles was speeding towards Beijing on the highway...

The first vehicle was a police car with sirens blaring and flashing lights leading the way, followed by an ambulance with flashing lights, then a luxury Maybach and a seven-seater minivan.

Inside the ambulance,

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke exchanged a glance.

Xia Keke nodded, opened her phone, and started recording a video.

Xiao Zhan then said, "Aunt Liang, could it be that Zhang Yingbao secretly added other medications?"

Liang Yanhong shook her head and said, "We don't have this medicine at home. Zhang Yingbao and I took Ai'ai back to Zhangjia Village. Zhang Yingbao didn't leave the village the whole time, so he didn't have time to buy the medicine."

Xiao Zhan continued, "Aunt Liang, you said before that Zhao Ruirui took the initiative to come to your rented house to find you. Please tell me about what happened then, the more detailed the better."

Liang Yanhong began to sob softly.

She then realized that she and Zhang Yingbao had been tricked by Zhao Ruirui.

For those two million, her husband Zhang Yingbao died, and the fate of her daughter Qin Huanhuan is unknown. Fortunately, after Zhang Aiai fell unconscious, she woke up and was examined by a doctor and found to be fine, only frightened.

Otherwise, it would truly be a case of family ruin and death.

Xiao Zhan paused for a moment and then said, "You need to know that Zhang Yingbao is now dead, and you are suspected of intentional homicide. Of course, it still depends on the final investigation results of the police. Huanhuan is in this state now, and who knows what will happen next? You can only help you if you tell me everything you know. If something happens to you, what will happen to Ai'ai?"

It can be said that Zhang Aiai was Liang Yanhong's only hope!

"Phew~~".

Liang Yanhong took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then silently organized her thoughts before saying, "At that time, Zhao Ruirui came to my place and told me and Zhang Yingbao that she was entrusted by Madam Xiao to come and find us."

Xiao Zhan was immediately astonished and said, "It's my mother?"

Liang Yanhong nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao Ruirui said that Madam Xiao had already contacted my Huanhuan and asked her to leave you. Huanhuan did not agree, so Madam Xiao sent Zhao Ruirui to find me and Zhang Yingbao and ask us to find a way to bring Huanhuan back to the countryside."

A few minutes later,

Liang Yanhong recounted her conversation with Zhao Ruirui and the two million yuan Zhao Ruirui gave them. She also described how Zhao Ruirui advised her and Zhang Yingbao on how to trick Qin Huanhuan into returning to the countryside, then drug her into falling into a coma. She even described how Zhao Ruirui instructed her and Zhang Yingbao on how to prevent Qin Huanhuan from contacting the outside world.

Not only were Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke stunned, but even the medical staff nearby were speechless with amazement.

Someone muttered under their breath, "The world is truly full of wonders. She even harmed her own daughter for two million. Now her husband is dead, and her daughter's fate is unknown. Her family has been ruined by two million. Was it worth it?"

"Don't say that. How many people can resist the temptation of two million? Besides, what this woman said is right. After all, the family backgrounds of the man and woman are too different. It's understandable that the man's mother doesn't agree. Who wouldn't want to be well-matched and live a lifetime together?"

"I think the man's mother did the right thing. The woman's family was in a very bad situation, and her younger sister was seriously ill. It was a bottomless pit. In addition, I heard that the adoptive father was a good-for-nothing who indulged in drinking, gambling, and whoring. He was stabbed to death by his own wife."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Liang Yanhong couldn't help but retort, "I didn't mean to stab him to death. Zhang Yingbao snatched the scissors from my hand, and I don't know how I ended up stabbing his neck."

"Waaaaah..."

Xia Keke comforted her, "Aunt Liang, don't be sad. The matter will be investigated and clarified. I just overheard the police at the scene saying a few words. The village doctor said the same thing as you: Zhang Yingbao attacked you first. Moreover, there is a surveillance camera at the entrance of the village clinic. The police have obtained the surveillance video and are investigating it."

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Zhao Ruirui said that the two million was compensation from my mother to you?"

Liang Yanhong wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, Zhao Ruirui initially only offered one million, but Zhang Yingbao thought it was too little. Zhao Ruirui said she would discuss it with Madam Xiao, and then she went to the stairwell to make a phone call. In the end, she agreed to give two million, one million each for Zhang Yingbao and me."

Xia Keke couldn't help but say, "You sold Huanhuan for two million? What will Huanhuan think when she wakes up and finds out all this? She'll probably be utterly disappointed in you, her adoptive mother."

Liang Yanhong choked up and said, "At the time, I thought that since Madam Xiao did not agree to Huanhuan being with Young Master Xiao, this matter would probably be difficult to handle. In addition, Zhao Ruirui threatened me, saying that if Huanhuan did not leave the capital and continued to be entangled with Young Master Xiao, Madam Xiao would make our whole family disappear. I was scared at the time."

Xiao Zhan knew that his mother was indeed capable of giving Qin Huanhuan money to leave him.

However, it's unlikely that the mother threatened Qin Huanhuan's family; it was probably Zhao Ruirui herself who said it.

Xiao Zhan asked, "Did you hear Zhao Ruirui making a phone call in the hallway?"

Liang Yanhong shook her head and said, "I didn't hear it."

Xia Keke cleverly asked, "You suspect that Zhao Ruirui didn't actually call Madam Xiao, and that she's setting a trap?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, then took out his phone and called Li Chaobing.

"Beep beep beep".

The phone was answered after just one ring.

Li Chaobing's hearty laughter came through the phone: "Young Master Xiao, I heard you're back. Let's get together tonight!"

Without time for formalities, Xiao Shao said directly, "Director Li, I've run into some trouble. A woman named Zhao Ruirui is suspected of a criminal offense. Please send someone to detain her first. I'll explain the details to you when I get back to Beijing."

Upon hearing that an arrest was imminent, Li Chaobing hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master Xiao, do you have detailed case information? You know, the higher-ups are now requiring strict adherence to legal procedures. It's difficult to apprehend someone without any information."

"Young Master Xiao, I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Director Li, thank you, but it's alright."

"Thud!"

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone immediately, then looked at Xia Keke. Xia Keke immediately understood, took out her phone and called Zhang Guoqiang, ordering, "Take men and take Zhao Ruirui under control right now."

Zhang Guoqiang responded on the other end of the phone, "It's the section chief."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Director Xia, where are you? I haven't seen you since I got back from the airport."

Xia Keke glanced at Qin Huanhuan lying on the stretcher and said, "Qin Huanhuan had an accident. Xiao Shao and I came to the countryside and are on our way back to Beijing now."

Zhang Guoqiang: "I see. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Xia Keke pouted and said, "You take some people to find Zhao Ruirui first and take her into custody. She's the key figure in this incident."

Zhang Guoqiang: "Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Keke said to Xiao Zhan, "Don't blame Li Chaobing for this. He's in a difficult position too. As the branch director, many people are watching his every move, just waiting for him to make a mistake so they can find something to hold against him."

Xiao Zhan forced a smile and said, "How could I blame him!"

He said that, but in his heart he had already removed Li Chaobing from his list of friends.

In fact, Li Chaobing regretted it as soon as he finished speaking on the phone.

Then Xiao Zhan hung up on him.

Li Chaobing knew that his relationship with Xiao Zhan and the Xiao family was now severed.

Li Chaobing shook his head helplessly, holding his phone, and muttered to himself with a bitter smile, "Sudden breakdowns in relationships often stem from subtle yet crucial details, but ultimately we're not on the same path. It's just a pity that I didn't make use of such good resources from the Xiao family, and I'm afraid I'll never have the chance again."

"Beep beep beep!"

Suddenly, the ambulance's equipment emitted a piercing alarm, and at the same time, Qin Huanhuan's body convulsed uncontrollably, and she kept vomiting white liquid.

Several medical staff members immediately changed their expressions and rushed forward to provide emergency treatment.

The doctor, with a grave expression, said to Xiao Zhan, "The patient's relapse in such a short time suggests that the combined medication he took is more serious than we initially thought."
