Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the hospital, Li Nanchen and Wu Mei rushed to the ward and looked at Old Master Li who was in the midst of emergency treatment. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Lin Liguo and the uncles from the collateral branches of the Li family also rushed over when they heard the news. They stood in the corridor and when they saw Wu Mei, there was not a hint of sadness on their faces.

“How’s Grandpa’s condition?” Li Nanchen grabbed Director Xu and asked.

Director Xu shook his head and said, “I just got the news. I’m not too sure about the specific vital signs and stats.”

Wu Mei looked at Old Master Li’s complexion through the glass.

He was breathing weakly, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. He looked like he was in a critical condition, but Wu Mei knew it was just an unavoidable process with acupuncture.

“Don’t worry. Grandpa might seem like he’s in a critical condition, but he’ll definitely pull through. He’ll be fine,” Wu Mei comforted Li Nanchen and patted his shoulder gently.

Upon hearing this, the Li family’s relatives all sneered and pointed fingers at Wu Mei.

“You just want to stall for time. You want Nanchen to reject Dr Lin’s treatment so that you can waste time and let Old Master Lin die, right?” 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

“You’re too vicious! This is murder!”

“When the Old Master dies, you will be able to completely control Li Nanchen and get a portion of the Li family’s assets, right?”

Their discussion gradually escalated. Li Nanchen’s eyes were bloodshot as he turned back to look at them and roared, “Shut up!”

Li Nanchen was furious, but this was the first time Wu Mei had seen him like this. It was clear how important Grandpa was to him.

“President Li, don’t blame me for being nosy!”

Lin Liguo looked at Wu Mei provocatively and took two steps forward with a strange smile playing on his lips as he said, “Although you believed her and said that I was the one who wanted to harm the Old Master and chased me away, I was still indignant and wanted to find the real murderer to clear my name.”

“Take a look, I really obtained the evidence!”

Lin Liguo passed the phone to Li Nanchen. A video of Wu Mei sneaking into the ward was playing on the screen.

“Do you understand now?”

“Wu Mei was the one who wanted to harm the Old Master! She was the one who lied to you. The truth is right here. What do you have to explain for yourself?”

Lin Liguo raised his eyebrows. Li Nanchen immediately recognized that the figure in the video was Wu Mei. Agony flashed across his eyes as he looked at her in disbelief.

Wu Mei’s eyebrows knitted together. Since she had been found out, there was nothing to deny.

“It was indeed me. I did secretly perform acupuncture on the Old Master, but that was to treat his illness, not…”

Before she could finish speaking, the Li family’s relatives exploded and pointed at her while cursing.

“Are you treating people? You’re killing them!”

“This is murder!”

They lowered their heads and secretly called the police.

Li Nanchen no longer looked at Wu Mei. Turning to look at his grandfather, who was lying in the ward, he clenched his fists.

Seeing this, Lin Liguo shouted loudly, “President Li, you still have a chance now. As long as you agree to divorce Wu Mei, I can help treat the Old Master again. Right now, only I can keep his condition under control!”

Wu Mei glared at Lin Liguo coldly, itching to rip out his tongue.

Taking a deep breath, Li Nanchen turned to look at Lin Liguo and said, “Grandpa’s illness is not something you can threaten me with!”

Lin Liguo could not believe it.?Is he still protecting Wu Mei right now?

Buzz…

Amidst the dead silence, Li Nanchen’s phone suddenly vibrated. He lowered his head and saw that the message was from Bi Fang.

“What disciple? I’ve never seen this woman before. Don’t be fooled!”

This message was like a rock that formed huge waves in Li Nanchen’s heart.

Wu Mei is lying? Why?! From which sentence onwards was a lie?

Li Nanchen stared at her in agony.

Wu Mei pursed her lips. Her original intention of secretly performing the acupuncture was so that he would not worry, but she did not expect to hurt him instead.

At the ground floor of the hospital building, the sound of police cars could be heard. The uncles from the collateral branches of the Li family all looked at Wu Mei maliciously. They wanted to see how long she could remain arrogant.

“The evidence of the attempted murder is right here. You will definitely go to jail. You can’t escape!”

“Catch her! Don’t let her escape!”

Hearing this, Li Nanchen looked down at the police officers who had already boarded the elevator.

At the same time, the equipment attached to Old Master Li in the ward, emitted a beeping sound to alert them of danger.

“You should go.”

Li Nanchen’s gaze calmed down. He pulled a clamoring relative away and did not let him touch Wu Mei. He repeated, “Leave right now.. Let’s get a divorce.”
