Chapter 714: 446 Jiang Family’s Lucky Star? Nightmare for Trash【April Fool’s Day Message】

In the Hospital

When Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Shiyi arrived at the ward, there were only the elderly lady, the two seniors from the Shen Family, and Shen Shuci. Tang Wan was sitting by the bed, sipping chicken soup with her head lowered. Seeing him return, she revealed a hint of playful tenderness.

“I was about to starve to death waiting for your brown sugar porridge, if Uncle and Auntie hadn’t come by earlier and brought me chicken soup.”

Naturally, she was referring to Jiang Zhenhuan and his wife, Fan Mingyu.

Jiang Jinsang had gone to the Liang Family and then was delayed by police questioning for quite some time.

“Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma,” Jiang Jinsang greeted all three elders in turn.

“Alright, sit down.” The elderly lady invited him to sit. They were already informed of the rough situation, and they’d also heard the news of Tang Wan’s pregnancy.

With such a serious incident, the hospital couldn’t possibly conceal Tang Wan’s medical condition.

Jiang Yanting’s family of four had also returned to Beijing; with a large number of police present, it was inconvenient to bring the children and they worried about frightening them. They needed to settle the two children first, which was why they hadn’t come over immediately.

Jiang Zhenhuan and his wife stayed for a while and then left early. The presence of too many people would only increase the pressure on Tang Wan.

Tang Wan’s pregnancy should have been a joyous occasion for the Jiang Family, but now it was overshadowed by a cloud of gloom.

“Shiyi, where is that boy Chengsi?” The old lady deliberately changed the subject.

“Was he invited by the traffic police for some tea?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan was taken aback for a moment.

“What happened?”

Jiang Shiyi spoke calmly, “Street racing, speeding, running red lights, suspected of dangerous driving.”

“That reckless boy, he…” The elderly lady tightened her grip on her walking stick. Had Jiang Chengsi been present, he would likely be about to receive a thrashing. “You all left together, why didn’t you stop him? Street racing in the city is so dangerous.”

“He wouldn’t listen,” Jiang Shiyi said gravely.

“I knew it, this boy is bound to cause trouble whenever he goes out,” the old lady said, clearly annoyed. With the household already in disarray, he was only adding to the trouble.

“Please don’t blame him in the heat of the moment,” Old Madam Shen said, trying to assure the others.

Everyone was anxious for Tang Wan’s test results, but under the current circumstances, they could only try to distract themselves, trying not to let their worry show too outwardly, lest they make Tang Wan even more anxious.

“Are you done drinking?” Jiang Jinsang noticed Tang Wan had put down her spoon.

“I want to go to the restroom.”

Upon hearing this, everyone except Jiang Shiyi almost rushed to help, treating her as if she were an injured patient, which made Tang Wan laugh. “It’s fine for fifth brother to accompany me. I haven’t hurt anywhere; there’s no need to fuss over me like this.”

As Jiang Jinsang helped her off the bed, Tang Wan noticed the skin on his knuckles was broken and bleeding. She carefully held onto his forearm, “You…”

“Let’s go to the restroom first.” Jiang Jinsang had been keeping his hand in his sleeve all along, so no one had noticed.

However, Jiang Shiyi quietly got up and left the ward, intending to ask a nurse for some cotton swabs and disinfectant, as he had noticed the injury on Jiang Jinsang’s hand on their way back.

It was lunchtime, and there were only two nurses on duty at the nurse station, talking about the day’s events. However, the person at the center of their discussion was not Tang Wan or anyone from the Liang Family, but rather the person who had come for the poison testing today…

“This matter is too extensive, the police are giving it great importance. For the poison testing, besides the forensic scientists, they’ve even brought in experts from the city. They are professionals, after all, and we’re concerned there could be other poisons.”

The police can only proceed with the corresponding tests based on their theories of certain types of poisons or drugs. If there are other compounds involved, they may not be identified in time.

“They are, after all, professionals in forensic toxin testing, and their efficiency is high.”

“I heard they’ve helped the police crack quite a few cases. Otherwise, for such a major incident, they wouldn’t dare hand it over to them so rashly, especially since the team leader, the young lady, is just too cool.”

“She’s efficient and decisive, not to mention she’s so fair and clean. The male assistant who follows her is the most amusing. He seems older than her, yet he’s like a little puppy that follows her around…”

“Excuse me, sorry to interrupt.” Jiang Shiyi suddenly spoke up to interrupt their conversation.

“I’m sorry, is there something you need?” The nurse quickly stood up.

“I’d like to borrow some cotton swabs and disinfectant.”

“Just a moment.”

…

Meanwhile, inside the restroom of the ward, as soon as Tang Wan entered, she gestured for Jiang Jinsang to close the door quickly. She then turned on the faucet swiftly, and with the sound of the rushing water, she bent over the edge of the toilet bowl and began to retch.

The thought that she might have been infected with something was too much for her; she couldn’t stop worrying or drink any chicken soup. But since the family was so concerned and she was pregnant, she had to force herself to swallow a few sips.

Even though many people assured her she was unlikely to be infected, she could not rest easy until the test results came back.
