CHAPTER 603: CHAPTER 603: LIKE SCRAP PAPER

"That’s what I’m curious about too; a blood test is the most basic part of prenatal care—it’s impossible not to do it," Li Huan said with doubt.

At this moment, Gong Chen pulled out a crumpled blood test report.

"There’s one here."

Li Huan was stunned for a moment. "Why didn’t I see it during my check?"

Gong Chen pointed to the corner of the file folder. "It was pressed to the very bottom."

Li Huan hurriedly took the report and examined it carefully.

"This is the blood test before Mrs. Bai got pregnant. The anemia is quite severe. Logically, during pregnancy, it should be rechecked, yet there’s not a single report."

"Perhaps it’s not that Mrs. Bai didn’t have a blood test, but someone deliberately wanted to conceal something," Gong Chen said coldly.

"What’s there to hide about anemia?" Li Huan was puzzled.

Lin Zhiyi stared at the report, some words blurred by the creases, and there were several arrows on it.

If Li Huan couldn’t identify any anomalies, it means the other fluctuations were within normal ranges.

So why hide all the blood test reports?

Just what is different about Yang Jingwei?

In the living room, aside from Xingxing drawing, no one spoke.

Liao Yi used his hand to measure the thickness of the medical records.

"Pregnancy requires so many checks? It’s terrifying just thinking about it."

"If the pregnancy proceeds smoothly, this is considered few; if anything happens — poor diet, poor sleep..."

Lin Zhiyi was speaking when she abruptly stopped.

Gong Chen was the first to notice the anomaly. "What’s wrong?"

Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment and expressed her guess.

"Mrs. Bai gave birth prematurely; could there have been problems during her pregnancy?"

"When I had prenatal checkups in the past, there were always women around chatting about safeguarding pregnancies. Listening to their discussions made me anxious and frightened, instinctively paying more attention. They required injections and medications, and the doctors had to check their liver functions."

Hearing this, Gong Chen raised his eyes to stare at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi noticed his gaze and looked back at him.

Expecting him to say something, he remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Li Huan chimed in, "Indeed, the medication for protecting the fetus can burden the liver, and post childbirth, there should be corresponding tests—that means..."

Speaking, he started searching among the pile of test reports.

Then, he found two yellowed test reports and located an item from many test lines.

"How could this be? Mrs. Bai’s liver function is actually like that of a regular person, but her preoperative indicators show she has always been securing the fetus—the discrepancy is tremendous."

Li Huan pointed to the comparative values.

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t understand and asked, "Could any medication have been used?"

"She’s just given birth; any medication would consider the child, let alone her postnatal care indicating she’s breastfeeding."

Speaking, Li Huan immediately checked her medication records.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyi hit the mark.

"Indeed, she didn’t use any such medication; how could she recover so typically in such a short time? There must be some trickery. Alas, the medical records are incomplete—I need to thoroughly investigate."

Just as Li Huan finished speaking, his phone rang.

He glanced at the number, then looked at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen before answering.

"Li Huan, you haven’t sent out the files, have you?"

"No," Li Huan replied.

"While organizing just now, I found an updated record of Mrs. Bai on the computer, directly updated by the hospital’s director and the doctors from back then," the colleague said.

"Send me a picture of it."

The hospital recently did a system update, making deletion and updates inevitable.

But how long has Yang Jingwei not visited the hospital? Why does the medical record suddenly update after Li Huan takes the files?

Li Huan looked at the medical record sent by the colleague and drew a sharp breath.

He murmured, "Don’t look anymore; all these files are invalid; nothing is conclusive."

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened. "What’s going on?"

Li Huan handed the phone to her and Gong Chen.

Lin Zhiyi flipped through the contents; all the points of doubt they raised had been overturned by the updated records.

The missing blood test reports had miraculously appeared.

Even the liver function anomaly had accompanying explanations.

"The patient switched to formula feeding post-medication."

To sum up, everything was reasonable and lawful; the patient had no objections.

Thus, the files they held were lacking and inadequate, like scrap paper.

Lin Zhiyi had initially felt they were closer to the truth.

Now it seemed even more enigmatic.

Gong Chen, who remained silent, slowly stood up.

"It might not necessarily be a bad thing; at least it proves the direction we’re investigating is correct."

Lin Zhiyi nodded.

At this moment, Chen Jin approached with a grave expression.

"A call just came from the police station; Second Madam’s friend Wei Xiaoyun’s death had no suspicious points."

"Based on the scene survey, Wei Xiaoyun left her identification and all valuables and a suicide note, matching the traits of suicidal death."

"Wei Xiaoyun’s parents died early; she grew up as a beggar. After her death, some people were informed, but none came to claim the body."

"So only Second Madam and her friend could claim it. Based on the body’s marks, it was confirmed to be Wei Xiaoyun."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi furrowed her brows.

"So, Wei Xiaoyun really died; the orchid fragrance was merely coincidental."

Chen Jin remained silent, essentially confirming it.

A few seconds later, Gong Chen looked around at everyone.

"After all we’ve discussed, does anyone know what Wei Xiaoyun looks like?"

"..."

Lin Zhiyi froze.

Focused entirely on discussing Wei Xiaoyun’s death, she realized she hadn’t even seen a single photo of Wei Xiaoyun.

As she thought about it, several gazes simultaneously landed on her.

With raised eyes, she looked at everyone and understood what they meant from their eyes.

"You think my mom is lying?"

Li Huan’s voice carried hesitation. "Aren’t you curious? Your mom treasured the perfume Wei Xiaoyun gifted for over twenty years, yet she didn’t have a single photo of Wei Xiaoyun."

"She..."

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t answer because she’d seen photos of all the aunts in Liu He’s old album.

But she never heard the name Wei Xiaoyun.

Noticing her embarrassment, Gong Chen walked to her side and held her hand.

"It’s typical for photo to be lost given her mother’s forgetful nature over two decades. Our main aim now is to understand the relationship between Yang Jingwei and Wei Xiaoyun."

Lin Zhiyi looked up at him, feeling warmth in her heart.

Yet she didn’t want to affect the investigation due to herself.

"I’ll ask my mom and get a clear answer."

Li Huan nodded, with his brows furrowed more in distress. "The director must know I’m investigating Mrs. Bai’s medical records—they’re likely flawless in this area."

"Flawless domestically, but what about internationally?" Gong Chen asked unhurriedly, "When their focus is on guarding against us domestically, what’s the most convenient place to investigate?"

"..."

Internationally.

Lin Zhiyi and Li Huan exchanged a look, feeling like they’d been outsmarted again.

In unison due to their frustration, they said, "Third Young Master, you already knew the director would falsify the records, didn’t you?"
