Chapter 255: Two Thermometers

Yuan Xuan felt that it was probably wrong to continue hiding the truth from Mu Chenyan at this point. He lowered his voice and replied, “Zhao Yanni committed suicide last night. She’s already breathed her last breath. I’m going over to see but you can just wait at home for me to return.”

Mu Chenyan felt as though a lighting bolt had struck the top of her head.

She had just met that woman and spoken to her yesterday. How could she have left this earth just like that?

People who have had near death experiences in the past would still find it very difficult to accept the sudden passing of someone whom they knew well.

Mu Chenyan tugged on Yuan Xuan’s sleeve and quietly said, “Yuan Xuan, let me come with you!”

Yuan Xuan could tell that Mu Chenyan was feeling unusually sad.

Mu Chenyan kept thinking back to how Zhao Yanni’s final reaction was slightly abnormal when she had left the hospital yesterday. However, she had not noticed it then.

If only...

“Alright.”

The light in Yuan Xuan’s eyes dimmed. He did not say anything to stop her but wore his jacket instead before walking out to the front. Mu Chenyan’s state of mind was chaotic but she hastened her steps and followed behind him.

...

Hospital

It was certainly a serious issue because an intensive care patient in the VIP ward had died from swallowing two thermometers in the washroom.

Normally, a nurse would be present in every ward each night since this was the VIP ward. Zhao Yanni’s nurse was a thirty-year-old woman who was completely terrified as a result of what had happened. She sat in the supervisory control room in a daze while the police interrogated her.

“The incident happened at 5 in the morning. Miss Zhao said that she wanted to get up and relieve herself.

She’s usually a very light sleeper and today was no exception. Thus, she didn’t go back to sleep after she had woke up at 5 o’clock to relieve herself.

She began to change her clothes after she came back from the washroom.

I asked her why she had removed her hospital gown... She didn’t answer me but went to the sink to wash up instead. Miss Zhao had even put on some light makeup. I found this strange so I got up and frantically called the doctor over!

Miss Zhao stopped me and said that she had a headache and was probably having a fever as well. She asked me to get a thermometer from the nurses’ station. Once I brought it over to her, Miss Zhao took her body temperature on her own and suddenly said that her stomach was unwell. Then, she took the thermometer into the washroom...”

The woman’s entire body trembled as she spoke. The scene she described was truly terrifying.

When the nurse saw that Miss Zhao had not left the washroom after half an hour, she became frightened and yelled for the hospital’s security guards and other nurses to help her break open the lock...

Zhao Yanni spat out fresh blood when she was discovered. She was also in an abnormal amount of pain. The hospital hurriedly set about emergency treatment for her before they realized that she had swallowed two whole thermometers. One could tell then how determined she was to die.

The young nurse at the nurses’ station added, “Miss Zhao asked for a thermometer once when Miss Mu left during the day. We were very busy at that time so I told her to return it after she was done. However, that thermometer...”

Thus, after the change of shifts, no one at the nurses’ station knew that Zhao Yanni had hidden a thermometer from one of the private rooms in her hands...

The mercury poisoning and her abdominal puncture that was caused by the thermometer’s sharp glass made it impossible for even a miracle-working doctor to reverse the situation.

The hospital hurriedly informed her family members after the emergency treatment failed.

The Yuan Family had entrusted this woman to them. Hence, the hospital felt that they had truly wronged them.

On one hand, they knew that nothing good could possibly come out of offending the Yuan Family. The hospital received millions in financial aid from the Yuan Family every year. Thus, they felt that they had greatly offended their financial backer now.

On the other hand, Zhao Yanni had committed suicide and intentionally avoided the surveillance cameras by choosing the washroom as her place to carry out the act. Consequently, although it would be difficult, the hospital could still defend themselves by saying that it was an accident.

Fortunately, Zhao Yanni had left a suicide note. Strangely enough, she did not leave it for her own daughter because the words “To Mu Chenyan” were written on the crumpled paper.

The police had finished their interrogation of the nurses when Yuan Xuan appeared with Mu Chenyan.

The police officer who had arrived on the scene first respectfully spoke to Yuan Xuan while reporting the situation.

Now that she understood Zhao Yanni’s final preparations before she committed suicide, Mu Chenyan recalled that before she left, Zhao Yanni had turned to her and said, “It would have been really nice if Qinger frequently visited me...”

Zhao Ruoxin’s eyes were red and swollen when she returned from the morgue. They could tell that she had been crying nonstop.

Zhao Ruoxin became extremely emotional when she saw that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had arrived at the hospital.

Zhao Ruoxin was wearing high heels when she arrived as she had no time to consider whether they were suitable or not at that time. She was panting with rage as she quickly rushed over and screamed at Mu Chenyan, “What did you say to my mother when you came here yesterday? You b*tch!”

Mu Chenyan took a small step back while she stared blankly at Zhao Ruoxin.

The video surveillance footage from the nurses’ station showed that Mu Chenyan had spoken to Zhao Ruoxin for more than 20 minutes the day before. During this time, Zhao Yanni’s emotions had drastically changed.

Zhao Ruoxin’s heart was filled with anxiousness when she saw that video.

She did not know how much Zhao Yanni had told Mu Chenyan regarding the incident that she did not want her to know about...

“I never said anything! I’m truly sorry for your loss, I’m very troubled by this incident as well.”

Mu Chenyan spoke sincerely. If she knew that Zhao Yanni would have had these thoughts after they met yesterday, she would have stopped her no matter what.

“Are you still lying, you b*tch? Why would you be so kind as to come and visit her? If you didn’t say anything to her, why would my mother kill herself when she was perfectly fine before?”

Zhao Ruoxin lost control of her emotions as she spoke. She struck out her palm at Mu Chenyan without any concern at all as to what it might do to her image.

Mu Chenyan did not dodge it as she had already seen Zhao Ruoxin taking up her stance. She merely lowered her head in anticipation of the incoming blow.

She was not upset.

After all, this was Zhao Ruoxin’s mother. Thus, it was only natural for Zhao Ruoxin to hate her.

However, the pain Mu Chenyan anticipated never arrived.

When she raised her head, Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan was holding Zhao Ruoxin’s arm back. He said sternly, “Ruoxin, don’t get worked up. This matter has nothing to do with Chenyan!”

Yuan Xuan’s composed manner was extremely intimidating while his gaze seemed as though it could pierce through one’s eyes.

Although she had tried to hit Mu Chenyan in front of him, Yuan Xuan did not kick up a fuss only because she was a relative of the victim.

“Brother Xuan, you’re still defending her...” Zhao Ruoxin started crying.

“My mother left her a suicide note but did no such thing for me... You foxy woman, what spell have you cast on everyone. You’ve blinded every single person...”

Mu Chenyan only realized that Zhao Yanni had left a suicide note for her after she heard Zhao Ruoxin say this.

It seemed as though Zhao Yanni really trusted her because she had accompanied her during the final moments of her life.

Mu Chenyan’s heart momentarily spasmed.

Zhao Ruoxin’s heart was filled with anger when she saw Yuan Xuan defending Mu Chenyan. She sobbed before rushing towards Mu Chenyan. “Mu Chenyan, you’re a cursed vixen...”

Mu Chenyan stood rooted to the spot as though she had accepted her fate.

Yuan Xuan angrily gritted his teeth when he saw how resigned she looked.

He pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace while blocking Zhao Ruoxin with one hand. “Ruoxin, don’t get so emotional. Go get the suicide note so we can see what’s written on it.”

Zhao Ruoxin’s entire body briefly shivered when Yuan Xuan mentioned the suicide note.

The nurse who had discovered the suicide note had kept it and was waiting to hand it over to the police because this was considered as an important piece of evidence. Thus, they did not permit Zhao Ruoxin to see it although she was the deceased woman’s daughter.

Zhao Ruoxin seemed slightly unwilling when she heard Yuan Xuan instructing her to go and get the suicide note. Since the suicide note was addressed to Mu Chenyan, Zhao Ruoxin was worried that she could almost guess its contents.

“The suicide note... is with the police...” Zhao Ruoxin’s gaze became anxious and hesitant.

Yuan Xuan glanced at Mu Chenyan before he put his arm around her and led her to the surveillance room.

This space was being used as a temporary interrogation room. The case was less complicated because it was a confirmed suicide while the hospital had given Zhao Yanni emergency treatment at the first available moment. Thus, even if it was to be settled in the future, criminal cases like these would likely be concluded between the two families.

However, since the other party was the Yuan Family, a small form of compensation would definitely be included.
