I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!
Chapter 57 Who is the Fool?
"Kid, what are you doing?" Jiang Xuxu shouted to stop him.
But as soon as the little boy pulled out the IV tube, he took a lollipop out of his pocket and put it in his mouth.
"Yay, I can get candy from Aunt Lin again!"
As he spoke, Chongjiang Xuxu made a face and then skipped away.
The whole process was smooth and quick, taking less than a minute.
As the air instantly entered her blood vessels, Jiang Xuxu felt a chill on the back of her hand before the pain spread throughout her body.
She quickly wiped the tubing off the IV line and sealed the infusion port with her hand to prevent more air from entering.
When she rolled out of bed, she accidentally fell, just as Gu Jingshen came back and saw the scene.
The cup fell to the ground in his hand. He quickly ran over to help Jiang Xuxu up and called a nurse to treat her wound.
"How could you be so silly? You dropped the needle and didn't even press the call button. Why were you fiddling around like that?"
Jiang Xuxu shook her head weakly, "No."
Gu Jingshen gently tapped her forehead. "Still trying to deny it? I saw it all."
Jiang Xuxu frowned helplessly, not intending to say anything more to him.
At this moment, she noticed a red mark on the back of Gu Jingshen's hand and quickly picked it up to examine it.
What happened to your hand?
It's a burn.
She looked at the water stains on the ground that had already been cleaned up, and abruptly threw his hand away.
"Serves you right!"
Gu Jingshen lowered his eyes and smiled, taking her hand in his again, and said in a coquettish tone, "Yes, I deserve it!"
Jiang Xuxu ignored him and stared at the doorway, her gaze gradually losing focus.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering why Aunt Lin didn't call a nurse when her oxygen tank suddenly fell off."
Jiang Xuxu blurted it out.
Gu Jingshen sighed, "It wasn't sudden, it was done on purpose."
Jiang Xuxu was shocked. "Someone is trying to harm Aunt Lin?"
"The specifics are still uncertain, but based on the hospital's surveillance footage, the most likely suspect is the little boy."
"A little boy?"
Jiang Xuxu hesitated, then said, "Just now..."
Seeing that she seemed preoccupied, Gu Jingshen asked, "What's wrong? Have you seen him?"
"Gu Jingshen," Jiang Xuxu called his name softly.
"I am here."
"Just now, a little boy pulled out my IV line."
Gu Jingshen jumped to his feet. "What did you say?"
"Don't panic. I don't know him, but as soon as he came in, he deliberately pulled out my IV line. I didn't even have time to stop him."
Gu Jingshen suddenly understood something. He patted Jiang Xuxu's arm and said, "Xuxu, don't wander around here. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Upon arriving at the monitoring room, he indeed saw the little boy entering Jiang Xuxu's ward.
Exactly the same person who entered Zhuo Manqing's ward!
He told Jiang Xuxu the truth about it.
"So, you suspect that someone is instigating the little boy..."
It wasn't just doubt; Gu Jingshen was almost certain that this was something a five-year-old boy couldn't have done independently.
Moreover, they targeted specific individuals/entities.
After several visits and investigations, the two finally learned that the little boy was the son of the woman who sold breakfast in the alley downstairs from the hospital.
He often came to the hospital to befriend patients and make them happy in exchange for snacks and gifts.
The doctors and nurses didn't take it seriously.
So, the next morning, Jiang Xuxu and Gu Jingshen waited early in the alley.
That woman sells steamed buns at a stall in this area. Her stall location is not fixed, and no one knows where she lives.
Her shop was the most popular, so they found it easily.
But when they found the little boy in the breakfast shop, they discovered that he wasn't a child at all.
Instead, they are adults who are sick and cannot grow up, and who have intellectual disabilities.
Who would incite a person with intellectual disabilities to harm patients in a hospital?
Or perhaps, he was just being mischievous or ignorant, which led him to unintentionally hurt others.
The trail ends here.
But Jiang Xuxu was unwilling to give up; she clearly heard the boy say it.
"Go ask Aunt Lin for candy."
So she took a colorful lollipop out of her pocket, squatted down, and said sweetly, "Zhuangzhuang, do you want some candy?"
The boy's name was Zhuangzhuang. He would get so excited when he saw candy that he would dance and jump around.
"Candy, have some candy!"
Jiang Xuxu patiently guided him: "Then, Zhuangzhuang, can you tell Auntie who gave you candy last time?"
Gu Jingshen, seeing her ask the question out of nowhere, assumed she was just teasing the child.
Instead, I was amazed by her childlike innocence, as if I saw her as a child in her.
At that time, she also used this gentle tone to encourage and comfort herself.
"Aunt Lin..."
Jiang Xuxu and Gu Jingshen were both stunned when Zhuangzhuang said this.
Gu Jingshen also crouched down, and Jiang Xuxu seized the opportunity to ask, "Does Zhuangzhuang still remember what Aunt Lin looks like?"
She had a suspicion in her mind, but it was never verified.
She always felt that Lin Tingran didn't seem to want Zhuo Manqing to wake up.
She didn't tell anyone about this, not even Gu Jingshen.
Sure enough, something happened on her first night on duty, and she also firmly opposed donating blood for Zhuo Manqing.
What daughter in the world wouldn't want to save her mother? As long as there's a glimmer of hope, even she would find it hard to be so resolute.
Adding to the fact that the boy mentioned Aunt Lin, she became even more certain that the person behind it all was Lin Tingran.
At this moment, Zhuangzhuang frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Long hair, big eyes, very pretty!"
It really was Lin Tingran!
Gu Jingshen instantly understood what was going on, and she asked Jiang Xuxu to confirm her suspicions.
"You suspect Tingran of...?"
"I know I shouldn't doubt her, but... she's acting so strangely."
In Gu Jingshen's view, Jiang Xuxu was also quite abnormal.
However, he noticed Lin Tingran's unusual behavior, but couldn't figure out why.
He handed the lollipop to Zhuangzhuang and then asked, "What did Aunt Lin say?"
Zhuangzhuang was overjoyed when he got the candy, and he peeled it open and stuffed it into his mouth.
He said, "Old...woman..."
Zhuangzhuang had a lollipop in his mouth and was speaking unclearly.
Jiang Xuxu took the candy from him and asked seriously, "Zhuangzhuang, be good, say it again."
Unexpectedly, Zhuangzhuang pouted slightly and stomped her foot: "Hmph, bad woman!"
"Did Aunt Lin say that too?" Jiang Xuxu pressed.
Zhuangzhuang snatched the lollipop from her hand and made a face at Jiang Xuxu.
"Aunt Lin told me not to tell, otherwise she wouldn't give me any candy."
Gu Jingshen glanced at the convenience store next door, then got up and walked away.
He returned quickly, took out a string of Alps cigarettes and handed them to Zhuangzhuang, coaxing him in a low voice, "Good Zhuangzhuang, come on, tell your uncle the truth."
Trying to get information out of a fool is inherently foolish.
But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Jiang Xuxu wanted to find out the whole story.
This concerns her background.
In the past few days, she has become increasingly convinced that there is an unbreakable bond between her and Zhuo Manqing.
At this moment, Zhuangzhuang put the Alpine bracelet around his neck and sighed deeply.
He really looked like a little adult.
He pointed at Jiang Xuxu's face and said, "Aunt Lin, why are you questioning what you said?"
Jiang Xuxu's pupils widened in shock as she looked at Gu Jingshen, whose eyes also widened in surprise.
