After explaining things to his uncle, Chen Mo turned around and walked down the rooftop through the emergency exit, returning to the outside of the ICU ward.
Through the heavy glass window, inside the ward, the aunt was lying quietly on the bed. The ventilator at the head of the bed was running smoothly, and the waveforms of various indicators on the electrocardiogram monitor were gradually becoming normal and stable.
Several cardiology nurses, specially transferred by Dean Zhang, were recording various data with tense expressions.
Seeing this, Chen Mo felt completely relieved.
When Bian Xuezhang, who was guarding the door, saw Chen Mo come down, he immediately stood up straight, looking somewhat awkward.
Although the boy in front of him was several years younger than him, he helped him out of his predicament when he was in the most desperate moment.
"Auntie's condition is stable now. The doctor said she's passed the most dangerous stage, so you can relax." Chen Mo walked to Bian Xuezhang's side and patted his somewhat stiff shoulder.
"You don't need to worry about Wang Li's matter, with me and your uncle in charge. I'll make her vomit up double what she's ingested."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Bian Xuezhang took a deep breath, his eyes welling up with tears again, and nodded heavily: "Thank you, President Chen... I'll listen to you."
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded slightly, then looked at him, "After things are settled in the provincial capital and Auntie is completely settled, go directly to Guanlan Yujing in Jiangcheng County to find me. Don't keep me waiting too long."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Chen! I'll be there as soon as my mother is settled!" Bian Xuezhang gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.
Chen Mo did not linger at the hospital and left the inpatient building.
Chen Mo opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. With a deep roar from the V8 engine, the Hummer drove onto the highway back to Jiangcheng County.
The early winter scenery outside the car window rushed past, and Chen Mo casually put on his Bluetooth headset and dialed Lin Wan's number.
Bian Xuezhang's incident happened so suddenly that Chen Mo left in a hurry without having a chance to explain to Lin Wan early in the morning.
The phone rang only once before it was answered immediately, and Lin Wan's concerned voice came from the other end:
"Mr. Chen! You left in such a hurry this morning, did something serious happen? Where are you now? Do you need me to come and help you?"
Hearing the panic and concern in Lin Wan's voice, Chen Mo felt a warmth in his heart, and his voice softened slightly: "It's alright, don't worry. A friend of mine had a little trouble at home yesterday, but the situation is basically stable now."
Chen Mo leaned back in his seat, keeping an eye on the road ahead, and briefly explained the general situation of Bian Xuezhang's situation to Lin Wan over the phone.
After hearing Chen Mo's account, Lin Wan on the other end of the phone was so angry that she could hardly breathe. Her ample bosom heaved violently as she gritted her teeth and roared, "How could this woman named Wang Li be so vicious?! This is nothing short of extortion and attempted murder! Mr. Chen, how do you plan to punish her?"
"My uncle has already contacted a law firm in the provincial capital to file both criminal and civil lawsuits. He will submit a pre-litigation property preservation application first thing tomorrow morning to freeze all assets under her name."
Then Chen Mo gave the following instructions:
"However, we still need to keep an eye on the tens of thousands of yuan in savings that Wang Li absconded with. Lin Wan, contact President Sun Jian and ask him to use his connections within the bank to freeze Wang Li's bank cards first."
Although Sun Jian was only the branch manager of Huaguo Bank, Chen Mo was a client that even the head office had contacted and paid attention to. Therefore, it was not difficult for Chen Mo to request the freezing of assets in advance before the lawsuit.
Lin Wan deftly jotted it down in the memo and solemnly replied:
"Understood, Mr. Chen! I'll get on it right away!"
................
In the heart of Long Lake, inside an elegant, expensive French restaurant.
Wang Li, wearing heavy makeup, was leaning back on a comfortable sofa, slowly swirling a glass of red wine in her hand, her newly bought gold bracelet gleaming under the light.
The table was set with an exquisite French feast, including black truffles, expensive steaks, and high-end caviar; a meal like this could easily cost several thousand dollars.
Sitting across from her, her best friend Zhou Ting, while cutting her steak, glanced enviously at the stack of high-end cosmetics peeking out of Wang Li's bag. She couldn't help but gossip, "Lili, why are you suddenly so extravagant lately? By the way, what about your fiancé, Bian Xuezhang? Didn't you say you were going to try on wedding dresses a couple of days ago? I haven't heard you mention him at all these past few days!"
Upon hearing the name "Bian Xuezhang," Wang Li's smug face instantly fell, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes as she coldly snorted:
"Don't mention that good-for-nothing, penniless wretch to me! Just thinking about him makes me want to vomit!"
Zhou Ting was taken aback: "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
"Arguing? That coward actually dared to hit me!" Wang Li raised her voice. "Isn't it just because he thinks my custom-made wedding dress, which costs tens of thousands of yuan, is too expensive? His mother was even standing there trying to persuade me, and I just said a few words back. And then that good-for-nothing Bian Xuezhang actually slapped me! I immediately called the police for intentional assault and had them send him to the detention center!"
Zhou Ting gasped, then asked hesitantly, "Huh? Such a thing happens? He dared to hit you before we were married, what will happen after we get married...?"
Wang Li spat viciously, gritting her teeth, "That's right, that damn Bian Xuezhang! I used to think he was pretty honest, but I never expected him to dare to lay a hand on me. I transferred all the tens of thousands of yuan he had saved up for his wedding and house purchase into my name as compensation for his emotional distress! Don't ever mention him again!"
Zhou Ting chimed in, "That's right, Lili, you did the right thing! These people all seem honest on the surface, but who knows what they're really like behind the scenes! They deserve this money!"
"That's right, I, Wang Li, am not someone to be trifled with!" Wang Li proudly raised her chin.
After finishing her meal, Wang Li gracefully waved her hand and said, "Waiter, the bill, please!"
The waiter quickly approached and politely handed over the bill: "Hello ma'am, the total bill is three thousand eight hundred yuan."
"Swipe the card." Wang Li generously pulled out a bank card from the Bank of China from her bag and handed it over. This card contained the hard-earned money she had taken from Bian Xuezhang for her wedding and house purchase.
However, a minute later, the clerk returned with a troubled expression, handing the card back to her with both hands: "I'm sorry, ma'am, your card cannot be swiped. The POS machine shows a transaction restriction."
Wang Li frowned and impatiently shouted, "How is that possible? There's over 100,000 in there! Is your machine broken? Try it again!"
The waiter had to try again, but the transaction still failed.
"This is useless, let's switch to this one!" Wang Li pulled out her original bank card again.
However, Sun Jian had already used her connections to lock all the accounts under her name.
I tried three different bank cards in a row, and without exception, the POS machine displayed the message "Account has been frozen"!
At that moment, many diners in the restaurant turned their gazes toward this location, their expressions strange.
Wang Li's face flushed instantly, and she screamed, "Is your restaurant deliberately causing trouble?! I clearly have money in my card, how could it all be frozen?!"
Just as she was throwing a tantrum in the lobby, her cell phone suddenly rang loudly in her bag.
The caller ID showed her mother.
Wang Li answered the phone irritably: "Mom! What's wrong? I'm eating, and my card is malfunctioning..."
Before she could finish speaking, her mother's wailing came from the other end of the phone:
"Lili! What terrible thing have you done in the provincial capital?! Court officials and several police officers just stormed into our house!!"
"They say you're suspected of illegally appropriating a huge amount of other people's property, making false accusations, and indirect intentional injury! Now, not only have all your bank accounts been locked, but even our family's only house in our hometown has been sealed and frozen by the court on the spot!!"
Boom!!
It was like a bolt from the blue that exploded in my mind.
Wang Li froze on the spot, and her phone fell to the ground with a "thud".
Her face turned deathly pale, her legs went weak, and she collapsed into the chair, a look of terror finally appearing in her eyes.
What exactly happened?!
Was it done by that honest, hardworking, poor guy, Bian Xuezhang?
Impossible! If he had that kind of ability, would I still be able to keep him under my control?!
Suddenly, Wang Li seemed to remember something, but before she could react, two police officers entered the restaurant and took Wang Li, who had collapsed to the ground, away.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ting on the other side was already terrified. What's worse, Wang Li left, leaving her to pay this exorbitant bill!
I just wanted to freeload a meal at a fancy restaurant, but I ended up getting myself into trouble.
(Please give me a good review and some encouragement to update! I promise the later chapters will be even more exciting!)
