"Are the patient's family members here?" the doctor asked as he came out.

"It's me, I'm the patient's family member!" Jian Ailing immediately ran over. "Is he alright, doctor?"

"The patient was very lucky; the wound was only one layer of pericardium away from the heart. If it had been any more crooked, he might not have survived."

Jane's chest heaved as she gasped for breath. Hearing the doctor's reply, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Is he alright?"

"He still needs to be hospitalized for observation. Go and help him with the admission procedures."

"Thank you, doctor... thank you, doctor..." Jane Ailing repeatedly expressed her gratitude. "May I go in and see him?"

"Let's talk about it after we're moved to a regular ward."

"Oh... okay." She turned around wearily, only to see Kobayashi walking over with a policeman.

"You must be Miss Jane, right?" The man in the police uniform walked up to Jane Ailing.

"it's me."

"We need to understand the situation regarding what happened tonight. Please come and give a statement."

"Can I do it right here at the hospital?" Jian Ailing glanced at the ward. "Um... my husband just finished resuscitation, and I'd like to see him."

"No problem." The policeman nodded. "Then let's find a place."

The police informed the hospital and took Jane Ailing to a small office to take her statement.

She tried hard to recall what had just happened and told the police everything in detail.

"Understood." The police officer quickly took notes. "Is there anything else you need to add? For example, have you or your husband recently had any conflicts with anyone? Have you considered who might be capable of doing this to you?"

"I don't know much about my husband's work, but I have a feeling those people were targeting me." Recalling what had just happened, Jane frowned again. "I do have someone I suspect."

"Who is it?"

"Zeng Ying... my husband's sister. I don't have a very good relationship with her."

Thinking back on what just happened, there's something that really bothers Jane Ailing.

She hadn't even had a chance to tell Yu Lin and Jiang Yurong that Yu Yunting was so badly injured because of her. How could Zeng Ying just come in and immediately accuse her of killing her brother?

Moreover, Zeng Ying didn't even appear when she was talking to the two of them; they didn't even come together.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Zeng Ying be completely bewildered? Why would she immediately accuse her of causing the trouble?

Jane told the police directly about her suspicions.

"Yes, Miss Jane, we understand the situation."

"Okay, please let me know if there are any new developments."

After seeing the police off, Jane Ailing learned that Yu Yunting had been moved to a regular ward.

I don't know if Yu Lin had made arrangements with the hospital, but the hospital arranged a private room for Yu Yunting.

Jian Ailing strode into his ward and saw Yu Yunting lying quietly on the bed with his face pale and his eyes closed.

The cluster of monitoring instruments beside the hospital bed and the breathing mask he was wearing silently reminded Jane Ailing that he was not yet completely out of danger.

"You culprit, what are you doing back here!" Zeng Ying frowned with disgust as soon as she saw her.

If it were the same Jane Ailing as before, she might have felt guilty and taken all the blame that Zeng Ying had placed on her.

But after giving her statement to the police, her thinking became clearer, and she was able to pull herself out of the overwhelming guilt.

"Yes, he did take a knife for me, which is why he ended up like this. But weren't the real culprits those thugs and the people who hired him to kill me?" Jian Ailing's face was pale and haggard, but her eyes remained clear. She spoke slowly and deliberately, staring intently at Zeng Ying.

A fleeting look of panic crossed Zeng Ying's eyes, and she immediately looked away.

"Ailing, what did the police say just now?" Yulin asked.

He looked at this moment with his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.

Jane could sense that the father-son relationship wasn't particularly close. But Yu Yunting was being groomed as the successor to the Tianheng Group, so Yu Lin was probably more worried about the company's future.

Jane Ailing then turned her gaze to Jiang Yurong.

Her expression was also intriguing, calm and seemingly without much emotion.

She was so calm that it was impossible for a mother to believe her son was seriously injured; she was the kind of person a mother should be.

"I told the police everything. They said they would investigate and find the real culprit as soon as possible." Jane Ailing glanced at Zeng Ying without showing any emotion. "Anyway, one of the men who attacked us has already been caught. Finding the other one and the person behind them should only be a matter of time."

She noticed Zeng Ying's expression change slightly, and she quickly turned her face away.

"It's good that Yunting is alright." Jiang Yurong glanced at the person on the bed.

Jane Ailing had assumed that Jiang Yurong, after learning the truth, would blame her for the incident, just like Zeng Ying had. But Jiang Yurong didn't seem to have any intention of making things difficult for her.

I wonder if Jiang Yurong has heard about their divorce and the Lu family banquet. But since she doesn't intend to cause me any trouble now, it's naturally a good thing for her.

"Don't worry too much." Jiang Yurong turned to Yulin. "Didn't the doctor say that Yunting is not in any danger? There's no point in you watching over him here."

Jane Ailing quickly grasped the implication of her words, "Dad, Mom, you should go back first. I'll stay here with him. I'll let you know as soon as he wakes up."

"I want to stay here and wait for my brother to wake up!" Zeng Ying said with a resentful look, staring intently at the person on the hospital bed.

"Xiao Ying." Jiang Yurong frowned immediately, her tone becoming somewhat impatient. "Your sister-in-law is here, why don't you just let her stay here and take care of her? What are you meddling in for?"

"Yes." Jian Ailing looked at Zeng Ying with a half-smile, "After all, I am his wife, so it is more appropriate for me to take care of him."

Zeng Ying glanced at her, her eyes seemingly filled with anger, but she dared not speak out.

Ever since Jiang Yurong ruined Yu Hui's birthday party, she has harbored many grievances against her. It goes without saying that Yu Hui dislikes her, but even Jiang Yurong, who used to favor her, now shows her annoyance.

Zeng Ying had long been walking on thin ice in the Yu family.

But it was at this very moment that she learned of Yu Yunting and Jian Ailing's divorce.

She had thought this was a chance for her to escape her predicament. Perhaps her brother was the one who could save her from this predicament.

But unexpectedly... unexpectedly, it was Jian Ailing who filed for divorce, and it was her brother who desperately wanted to win her back.

How could he... how could he really fall for that despicable woman?

Zeng Ying was furious when she learned the truth.

Ever since he learned of her feelings in the wine cellar, Yu Yunting has been intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from her.

Even so, she still held onto a faint hope that Yu Yunting could forget Jian Ailing and see her, who had been silently watching over him all along.

There's plenty of time; she still has a chance.

Until the last banquet at the Lu family's residence, when Zeng Ying saw Yu Yunting protecting Jian Ailing so fiercely, when she saw his gaze constantly following her, and when she saw the way he looked at her, Zeng Ying knew that she had absolutely no chance.

She always believed that only by becoming a refined, beautiful, dignified, and elegant lady from a prestigious family could she be accepted and recognized by the Yu family.

But why, why did her brother still bring her here, even though she looked so disheveled and like Cinderella that day, and why did he still want everyone to know that she was Mrs. Yu?

It was only then that she realized that if you really like someone, you won't care about their clothes or whether they are dignified or not.

So-called ladylike manners and proper speech are nothing more than rules used by noble families to discipline others.

Only she truly believed it, believing that as long as she transformed herself, she would be worthy of him and catch his eye.

She truly hated all of this, and she hated that woman even more.

"Xiao Ying, what are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Yurong's words instantly brought Zeng Ying back to her senses. "It's so late, what are you still doing here?"
