Chapter 123 Is He With You?
"hiss!"
Shen Xingyuan's eyes widened suddenly after I gave him a needle prick.
I retorted angrily, "Uncle, take a good look at who I am! Look where you are!"
He looked at me, a flicker of disbelief in his eyes: "It's an illusion."
Hallucination?
I laughed angrily: "It's not a hallucination, I am your grandpa."
He looked at me coldly.
I inserted a few more needles, deliberately using force.
He was in a lot of pain, but he endured it.
This is the first time I've ever seen such a tenacious "patient".
"Who exactly are you?!" he demanded.
"Oh, you've finally woken up and realized I wasn't hallucinating." I raised an eyebrow: "Your good buddy Mo Yiyan dumped you here."
Shen Xingyuan gritted his teeth: "Call him here!"
"I can call him over, but I can't return the money to you." I shrugged: "Money that's in my pocket isn't going to be taken back."
"I don't care!" Shen Xingyuan said coldly, "Call him here!"
"Wait here!" I turned and went out.
What a hassle.
Shen Xingyuan lay on the bed, unable to move, his whole body aching and sore.
That little girl probably isn't her.
How come she's middle-aged now?
But this little girl is no good person.
With a squeak.
The door opens.
A woman with an extraordinary temperament came before him.
Shen Xingyuan was taken aback.
"So you're the one who bullied my daughter?" Han Li said angrily, "My daughter is treating your illness, and you still insult her? Are you even human?!"
"It's you?" Shen Xingyuan couldn't believe his eyes.
Han Li saw a bowl of medicine next to her and assumed it was prepared for her, so she pouted.
She rolled her eyes, picked up the bowl, pried open Shen Xingyuan's mouth, and poured the medicine down his throat.
That way she won't have to drink it.
"Mom!" I walked in and was startled to see my mother giving Shen Xingyuan medicine.
Bang!
My mother was so frightened that she dropped the bowl on the ground: "I didn't mean to, this man scared me."
Shen Xingyuan: "..."
"Mom, it's okay, don't be afraid." I went over to comfort her, "Why did you run out?"
“I heard him cursing at you, so I wanted to teach him a lesson for you,” my mother explained.
I smiled helplessly: "Mom, you don't need to worry about me, he can't move right now."
"So that's why he was lying there. Turns out he's a salted fish that can't get up now." My mom's management skills may have deteriorated, but her sharp tongue hasn't changed.
Sister Lan came in, looking apologetic: "Professor Shen, I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
“You’ve been taking care of my mom all night, you must be tired.” I said, “From now on you and Auntie will take turns. Now take my mom out.”
"Okay." Sister Lan took my mother away.
I looked at Shen Xingyuan's dark lips and took out a tissue to wipe them for him: "My mother suffered a head injury and was frightened recently, which is why she looks like this. Don't hold it against her."
"She's your mother?" Shen Xingyuan asked in surprise.
“Yes,” I said. “Mo Yiyan is on his way.”
Shen Xingyuan remained silent.
If you don't want to talk, then forget it.
"Let him go back," Shen Xingyuan said coldly. "I'll stay here to treat my illness."
Mo Yiyan, who had just entered the door: "..."
"Mr. Mo, you two talk." I went out.
Mo Yiyan walked over: "It seems you've seen that woman."
"You did this on purpose." Shen Xingyuan frowned.
“All your misfortunes are because of this woman. Once you’re better, confront her about what happened back then, and your grievances will be cleared,” Mo Yiyan explained.
"She's Shen Yuan's wife. Do you think she'll help me?" Shen Xingyuan said coldly.
"Then it depends on your ability." Mo Yiyan smiled and said, "It's all up to you. In any case, you should focus on getting better first."
Shen Xingyuan's face was grim.
Mo Yiyan smiled and said, "I'm leaving."
Shen Xingyuan didn't say anything.
I was in the kitchen watching the medicine being decocted.
Mo Yiyan walked in: "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"It's okay," I said.
“I’ve found some clues,” Mo Yi said. “That night, a group of people did leave Ge City in the heavy snow. They drove several cars, and the windows were covered with curtains, obviously not wanting anyone to see inside. Later, these cars were separated. As for which car has the person you are looking for, we’ll have to wait and see.”
"I wonder what Mr. Mo's profession is, but he found the clues so quickly." I was surprised.
“I’m old enough to be your father, you can call me Uncle Mo,” Mo Yiyan said, trying to get closer to him.
I smiled speechlessly: "Are you trying to get close to me?"
"I guess so," Mo Yiyan explained. "I've entrusted my good friend to you, so of course I have to be polite to you."
I nodded: "Don't worry, he's with me, I'll definitely take good care of him."
"Thank you for your hard work." Mo Yiyan turned and left.
He did not answer my question.
Let's forget about it then, we'll ask again next time.

When I got to the lab, I kept yawning.
I didn't sleep well all night, I'm so tired.
Dai Chen'an walked in. "What's wrong with you?"
I waved my hand: "It's nothing. Did you need something from me?"
"Yes, the special funds have all arrived. Let's go over the accounts," he said.
“Actually, it doesn’t have to be so complicated.” I took a sip of coffee. “I trust you.”
Dai Chen'an smiled faintly: "Thank you for your trust. By the way, I just saw them discussing whether it's true that Huo Yubai kidnapped Mo Yue."
I frowned.
I had already guessed how things would unfold, and Huo Yubai must have thought of it too.
Why wasn't he on guard?
“How could that be?” I said, “Huo Yubai was with me that night, he couldn’t have kidnapped Mo Yue.”
"He's with you?" Dai Chen'an looked at me with a cryptic expression. "You two..."
"Don't misunderstand, he was sick that night and was being harassed by Mo Yue while staying in his original room, so he came to my room," I replied.
Dai Chen'an nodded.
“However, the surveillance footage that night was deliberately sabotaged.” I worried, “Then Mo Yue disappeared. I’m worried that this is a trap set by the Mo family. I thought Huo Yubai had already resolved the matter after he came back a few days ago, but I didn’t expect that he didn’t care at all. The Mo family must have threatened her. When they saw that he ignored it, they released the news to try to force him.”
"Are you worried that he won't be able to handle it?" Dai Chen'an asked.
"Okay." I stood up. "I'm going out for a bit."
Dai Chen'an looked at me: "If you want to help him clear his name, you'll inevitably get yourself involved. Even if I believe you, people won't think that way about what happened that night. Maybe..."
"I know what you're trying to say. Don't worry, I have a plan." I picked up my bag and walked out of the office.
Dai Chen'an looked worried.
Jiang Miao raised an eyebrow: "Team Leader Dai, you're not good enough. Try harder!"
"Check your data carefully, and don't make any more mistakes." Dai Chen'an turned and walked towards his office.
Qi Zhao complained: "Why are you making a fuss? Feelings can't be forced. If you don't like someone, you just don't like them. No matter how good you are to someone, it won't help. If you really had feelings for someone, Team Leader Dai wouldn't have had to wait five years."
