Talking without acting is just putting on a show.
Tang Xiaomin said coldly, "Alright then, I will fulfill your kind intentions."
"Zhongli, beat him."
Without a word, Zhongli stepped forward, grabbed Tang Zhongcheng, and delivered three punches, each the size of a sandbag.
Before Tang Yu and the others could react, Tang Zhongcheng was beaten until he vomited blood and passed out on the spot.
...
The air was silent for a few seconds.
"Tang Xiaomin, you're crazy!"
Tang Xu cursed.
All of them glared at Tang Xiaomin with murderous intent.
At the same time, they hastily sent the unconscious Tang Zhongcheng to the emergency room.
In this way, Tang Zhongcheng finally got his wish and lay in the emergency room.
Zhongli had heard long ago that Tang Xiaomin's family were all oddballs.
But after truly witnessing it, even his heart, as cold as frost, was greatly angered.
"Queen..."
"Call me Miss Tang from now on."
"Miss Tang, if I may be so bold, it would be simpler to just kill them. Why be polite?"
"Death is liberation; living is torture."
Zhongli: ...
As expected, she was the most ruthless, not even allowing them a quick end.
Zhang Meiyu was admitted to the ICU. This time, it was more serious than before, reaching a point where her life depended entirely on machines.
Tang Zhongcheng only suffered severe internal injuries, thankfully not fatal. He just needed to rest.
Tang Zhongcheng sat in a wheelchair, looking at Zhang Meiyu lying in the ICU.
His face was devoid of any color.
If Zhang Meiyu died, he would be the one who caused it.
If Zhang Meiyu died, he would not be able to live with himself.
Tang Zhongcheng said dejectedly, "If she can't make it, I'll go down to accompany her."
Tang Xu and Tang Ye remained silent.
Tang Yu frowned.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Mom will be fine."
"I'm the one who harmed her this way. It's all my fault. It should be me lying in there."
Tang Zhongcheng's guilt over Zhang Meiyu was so profound that he couldn't even sleep well.
If Zhang Meiyu was in pain, wasn't he also in pain?
Especially when it was quiet at night, thinking about Zhang Meiyu's condition, he would blame himself to the point of losing control.
But he was helpless.
...
Heaven is unfair.
Some people, who have done no wrong, are still plagued by misfortune.
Tang Xiaomin personally monitored the hospital's surveillance footage, replaying it several times.
She actually found a clue.
A nurse from the psychiatry department, after some hesitation, went to Zhang Meiyu's room.
Because she was a nurse, the security guards guarding the room did not detect anything unusual, and she was allowed in.
And in the psychiatry department, Tang Yiyi was currently staying, accompanied by Aunt Xue.
It seemed they were up to their tricks again.
Unfortunately, there was insufficient evidence.
So much time had passed, it was likely all evidence had been destroyed.
When no one was around, Tang Xiaomin and Butler Wang went to Tang Zhongcheng's room and showed them the clues she had investigated.
"The surveillance shows a nurse from the psychiatry department visited Ms. Zhang's room. You can all see it."
They watched the video footage, not understanding its meaning.
"Tang Xiaomin, what are you trying to say? Are you suspecting Yiyi?" Tang Xu said quickly.
Tang Xiaomin shook her head.
"I don't mean anything. I just want to tell you the results of my investigation. What you think is up to you."
People are foolish.
They always doubt answers given by others.
They only believe their own.
This matter led to a dead end.
However, due to Zhang Meiyu's critical condition, everyone's heart was filled with suspicion to varying degrees.
Just as they were looking at each other, lost in thought,
Tang Yiyi and Aunt Xue arrived, each carrying fruit.
"Sir, Yiyi and I bought you some fruit..."
Aunt Xue caught sight of everyone in the room, and Tang Xiaomin's presence, and was startled. The fruit basket in her hand fell to the floor.
How could this be?
Why was Tang Xiaomin still alive and well and here?
Could it be that the person had failed?
Sensing her失态 (loss of composure), Aunt Xue quickly picked up the fruit basket from the floor.
Tang Yiyi maintained her meek appearance. Seeing Tang Zhongcheng in the wheelchair, her eyes turned slightly red.
"Dad... are you still in pain?"
She and her mother always gave the impression of being pitiful and having unspeakable grievances.
Tang Zhongcheng didn't have a good impression of Li Xue.
But she was Tang Yiyi's biological mother, so no matter how bad his impression was, it couldn't be helped.
Tang Xiaomin's temper was like Zhang Meiyu's. She either beat or scolded Tang Yiyi and Li Xue.
Tang Zhongcheng had witnessed her often bullying them.
He also felt sorry for Tang Yiyi, being innocently retaliated against by Zhang Meiyu.
But Tang Xiaomin had just discovered that a nurse from the psychiatry department had visited Zhang Meiyu's room.
Tang Zhongcheng couldn't help but think of Tang Yiyi and Li Xue, who were staying in the psychiatry department. Sudan Fiction Network
Tang Zhongcheng, with a cold face, questioned Li Xue.
"Where did you go last night?"
Aunt Xue's expression tightened slightly, then she said naturally, "Sir, with Yiyi like this, how dare I leave her? I've been by her side in the ward the whole time. What's wrong?"
Tang Zhongcheng then asked Tang Yiyi, "And you? Where did you go?"
Tang Yiyi meekly replied, "I was sleeping in the room. I didn't go anywhere."
Asking them like this wouldn't yield any results.
Tang Xiaomin said coldly, "Last night, a nurse from the psychiatry department went to Ms. Zhang's room and almost angered her to death."
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Xue with suspicion.
Because they had the most motive.
Li Xue was first shocked, then quickly defended herself.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Are you suspecting that I went to anger Zhang Meiyu?"
Zhang Meiyu had sent Li Xue to prison and Tang Yiyi to a mental institution.
They held a grudge against each other.
Li Xue had the strongest motive.
Seeing that everyone still suspected her, Li Xue said in a deep voice.
"I didn't do such a thing. You have no proof, and this is slander."
Tang Yiyi said with a wronged expression.
"Aunt Xue... she was with me in the ward all night. I... I can prove it."
"Dad, I can really prove it. You have to believe me... *sob sob*..."
As she spoke, Tang Yiyi started crying again.
...
With her crying, it seemed as if they were truly being framed.
Tang Xiaomin couldn't be bothered to watch their act.
She stood up and said to Butler Wang, "Butler Wang, call the police."
"Yes, Miss."
Tang Xiaomin left Tang Zhongcheng's room and returned to check on Zhang Meiyu.
She was on her last breath, her vital signs supported entirely by various advanced machines.
The doctor said she could die at any moment.
If the machines were removed, Zhang Meiyu would die immediately.
