Jian Yan held her forehead and pointed at the Second People’s Hospital outside the car window. She warned, “Shut up and drive there. I don’t like men with scars.”

Fu Li chuckled and immediately complied.

In the emergency room, Fu Li said to the doctor who was treating the wound, “Doctor, you must use the best suturing method. It doesn’t matter how much it costs. Don’t leave a scar. My wife won’t like it.”

Jian Yan leaned against the seat and rolled her eyes at him. She didn’t refute him.

After realizing that Fu Li was not the one who had arranged the attack and that he had sincerely stood up to save her, her impression of Fu Li improved tremendously.

This was the second time Fu Li had saved her, putting himself in danger for her safety.

Even if she could have handled all the men herself this time, the knife was visually terrifying and actually dangerous. As someone who had never been exposed to blood, Fu Li had sincerely proved his courage and love.

However, the most important thing now was to find out who the culprit was.

That person hated her hands and face the most… Was it Wang Meng?

She liked Fu Li. If she had called for this attack, she should have ordered the men to ruin her face.

What about the Lu family? That couldn’t be… It was impossible that the Lu family did not know Fu Li. Their methods could not be that crude. Even if they wanted to do something, they would probably choose to do it when she was alone.

Lin Zhi and Jian Wan? It was quite possible.

However, weren’t they afraid that the police would investigate the matter? They were really too stupid.

As for her business rivals in France… They did not have any resources or talents in China. This was not their base camp. Even if they wanted to do anything to her, they would probably do so in France.

Of course, there was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be someone who would dare to take the unconventional path.

Jian Yan pondered for a long while. Her head was hurting. She realized that she had many enemies. However, she was most suspicious of Lin Zhi and Jian Wan.

The reason was very simple. The two of them were not very smart in the first place. That was evident from the drugs, the cigarettes, and many other things in the past.

Ring!

Fu Li’s phone rang. It was a call from the police.

The doctor was suturing him meticulously with the thinest suture thread he had.

Since it was not convenient for him to answer the phone, Jian Yan picked it up and told the police about their experience and how they were now in the Second People’s Hospital.

“I see… We’ve already arrested the unconscious criminals. We’re also on our way to the Second People’s Hospital. They have to undergo blood transfusion and suturing, or they might die. But don’t worry. It won’t be a problem since you guys did this in self-defense. They were the ones who used knives first. Everyone only has one knife wound. Your actions will be considered legitimate self-defense,” said the police officer.

“By the way, do you remember how many attackers there were? The surveillance cameras in the parking lot were destroyed and can’t be used anymore.”

Jian Yan reported the number of people.

“Okay, thank you for your cooperation. We will find the culprit as soon as possible and find out who the mastermind is.” The police officer thanked Jian Yan.

At the Public Security Bureau.

After asking for the lawyer’s advice, Wang Meng made her way there reluctantly.

If she didn’t come, she would get more embarrassed and seem even more suspicious. She might as well prove her innocence earlier.

After hearing Lu Xue’s words, she screamed, “How could I be the most suspicious? This is slander. You can check all my social media information. I didn’t buy that medicine! The fingerprints on the bottle were an accident. I was helping Jian Wan find sunscreen!”

Officer Mo, who was in charge of recording, frowned when he heard the familiar name. He marked Jian Wan’s with a star. He then asked, “So you’re saying you touched that bag and that drug while helping someone else get sunscreen?”

“Yes, that’s right,” Wang Meng said firmly, feeling wronged.

The polygraph proved that she was not lying. At the very least, this bottle of medicine was definitely not something she had bought online.

Now, the question was whether he should investigate the second daughter of the Jian family, the fiancée of the second young master of the Fu Corporation, Jian Wan. He proposed this to the rest of the team.

“Why are you hesitating? Miss Lu and the eldest daughter of the Wang Corporation have already been investigated. Why shouldn’t we investigate our last suspect?”

“Yes, the Lu family and the Fu family are very supportive of investigating this case. We can just call them over.”

Officer Mo replied, “Yes, we need to continue investigating, but we need to consider a problem. It’s very likely that the bottle of forbidden medicine wasn’t purchased through the Internet, but bought offline or was given by someone else. In that case, they’ll all seem innocent even if we conduct an investigation on all three of them.”

“Don’t say such discouraging things, Officer Mo. The police station received a letter of complaint from an unknown IP address today. It’s a chat record, and it’s also related to contraband drugs. Do you want to take a look at it?”

“Alright, let me see… Lin Zhi!” Officer Mo exclaimed in shock. The clues in his mind instantly connected to one another.

“What is it?”

“Lu Xue mentioned Jian Wan being the most unlikely to be our culprit, but her mother’s name is Lin Zhi.”

“Wow, now that you mention it, I remember it too. Lin Zhi even made it onto the hot search today. She bullied a child and was suspected of abusing a child. She even sent legal letters to many media outlets reporting on this matter.. Many people tagged our account, asking us to arrest her!”
