“What happened? How did she end up like this?”
Ling Zhenhua turned to ask the woman sitting beside the bed whose eyes were bloodshot from worry and lack of sleep. He was very calm and just stood by the hospital bed, wiping away his tears.
This woman was his ex-wife, the mother of the child in the hospital bed.
“She was beaten up.”
As soon as the woman spoke, she burst into tears.
“What?”
When Ling Zhenhua heard this, his eyes instantly turned blood red. In a low voice, he said, “What exactly is going on? Tell me everything!”

“When she was studying in primary school, a girl bullied her, making fun of her tattered clothes. You know, our little girl has the same temperament as you. She would not bear it silently when being bullied, so she fought back. As a result, the girl cried and called her mother over. She slapped our daughter violently; how could a thin girl like her withstand such a vicious blow from an adult?”
Speaking of this, Ling Zhenhua’s ex-wife sobbed grievously. No one could understand the pain in her heart.
If her daughter had a complete family, and if she had a reliable husband, things would not have turned out like this, right?
“I’m sorry…”
Ling Zhenhua knew this as well. No matter how angry he was, he still lowered his head and apologized to his ex-wife.
“What’s the use of saying sorry?”
His ex-wife wiped away her tears and said, “When the woman knocked your daughter against the wall after dealing her a hard slap, where were you? When she lapsed into a coma, and I couldn’t wake her up, where were you?”
“Where were you during the numerous occasions when she needed a father?”
“She slammed her head against the wall?”
When Ling Zhenhua heard this, his face instantly turned ugly, and a cold, murderous aura emanated from him.
At He Gaoming’s request, his brothers stayed outside the ward and didn’t go into the ward so as not to disturb them. As soon as they heard the whole story, they were outraged!
The woman was an adult and also a mother. How could she attack a little girl so violently?
It was too much!
“I should go in and take a look.”
Seeing that there was something wrong with Ling Zhenhua in the ward, He Gaoming hurriedly said and immediately walked in. At the moment when he felt the intense killing intent emanating from Ling Zhenhua, he immediately went up, grabbed his shoulder, and said, “Keep your Qi power under control!”
After all, he was in the hospital.
He Gaoming couldn’t shout out loudly, so he could only garner some strength into his palms and rouse Ling Zhenhua from his current furious state.
Ling Zhenhua trembled all over, and he hurriedly controlled his Qi power.
“Where is the woman who hurt your daughter?”
Seeing that Ling Zhenhua had regained his senses, He Gaoming asked.
“It won’t help.”
Ling Zhenhua’s ex-wife wiped away her tears and said, “They don’t care. I’ve tried many times to reason things out with them, but they didn’t turn up, let alone offer to pay the hospital bill. They are rich and powerful. We can’t afford to offend them!”
“Where do they live?” Ling Zhenhua asked coldly.
“I don’t know.”
His ex-wife shook her head and said, “I only know their phone numbers, all of which are now invalid. I can’t get through at all!”
“Don’t worry.”
He Gaoming patted Ling Zhenhua on the shoulder. Then he took out the money from his bag, put it on the hospital bed, and said, “Sister-in-law, take the money and pay the medical bills. Hang in there as long as possible and take good care of your girl. Leave the rest to us.”
Ling Zhenhua also hurriedly took out his money as well.
They had just received a cash gift of 500,000 yuan.
Each of them got more than 10,000 yuan, so the two of them had more than 20,000 yuan.
“Crack.”
The door was pushed open.
Li Boqing came in from the outside, took out his money, and put it on the hospital bed. It was also more than 10,000 yuan.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. This matter will be resolved.”
After comforting her, Li Boqing turned around and went out.
Then another man came in and took out his money to comfort her.
Without any prompting, they lined up and came in one by one.
One after another, more than 30 men took out their money.
Sure enough, all of them gave her all the money they had just received.
“Sister-in-law, we’re very concerned about your little girl. Please pay for her medical expenses first,” He Gaoming said.
Ling Zhenhua’s ex-wife burst into loud sobs.
She hadn’t expected Ling Zhenhua to have so many good friends. But even though she got the money to pay for the medical bills, she still hated Ling Zhenhua in her heart!
As He Gaoming finished talking, he patted Ling Zhenhua on the shoulder and walked out of the observation room.
The others followed him to the gate of the hospital.
“Damn it, how could they treat a child like this? They are beasts!”
“How could a mother bear to hit a little girl so hard? How could she live with that on her conscience?”
“Shameless. How could she hide and shirk her responsibility after beating up a child?”
“She’d better hope I never see her, or I’ll make her kneel down and apologize to my brother Zhenhua!”
“Bullying my brother? I won’t let her go!”
“Find out who it is. Let me punish such a heartless person!”
Everyone was extremely angry and indignant.
“Well, things have already happened. Don’t get mad. The most important thing now is to save his daughter.”
He Gaoming tried to persuade them into doing something practical and said, “I’ll go and check out their background. I’m a professional in this field. I should be able to find the information soon.”
After that, He Gaoming immediately set off to carry out his task.
However, his previous business did not cover this small county, and none of the detectives working for him lived nearby. Therefore, he could only investigate it in person.
He Gaoming left the hospital.
He went straight to a local kindergarten.
The news about this serious incident had spread around this small county, so He Gaoming asked around, and soon a local told him the name of the school where Zhenhua’s daughter studied. After arriving at the school, He Gaoming went straight to look for the headmaster of the school and the head teacher of Ling Zhenhua’s daughter. He wanted to get some information about the family.
However, he did not receive any useful information.
The family only put their daughter in this primary school for a few days. After the incident, they took their daughter away and now even the school couldn’t get in touch with any of them.
“The child and her parents, can you tell me their names?”
He Gaoming asked the head teacher.
“We don’t know the child’s full name. We only know that she was called Li Xue. Her mother’s name seems to be Zhang Yiran.”
“How old is she? What does she look like? Where is she from?”
…
He had collected enough information.
As soon as he left the primary school, He Gaoming took his seat before a computer in a cybercafe nearby and began searching for information about Zhang Yiran on the Internet, using his skills as a hacker.
He Gaoming was able to become a detective because he was a hacker, a skilled one. It was a piece of cake for him to get the woman’s information with her full name.
He Gaoming didn’t cause any system to crash.
He found a loophole and went into the official name list of the northeast province to search.
He Gaoming found more than a thousand people named Zhang Yiran in this province. The headmaster and the head teacher had told him that the woman who hit Ling Zhenhua’s daughter had a pure northeastern accent. In other words, she was a local, so he searched for her from the name list of the northeast province.
He didn’t continue his search by using the address.
Instead, he deduced from the obtained information that the woman was about 30 years old.
After this screening, 90% of the thousands of people were immediately excluded from the list, leaving less than 100 people.
Now, He Gaoming only needed to check the detailed information for the 100 people or so.
He clicked on each name and began to scan through these 100 people according to the information he got about the woman’s appearance.
“I found it!” He Gaoming called out excitedly half an hour later.
He finally confirmed that the woman named Zhang Yiran was the chairman of a well-known local real estate company. It was just that the real estate company was in the provincial capital city. Nevertheless, the woman had always lived in her hometown in the county. She would only go to the city when she had something important to do.
Going by the information he found, she sent her daughter to study in the primary school in her hometown because Zhang Yiran did not want her to be too pampered by the lifestyle in the big city.
To her surprise, something bad happened not long after her daughter entered the school.
“No wonder she’s so arrogant!”
Having found enough information, He Gaoming suddenly sneered and left the cybercafe.
“How is it?”
Back at the hospital gate, all the others came forward to ask.
“I found her.”
He Gaoming said, “She lives in this county. Brother Li, you stay here with a few brothers. If something happens in the hospital, you are available to help. The others will come with me, but remember not to do anything reckless. Let’s see what she will do first.”
The others nodded, one after another.
They all agreed with He Gaoming’s arrangement.
Li Boqing and He Gaoming were the strongest among them, so it was good to let Li Boqing stand guard here in preparation for the unexpected.
After He Gaoming made the arrangements, he led the others to the outskirts of the county. They stopped before the gate of a very luxurious community, which was relatively close to the provincial capital city.
They didn’t go in.
Instead, they waited at the community gate.
Before long, three black cars drove out.
He Gaoming stood up and signaled for the others to spring into action.
As soon as the three cars left the community, they were stopped by the ten or more people who came with He Gaoming.
“Chairman Zhang.”
After a casual glance, He Gaoming went to the rear window of the Mercedes-Benz in the middle, knocked on the window, and said, “Get out and let’s talk.”
Before the woman got out, four or five people got out of the two cars in front and at the back of the Mercedes and immediately surrounded them.
“In the northeast region, you are the first person who dares to stop my car.”
Zhang Yiran got out of the car, stared at He Gaoming with a cold look on her face, and said, “Tell me, what do you want to do?”
“He-he.”
He Gaoming responded with a sneer, and the other brothers ran over in a violent rage. All of them seemed to be ready to fight at any time.
“Chairman Zhang, I don’t want to make a big thing out of it, but if you don’t give me an explanation, my brothers and I won’t let you go.”
He Gaoming pursed his lips and said, “Two days ago, you slapped a girl in a primary school and caused her to lapse into a coma. Do you still remember the incident?”
Zhang Yiran raised her eyebrows.
“What’s wrong? Did that vile bitch ask you to harass me here?”
Zhang Yiran asked impatiently in a cold voice.
“Oh, I didn’t expect that from a chairman! I’d really like to learn from you: how could you spout such rude and insulting words so casually?”
He Gaoming’s face turned icy-cold, and he said, “By the way, the woman you mentioned is not a bitch, but the sister-in-law of all our brothers!”
“Watch your mouth. I’m not a man who strikes a woman, but I will if I’m pushed!!”
