Chapter 133: Coma

~8 min read 1,487 words

Pei Huaiye's sharp gaze swept across the courtyard, seeing not only his own family but also villagers and a group of Public Security Officers; Liu Chunxing's family and Captain Xiang's family were also there helping.

He spoke in a non-committal, deep voice, "Still waiting for results."

Su Mingqiang stumbled toward Pei Huaiye, leaning against the wall, and then fainted again.

"Dad!"

Su Qingwu rushed over to hold Su Mingqiang, and Xiang Jianming frowned and hurried over to check.

"Yuan Guang, you check on my dad first!"

After Pei Huaiye finished his instructions in a deep voice, he went straight into the west bedroom.

He packed the clothes Su Qingyue needed to change. Thinking of his delicate wife's soft and fair skin, he also took two sets of bed sheets and quilt covers from home.

The water bottle, aluminum lunch box, towels, enamel basin, and everything else Su Qingyue could use were brought along.

Yuan Guang knocked on the door and entered.

"Uncle Su is just excessively frightened; there's nothing wrong with his body."

Pei Huaiye looked out the window and whispered, "How is the investigation going? Did you find any useful evidence in the cave?"

"There were only bloodstains in the cave, and the culprit's footprints were deliberately destroyed. However, when we passed Su Qianqian's house while bringing Xiaobai back, it kept barking."

"Then we quietly found these things."

Yuan Guang took out the evidence: a green garment, a piece of blue denim fabric, and some black powder wrapped inside.

"This garment was hidden under the wall in Su Qianqian's backyard, and this piece of fabric is the material from Zhuangzhuang's pant leg."

"The black medicinal powder has been confirmed as rat poison. The cloth wrapped around Xiaohei after it died also contained rat poison. The Public Security side has already verified that the culprit is indeed Su Qianqian!"

Pei Huaiye's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists.

Yuan Guang continued, "But the culprit should have an accomplice. When the sister-in-law was kidnapped, Su Qianqian was helping to look for people, so she has an alibi."

Pei Huaiye's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, "Stay put, wait for my news, and continue to visit and search for more evidence. It would be even better if we could find an accomplice!"

On the way back, Jiang Chao revealed to Pei Huaiye that the County Magistrate and his wife were going to the Capital on a business trip tomorrow.

To ensure nothing went wrong with this matter, he must make Su Qianqian pay the price completely and never be able to turn things around!

He had to wait for the County Magistrate's wife to leave before arresting Su Qianqian!

"How is the sister-in-law now?"

Yuan Guang asked quietly. He knew that if Su Qingyue had any trouble, the Regimental Commander wouldn't have returned home suddenly.

"Mother and child are safe, but you should still tell the outside world today that she is unconscious and still being resuscitated!"

Yuan Guang was stunned and understood instantly, then asked, "Should we not even tell the eldest brother and Uncle Pei?"

Pei Huaiye shook his head, "Just hide it for one day. She is too seriously injured, and I haven't had time to ask about these things."

Yuan Guang nodded, already having a plan. "Xiaobai's leg isn't serious. I will take it to continue looking for clues today."

The two discussed the details in low voices, and Yuan Guang loaded the bags onto the Jeep.

Pei Huaiye walked out of the bedroom, and Pei Huaimei, with red eyes, was about to step forward to ask questions.

"Eldest brother, I..." She wanted to ask how her sister-in-law was.

But she was glared at fiercely by her brother's sharp eyes.

That cold, ruthless gaze seemed to be asking: "Did you take good care of your sister-in-law? Why didn't you do what you promised?"

Pei Huaiye ignored everyone, his face livid as he got into the Jeep and drove away like a whirlwind.

Pei Huaimei burst into tears, "Brother Su, it's all me, it's all my fault. If I hadn't gone to take care of Gaogao, sister-in-law wouldn't have been lost, and wouldn't have been kidnapped and poisoned..."

Pei Huaimei cried until she was out of breath. Everyone thought of Pei Huaiye's silent, dark face, and their hearts sank.

Zhuangzhuang also covered his mouth and sobbed quietly; he didn't dare to cry loudly, not wanting anyone to have to take care of him at this time.

Su Qingwu's eyes also turned red. He turned his face away and cupped his hands to thank everyone in the courtyard.

"Everyone hasn't slept all night, go back and rest first. Now we can only wait for news."

Yuan Guang said with a serious face, "Yes, leave the rest to the Public Security Officers. We must find out who the culprit is. You all go back and rest."

Xiang Jianming sighed and walked out, unable to understand why things had developed to this point.

In just half a day, the news spread throughout the village that Su Qingyue was unconscious and still being resuscitated, and that Old Man Su had fainted after hearing it.

Pei Huaiye was angry at the Su family, didn't say a word to them, and hated his sister for not taking good care of his wife.

At noon, after work, a group of people crowded together to discuss it.

"Su Qingyue's situation is not very good. I heard she is still being resuscitated. Pei Huaiye was disheveled and had a dark face; he didn't even look at his father-in-law when he left."

Wang Juqin patted her chest and said. Su Qianqian's clenched palms gradually loosened after hearing this.

Another woman spoke, "How good could the situation be? She was covered in blood when she came down the mountain; it was too miserable! It seems she was attacked by some wild beast."

Wang Juqin's eyes widened, "She's been in resuscitation for a whole night, I'm afraid she really is going to..."

"Sigh, God bless Qingyue to be well. She is our village's money tree; nothing can happen to her!"

Su Qianqian rolled her eyes in her heart.

It would be better if she died; only then would it be over!

She asked softly and gently, "Then the sister-in-law and Qingxi haven't come back either?"

Wang Juqin shook her head, "They are still at the health center."

"Sigh, at this time, we can only rely on fate. Did Uncle Su really faint?"

Su Qianqian put on a concerned look, "Should I go take a look?"

Wang Juqin shook her head, "I'm not sure about that, but Li Zilan and Su Qingxi are also at the health center and haven't come back. There really isn't a woman at home to manage things."

"You'd better not go, Qianqian. They didn't like you much to begin with; wouldn't you just be adding to their trouble if you went?"

Su Qianqian's eyes turned cold. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't a good time to have a conflict with people, she would have really wanted to curse out loud.

She turned her thoughts and still wanted to go to the county health center herself to find out if Su Qingyue was going to die so she could rest easy.

But she had to breastfeed Yuanbao and couldn't get away.

As soon as she got home, she was yelled at by Qiao Wang, "Where did you go again? Can you have a little bit of a mother's appearance? The child is crying and you don't care?!"

"How did I not care? I only went out after the child fell asleep."

She coaxed Yuanbao with a soft voice and then went to coax Qiao Wang.

"Don't you want to change jobs? Buy some things tomorrow, go to Aunt Ding's house first, and just say I couldn't get away because I was taking care of the child, then go to the hospital to see Su Qingyue. Once she gets better, we can talk."

Qiao Wang glanced coldly at Su Qianqian, "Don't you know what kind of person Pei Huaiye is? You want me to go up and get beaten? Besides, Su Qingyue has been in resuscitation for a whole night and hasn't come out; she's probably not far from death."

Su Qianqian pinched her husband's arm, "That's how things are, but if we go to show goodwill at this time, outsiders won't say anything about us."

"The Public Security Officers have asked us both several times, and there are rumors in the village that we harmed Su Qingyue, so you should go take a look even more."

Qiao Wang thought that was true, and he could also go to exchange identities with his brother.

So he rode his bicycle away.

Yuan Guang found out and arranged for people to follow him.

"Hurry and report to the Regimental Commander!" ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
