429 Go to see Fisher
Upon hearing Yan Zuozuo's words, Yao Ziqian froze on the spot.
That night...
No, that's impossible. How did Yan Zuozuo know that he had seen Chi Xuecan that night? Or did the police know too?
No, if Yan Zuozuo really knew, she wouldn't be sitting here now; she would have already started taking revenge. So, she's bluffing him?
Thinking about it this way, Yao Ziqian breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Yan Zuozuo stared at Yao Ziqian's stiffly upright back, her eyes filled with anger. She wanted nothing more than to grab a knife and chop this man to pieces. How could he be so shameless? He hurt Chi Xuecan, and yet he had the nerve to come back and try to take the position of president. Did he really think he had covered his tracks perfectly?
"Don't know? Very well, I thought of the police station, Mr. Yao might remember that too."
Upon hearing the words "police station," Yao Ziqian's face turned deathly pale. Before he could even ask Yan Zuozuo what she meant, several police officers walked in, holding arrest warrants.
"Excuse me, everyone, may I disturb you?" The lead police officer walked up to Yao Ziqian. "Yao Ziqian, this is an arrest warrant. We are now arresting you in accordance with the law in connection with the murder of Chi Xuecan. Please come with us."
The police officer's words were like a bombshell, shattering the quiet conference room. Everyone stared at Yao Ziqian, speechless and utterly dumbfounded.
Yao Ziqian no longer cared about his image. His face was deathly pale, his whole body was trembling, and he was stammering, "You...you must have made a mistake...I didn't, I didn't do anything..."
“If you have any objections, you can hire a lawyer to handle it, but now, please come with us.” As he spoke, two policemen came over and escorted Yao Ziqian away, one on each side.
Watching Yao Ziqian being led away, everyone sighed. If they had voted for Yao Ziqian, the consequences... oh well, thank goodness!
Yan Zuozuo coughed lightly: "You have all seen the facts. Before the police have fully settled the case, I am not at liberty to say more. But Yao Ziqian's wolfish ambitions are already obvious. I hope you will all take this as a warning and not become the next Yao Ziqian. With such an incident, I am sure the media will exaggerate it and spread it like wildfire. This will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to our organization."
"However, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining, and every setback can be an opportunity. So I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely overcome this difficulty. Of course, if anyone loses confidence or wants to change their environment, I will not force them. At the same time, I will give everyone a good letter of recommendation, which will be the icing on the cake."
"And to those colleagues who have remained loyal and supportive, I, Yan Zuozuo, solemnly promise once again that I will be strict with myself and work together with everyone to ensure that every donation is used effectively and put into practice. I am confident that with everyone's efforts, our domestic branches will become even better, better able to serve the public, and gain public recognition!"
As soon as Yan Zuozuo finished speaking, Wang Ziliang led the applause, which lasted for a long time.
With today's events finally over, Yan Zuozuo walked out of the meeting room, nestled in Chi Moqing's arms, and let out a long sigh. With him there, she felt much more confident, warm, and at ease.
"Are you tired?" Chi Moqing asked gently.
Yan Zuozuo nodded. She didn't need to pretend in front of the man she loved, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
Chi Moqing tenderly carried her to the car, and seeing her glistening tears, his heart ached as well. "Don't cry, don't cry. Your husband is here. I'll support you no matter what."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, holding Chi Moqing's hand tightly. It took her a long time to say, "I won't cry, I won't cry. I was just worried... I was afraid I would let Cancan down. She has already..." As she spoke, she started to cry again.
Chi Moqing held her, understanding her feelings. He glanced down at his clothes, shook his head with a bitter smile, and reached out to hug her even tighter. "You did very well. You didn't disappoint Can Can."
His young wife seemed to have grown up. She was able to calmly and composedly deal with the recent setbacks and use her wit to completely defeat Yao Ziqian. He really admired her and liked her more and more.
However, while he was proud of her growth, he also felt sorry for her hardships. He originally only hoped that his little wife could be happy and carefree by his side, but unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned, and he had to watch her face all of this with a heavy heart.
His feelings for her were like those of a parent for their child—a mixture of wanting her to grow up and fearing she would leave. For Yan Zuozuo, it wasn't just deep love, but also the most irreplaceable familial affection. Regardless of his feelings, he wanted to offer her the best of everything, and he would spare no effort to fulfill her every request.
That love was intense and passionate; no one could separate them in this lifetime.
"Wife..." Gently kissing away the tears on her face, Chi Moqing said softly, "If you're tired or weary, just tell your husband. I'll help you with anything. Don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
Yan Zuozuo still had tears on her face, but hearing Chi Moqing's words, she felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. Holding the man she deeply loved tightly, she felt that this was enough for her entire life.
"I know, and that's why I was so brave just now." She smiled at him, her eyes sparkling.
Chi Moqing reached out and pinched her nose, his face full of doting affection.
Just then, his phone rang. Yan Zuozuo glanced at it casually and looked at Chi Moqing with curiosity. How did they get in touch?
Chi Moqing smiled, not knowing what the other person was saying, but he heard him say, "We'll have some progress soon, Manager Meng, please rest assured."
Soon, Chi Moqing hung up the call. Yan Zuozuo was very curious, "How did you come to be in contact with Meng Yuanfei?"
Chi Moqing blinked: "He asked me to do him a favor."
"What's the deal?"
Having known Meng Yuanfei for so long, Yan Zuozuo had never seen him troubled or show any other expression, only his calm and collected demeanor. His seeking help from Chi Moqing only fueled her curiosity.
"Privacy," Chi Moqing smiled. "Does my wife really want to know?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded without hesitation, but Chi Moqing surprisingly kept her in suspense, saying, "I'll tell you later."
"What the hell!" Yan Zuozuo glared at him in dissatisfaction, but the next second she heard Chi Moqing burst into laughter, "Wife, are you tired? Let's go back."
Yan Zuo was indeed exhausted, but she was still worried about Fisher. Although she often talked to Judy, she was still concerned. Especially recently, Judy said that Fisher's high fever kept recurring, and the doctors were at a loss.
"Want to see Fisher?" Chi Moqing seemed to know her every thought. Yan Zuozuo nodded, "Don't overthink it. Fisher got injured because of me. I feel really bad for him now."
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Silly girl, I'll take you there."
Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Husband, thank you. I will never fall in love with any other man in this life but you."
Chi Moqing smiled. If he weren't driving, he would have loved to hold his wife tightly and give her a passionate French kiss.
Although he couldn't do it himself, Yan Zuozuo did it for him. Even though it was just a quick kiss on his cheek, Chi Moqing felt incredibly satisfied and wanted to take his little wife home right now and cherish her.
However, Yan Zuozuo wasn't without her own worries. Staring at Chi Moqing's handsome profile, she felt a vague sense of unease. She wondered if Chi Moqing knew about Fisher's attempt to harm her a few days ago. If he did find out, what would he think?
She pursed her lips, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Seeing her like this, Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow slightly, "Wife, is something on your mind?"
Yan Zuozuo opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. Chi Moqing didn't press her for answers, and they quickly arrived at the hospital. Because they had contacted Zhu Xi beforehand, they saw Zhu Xi waiting for them at the hospital entrance when they arrived.
Julie greeted Chi Moqing somewhat timidly, then pulled Yan Zuozuo aside. Yan Zuozuo was confused, "Julie, what are you doing? How's your brother?"
Judy, looking furtive and glancing guiltily at Chi Moqing behind her, lowered her voice and said, "Zuo Zuo, could you please not let your husband in? My brother's condition is very unstable right now. He keeps running a fever and calling your name... I know, I know, this is not good, but my brother's condition is so worrying. Please, I'm begging you."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, turned around to look at Chi Moqing, pursed her lips and said, "Julie, wait here for me, I'll be right there."
Yan Zuozuo walked to Chi Moqing's side and, without any concealment, told him what Zhu Xi had just said. She looked at him with difficulty, "Husband..."
Chi Moqing chuckled softly, "Silly girl, go inside, I'll wait for you here."
Yan Zuozuo stared wide-eyed in astonishment, prompting Chi Moqing to sigh. "If it were truly possible to stop you, of course I wouldn't want you to go in; you're my wife. But I know even more clearly that if I don't let you in, you'll always feel guilty. I want my wife to be happy; if you're unhappy, I'll be even more heartbroken than you." He reached out and stroked her long hair, his eyes filled with deep affection as he said, "Go ahead, I'll always be here waiting for you."
Yan Zuozuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Honey, I'll be out as soon as possible."
Chi Moqing nodded and watched Yan Zuozuo leave.
When Yan Zuozuo and Zhu Xi arrived at the ward, they were surprised to find Qin Yun there as well. Yan Zuozuo was taken aback and looked at Zhu Xi. Zhu Xi also frowned; this woman hadn't been there when she left, so what was she doing here?
Julie dislikes Qin Yun; she never did. She's willful, self-righteous, selfish, and shameless. I really don't know how my brother ever fell for her. Luckily, they broke up; otherwise, having a sister-in-law like that would be worse than killing her.
Judy didn't bother to greet Qin Yun, and pulled Yan Zuozuo towards Fisher's bedside. "Zuozuo, my brother has been teaching you your name and keeps apologizing... Please talk to my brother, maybe... maybe there will be a turning point..."
"Julie, calm down first." Yan Zuozuo comforted Julie, then turned to look at Fisher, only to see that his face was still pale, he was having some difficulty breathing, his mouth was moving, and some indistinct sounds could be faintly heard, something like: Zuozuo, I'm sorry.
It was clear that Fisher hadn't fully regained consciousness and was perhaps still teetering on the brink of death. Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of pity; regardless of what Fisher meant, he had ultimately done this to save her.
