After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 217

Pei Jing was handed a palm-sized map. Still feeling a little confused after hearing those words, he quickly reacted.

Now was not the time. The most urgent thing was that he responded with an "En" and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned back, "Can I go take a look at the child first?"

That son of his who had encountered ups and downs in life just hours after being born, he still hadn't even seen him yet.

Zhi Xia went up to hold his hand. The scene before his eyes changed and they entered the space.

The child was sleeping on the bed, occasionally pouting his lips, not knowing if it was because he hadn't eaten enough.

"Zhi Xia, I'm sorry that you've just given birth and still have to worry about these things and can't rest at ease." No matter how much more was said, what's done was done, this was something Pei Jing had to admit, "Let's go out."

Zhi Xia knew he must not be feeling well either, and with things like this, it was what no one wanted.

After leaving the space, Zhi Xia suddenly hugged him tightly, "Ah Jing, me and the kids will wait for you to come back."

"En," Pei Jing nodded and rushed out the door.

Those outside the door looked at each other, not daring to come in casually without hearing any voices.

The old lady was the first to speak, "Zhi Xia must be the most uncomfortable right now. I'll go in and take a look."

In fact, not only was Zhi Xia uncomfortable, but all of them were.

At least Zhi Xia knew the child had returned and was currently safe in the space, but others still didn't know and could only continue to worry.

An Zhiren was sent to treat his wounds. Although the external injuries looked serious, fortunately the scissors weren't stabbed too deep and didn't damage any internal organs.

He was arranged in a ward hanging on an IV. Liu Jun came in with another policeman, secretly winking at him when no one else noticed.

But when they walked to his hospital bed, they once again became serious.

"Comrade An, we've come to find out about what happened. Is it convenient to talk about what happened now?"

"Of course it's convenient." An Zhiren nodded, looking rather tired.

Liu Jun had already heard a lot about the child swap from others, but still listened to An Zhiren tell it again. The recorder behind him recorded it down with pen and paper.

After listening to him finish, Liu Jun said, "If what you said is true, then Wang Caixiang will be involved in child abduction and intentional injury, as well as attempted murder. But I still need to ask, after you arrived at Wang Caixiang's place, who made the first move between you two? Also, was the injury on Wang Caixiang's palm intentionally stabbed by you with scissors?"

An Zhiren's gaze darkened slightly as he replied, "Because of the divorce, things were not pleasant between me and Wang Caixiang. And because Wang Caixiang's cousin Li Xiu was also hospitalized and about to give birth, I suspected the child had been swapped when I first thought of her. It was also because she had a strong vindictive streak and had threatened me viciously before the divorce. At that time, I was also somewhat agitated, so when I went in, I pressed her against the table. Then I heard a baby crying in the room, so I let her go and wanted to go into the room to take a look. I didn't expect her to rush at me with scissors. When I looked back, the scissors happened to stab into my chest. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and managed to snatch the scissors. Then she still refused to let it go and we started wrestling. I lost a lot of blood, I felt very dizzy at the time, while she was very frenzied..."

"So you wanted to kill her with the scissors first, but only injured her hand?" The recorder's sudden questioning made the other three people startled.

An Zhiren quickly reacted and smiled bitterly, "How is that possible? Murder is against the law. How could I, a teacher, ever have such thoughts? And I was already seriously injured at the time. I could only warn her that murder is a crime, but I didn't expect her to stop entangling with me. Instead, she picked up the scissors and stabbed her own hand, then yelled outside that I was trying to kill her..."

That was indeed what happened. At most, he had switched the order of events.

And he did not intend to kill Wang Caixiang either, at most he wanted to force her to reveal the whereabouts of the child.

Liu Jun promptly stood up, "Alright, we basically understand what happened. There may still be places where we need your cooperation afterwards when interrogating Wang Caixiang. It's possible there will be a continuing need for you to cooperate."

An Zhiren and An ZhiXian still didn't know that the new child they found was not the one they were looking for, so they felt relatively at ease at the moment and both nodded, saying they would definitely cooperate.

After leaving the ward, Liu Jun asked the recorder behind him, "What's wrong with you? Do you know how much leading tendency exists in that question you just asked?"

If An Erge hadn't reacted in time for a moment back then, or if his mind had stalled for a bit, it would have been possible for him to take the mistake onto himself.

"I just asked casually." The recorder still felt Liu Jun was being unusually reasonable today, "Oh yes, Group Leader Liu, do you know that person just now?"

"He was my high school teacher, but he didn't teach my grade. I've seen him at school twice, can't say I know him. However, their family patriarch is quite well-known too. He participated in the War of Resistance back then. He even dissipated his family fortune to support the front lines and donated planes and cannons to the country. Back when I was still in school, I heard his eldest brother had also joined the army. For a family like this, their character should not be problematic." The one he knew was An Xiaosi, but could he say this?

Fortunately, An Xiaosi had joined the army. Over the years, the two of them occasionally exchanged letters, and he hadn't had much contact with An's family. So others didn't know about this relationship either.

Otherwise, as an acquaintance, he would have had to recuse himself from this case.

An Zhiang had perfectly interpreted that saying. Brothers were everywhere, and although he wasn't at home, the relationships he had built up back then were still helpful.

In the ward, An ZhiXian looked at An Zhiren, "Second brother, could it be that injury on your body was deliberate?"

With their several brothers all having practiced before, he didn't quite believe that Wang Caixiang, a woman, could have injured second brother like this,.

An Zhiren just smiled, clearly not denying it.

It was him who had injured Wang Caixiang. When he couldn't find the child, he was anxious and threatened like that.

If it were a few years ago, he might still have had some concerns. But after entanglements with Wang Caixiang for so many years, he had been somewhat influenced by her.

An Zhiren was no longer the gentle and refined youth he used to be. There was even some unspeakable darkness, which was the real reason he was eager to get rid of Wang Caixiang.

He still had some sanity left and didn't want to be assimilated by Wang Caixiang into becoming a bad person. That woman wasn't worth him ruining himself either.

He wasn't afraid that Wang Caixiang would not admit to the crime. Her switching the babies was a fact. And because of that, another child had died. There was that nurse and Li Xiu who could testify. As long as this charge held up, no matter how she defended herself, the slight injury on his body could be easily seen through.

"Oh yes, third brother, this injury should be under your jurisdiction right? I feel like my injury is quite serious and I want to stay in the hospital for a couple more days." An Zhiren reminded An ZhiXian.

No matter what, he had to establish his victim status.

No, he should say, he was the victim to begin with, and not just him, his whole family was.

The more serious his injury seemed, the less Wang Caixiang would be able to justify herself.

An ZhiXian helplessly stood up, "Then you just rest well. I'll go take a look at my little sister. That child looked a little unhealthy being held. I just hope the child is fine."

"En, you go ahead. If there's nothing wrong, let them go home early. Your hospital really isn't safe. Also, don't mention my injury for the time being. At this critical juncture, just taking good care of my little sister and the child will do. After all, it's not a big deal for me." An Zhiren urged him.

Pei Jing held the palm-sized map and left the hospital. He was relatively familiar with this area, and he recognized the marked location at a glance.
