Chapter 414 Zou Yixin Was Set Up

• On the other end of the line, Qian Ming’s breathing grew heavy. “When did it happen?” Ren Yanzu could hardly believe it. To climb this high, there had to be people backing Ge Yuanhao. How could this… “This afternoon. I heard his lower body was crushed.” The more Qian Ming talked, the more a chill crawled down his spine. When a colleague first mentioned it, he thought it was gossip. Then the people from forensics brought back the hard truth— Ge Yuanhao’s body was found at a fork in a country road. The initial judgment was severe fractures of the lower limbs caused by a hard impact. From the chaos at the scene, it looked very likely to be a car accident. But that was only a guess. The cops didn’t find his car, and there were no signs of brake failure on the road or nearby. One more weird thing— Ge Yuanhao rarely dressed casual. But when they found him, he was wearing a simple T-shirt and pants. That detail only made the whole thing murkier. “Got it.” After hearing the rundown, Ren Yanzu snapped his phone shut without hesitation. He turned to Zou Yixin, who was still flustered from the awkward moment, and said, “I need to head out.” “It’s this late—where are you going?” Of course she was uneasy. Not just because of the hour but also because he was hurt. “A comrade died. I have to go.” As he spoke, he swiftly changed into the neatly folded uniform by the bed. Zou Yixin didn’t grasp how serious it was, but since it was his comrade, she didn’t stop him. She saw him to the car, then went back to the ward to keep reading. She never imagined that everything they did in the parking lot was watched by Yu Xiangxiang. “Fine. Let the storm hit harder,” Yu muttered. At this critical moment, the rest of the Ren family was too swamped to meddle in her and Zou Yixin’s business anyway. It was past midnight. Ren Yanzu hadn’t found the real killer behind Ge Yuanhao’s death and worried she’d be scared alone at the hospital. He hurried back. But when he pushed the ward door open and saw the bed, flames leapt in his eyes. “Son of a bitch!” He lunged, grabbed the sleeping man, and slammed a fist into him. The guy was totally stunned, with no strength to fight back. He could only take punch after punch and whimper in pain. At the same time, Ren Yanzu noticed sweat beading on Zou Yixin’s forehead, her brows knotted tight, her cheeks flushed in a dangerous way. “Yixin!” He dropped the man and called her name. She couldn’t answer. All that came were gasps of “It hurts.” “Don’t be scared. I’m getting a doctor.” Ren Yanzu sucked in a breath, yanked the covers up, scooped her into his arms, and sprinted to the emergency room. Her temperature was sky-high. In his arms, she felt like a live coal. It burned him too. … “Good thing you got her here fast.” After checking her over, the doctor made a quick call. “She was injected with an aphrodisiac. A heavy dose. And judging by her symptoms, it was mixed with other drugs.” “Other drugs?” Ren Yanzu glanced back at Zou Yixin, who was finally settling. She was quiet now, but her hands still clutched the blanket tight. Pain? Fear? In the two hours he’d been gone, what the hell had she been through? He didn’t dare think about it. “It’s under control for now, but you should contact a specialist in this area,” the doctor said, packing up his tools. “Okay.” When the doctor left, Ren Yanzu picked her up. He didn’t take her back to the ward. He carried her and their things straight to the condo he owned. By the time they left, bodyguards had surrounded their original room. Give it a minute, and the truth would come out. Watching from a corner, Yu Xiangxiang started to panic. She hadn’t expected Ren Yanzu to return so fast. Even if that man had already done the deed, she hadn’t had time to clean up… One quick look and they’d know she was the one who set it up, right?
