Chapter 92 Private Detective
Huangfu Ruiling frowned, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment.
Ye Leng'an looked at Huangfu Ruiling's appearance, but was a little curious. What is the relationship between Huangfu Ruiling and Zhong Yuyiran? To say that the two were familiar, but Huangfu Ruiling just called each other by their full names, and there was no sense of any closeness at all. If the two were not familiar with each other, Huangfu Ruiling happened to be running around because of each other's illness. It's really strange.
However, she could tell that the people around Huangfu Ruiling seemed to be quite familiar with this Zhong Yuyiran. Especially Li Yi from before, who seemed to care about Zhong Yuyiran very much.
After a while, Huangfu Ruiling asked again, "Then is there a way to temporarily stabilize her condition, the medicinal materials have not been found yet."
Ye Leng'an thought for a while before saying, "I have a medicine that can temporarily make the Gu worms in her body dormant for three months. During these three months, no matter what happens, even the owner of the Gu worms can't control the worms. It's just—"
"Just what?"
"The side effects of that medicine are a bit serious." Ye Leng'an continued to explain, "If it is a dose that can make Gu worms fall into dormancy, the damage to the human body must be not small. Moreover, those damages are irreversible. To put it simply, even if the patient wakes up in the future, it is absolutely impossible to recover as before."
This is also the reason for her hesitation, because the damage is not ordinary, and when she wakes up in the future, she may become a sick person. So, let Huangfu Ruiling decide whether to use medicine or not!
After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Ruiling asked, "How much will it hurt?"
"The body will become very weak." Ye Leng'an said, "It can even be said that the body is much worse than ordinary people. If you don't pay attention, even a cold may develop into pneumonia. In short, you need to take care of it carefully. However, if you can find some medicines to nourish your body, such as ginseng and ganoderma that have been around for hundreds of years, you should be able to take care of it better."
These medicines are all expensive and precious. However, for Huangfu Ruiling, it should be a trivial matter.
After thinking about it for a while, Huangfu Ruiling opened his mouth and said, "Then use the medicine! In the southern border, I will let people continue to hurry up to find the medicine. But—"
"I don't know when you have time?"
"There are still a few days before the trials for the Mathematical Olympiad." Ye Leng'an said after a moment of contemplation, "After the selection for the Mathematical Olympiad is over, I will ask the principal for leave, and then let's go!"
Originally planned to go again during the winter vacation, but now that things have changed like this, it is better to leave as soon as possible. The Gu worm in Zhong Yuyiran's body was like a time bomb, no one knew when it would explode. Especially now that something obviously happened to the Gu worm's master.
If it continues to drag on, I don’t know if the person on the bed can wait for the medicine. So, now we can only leave early.
However, the principal may be unhappy again. After all, she had just returned to school shortly after returning from leave, and now she was going to start asking for leave again.
"That's good," Huangfu Ruiling nodded, "Then I'll let someone prepare it."
"Then I'll go back and make the elixir later." Ye Leng'an nodded, and said, "In the early morning tomorrow, you can send someone over to get the medicine. There are no requirements for the elixir, just put it in your mouth and it will melt in your mouth."
"Yes." Huangfu Ruiling nodded, then looked at his watch, "It's getting late, I'll take you back!"
"No need." Ye Leng'an directly picked up his bag, and left without waiting for Huangfu Ruiling to say anything, "I still have something to do, so I can go by myself."
After speaking, she waved her hand and left directly.
Huangfu Ruiling originally planned to say something, but seeing Ye Leng'an's leaving back, he didn't say anything in the end.
After Ye Leng'an left, he did not go home. She took a taxi to a somewhat dilapidated building, then went up to the fifth floor, and went directly into a house. There is a sign outside the house that reads "Chaoyang Private Detective Agency".
Yes, she came to the detective agency. I learned from the Ye family couple before that the only person who has contact with her is a woman with a crescent-shaped birthmark on her wrist. Although she said she didn't particularly care about her life experience, she was still a little curious. So, I hired a private investigator to investigate. Two days ago, the private detective called and said that there was some progress and wanted to talk to her.
She thought, since she came out today, she might as well drop by. Otherwise, there would be even less time to go to southern Xinjiang.
"Miss Ye, you're here." As soon as Ye Leng'an came in, an ordinary-looking man, the boss of the detective agency, immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, "Please sit down, I'll pour tea first."
He attaches great importance to Ye Leng'an, the benefactor. After working as a private detective for so many years, he has never encountered such a generous client. Therefore, it is natural to take good care of it.
"Don't bother." Ye Leng'an stopped the boss's behavior, and said directly, "Boss Ma, just tell me the progress!"
Boss Ma, that is, after hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Ma Lei didn't insist. Instead, he turned around, took a document from the desktop, sat opposite Ye Leng'an, handed it to her, and said, "Miss Ye, take a look, this is the result of my recent investigation."
After Ye Leng'an took over the documents, Ma Lei continued to explain, "I've gone to the hospital where Li Zhaohui gave birth to investigate. She did give birth to a daughter, but she was critically ill right after birth. The hospital tried their best to rescue her, but they didn't save her, and the family members were even notified. But, I don't know why the baby came back to life later."
"It is said that the doctors and nurses in the hospital were very surprised. They were obviously out of breath. But when they planned to pack up and deal with it later, they found that the baby was breathing again, and it was even much more stable than when it was just born."
Ye Leng'an nodded while flipping through the documents in his hand. Obviously, the baby Ma Lei was talking about should be her.
"However, neither the doctors and nurses in the hospital nor the neighbors around the house they lived in had ever seen the woman with the crescent moon birthmark on the wrist that Ye Shen mentioned. It seems that that person only appeared in the mouths of Ye Ping and Li Zhaohui, and never existed in real life."
He even had some doubts, whether the Ye family couple were lying. Because as long as a person has appeared, there will be traces left behind. However, there was no trace of this woman who was said to have appeared several times. This doesn't make sense at all.
"They didn't lie." Ye Leng'an said, "There is no need for them to lie either. Because I am indeed not their daughter."
The showdown had already been made clear, there was no need for Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui to lie to her. Moreover, the existence of that house is too tempting for them, enough for them to tell those so-called secrets.
After hesitating for a while, Ma Lei continued, "Miss Ye, in fact, when we were in the hospital, the doctors and nurses also suspected that the baby had been swapped. Then they checked the surveillance video inside and outside the emergency room, and found that no one had entered the emergency room or approached the child during the period from the time the child was declared dead after the rescue failed to the time the child miraculously came back to life."
"It's also because of this reason, so although they had some doubts, they didn't know what to do in the end."
Ye Leng'an froze for a moment, "The surveillance video, have you seen it with your own eyes? Or just heard about it?"
"The surveillance video should have been deleted at this time." Ma Lei said, "However, because things were a little weird back then, the hospital deliberately kept this surveillance video, just to worry about any disputes. There will be a certificate when the time comes. I bought the person who kept the video and saw it with my own eyes."
"Besides, I also made a copy and asked a professional to identify it. The video has no editing or other processing, it is definitely the original."
Ye Leng'an held his chin with one hand, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is the video still there? Can you make a copy and bring it back to me later?"
Hearing Ye Leng'an's request, Ma Lei quickly said, "Miss Ye can just take it back, I don't need to keep a deposit here."
After speaking, Ma Lei immediately got up and went to find the video tape.
"Boss Ma, don't be in a hurry." Ye Leng'an stopped and said, "Did you know this was investigated?"
"No, I have something else to ask," Ma Lei continued after sitting down, "Miss Ye, I found out a very interesting thing, which may be related to your being outsourced."
There seems to be nothing written in the document, Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
Ma Lei didn't keep it secret, and said directly, "When Li Zhaohui and Chen Wanqin were not discharged from the hospital, a person went to the hospital. She was neither visiting patients nor seeing a doctor. She just went around the hospital and then went back. And, most importantly, she was a good friend of Chen Wanqin's, named Pang Tingting."
"It is said that the two have been good friends since college. Even after graduating from college, they still maintained a very close relationship. I just don't know why before Chen Wanqin got married, the two of them suddenly fell out."
Ye Leng'an immediately understood the meaning, "You mean, it's Pang Tingting who dropped me and Ye Xiyuan?"
"It's very possible." Ma Lei said, "And, after that, Pang Tingting applied to the company to go out of town. She hasn't been back for so many years."
Ye Leng'an nodded, and then said, "There is no need to continue investigating the matter of that mysterious woman. Also, help me find out the specific address of that Pang Tingting."
Hearing that Ye Leng'an no longer investigated the mysterious woman, Ma Lei was a little anxious. He thought that Ye Leng'an didn't trust him, "Miss Ye, if you give me some more time, I'm sure I can find out."
"Boss Ma doesn't need to be so anxious. It's not that I don't believe in your ability." Ye Leng'an explained, "I just don't think there is any need to continue the investigation. Since there is no news after investigating for so long, maybe the time has not come yet, so I am not in a hurry."
"I'll call you the balance tomorrow. As for Pang Linlin's address, please check it when the time comes, and just send it to my email."
She had already investigated before looking for Ma Lei. This Ma Lei is still very good at investigating things, and he can be regarded as a leader among private detectives. Therefore, since he has been investigating for so long and still hasn't found out, I'm afraid the mysterious woman is not so simple.
Moreover, even the monitoring video of the hospital can be changed, so the forces behind it should not be small. If Ma Lei continues to investigate, he doesn't know if he will encounter any danger. Although she was interested in the truth behind it, she didn't want to put Ma Lei in danger. If Ma Lei had any accidents because of this incident, then she would also have a disturbed conscience.
After hearing Ye Leng'an's explanation, Ma Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and then promised, "Miss Ye, don't worry, I will send you Pang Tingting's address tomorrow."
Ye Leng'an took the video tape, left the private detective agency, and then returned to the villa.
Back to the villa, it was late, and Ye Leng'an was not in a hurry to watch the video tape. After putting the videotape away, she went to wash and go to sleep.
Tonight, in order to stabilize Zhong Yuyiran's condition, she really expended a lot of energy. Moreover, in front of Huangfu Ruiling, she did not dare to use her spiritual power at will, so now she feels very tired and just wants to rest early.
In the next few days, Ye Leng'an didn't skip class, she always went to and from get out of class on time, and listened carefully during class. Even if the teacher's lecture on the podium was like a lullaby, she listened carefully. She looks like a normal student.
After a few days of running-in, she has stabilized in Class F.
The Mathematical Olympiad trials were held as scheduled. Everyone attaches great importance to this exam, and everyone wants to represent the school in the Mathematical Olympiad. However, there were not many people who signed up this time, and most of them were students with good scores in the Mathematical Olympiad. For this selection test, everyone is also looking forward to it seriously.
"Zhi la—" a crisp voice sounded, Ye Leng'an got up, picked up the test paper she had prepared, and then walked to the podium.
"Teacher, hand in the test paper." Ye Leng'an directly handed the test paper to the invigilator.
Seeing Ye Lengan's actions, the invigilator couldn't help frowning, then glanced at the name on the test paper, and said, "Student Ye, do you really decide to hand in the paper early?"
Although he saw that the test paper was densely filled with answers, he didn't think that all the answers were correct. It's only been half an hour since the exam started, so it's impossible to do the exam paper well. These Math Olympiad questions were researched by the mathematics teachers of the whole school, and they were almost comparable to real Math Olympiad competitions. Half an hour, unless you don't have to think at all, just write all the answers directly. Even so, however, time is tight.
Ye Leng'an nodded and insisted, "I want to hand in the paper."
Seeing Ye Leng'an's resolute attitude, the invigilator couldn't say anything, so he could only accept Ye Leng'an's test paper.
Others were a little surprised when they saw Ye Leng'an handing in the paper. No, maybe it should be said that everyone was shocked when they saw Ye Leng'an in the examination room.
If it is someone else, they may not necessarily know each other. But recently, Ye Leng'an has become so famous in Sheng'an Middle School. Everyone has seen the photos, so they recognized him naturally. Therefore, Ye Leng'an's achievements are known to everyone.
Unexpectedly, with Ye Leng'an's results, he would dare to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. Now that the papers were handed in ahead of time, it must have been filled out indiscriminately! From this point of view, Ye Leng'an is really determined to participate this time!
Ye Leng'an, who had already left the examination room, did not go home, but went to the principal's office instead. And she went to the principal's office this time for no other reason than to ask for leave. Of course, she was not sure how the headmaster would react when he heard that she planned to ask for leave again.
However, no matter whether the principal approves it or not, she will definitely ask for leave this time.
However, Ye Leng'an didn't expect that before he reached the principal's office, he was stopped by someone.
Looking at the person who blocked her, Ye Leng'an couldn't help frowning, "Ouyang Xuyan, get out of the way."
That's right, the person who came was Ouyang Xuyan, who was also Zhao Yanran's crush. For a long time, Zhao Yanran kept targeting her because Ouyang Xuyan liked her. However, she didn't have much affection for Ouyang Xuyan.
"Leng'an, I just came back today," Ouyang Xuyan looked at Ye Leng'an, with a warm smile on his handsome face, "I've heard about everything that happened during this period, how are you?"
Facing Ouyang Xuyan's concern, Ye Leng'an's expression didn't change a bit, and even his tone was indifferent, "My business has nothing to do with you. Ouyang Xuyan, get out of the way."
Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Ouyang Xuyan's face flashed with sadness, and then he said, "Leng'an, let's sit down and have a good talk, can we?"
Ye Leng'an didn't want to pay attention to Ouyang Xuyan at all, but then he thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
She also felt that it was necessary for the two of them to talk about it before. At least, Ouyang Xuyan's behavior has really disturbed her.
A moment later, in the coffee shop outside the campus, Ouyang Xuyan and Ye Leng'an were sitting opposite each other, with a cup of coffee in front of them. However, neither of them spoke first. For a moment, an awkward atmosphere permeated between the two.
Ye Leng'an sat there quietly as if he didn't notice anything.
"Leng An, I'm sorry, so many things have happened to you during this time, and I haven't been by your side." Ouyang Xuyan broke the deadlock first, "However, I'm back now. Whatever happens in the future, I will definitely be by your side."
After taking a sip of coffee, Ye Leng'an put down the cup in his hand, looked at Ouyang Xuyan, and said directly, "Ouyang Xuyan, please don't disturb me in the future, I don't want to involve you too much."
She doesn't like Ouyang Xuyan, and she is disgusted with Ouyang Xuyan's approach. Of course, she didn't think that Ouyang Xuyan really liked her. Although everyone around felt that Ouyang Xuyan liked her. But she knew very well in her heart that Ouyang Xuyan didn't have any love for her.
"Leng An, why do you have to keep rejecting me like this?" Ouyang Xuyan showed a hurt expression on his face, "I really like you. Even if you are no longer Miss Ye, I will not despise you."
"But I don't like you!" Ye Leng'an looked at Ouyang Xuyan, with a wicked smile on his face, "Besides, Ouyang Xuyan, you don't like me either. You just pretend to like me. Don't you feel tired of acting like this all the time?"
You can't pretend to like someone, Ouyang Xuyan doesn't have any love for her. In the past, she never doubted Ouyang Xuyan, but now she knows that Ouyang Xuyan does all this for one person.
"Leng An, what are you talking about?" Ouyang Xuyan looked innocent, "I really like you, and I'm not acting."
"Ouyang Xuyan, have you heard a saying?" Ye Lengan leaned back on the back of the chair with a lazy expression, "In this world, there are two things that cannot be hidden, one is coughing, and the other is love. You have no love for me, there is no doubt about it."
Hearing this, Ouyang Xuyan froze for a moment, but he immediately looked at Ye Leng'an affectionately, "I really love you, everyone knows this, and I have never hidden it. Leng An, why are you unwilling to accept me?"
Ye Leng'an sneered, "It seems that he has acted a lot, so even he was deceived."
"You—" Ouyang Xuyan looked at Ye Leng'an, squinted his eyes, and suddenly said, "Leng'an, you have really changed a lot."
Before, he went to other places as an exchange student. When he returned to school, he heard about Ye Leng'an and Ye Xiyuan. Afterwards, he came to look for Ye Leng'an without stopping.
Now looking at Ye Leng'an in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed. Because, the current Ye Leng'an is really different from the previous Ye Leng'an. Except for the identical face, there seems to be no similarity.
No, perhaps, even the face has changed a lot. Ye Leng'an used to be savage and willful, chasing after Li Deze all the time, no matter how good-looking his face was, he would lose some of his color.
But now Ye Leng'an, the whole person seems to have been reborn, just sitting there, the aura radiating from it is impossible to ignore. The already beautiful face exuded an indescribable charm at this moment.
