The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300: 114 Chief Chen Arrives (Second Update)_2

Xu En’s hospital room.

Dr. Lance’s antidote won’t arrive in Xiangcheng until tomorrow, and at the moment, oxygen was still being administered to his face.

“You’re saying it’s a CN nerve agent?” the police officer looked at Xu’s assistant with some hesitation, “Are you sure?”

Xu’s assistant nodded, “These were all detected by Dr. Li, and he has the records.”

The officer nodded affirmatively and made a note of it, finally turning to Ji Mulan: “Ms. Ji, if this involves foreign elements, the investigation will be much more difficult.”

“Why?” Ji Mulan asked the officer, visibly agitated, “Old Xu has been poisoned; look at him now, lying on the hospital bed, his life hanging by a thread…”

The officer, understanding the emotions of the victim’s family, held his notebook, “Our authority isn’t that extensive, and it’s highly likely this will end up unresolved.”

He was being honest with Ji Mulan.

Xiangcheng, being near the border, had too many such cases.

The two officers almost spelled it out: the waters were too deep for ordinary people to dare to wade in.

“We will do our best,” another officer tried to soothe Ji Mulan.

But looking into their eyes.

How could Ji Mulan not know they were just making excuses, “If you don’t have the authority, then find someone who does!”

She was about to say more, but she was stopped by Xu’s assistant, who shook his head at her.

Xu’s assistant escorted the two officers out.

He then called Ren Qian; among the people they knew, only Ren Qian had a significant influence in Xiangcheng.

“Mr. Xu returned to Jiangjing?” Ren Qian had already received the false news from Xu’s assistant.

Xu’s assistant followed Bai Lian’s wishes and subtly changed the subject without a trace, “Yes, so is the police force in Xiangcheng limited in handling international cases?”

Upon hearing this, Ren Qian answered seriously, “It’s not exactly that there’s no way…”

Xu’s assistant was startled, “Please, tell me.”

“Xu’s assistant, can’t you guess?” Ren Qian did not say it directly.

But Xu’s assistant understood, “Thank you.”

Ji Mulan sat in front of Xu En’s hospital bed and tilted her head slightly, “What does Ren Qian mean? Is there someone who can take care of Old Xu’s issue? Who is it?”

Xu’s assistant was somewhat silent: “You should have heard of him, Chen Yongkun.”

Chen Yongkun?

Ji Mulan looked up blankly.

She had heard the name more than once; Xu En had been in Xiangcheng for so long and, with his status, hadn’t been able to invite that Mr. Chen for a meal. Only Xu Yajun from Jiangjing had met Mr. Chen once.

To meet him was already so difficult, yet to ask Mr. Chen to investigate Xu En’s case…

Xu’s assistant took out his cell phone to leave.

He was calling Xu Wenyao.

Xu Wenyao was on the way from Beicheng to Xiangcheng, and as he heard the news, his gaze turned to the window outside, “So we cannot hold them accountable?”

“There’s no way,” sighed Xu’s assistant, having experienced more than Xu Wenyao, “It’s already an unexpected stroke of luck that Mr. Xu was saved this time. Ren Qian and the others made it very clear. Regarding this matter, he suspects that it might be Mr. Lu, so perhaps only Chen Yongkun would be able to intervene.”

After all, the project that Xu En had was snatched from Mr. Lu’s hands.

Xu En had been here so long, and Mr. Lu was the only enemy they knew of, not aware that Mr. Lu had already disappeared.

Xu Wenyao pursed his lips, “I’ll contact Xu Yajun.”

He and Xu Yajun had been high school classmates.

In times like this, they could only contact her; no one in the Xu Family knew Mr. Chen.
