Chapter 292 My Fiancé's Comatose Uncle (58)
Unexpectedly, Fu Desheng and Wu Lixia avoided the topic when they heard this.
Fu Desheng downplayed the issue, saying, "Since that's the case, I'll go and check the surveillance video from the accident scene later."
Wu Lixia looked around and changed the subject: "What's the use of talking about this now? I'm not in the mood to think about anything else. I just hope that Shi Yi can come out of the operating room safely. That's the most important thing."
Just then, there was a knock on the door from the outside, and Secretary Yang walked in.
"Mr. Fu, the doctor just issued a critical condition notice, which needs to be signed by a family member."
"what?!"
"Whose critical condition notice?"
It doesn't really matter whose critical illness notice it is, because this is only the first one.
Over the next few hours, the doctors issued several critical condition notices one after another, one for each of the four people in the operating room.
This car accident was extremely serious.
As dawn approached, the four people who had been in intensive care all night finally received results.
Qi Tongsheng and Shen Yunhui, a married couple, died from their injuries despite all efforts to save them.
Qi Ruo suffered extensive burns all over her body. In addition, her right leg was so badly injured that it could not be saved and had to be amputated.
Fu Shiyi also suffered extensive burns all over his body. Even more seriously, his spinal cord was damaged. Even if he could barely survive, the best outcome would be paralysis from the head down, leaving him bedridden for the rest of his life.
Qi Tongsheng and Shen Yunhui were sent directly to the morgue.
Qi Ruo and Fu Shiyi were sent to the ICU, and they are not yet out of danger.
The entire Fu family suffered a huge blow, and Wu Lixia fainted immediately upon hearing the news.
The Fu family was devastated by Fu Shiyi's serious injuries, but the other two dead and one injured in the car accident were all members of the Qi family.
Even though Qi Ning didn't care much about the life or death of her stepmother and stepsister, Qi Tongsheng was, after all, her biological father. After her father died in a car accident, she naturally seemed "heartbroken".
After regaining his composure, the old man ordered everyone to do everything they could to save Fu Shiyi and Qi Ruo, who were still in the ICU. At the same time, he instructed Fu Desheng and his team to investigate the truth behind the car accident as soon as possible.
However, Fu Desheng and his wife did not seem very enthusiastic about investigating the truth.
On the contrary, Fu Jinnan actively cooperated with the police investigation for the sake of his father-in-law and nephew, as if he would not give up until he found out the truth.
The old man found it strange; Fu Desheng and the others' reactions were not like their usual behavior.
When the old man showed any doubt, Fu Desheng said, "Dad, Shi Yi is still in the ICU, and Lixia is also sick. I'm so busy that I don't have time to take care of the investigation."
"The investigation is naturally handled by the police, so there's no need for me to worry about it. But don't worry, I will do my best to investigate."
In reality, this was of course just an excuse by Fu Desheng.
The main reason he didn't investigate was because he felt guilty.
As the mastermind behind the scenes, he's too busy trying to interfere with the investigation to cooperate with it.
Fu Jinnan naturally understood Fu Desheng's little scheme. He said to the old man, "Dad, since my eldest brother can't spare the time, then leave this matter to me. I will cooperate fully with the police investigation."
Upon hearing this, Fu Desheng immediately glanced at him, his eyes swirling with emotion, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.
Fu Desheng is now basically certain that Fu Jinnan must have known something all along.
In fact, Fu Jinnan had specifically arranged for Fu Shiyi and his group to get into that car.
Putting everything else aside, just consider the few drinks he and Wu Lixia had that night. Normally, they wouldn't have gotten drunk at all.
But that very night, they inexplicably became so drunk that they didn't watch Fu Jinnan and the others get into the car.
The drinks at the banquet were all arranged by Fu Jinnan and his group, and they were cleaned up after the banquet. Even if Fu Desheng wanted to investigate the drinks now, it would be too late.
Although there was no concrete evidence, Fu Desheng had a strong feeling that Fu Jinnan had definitely set a trap for them.
They clearly intended to harm Fu Jinnan and Qi Ning, but unexpectedly, they ended up harming Fu Shiyi instead.
The current situation has left Fu Desheng unable to eat or sleep, filled with anxiety, fearing that the police will come knocking on his door tomorrow.
The old man was unaware that the two brothers in front of him had long lost their outward harmony and had even reached the point of plotting their lives against each other.
The old man agreed after hearing Fu Jinnan's words.
"In that case, Jin Nan, you should cooperate fully with the police investigation. Also, regarding your wife, her father has passed away, so you should comfort her and help her with the funeral arrangements for her father and stepmother."
"Don't worry, I will," Fu Jinnan replied.
After leaving the old man's place, Fu Desheng went straight home.
As soon as he got back, Wu Lixia rushed over and complained to him.
She didn't know that Fu Desheng had just returned from the Fu family's old house. He immediately started to mock her: "So you know how to come back? Your son is injured and hospitalized, and you don't seem to care much. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the person lying in the hospital isn't your own son. What kind of father are you?"
“Who doesn’t care about their son? You don’t know anything!” Fu Desheng scolded irritably.
Of course he cared about Fu Shiyi, but Fu Shiyi's injury was a fait accompli that could not be changed, so there was no use in caring about it.
Now, he is more worried about himself, fearing that he might be found out if he is not careful and then be arrested. He doesn't want to go to jail.
"You're still cursing me?" Wu Lixia yelled. "If it weren't for the car accident you orchestrated, Shi Yi wouldn't have been so badly injured. If anything happens to our son, I'll never forgive you!"
Fu Desheng was already irritable, and these words made him even more impatient: "When I proposed this plan, you were very supportive. Now you're just blaming me after the fact?"
"If it's not your fault, who is? Even if I agreed to it, I said I would discuss it with our son beforehand, or at least tell him. But you insisted on saying no. If he knew, he definitely wouldn't have gotten on that car!"
The reason Fu Shiyi wasn't informed was because Fu Shiyi and Qi Ruo had married without permission, which angered Fu Desheng.
Fu Desheng had no intention of saying more to Wu Lixia, and casually shoved her: "Have you had enough! What's the use of saying all this now? The police and Fu Jinnan are investigating that car accident. If they find out, neither of us will get away with it!"
Wu Lixia was pushed by him and fell to the ground.
But Fu Desheng ignored her and went to his study to make a phone call.
If things had gone according to plan, with Fu Jinnan and Qi Ning dying in a car accident and no one investigating, Fu Desheng was confident that he wouldn't have been found out.
But now Fu Jinnan is relentlessly pursuing the matter, determined to get to the bottom of it, and there's no way to shake him off.
Fu Desheng had no choice but to start using his connections to find a way to resolve the matter.
However, three days later, the police found Fu Desheng and Wu Lixia directly.
"Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, please come with us to cooperate with the investigation of a case."
After learning that Fu Desheng and his wife had been taken away by the police, the old man and woman immediately called Fu Jinnan over to ask about the situation.
"What happened? Why were your older brother and sister-in-law taken away by the police all of a sudden?"
Standing in front of the old man and woman, Fu Jinnan said with a serious expression, "Mom and Dad, you need to be prepared for what I'm about to say. Don't get too excited."
Upon hearing Fu Jinnan's words, the two elderly people immediately had a bad feeling and even vaguely guessed what was going on.
Sure enough, the next second, Fu Jinnan said, "The reason the police took away my brother and sister-in-law is because the car accident was related to them; they were the ones who set it up."
"However, the people they originally wanted to hit were me and Ningning, because Fu Shiyi and the other three happened to be in our car that night, so they were hit by the wrong person."
"what?!"
It was impossible for the old man and woman not to be shocked when they heard this.
The old lady was reluctant to believe it: "How could this be? Why would your older brother and sister-in-law plan a car accident to hit you?"
The old man had already noticed something was amiss.
For example, after the incident, Fu Desheng and his wife had an unusual attitude towards the matter. They did not actively cooperate with the investigation, but instead made various excuses.
In addition, the old man had long known about the power struggle between Fu Desheng and Fu Jinnan.
He thought it was just a business struggle between brothers to compete for the Fu Group. He never expected that Fu Desheng would go so far as to want to kill Fu Jinnan.
The old man closed his eyes briefly and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any evidence?"
“If there were no evidence, why would the police have taken them away so easily?” Fu Jinnan replied.
The old lady listened to the conversation between the father and son as if she had already confirmed the facts.
She was still somewhat unwilling to believe it.
"Why did your older brother and his gang plan the car accident to hit you and Ningning?" she asked again.
Fu Jinnan gave a wry smile: "What else could it be for? Of course, it's for the right to inherit the Fu Group."
"Mom and Dad, there's something you don't know yet. During the investigation of this car accident, the police also uncovered some suspicious points in my car accident three years ago."
"You mean..." the old woman asked, her lips trembling.
Fu Jinnan said slowly, "So, the car accident I had three years ago was also orchestrated by my older brother and his gang. They probably didn't intend to kill me that time. Who knew I would wake up after sleeping in the hospital for three years?"
"After I recovered and was discharged from the hospital, I was in competition with them again. They had long been dissatisfied with me, and after Ningning and I got married, they couldn't hold back any longer and took action against me again."
"If it weren't for a series of unfortunate events that led Fu Shiyi and the others to get into that car, Ningning and I would be the ones lying in the ICU or the funeral home right now."
After hearing these words, the old man and the old woman remained silent for a long time.
After being arrested, Fu Desheng and Wu Lixia were interrogated and faced with irrefutable evidence, they had no choice but to confess.
However, both the car accident three years ago and this one were orchestrated by Fu Desheng. Although Wu Lixia was fully aware of the incident, she did not participate in the crime.
Fu Desheng was detained pending trial for the crime, while Wu Lixia was released because her failure to report the crime did not constitute a crime.
The first thing Wu Lixia did after she was released was to go to the Fu family's old house to plead with Mr. and Mrs. Fu, asking them to help Fu Desheng find a way to reduce his punishment.
But when the old man and woman learned the truth behind it all, and learned that Fu Desheng had twice murdered his brother, they were very disappointed in him.
They not only refused to help Fu Desheng, but they also refused to see Wu Lixia, who came to plead for him. They had the servants block her from entering the courtyard.
Wu Lixia was filled with resentment because she couldn't see the old man and the old woman, and she blamed everything on Qi Ruo.
She felt that it was all because of Qi Ruo that things had turned out this way.
If Qi Ruo and Fu Shiyi hadn't been having an affair and been photographed having an affair in a hotel, Qi Ning wouldn't have broken off her engagement with Fu Shiyi.
If Qi Ning hadn't broken off her engagement with Fu Shiyi, she would have become their daughter-in-law and an asset to them, instead of turning around and marrying Fu Jinnan.
If Qi Ning hadn't married Fu Jinnan, they wouldn't have joined forces against them, and Fu Desheng wouldn't have orchestrated another car accident to kill Fu Jinnan.
If Fu Desheng doesn't make another move, Fu Shiyi won't be accidentally injured, and Fu Desheng won't be arrested.
In the end, it all comes down to Qi Ruo, that jinx!
Wu Lixia became increasingly angry as she thought about it, and after leaving the Fu family's old house, she went straight to the hospital.
At this time, Fu Shiyi and Qi Ruo were out of danger, had been discharged from the ICU, and transferred to a regular ward where they were allowed to be visited.
As soon as Wu Lixia arrived at the hospital, she went straight to Qi Ruo's ward and started cursing at her, unleashing a torrent of foul language.
In this situation, she can no longer maintain the elegance and dignity of a wealthy wife; she only wants to vent her emotions.
Qi Ruo is now wrapped up like a rice dumpling in her hospital bed. Her extensive burns have not yet fully healed, and the amputation of her right leg has left her unable to move.
She just lay in bed silently shedding tears, not responding to Wu Lixia's insults.
Qi Ruoxin thought that all of this was probably her retribution. It was bad enough that she had harmed herself, but she had also caused the deaths of her parents.
Thinking of the deceased Shen Yunhui and Qi Tongsheng, Qi Ruo couldn't stop crying and even thought about jumping off the hospital roof.
Of course, she was just thinking about it.
Because Wu Lixia's insults were exceptionally loud, they could be clearly heard outside the corridor, and soon a nurse came in to stop her.
Wu Lixia, of course, wouldn't listen to the advice of the nurses and continued to point at Qi Ruo's nose, calling her a jinx. If the nurses hadn't been holding her back, she would have hit her.
Her insults not only reached the corridor but also the next ward, and even Fu Shiyi heard them.
Now, Fu Shiyi, also suffering from burns, lies in a hospital bed wrapped up like a mummy, unable to move his entire body.
However, his inability to move was different from Qi Ruo's. Qi Ruo's inability to move was mainly due to the amputation of her right leg, while Fu Shiyi's paralysis was caused by spinal cord injury, resulting in hemiplegia and paralysis below the head.
