Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 173 I, Tang Xiumin, am just that arrogant and domineering! I look down on everyone!

"Damn it, are you mute? I..."

Tang Xiumin raised her hand to slap Guo Xiaoming.

The nurse exclaimed urgently, "What are you doing? He just had brain surgery last night!"

"I...I won't hit him!"

"I just wanted to scare him a little."

"Maybe if he's given a little stimulation, he'll regain his memory."

Tang Xiumin smiled awkwardly and put her hand down.

The nurse reminded him impatiently:

"But aren't you being a little too hasty?"

"He just had surgery yesterday, you should at least let him rest for a few days!"

"Rehabilitation training after brain injury only begins after the surgical wound has healed and all physical data have returned to normal."

“If you stimulate him now, it will not only fail to help him recover his memory, but it will also easily aggravate his condition and make it more difficult for him to recover.”

Tang Xiumin gritted her teeth and glared.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that.

Her first instinct was to swear.

But looking at her husband, who had a blank expression and looked like a fool.

I also noticed that the nurse was wearing a white coat, so she could be considered a professional.

No matter how anxious you are, you can't have a brain surgery yesterday and then experience mental stress today.

"Then I'll go talk to the doctor, is that alright?"

"Of course, the doctor's office is behind our nurses' station."

"I know, you have to say it!!"

Tang Xiumin gave Guo Xiaoming a deep look.

Carrying an expensive handbag, he strode out of the ward with a brisk and confident stride.

Guo Xiaoming, who had been pretending to be deaf, dumb, and stupid, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, that was close!"

"This nurse is really great, I must send her a banner of appreciation later!"

When Tang Xiumin rushed into the doctor's office, her voice was booming.

What's wrong with my husband? Will he ever fully recover?

"May I ask which patient's family member you are?"

Guo Xiaoming!

"He suffered a head injury, which led to intracranial hemorrhage..."

The doctor patiently analyzed and explained.

To enhance persuasiveness.

He even showed Guo Xiaoming's brain CT report and gave a presentation.

After listening, Tang Xiumin asked with a gloomy expression:

"So, according to you, whether he can regain his memory depends on luck?"

"It mainly depends on the recovery. Some people have severe brain damage and will lose their ability to speak and move their limbs, while others have less severe damage and will fully recover after a period of rest."

"Do you know why he was injured? How did he end up at your hospital?"

“I don’t know about that, but I saw in his medical record that he was transferred from the Lower Bay Area People’s Hospital.”

"Lower Bay Area? Who delivered it?"

"I don't know, I suggest you go to the hospital over there and ask."

"Of course I'll ask him, but how did he get this injury?"

"It could be from being hit by a heavy object, or it could be from falling and hitting the back of the head."

"Could I have been robbed on the street?"

"That's possible. Our hospital has treated quite a few people who were robbed and injured in the head. They were usually knocked unconscious from behind, so they were completely unprepared."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Tang Xiumin got up and left.

Before she even left the office, she had already dialed the phone.

"Dad, I suspect Xiaoming was robbed in Xiawan yesterday."

"I was taken to the district people's hospital by a kind person, but the district hospital couldn't treat me, so I was immediately sent to the city's No. 1 Hospital."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Master Tang asked with a question:

"Being ambushed and robbed? That doesn't make sense either!"

"Why wasn't his phone taken by the robber? The hospital is still able to use it to call you."

Tang Xiumin stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed.

"Right, why wasn't his phone stolen?"

"If he sells this phone secondhand, it'll be worth at least a thousand yuan!"

"Could it be that someone used robbery as a pretext to commit the crime? The robbery was a ruse; their real purpose was to kill him!"

Grandpa Tang gave a soft hum.

"It shouldn't be. If they really had that kind of scheming, they would have just taken the phone directly, wouldn't that be more like robbery?"

"Alright, alright, what's the point of guessing? Why don't we just have Director Qin order the Municipal Criminal Investigation Division to investigate?"

Tang Xiumin, who has a bad temper, doesn't want to use her brain much.

Why bother figuring out what you can do when you already have a network of contacts?

After hanging up the phone, she immediately made a call to Qin Jianguo, the deputy director of the Jinghai Public Security Bureau.

Guo Xiaoming, general manager of Haifu Group, the largest private enterprise in Jinghai, is suspected of being robbed...

This is no small matter.

Qin Jianguo gave the order.

Criminal Investigation Detachment Captain Li Xiang quickly made arrangements, splitting the team into two groups.

Led by Zhang Biao, the team went to the Lower Bay Area People's Hospital.

The other team, led by him personally, rushed to the First People's Hospital of Jinghai.

It was learned that Guo Xiaoming had undergone brain surgery just last night, and he didn't even recognize his wife, Tang Xiumin.

Therefore, Li Xiang did not wake Guo Xiaoming to ask questions, but instead had someone carefully question the doctors and nurses.

Soon after, An Xin reported that the results in the Bay Area were not very good.

“They conducted interviews and investigations, and the nurses and doctors on duty yesterday only remembered that the injured person was carried in by two people.”

"They come into contact with so many patients and their families every day that they can't remember exactly what it looks like."

"And the person who brought him here said he was going to pay the fee, but then just left without a word."

"Later, the nurse found the phone in her handbag and notified Ms. Tang."

As soon as An Xin finished her report, Li Xiang immediately turned to look at Tang Xiumin.

"What time did you arrive after receiving the call from the hospital?"

Around 11 p.m.

Why so late?

"I thought it was a scam!"

Tang Xiumin said angrily, "He told me in the afternoon that he had to work overtime, but then he called in the evening saying that he was injured and hospitalized. I thought he was a liar."

"Later, it was past 10 p.m. and he still hadn't come home. I called him and he said he was in the hospital. My dad told me to come over and see if it was true."

"However, I didn't see him when I came last night. He was only transferred from the intensive care unit this morning to this regular ward, and he doesn't even recognize me."

An Xin gave Li Xiang a look.

Li Xiang asked someone to continue questioning him, then picked up his bag and left the ward.

After walking a few steps away, Li Xiang asked in a low voice:

"What do you think about this?"

An Xin looked around.

"I think we can rule out robbery first."

“We’ve handled so many robbery cases that we basically looted everything of value.”

"Where would they leave a cell phone for the victim? Even a child knows how valuable a cell phone is."

Li Xiang nodded slightly.

"go on."

An Xin said in a deep voice, "His money disappeared without a trace, most likely stolen by someone. That's why he sneaked away as soon as he arrived at the hospital."

Li Xiang turned his head and glanced in the direction of the ward.

"The most crucial issue now is to figure out why he got injured."

“Look at that woman surnamed Tang, you can tell she doesn’t care about the money, she cares more about the reason for her injury.”

An Xin nodded repeatedly.

"Of course I know the Tang family and the Haifu Group."

“Last year, I went undercover and infiltrated Crazy Donkey’s circle. I lied and said I was working at the Huamao Real Estate construction site under Haifu Group.”

"The problem now is that we have too little information. The two hospitals didn't have many surveillance cameras at all, and the clues that eyewitnesses can provide are extremely limited. We..."

"Officer An!!"

A loud voice suddenly rang out.

An Xin turned her head in surprise.

Gao Qiqiang, dressed like a successful man, walked towards us with a smile.

Nowadays, he wears a shirt, dress pants, and shiny black leather shoes, with his hair combed slicked back.

It's no longer the old factory street, that honest fishmonger!

To his side and slightly in front was Chen Tai, the renowned "Uncle Tai" of Jinghai, who was walking with a cane.

To Gao Qiqiang's right was Chen Shuting, a woman with wavy hair and a captivating charm.

Walking at the very back was Tang Xiaohu, carrying a fruit basket and holding a bouquet of flowers.

It seems they came to the hospital to visit Guo Xiaoming.

The relationship between Haifu Group and Jinghai Construction is almost common knowledge.

Many of the real estate projects are developed by Haifu Group and constructed by Jinghai Construction.

"Mr. Gao!"

An Xin looked at Gao Qiqiang, who was all smiles, with a serious expression.

"Long time no see, you've gained weight!"

"is it?"

Gao Qiqiang glanced down.

"Looks like I've been eating too well lately, I really need to lose weight!"

After raising his head, Gao Qiqiang immediately smiled and nodded to Li Xiang.

"Captain Li, it's been a long time!"

"It's been a long time."

Looking at Gao Qiqiang now, he is full of energy and looks like a successful person.

It's hard to imagine that just last year this guy was being bullied by the Tang brothers at the Old Factory Street vegetable market.

In just one year, Gao Qiqiang's fate underwent a dramatic change.

What are you doing here?

Gao Qiqiang asked with a smile.

"Here to investigate a case."

An Xin's answer was straightforward and simple.

And they will never disclose any further information.

"Then you all go ahead with your work, I'll go visit Mr. Guo in the ward."

After saying that, Gao Qiqiang and Chen Shuting walked hand in hand towards the ward.

"Becoming a businessman, a big boss, makes a difference!"

"He is no longer as timid and cowardly as before. He walks with his head held high and is very confident."

Li Xiang's sighs and lamentations suddenly gave An Xin a bright idea.

"Oh, that's right!"

"Haven't there been rumors that after Xu Jiang and Bai Jiangbo died, Gao Qiqiang became the underground boss of Jinghai?"

"Moreover, Xiawan, where President Guo was injured and had an accident yesterday, happens to be a place that Bai Jiangbo has painstakingly managed for many years."

"Now that Xiawan is Gao Qiqiang's territory, could he know something that we don't?"

Li Xiang frowned slightly.

"If Mr. Guo were to trip and fall while walking, what clues would Gao Qiqiang possibly have to provide?"

"An accidental injury leaves no clues, but what if it's revenge from an enemy? Why not ask?"

An Xin, who was extremely enthusiastic about investigating the case, immediately walked quickly towards the ward.

After taking a few steps, he found Li Xiang still standing there in a daze, so he hurriedly waved to him.

Li Xiang sighed inwardly.

Having someone like An Xin, who loves investigating cases, can sometimes be truly unbearable.

In a small case like this, once robbery is ruled out, it's already not very significant.

Even if it takes a lot of time and effort to find out the truth, what then?

A simple "thank you for your hard work" from the boss is all it takes to get it over with.

There won't even be a commendation or announcement.

But it’s all here.

They happened to run into Gao Qiqiang and his group.

It wouldn't hurt to ask.

but……

Just as Li Xiang had predicted.

When they arrived at the ward and inquired, both Gao Qiqiang and Chen Shuting shook their heads.

"If there are robberies, assaults, or violent assaults in the lower Bay Area, we will definitely be informed."

"But nothing happened yesterday, so we don't know how Mr. Guo got injured in Xiawan."

An Xin casually asked, "Then how did you know he was injured and hospitalized here?"

"I needed to report to him and contact his secretary, and that's when I heard about it!"

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang glanced at Tang Xiumin.

"Thanks to the support of Haifu Group over the years, Jinghai Construction has many projects to undertake."

"So when we heard that Mr. Guo was injured and hospitalized, we were very anxious and rushed over to visit him immediately."

Tang Xiumin, with her hands folded and clasped in front of her chest.

He was arrogant and dismissive, letting out a cold snort.

"Gao Qiqiang, stop talking nonsense!"

"When are you going to hand over those who threatened and beat up the residents whose homes were demolished?"

Hear this.

Not only Gao Qiqiang, but Chen Shuting and Chen Tai were also stunned.

Is this something that can be said in front of police officers like An Xin and Li Xiang?

Are they so used to being arrogant, domineering, and lawless that they are so disrespectful and inconsiderate?

Tang Xiumin, however, does not use pig brains.

Even Guo Xiaoming, who was pretending to be stupid in his hospital bed, was so angry that his heart was pounding wildly.

Instantly, the electrocardiogram monitor began to beep frantically.

"Hey, hey, hey, my husband's reacting!"

"He definitely knows what we're talking about!"

"Quickly, continue discussing how to resolve the issue of relocating the affected residents!"

"Did you find ten people to confess?"

Gao Qiqiang had not yet spoken.

Guo Xiaoming, lying in his hospital bed, was the first to break down in anger...
