Chapter 140 – Must Investigate to the End
On this side, Xu Xiangbei went to the police station to report the case.
When Zhang Changzheng learned that Xu Jinning had been injured and was now undergoing surgery at the hospital, his heart skipped a beat.
The person who harmed Xu Jinning was Lin Wangshu. Knowing that she was still at Qinghe Production Brigade, Zhang Changzheng immediately led a team, drove a police car to Xu’s house, arrested Lin Wangshu, and detained her.
Lin Wangshu never expected that the Xu family would really report her to the police.
And she was really arrested.
Now, she was locked up in prison.
Moreover, whether intentionally or because there weren’t enough cells, Lin Wangshu was placed in a cell with several other female inmates, one of whom was insane.
When Lin Wangshu first arrived, all those female inmates looked at her, and the insane woman even smiled at Lin Wangshu.
Lin Wangshu was instantly frightened, her face turning pale.
She wanted to get out, but no matter how she shouted, no one paid attention to her.
Now, Lin Wangshu was somewhat at a loss. She even regretted coming to Qinghe Production Brigade. She had clearly returned to the city and was living the life she wanted. She shouldn’t have come back just because of a letter from Ye Meizi.
How did she lose her mind and come back? How did she end up pushing Xu Jinning down like a madwoman?
Now, she couldn’t get out.
Especially after hearing that the chief of this police station, Zhang Changzheng, was Xu Jinning’s godfather.
He definitely wouldn’t easily let her go.
Now, the only thing she could do was wait.
Fortunately, before being arrested, Ye Meizi secretly came to see her. She told Ye Meizi her parents’ contact information.
Now, she could only wait for Ye Meizi to call her parents and ask them to come rescue her.
Lin Wangshu wasn’t worried that her parents wouldn’t come to rescue her; after all, she was their only daughter, and initially, they had swapped her with Xu Jinning for a better life.
Her parents would definitely come to rescue her, and they would surely be able to get her out.
It’s just…
She hoped they would hurry; she didn’t want to stay in this hellish place for a moment longer.

On the other side, after Zhang Changzheng arrested Lin Wangshu, he immediately rushed to Anren Hospital.
Coincidentally, not long ago, Xu Jinning was wheeled out of the operating room and was now in the ward.
Seeing the girl in the ward with bandages on her head and a pale face, Zhang Changzheng’s expression turned heavy, his brows furrowed with worry.
“How is Ningning?” Zhang Changzheng asked.
“Song Yi said Ningning’s condition is okay. Although there was quite a bit of bleeding, fortunately, it didn’t affect the critical areas. And she was brought in on time; otherwise, if there had been significant blood loss, the consequences would have been bad,” Xu Aiguo said.
Zhang Changzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained serious. “Ningning has still suffered.”
“By the way, I’ve already arrested Lin Wangshu. What do you plan to do next?”
Zhang Changzheng was worried that the Xu couple might not pursue Lin Wangshu due to their fifteen years of family relationship.
Although Zhang Changzheng knew that such a situation was unlikely with the Xu couple, what if it did happen?
So, Zhang Changzheng still asked.
If the Xu couple really chose that path, Ningning would be too pitiful.
Fortunately, the Xu couple didn’t disappoint Zhang Changzheng.
“Of course, we handle it as it should be handled. She intentionally harmed someone. If anything happened to Ningning, she would have intentionally killed someone. Can we pretend not to know?”
“Yes, we must investigate to the end.”
“We’ll follow the legal procedures.”
“Changzheng, this matter is up to you.”
Zhang Changzheng nodded. “I know what to do, but…”
He still had some concerns deep down.
“Lin Wangshu’s biological parents, you know what they do. If they use their connections, it might not be easy to convict Lin Wangshu…”
When investigating Xu Jinning’s background, Zhang Changzheng learned about Lin Wangshu’s biological parents’ occupations.
Mrs. Lin is a university professor, which is fine.
But Mr. Lin holds a high position now.
If they use their connections, they could apply pressure here.
Although Zhang Changzheng is currently in charge of the Anren County Police Station, it’s still too low.
If they really have to confront this, it would be difficult to resist.
Before, Zhang Changzheng was full of passion in this profession, but now, as he looked at the girl lying on the bed, he suddenly felt an urge to climb higher.
At the very least, he wanted to climb to a position where if someone b*llied his little girl, he could seek justice for her.
He didn’t want his little girl to suffer in silence after being b*llied!
Xu Aiguo also knew about the status of the Lin family.
His fists clenched tightly.
Was he just going to let it go like this?
“Even if Lin Wangshu’s biological parents are powerful, does that mean they can do whatever they want?”
“Ningning’s health was already fragile. Should we just overlook intentional harm like this?”
“No, absolutely not!”
Xu Xiangbei, who had always been unable to contain his temper, clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with anger.
“That’s not what I mean. I am also Ningning’s godfather. Would I just let her be b*llied for no reason?”
“Anyway, I will do my utmost to seek justice for Ningning.”
Lin Wangshu’s parents have connections and influence, and Zhang Changzheng has achievements. In any case, he is determined to seek justice for Ningning and not let others b*lly her in vain.
“Changzheng, come here, I need to talk to you about something…”
Xu Aiguo pulled Zhang Changzheng into a corner. “Earlier, you suspected that Ningning might have been deliberately swapped. Do you have any leads now?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changzheng immediately remembered some information he had seen this morning.
“I happen to have some leads. I suspect that the Lin family bribed a doctor from the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Anren Hospital to assist them in the swap.”
“And I’ve identified this person to some extent; I just need evidence now.”
“Is this person you’re talking about surnamed Zhong?” Xu Aiguo asked.
Zhang Changzheng narrowed his eyes instantly.
Yes, this person is surnamed Zhong, specifically Zhong Dequan. But how did Brother Aiguo know?
“I can’t tell you how I know, but I can assure you, it’s this person.”
“So, follow up on this person. If you can uncover the Lin family’s collusion with Zhong Dequan to swap children back then, that would be illegal, right?”
“With this on the Lin family, even if they can’t be convicted, it will certainly have an impact.”
“If this matter is exposed, their ability to participate in saving Lin Wangshu will be quite limited.”
Zhang Changzheng’s eyes brightened slightly, then he nodded. “You’re right, I know what to do now.”
He just needed to find evidence of Zhong Dequan’s crime as quickly as possible.
