Chapter 569: Chapter 559: Something’s Wrong, Jiang Lingxi’s Core Team

Han Dashan was moved to an empty bed by two strong orderlies.

After all, the hospital is still quite humane; they can’t just let people sleep in the hallway all night.

However, once the orderlies turned off the lights and shut the door, the person who had been lying on the bed like a sack of potatoes immediately curled up into a ball, shivering under the covers.

Even with all the planning and mental preparation, watching his biological father cry out to him for help and then seeing the light fade from his eyes... That feeling, he never wants to go through that again in this lifetime.

Earlier, when he was outside the emergency room, he really did fall asleep. For one, he had indeed drunk a lot, but not to the point of passing out. He just wanted to escape by pretending to sleep.

When the doctor informed him that his father was gone, he woke up, but didn’t dare open his eyes in front of others, especially the police, fearing they would notice something wrong in his expression.

Even when Pei Xinyuan slapped him, he barely managed to resist the urge to open his eyes.

Now, with only himself in the room and a thick blanket over him, he could finally release the fear in his heart.

Dad, your son didn’t want to hurt you either, but you always loved taking all the benefits for yourself and leaving nothing for me. Isn’t a father’s role supposed to be making sacrifices for his children? Blame yourself for being too selfish.

At least dying because of the alcohol you loved most in this life can be considered a fitting end. You didn’t hate me when you left, did you?

Dad, since you’ve passed, please don’t come looking for me!

While Han Dashan muttered these reassurances to himself, he reached for the slightly damp check on his body.

Tomorrow, he would have the police help Han Jiaojiao withdraw the lawsuit, get the remaining funds, transfer Han Jiaojiao to a cheaper hospital, and hire a carer, which would be enough.

The police knew his hometown address, but he didn’t plan on going back. With 10 million in hand, he wouldn’t have to worry about food and expenses just from the interest in the bank. Who knows where he could end up.

After calculating all this, Han Dashan forced himself to close his eyes.

"Boss, Han Qi died from alcohol poisoning."

In the dimly lit screening room, Bai Shengyu raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

Then he chuckled softly, "Who would’ve thought, he seemed so unimpressive, but acted decisively and was quite ruthless."

The assistant nodded with a complex expression, he was equally surprised.

"What about the final payment check..."

"Prepare it for him, let him hold it along his journey, wouldn’t he leave happier that way."

The assistant patted the goosebumps off his arm, bent slightly, "Understood."

Han Dashan wasn’t ruthless enough, truly ruthless people always wore a gentle and approachable mask.

Like his boss!

Jiang Lingxi heard about Han Jiaojiao’s father dying on the operating table from alcohol poisoning from Pei Xinyuan the next morning.

"Something’s not right."

"Xixi, what do you think is wrong?"

"Han Dashan met Bai Shengyu right before Han Qi died. Now, Han Dashan is Han Jiaojiao’s direct guardian. If he wants to withdraw the lawsuit and show the police that he won’t pursue it further, then all the compensation would fall into Han Dashan’s hands alone."

Pei Xinyuan immediately thought of a possibility, breaking out in a cold sweat, "Are you saying Han Dashan killed his own father just to grab the entire compensation? That, that’s..."

It was indeed quite shocking.

"There are actually gentler methods, aren’t there? Han Qi was so old, just making him incapacitated would have sufficed, no need to kill him."

An accident, she could accept; if it were premeditated murder... chills ran down her spine.

Was Han Dashan a devil?

Thinking back to the two slaps she gave him last night...

Jiang Lingxi draped the shawl Fang Yao handed her over her shoulders, and as she was about to close the balcony window, she gestured with her hand, "No worries, a breeze will clear my head." Then she said to Pei Xinyuan on the phone, "To see if it is or isn’t, just investigate."

If she didn’t have work today, she would have gone to the hospital herself.

Just by taking a look at Han Dashan, she would know if he felt guilty.

"Ah, how do we investigate? Han Qi’s body was already sent to the mortuary."

"If Han Dashan intended to harm his father, he would’ve made thorough preparations, else his effort would go to waste. Han Qi’s case is definitely not just alcohol poisoning. I suggest you report it, say you suspect Han Dashan of murdering his father, suggest an autopsy, and also check the drinks and food they had. Something’s probably fishy there."

"Xixi, I, I’ll think it over."

"Be quick, a reminder, after extreme panic, people become extra calm. Han Dashan might not have thought to destroy evidence last night, but once he calms down, he’ll definitely act first thing. Plus, he’ll demand to dispose of his father’s body as soon as possible."

Listening, Pei Xinyuan gulped nervously, "I understand, Xixi, you take care. I was planning to see you at the event today, but it looks like I won’t have time. I wish you the best at the event."

"Thanks for the good wishes."

After hanging up with Pei Xinyuan, Jiang Lingxi adjusted her shawl and called Shen Yunqing.

Once connected, she got straight to the point. "Han Jiaojiao’s father is dead."

Shen Yunqing remained silent for a second, "Han Dashan did it?"

"Most likely, and it’s very ruthless. Bai Shengyu probably had a hand in it too."

"Alright, I understand."

"I’ll leave the follow-up to you. Tong-jie is calling me; I have to get to work."

"Okay, go ahead."

Hanging up, Jiang Lingxi turned and waved to Tong Yue, standing at the junction of the living room and balcony, smiling brightly like sunshine, "Morning, Tong-jie."

Tong Yue had vaguely overheard some voices and strangely felt the girl was up to something big behind her back.

But seeing her smile so beautifully, she abandoned the urge to ask. "President Shen personally brought over the outfits for today’s event; you have a good eye, so pick for yourself. The makeup artist is also here. Zhengzheng said you haven’t had breakfast yet, and you’ll be busy all morning, so eat more later."

Listening to her nagging, Jiang Lingxi returned from the balcony to the living room, greeting Shen Chuyue, who was hanging up clothes with an assistant. She then met the makeup artist team exclusively for her, whom she was seeing for the first time despite them being on the job for days.

It was just one makeup artist and two assistants.

"Hello, Miss Jiang, I’m Xiaoxiao, a student of Yun Ping’s."

Jiang Lingxi shook Xiaoxiao’s extended hand and nodded slightly to the two assistants, a man and a woman, behind her, "Pleasure working together!"

Since waking up until now, months later, she finally managed, before the year ends, to cobble together a team of her own!
