Chapter 179: Chapter 179: 306

Jia Qing barely opened her eyes, looking at her earnestly, "Can you take down and keep my hairpin for me?"

The black hairpin was still clipped in Jia Qing’s hair at the time.

Her hair, still styled by Ye Yan earlier in the day, was now completely disheveled.

"Okay," Ye Yan extended her hand to take down the hairpin. "I will keep it for you and will definitely save you, you must hang in there."

Jia Qing revealed a weak smile, her dry lips moved as if she wanted to say something.

Ye Yan quickly leaned in closer.

"Dr. Ye, remember the things I’ve told you."

Her eyes stared unblinkingly at the black hairpin, "You must remember what I’ve said..."

After finishing, she fainted.

Ye Yan didn’t dare to delay, as the doors to the operating room had already opened.

Before changing into her surgical attire and disinfecting, she handed over the hairpin to Xiao Xiao for safekeeping.

Jia Qing was suffering from severe uterine bleeding, but luckily, the hospital had enough blood of her type.

After several hours of emergency surgery, Jia Qing’s life was finally saved.

However, her uterus had to be removed, and Li Jin was the one who signed the consent.

He never showed up from start to finish, only sent an assistant to run around, and it was the assistant who took care of the signing and brought back the papers.

The indifference and ruthlessness of Li Jin were much criticized by the VIP ward’s medical staff.

But given Li Jin’s status and his relationship as a family member of the patient, even though people had opinions, they could only curse him behind his back.

Ye Yan came out of the operating room and washed away the bloodstains on her hands.

After several hours of surgery, she was physically and mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, Jia Qing was pulled back from the brink of death, but she had permanently lost her ability to become a mother.

Ye Yan looked down at her own lower abdomen, her disdain for Li Jin deepened.

Why could such a beast continue to live freely and remain outside the reach of the law?

While a young girl had to lose her youth and happiness for the rest of her life because of him.

Jia Qing was saved, but she couldn’t tell if this was a good or bad thing.

As long as Li Jin continued to be arrogant, Jia Qing’s nightmare would not end. If she could enter the operating room once, she could enter a second and third time.

"Dr. Ye," Xiao Xiao knocked on the office door, "This is the hairpin you asked me to keep before the surgery."

Ye Yan took the black hairpin she handed over.

"That Mr. Li is really..." Xiao Xiao was at a loss for words, she even felt that calling him cruel and heartless wasn’t enough.

It was an insult to wolves and dogs.

Ye Yan thanked Xiao Xiao, "Please take care of the patient for now, let me know if there’s any situation."

"Dr. Ye, is there really no way to help Jia Qing? I feel so sorry for her," Xiao Xiao said, her heart ached as a woman herself.

They had reported this issue to the hospital director, but the director’s response was that they couldn’t influence the decisions made by the patient’s family.

Just like how if the family doesn’t agree to sign the surgical consent, they couldn’t proceed with the operation.

If something went wrong and someone died, no one could bear that responsibility.

The hospital would rather avoid additional problems.

How could they help her?

Jia Qing wouldn’t agree to call the police because it wouldn’t solve anything.

Police might at most say Li Jin was guilty of domestic violence, and with his connections, at most, he would be detained for a few days and given some education.

After he came out, he would only channel his grievance into intensified revenge on Jia Qing.

This is not helping, this is pushing Jia Qing into hell.

Initially, Ye Yan did have this idea when he was impulsive, but he had long given it up.

To help Jia Qing, one must employ a method that ensures Li Jin can never recover.

But this had far exceeded her capabilities.

Ye Yan held the hairpin, suddenly remembering that before Jia Qing fainted, she had been instructing her repeatedly to remember the words she had said.

Although their relationship was that of a doctor and patient, Jia Qing rarely spoke, probably because Li Jin had warned her not to speak nonsense.

The only time she talked the most was that day when she begged Ye Yan to comb her hair.

She said, since marrying Li Jin, she lived 24 hours a day "under broad daylight," without any freedom. Her only little scheming was hidden within that tiny bit of shadow.

A little, dark shadow?

Ye Yan suddenly raised the hairpin in her hand and observed it against the external light.

She guessed the small scheming that Jia Qing mentioned was a secret, hidden within this ordinary hairpin she always carried.

The light passed through, and the middle of the black hairpin showed a strange trace, crooked, seemingly some numbers.

"306?"

Ye Yan confirmed several times, those traces indeed represented the numbers 306.

But 306 could represent too many things. Where should she start?

Ye Yan placed the hairpin in a drawer and phoned Meng Tian.

This matter, she definitely could not directly ask Jia Qing, as she would not only refuse to speak, but it would also bring her danger.

And the only person she could ask for help was Meng Tian.

"Do you remember Jia Qing I mentioned to you last time? I need her detailed information."

Meng Tian of course remembered this person. She was the one who had told Ye Yan about Jia Qing’s background, "Give me ten minutes, I’ll send it to you."

It didn’t take ten minutes; Meng Tian sent a document.

Jia Qing was an illegitimate daughter; before being taken back by the Jia family, she had always lived with her mother.

Due to Mrs. Jia’s chronic illness, the two had little financial support. Therefore, Jia Qing never attended college and started working after graduating from high school.

Before returning to the Jia family, she worked as an assistant at a tennis club.

After marrying Li Jin, she also frequented the tennis club, but then suddenly stopped going.

It was probably because of domestic abuse from Li Jin, which left her covered in bruises and unable to show herself.

Tennis club, assistant?

Ye Yan quickly searched online for that tennis club and on a photo, she saw that the locker numbers at the club consisted of three digits.

It was likely that Jia Qing had hidden her secret in a locker at the tennis club.

Without delay, Ye Yan locked the drawer, informed Director Bi, grabbed her car keys, and left.

The tennis club was built near a soccer field, surrounded by large buildings.

Ye Yan followed the navigation and parked in front of the tennis club.

Inside the tennis club, she indeed found locker number 306.

"This is one of our coach’s lockers," the staff member summoned by Ye Yan said. "Afterward, we couldn’t contact her again, and no one has touched the locker since."

"She’s my friend who fell ill and was hospitalized," Ye Yan took out Jia Qing’s hospital information.

The staff member immediately recognized the person in the photo, very cooperative,"I remember her, she was a pleasant and cheerful young lady. Since she’s your friend, go ahead and clear the stuff out soon, it’s taking up space and others can’t use it."

After the staff member opened the locker, there was a document folder inside, which he handed to Ye Yan.

Ye Yan thanked the staff member profusely, then quickly got into her car with the document folder.
