Chapter 184: 184 Leg Lengthening Surgery (Part 4)

This was the first time in her life that Zuo Lingxiang had ever entered a police station, and found herself unable to articulate her situation properly.

Moreover, that old man was adamant that she was his accomplice.

The icy interrogation room.

The uniformed police officer gave Zuo Lingxiang a cold glance, "What’s your name?"

It’s really incomprehensible, what’s wrong with young people these days, with able hands and feet yet not doing honest work, only engaging in these sneaky activities.

Have all the years of studying sage books gone to waste?

"Zuo Lingxiang."

"Gender."

"Female."

At this point, Zuo Lingxiang, somewhat agitated, said, "Officer Comrade, I’ve been wronged, I’m really not a thief; I’m just an ordinary university student at C University."

The officer should know about C University, right? It’s a prestigious institution in Capital City.

How could a student of C University do something so ruinous to their future?

The uniformed police officer looked at Zuo Lingxiang calmly, as if he hadn’t heard the words "C University," "Everyone who comes here claims they’ve been wronged."

Zuo Lingxiang’s expression began to crumble, "Officer Comrade, I really am not the accomplice of that thief, I don’t even know him!"

The police officer glanced at Zuo Lingxiang, "But that old man insists that you are his accomplice!"

Zuo Lingxiang was so anxious she was nearly crying, "Officer Comrade, I’m really not any thief, I truly am a student at C University; if you don’t believe me, you can go to the school and investigate. How could I be an accomplice to that thief? I have truly been wronged."

The police officer stood up and walked out, saying with fairness, "Rest assured, we will investigate the truth of the matter. We will certainly not wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person get away."

Seeing the police officer leave, Zuo Lingxiang stood up excitedly, "When can I leave here then?"

"After we’ve ascertained the truth, you will naturally be allowed to leave. However, until then, you may need to endure staying here for a while," he replied, then turned away and left.

Watching the officer’s retreating figure, Zuo Lingxiang’s face gradually twisted. The taste of being wrongfully accused was truly unbearable!

It was all Chu Jin’s fault! She clearly knew I was innocent yet refused to prove it for me.

Such a vicious woman.

How coincidental it was to encounter Chu Jin at the hospital. Maybe it was a trap that the malicious woman had set up in advance.

Once I get out, I must expose this woman’s true nature to Mr. Mo.

Why should such a vicious woman stand beside Mr. Mo!

**

In the hospital.

When Mr. Mo returned, he found that the person who should have been sitting there was nowhere to be seen.

He sighed softly, lifting his hand to press on his temples.

Truly a cause for constant worry.

He took out his phone from his pocket, about to make a call, when his shoulder was suddenly tapped.

Turning around, he fell into a pair of peach blossom eyes shimmering with light.

"Where did you go?" Mr. Mo raised his hand to rub her head, his eyes, previously cold, softened slightly.

"Have you been waiting long? I just went to the restroom," Chu Jin subconsciously hid the recent events.

It was not something worth showing off, after all.

"Let’s go," Mo Zhixuan said, taking her hand and heading in the direction of the surgical department.

The surgeon was a very responsible middle-aged woman.

As she cleaned the wound on Chu Jin’s face with a cotton swab, she fixed a stern look on Mo Zhixuan, who stood behind her, "I really don’t understand what’s wrong with some parents! How could you hit a child like this! If you had been even slightly heavier-handed, it could have led to deafness!"

"Doctor, you’ve misunderstood," Chu Jin began to explain, "It wasn’t him..."

Chu Jin was cut off mid-sentence by the doctor’s hurried interjection, "Young lady, don’t be afraid! I’m here for you; I will ensure justice is served!"

Listened to the doctor’s words.

In Mo Zhixuan’s eyes, a thread of dark ink unfolded, his powerful aura reined in as he looked at the doctor and spoke slowly, "Is her injury severe?"

The doctor glanced at him and responded irritably, "Of course, it’s severe! Didn’t you see how swollen this girl’s face is? Can a girl’s face be hit indiscriminately? I don’t know how you manage to parent, hitting a child like this. If there are any lasting effects, you’ll regret it. You have no sense of responsibility..."

And so, the esteemed Mr. Mo, who always looked down at the world from high above, inexplicably received a scolding.

If there were others present, they definitely wouldn’t believe their eyes.

It was always Mr. Mo who scolded others, since when was it someone else’s turn to scold him?

Upon leaving the hospital, Chu Jin, seeing that Mr. Mo’s complexion wasn’t looking good, took the initiative to speak, "Why didn’t you explain just now?"

Clearly, this matter had nothing to do with him, yet he didn’t offer a word in his own defense throughout and let the doctor yell at him.

Mo Zhixuan’s expression was tightly drawn, "Explain what?"

"Explain that this whole thing has nothing to do with you. Are you stupid or what, to just take a scolding for no reason without even trying to defend yourself?"

Mo Zhixuan lowered his gaze to the top of her head, his icy eyes softening a bit, "What the doctor said just now wasn’t wrong, I bear the major responsibility for this matter, she was right to scold me."

Chu Jin froze for a moment, almost suspecting she was hearing things, and looked up at Mo Zhixuan, raising an eyebrow, "What nonsense is that? Did the scolding knock your senses out?"

Mo Zhixuan stopped walking, squared her shoulders, and looked at her seriously, "As your fiancé, I failed to fulfill the responsibilities I should have. I’m sorry for my negligence, for letting you suffer. It won’t happen again."

After speaking, he took her into his arms.

The doctor’s words just then echoed in his ears, and his thin lips curled up in an arc of displeasure, exuding a powerful and chilling aura all over.

In the depth of his profound phoenix eyes was a fierce and chilling coldness.

Whoever dared to touch his person would have to pay the price, no matter who they were.

At his words, Chu Jin was mildly shocked, her heart involuntarily skipping a few beats. The emotions that had stabilized came surging back tumultuously. She didn’t consider herself a sentimental person.

Yet at that moment, her nose felt a tad sour.

The sensation was strange, and his embrace was overly broad, giving a sense of security.

Her hands involuntarily tightened around his waist.

What echoed in her ears was the steady, powerful beat of his heart.

Each one as if stepping directly onto her heart.

In the sweltering summer heat, he brought her more than just a refreshing coolness, but an emotional anchor as well.

Feeling her response, Mr. Mo’s lips slightly curled up, his mood extremely good.

**

Goryeo Nation.

Inside a certain internationally renowned plastic surgery hospital.

In the inpatient department, within a luxurious VIP ward.

A middle-aged woman elegantly dressed sat by the bedside, holding a set of Tarot cards, her gaze deep.

Seeing the movement from the woman lying in the bed, she quickly put the Tarot cards on the nightstand, reaching out to help sit up the woman in bed.

Several days had passed, and the woman’s condition had improved greatly. The gauze wrapped around her head had also visibly thinned.

The plastic tube previously in her mouth was gone, revealing pale, bloodless lips.

One could tell the woman was still very weak, her vitality greatly drained.

"Mom, is that you?" Since her eyes were bandaged, she couldn’t see ahead and could only reach for the hand of the middle-aged woman by feel.

"It’s me," the middle-aged woman started slowly, her tone gentle, expressing concern, "Are you feeling better? Does your face still hurt?"

Relieved by her mother’s voice, the woman let out a breath, "As long as it’s you, I’m fine. I don’t hurt anymore. Have you spoken to the doctor? When can I have these bandages removed? When can I live like a normal person again?"

This kind of life was truly unbearable, surrounded every day only by the smell of disinfectant, unable to see, everything a white blur.

Because of her wounds, she could only eat liquid food every day, and she couldn’t even have enough to fill her stomach.

It felt like being in jail, even more miserable than imprisonment.

She didn’t want to endure this a second time.

The price for beauty was indeed too great.

"You still need a few more days before you can have the bandages removed," the middle-aged woman glanced at her daughter, then continued, "When the bandages are off, I will arrange for Doctor Zhao for the next step which is liposuction and height enhancement surgery."

"Height enhancement surgery?" The woman was visibly taken aback.

She knew of this surgery—limb lengthening through bone fracture, which carried great risks and could only add 2 to 5 centimeters in height.

It could also affect one’s ability to carry weight while walking in the future; and if not careful, it could result in joint stiffness, or even disability and paralysis.

The middle-aged woman noticed her daughter’s concerns and reassured, "You don’t have to worry, it’s just a minor invasive surgery without any dangerous elements. You’ve already gone through surgeries to shave your bones, to pad your chin, enhance your breasts, and raise your nose bridge—aren’t you afraid of a small height increase surgery?"
