Chapter 298 - Chapter 298 Chapter 297 Tell Me Your Choice

Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Tell Me Your Choice Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Tell Me Your Choice Ming Yao took out her laptop and asked for the woman’s home address.

She hacked into the surveillance of that area.

She saw Lei Dahai taking a little girl into a residential house.

Ming Yao made a call to Gu Siting.

“Don’t worry, your daughter will be brought over soon.”

In less than half an hour, Gu Siting came in through the back door with a little girl.

Seeing her daughter, the woman cried tears of joy.

“Doctor Ming, thank you for helping me. I can help you clarify things, but could you please send my daughter and me back to our hometown afterward?”

Ming Yao looked outside the Medicinal Hall at Lei Dahai who was still causing a commotion as if robbing heaven and earth, and said coldly, “You can live here with your daughter; he’s likely to end up in prison for a long time!”

The woman wiped the tears off her face, “He’s found someone powerful to back him up.”

“Don’t be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, no one can help him.”

The woman nodded.

Ming Yao walked with the woman to the main entrance.

Seeing the woman being led out by Ming Yao, Lei Dahai was uncontrollably angry, “What have you done to my wife? You killed my mother, and now you want to kill my wife too?”

With red-rimmed eyes, the woman glared at the man, “Lei Dahai, I am not your wife. If you hadn’t hidden my daughter away, I would never have lived with you!”

As she spoke, she looked toward the onlooking crowd, “Everyone, don’t be fooled by this man. His mother did have a terminal illness and wasn’t going to live long, but she didn’t die a natural death. He put something in the medicine he gave her–his mother died in agony!”

Seeing the woman telling the truth, Lei Dahai’s complexion turned ashen, and veins on his forehead pulsed, “You crazy woman, what are you talking about?”

Lei Dahai tried to rush forward to grab the woman, but before he could get close, the security guards from the Medicinal Hall pulled him away.

“Did she feed you some Enchanting Drug to make you spout nonsense and frame me?”

“I am not framing you. It was Doctor Zhang from Pinghe Hall who gave you one million to smear the Medicinal Hall!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd instantly erupted into outrage.

It was actually someone from Pinghe Hall who had plotted this?

“I don’t know anyone from Pinghe Hall. Keep talking nonsense, and I will tear up your mouth. Also, are you saying you don’t want to live with me anymore?” Lei Dahai’s eyes flashed with threat and warning.

Now that the woman had found her daughter, she wasn’t afraid of Lei Dahai’s threats at all.

“You racked up gambling debts you couldn’t pay, and were about to have your hands and feet chopped off. Then Doctor Zhang from Pinghe Hall found you and you two schemed together, targeting your sick elderly mother!”

“Lei Dahai, you’re going to be struck by lightning for this!”

Lei Dahai’s hands clenched into fists, knuckles cracking with tension.

“Wench, dare to say one more word and see what happens!”

“Doctor Ming has already called the police. They will be here soon to investigate. The residue of the medicine you gave to the old lady is still there. Once the police take it back for testing, the truth will come to light!”

Lei Dahai clearly hadn’t expected that the woman had seen everything he had done secretly.

He was panicking when the uniformed officers arrived.

As they detained Lei Dahai, he became visibly rattled and, out of the corner of his eye, saw Doctor Zhang in the crowd, “Doctor Zhang, please help me, it was you who checked on my mother and said she only had a few days left. That’s why I gave her the medicine you provided–”

Doctor Zhang, looking at Lei Dahai, who was as dumb as a pig, turned instantly pale.

Doctor Zhang tried to sneak away, but the surrounding crowd completely blocked him.

His actions had provoked public outrage.

“Pinghe Hall is truly despicable and shameless, doing such a sneaky and immoral thing when their business isn’t as good as the Medicinal Hall’s!”

Doctor Zhang was harshly denounced by the crowd.

Fearing for his life, he cried out for help, “Madam Zhou, save me, save me–”

Madam Zhou had initially hoped to see Medicinal Hall fall apart, but instead, she became the target of public animosity!

She closed the doors of Pinghe Hall, attempting to sneak away.

But the enraged onlookers dismantled the signboard of Pinghe Hall and kicked the main door open.

Madam Zhou was dragged out by her hair forcefully.

The police took Lei Dahai, Doctor Zhang, and Madam Zhou back to the police station.

Seeing Madam Zhou, pale-faced and with tears streaming down her face, being stuffed into the police car, Su Lan felt not the slightest sympathy.

Heaven’s wrath is bearable, but self-inflicted woes are not!

After bringing the little girl over, Gu Siting had been standing inside Medicinal Hall, watching Ming Yao.

She usually didn’t let him interfere with her affairs.

Watching her coolheadedness, intelligence, and decisiveness in the face of unexpected complications filled his deep eyes with tenderness and pride.

His woman was such an outstanding and excellent person.

Wherever she stood, she was like a dazzling pearl, shining brightly!

“Husband, thank you for today.”

Gu Siting held Ming Yao’s hand, “Why be courteous with your husband, can we go now?”

Ming Yao nodded, said goodbye to Su Lan, and then left Medicinal Hall with Gu Siting.

“I’ll take you to the new Western restaurant we just opened for dinner tonight.”

Ming Yao’s lips curved into a smile, “Okay.”

When the car stopped at the entrance of the Western restaurant, Ming Yao received a call from Jing Hang.

“Sister, the blood test results are a bit complicated; you need to come over in person.”

Ming Yao, who was about to get out of the car, paused slightly.

Her little hand gripping the phone tightened, “Even you can’t figure out the results?”

“There’s a toxin in the blood that I’ve never encountered before.”

Ming Yao’s heart clenched violently.

“Alright, I’ll be back tomorrow.”

Gu Siting had already gotten out of the car, but seeing that Ming Yao hadn’t followed, he walked to the passenger side and opened the door, “Little Yao, what are you doing?”

Ming Yao lifted her phone, “I just took a call.”

Though her emotions surged inside her, she didn’t show it on her face.

Ming Yao placed her hand in the man’s large palm and entered the Western restaurant with him.

After ordering their meal, Gu Siting handed Ming Yao several floor plans, “Which villa do you like?”

Ming Yao blinked, “Husband, are you buying another house?”

“We’ll be developing in the capital soon, and I’m planning to buy a villa there. Will you come with me?” he said, his dark eyes intensely focused on her.

If she was willing to go with him, then her choice would be clear and unequivocal.

Ming Yao lowered her eyelashes, and her rosy lips parted slightly.

“Husband, I have a business trip tomorrow, and I won’t be back for a few days. Can I choose when I get back?”

Hearing her respond like this, a faint sense of disappointment spread through Gu Siting’s heart.

But he believed that after spending time together, she had developed some feelings for him.

He wasn’t sure if she had fallen in love with him, but she certainly liked him.

Back at Imperial Garden, Ming Yao took a shower first, then it was Gu Siting’s turn.

Ming Yao, dressed in a champagne gold silk nightgown, sat at the vanity holding Little Snowball.

She took out the bottle of medicine from the drawer; recently, she hadn’t taken any of the pills inside.

It seemed that not taking the medication wasn’t as hard to accept and painful as before.

Ming Yao was about to throw the medicine away when the bathroom door slid open.
