Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Never Showed Up Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Never Showed Up Aunt Li hurried over to pull her away and shut the window.

“Madam, you shouldn’t stand in the draft, be careful not to catch a cold.”

“But I heard Ruan Tianling’s voice.”

“I didn’t hear anything.”

“There really was…” Jian Yufei raised her hand to her chest, her heart had heard it.

She heard Ruan Tianling angrily questioning her, why she had treated him that way…

Aunt Li helped her walk to the bed and sit down, “Madam, you’re just too worried about the young master. Once you’re better, let’s go see the young master, shall we?”

Jian Yufei’s eyes flickered and she felt very timid inside.

She dared not visit him; she had no face to visit him…

*****************

Activity buzzed throughout the Ruan Family, but no one was willing to protect Ruan Tianling.

Because the victim was no ordinary person, he was Xiao Lang, the CEO of Xiao Enterprises.

Xiao Lang had been missing for months, and now that he had been found, he was in such a state.

Moreover, when he was found, he was indeed in Ruan Tianling’s hands, and Ruan Tianling’s men were armed with guns. Just this fact alone could lead to a lawsuit against him.

Additionally, someone who bore a grudge against the Ruan Family had secretly reported the matter up the chain of command.

The Ruan Family had not even had the chance to take action before many high-ranking officials above had already become aware of the incident… it even alarmed the central authorities.

In order not to cause panic among stockholders and unrest in A City, the incident was kept under wraps, known only to a very few people.

Nonetheless, people on the outside watched and waited, especially those who had long wished for the Ruan Family’s downfall. They would most certainly kick the family while it was down at the critical moment, doing everything possible to completely ruin the Ruan Family.

Additionally, Xiao Lang’s mental clarity had yet to return.

He could not hear, see anything, nor could he speak; he could not name the person who plotted against him.

And the testimony of Xiao Lang’s personal bodyguard, Di Sheng, made the situation even more unfavorable for Ruan Tianling.

Ruan Tianling argued that Xiao Lang’s disappearance and poisoning had nothing to do with him, yet Xiao Lang was found in his custody.

He could not reveal the relationship between Xiao Lang and Chou Yinbo.

Because that would involve the outside of the church where shootings and explosions had occurred, resulting in numerous deaths.

That case was one of the several mysterious cases in A City.

If it were to be dragged out, his charges would be even more serious, and it would involve Cu Haoyan and others.

Moreover, if Chou Yinbo’s case were brought up, the explosion incident on Xiao Zibin’s ship at sea would also be called into question…

By then, the case would snowball into something much larger and become an uncontrollable mess.

…

Therefore, Ruan Tianling could not produce evidence to prove that Xiao Lang’s misfortune was not his doing, nor could he defend against the charge of illegal firearms possession.

At the first trial, he was sentenced to three years in prison and fined two million.

From the time Ruan Tianling was detained until the end of the first trial, Jian Yufei had not shown her face once.

She lay in the hospital every day, using her poor health as an excuse to avoid visiting Ruan Tianling.

Ruan Tianling would naturally file an appeal. He was detained in prison, waiting for the next court session.

Even if they couldn’t get him out immediately, the Ruan Family could use their connections to ensure he had a comfortable single cell.

Ruan Tianling lay on the bed, staring at the yellowed ceiling, expressionless.

During this time, he had never smiled; and if he did, it was a cold, warmthless smirk.

A gloomy aura emanated from him, ever-present.

Anyone who came near felt as though they were enveloped by dark clouds.

They all thought his bad mood was because of the case…
