Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1310: Jumping into the Yellow River cannot wash away your guilt.

People’s Hospital

When Wen Jin and Qin Mu arrived at the hospital, they happened to run into Gu Yan and Lu Zhiyan coming out together.

“Uncle Gu, Zhixing, how is the situation?”

Wen Jin and Qin Mu quickly approached, and Gu Yan turned back to glance at the hospital’s main entrance, signaling them to talk in the car.

The four of them walked to the parking lot, where Lu Zhiyan said, “Ah Jin, I have something else to attend to and must leave early. Director Gu will fill you in on the details. If there are any new clues, I’ll call you.”

“Where are you going?”

Wen Jin asked, puzzled.

“To the prison to see what’s happening,” Lu Zhiyan said calmly, frowning slightly.

Hearing that he was heading to the prison, Qin Mu knew it was to investigate Li En. He hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative, “I’ll go with you. Just now, Ah Jin and I were talking about asking you to check the situation there.”

“Yes, even though the special case team is also investigating, I still trust you more,” Wen Jin took on from Qin Mu’s words, telling Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, “Of course you do. If you didn’t trust me, why would I bother fighting to take on this case?”

Having heard Lu Zhiyan’s words, Gu Yan couldn’t help but smile, “Ah Jin is lucky to have a friend like Officer Lu. Since Ah Mu can help, go with Officer Lu. Ah Jin, get in my car.”

“Alright, Ah Mu, Zhixing, thank you for your hard work.”

Wen Jin gave Lu Zhiyan and Qin Mu a grateful smile, and they waved their hands and got into their car.

After Qin Mu and Lu Zhiyan’s car left, Gu Yan also instructed his driver to start the car, and he sat in the back with Wen Jin, “Ah Jin, the conditions of those two patients have stabilized, there is no need to worry about the hospital anymore. As for the families of the deceased, I have explained to them this afternoon. They have agreed to give us a few days. If it’s not the Wen Family’s fault, they will not be unreasonable.”

In the confined space of the car, Gu Yan’s voice was calm and gentle as he described the situation in the hospital.

A hint of emotion surfaced between Wen Jin’s brows, “Uncle Gu, thank you. Without you and Ah Kai, I would really have been unable to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River.”

“We’re family, no need for such formalities,” Gu Yan reprovingly glanced at him.

“Although there is no evidence now, at least they all believe my words, that the three patients were infected with bacteria, not because of your medications.”

“Uncle Gu, if the patients’ families believe us, does that mean we have a good chance of winning?” Wen Jin’s brows were knit lightly as he looked at Gu Yan.

He didn’t dare to have too much hope before the truth came to light.

“Fifty percent, at least. Now, the media and the patient’s families do not just believe the hospital’s side, pinning the problem on Wen’s Phamaceutical Factory’s drugs,” Gu Yan explained thoughtfully.

Wen Jin let out a sigh, “It’s just that this incident has affected the launch of the new drug, and I’m afraid it will have to be delayed for a while.”

“Is there a problem with the funding?” Gu Yan asked with concern.

“It was tight, but Mo Xiuchen lent me some money. There’s no problem now.” Wen Jin had invested a lot in the new drug, and with the accident, the drug’s launch was obstructed, yet production couldn’t stop.

“That’s good to hear. If you run into any difficulties, just tell me. I might not be a businessman, but I have some savings. I can give you some support,” Gu Yan offered.

Wen Jin cracked a slight smile, “I understand, Uncle Gu.”

“Right, have you had dinner yet?”

“Not yet, I’ve been at the Food and Drug Administration with Ah Mu this afternoon until now.” Wen Jin replied truthfully. It wasn’t just that he hadn’t eaten, Qin Mu hadn’t either.

With Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory in trouble, causing everyone to be busy and work hard alongside him, Wen Jin felt both moved and guilty.

Seeing his emotions, Gu Yan chuckled fondly and encouragingly patted him on the shoulder, “Ah Jin, whether in life or in business, nothing ever goes smoothly. The harder times are, the more you need to take care of yourself. You must be in good physical condition to have the energy to overcome difficulties.”

“I don’t have any intention of self-torture, it’s just been too busy to think of such things.”

“Ranran must be worried about you too. How about this, call Ranran and we’ll head to their place now. Have her prepare something to eat.”

Gu Yan suggested with a smile.

Wen Jin nodded, “Okay, I’ll call Ranran now.” Ranran went to the factory yesterday, and after arriving at the factory’s gate, she left again.

Afterward, she hadn’t called him again. Of course, Wen Jin knew Ranran wasn’t indifferent; she was afraid to interrupt his work and didn’t dare call him.

Thinking back to three years ago, how Ranran traded her own happiness for the normal operation of the Wen Family’s pharmaceuticals during difficult times, a firm resolve flashed through his eyes. Ranran, a delicate girl, had been able to support the factory on her own.

As a man, he absolutely couldn’t let the factory be destroyed under his watch.

Pulling out his cellphone, Wen Jin dialed Ranran’s number. After two rings, Wen Ran’s soft voice came through: “Brother.”

“Ranran, Uncle Gu and I are on our way to your place. We haven’t had dinner yet, please prepare some food, we’ll be there soon.”

“Ah, you and dad together? Just the two of you? What about Qin Mu, is he not with you?”

Wen Ran, having heard from Mo Xiuchen that Qin Mu had gone to the Food and Drug Administration with Wen Jin, asked an extra question.

“Ah Mu went off with Zhixing. Just prepare dinner for me and Uncle Gu, don’t make too much.”

Hearing Wen Ran’s voice, the gloom and darkest of Wen Jin’s expression dissipated like clouds and fog, leaving a gentle warmth to gather in his eyes.

After all, in this world, Ranran is his only kin.

“Alright.” Wen Ran agreed cheerfully on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up, Wen Jin turned to Gu Yan and asked with concern: “Uncle Gu, I remember Ah Kai mentioned yesterday that Dr. Brown was arriving in G City tonight, has he not arrived yet?”

“He has. He called me half an hour ago, the cause has been found. The next steps require police investigation, no need for him. He just got a call from a friend and went directly to F City.”

“I see.” Wen Jin smiled in realization.

“Yeah, if it weren’t for that, how could I accompany you to see Ranran? Dr. Brown’s schedule is very packed. Once he gets back from F City, I really must have a good chat with him.”

“Uncle Gu, I remember you saying this morning that the herb is extremely rare, growing on top of mountain valleys. I was wondering if it’s possible for that herb to be artificially cultivated?”

Gu Yan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: “It can’t be artificially cultivated. It’s an herb that’s very difficult to survive, only capable of growing on cliffs. Many years ago, my father accidentally obtained one. He tried to plant it at home, but it just lasted one night. By the next morning, when we woke up, it was dead.”

“If that’s the case, then we can confirm that the herb was picked from the cliffs.”
