52: Chapter 52 The situation is more serious

Immediately after, Wang Jincai took out the consumption records and all the surveillance footage of Lin Xueyao swiping the card.

It could prove that Lin Xueyao had spent public funds.

With this commotion, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Xu Yuanyuan looked at Song Yuan, her face full of worry, and she tapped his arm with her index finger, asking in a whisper,

"Boss, I still have some savings in my card. How about I transfer it to you first, and you can pay the money back?"

Song Yuan told her there was no need.

Li Lei and the others were also discussing in low voices,

"What's wrong with the Boss? Is he short on money lately?"

"Possibly, after all, starting a business requires capital."

"How about we brothers pool some money together and lend it to the Boss for an emergency?"

"That's a viable suggestion!"

...

Song Yuan looked at these brothers who were enthusiastically helping him raise money, and a warmth flowed through his heart.

"Officer, this matter has nothing to do with me. The money was spent by someone else, so find the person who spent it."

Wang Jincai scoffed,

"Song Yuan, you are truly shameless, trying to completely distance yourself. What's the difference between you spending it and your wife spending it?"

Song Yuan was so angry he laughed,

"You know who my wife is, and you're spouting nonsense?"

Song Yuan took out his marriage certificate and showed it to the police,

"Officer, this is my wife. The person in the video has no relation to me whatsoever. You can look at our marriage date. Before that card was swiped, I had already registered our marriage with Ms. Gu.

The dispute in this matter has nothing to do with me."

The police carefully checked the dates, and indeed, Song Yuan's marriage was earlier, and the woman he married was not the one in the video. This matter was completely unrelated to Song Yuan.

"Mr. Wang, please clarify things before calling the police. Don't waste police resources!"

Wang Jincai looked bewildered. What?

Song Yuan's wife isn't Lin Xueyao?

He clearly saw Song Yuan taking Lin Xueyao to eat hotpot downstairs at the Tianyu Company building not long ago. How could his wife change in just over ten days?

"Police, he's committed bigamy!"

Song Yuan was so angry he laughed. Wang Jincai had already lost it and started biting randomly.

"Officer, I am a law-abiding citizen. I act upright and can accept any investigation."

The two police officers realized this was a farce.

"Mr. Wang, do you know the consequences of making a false report? Disturbing public order is punishable by detention of five to ten days and a fine of five hundred."

Wang Jincai saw that he was in trouble, and quickly lowered his head to apologize,

"Sorry, Officer, I didn't clarify this matter. It wasn't intentional, not intentional..."

Wang Jincai voluntarily withdrew from Song Yuan's Tianyu Company, and the office finally quieted down.

Wang Jincai admitted his mistake with a good attitude, and the police only fined him five hundred yuan, without detention.

As soon as the police left, Wang Jincai called Lin Xueyao!

The two hundred thousand that was swiped, he originally intended to frame Song Yuan for it, but he had no idea that their relationship had changed. He had to get this money back, otherwise, he would have to make up for it himself.

It was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead. He felt like Song Yuan was subtly playing tricks on him, but he had no evidence.

Now he truly hated Song Yuan, but he couldn't do anything about him.

Wang Jincai gritted his teeth!

The call connected.

"Lin Xueyao, the card with two hundred thousand that I gave you some time ago was a mistake by the Tianyu Company. You need to return the money today, otherwise, our lawyer will speak with you!"

At that moment, Lin Xueyao was lying on a hospital bed. She had over-exhausted herself these past few days and suffered from gastroenteritis, losing a whole circle of weight.

Hearing Wang Jincai's words, she was stunned for a moment,

"Return the money? Wasn't that a bonus from the Tianyu Company for outstanding family members? Why do I have to return it?"

"You also said it was for outstanding family members. May I ask whose family member you are?"

Lin Xueyao blurted out,

"I'm Song Yuan's family member, right?"

"Miss Lin, I suspect you are involved in fraud. As far as I know, Song Yuan's wife is someone else. What kind of family member are you?"

Those words pierced Lin Xueyao's heart, causing a sharp pain, and her emotions, which had just slightly eased, collapsed once again.

"Did Song Yuan tell you to come and ask for the money?"

Wang Jincai spoke nonsense,

"Yes."

Lin Xueyao took a deep breath, still feeling a bit suffocated. She had witnessed the cold-hearted side of a man, so cruel that she couldn't imagine it.

"Then you tell him to come and talk!"

"Miss Lin, I am merely informing you, not here to listen to your conditions. If I don't see this money today, next time it will be the Tianyu Company's lawyer speaking with you. Please be mentally prepared!"

Lin Xueyao hung up the phone and leaned back, no longer knowing how to write the word 'regret'.

She thought of the bags in her closet; those were the last memories Song Yuan had left her.

Now, Wang Jincai was asking her to return the money, which she definitely couldn't. And Song Yuan would no longer fill her financial holes. Was she going to have to sell her bags to pay back the money?

Those bags were her lifeblood; she couldn't bear to part with a single one.

Qiao Xi saw her expression was off and asked,

"Yaoyao, what's wrong? Is something else going on with Song Yuan?"

Lin Xueyao's voice was weak,

"Song Yuan wants me to return the two hundred thousand I swiped earlier."

Qiao Xi scoffed,

"See? I told you this man was no good. You see a person's true character when you break up. Yaoyao, can you promise me one thing: never go back to Song Yuan? You really shouldn't go to him!"

Lin Xueyao's eyes were hollow,

"What's the use of me going to him? Do you think he would pay attention to me if I went to him?"

On the other side, Song Yuan's eyelids had been twitching all morning. In the afternoon, as he was leading a meeting with several technical employees, his father's call came in.

"Song Yuan, your mother is in the hospital, and her condition is not good. If you're not too busy with work, come over."

Song Yuan's mind buzzed. He suddenly remembered when he went home before getting married, his mother looked unwell, and when he asked, she said it was just a minor ailment.

It turned out she had been enduring it, waiting for him to get married before going to the hospital for a check-up.

He dropped all his work and rushed to the hospital. Tao Yulian had just finished a series of examinations, and Song Heng was helping her sit on a long bench outside the consultation room.

Song Yuan went directly inside to speak with the doctor,

"Doctor, what's my mother's condition?"

"This lady's preliminary diagnosis is uremia. The situation is quite serious. We recommend immediate hospitalization and finding a matching kidney source."

Song Yuan's throat constricted,

"Doctor, how long does one usually have to wait for a suitable kidney source?"

The doctor nodded,

"That's hard to say, it depends on luck. A month, three years, five years, or even never getting one are all possible. I can only make an appointment for your mother first. The current problem is that the hospital has no available beds and there's a waiting list. I can only submit her information for now."

"Then how many days does it usually take to get a bed?"

"It's hard to say. This is the most authoritative hospital for kidney disease in the country, and there are simply too many patients. It could be as fast as a week, or as slow as a month."

Song Yuan left the hospital with a face full of worry. Even at the fastest rate, getting a bed in a week, could his mother's current physical condition wait that long?

Song Yuan only regretted not studying medicine back then. Almost all his friends were in the computer field, and he had no resources in medicine.

As he walked out of the consultation room, Gu Shiyu's call came in.
