Chapter 144 Zheng's mother successfully committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.

Seeing this, the doctor and Nurse quickly stepped in to stop him. After all, this equipment was no joke; if he were allowed to slam into it at that speed, it was no exaggeration to say he would definitely get a concussion.

Zheng Tian slammed directly into the doctor's stomach. The doctor felt a surge of pain, but taking advantage of the opening, the two Nurse nearby quickly pinned him down. People who work as a Nurse in a Hospital must have no issues with their physical stamina; otherwise, they would never be able to handle such high-intensity work.

"Let me die, let me die."

Because he was paralyzed, Zheng Tian was easily restrained. Once held down, his tone was filled with desperation and exhaustion. At this moment, he no longer wanted to live. He felt that in his current situation, being dead would be far, far better than his current state.

Outside, Mrs. Zheng watched her eldest son become like this, and naturally, she felt terrible. At this point, she was already on the verge of a breakdown.

Just then, Mrs. Zheng's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the lawyer. Looking at the phone, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath and answered it.

"Lawyer, how is it?"

"Mrs. Zheng, the current situation is not optimistic. I just spoke with the police, and they have already discovered records of Mr. Zheng searching for car accidents on his phone. Furthermore, they proved through surveillance footage that on that day, Mr. Zheng intended to kill. Therefore, at present, their inclination is toward attempted murder. Although we will try to push for manslaughter, it is not guaranteed."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

"Then what do you suggest?"

"Mrs. Zheng, under these circumstances, I still suggest you communicate with Zheng Jie. If they decide to drop the appeal, there shouldn't be any major issues."

It still required communicating with Zheng Jie.

"Is this useful?"

"Of course it's useful. Chairman Zheng is now the president of the Zheng Group. It's no exaggeration to say that Chairman Zheng's personal influence in this country is immense. In this situation, if the other party is willing to drop the appeal, it should allow Mr. Zheng to survive, or perhaps even avoid prosecution."

Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath.

Find Zheng Jie?

But if she went to Zheng Jie, he would most likely set conditions, and those conditions would undoubtedly be all the remaining assets of the Zheng family. However, Mrs. Zheng was too naive; this time, money wouldn't be enough to let Zheng Tian live, because Zheng Jie wanted Zheng Tian dead.

"Alright, I understand. Proceed with the defense as usual; I will communicate with Zheng Jie."

Mrs. Zheng sighed. She had no better options now and could only try to communicate with Zheng Jie; at the very least, she had to ensure her son survived.

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath and dialed Zheng Jie's number.

Zheng Jie was busy handling work at the Zheng Group. It couldn't be helped; he was now the Chairman of the Zheng Group, and there were simply too many things that needed his attention. Many people think that chairmen or wealthy people are very leisurely every day, but in reality, that is not the case. As long as one is serious about running a business, they will be very, very busy.

Indeed, most of Zheng Jie's time each day was spent handling work, holding meetings with officials, or discussing the next steps for investments. One could only say that if Zheng Tian were to handle these matters, given his nature, it was highly unlikely he would have built up the company.

Hearing the sound from his phone, Zheng Jie took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, and took a look. It was a call from Mrs. Zheng.

He answered.

"What is it?"

"I want to talk to you about Zheng Tian."

"There shouldn't be anything to talk about regarding this matter, right? Let the lawyers and police handle everything."

Zheng Jie's tone was calm.

"He is paralyzed now."

"Zheng Jie, I know you hate Zheng Tian, but his current state is already a form of punishment. Can you, can you please let it go? Just give him a way to live. Otherwise, if he enters the Prison in his current condition, he will definitely die."

Mrs. Zheng's voice was trembling. This was her eldest son, whom she valued more than her own life. She dared not imagine what she would feel if this son truly died. Hearing this, Zheng Jie frowned deeply.

"How about this? All the assets of the Zheng family—if there is anything you fancy, you can take it directly. We certainly won't say a word against it. How about that?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.

Mrs. Zheng had a misconception: she thought the Zheng family was important in the eyes of Zheng Jie. In reality, the assets under the Zheng family were truly insignificant to the current Zheng Jie. Any one of his companies, if taken out, was not something the current Zheng family could compare to. Thinking of this, Zheng Jie sighed.

"Are you saying you want me to let go of the person who tried to kill me? I think you are simply insane. If the person who died that day had been me, would you have done the same? No, you wouldn't. In your eyes, my life has always been insignificant."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng clenched her fists.

In truth, Mrs. Zheng really wanted to say that Zheng Tian tried to kill him because Zheng Jie had been too excessive in his actions. If he had chosen to give others a way out, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

However, Mrs. Zheng dared not say such things because she was worried—worried that if she said these things, nothing would be able to be changed.

"I... you are both my children, how could I..."

"Enough. These high-sounding words won't make me believe you; instead, they only make me find it laughable. We have already said that this matter will be handled by the police. We will not compromise. Otherwise, what would my employees think?"

"As for your money, I am truly not interested. Just take that money and go to hell."

Leaving behind these final words, Zheng Jie hung up the phone directly. Looking at the disconnected call, Mrs. Zheng's face was filled with helplessness.

She knew this would be the result. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng sighed helplessly. At this moment, she had become numb.

Ending the call, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

She sat on the chair now, not knowing what she was thinking. At this moment, Mrs. Zheng seemed to have aged countless years.

From the Hospital room not far away came the sound of her son's roar. Thinking again of her husband still in Prison, Mrs. Zheng suddenly felt that this life was truly meaningless.

If she could, she thought about whether she should just jump down; that way, she could truly be free and not have to face these troublesome matters. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng went to the window. In a Grade-A tertiary Hospital, these windows all had bars; it was impossible for anyone to jump out, because if such an incident really occurred, the relevant departments would have to bear responsibility.

In reality, Mrs. Zheng was already on the verge of a breakdown. Too many things had happened recently: her second son seized the Zheng Group and completely broke ties with the family; her husband was sent to Prison; as for her eldest son, he first got divorced, then became a eunuch, and finally ended up as a high-level paraplegic. More importantly, her eldest son was now very likely to be sentenced to death, which had pushed Mrs. Zheng to the brink of collapse.

It was normal; anyone who experienced these things would collapse, let alone a noblewoman like Mrs. Zheng who hadn't experienced many hardships herself. The fact that she had managed to hold on until now was already not easy.

After all, in Zheng Jie's initial prediction, he estimated that Mrs. Zheng would likely commit suicide after just a few days, but he didn't expect that she had actually managed to hold on until now.

While she was looking at the world outside the window, a voice suddenly came.

"Mrs. Zheng?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng turned her head. The person speaking was the doctor.

"Doctor, is there something wrong?"

"It's like this: your son's emotions are out of control, so we are preparing to administer a sedative to him. This is the informed consent form; please take a look."

Hearing the sounds coming from inside, Mrs. Zheng took the informed consent form. Without any hesitation, she signed her name on it directly and then handed the consent form back.

After looking at the signature, the staff member took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. Zheng in front of him. He could feel that Mrs. Zheng's emotional state was very wrong at this moment, so as a doctor, he offered one piece of advice.

"Mrs. Zheng, I know all of this is very troublesome for you right now."

"But I think... if possible, you should communicate with a Psychologist. After all, a person cannot keep things bottled up; it will lead to problems."

The doctor meant well, but Mrs. Zheng could no longer be saved. She just smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your advice."

Seeing that he had done what he could, the doctor didn't say anything more. Seeing that it was about time, he left. Watching his departing figure, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath, turned her head, and also left the place.

This time, Mrs. Zheng chose to return to the Villa.

The Villa was empty now; besides herself, there was no one else. Mrs. Zheng went to the bedroom and took out sleeping pills from the drawer nearby. Because she had been almost unable to sleep over the past period, she had purchased sleeping pills. Looking at these sleeping pills, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath; at this moment, she had made her decision.

After pouring out all the sleeping pills, there were nearly 100 of them. Consuming so many sleeping pills, as long as they weren't expired, would result in death 100% of the time.

Mrs. Zheng also knew what consuming these meant, but she really couldn't hold on anymore. Why did these things keep appearing in front of her one after another? Why did Zheng Jie treat Zheng Tian this way? Was it just because they were biased?

Of course, it was because they were biased.

In the past, the most important reason this family maintained peace was that Zheng Jie was willing to pretend and willing to compromise. But now, Zheng Jie didn't want to pretend anymore, so naturally, the peace of this family vanished into thin air.

Mrs. Zheng put all the sleeping pills into her mouth and swallowed them with water.

...

"What the hell, what is this person doing?"

Not far away, the person responsible for surveillance watched this scene with wide eyes.

"Suicide?"

"It should be. Notify the Chairman immediately."

Soon, the secretary rushed into the Chairman's office.

"Boss, just received news: Mrs. Zheng has committed suicide by taking sleeping pills."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie looked up.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, she is currently lying on the bed, in a coma. Do you think we should call the police?"

Zheng Jie shook his head.

"No need."

"Let nature take its course."

If Zheng Jie had chosen to call the police at this moment, perhaps Mrs. Zheng would not have ended up with that result. But why should Zheng Jie call the police? This was everything he wanted to see.

Regret novel? Only regret?

This time, he wanted these people to die.

They must all die in front of him.

He would not let a single one of them go.

Two hours later, when the maid returned with two children, they discovered Mrs. Zheng, who had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. Upon seeing this situation, they quickly dialed 120.

Half an hour later, the ambulance appeared at the entrance of the Villa.

Mrs. Zheng was rushed to the Hospital.

"What's the situation?"

"The patient committed suicide by taking sleeping pills, a whole bottle. Currently, her vital signs are weak; it's estimated that she is finished."

Hearing this, the doctor frowned.

"Immediately initiate..."

Just as the doctor hadn't finished his sentence, suddenly, a beeping sound came from the equipment. The moment they heard this sound, everyone's heart skipped a beat. They looked up at the equipment in front of them.

At this moment, the line detecting the heart rate on the equipment had disappeared. At this moment, everyone knew that this person was dead.

"Defibrillate."

The doctor said decisively.

Although the person no longer had a heartbeat, it didn't mean there was no chance to live. They quickly took action.

However, after several shocks, there was still no change.

This was also something that couldn't be helped; the time of discovery was too late. Moreover, in such a situation, even if she were saved, she would be a vegetable.

"Stop."

"Issue the death certificate."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then nodded. As it stood now, this was the only way.

A person's birth takes place in a Hospital, and a person's death, in all likelihood, also takes place in a Hospital. The Hospital is the beginning and the end of a person. It's just that at birth, you are welcomed by everyone's smiles, whereas at death, there is crying, and perhaps there isn't even a single relative by your side. This was the situation for Mrs. Zheng now.

Beside her were only the doctor and Nurse.

Her eldest son was in the ICU, her husband was in Prison, and her second son had completely broken ties with them. Thus, Mrs. Zheng's end could be considered pitiful.

And ten-plus minutes later, Zheng Jie received the news.

"Chairman, someone from the Hospital just reported that after resuscitation attempts..."

Zheng Jie heard this and looked up.

"Resuscitation failed; she died."
