Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Counterattack (Part 7)
Shu Jiao received the news while the family was having breakfast in the dining room.
Her eyes darkened slightly, then she glanced at Jiaojiao, who was having breakfast, nodded subtly, said "I understand, thank you," and hung up the phone.
Jiaojiao noticed her unusual expression and curiously asked, "Mom, whose call was that?"
"No one’s," Shu Jiao replied indifferently, observing her expression. "Jiaojiao, do you feel unwell anywhere? How about staying home to rest for another day?"
Jiaojiao shook her head.
Even if she were to die in the next second, she didn’t want to wait at home for death to come.
Seeing this, Shu Jiao didn’t say anything else.
After breakfast, Jiaojiao’s schoolbag was carried by Xiu Xi, with Yang Xiaona on one side and Xiu Xi on the other, heading to school.
Upon arriving at school, Lu Zishu immediately frowned, "Are you well already? How come you’re here for classes?"
Yesterday, Jiaojiao was so severely ill that it scared all of them. He thought she would rest at home for a while before coming, but he didn’t expect her to return to school so soon.
"I’m fine now. Do I look sick?" Jiaojiao smiled and asked back.
Lu Zishu carefully examined her complexion and saw that she looked radiant and energetic, indeed unlike someone who had been sick.
He couldn’t help feeling suspicious. She had just been in the emergency room and unconscious for a whole day yesterday. Could she really recover so quickly?
Jiaojiao paid no attention to his reaction and turned to study seriously.
Compared to when she first found out, Jiaojiao’s mindset had stabilized considerably. Despite being distressed, she knew that the people around her would be even more upset than she was, so she had to put on a brave face to keep them from worrying.
And this day passed steadily.
Until a week later, on Sunday afternoon.
The Yuan Family’s matter had a preliminary conclusion.
Some things, you never realize until you investigate, and once you do, it’s truly shocking.
As a Medical World Family, the Yuan Family had always left a positive impression, particularly the old lady Yuan, who was known for her philanthropy, holding free medical clinics every year to accumulate blessings for her prematurely deceased daughter.
But who knew these free clinics were just a means for her to find sacrifices.
Every year, she would select people whose birthdates matched with those of Yuan Manman and have them die in a way that no one would suspect, then steal their hearts for rituals.
In recent years, as the hospital grew larger with more branches, she changed her method and started stealing newborns’ hearts directly from the hospitals, making them die in the same inconspicuous way.
The hospital delivered numerous newborns every year, and life and death were common occurrences, so the death of a few newborns each year didn’t seem too suspicious.
Thus, after this investigation, the number of innocent lives lost at the hands of the Yuan Family likely numbered in the hundreds.
The news shocked the entire city and the whole nation.
No one expected that the Yuan Family, who had held scalpels for generations and should have been compassionate, would do something so heinous.
What Shu Jiao had investigated before was just the tip of the iceberg.
So, when she saw the news, she was also stunned. She didn’t expect the free clinics were just a sham.
The news was broadcasted directly on television, and everyone in the Ruan Family saw it. They all got goosebumps.
Ruan Jianguo, fearing Jiaojiao couldn’t handle it, immediately changed the channel and then started talking about unrelated topics.
