Chapter 461: The Unjust Case Back Then
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Qianshu thought to herself, The casino was practically filled with City A’s second generation heirs.
This piece of news had spread rather quickly. Are you sure about that?
“Whose fault is this?” Ye Ling’s voice was stern.
“My fault!” Shen Qianshu admitted to it at that instant.
Little Tong Hua was lying at the side, feeling overjoyed. Looking at Ye Ling joke could really let him live a long life.
New Year’s was not here yet, but Zhong Ran had almost finished investigating the interpersonal relations of Tong Hua’s parents. His face looked serious as he reported his findings in the study room. Ye Ling was looking at a thin sheet of paper with his eyebrows tightly burrowed. “Are you certain?”
“Basically certain!” Zhong Ran said in a heavy voice. “Although they had died some years back and the evidence had been thoroughly destroyed, there is no way for the bank’s records to be erased. Their interpersonal relationships were very simple. They had good relations with others at the hospital, and everyone had praised them. It was absolutely impossible for them to have grudges with anyone. The most puzzling thing was that Doctor Shen had hardly contacted his old mother at home, and he also cut off all ties with his relatives.
“Back then, the records of their existence had been changed by someone, but the more it was meddled with, the clearer it became, and the more it would leave traces. Doctor Shen’s and Doctor Yang’s families were not considered well off, but after Tong Hua was born, he basically grew up in the intensive care ward. A day’s expenses would amount to 20,000 dollars, and it was particularly expensive. However, these two people did not blink an eye when they made payments. It was unlike their usual simple way of life. Hence, I followed this clue and investigated. Eventually, I was able to find out a bit of information. Basically, I could confirm that both husband and wife were people from Ghost City.”
Ye Ling knocked his fingers on the table. Ghost City wanted to arrange for two doctors in the hospital. This wasn’t strange. Every big hospital, government internal department, major court, financial institution, and anywhere within the system would have people from the Ghost City.
People infiltrating all walks of life. This was not surprising.
But if it was someone from Ghost City and both husband and wife had gotten into an accident and died, then there’s the possibility of it being murder.
Zhong Ran continued to talk. “Within half a year after Tong Hua was born, his medical fees amounted to three million. The medicine he used was all imported, and the expenses were not declared. With the two doctors’ salary and family property, it was impossible for them to bear the costs. They were bound to have a source of income. However, after my search, both husband and wife did not have other means of livelihood. There was only one house under their name, which was worth five million. They had paid off everything at once and did not apply for any loan from the bank. They also did not have any mortgage. The most puzzling thing is that they had bought a house and paid it in full with cash all at once. Tong Hua’s medical bills were also basically paid using American dollars.”
Ye Ling was in deep thought. “This is strange. Communication is so developed, and it is more convenient to transfer payments in every channel. Who would pay in cash?”
“Unless the origin of the money was not proper,” Zhong Ran said calmly.
Ye Ling’s face sank. “From your judgment, after Tong Hua was born, you’re saying that this husband and wife couple had used the identity of Ghost City and got into danger because of his medical bills? And this had invited a fatal disaster?”
“There was no way to check the details,” Zhong Ran said. “Someone had cleaned up the matter back then. They had also made a guess and thought that no one would go and investigate this pair of husband and wife doctors. I had used all channels and could only find a few traces. The evidence could not be found by looking at the surface of the evidence. However, Doctor Shen and Doctor Yang had bought a house once they got married. Hence, it should be before Tong Hua was born when they joined Ghost City. I had investigated Doctor Shen’s past. He was born into a poor family. When he was in secondary school, he had excellent results. There was a mysterious sponsor who supported him through university and his overseas studies for three years. It was the same for Doctor Yang. However, I could not find this sponsor. After both husband and wife died, this person disappeared without a trace.”
