Chapter 2686: Child, Do You Even Have a Heart?
Make soup? That was such a pain.
Professor Ai stared at Ning Shu. “It’s up to Cheng Fei whether he eats the soup or not. Whether you make the soup or not shows how much you care. Say, child, do you even have a heart?”
Ning Shu: …
What did he want her to do? Weep bitterly? Be all bewildered, not knowing what to do?
This guy was someone who wanted to hurt her, her not cremating him alive was already an act of mercy.
Amitabha…
Ning Shu changed the subject and asked, “What do you plan to do about Li Qiang? Will you sue him?”
Cases like Li Qiang’s were no longer considered ordinary civil cases, but criminal ones. Just because Professor Ai didn’t pursue the case didn’t mean that Li Qiang would get off without any consequences.
Just like Cheng Fei said, kidnapping was a felony.
Thinking of what Cheng Fei said, Ning Shu realized that Cheng Fei seemed to be well-versed in the law.
Sometimes, more than something to be obeyed, the law was something to be exploited.
If one made good use of the law, even if they committed a crime, they might get acquitted.
There was also a possibility that he had prepared these words in advance. If so, it meant that Cheng Fei knew that a kidnapping would happen. This would mean that he deliberately said those things in order to pressure Li Qiang.
If he didn’t know that there would be a kidnapping, then that meant he was able to casually rattle off legal provisions.
He even knew the possible sentences that Li Qiang could be given.
No matter what it was, it showed that Cheng Fei was not as simple as he looked.
Professor Ai, seeing Ning Shu in a daze, said, “Come with me to visit Cheng Fei later.”
Ning Shu finally came back to her senses. “Alright.”
Ning Shu took out her mobile phone and listened to the recording that she’d made.
She repeated what Cheng Fei said over and over again. Cheng Fei had deliberately provoked Li Qiang.
No one would like someone else looking down on them.
Furthermore, Li Qiang had low self-esteem and high self-importance. He was quiet and uncommunicative but had a huge ego.
His thesis was sent back more than ten times, but he didn’t ask the professor about what he did wrong and just stubbornly submitted similar results over and over again.
Ning Shu let out a deep breath. Cheng Fei ah, Cheng Fei…
Professor Ai had told Ning Shu to go to the hospital. However, Ning Shu had just returned from the hospital. She also didn’t want to see Cheng Fei at all.
How could a person be so attentive and affectionate, and kill their object of affection’s entire family, all at the same time?
The difference between the two was too extreme.
Ning Shu had terrible goosebumps.
“I’ll take care of Mom here. You should go,” Ning Shu said to Professor Ai.
Professor Ai remembered that his wife was probably still frightened from the incident, and acknowledged that it was indeed wise to have someone accompany her at home. He thus went alone.
Ning Shu cooked porridge for Mother Ai in the kitchen, but after she stirred for a while, her ladle suddenly stopped.
Ning Shu turned off the stove. She took off her apron and said to Mother Ai, “Mom, I’m going out for a bit. Don’t go out, okay?”
Ning Shu ran out of the house with her bag.
Ning Shu hammered her head. How could she be so stupid? How could she let Professor Ai go to see Cheng Fei alone?
It was very likely that Cheng Fei had deliberately planned Mother Ai’s kidnapping and pulled the strings to make it happen.
Ai Yun’s parents had a good impression of Cheng Fei. How could they possibly be wary of him?
Ning Shu hurried to the hospital and to Cheng Fei’s ward. When she got there, she found Cheng Fei sitting on the bed, talking to Professor Ai.
Seeing Ning Shu’s rushed appearance, Professor Ai quickly asked, “Did something happen to your mother?”
Ning Shu’s eyes whirled and she came up with something. “Yeah, Dad. Mom’s in pain all over right now, she wants you to go back and feed her.”
“Get a good rest,” Professor Ai said to Cheng Fei. “I’m going to head back and check on your mother-in-law.”
Cheng Fei immediately said, “Of course, Dad. You should go back. I’m fine.”
After Professor Ai left, Ning Shu and Cheng Fei were the only ones left in the ward.
Cheng Fei smiled at Ning Shu. “Why did you make Dad go? Do you have something to tell me?”
Ning Shu spread her hands. “Not really. Have you taken the CT scan? Is there anything wrong with your head?”
