Chapter 33: Be Careful

“There is astragalus in the tonic. The main reason for my grandmother’s poor health is that there is a problem with her liver function. If she takes it for a long time, it would be equivalent to suicide.”

“Nonsense!”

John reprimanded her angrily. His eyes swept over Lauren as if he was going to kill her.

Lauren ignored him. “You will know if it were nonsense after you take it and test it. Moreover, the ingredients in the scented candle can easily make people dizzy. My Grandma also has high blood pressure. If these two ingredients are mixed for a long time, what else could it be but eventual death?”

“Take it and test it. Do you mean that someone wants to deliberately murder your grandmother?” One of the police officers turned and ordered his colleagues after hearing Lauren’s words.

Lauren nodded. “This is not suspicion, this is a certainty. Before my grandmother’s accident, I asked her to stop using these two things. Her body was originally fine, but why did she suddenly have an accident? Moreover, she’s still in the ICU.”

“I bought the tonic for your grandmother to nourish her body. I also asked someone to buy the scented candles for your grandmother so that she could sleep peacefully. Lauren, in order to seize the Lu family’s property, you dare to slander me like this?” John was furious.

To others, this might seem like anger after being framed, but to Lauren, this was just John’s anger from the embarrassment and panic.

There was more than one bottle of tonic and more than one scented candle in Grandma’s room. Every single one of them contained it. What did this mean?

If it was not for someone’s intentional arrangement, which famous doctor would be willing to give up the reputation that they had worked so hard to build up?

The police were confused.

At first, the police report was about their parents being beaten up. Lauren had just mentioned that Grandma was being harmed, and now the family property was involved.

“Let’s all go back to the police station.”

Just like that, other than Sue who was in the hospital, all the members of the Lu family were brought to the police station by the police.

Yu Chen immediately informed Xiao Ye of the situation. “President, Madam has been brought to the police station.”

“Go to the police station.”

Xiao Ye opened his mouth without the slightest hesitation.

Meanwhile, on Lauren’s side, every word she said was accusing John and Shilla. She was not a member of the Lu family anyway, and she had never been treated with sincerity.

There was no need for her to leave them a way out. If things got out of hand, Shilla would have to compensate her a sum of money. This was the best opportunity to return the 200 million and draw a clear line with Xiao Ye.

But how could this be as easy as Lauren thought?

If this was purely an internal conflict within the Lu family, it would be easy to resolve. However, this also involved the Xiao family and Master’s status as an ex-high-ranking military officer.

The trade of 200 million fell through, and Lauren was released a step earlier than Shilla and John.

Lauren did not notice Xiao Ye and did not think too much about it and did not think about leaving immediately either. Instead, she chose to continue to accuse Shilla and John.

Until Xiao Ye called her name!

Turning around, Xiao Ye wheeled his wheelchair to her.

Seeing his tightly pursed lips, Lauren immediately understood.

“I won’t be grateful for your help.” Lauren was very direct.

“I don’t ask for your gratitude, but as a member of the Xiao family, I can’t just stand by and watch you die and let you humiliate the Xiao family,” Xiao Ye said coldly.

He tilted his chin slightly, and Lauren understood what he meant.

How could she follow him now?

“The matter hasn’t been settled yet. I can’t go with you.” Back then, she did not throw away the scented candles and the tonic because she wanted to find the murderer of Grandma.

Now that Grandma was in the ICU, other than the people around her who had the opportunity to make a move, there was no one else.

If John and Shilla could do such a crazy thing, then they should be punished!

“The police are already in the process of identifying the two items you gave. If anything is related to them, the police will not let them off.”

“Lauren, are you listening to me when I’m speaking to you?” Seeing that Lauren did not react, Xiao Ye frowned and looked unhappy.

Lauren already had an idea in her mind. She left Xiao Ye behind and went to find the police officer-in-charge of this case. She repeated it.

If she were K, she would have caused bloodshed here. Unfortunately, she did not have any weapons at the moment.

Moreover, she was already at the police station, so she could only beg them to do something.

“Be careful!”

Xiao Ye suddenly shouted. He pulled Lauren, and then with a loud bang, the two of them fell heavily to the ground.

Lauren was at the bottom, and Xiao Ye’s wheelchair was still on top of him. For a while, Lauren could not push Xiao Ye away.

The sudden gunshot made the people in the police station on high alert. Lauren’s heart felt heavy. At that moment, she could feel Xiao Ye’s heart beating rapidly.

“Xiao Ye, if I died, you would be able to find another one easily.. Do you believe the words of the older generation?”
