Chapter 52

Case Closed

Xu Jiajia arrived at the attending doctor’s office. “Hello, I’m Ruan Jian’s cousin. My aunt said that as long as you approve, I can see him.”

This was a lie Xu Jiajia made up, but she knew it was the only way to get the doctor to let down his guard.

The attending doctor was surprised. “Who is your aunt?”

Xu Jiajia mentioned Ruan Jian’s mother’s name.

The attending doctor froze. Didn’t Madam Ruan say that only their family knew the truth? How did this person know?

Xu Jiajia didn’t give the doctor a chance to think. She quickly repeated everything Gua Gua had told her: “I know the truth. My cousin wants to send Hu Jun to prison. He deliberately…”

The hospital was busy and full of gossip, so the doctor immediately interrupted her: “Alright, I’ll take you in.”

She had already learned everything she needed to know, so she didn’t need to delay any longer.

Once inside the intensive care unit, Xu Jiajia saw Ruan Jian holding a banned book.

When Ruan Jian saw her enter, he froze for several seconds. After realizing who she was, he instinctively tried to hide the book under his pillow. However, Xu Jiajia spoke first: “I saw it.”

Ruan Jian panicked and asked, “Who are you?”

The attending doctor was startled: “Isn’t she your cousin?”

Ruan Jian sneered: “My cousin? How could I not recognize her?”

The doctor immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to slip away.

Xu Jiajia blocked his path and flashed her newly issued work ID: “I’m from the police.”

The attending doctor’s face turned pale with fear, but he quickly regained his composure: “Who are you investigating?”

Xu Jiajia smirked, her tone turning cold: “I’m investigating Ruan Jian’s injuries… and you.”

The doctor’s relief turned to panic: “I’m just a doctor. What… what’s there to investigate?”

Xu Jiajia stared at him impassively: “What’s going on with Ruan Jian? Are you going to tell me yourself, or do you want me to apply some… ‘persuasion’?”

The attending doctor thought he could keep the matter hidden, but he never expected it to be uncovered so quickly.

“I-I didn’t do anything. I just told a lie.”

Xu Jiajia’s eyes narrowed, her tone sharp: “Stop playing innocent. What you did has harmed another person.”

The doctor was stunned. He hadn’t known about this. Pointing at Ruan Jian, he said, “He… his parents said they just wanted him to rest for a couple more days. They never said it would harm anyone.”

The doctor felt betrayed by his friend.

Xu Jiajia didn’t say anything. She simply stared at the doctor, neither believing nor doubting his words.

The doctor felt his hair stand on end under her intense gaze. He instinctively took a few steps back: “I-I didn’t lie. Officer, my student was also present at the time. You can ask him.”

Ruan Jian heard the conversation and his heart sank. It had been discovered.

Xu Jiajia could clearly see the extent of Ruan Jian’s injuries. She walked over and coldly looked at him: “Are you walking on your own, or should I escort you?”

Caught red-handed, Ruan Jian didn’t have the chance to resist: “No, no, I’ll go with you.”

After hearing that Ruan Jian was fine, Hu Jun sighed in relief, then immediately began to berate him harshly.

In less than two days, Xu Jiajia had closed the case.

And she did it exceptionally well.

The deputy director couldn’t help but sigh: “As expected of someone favored by higher-ups, the ability to handle cases is impressive. Doesn’t look like a newbie at all. Liu Kui, Liu Kui, if you don’t start working harder, she’s going to overtake you.”

Liu Kui: “…”

Wasn’t he working hard enough?

He had almost devoted all his time to work!

The people at the station were intimidated by Xu Jiajia’s efficiency, worried that she might surpass them. One by one, they started working harder.
