Chapter 216: Torturing that Cold Brother (22)
"Jiang Ningzhi was in a car accident."
Ji Cenzhou's brows were tightly knitted together.
Putting aside his complicated relationship with the Jiang family, just the fact that Jiang Ningzhi had a car accident on the way back from his home, it was reasonable for them to go and visit him.
"Let's go to the hospital together. Have you finished eating?" Ji Cenzhou turned to look at Jiang Yan beside him and asked with concern.
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he had almost finished eating, but then he looked worried and said, "I'm done, but brother, you haven't eaten a single bite yet."
Ji Cenzhou waved his hand nonchalantly, quickly walked to the sofa, picked up his coat and put it on, while responding:
"It's okay, I'll come back later and eat. It's cold outside, and you've got a fever. Remember to wear an extra coat and don't catch a cold again."
……
The two hurried to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, we saw that the lights in the corridor outside the operating room were pale and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.
At this time, Jiang Ningzhi is still receiving emergency treatment in the operating room and is still in danger.
After asking the doctor about his condition, we learned that Jiang Ningzhi was currently experiencing symptoms of severe bleeding. Coupled with the huge shock caused by the sudden car accident, his already fragile heart condition deteriorated rapidly.
The degree of exhaustion became increasingly serious, and at one point there was even a critical situation of shock.
The patient's life was once hanging by a thread.
The Jiang couple were standing outside the operating room at this moment, looking haggard and solemn.
Ji Cenzhou's gaze passed over them inadvertently.
But at that moment, he seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and suddenly fixed his gaze firmly on Jiang Yan.
He stared at Jiang Yan, his eyes revealing a hint of indescribable doubt. Then, he quickly glanced at Jiang's father standing next to him.
When they first met at the Jiang family, Jiang Yan always followed behind Jiang's mother, and he didn't notice anything unusual at that time.
However, when he looked at it again with a scrutinizing gaze, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
The more he looked at Jiang Yan's face, the more he felt that it seemed inexplicably familiar.
Ji Cenzhou suddenly found the source of that familiar feeling.
It turned out that Jiang Yan, who was in the same room with Jiang's father at this moment, had facial features that were surprisingly similar to Jiang's father.
Jiang Yan had almost the same facial contours as his father. Whether it was his forehead, cheekbones or chin, they all looked like works carefully carved by the same skilled craftsman.
Not only that, his bright eyes and eyebrows look just like Jiang's father, as if copied and pasted.
Looking at the lips again, they are surprisingly similar to Jiang's mother.
With just one glance, others can easily see the close blood relationship between them.
An almost absurd and unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through Ji Cenzhou's mind.
This thought was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, startling him.
He slowly lowered his eyes, reached out to pick up the mobile phone beside him, and quickly and decisively sent a message to his secretary.
The content of the message was concise and clear: immediately investigate the previous physical examination reports of Jiang's father and mother, especially to find out what blood type they both had.
Time passed minute by minute, and when Jiang Ningzhi was finally pushed out of the operating room, three full hours had passed.
After the medical staff's all-out rescue efforts, she temporarily escaped the threat of death and was out of danger, but the situation was still not optimistic and could only be considered barely stable.
What's worse is that due to the trauma during the operation and the severity of the illness itself, Jiang Ningzhi's heart was severely damaged.
Doctors said that if a matching and suitable heart for transplantation cannot be found within the next two months, Jiang Ningzhi's life may be coming to an end.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang's father's face instantly became extremely gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds.
Almost at the same time, the Jiang couple turned their gaze to Jiang Yan, who was standing not far away. Their eyes were full of resentment and hatred, like two sharp daggers piercing Jiang Yan directly.
Jiang Yan suddenly felt an indescribable chill surging through his body, and the chill gave him goose bumps involuntarily.
He subconsciously moved closer to Ji Cenzhou beside him, as if this could bring him some warmth and security.
Then he looked up, but I noticed nothing.
The Jiang couple quickly retracted their terrifying gaze and focused all their attention on Jiang Ningzhi, who had just been sent out.
Ji Cenzhou, who had been paying attention to Jiang Yan's every move, immediately noticed his uneasiness and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice: "No...it's okay. Maybe it's just my illusion."
Although he said this, he knew in his heart that the creepy feeling could not be groundless.
……
Ji Cenzhou's secretary showed extremely high work efficiency and sent him the report he needed in a short time.
When he saw the information displayed on the report, Ji Cenzhou couldn't help but frown -
Both Jiang's father and mother have type A blood. However, Jiang Ningzhi unexpectedly has type B blood.
It is well known that two parents with type A blood cannot conceive a child with type B blood no matter what.
Jiang Ningzhi is not the biological child of the Jiang couple.
Ji Cenzhou once again carefully considered Jiang Yan's face, which was quite similar to that of the Jiang couple, and the doubts in his heart became stronger.
So, he decided to further explore the truth, turned to Jiang Yan and asked for a few strands of hair, and rushed back to the Jiang family without stopping.
After a careless search, he finally found a long hair belonging to Jiang's mother in the spacious and bright living room of the Jiang family.
Holding these two crucial samples, Ji Cenzhou hurried to a professional institution to test their blood relationship.
And at this moment, in the Jiang family——
Jiang's mother was filled with worry as she thought of Jiang Ningzhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, pale and weak. Tears welled up in her eyes. She held her husband's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice:
"Ning Zhi's body can no longer support him. When can he undergo a heart transplant? I only have this one precious son. If I lose him, I really don't know what to do..."
"Ning Zhi is also my biological son. As a father, of course I am worried about him."
Father Jiang frowned tightly, and the lines on his forehead were like deep ravines.
He rubbed his hands anxiously and continued, "Fortunately, we've already prepared to invite that skilled doctor back home. We can arrange surgery for Ning Zhi next week at the latest. As long as the surgery is successful, our child will definitely be able to survive this difficult time."
Butler Li, who was standing aside, was already tearful at this time. He and the Jiang couple had always been in cahoots with each other and had done evil together.
Over the years, he has been behind almost every shameful and dirty thing done by the Jiang family, planning and fanning the flames.
Even Jiang Ningzhi's heart transplant plan was originally proposed by him. Butler Li hurriedly comforted him:
"I have watched Young Master Ning Zhi grow up since he was little. Madam, please don't be too sad and hurt yourself."
"Look, didn't the master just say that the surgery can be performed next week? Young Master Ning Zhi is a lucky man, and he will be safe and sound."
However, just as he lowered his head to wipe away his tears, a sinister glint flashed across his eyes imperceptibly.
To talk about this matter, we have to mention the day a few days ago when Ji Cenzhou took away Jiang's mother's hair from the Jiang family.
In fact, from beginning to end, Butler Li was secretly watching every movement closely.
He was full of vigilance and doubt about Ji Cenzhou's sudden action.
Especially since Jiang Yan and the Jiang couple looked so similar, it made people feel that this matter was of great significance.
He secretly thought that he had clearly abandoned this evil creature on the roadside with his own hands, but this evil creature was lucky enough not to die in the wilderness, but was still alive and well!
God is really blind...
Thinking of this, Butler Li couldn't help but clench his fists secretly, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
So, is Jiang Yan the Jiang couple's biological child in the true sense?
This question seems to be critical, but in fact it is irrelevant.
Even though Jiang Yan and the Jiang couple have a striking resemblance in appearance, he cannot escape death in the end.
After all, Butler Li, who had planned carefully for so long, would never allow anyone to ruin his plan, especially when his son finally had a chance to survive after going through so much hardship.
This determination is as solid as a rock and there is no possibility of it being shaken!
****
Time goes back many years.
It turned out that the wife of Jiang's housekeeper Li had given birth prematurely. What was even more coincidental was that her delivery date was exactly the same as Jiang's mother's.
Unfortunately, Butler Li's wife herself suffered from congenital heart disease. On that day, she was frightened by the Jiang family's vicious dog and went into labor prematurely.
Although she tried her best to give birth to the child, the baby was inevitably born with the mother's congenital heart disease. He was in critical condition and as fragile as a candle in the wind.
At the same time, Li Guanjia's wife also suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth and was extremely weak. She passed away not long after.
Faced with this sudden double blow, Butler Li was filled with endless hatred and resentment towards the Jiang family deep in his heart.
It happened that at that time, his wife and Jiang's mother were in the same hospital waiting to give birth. As the housekeeper of the Jiang family, he took advantage of the various convenient conditions brought by his job and quickly implemented a bold and insidious plan -
They secretly swapped the two newborns and successfully bribed the medical staff who were responsible for delivering Jiang's mother, thus perfectly covering up this shocking secret.
Under the pretext of taking care of his poor wife's affairs after her death, Butler Li hurriedly left the hospital with the switched child.
Along the way, he deliberately drove the car to the remote and uninhabited areas on the edge of the city, and then ruthlessly abandoned the baby, who knew nothing about the baby, on the cold ground by the roadside.
Then, he got into the car without looking back and drove away, as if what he had just discarded was not a living life, but just an insignificant item.
However, what Butler Li never expected was that Jiang Yan was not dead!
Fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. This tenacious little life was discovered and rescued by a kind-hearted passerby by some unknown means, and was taken back to an orphanage to be raised. He was even taken back to the Jiang family by some unknown means.
But when he saw the Jiang couple and their real biological child so close to each other but not knowing each other, an indescribable sense of satisfaction surged in Butler Li's heart.
He hid in the dark, secretly watching all this, secretly proud of the farce he directed.
……
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the paternity test report was out.
The speed is astonishing.
Early the next morning, Ji Cenzhou took the crucial report from the staff with a serious expression and held it tightly in his hands.
He took a deep breath, then slowly unfolded the report, his eyes fixed on the results column.
It clearly shows on it: the probability of biological birth is "99.98%".
The moment he saw this number, Ji Cenzhou unconsciously pursed his lips.
There is no doubt that Jiang Yan is indeed the Jiang family's biological child.
But, here comes the problem——
Who switched the two children, and how? Was it a deliberate act, or was it simply an accident?
If he couldn't thoroughly investigate the whole story, Ji Cenzhou would never be able to send Jiang Yan back to the Jiang family with peace of mind.
Because only when the truth comes to light can we ensure that similar tragedies will not happen again.
What's more, what if all this is man-made?
Ji Cenzhou thought to himself that if he rashly let Jiang Yan recognize the Jiang couple, and the baby swapping incident was completely exposed, those who were involved would probably become desperate and do everything they could to fight to the death.
In this way, not only will the truth be difficult to reveal to the world, it may even bring unexpected harm to Jiang Yan.
Thinking of this, Ji Cenzhou felt that this matter must be investigated more thoroughly and he must not act rashly. So, he temporarily buried this secret deep in his heart.
At this moment, the phone in Ji Cenzhou's hand suddenly began to vibrate violently again.
He took a deep breath, calmed his somewhat panicked mind, and pressed the answer button.
However, just by hearing the first sentence spoken by the other party, his expression instantly became extremely solemn.
"Okay, I understand." Ji Cenzhou responded to the person on the other end of the phone in a low and suppressed voice.
