Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 193 Killing the Cuckoo (8)

The ambulance arrived quickly, and the medical staff worked together to lift Yan Zhen onto the stretcher.

As Yan Zhen, lying on the stretcher, drenched in cold sweat after leaving the supermarket, loosened her grip, and a thumb-sized stun gun silently slipped from her sleeve and fell to the ground.

Then, he was kicked into a sewer by passing medical staff and disappeared.

When Fang Yihe received the news and rushed to the hospital, Yan Zhen had already been taken to the emergency room.

The supermarket called the police, who are currently speaking with the supermarket manager and Li Tingyi in the corridor outside the emergency room.

Li Tingyi was clearly very agitated and kept refuting what the supermarket manager said. When he suddenly saw Fang Yihe, he felt like he had found someone to back him up and immediately pulled him over: "Yihe, you know me best. Tell them that I would never do such a thing."

Fang Yi patted him on the shoulder, a gesture meant to reassure him: "Don't worry."

Perhaps influenced by Fang Yihe's calm demeanor, or perhaps realizing that someone was on his side, Li Tingyi's emotions indeed calmed down considerably.

Fang Yihe began to understand what had happened from the supermarket manager.

Upon learning that Gao Li's water broke because Li Tingyi suddenly let go and she was hit by a four-kilogram box of bird's nest, his expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Li Tingyi.

Li Tingyi had felt much more at ease because of Fang Yihe's arrival, but now, as Fang Yihe tried his best to hide his surprise and astonishment, his heart skipped a beat.

Fang Yihe, like everyone else, thought he did it on purpose.

"How many times do I have to say it? My arm was pricked by something, and it was sore and painful that I couldn't put any weight on it, which is why the gift box fell down!" Li Tingyi's temper was about to flare up.

He found that Fang Yihe's suspicious gaze was more distressing than the inability to defend himself.

The supermarket manager took it as an excuse and lost his patience: "You keep saying you were pricked by something, but I don't see any wound on your arm."

Li Tingyi: "..."

That's what made him feel uneasy.

He was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I think I was electrocuted."

The supermarket manager sneered: "Are you trying to say that our supermarket is leaking electricity, or that the static electricity on the shelves is so strong that it could numb your hand? Or that a pregnant woman is risking being hit by a shock to have a premature birth by using a stun gun on you?"

Li Tingyi: "..."

"If that's your suspicion, then I welcome you to bring an electrician to check our supermarket's electrical wiring anytime!" the supermarket manager scoffed. "We have nothing to hide!"

The atmosphere was tense when a heart-wrenching scream came from the emergency room, drawing everyone's attention.

Fang Yihe immediately took a few steps toward the entrance of the emergency room.

Li Tingyi noticed his action, and his eyes darkened slightly.

Not long after, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor who had participated in the rescue came out. Fang Yihe hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"

"The mother is out of danger, and the baby... the baby's body has been delivered."

Fang Yi's heart skipped a beat.

His child... is gone?

Li Tingyi was also taken aback and panicked a little.

How could this be?

Wasn't Gao Li's pregnancy very stable? The fetus was already eight months along. Shouldn't she have been born naturally after falling? How could she have given birth to a stillborn baby?

Li Tingyi had a gut feeling that something was amiss, but he was so caught up in the panic that "the child is dead, and this matter is likely to escalate to a criminal matter" that he couldn't think calmly.

Just as he was at a loss, a group of people came running noisily from the end of the corridor. Li Tingyi and Fang Yi heard the commotion and turned around to look.

Fang's parents, Gao Li's parents, and his younger brother Gao Heng all came.

Mr. and Mrs. Fang ran ahead, and when they reached Fang Yi, they were still out of breath when they asked, "Where is our daughter-in-law?"

"How is Xiao Li? Why did she suddenly fall down?"

Fang Yi opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

Gao's parents arrived shortly afterward and, seeing the situation, urged, "Son-in-law, tell me, how is Xiao Li?"

Fang Yi then said, "The baby couldn't be saved."

The four old men and Gao Heng's expressions all changed.

"Where is the Lord?"

"Xiao Li is out of danger now."

Mr. and Mrs. Gao breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the adults were alright; they could have another child later.

Fang's parents still looked very serious. They pulled Fang Yihe aside and demanded, "Explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened?"

Fang Yihe did not want to answer the question in Li Tingyi's presence. He looked sad and tired and said, "I still need to make arrangements for Xiao Li's hospitalization. I will explain to you later."

Although Mr. and Mrs. Fang were eager to know the truth, they also knew that now was not the time to pry.

The two elders originally planned to put the matter aside and settle their daughter-in-law's hospitalization first, but when Fang's mother turned around and saw Li Tingyi standing to the side, her expression changed immediately.

"How will you be here?"

Li Tingyi: "..."

Fang's mother looked at Fang Yihe, then at Li Tingyi, and finally her gaze fell on the police officer who was still holding a body camera. She seemed to have made a connection to something, and her expression became even more unpleasant. She said, using Fang Yihe's full name, "Fang Yihe, come out with me."

Fang Yi was called outside by her mother, who asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, is Xiao Li's accident related to Li Tingyi?"

Fang Yi paused, then said, "Mom, I'll give you an explanation later, you..."

"Stop trying to smooth things over with me!" Fang's mother snapped. She had a short temper to begin with, and the thought of that terrible suspicion made her hands tremble. Her voice dropped even lower, "Has Xiao Li found out about your affair with Li Tingyi?"

"No!" Fang Yihe immediately denied.

"Then tell me, why was Li Tingyi at the hospital, and why were the police there too? Is Xiao Li's injury related to Li Tingyi?"

Faced with her mother's almost aggressive stance, Fang Yihe had no choice but to nod with difficulty.

The next moment, he received a slap across the face.

Fang's mother, at her wit's end, shouted: "I can't interfere with your sexual orientation, and I can't stop you from playing around behind Xiao Li's back, but haven't I told you Li Tingyi is no good? Did you even listen to me? Why are you still associating with him! He'll ruin you, do you know that?!"

Fang Yihe knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't argue, only saying, "I'll handle it."

Fang's mother asked, "What are you going to do? The police have already intervened!"

Fang Yihe had clearly already planned how to deal with it: "The Gao family is not difficult to handle. They have always trusted me and don't care much about Gao Li. If you give them some benefits, they won't pursue the matter. As for the police, I will issue a letter of understanding as a member of Gao Li's family and reconcile with Ting... Li Tingyi. That way, the matter can be suppressed."

Fang's mother quickly understood Fang Yihe's idea: as long as Gao Li was appeased and she stopped caring, the matter could be resolved peacefully.

"You're still protecting Li Tingyi!" Fang Ma said angrily. "Isn't this incident enough to show you his true colors?"
