Hearing the sound of the door opening, the person on the bed slowly raised his head. His listless eyes moved and he slowly glanced at Shen Hanyu. He was not surprised at all.

Shen Hanyu’s gaze fell on the man’s face. “It seems that Mr. Cui is seriously ill.” Cui Yi panted and said in a hoarse voice, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to see Mr. Cui,” Shen Hanyu said lightly.

“With my current status, I’m afraid I’d have nothing worth President Shen’s time.”

Cui Yi’s murky eyes flashed with a cold light. “The Ruan family is long gone, and I’m already a dying man. Why do you have to resort to insinuations in front of an open person, President Shen?”

Shen Hanyu smiled but did not respond. He glanced at Jian Zheng, who was standing beside him. Jian Zheng understood and immediately handed Cui Yi several photos.

In the photo was the scene of Sang Qianqian being imprisoned by Ruan Cheng in the small courtyard and Xie Shi’an visiting her.

The resolution was not very clear, but it was obvious that it was taken from the surveillance footage.

“Mr. Cui, you must be familiar with these photos,” Shen Hanyu said.

Cui Yi, of course, recognized them. He was slightly surprised. “Where did you get these, President Shen?”

“More than a month ago, these photos were sent to the Zhen family.”

Shen Hanyu said calmly, “I don’t know what the person behind the photo wants, but I think only Mr. Cui knows how the surveillance footage was leaked.”

Although Cui Yi was in prison, because of his special status and the fact that Shen Hanyu’s poisoning and coma were related to the Ruan family, the police intended to use him to further dig up the secrets of the Ruan family. Therefore, even after Ruan Cheng’s death, Cui Yi was not barred from visiting.

On the contrary, the police had been tracking every person who visited Cui Yi for a long time.

Even though the Ruan family had fallen, there were still loyal subordinates among them. After Ruan Cheng’s death, they had regarded Cui Yi as their backbone and had visited him many times.

Some of the people who came to visit were found guilty by the police and were imprisoned. They were punished by the law, but there were also some who had no obvious evidence of breaking the law and were still free.

It was not until Cui Yi suddenly fell seriously ill more than a month ago that he was transferred to this hospital for treatment. For the sake of his health, the police restricted his visitation rights and only allowed his immediate family members to visit him. Other than Cui Yi’s younger brother Cui Ke, even Xie Shi’an was not allowed to meet him.

Shen Hanyu had gone through a lot of trouble to meet the man.

“President Shen, you’re wrong. When Miss Sang lived in the small courtyard, I did arrange for someone to be in charge of monitoring her. However, when the Ruan family was in trouble, I was already serving my sentence in prison. I really don’t know who took the surveillance cameras and who sent pictures from the surveillance footage to them. You’re seeking the wrong person.”

After Cui Yi said that, he seemed to be exhausted. He moved his body with difficulty, and the bed creaked.

He took a deep breath and continued, “This matter should be a misunderstanding. Many people in the Ruan family lost their jobs and sources of income after the downfall. Perhaps some of them harbored hate toward President Chen because of what happened and sent those photos…”

“Cui Yi, think twice before you speak. We’ve already found the person who sent the photo. That person was your former subordinate, but when we found him, he was already dead.”

Jian Zheng, who had been silent all along, spoke coldly, “President Shen specially came to see you. You’d better know what’s going on and tell us everything about this plan and the intentions behind it. Otherwise, the consequences are not something you can control.”

Cui Yi tried to defend himself. “Even if that person is my subordinate, I’ve been in prison this whole time. I can’t control his actions…”

“My time and patience are limited.”

Shen Hanyu interrupted Cui Yi. “Mr. Cui, you should know very well that if it was just a misunderstanding, I wouldn’t have come to you.”

Cui Yi hissed, “But I really don’t know about this. Even if you ask me, I can’t provide any information.”

“That’s why I came to see you personally.”

Shen Hanyu’s tone was extremely indifferent, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression. “We’ve dealt with each other before, so you should know how I do things. You should also know that Sang Qianqian is my bottom line.”

“I don’t care what the purpose of the person behind this is, but I won’t tolerate anyone using my wife’s photo to stir up trouble.”

Cui Yi suddenly lifted his eyelids and stared at Shen Hanyu. “What do you mean?”

“Xie Shi’an is more or less involved in the photo incident,” Shen Hanyu laughed lightly. “He can’t absolve himself of the blame. Also, I’m sure you already know that the Ruan family’s third daughter has returned to the country. I wonder, is the second daughter still alive?”

Cui Yi’s pupils constricted slightly. “Young Master An and the Young Misses have nothing to do with this. President Shen, you should know very well that they are innocent.”

“My wife is also innocent.”

Shen Hanyu had no intention of staying any longer. “I’ll send someone to find you again,” he said casually. “That’s the deadline I’m giving you.”

His calm words made Cui Yi’s pale face turn paler.

Cui Yi was well aware of Shen Hanyu’s shrewdness.

He still remembered that when he first met the man in Ming City, he did not even consider him a worthy opponent.

Even when Shen Hanyu came to the capital and confronted the Ruan family, he and Ruan Cheng did not take it to heart.

However, what he thought was a sure-win confrontation ended up being a crushing defeat. In less than a year, he was imprisoned, Ruan Cheng died, and the Ruan family fell apart and completely declined.

All of this was Shen Hanyu’s doing, but he was able to escape unscathed!

He stared at Shen Hanyu’s figure as he turned around and left. His hand that was handcuffed to the bed’s railing grabbed the railing. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his breathing became rapid.

“Shen Hanyu, don’t do anything rash!”

Just as Shen Hanyu was about to reach the door of the ward, Cui Yi finally opened his mouth and said through gritted teeth, “Believe me, I really didn’t know about this. I really can’t tell you anything!”

“That’s a pity, Mr. Cui.”

Shen Hanyu had already stepped out of the ward by the time he finished speaking.

Cui Yi grabbed the railing tightly and panted heavily. His chest was making a terrible sound like bellows, and it was hard to tell whether it was due to anger or fear!

After a long time, he pulled out the IV tube in his hand, took out a pair of presbyopic glasses from under his pillow, and put them on. He struggled to get out of bed and went to the bathroom, then locked the door.

He took off his glasses and pressed something. A voice with a different tone came from the glasses.

“It’s not time yet. Cui Yi, you shouldn’t have taken the risk to call me.”

Cui Yi’s voice was extremely low. “Why did you send those surveillance photos to the Zhen family? Shen Hanyu highly regards his wife. Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble by provoking him like this?”

“Those photos are just a small gift for Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqan.”

The voice that had changed its form started to laugh. “Moreover, the person who gave the gift is dead. Shen Hanyu won’t be able to find anything..”
