Capítulo 904: Chapter 543: Sudden Crisis: A Vicious Framing

You Shenming’s hands and feet were trembling, his survival instinct telling him to run quickly.

Go abroad… Yes, he must leave the country immediately!

But as soon as he turned away from this dead-end, he bumped straight into someone…

Frightened, his soul seemed to leave his body, his face turned ghostly pale, filled with horror.

“Y-you…”

“I saw everything.”

You Shenming staggered backward, and if it weren’t for the wall behind him, he would have fallen.

It’s over, completely over!

This person was Tang Wan, a friend of Shen Shuci and the others; he had met her before when visiting the sick.

But she suddenly flashed a smile and said:

“Young Master You, I can help you clear your name.”

“W-what?” You Shenming was stunned, thinking she wasn’t Tang Wan’s friend, yet she said she’d help him?

“Come with me.”

You Shenming stood frozen, not daring to move. He didn’t know the person in front of him and was afraid to leave with her recklessly; all he thought about was escaping abroad.

“If you don’t leave now, the police will definitely be here soon.”

Just hearing the word “police” snapped You Shenming back to reality, and he immediately followed her, leaving through a side emergency exit without encountering anyone.

“Y-you’re not Tang Wan’s friend, and you want to help me?”

“I want to be friends with her, but maybe she doesn’t see me that way.”

“That group’s indeed snobbish, but how will you help me? The damn police are already coming and will find me soon!”

“Just find someone else to take the blame, isn’t that easier?”

“You make it sound easy. The old man is dead, there’s no breathing, it’s murder damn it, who would agree to take the fall for me?” Although money can do a lot, finding someone to take the blame for murder wasn’t an easy task.

“Then leave no witnesses, find a scapegoat, it’s even easier.”

“You’ve been babbling for so long, what the hell are you actually saying?” You Shenming was utterly confused, his mind in turmoil, legs weak and feeling lightheaded, ready to faint at any moment.

“I don’t know if you heard… but due to issues with the Shen Family elders’ inheritance distribution, Tang Wan and Shen Shuci had had disputes with them, reportedly quite fierce.”

…

You Shenming’s eyes widened, looking at her, his whole body cold.

Framing?

Does it need to be that ruthless? Yet, thinking of all the recent events, You Shenming suddenly felt this proposal wasn’t bad.

Elsewhere

When Jiang Jinsang arrived at the emergency room, the emergency doctor was performing urgent measures on Elder Shen. Zhou Zhongqing also rushed over, quickly communicating with the doctor, “The patient’s intracranial pressure is too low, call Director Xia from neurosurgery and send him directly to the operating room.”

“I’ll make the arrangements.”

The entire emergency room was bustling, Tang Wan and the others could only stand aside anxiously. Particularly, Elder Shen’s wife, who arrived in a panic, her eyes already red from worry, had a poor heart condition and nearly fainted from the breathlessness.

As Elder Shen was sent to the operating room, Jiang Cuo hurried in, “Grandpa—”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Jinsang frowned, what was he doing running around at a time like this?

Jiang Cuo leaned in to whisper, “There are rumors in the hospital…”

“Everyone knows the elders are hiring a lawyer to split the inheritance after discharge, it’s said our lady was unhappy about it, there was a quarrel before, so this time…”

“The dispute was too intense, and it caused the old man to…”

Jiang Jinsang’s pupils contracted, “Find out who spread the rumors.”

“I’m already looking into it, but…,” Jiang Cuo’s voice paused, “similar news has already appeared online, and the police are coming soon, I’m afraid this matter… will be very tricky.”

At that time, everyone’s focus was solely on Elder Shen, within those short ten minutes…

The news of Tang Wan allegedly harming Elder Shen had spread throughout the Beijing circle.

Jiang Jinsang’s fingers clenched abruptly, “Investigate this thoroughly for me.”

His tone was somber and hard, a coldly menacing mood Jiang Cuo hadn’t seen in a while.
