He had thought Wang Jian had some powerful backing. Turns out his wife's maternal uncle was merely a small precinct chief in charge of that area.
Ye Chen had originally wondered whether Wang Jian's background was significant enough to warrant bringing Zhou Lie in. It seemed unnecessary now.
Ye Chen investigated the precinct chief thoroughly and found that he was indeed no good either. He had committed plenty of acts of favoritism, malpractice, and bribery, so Ye Chen directly filed an anonymous report against him.
After reporting him, Ye Chen also anonymously forwarded some of the dealings between the precinct chief and Wang Jian to Shao Yun and Xu Limin, hoping to help move Ye Xiaohui's case toward a verdict.
The next day.
Ye Chen and the others packed their luggage, preparing to return to Magic City.
Before leaving, Ye Chen was still worried about Ye Xiaohui. He decided to visit him at the hospital and make sure he was all right before returning to Magic City.
Ye Xiaohui's treatment would surely cost money, so he might as well settle the matter of buying the mountain with Ye Xing'an while he was at it.
With that in mind, Ye Chen called Ye Dalei and told him about it. He also brought along the mountain purchase agreement. Once it was signed, he would transfer the money for the mountain directly to Ye Xing'an for emergencies.
After finding out where Ye Xiaohui was hospitalized, Ye Chen went to the bank and withdrew some of the money for the mountain, placing it in an envelope. He then bought Ye Xiaohui a gift and a fruit basket before heading to the city hospital.
Inside the hospital ward.
Ye Xiaohui lay in the hospital bed, his head wrapped in gauze and his face pale.
