When he arrived at the hospital, Li WangJin was still dazed and focused on thinking about how to salvage his reputation. He was startled from those thoughts when he saw Wang SiXian’s face that was now destroyed by strong acid.
Her face was ferocious like that of a beast who was waving its claws and baring its fangs at him. That image was burned into his brain.
He quickly looked away and couldn’t look at Wang SiXian, who was still unconscious, any more. He asked Jiang YaGe in a low voice, “What happened to your aunt? Why would someone splash her with acid for no reason?”
Jiang YaGe had been crying for a while now. Sobbing, she recounted the incident at the parking garage to him. Looking at Li WangJin through her teary eyes, she said, “Dad, Aunty has been away from this country for dozens of years. Why would this happen to her right after she had returned?
“Was someone targeting us intentionally? But we have always been so nice to anyone and never made any enemies.” As though she had thought of something, she said. “Unless it was Mom… No, that can’t be. I trust that she isn’t that kind of a person.” Jiang YaGe immediately tried to save herself. Except her look didn’t reflect what she had said. It was obvious that she was suspicious of Fang JunRong.
Li WangJin knew very well in his mind. He shook his head. “It won’t be JunRong. She’s prideful and would never do such a thing. She wouldn’t stoop that low.”
He did, after all, know his ex-wife quite well. He suspected that the one who splashed Wang SiXian with acid was the same person as the one who had been causing him trouble lately. The thought of someone hiding in the dark trying to hurt him made his hair stand up.
Li WangJin stayed for a bit at the hospital. According to the doctor, Wang SiXian’s injury was not life-threatening. But the damage to her skin reached 5% and was relatively deep. Even after a few surgeries, she would not recover 100% and that damage to her look was inevitable.
Thinking about what the face that once resembled Wang SiEr looked like after the accident, Li WangJin felt that it was like bugs crawling all over a beautiful flower. His stomach roiled, and his mood was bad. He could only ask the doctor to do everything within his ability to treat Wang SiXian, regardless of cost.
After a period of time, Wang SiXian finally woke up and cried when she saw her appearance in the mirror.
Grabbing onto Li WangJin’s hand, she could no longer retain her usual tenderness. Screaming at the top of her lungs, she said, “WangJin, help me! I don’t want to live with this appearance!”
Her damaged face made Li WangJin’s stomach turn. He looked away and tried to free his hand from her grip. “I have the doctor arrange surgeries for you already.”
His look of disgust did not escape Wang SiXian. She was close to breaking down. The only thing that she has to rely on was her resemblance to her sister. But now that was all ruined. She had planned to touch Li WangJin with her tenderness so she could, one day, become the wife of the CEO of Ayron. Now it is all over!
Li WangJin’s attitude was the last straw on the camel’s back. “Was it Fang JunRong? How could she do that to me? That was so ruthless of her!”
Wang SiXian was, after all, related to Jiang YaGe.
Li WangJin sighed and said, “No, I don’t think it was JunRong. Why don’t you get some rest first? I promise I will find out who the culprit was.”
He wasn’t doing that just for them, but also for himself. Today, it was Wang SiXian who was splashed with acid, it could be him on another day. But Wang SiXian’s words had given him an idea.
“Let me go talk to JunRong first.”
Even though Fang JunRong might not be the one behind this but, if he talked to her nicely, she just might offer to help him look into this. He didn’t like it, but he must admit that he needed the Fang JunRong’s network in looking into this matter.
