Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Aunt June was still in the operating room, and no one knew if she was dead or alive.

Zhuang Liu looked at the door of the operating theater and asked, “Did the person inside do it?”

Tan Rou replied, “I saw her at the hospital last time. She was Xue Lin’s nanny and treated her very well. It’s just that I didn’t expect her to bring gasoline to school. The school’s security guards are blind. They didn’t even see such a big barrel of gasoline.”

Zhuang Liu’s heart was filled with anger. If he was not in the hospital now, he would rush in and drag that woman out.

“Should we wait for her to come out now?” Zhuang Liu did not have the patience to wait for the criminal to come out.

“No need.” Tan Rou shook her head. “I just wanted to see if she would still be alive. If she is, I have to ask her a few questions but she’s still in the midst of emergency treatment. We’re just wasting time here. Let’s go back and deal with my work first.”

Tan Rou was preparing to start a new research project today, but she couldn’t do it now. All the information had been destroyed by the fire. She had to wait until tomorrow to get the backup information from TR Company.

“Let me send you back.” Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou said, “Sure, this matter is directed at me. I’ve already told Principal Zhang that as soon as that woman wakes up, he’ll inform me immediately.”

“I’ll come with you,” Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou didn’t object, but she still told Zhuang Liu not to tell her family about this, or they would be worried.

Zhuang Liu liked the feeling of being completely trusted by Tan Rou. The two of them were the closest people in the world. Everyone else had to step aside.

Tan Rou had her considerations. Her parents were not young anymore. She could not tell them everything. Otherwise, they would be worried. She could tell some things to her brothers, but they had their personal affairs as well and would be separated in the future. After thinking about it, Tan Rou still felt that it was most appropriate to tell Zhuang Liu.

The two of them went home to wait for news. Tan Rou went to the hospital where Xue Lin was staying to look for Xue Lin, but the doctor said that Xue Lin didn’t have surgery and she left early. Tan Rou had to put aside the matter of settling scores with Xue Lin and patiently wait for Aunt June to wake up.

On the afternoon of the third day, Tan Rou received a message from Principal Zhang, saying that Aunt June had woken up and was very conscious. However, as soon as she woke up, she said that all the mistakes were her doing and that it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Tan Rou understood that Aunt June was going to protect Xue Lin with her life.

She and Zhuang Liu arrived at the hospital. Before they entered, they saw two police officers talking to the doctor at the door. It seemed that they wanted to go in, but the doctor did not let them in.

The police officer said, “This lady is an important suspect in an arson case. We have to go in and ask her some questions. Please move aside.”

The doctor said, “Her condition is still unstable. If you agitate her now, it will affect her recovery. So, you should wait until she recovers before coming back.”

The police refused to leave. The impact of this case was too bad. What happened in the school would always attract the attention of the public. They had to solve this case as soon as possible.

Tan Rou walked over, but the doctor stopped her as usual. “I’m sorry, but you’re not allowed to visit patients now. Please come back in a few days.”

“I’m the one she wants to burn to death,” Tan Rou said. “I need to know why she wants to burn me to death. Does she have any accomplices? If you don’t let me in, what if her accomplices come looking for me again?”

The doctor was in a difficult position. According to the hospital’s rules, they definitely could not let people in. However, the victim had already arrived, and the problem was very serious. If they stopped them and caused new crimes, their hospital could not afford it.

“Alright, only you can go in.” The doctor finally compromised.

Zhuang Liu disagreed. “I’m her husband, so I have to go in with her.”

“Alright then!” The doctor compromised again.

This time, the police were unhappy. Why couldn’t they enter when they were handling a normal case? The doctor couldn’t stop them anymore, so he let them in as well.

“Why did you want to harm me?” Tan Rou asked as soon as she entered.

She already knew the reason, but the police did not know yet. She had to ask again.
