"Can you cure my illness? Cure my poisoning? And my liver and kidney failure?"
Ding Xia seemed to suddenly come to life. She rushed to Lin Yao and grabbed his arms tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh.
“Ms. Ding, you need to calm down,” Lin Yao said calmly. “Min Hong’s special medical services haven’t been launched yet, but even if they were, given what you and your husband have done, you wouldn’t meet the requirements to receive them. Therefore, we will not help you completely cure your physical ailments and the damage caused by the poisoning. We can only guarantee that until Ji Rong and Vice Governor Jia behind her are brought to justice, your mental and physical strength will be sufficient to handle your daily work and life, allowing you to live like a healthy person, but this is a time-limited process.”
“We know that you and your husband never skimp on coal miners’ wages, and that you invest heavily in mine safety facilities and the welfare benefits of miners. However, this does not meet the criteria for Minhong Special Clinic. If you have done anything beneficial to society in the past, such as investing in public welfare or helping the elderly and widowed, we can help you this time. But I’m sorry, you’ve only been focused on making money in the past.”
Ding Xia's newly ignited hope was shattered in an instant, and she collapsed softly to the ground. Lin Yao quickly helped her back to sit down by the bedside.
"Ms. Ding, have you made your choice?"
Lin Yao felt a pang of reluctance, but this reluctance was quickly dispelled by his detached attitude.
Having no kinship or connection with her, and without any commendable behavior, Ding Xia simply didn't meet Lin Yao's criteria for intervening. If Lin Yao were to intervene simply because someone was pitiful, he would probably have to fly directly to Africa, or go to those blood-selling villages and private processing plants and mines across the country to treat people's illnesses, because there are just too many pitiful people there.
In that case, Lin Yao would only have the option of becoming a "Bethune"-style doctor, doing nothing else but treating dozens of patients every day to get through his entire life.
"I've thought it through. Thank you. Although I don't know your name, thank you for telling me all this."
Ding Xia calmed down and said in a very calm tone, "I choose the first path. I'm sorry to have put you and Minhong in a difficult position."
"Why?"
Lin Yao couldn't understand it. The only outcome of the first path was death, and it allowed the person who murdered him to go unpunished. At least he chose to do nothing and not retaliate against Ding Xia, the person who murdered him.
"Hehe, sir, I have no choice. I'm just a woman, and I have to think about my husband and family."
Ding Xia burst into tears, "Even if I know that it was Ji Rong, or even Vice Governor Jia behind her, who harmed me, I can only accept it and cannot stand up and fight against them."
“You’re not from Shanxi, so you don’t know how powerful Vice Governor Jia is here. He’s a local tyrant. If I choose to fight him, not only me, but my husband and my family will be implicated. Maybe in the end, we’ll only be able to meet again in the afterlife.”
"All of this is for love, for my loving husband, for my loving parents and siblings, and for my husband's parents and siblings. Since I'm going to die anyway, wouldn't it be better to die with some value? At least so that my husband and loved ones can live better and more peacefully after I'm gone. That's enough."
As she spoke, Ding Xia collapsed onto the blanket and began to sob softly.
"So you can slander Minhong? You have the heart to let Minhong's hospitals and clinics in Shanxi be shut down and investigated because of your own selfishness? And thus affect the health and interests of more people?"
Lin Yao couldn't understand Ding Xia's reasons for choosing this place. According to the investigation report from Ge Yong, Ding Xia's husband had clearly distanced himself from her and even started looking for other women. The situation he saw here today was the same. Such a large villa, yet they didn't even hire a nanny. Moreover, Ding Xia was a critically ill patient on the verge of death.
For love? Is this love, which has already begun to betray us, worth such a sacrifice?
"sorry."
Although Ding Xia was crying, she heard what Lin Yao said. She buried her face in the blanket and apologized indistinctly, "You also said that Min Hong would eventually be fine. I had no choice but to continue suing Min Hong!"
"Although Vice Governor Jia is only ranked fifth in the province, none of the leaders before him have that much real power, that power over us ordinary people. (Author's note: "Sigh, the censors are too harsh, I dare not write anything, so let's just leave it at that.") Anyway, I'm going to die. Even if my husband doesn't want me anymore, I still hope he can be happy in the future. Please consider it as me doing this for the love that once made me happy. Even if it's the first time in my life I'm being a bad person, I'll do it! I'm sorry to you and Minhong! Waaah..."

"Yaoyao, Ding Xia's husband is with that Ji Rong. The two of them are having an affair."
The sound of the little grass suddenly rang out.
"oh?"
Lin Yao thought things were getting more and more complicated. Could it be that Ding Xia's husband, Qiu Yong, conspired with Ji Rong to deliberately murder his wife?
Such plots exist in movies, TV dramas, and novels. It is difficult for outsiders to find out about many aspects of illicit relationships, and it is also difficult for the security team led by Ge Yong to find out the truth in a short period of time.
The security team members that Ge Yong dispatched to Taiyuan were led by retired veterans from the Eagle Division, so the information would definitely not be significantly inaccurate.
Xiao Cao had seen Qiu Yong and Ji Rong's photos, so she naturally wouldn't make a mistake. The whereabouts of several key figures under 24-hour surveillance were also reported to her at any time, which is why Xiao Cao was able to find the parties involved immediately. However, she didn't expect that Qiu Yong and Ji Rong had gotten involved together. Obviously, Xiao Cao was being rather subtle, but the two of them must have had a sexual relationship.
Looking at Ding Xia, who had become dazed again, Lin Yao swallowed hard. "Ms. Ding, I would like to ask you a few personal questions. Our investigators cannot find out everything, so we need your cooperation as the person involved."
"You mean, Mr. Minhong."
Ding Xia still seemed uninterested in anything, her gaze somewhat unfocused.
"Oh, right, my name is Lin Yao, and Minhong is my family's business. I forgot to tell you."
Lin Yao introduced himself first, which made Ding Xia stare at him in surprise. Ding Xia really didn't expect that an important figure from Minhong would come to Taiyuan in person. She originally thought it was just a lawyer or some kind of lobbyist, but she didn't expect that Minhong, which has such a large operation, would take her matter so seriously. Hope was rekindled in her heart.
"Ms. Ding, I'd like to know how your relationship with your husband is? I mean, are there any conflicts or disagreements between you, the kind of conflicts that could lead to a complete break or even hostility?"
“I have a good relationship with Yong Ge. Even though he’s been ignoring me lately, it’s because of a few things that caused him to misunderstand. He thinks I did something to betray him and made him a cuckold, but I find it hard to explain those things clearly.”
“I’m a liberal arts student at Renmin University. I didn’t study business or any of the majors that would be helpful to Yong Ge. That year, I met Yong Ge by chance in Beijing when he was working there…”
As Ding Xia described it, Lin Yao entered into a love story.
A beautiful young woman fell in love with an honest and hardworking laborer. After graduation, she went to her lover's hometown and used all of her parents' savings to obtain the contract mining rights for a small coal mine.
Subsequently, with the rapid development of the national economy, the demand for coal for thermal power increased sharply, and the price of black gold soared. During this period, the hardworking Qiu Yong and his virtuous wife Ding Xia managed the small coal mine in an orderly manner and rapidly expanded the scale of the industry through loans and private lending. In just a few years, they became one of the first groups of people in the country to get rich.
Starting in late 2007, Ding Xia, with a broad perspective, persuaded her husband Qiu Yong to sell all the coal mines to others. They sold them at a good price when the coal mining industry was booming, thus avoiding the major rectification and adjustment of coal mining in Shanxi Province that began in 2008, and instantly amassed a fortune of nearly 200 million yuan.
Unable to conceive, Ding Xia was comforted by her kind husband, who jokingly suggested that she take a few years to recuperate and have a baby. Ding Xia's happy life seemed to be on the road to even greater success, but because she cared too much about her husband's opinion of her, she fell into a conspiracy.
