Chapter 999: Chapter 999: The Police Have Arrived
No matter what Jiangli thought, they ultimately stayed.
Before the police arrived, the doctor checked Guo Xuwen thoroughly from head to toe, inside and out.
Guo Xuwen’s body temperature was still somewhat abnormal, but it had decreased significantly compared to earlier, at least now it was measurable with a thermometer.
The strange red flush on his body also gradually faded away.
The doctor was a bit puzzled by the change in Guo Xuwen’s symptoms, but still, it was a good sign.
After examining Guo Xuwen carefully, they informed Su Lifan and Guo Ji about Guo Xuwen’s current physical condition.
“His condition is much more stable now, his life is not in danger, but a lot of internal organs have been damaged due to high temperatures. These damages are irreversible and will remain in his body permanently; even if he is discharged this time… his body may continue to be very weak, and aging will accelerate, but… he probably won’t live long.”
The doctor added a sentence after finishing, “Of course, if you are still worried, you can take him to other hospitals for a checkup.”
Upon hearing this, Su Lifan and Guo Ji couldn’t help but choke up again.
Jiangli, however, showed no change in expression.
Seeing Jiangli’s usual look, Xia Xin quietly asked, “Ancestors, did you already know about Guo Xuwen’s condition?”
Jiangli responded softly with a “hmm.” She had felt Guo Xuwen’s pulse, and even without taking his pulse, after being burned by the Karmic Fire for so long, she could guess that Guo Xuwen’s five organs and six bowels were damaged, and quite severely too.
Even if he survives and is discharged, it’s impossible for him to die a natural death.
That’s why she stopped Guo Xuwu; there was no need to involve herself for someone who wouldn’t live long anyway.
Xia Xin was still somewhat worried, “But if he won’t live long, wouldn’t that be attributed to Guo Xuwu?”
After all, if it weren’t for Guo Xuwu’s actions, Guo Xuwen wouldn’t be facing a short life.
Jiangli looked indifferent, “After so long, how could his death be connected to Guo Xuwu?”
Xia Xin was puzzled, “Really?”
Jiangli glanced at him, “If I say it won’t, then it won’t.”
Xia Xin: “…”
Alright.
Okay.
Xia Xin didn’t dare to speak further.
The doctor gave some instructions on precautions, then left.
Before long, the police entered the ward.
The nurse was still changing Guo Xuwen’s medication and IV drip. Seeing the police come in, she was a bit surprised, “Who are you looking for?”
The leading officer took out his badge and asked, “Is Guo Xuwen and Su Lifan here?”
The nurse looked at Su Lifan and said nothing.
Su Lifan paled, belatedly feeling scared, “I, I am Su Lifan…” She pointed to the person on the bed, “He, he is my son Guo Xuwen.”
The police who came this time were unfamiliar to Jiangli and Xia Xin, so they stood aside, staying silent.
The officer, upon hearing this, inquired, “Did you report to the police?”
Su Lifan nodded timidly, “Yes, it was me…”
The officer said, “Then tell me, what is your relationship with Guo Xuwu, and was his death really an accidental death?”
Su Lifan, upon hearing these words, clenched the hem of her clothes, looking at Guo Xuwen, not knowing how to start.
Guo Xuwen had changed into a hospital gown earlier; now he looked somewhat better, albeit still extremely weak.
He looked at the officer, and after a few seconds of silence, suddenly said, “He was my brother, I killed him.”
Both Su Lifan and Guo Ji were stunned.
They had thought that Guo Xuwen might die without admitting to his crime, contemplating what they would do if he refused to confess.
But unexpectedly, Guo Xuwen admitted it so readily.
