Chapter 254: Protecting Mom

After Wu Mei entered the ward, her footsteps were very light. She sat down on the chair and picked up a thick stack of documents.

The Assistant from the Wu Corporation had helped her find the employees who had helped Wu Pang. They had accepted a lot of money from Wu Pang and were willing to work for him.

For example, this time, they had helped Wu Pang cause trouble in the company. Additionally, in the documents, there was evidence of other interests involved.

Wu Mei wanted to deal with these people, who had betrayed or even indirectly hurt her mother, after Mother Wu was discharged.

None of them could escape.

While Wu Mei was reading the document, Mother Wu woke up.

Mother Wu felt guilty when she saw Wu Mei flipping through thick documents under the dim light, but she did not know how to make up for it.

When Wu Mei raised her hand to rub her temples, she realized that Mother Wu had already woken up. She put the documents aside and said, “Mom, why didn’t you call me since you’re awake? Are you still feeling unwell?”

“Did Mom cause trouble for you again?” Mother Wu shook her head and held Wu Mei’s hand as she asked guiltily.

Looking at Mother Wu’s guilty gaze, Wu Mei comforted her, “It’s nothing major. I’ll take care of it.”

“D-did you find him?” Mother Wu did not dare to mention Wu Pang’s name in front of Wu Mei.

If not for her indulgence, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

Wu Mei shook her head and said, “We haven’t found him yet, but there’s no hurry. He’ll come out on his own.”

She believes that Wu Pang will take action today.

After all, if he misses this opportunity, it will be very difficult for him to get a second chance.

Looking at the confident Wu Mei, Mother Wu relaxed for the time being. After letting go of Wu Mei’s hand, she began to look around.

“Mom, what are you looking for?” Wu Mei quickly asked when she saw this.

Panic flashed across Mother Wu’s eyes. “Mei’er, my phone is missing. Where’s my phone?”

This was not the first time Wu Mei had seen Mother Wu so flustered. She found it strange, but she merely frowned and asked gently, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll help you find it.”

Her phone was in the drawer of the bedside table.

Mother Wu’s hand trembled as she held the phone. “Mei’er, how are you going to deal with Wu Pang?”

Wu Mei thought that Mother Wu would plead on that man’s behalf. Her expression darkened and she slowly sat back in her chair. “I know what to do.”

Mother Wu knew that Wu Mei had misunderstood her and quickly explained, “Mei’er, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not helping him.”

Wu Mei looked at her mother with mixed feelings. Clearly, she didn’t quite believe Mother Wu and simply coaxed her, “I’m glad Mom isn’t helping him. It’s getting late.”

Mother Wu grabbed her hand and interrupted her, “Take my phone. I recorded everything. I…”

Outside the door, there was a loud bang and a man’s muffled curses could be heard.

Listening to the commotion outside, a trace of coldness flashed across Wu Mei’s eyes. When she looked at Mother Wu again, her gaze was still very gentle as she said, “Mom, rest early. You still have a checkup tomorrow.”

Mother Wu had already guessed what had happened outside the door. She looked at Wu Mei worriedly and said, “Mei’er, don’t go out, okay?”

“I’m just going to take a look. Go to sleep first, Mom,” Wu Mei comforted her.

Mother Wu stuffed the phone into Wu Mei’s hands and obediently lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed.

After Wu Mei left, she silently wiped her tears, but she couldn’t wipe them away no matter how she tried.

Wu Mei walked out of the ward and casually closed the door. When she looked at the man who had been pressed onto the ground by the bodyguards, she was quite surprised.

The bodyguard said to her, “Madam, he snuck into the ward and added something into the medicine bottle.”

She sized up the unfamiliar man kneeling on the ground. “Did Wu Pang ask you to come?”

The stranger was nervous and guilty. He did not dare to look at Wu Mei and simply shouted, “Don’t spout nonsense. I just came to the wrong door. Hurry up and let go of me, or else I’ll call the police.”

Wu Mei sneered at this man. Does he really think I’m a fool?

She bent down and said softly, “This is the hospital. It’s not convenient for us to detain you either.”

The man looked delighted, but Wu Mei’s next words made his heart turn cold.

“I’ll have to trouble you to go with them and have a good talk about what Wu Pang asked you to do.” Wu Mei stood up and signaled to the bodyguard with her eyes.

The man looked up in horror. “No, I didn’t…”

The bodyguards immediately covered the man’s mouth and dragged him away.

Wu Mei’s mood was not affected by this incident. She had already guessed that Wu Pang would not take action personally. It was enough to ensure Mother Wu’s safety.

She checked Mother Wu’s phone and realized that there was no password on it. The last program that Mother Wu used was the video application.

She turned the volume down to the lowest possible level. The screen flickered as the video played, but she could hear the conversation between Mother Wu and Wu Pang.

This is direct evidence of Wu Pang’s crimes.

By handing the phone to her, Mother Wu had realized Wu Pang’s true colors. She would no longer defend this ungrateful man who had abandoned his wife and daughter.

Wu Mei was happy with Mother Wu’s decision. After returning to the ward, she looked at the sleeping Mother Wu. As she tidied up the blanket, she noticed the tears at the corner of Mother Wu’s eyes.

She gently wiped Mother Wu’s tears away and sighed silently.
