Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Tearing Off the Mask

The chief surgeon was operating, how could anything go wrong?

Therefore, the only reason Xiahou Yi hadn’t awakened was the one who had sealed off the ward, Xiahou Jingmu.

But now, Yin Hehe hadn’t moved a muscle, she just stood quietly on the side, watching these people play their parts.

"Our Junior General said, he was originally against the surgery for the old general. It was you, the chief, who took advantage of his unconscious state to insist on the operation," someone said.

"So now, whether or not there are some issues with your operating, it is your responsibility that the old master has not come to," they continued.

With those last words, they directly shifted all the responsibility onto the chief surgeon.

The chief was now rendered speechless.

Yin Hehe, seeing the play had nearly reached its climax, stepped in just as these people were about to take the chief away.

"Hold on, this matter cannot be concluded so hastily. I suggest we check the surveillance footage first," she insisted.

"Surveillance?"

Seeing her intervene, the looks on their faces turned extremely grim.

"What surveillance? Are you doubting us?" they asked, accusatorily.

"Don’t misunderstand, I just recalled that when the old general was hospitalized before, there were attempts on his life. It was my vigilance that prevented any misfortune," Yin Hehe lightly explained.

That person’s face changed colors: "That was then, now with the Shen Family gone, such a scenario should not exist."

"Who can guarantee that?" Yin Hehe shrugged her shoulders.

"What do you all say?" she then turned back to face the Xiahou family members.

"If we don’t find the cause, quarreling here is pointless. The old master won’t wake up, and if the Xiahou family descends into chaos, it’ll be tough on everyone, won’t it?" she emphasized, biting down on the last few words.

Indeed, those from the Xiahou family were eagerly hoping for Xiahou Yi to awaken.

Because if he didn’t, Xiahou Jingmu would no doubt become the successor, and as such, the yet-to-be distributed wealth of the Xiahou family, along with the power held in various departments, had not been properly allocated.

This could mean everything might fall into the hands of Xiahou Jingmu’s family.

Hence, many in the family, especially those who were usually most active, like the third branch, were likely unhappy about this.

"I support checking the surveillance!"

As expected, after these words, the third uncle was the first to stand up.

Seeing him step forward, the fourth branch, which often sided with him, joined in, followed by the troublemaker, Chu Feng’e.

"Exactly, we need a thorough investigation. Our family’s old master can’t just die like this. If he dies, what will we do? We are his direct sons and daughters-in-law!" Chu Feng’e spoke without thinking.

However, her bluntness actually gave the situation a better push forward.

With a calm and collected demeanor, Yin Hehe watched the expressions of those in uniform shift and change. Not waiting any longer, she walked over to the chief surgeon and said, "Chief, please have someone from security bring the surveillance here."

"Alright!"

The chief, already at his wit’s end, immediately instructed someone to fetch it.

Thus, when Xiahou Jingmu was wheeled in, what he saw was hospital security already bringing over the surveillance footage from the past few days of the ward.

"Yin Hehe!" Witnessing all this, he ground out the name through clenched teeth, his anger mingled with embarrassment.

Yin Hehe couldn’t be bothered to even look at him.

Two hours later, after fast-forwarding, they finally finished reviewing the surveillance.

However, to everyone’s dismay, including the dean, the surveillance footage revealed nothing amiss.

"Well? Yin Hehe, now that we’ve seen the surveillance, can we shift our focus to the group of doctors who operated on my great grandfather?"

Xiahou Jingmu, having seen nothing in the surveillance, immediately sat in his wheelchair, smirking with mockery.

Yin Hehe just looked at him in that state.

"Don’t rush, Junior General, it’s not over yet," she said indifferently.

Suddenly, a young man dressed in a black hoodie and wearing a duckbill cap on his head came out of the elevator with a bag on his back.

"Excuse me, may I ask who is Mrs. Sheng?"

"I am," Yin Hehe immediately turned to look at the person.

The individual quickly approached and handed her a business card.

"Hello, I’m from the Shengshi Group IT department. I heard there’s some surveillance footage here that needs repair, where is it?"

"It’s right here," Yin Hehe said, pointing to the materials on the table everyone had just watched.

"We’ve already seen it, nothing happened."

"That’s normal. If the footage has been tampered with, you wouldn’t be able to tell, but in our hands, even if it just glitches for a moment, I can smooth it out for you."

With a hint of jest in his voice, the IT department employee took the tape and began restoring it right there in front of everyone.

Xiahou Jingmu’s face changed.

No, it would be more accurate to say that from the moment the self-proclaimed Shengshi Group IT department member entered, his expression darkened.

It meant that the madman had started pulling strings with his people.

Indeed, in just about ten minutes, the tape was restored, and the individual had pinpointed something.

"Look here, someone went in at two o’clock in the deep of night," he pointed at the restored figure.

Instantly, a sharp inhale of cold air from the crowd erupted, and the entire Xiahou Family was in turmoil.

"So it’s true, the old master was harmed by someone!"

"Exactly!" The third elder was uncontrollably furious, "Who did it? Xiahou Jingmu, didn’t you have layers of security here? How could someone still harm the old master?"

"Yeah, Xiahou Jingmu, speak up!"

In just a few seconds, all the blame turned towards Xiahou Jingmu.

Xiahou Jingmu’s lips were pursed into a thin white line, his expression ominous, like a storm about to break.

"What are you implying? Are you suspecting me of harming the great grandfather?" he asked sharply, word by word.

In that instant, as his roar rang out, none of the Xiahou members who didn’t know his true nature dared to confront him any longer.

Yin Hehe, having foreseen this move from him, stood with a calm smile showing.

"Junior General, you’ve misunderstood. Everyone is just upset that you didn’t take good care of the old general. Now that the issue has been identified, Dean, please check what caused the old general to remain unconscious - we need to think of a way to wake him up."

"Okay."

The dean, having felt like he had a narrow escape, was completely in awe of this young lady by now.

A few minutes later, the dean personally took a blood sample from Xiahou Yi in the ICU to be tested.

Seeing this, the Xiahou family members all gathered in the lab awaiting the results.

Yin Hehe remained in the ICU, and once she saw there was nobody else around, only she and Xiahou Jingmu, who was in the wheelchair, were left.

She turned and looked indifferently at the person who was staring at her fiercely.
