She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 180 might be about the same person.

From then on, Lin Qingran would often go to the little boy's ward to see him, but the little boy didn't talk much.

Thanks to the police's tireless investigation, they quickly located the little boy's family.

Lin Qingran only learned the news when the little boy was about to be taken away by his family.

Ignoring her still weak body, she pulled out the IV and rushed out to chase after the car.

She ran and shouted loudly, her voice hoarse with anxiety.

But the car kept driving further and further away. Lin Qingran ran with all her might, but she still missed seeing the boy one last time.

The police also did their best to investigate Lin Qingran's family. They visited various places, checked information, and refused to let go of any clues. But strangely, after a lot of hard work, they still could not find any trace of Lin Qingran's relatives.

Left with no other option, the police had to send Lin Qingran to an orphanage...

Lin Qingran slowly came back to her senses from her long memories, and suddenly had a strong feeling that the little boy she had met back then was Fu Xiuheng.

Lu An spoke up on the other end of the phone, asking a question.

"Miss Jiang, why aren't you saying anything?"

Lin Qingran was silent for a moment, then said, "It's nothing."

Her voice was somewhat low, and she tried to hang up the phone after speaking.

But just as she was about to press the hang-up button, she hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and instructed Lu An.

"Go and investigate again where Fu Xiuheng was taken when he was kidnapped. Call me back when you have any news."

Lu An on the other end of the phone sounded a little puzzled, but still answered.

"okay, I get it."

Lin Qingran hung up the phone hastily, but her gaze remained fixed on the distance, her thoughts drifting away once more.

Bo Ye entered the room and saw that Lin Qingran was pale and dazed, so he quickly asked her what was wrong.

"what happened?"

Lin Qingran was somewhat uneasy, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and slowly told Bo Ye her guess.

Bo Ye frowned and retorted with some doubt.

"How is this possible? How could Fu Xiuheng's mental instability be related to being kidnapped?"

Lin Qingran raised her head, "I'm not sure either, but I vaguely remember that the reason Fu Xiuheng liked Lin Yuyan before was because he was sent to live with the Lin family for a period of time when he was young. During that time, Fu Xiuheng was in poor health, and the Lin family was always looking for people to treat and take care of him. Fu Xiuheng developed feelings for Lin Yuyan because of this."

However, Fu Xiuheng and his family have always remained tight-lipped about why Fu Xiuheng fell ill and what kind of illness he had.

However, judging from the timing of Fu Xiuheng's kidnapping, it should have been after Fu Xiuheng was kidnapped that he was sent there.

Lin Qingran found the matter increasingly strange, her brows furrowed as she paced back and forth in the room.

Lin Qingran remembers that the little boy she saved developed post-traumatic stress disorder after being taken to the hospital because he was frightened.

He refused to lie still in the hospital bed, curling up in a corner, shivering, making it difficult for even medical staff to approach him.

Moreover, Lin Qingran had heard the psychiatrist's diagnosis of Fu Xiuheng, which seemed to suggest that Fu Xiuheng's illness was difficult to treat.

Thinking this way, Lin Qingran became even more certain that Fu Xiuheng might really be the boy she had saved.

“I suspect that Fu Xiuheng’s illness was cured by medicine that Zhou Lan obtained through some unknown channel. At that time, Zhou Lan was already engaged in illegal business,” Lin Qingran said.

"Zhou Lan is ruthless and will do anything for profit."

Bo Ye's expression grew increasingly serious as he listened to Lin Qingran's words.

Lin Qingran's face turned pale. "Do you think it's possible that Zhou Lan's original intention wasn't to treat Fu Xiuheng at all, but to use him as an experiment? She's capable of anything, no matter how heinous, for the sake of her illegal businesses. Fu Xiuheng might have become one of her test subjects."

Therefore, although Fu Xiuheng's illness seems to have improved, the non-compliant medicine may very well cause side effects.

Those drugs haven't undergone proper testing and approval. Who knows what ingredients they contain or what long-term damage they might cause to the body?

Perhaps this is the root cause of Fu Xiuheng's later mental breakdown.

After hearing this, Bo Ye asked Lin Qingran with some hesitation.

Are you worried about Fu Xiuheng?

"No," Lin Qingran firmly shook her head.

"I was just thinking, could we investigate who Zhou Lan was cooperating with by looking at Fu Xiuheng's experience?"

Zhou Lan's words still echoed in her ears, and Lin Qingran was worried about her backup plan, not just Lin Yuyan who was currently stranded outside.

Bo Ye looked at Lin Qingran's tense face and sighed softly.

"Don't push yourself too hard; this can't be rushed."

Lin Qingran bit her lip and looked resolutely out the window.

"No, we must find clues as soon as possible. If Zhou Lan really has a backup plan, it won't matter even if she goes to jail; she'll retaliate against us sooner or later. Besides, Zhou Lan has been receiving medical treatment outside of prison due to mental health issues."

Moreover, Lingdang is currently ill, and there is clearly something wrong with her illness.

Lin Qingran looked worried, her hands unconsciously twisting together as she muttered to herself.

“I’m worried that Lingdang’s illness is Zhou Lan’s revenge, because among the people I suspect, only Zhou Lan would bring in those shady things.”

A brief silence fell over the room, with only Lin Qingran's heavy breathing clearly audible.

Her eyes were filled with anxiety and anger. "The bell is so small, how could Zhou Lan do that!"

Bo Ye stepped forward and gently grasped Lin Qingran's shoulder.

"Don't rush things. Let's find a doctor to figure out Lingdang's condition first, and then we can discuss it further."

Lin Qingran raised her head, her eyes filled with determination.

"No, we can't wait any longer. We must find a way to expose Zhou Lan's allies as soon as possible and prevent her from harming the people around us again."

Just then, someone cautiously knocked on the door, interrupting their conversation.

Lin Qingran turned her head and found Fu Xingze at the door.

Lin Qingran's expression changed drastically, and she asked angrily.

"What are you here for?"

Fu Xingze spoke cautiously, "I've come to see my sister."

Lin Qingran nervously stood up and blocked the bell to prevent him from seeing it, staring intently at Fu Xingze as she questioned him.

"How did you know Bell was sick? Have you been following us?"

Fu Xingze's eyes darted around, and he stammered, "I...I just happened to hear about it."

Lin Qingran didn't believe him at all, and her voice became even more stern.

"A coincidence? You think I'd believe that? Tell me, what really happened!"

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, and Bo Ye also looked at Fu Xingze warily.

Just as Lin Qingran was wondering if Fu Xingze had fed Lingdang something unclean, Fu Xingze lowered his head and spoke in a tearful voice.

"Yes, I'm following you..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran flew into a rage, her eyes widening as she roared.

"You were following us!"

Fu Xingze was so frightened by Lin Qingran's anger that he burst into tears. He quickly waved his hand to explain.

"Mom, I followed you just to see you more often. I didn't mean anything by it. Really, I had no ill intentions."

Seeing him cry, Lin Qingran's anger subsided slightly, but she was still full of doubt as she spoke.

"Don't give me that crap. You think I'd believe your nonsense?"

Fu Xingze sobbed, his body trembling slightly.

"Mom, I just really miss you so much. I promise I won't do it again."
