Zhan Mohan arrived at the hospital and saw Wei Yumeng chatting with Song Lijun. He didn't intend to disturb them, but Wei Yumeng asked him to stay.
"Mohan, I've told Mrs. Feng everything."
Song Lijun also said anxiously, "I truly can't imagine who would hold a grudge against our family."
Zhan Mohan frowned, feeling that something was not quite right. "Isn't Catherine here?"
Wei Yumeng only then realized that Catherine had left a while ago and hadn't returned. Even if she were seeing guests out, it shouldn't take this long.
Moreover, this reminded Wei Yumeng that if the matter was narrowed down to a conflict of interest rather than a family feud, there was indeed one person who might be responsible.
"Catherine went to see the guests out earlier and hasn't returned since."
Wei Yumeng also clenched her fist. They hadn't paid much attention to Catherine while they were discussing those matters here. She had indeed felt someone linger at the ward door and then leave.
If it wasn't an illusion, there was only one explanation.
Catherine might have returned long ago and overheard their conversation at the door.
Assuming this was Catherine's plan, after hearing the conversation, she would easily realize they were investigating her. Her first reaction would be to find the perpetrator and tell them not to wander around during this time.
It was clear that Zhan Mohan had also thought of this. He picked up his phone and walked out of the ward.
"Fang Xun, do you have any news from the person you sent to follow Catherine? Where did she go today?"
Fang Xun's voice came from the other end of the phone, "She stayed at the hospital all morning. After seeing the visitors off not long ago, she returned to the hospital for about twenty minutes and then left again, going to a beauty salon. She only just came out of the beauty salon."
"Beauty salon?" Zhan Mohan snorted. Catherine had the leisure for such things while her parents were lying in the hospital.
Or perhaps, she wasn't there for a beauty treatment.
Zhan Mohan had been to the place with Wei Yumeng a few times. Generally, once one entered the inner area, men were not allowed. This meant his bodyguards couldn't follow her in to see what she was doing.
Therefore, Catherine had the time and opportunity to shake off the two followers, leave the beauty salon by another means, complete her task, and then return, pretending to have just come from the salon.
But even with such a suspicion, it couldn't rule out that Catherine had genuinely gone for beauty treatments.
"Continue to keep an eye on her, and find a way to copy the surveillance footage from near the beauty salon."
After Zhan Mohan ended the call, Wei Yumeng also walked out of the room.
"Mohan, how are things?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "The person following her hasn't found any suspicious individuals, but I have a suspicion."
Zhan Mohan shared his thoughts with Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng nodded. "Your suspicion makes a lot of sense. I do think Catherine is the kind of person who would do that. Moreover... her motive is so obvious. Besides her, I can't think of anyone else who would do this."
Before, Catherine had been on the verge of taking over as the CEO of Feng Corporation. If Wei Yumeng hadn't appeared then, Catherine would probably be the CEO of Feng Corporation by now.
Moreover, she had done so much for that position, even sacrificing her own body, only to end up with such a result. Given Catherine's temperament, how could she give up so easily?
Therefore, it wasn't difficult to deduce that if she still wanted to become CEO, there was only one way: to become the heir. This was why the car accident had occurred.
Wei Yumeng felt a sense of dread. Weren't the elders now like time bombs?
Catherine was so close to their lives, and it was possible she could strike at them when they least expected it.
If such a thing were to happen, Wei Yumeng didn't know what she would do to Catherine, perhaps even to the point of mutual destruction.
Seeing Wei Yumeng's fearful expression, Zhan Mohan gently took her hand. "Don't worry, I'll have more people keep an eye on this place during this time."
Although Wei Yumeng believed in the capabilities of Zhan Mohan's bodyguards, such protection was not personal. There were many things they wouldn't be able to detect. So Wei Yumeng silently decided that she would stay here all the time.
"What are you all doing outside? Where's my mother?"
Catherine walked over, holding some food, her eyes filled with blame, as if she was displeased that Wei Yumeng had left Song Lijun alone in the ward.
Catherine said faintly, "Mrs. Feng is resting now. It's not good to disturb her."
Catherine looked at the food in her hands and shrugged. "It's okay. Fortunately, the things I bought can be eaten when Mom wakes up."
Wei Yumeng looked at Catherine, her unease growing. Finally, she said directly, "Catherine, let me take care of Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng during this time."
Catherine retorted, "Why? They are my parents too. Why should you take care of them?"
"Catherine, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Although we don't have proof yet, one day you will receive the punishment you deserve."
Catherine pouted. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I know you've always disliked me, but I will still do what I should do. None of you can control me."
Wei Yumeng looked directly into Catherine's eyes. "It's you who doesn't understand the situation. I am the biological daughter of Mrs. Feng and Mr. Feng."
"So what? I've been calling them Mom and Dad for so long. And you? You just showed up out of nowhere. How close can they be to you?" Catherine sneered.
Although Catherine said this on the surface, she was already feeling resentful in her heart. Wei Yumeng's words had hit her where it hurt.
"That's not what I mean. I just want to tell you that with me here now, you won't have another chance to hurt them," Wei Yumeng said calmly.
"Then let's see," Catherine's lips curved slightly, but her eyes held a chilling coldness.
After speaking, Catherine walked into the ward alone, angrily tossing aside the things she had bought.
"Who do you think you are?"
Catherine almost shouted, but fortunately, she only did so silently in her heart.
Wei Yumeng's provocation undoubtedly ignited Catherine's anger. The more Wei Yumeng tried to stop her, the less likely she was to give up so easily.
One day, she would make Wei Yumeng regret everything she had done.
