Chapter 31: Guardian Statue

"This matter obviously has a lot to do with the orthopedic surgeon, didn't you investigate the orthopedic surgeon further?" Xu Tian asked.

"We've been approaching that orthopedic surgeon and haven't given up on the investigation until now." Yu Yi said.

"What do you say? You're still investigating that orthopedic surgeon? Xu Tian asked in surprise.

"Don't you know? You've been in contact with that orthopedic surgeon as well. Yu Yi said.

Xu Tian suddenly became alert, and when it came to contacting an orthopedic surgeon, only Sitong had contact with an orthopedic surgeon when he was hospitalized for a leg injury.

However, the age of Sitong's attending physician at that time was indeed similar to Yu Yi's, and thinking of this, Xu Tian couldn't help but shudder.

"Do you remember?" Yu Yi asked.

"For such an important matter, why didn't Lao Chen tell me earlier! There may be a lot of dangerous things that may happen when Sitong came into contact with that orthopedic surgeon before, and Lao Chen did this too badly! Xu Tian complained.

"Lao Chen didn't do anything wrong, you weren't enough to be exposed to such an action at that time, but you should also be aware of something, right?" Yu Yi said.

"So that's really the case, then I'm relieved!" Xu Tian said with a smile.

"Some things are indeed better than you imagined, you don't have to be too entangled in what happened before, I told you about this matter just to let you rest assured that you can take over the case, from now on, your worries can be relieved." Yu Yi said.

"Thank you very much for telling me about this, if I don't have this heart disease, I can show my strength even more." Xu Tian said firmly.

"But then again, I'll tell you about this statue after it came back into my hands!" Yu Yi said.

"Can we go outside and talk? The smell inside your basement is so terrible. Xu Tian complained.

"It's still early, and I think it's dangerous to talk up there, no one will hear us in the basement, and if we go up, people passing by outside will hear us, and it's going to be a lot more dangerous." Yu Yi said.

"Then tell me what happened to this statue." Xu Tian asked.

"About what happened to this statue behind it, let Xiao Ai tell you! It didn't matter to me after that. Yu Yi said.

"Xiao Ai? Was Xiao Ai involved later? Xu Tian asked.

"I have never been out of this matter, I have been staying in the store when Yu Yi went to Dong'an City, and I was in danger all the time during the period when many people wanted to get fake gods, but I did not back down." Xiao Ai said.

"I really want to know how Xiao Ai spent her time staying, could it be that Xiao Ai has bodyguards by her side?" Xu Tian asked.

"Even if you asked, I do have a bodyguard by my side." Xiao Ai said.

"Is that the woman in the picture? Yu Yi's friend? Xu Tian asked.

"She's amazing, I was almost unharmed during that dangerous time, but I never thanked her, and I didn't even want to have anything to do with her." Xiao Ai said.

"Why did Xiao Ai do this? I don't feel like it's Xiao Ai's style. Xu Tian said.

"It has nothing to do with style, I'm just lazy to deal with it, but those people have cornered me, and I have to need the woman's help when danger happens." Xiao Ai said.

"It looks like you're at odds with that woman." Xu Tian said.

"It wasn't important at all, but that woman did help me a lot when it came to protecting the idol." Xiao Ai said.

"So what's going on between you and this idol?" Xu Tian asked.

"When Yu Yi didn't come back, I didn't know that this idol was fake, and when I was living a day of worry, the orthopedic surgeon came twice." Xiao Ai said.

Xu Tian's expression became very solemn, and now the truth was in front of him, but Xu Tian was not happy at all.

"I know you won't be too happy to hear that, and only you know the reason for this." Xiao Ai said.

"Forget it, I don't want to mention these words, you just tell me what's going on!" Xu Tian said.

"When the doctor first came, he brought a girl, a very good-looking girl, with short hair, and her hair was dyed dark blue. Do you know what the doctor said to me at the time? I guess you can guess that, too. Xiao Ai said.

"Do you trade that girl for an idol?" Xu Tian asked.

"It sounds like, but it's actually happening." Xiao Ai said.

"Is there a case of human trafficking?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's more complicated than you think, because I've seen that girl before." Xiao Ai said.

"Could it be ......" Xu Tian seemed to understand what Xiao Ai was going to say.

"Yu Yi once showed me photos of the girls who were killed in Dong'an City, and I myself searched for some lace news on the Internet, and that girl was exactly the same as the dead girl, because that girl was the most delicate of all girls, so I was very impressed." Xiao Ai said.

"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, is what you say true?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's true, that girl is alive, a living person, but that girl once died at the hands of her own father." Xiao Ai said.

"What the hell is that orthopedic surgeon trying to do? Doesn't he ask for anything other than to exchange idols with you? Xu Tian asked.

"I kept asking him for something, but he didn't tell me anything, as if he was making me guess his psychology, and of course I wouldn't give in to this kind of person, so I gave him the answer at that time." Xiao Ai said.

"You gave him the idol?" Xu Tian asked.

"I really had no other way than to do it at the time, but I knew it was wrong, but Yu Yi was not in the store at the time, so I had to make my own decisions." Xiao Ai said.

"But you still didn't give the idol away, did you?" Xu Tian asked.

"The doctor saw that the idol was fake, and I was surprised at this point, and we negotiated for a long time that day, but when I finally showed the idol to the doctor, he told me that the idol was fake, and our negotiation ended unhappily, and the doctor left with the girl." Xiao Ai said.

"You're not giving up, are you?" Xu Tian asked.

"Of course I won't give up, all I'm waiting for is to leave quickly, whether he exchanges with me or not, I'm ready to follow him." Xiao Ai said.
