Zhao Xian felt that she had been deceived, and was heartbroken and angry.

"How could this happen? I always thought he was honest enough. I've taken care of everything for him, but I never thought he would hide some private money! How could he have so much hidden away? Could it be that he's out there..."

Zhao Xian widened her eyes, as if she had thought of something unbelievable.

Lu Zhiyuan interrupted her in time: "Mom, Dad has passed away, please stop talking about him like that. He may have hidden this money to prepare for an emergency or something, please don't always think the worst."

Only then did Zhao Xian realize that she was just daydreaming and she shut her mouth.

The police officer suppressed his embarrassment and said seriously, "We've investigated and found no women he regularly contacts. And for him to suddenly withdraw so much cash, it's likely something happened."

Hearing the police's words, Zhao Xian murmured and nodded, "I knew he would never do anything to let me down."

The policeman coughed silently and brought the topic back on track: "I mean, during the time he was withdrawing money, did something happen in your family? Or did he encounter any problems?"

Zhao Xian thought for a moment, shook her head, and turned to look at Lu Zhiyuan: "Has your father mentioned this to you?"

Lu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "No, if he encountered any difficulties and needed money urgently, he could have told me directly, but he never mentioned it."

"It seems he's deliberately hiding this from you," the police officer said thoughtfully. "With such a large sum of cash and no clear where it went, we suspect he might be the victim of blackmail. If your family agrees, we can immediately open a formal investigation."

"Investigate!" Lu Zhiyuan and Zhao Xian said in unison.

There are indeed too many strange things about Lu Jing's suicide. The police should investigate it thoroughly to give an explanation to the deceased and let the living people have peace of mind.

After the police finished taking my statement and left, I saw them off to the door, thinking of saying hello to Lu Zhiyuan before going back.

Before he even stepped into the ward, he heard Zhao Xian weakly say to Lu Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, now that your father is gone, you're the only son I have left... You and Lan Shan are divorced, so you shouldn't be entangled with each other anymore..."

"Mom!" Lu Zhiyuan interrupted her, his tone unhappy. "I was discussing a project with her at the time. When she heard about Dad's accident, she was panicked and her hands were shaking. She was worried about me driving, so she kindly took me to the hospital. She was also the one who called the doctor in time after you fainted and stayed by your side to take care of you. She meant well for us. Can you please put aside your prejudice against her?"

Zhao Xian was rarely frustrated, and she muttered bitterly, "It's rare that she has a conscience. It's also because your father has often spoken well of her behind her back."

My heart trembled slightly. It turned out that although Lu Jing had never publicly defended me, he was also trying to reconcile the relationship between Zhao Xian and me in private.

It’s a pity that I found out too late.

I walked into the ward without saying a word about what I had just heard, and just said goodbye to Lu Zhiyuan.

"I think Madam Lu is fine, so I'll go back first."

I was standing at the door and happened to meet Zhao Xian's gaze. I nodded slightly at her politely.

Zhao Xian's expression was awkward, but she still pushed Lu Zhiyuan: "Go and see her off."

Zhao Xian is rarely friendly to me, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation.
