Meng Jie looked at the apple peel that had fallen to the ground and smiled.

"Do you find this strange? Should we send the car in for further investigation?"

Hearing her question, Yi Ruihua felt a panic in her heart, but she tried to calm herself down.

Has the police reached a conclusion?

Meng Jie shook her head at him. "No, actually the police just said it casually, that the chances were very small. But I still think we should investigate, just in case it wasn't an accident. What do you think?"

Yi Ruihua smiled and said, "The police deal with these kinds of things all day long, so they're definitely more experienced than us. Since they've said so, then there's definitely no problem."

Fearing that Meng Jie might suspect something, he added, "But it's fine to send it for a check-up, it's just too much trouble, and the result probably won't change anything."

Meng Jie nodded knowingly and said nothing more.

The air suddenly fell silent, and Yi Ruihua began to panic.

He kept stealing glances at Meng Jie's expression, afraid that because of his unnecessary words, Meng Jie would actually go and check the car.

Yi Ruihua was extremely flustered and tried her best to pretend that she was just talking casually, trying to smooth things over for herself.

"Actually, car accidents have been happening quite frequently lately. I've heard there are several every day, and they're all due to brake problems. So I think it's just a brake issue, not that strange, it's quite normal."

To make Meng Jie believe him more, Yi Ruihua looked at her and tried to show a firm gaze.

He watched as Meng Jie slowly raised her head, meeting his gaze. Her lips moved, and she uttered a sentence: "Did I say it was a brake problem?"

Yi Ruihua froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. He looked at Meng Jie's increasingly gloomy eyes and waved his hands frantically: "No! You misunderstood me. I was just saying that many car accidents are caused by brake problems, not that your car has a brake problem."

Meng Jie casually said "Oh," and added, "Oh, I see. I misunderstood you."

Yi Ruihua sighed secretly when he realized he had finally managed to fool them.

Afraid that he might say something wrong, he got up and made an excuse: "You just went through a car accident, you should rest well. I won't bother you. I need to go to the company to take care of some things; it must be a complete mess."

Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Meng Jie slowly called out to him, "Wait a moment, there's something else I need to tell you."

Yi Ruihua reluctantly stopped in her tracks. "What is it?"

Before Meng Jie could even open her mouth, her secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Meng, your phone has been ringing non-stop."

Meng Jie took it and, seeing Wu Fen's name flashing on it, said to Yi Ruihua, "Wait a moment, I need to take this call."

She answered Wu Fen's call in front of Yi Ruihua, "What's wrong? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? You never call me. Did something happen?"

Upon hearing her voice, Wu Fen immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, clutching her chest, which had nearly stopped from fright, and patted it repeatedly.

"Madam, you scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you!"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Meng Jie comforted her and was about to hang up when Wu Fen hurriedly stopped her.

"Madam, please wait a moment."

She glanced upstairs, then hurried to the bathroom. Once inside, she whispered to Meng Jie on the phone, "Madam, is something wrong? I feel something's strange. He Yunxin seems absolutely certain something will happen to you, and she's saying some odd things. I'm afraid..."

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Jie interrupted her.

"What did she say?" she asked in a low voice, as if inquiring about official business.

“She’s acting very strangely today. Usually, she’s afraid of you and wouldn’t do anything to me, but today she’s acting completely reckless. She even said with certainty that she’ll never see you again in her life. I’m afraid she might do something bad to you. I’m just glad to know you’re alright. You must be extremely careful.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Jie glanced casually at Yi Ruihua and saw that he was staring at her intently.

She looked away normally. "Alright, I understand. Mr. Yi will handle it in a bit. You just wait."

Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Yi Ruihua quickly asked, "Did something happen at the company?"

"Well, it's a bit tricky. You can handle it at the company later. I have a bit of a headache, so I won't go into details."

Meng Jie rubbed her temples as she spoke.

Seeing her exhausted appearance, Yi Ruihua quickly asked, "What do you want to tell me? If it's important, say it first. If it's not important, there will be plenty of time to talk about it later. You should rest first."

Looking at his caring manner, Meng Jie was somewhat flattered and said, "You're so considerate; this seems to be the first time since we got married."

Yi Ruihua was taken aback, then explained guiltily, "I was negligent before. This incident made me realize how important you are to me, and I will never do it again."

His "Mr. Nice Guy" demeanor made Meng Jie feel a little uncomfortable.

"Aren't you going to ask who the dead driver was?" she asked coldly.

Yi Ruihua frowned slightly, as if he was wondering if it was even necessary to ask this question.

He hesitated for a moment, then followed up by asking, "Who is the driver?"

"Yi An".

Meng Jie uttered those two words.

Yi Ruihua was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "This is impossible! How could it be Yi An?"

Meng Jie retorted, "Why do you think it won't happen? Who told you he would never be in my car? You're so sure."

Yi Ruihua hurriedly explained, "No! If it were Yi An, how could you be so calm! It definitely wouldn't be Yi An, don't scare me."

Meng Jie suddenly burst out laughing, "I was trying to scare you, but you didn't fall for it."

She held out her hand, "Can I borrow your phone for a moment? I need to call my son and let him know I'm safe."

Yi Ruihua glanced at the phone next to her. "Don't you have a phone?"

"What's wrong? Is there something you're hiding on your phone?" Meng Jie asked with a smile.

Yi Ruihua choked up and immediately handed over his phone, even unlocking the screen to prove his innocence.

"Look for yourself, what could possibly be on my phone?"

He watched as Meng Jie took the phone, browsed through all the call logs and messages, and couldn't help but smile.

"Did you see anything you wanted to see? No, right? We've been married for so many years, don't we even have this much trust?"

As Meng Jie watched him confidently berate her, she chuckled, pointed to He Yunxin's name, dialed the number, and pressed the speakerphone button.

Yi Ruihua's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward to snatch the phone.

Why did you call her?!

The call connected the moment he shouted it out.

Yi Ruihua stared blankly as the call connected, completely losing her composure and shouting, "Don't say anything!"
