Inside the Santana, Chen Xihua looked in the rearview mirror at the large truck that was stopped sideways on the side of the bend, barely managing to brake, and the two cargo boxes behind it hadn't completely fallen off.
The front of the car was hanging on the edge of the cliff, which was terrifying to look at.
The stone railing along the roadside had been knocked down.
At this moment, vehicles traveling in both directions were blocked and brought to a stop.
Someone has already called the police, shouting, "Help! There's been a car accident! Help!"
Ignoring the outside of the car, Chen Xihua first rubbed her slightly trembling legs. It would be a lie to say she wasn't flustered. She then looked at the other two people in the car.
"Fourth Sister, Ning, are you alright?"
"Xiao Wu, that was terrifying! Was that car doing it on purpose?" Chen Xiuhua, sitting in the passenger seat, was so frightened that her eyes turned red.
Ning Wenfeng calmed himself down first. He was just as flustered as the two women, but he still tried to appear calm on the surface. "Fortunately, we escaped unharmed!"
Once the three of them had recovered, they got out of the car one after another and waited for the police to arrive.
Chen Xihua has basically determined that the car accident was caused by human intervention.
Moreover, there's a 90% chance it's that person from Jiang City. Don't ask her why she's so certain; the location of the incident was chosen too perfectly.
Their car had just left Jiang City when the accident happened.
In fact, she had already noticed that a large truck had been following their Santana for a while, and there were many opportunities for them to make a move.
Of course, if Chen Xihua and the other two really had an accident, perhaps no one would suspect that the truck driver did it intentionally.
But now that she's alright, the first person she thinks of is that guy in Jiang City.
The passing drivers who had stopped all tried to lean out to see if they could rescue the driver.
However, no one really dared to be on the cliff, with the truck's cab hanging precariously overhead.
Upon noticing Chen Xihua and the other two getting out of the car, some of them went over to greet them with concern.
"Are you alright? You're so lucky you weren't hit by the truck! You escaped a terrible accident!"
"Did the truck's brakes fail, or was the driver asleep? I watched the truck accelerate forward, it was terrifying."
Among them, the driver of the black sedan following behind the truck, a slightly overweight man with a large gold chain around his neck, said with trepidation.
Chen Xihua replied politely, "Thank you for your concern. We also noticed something was wrong, so we took a gamble and drove very fast. Luckily, we managed to avoid it after turning."
As for the truck driver, no one knew what happened to him. There wasn't a single cry for help. A passerby asked, "Did he faint?"
However, Chen Xihua guessed that the person was probably already dead.
Moreover, the cause of death is most likely an illness, such as a sudden myocardial infarction, which is the easiest way to fake an accident.
In fact, if the person behind this wanted to stage a more realistic accident, they should have chosen a healthy, normal person as the truck driver.
When the police arrive, regardless of the test results, if the driver is confirmed dead, then her final 10% uncertainty becomes 100% certainty that someone deliberately wanted to kill the three of them.
Even ants try to survive, and the truck driver hadn't completely fallen off the cliff; he should still be able to be saved.
Half an hour later, police cars and ambulances arrived, followed by a crane.
By the time they brought the truck driver back to the road, he had already lost all signs of life.
When Chen Xihua, who was on the periphery, found out, her eyes darkened. Zhang Anguo!
The deceased driver had no visible injuries; the true cause of death will need to be determined by the forensic center for further examination.
The traffic police first asked other drivers of passing vehicles for information, while Chen Xihua and the other two, along with the slightly overweight driver of the black sedan, were taken back to the police station.
"Fourth Sister, it's alright. We're just asking for some details. Once we're done, we can leave!"
This wasn't Chen Xihua's first time at the police station, and she remained calm.
Chen Xiuhua, on the other hand, was reserved and uneasy. Although she hadn't done anything wrong and was being called in for questioning, she was still a little nervous and had been frightened by the car accident.
Ning Wenfeng's reaction was quite natural; he held her hand tightly.
After Chen Xihua and the other two had been questioned, it was already noon, and they could not reach Yun City for the time being.
After leaving the police station, they first went to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
After the three of them got into the Santana, once they were alone, Chen Xihua took out her phone and called Zheng Dao.
She was in a really bad mood at the moment, since she had already suspected him before, but hadn't made enough preparations to deal with it.
Chen Xihua never expected that even after China had launched its third crackdown, there would still be people so ruthless!
So when he started the phone call, he spoke with a hint of emotion, uttering the startling words: "Captain Zheng, someone has been killed!"
Zheng Dao, who had already returned to the special forces, felt a chill run down his spine. "Something happened?"
"Yes, we almost had a car accident on our way back to Yun City today... The information we have so far is that the truck driver suddenly fell ill and had convulsions, which caused him to make a mistake in operation."
My discovery was that the truck had been following us for some time, and the driver was in a normal mental state when he crashed into us.
Although I couldn't see it clearly, there was definitely a flicker in the driver's eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision.
That person committed premeditated murder; I suspect it. That guy in Jiang City…”
Chen Xihua spoke these words frankly to Zheng Dao.
However, her statement at the police station was more cryptic, and she did not directly say that the driver did it on purpose.
After all, the police need concrete evidence, and there's also the possibility of alerting the suspect.
On the other end of the phone, Zheng Dao's expression instantly turned serious. "I understand."
After finishing the call, he immediately went to the lieutenant general's office.
He had submitted his application two days ago, but the decision on whether to send an investigation team to Jiang City Mayor Zhang Anguo has not yet been finalized.
Some have raised objections, arguing that making such a judgment without any evidence could have negative consequences.
After all, the investigation team needs to be dispatched by the Supervisory Commission; it's not under the jurisdiction of their special forces.
But this time, Zheng Dao was determined to persuade the lieutenant general and find a way to get the investigation request approved.
Inside the car, Ning Wenfeng's expression changed drastically after listening to Chen Xihua's phone call.
Although he had just guessed that the truck driver might have done it on purpose, he hadn't directly connected it to the person behind it.
He needed to tell his father immediately, so he took out his phone and told Secretary Ning what had happened that day.
“Father, I told you the day before yesterday that we were in another car accident today… Yes, that’s it!”
Chen Xiuhua, who was standing next to her, was also getting a little paranoid. She asked anxiously, "Xiao Wu, what you suspect isn't true, is it?"
Chen Xihua nodded. There are no such coincidences!
......
Less than half a day later, Chen Jinhua also received the news in Beijing. Her intuition was more accurate than anyone else's. After listening to Xiao Wu's analysis, she couldn't sit still.
She called the lieutenant general, asking to return to Jiang City immediately, but the lieutenant general refused, saying that she absolutely could not interfere in this matter.
Even if she finds a clue, she needs to avoid suspicion.
Meanwhile, at Mayor Jiang's home, Zhang Anguo was waiting for a phone call in his study.
"Mayor Zhang, the plan has failed, and... the police seem to have some suspicions!"
