“The police came twice while you were unconscious,” Han Xiangdong said indignantly. “They said they would come back to take your statement after you regained consciousness.”
"Hmm." Le Yao nodded, but she always felt that things were not that simple, especially since the profile of the person she had seen before kept flashing through her mind.
"The driver died at the scene. Preliminary investigations suggest drunk driving, but it's not conclusive yet," Han Xiangdong sighed. "However..."
"After Shen Yi took you away, the car exploded, affecting several cars parked on the side of the road. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but..." Han Xiangdong's brows furrowed deeply, "...there were people in the house that the truck crashed into..."
"Casualties?" Le Yao's heart jumped instantly.
"Yes." Han Xiangdong nodded. "The police said that a couple from out of town who came to Xiling City to work were renting there. They had a two-year-old child with them. When the house was knocked down, the couple shielded the child with their bodies, and then..."
"How is it?" Le Yao's nose felt a little sore.
"The couple is dead, but the child is alive. However, their relatives have been notified, and the child is currently being cared for in an orphanage..."
Although Le Yao didn't say anything more, she felt extremely sad inside.
Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and Nangong Jue walked in, his face extremely grim.
Le Yao frowned slightly.
"Get out." Nangong Jue glanced at Han Xiangdong.
Han Xiangdong did not leave, but instead moved closer to the bedside and watched the other person warily.
Le Yao felt a warmth in her heart. This older brother was truly a good man, and he was incredibly devoted to Han Binglan. It was a pity that Han Binglan hadn't cherished him before, being too focused on romance. Fortunately, after she came, she had already begun to change the fate of the Han family. Naturally, she hoped that everyone would have a better future.
"You're the one who should leave." Le Yao didn't want anyone to give her older brother a hard time. "This is my hospital room."
"You..." Nangong Jue wanted to get angry, but when he met Le Yao's cold eyes, he suddenly lost his temper and softened his attitude. "I have something to say to you."
"Speak up, my brother isn't an outsider." Le Yao wasn't about to give in to his wishes.
Nangong Jue frowned, but ultimately did not send him away. Instead, he stepped forward and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine as long as you're not angry."
“You…” Nangong Jue stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Just say what you have to say," Le Yao said, sounding annoyed. "If you don't have anything to say, then let's go."
"Okay." Nangong Jue took a deep breath, telling himself not to get angry. "Did you offend anyone?"
"What do you mean?" Le Yao frowned. "Did you find out anything?"
Nangong Jue glanced at Han Xiangdong.
"My brother is a trustworthy person and my closest relative."
Han Xiangdong smiled; it felt good to be trusted by his sister.
“Okay.” Nangong Jue took a deep breath. “The police haven’t released the results yet, but the driver’s autopsy results are in. His stomach alcohol content was very low, not enough to indicate intoxication, and… he already had late-stage liver cancer. Even if he doesn’t die now, he won’t live for more than two months…”
"Not an accident, but murder?" Han Xiangdong's expression changed.
“There’s no conclusion yet, but I will investigate,” Nangong Jue glanced at Han Xiangdong. “Now, Alan, I want to ask you if you’ve offended anyone.”
