Chapter 1085 There is another daughter
Feng Tianyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head in acquiescence.
The reason he didn't let Jun Wuduan tell Ye Wanxi about this was because he knew the person in front of him well enough.
Back when they were still on the mountain, he and his fellow disciples would occasionally go down the mountain to take on sect missions to obtain spirit stones and buy small gifts for their young junior sister.
At first, they weren't very skilled at their jobs and would sometimes get injured while completing tasks. Whenever the junior sister found out, she would feel extremely distressed and would secretly hide away and shed tears after applying medicine to them.
Conversely, when she herself gets injured, she often doesn't care much and just wraps it up casually, which makes these grown men feel both sorry for her and helpless.
Feng Tianyu knew better than anyone how soft-hearted Ye Wanxi was; if this matter were directed at her directly, it would be fine.
But if someone else is accidentally hurt because of her, it will only make her feel more guilty, and she might even develop inner demons.
That was indeed the case. However, while Ye Wanxi felt guilty, she was more concerned about who was behind it all and who had harmed these innocent people.
“I know you’re worried about me and want what’s best for me, but there are some things I still feel I should have a right to know, since this whole thing might have started because of me.”
Feng Tianyu sighed upon hearing her words: "I'm sorry, I took it upon myself to make this decision."
"So, the careers and lives of those two artists that Third Senior Brother just mentioned have gradually improved. Was that also partly due to you and Third Senior Brother?"
Feng Tianyu remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
"You are helping me compensate them."
"Um."
Ye Wanxi opened her mouth, wanting to say thank you, but then felt that saying thank you would only make people feel distant, so she silently swallowed it back.
"So, regarding this person who might be eager to find me, have you discovered anything before this?"
Feng Tianyu shook his head: "The other party did it relatively discreetly, and before that, the last victim was Wen Yuan."
Even the most recent victim couldn't find any clues, let alone those from before.
However, at that time, Feng Tianyu and Jun Wuduan subconsciously thought of the remnants of the demon realm hiding in the shadows, but did not think in the other direction at all.
Wanting to harm his junior sister but not being able to let her die—these two conditions combined seem rather...
Ye Wanxi noticed that Feng Tianyu's expression suddenly became serious. Her heart stirred slightly, and she tentatively asked, "Have you thought of something?"
"No, I was just thinking about the driver who caused your car accident. Do you really want to see him?"
Ye Wanxi stared at Feng Tianyu for a while, but did not continue to ask questions: "Well, my intuition tells me that he may be related to this matter, but I still need to see him to know for sure."
"I'll go with you."
This wasn't an unreasonable request; Ye Wanxi hadn't originally planned to go find someone alone.
Finding the driver wasn't as difficult as one might imagine. Although no one died in the accident, it was still considered a relatively serious traffic accident.
Several bureaus had relevant records, so Jiang Lin didn't need to do anything; Xiao Jihui's side could get results immediately with a simple investigation.
only……
"What did you say? He's dead? When?" Ye Wanxi's eyes widened in surprise, clearly not expecting this possibility.
Jun hesitated for a moment before truthfully replying, "It was a month after your car accident."
Ye Wanxi was stunned, and her heart sank with Jun Wuduan's words.
Was this driver's death an accident, or was he, like others, implicated because of her?
"Yuanyuan...Yuanyuan..."
As Ye Wanxi was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Feng Tianyu's voice, and her cold fingertips were quickly enveloped by a warm hand.
Looking up, he met Feng Tianyu's worried eyes, and his heart gradually calmed down.
She took a deep breath and, calming herself slightly, asked, "What was the cause of death?"
"Driving while fatigued. This driver was a long-haul truck driver who often drove for several days in a row to transport goods to other provinces. A month after your accident, he was transporting goods to D province as usual. Late at night, while passing through a mountain road near D province, he was so fatigued that the truck drove off the mountain road and plunged off a cliff, killing him instantly."
The cause of death sounded like an accident, but Ye Wanxi dared not treat it as an accident at this moment.
There are no such coincidences in this world. One minute you bump into her, the next minute she falls off a cliff and dies.
"Wait a minute, didn't they say the person who hit me was a rich kid? How did it turn out to be a truck driver?"
As soon as Ye Wanxi said this, the atmosphere in the room became subtle.
Finally, Jun Wuduan coughed lightly and took the initiative to explain: "That rich kid did indeed hit someone, but he hit a different girl. At the time, the rich kid's enemy deliberately used your popularity as a springboard to attack his opponent, and the media felt that the truck driver didn't have as much hype as the rich kid, so they took things out of context and grafted this version onto the truth, and this version just so happens to be the most widely circulated..." making the person involved believe it to be true.
"..." That's outrageous!
Ye Wanxi took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and asked in a low voice, "Does he still have any relatives?"
"This driver's surname is He. His parents died early, and his wife ran away with someone else, leaving behind only a daughter."
Where is his daughter now?
"He and his daughter were both from City A, but their hometown was in the countryside. After he passed away, his daughter took his ashes back to their hometown, and they should still be there now."
"I want to see his daughter."
Jun Wuduan and the others exchanged glances: "We'll go with you."
"No." Ye Wanxi glanced at everyone and said with a faint smile, "I'm just going to take a look, not to seek revenge. If so many of you come with me, people might think we're looking for trouble. I'll just go with my senior brother."
Xiang Yueqi and the others thought there was some truth to this, so they turned to Feng Tianyu and said, "Senior Brother, take good care of Junior Sister."
Feng Tianyu glanced at them, as if to say, "Do you even need to tell me that?"
On the same day Ye Wanxi received Mr. He's hometown address, she and Feng Tianyu rushed there without stopping.
While the central towns of City A are bustling, the rural areas are located near mountains, and the roads are rugged and uneven, making it difficult for vehicles to travel.
Fortunately, the two did not choose to drive this time.
When we arrived at Hejia Village, it was not yet noon. Due to the impassable roads, there were relatively few people in the village. Although many families had built one- or two-story houses, tiled houses still made up the majority. It was also clear that most of the young and middle-aged people in the village had gone out to work, leaving behind mostly elderly people and children.
The driver's daughter was named He Shun'an. Ye Wanxi and her companion stopped at a random old lady at the village entrance and asked her, and immediately learned the name.
"Are you here to see Xiao An?" The old lady looked Ye Wanxi and her companion up and down, then asked with a smile, "Are you friends from Xiao An's city?"
Ye Wanxi smiled and said, "Yes, we came here specifically to find her. Do you know where she lives?"
"I know, I know, I'll take you there right away. Xiao An has been back in the village for so long, and this is the first time that a friend from outside has come to visit her." The old lady said, and then she was about to personally lead the two of them to find the person.
Seeing that she was not young, Ye Wanxi quickly declined, saying, "No need, no need, Grandma, just give me her address, we can go there ourselves."
