Chapter 114 Burial Expenses
I looked at the fire in front of me and couldn't help feeling a wave of fear in my heart.
If I had acted any later, I might have died in the fire with Jiang Yichen.
After the fire started, Jiang Yichen finally reacted and said in a deep voice.
"The driver is still in the driver's seat."
I looked at the burning car in silence and didn't respond to him.
In the situation just now, I had no time to rescue the two people.
It wasn't long before the police arrived.
We were both taken to the hospital.
On the way there, I deliberately lowered my voice and asked Jiang Yichen.
"I just saw someone trying to attack you. Was that person arranged by Hong Yu?"
After hearing what I said, Jiang Yichen's expression became very subtle.
After a while, he spoke indifferently.
"This has nothing to do with you."
My heart sank immediately. I was the one who saved him just now, and he wanted to cut off ties with me so soon.
I wanted to say something several times, but finally chose to remain silent.
After arriving at the hospital, Jiang Yichen informed Lin Nan and gave the driver's family some burial expenses.
I just watched silently.
We were given a full body check-up.
The car explosion did not hurt me, and Jiang Yichen only had a slight concussion, which did not have any impact.
After the inspection, the police came to us to find out the details.
I thought of the video I had shot on my phone and quickly took it out and handed it over to the police.
The distance was quite far, so I only captured the other person's intention to commit the crime, but I didn't capture his appearance.
The police copied my video and then turned their attention to Jiang Yichen and continued questioning him.
"We will investigate the suspicious persons. President Jiang, we also want to know who knows about your formation this time?"
Seeing the police asking questions, Jiang Yichen rubbed his brows and thought seriously, and soon gave an answer.
"Only Gu Mo, the driver, and those who attended the banquet would know about this."
The police looked aware of what was happening, but did not explain further.
Sensing that something was wrong with the policeman's expression, Jiang Yichen asked another question.
"Officer, I want to know why you asked about the itinerary."
The policeman looked serious and told the truth.
"We suspect that this attack was a coordinated effort from both inside and outside."
Just a simple sentence, but it sent chills down my spine.
Is it possible that someone at the banquet also wants to harm Jiang Yichen?
Jiang Yichen's eyes gradually dimmed, and his expression became more serious.
"Is there any evidence?"
The police nodded, handed the photos taken at the scene to Jiang Yichen, and continued to supplement.
"According to the investigation, the presence of the equipment at the scene was also artificially deployed, so this time it was premeditated to harm you."
I was next to Jiang Yichen and took a look at the scene photos provided by the police. I felt that things were not that simple.
Jiang Yichen handed the photo back and spoke seriously.
"Then please investigate as soon as possible, officer. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
The police put the photo away and responded decisively.
"Now everyone who knows about this is a suspect. We will investigate them one by one and get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."
After questioning Jiang Yichen, the police looked at me.
With a serious face, he asked about the banquet.
"Ms. Gu, I want to know what you did at the banquet?"
I was a little confused by what the police said.
I told him exactly what happened at the party.
"I stayed with Jiang Yichen until the banquet was almost over. I felt really bad and went to the bathroom to vomit."
It was only at that time that I left Jiang Yichen for a short time.
But unexpectedly, he dumped me and left alone.
After I told the police my story, he did not agree with my statement and questioned me.
"Ms. Gu, according to the waiter at the banquet, you went to the bathroom and cursed Jiang Yichen fiercely. It was said that you wanted him dead."
Hearing this, I immediately sat up straight and denied it decisively.
"I never said anything like that, it's slander."
Although I am indeed dissatisfied with what Jiang Yichen did, I don't hate him to this extent.
It's even more wrong to curse him to death.
But the police didn't listen to my explanation at all.
"Ms. Gu, because of the waiter's accusation against you, we will temporarily list you as the first suspect."
These words just make me feel confused.
It is too hasty to label me a suspect based on a statement that has no evidence to support it.
I tried my best to defend myself.
"I never said that. And if I really wanted Jiang Yichen to die, why would I save him?"
But my words had no effect at all.
The police added with reason.
"In addition, we also found Gu Bai's work permit at the rockfall site. Based on the evidence at the scene, we have reason to suspect that you and he were in collusion."
Although I don't know why my brother's work ID was at the scene, I believe he would not do such a thing.
I still insist on explaining myself.
"I didn't do anything like that. Today's dinner was also notified to me at short notice."
Without any valid evidence, my explanation is really pale.
"The figure in the video you provided is also very similar to Gu Bai. We summoned Gu Bai to cooperate with the investigation before, but he disappeared for no reason."
After hearing this news, I felt more and more confused.
There are so many things that don’t make sense.
Whether it was my brother’s work ID or his disappearance without reason, it made me feel that this was a conspiracy deliberately planned by someone.
The purpose is to kill Jiang Yichen and throw dirty water on us.
But for a moment, I couldn't figure out who could do such a sinister thing.
My brother is now the biggest suspect in the eyes of the police and he is wanted by the whole city.
I'm not much better.
The police took me back to the police station and opened a case for investigation.
My movements were restricted and I could only wait for the results in the detention center.
I was detained for one night, and the police took me out the next day and told me that someone was visiting me.
Subconsciously, I thought the person coming was Jiang Yichen, and I kept thinking about how to explain it to him.
But after seeing who it was, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
I didn’t expect that Zhong Junhao would be the first person to visit me.
What surprised me even more was that he actually came all the way from Country A just for me.
Facing him, I didn't know what to think for a moment.
He understood my situation and comforted me softly.
"Ms. Gu, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't worry too much. I will find a way for you."
I couldn't help but shook my head and spoke helplessly.
"The other party must have planned it well, and they want us to take the blame."
What worries me even more now is where is my brother?
Was he in danger?
Seeing my worry, Zhong Junhao continued speaking.
"I will help you keep an eye on your brother's situation, but I also found a lawyer for you today."
As he spoke, a person walked in from outside.
Before I could react, Zhong Junhao took the initiative to introduce himself to me.
"Ms. Gu, don't worry. With him here, everything will be solved."
Listening to his words, I couldn't let go.
I forced a smile and thanked him softly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhong."
Seeing my reaction, Zhong Junhao also realized that something was wrong with me.
"What's wrong, Miss Gu? What else are you worried about?"
