Qin Manshu led Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei to the lounge.
Ye Zhiwei had previously messaged Qin Manshu saying she was coming, and Qin Manshu had already prepared snacks and coffee in the lounge. It seemed that she knew Ye Zhiwei liked sweets, and she even ordered milk tea for Ye Zhiwei as well.
Qin Manshu, who usually sits next to Ye Zhiwei and subtly tries to get information from her, didn't stay in the lounge with them this time. She smiled and said to Ye Zhiwei, "Little cousin, I have some things to take care of right now. You can take care of it yourself first. If you need anything else, just let me know."
After Qin Manshu finished speaking, she left the lounge directly.
Ye Zhiwei immediately pulled up the surveillance footage.
This surveillance footage did indeed capture the missing part, showing that the victim was actually alive. He clearly raised his hand during the first car accident, his survival instinct causing him to do so.
At this time, other footage also appeared on the surveillance camera.
The driver who caused the accident got out of the car immediately at first. Because the driver was some distance away from the surveillance camera, it was hard to see what the driver's expression was at the time. However, Ye Zhiwei could still feel that the other party was obviously very anxious during the first car accident. He was checking the victim's condition at the time. Then he seemed to be looking for the victim's phone, as if he wanted to confirm the victim's identity. But then he only found a business card on the other party's clothes.
Ye Zhiwei covered her lips because she remembered the business card. It was the business card on the victim that led the police to believe that the victim was her father.
It turns out that there wasn't just one business card on that jacket. If the police concluded from expert analysis that the jacket belonged to the cardholder, then the driver who caused the accident must have guessed that it was the victim's own business card based on the fact that there were two business cards on the jacket. After all, other people's business cards usually don't come in pairs.
The driver who caused the accident started looking through the business cards. Soon, he saw the name Ye Qingcheng on the card. No, he might not know Ye Qingcheng. He probably saw the words "Ye Group" before his expression changed.
Even if you don't know who Ye Qingcheng is, he is the most famous person in the area, and is even considered a popular spot for internet celebrities to take photos. He is a landmark building in S City. As a driver who is familiar with all kinds of places in S City, the driver who caused the accident must know about the Ye Group.
Upon seeing the business card, he collapsed to the ground, dropping the card from his hand. Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he could sense that the man was extremely flustered. He seemed to want to smoke, but when he shakily took the cigarette out of his pocket, he couldn't even bring himself to smoke it. He took one puff and then threw the cigarette on the ground.
He picked up his phone again, but whether he was going to call an ambulance is unknown.
After a violent reaction, the man lay back down in the car.
Ye Zhiwei had not seen the complete surveillance video, so she only heard a retelling from Anna, the daughter of the previous victim, and did not know what the man seemed to be doing in the few minutes he went back to his car.
At the time, the sun was in a reflective position, and the surveillance footage found by the police was not able to show what the man was doing because of the angle. The surveillance footage from the research center could only see the side window of the car, and the situation inside the car could not be seen from outside the window.
No one knows what the man did in those few minutes; all that can be seen is that the driver, who just seemed to be filled with fear, began to ram into the already dying victim.
What followed was just a routine situation, but Ye Zhiwei's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.
Although the surveillance footage was no longer of any use, Ye Zhiwei still gleaned some information from it: when the driver hit the victim, he thought the man lying on the ground was Ye Qingcheng.
What exactly did she do after getting on the bus?
Ye Zhiwei fell silent, and Jiang Jianian also remained silent.
After a brief silence, Ye Zhiwei wanted to ask: How exactly did this driver go from fear and cowardice to committing such a cruel act of intentional murder?
However, Jiang Jianian tapped the table, and Ye Zhiwei understood that this meant she should not speak.
Ye Zhiwei had no appetite for the desserts on the table.
Jiang Jianian also stood up and said calmly, "Now that we've finished watching the video, let's go."
Seemingly considering something, Jiang Jianian slowly asked Ye Zhiwei, "Or do you want to take the video recording with you?"
"No need." Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath; seeing such a cruel scene once was enough.
Furthermore, it's impossible to discern anything from the video footage alone.
Ye Zhiwei sent a message to Qin Manshu.
Qin Manshu came in, glanced at Ye Zhiwei and the almost untouched pastries on the table, and asked, "Little cousin, is it that the pastries don't suit your taste?"
Ye Zhiwei immediately shook her head and remained silent.
Qin Manshu didn't say anything. A few seconds later, Ye Zhiwei said, "Sorry to bother you today and trouble you with so many things. We've already watched the video. Since you're so busy today, Jia Nian and I won't bother you any longer."
Qin Manshu smiled and said, "I was indeed quite busy today, so I didn't have a chance to entertain you. Little cousin, please don't mind. I'll treat you to a meal another day if I have time. Oh, by the way, I was a little disappointed not to see your cousin today. Remember to remind him when you get back that he still owes me a meal."
Ye Zhiwei smiled in response.
Qin Manshu smiled and handed the milk tea to Ye Zhiwei, saying gently, "This was specially ordered for you. If you don't mind, you can take it with you on the way."
"I was planning to take it with me on the road anyway, it would be a waste to throw it away after only a few sips."
Qin Manshu nodded in satisfaction.
Jiang Jianian watched the two of them go back and forth, and after a few seconds, he took the initiative to say, "Miss Qin, did you watch this video before you gave it to us?"
The question came out of nowhere, and Qin Manshu hesitated for a second before answering, "I haven't seen it yet. I was originally planning to take a look because of a situation involving the driver, but I've been too busy lately. As you can see, I couldn't even entertain you just now."
“Oh, so Miss Qin isn’t aware of the situation back then.” Jiang Jianian smiled. “She must be quite busy. Zhiwei and I won’t bother you any longer.”
His smile at Qin Manshu was cold, clearly a perfunctory smile that wasn't even that. He didn't care about Qin Manshu's reply at all, and after speaking, he took Ye Zhiwei's hand and left the Qin family's research center.
It wasn't until they left the research center that Ye Zhiwei asked Jiang Jianian curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask her that question? Even if she had seen it, it shouldn't be something trivial."
“Yes, even if she has seen it, it doesn’t matter. So why is she hesitating and considering how to answer appropriately?” Jiang Jianian opened the car door and let Ye Zhiwei get in.
After the car had traveled a distance, Jiang Jianian threw the milk tea in Ye Zhiwei's hand through the car window into a roadside trash can.
Jiang Jianian's attitude also illustrates one thing: he felt that Qin Manshu had a problem.
