Chapter 63: Reshuffling the Cards She seemed to be trying to play the role of this world...
When Wen Yi was about to leave the forensic room, the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang.
She frowned subconsciously, she hated answering unfamiliar calls the most.
She took out her cell phone and saw an unknown number. She hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to answer it.
Ever since she woke up, everything around her became weird and uncontrollable, and she didn't want to miss anything that might be related to her.
She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, are you Ms. Wen Yi?"
"Yes, I am."
"This is the Yunhu City Traffic Police Detachment Accident Handling Center. This morning, we discovered a single-vehicle accident involving your BMW SUV on Qinghe Highway. The vehicle crashed through the guardrail and went down the shoulder of the road. The owner appears to have abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene. We've contacted you through the vehicle information. Please come to the traffic police department to cooperate with the investigation..."
She was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't hear clearly what the traffic police said next.
Did she drive this morning?
She didn't even know she had a car in her name!
"Ms. Wen? Can you hear me?" the voice on the other end of the line continued, "Please come to the traffic police department as soon as possible to assist with the matter."
"I..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, so she could only nod subconsciously.
After hanging up the phone, she stood there, clutching the phone, her heart beating like a drum.
No, this is not right! Her mind was blank, and she had no memory of the accident the traffic police had described.
After waking up, she felt that she had not returned to her original world. She was more like a soul that had forced its way into this body, trying hard to play the role of "Wen Yi" in this world.
Who is she now?
She walked out subconsciously, her steps a little unsteady.
After taking a few steps, she noticed someone approaching from behind.
Wen Yi turned around and saw the tall policeman walking towards her quickly, nodding at her while talking on the phone.
He took two steps towards her, hung up the phone, and looked into her eyes: "You want to go to the traffic police department, right?"
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Do you know how to get there?" he asked.
She shook her head.
He stepped out of the office first: "I'll take you there, it's on our way."
Wen Yi couldn't help but frown. This policeman was too enthusiastic. She didn't ask him for help.
The other party did not give her the chance to refuse. He was already standing at the end of the corridor, motioning her to follow.
The traffic police detachment and the public security bureau are not in the same place, but they are within walking distance. Wen Yi followed his advice and decided to walk to the traffic police department.
It is already the end of summer, but Yunhu City is still extremely hot. The constant chirping of cicadas makes people feel restless.
The enthusiastic policeman walked slowly in front to lead the way. Wen Yi followed behind him all the way and couldn't help but look up at him.
The man didn't feel hot even though he was dressed in black.
"What's wrong?" The policeman seemed to notice her staring at him, paused slightly, and walked side by side with her.
When Wen Yi saw him looking at her, she raised her eyes and looked back. They looked at each other silently several times, but she always looked away first.
"Nothing... I just thought you were very enthusiastic." She thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"
The policeman looked at her, his expression calm, but did not answer immediately.
Wen Yi felt embarrassed and continued walking with her head down.
The streets were crowded and difficult to walk on, and she accidentally bumped into his arm several times to avoid the crowds.
He let her lean on him, neither pushing her away nor avoiding her, and sometimes he even raised his hand to block the crowd for her.
After walking halfway silently, he suddenly spoke softly, "I heard your car had an accident. Are you... injured?"
Wen Yi was slightly stunned. This information was too well-informed.
"I guess it's okay." She said perfunctorily.
"Probably?" His tone was full of interrogation.
Wen Yi felt inexplicably irritated and didn't want to say anything more. He didn't ask any further questions.
The two of them walked to the traffic police department in silence.
They followed the traffic police to a corner of the parking lot, where a white BMW SUV was parked quietly.
The right front of the car was severely damaged, with part of the front bumper falling off and the hood still having a dent from the impact.
"This is your car," the traffic policeman said, pointing at it.
Wen Yi took a few steps closer, her heart beating faster for no apparent reason. She quietly took out the car keys from her bag and pressed the unlock button.
"Beep——" the car lights flashed and the door lock opened.
Wen Yi's heart finally died down. This was indeed her car. But she knew nothing about it, let alone what happened afterwards.
The traffic police briefly explained the accident to them: "Surveillance footage shows that the vehicle was driving normally somewhere on Qinghe Highway when it suddenly lost control, crashed through the guardrail, and slid down the shoulder of the road. Fortunately, no other vehicles or people were injured or killed."
The traffic police looked Wen Yi up and down, then asked, "Can you explain what happened?"
"At that time..." She hesitated, "Well, I was very scared at that time."
After talking for a long time, she couldn't make any sense, so she could only admit in a low voice: "I don't remember what happened."
The traffic police officer frowned upon hearing this: "Have you been drinking alcohol? Or...using any illegal drugs?"
Wen Yi immediately shook her head: "No, no."
The other party was not buying it: "It's been less than three hours since the accident. We need to test you."
"What...test?"
The traffic police officer said coldly: "We need to do a breathalyzer test and a blood draw."
Blood draw? She hates blood draws the most!
Wen Yi was instantly startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She subconsciously looked at the policeman who was standing silently not far away. When their eyes met, she hurriedly looked away.
What's the point of looking at him? She doesn't even know who he is.
She followed the traffic police back to the detachment anxiously, and someone came forward with an instrument: "Please cooperate."
The breathalyzer was handed to her and she blew into it as instructed.
The instrument beeps, and then the green light comes on—[Alcohol content: 0mg/100ml]
The tester took a look at the results, said nothing, and just nodded.
"No problem." The traffic police said calmly, "The next step is a blood test."
Wen Yi was about to follow the staff to the testing room when she could clearly hear footsteps behind her - the policeman was still following her.
She couldn't help but turn around and whispered, "Thank you for sending me here... I can handle it from now on, so I don't need to bother you with me."
After a moment of silence, he nodded gently: "Okay."
After having her blood drawn, Wen Yi held the cotton ball on her arm, thinking about what to do next.
"Miss Wen! Did you hear my question?" A voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
She suddenly looked up and looked at the traffic police in front of her blankly.
The other party looked at her helplessly and said, "Is this the car you usually drive? Has anyone borrowed your car recently?"
She said hesitantly, "Maybe... I'm not sure."
"Was there anyone else in the car at the time of the accident?"
"Probably not."
The traffic police raised an eyebrow: "Is there anything you can be sure of?"
She shook her head. "The only thing I'm sure of is that I really don't remember what happened."
The interrogation room fell silent.
The traffic policeman was almost laughing with anger, but out of professionalism, he still patiently asked, "Do you need us to contact your family?"
Family? She didn't know who to contact.
Her parents were far away in Yuexi Mountain, and the relationship between the Wen family and the Investigation Bureau was strained. She didn't want to alarm them over this matter, nor did she want to cause trouble for Wen Chi.
The only person she could think of was Gu Yifeng.
But he seemed to have completely disappeared from her world. How could she find him?
The traffic policeman glanced at her, flipped through the information in his hand, and asked casually, "Do you need us to contact your husband?"
Wen Yi was stunned: "What husband?"
"Your vehicle registration information shows that this car is jointly owned by you and your spouse." He pointed to the driving license information and said, "The car must have been bought for you by your husband."
The other party's gentle words resonated heavily in her heart, making her scalp numb.
She finally realized the problem.
The doctor's word "Mrs. Gu", the inexplicable treatment, the response from the Investigation Bureau, and the vehicle registration information all pointed to a fact she dared not face: although she was back, the original timeline had changed.
No wonder she always felt something was wrong after waking up. The subtle abnormalities in her body, the sudden change in her identity, and the different relationships with the people around her were not her illusions.
That time travel did cause a slight disturbance to the entire timeline.
Wen Yi's face turned pale and her limbs went cold. She wasn't ready to accept all this.
She slammed the table, leaned forward, and said with a suppressed tremor in her voice, "Can I ask you something?" She stared at the traffic policeman across from her. "Has there been an earthquake recently? Any news from Qingluan Mountain?"
The young policeman obviously didn't expect to be asked such irrelevant questions. He was stunned for a moment and shook his head honestly: "No...at least I haven't heard of it."
"Are you sure?"
He laughed, put down the documents in his hand, and said in a more relaxed tone: "I'm talking to you. You haven't figured out your own affairs yet, but you have time to care about the people of the world."
She slowly leaned back in her chair, still a little dazed.
Is the crisis at the nuclear power plant resolved? That doesn't make sense. She clearly failed.
The question kept irritating her nerves, and she found herself afraid to face the answer.
The most urgent task now is to find her missing... "husband". So much time has passed, why hasn't Gu Yifeng called her?
She subconsciously took out her cell phone to check, but there were no missed calls or messages.
She tried a few more phone passwords, but only to be met with a message: "Too many attempts, device locked."
She sighed and threw her phone aside. She couldn't contact Gu Yifeng, and there was no record of him in the seventh game. Where else could she find him?
She closed her eyes, and the image that emerged in her mind was a policeman whose name she didn't even know.
The traffic police officer opposite sorted out his documents and looked up at her: "You can go now, but we may need your cooperation in the follow-up investigation. We will contact you by phone when the time comes."
Wen Yi stood up as if relieved. She was about to turn around and leave, but her steps paused slightly.
"By the way!" She turned around, her tone tentative, "Can you tell me the contact information of the officer who just brought me here?"
The traffic policeman raised his head and glanced at her with a hint of surprise: "He is not from our traffic police team."
Wen Yi frowned slightly: "Then do you know where he is from?"
The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go ask for you."
He stood up and pushed the door open.
A few minutes later, the door was pushed open again.
The traffic police came in with a complicated look on his face: "Sorry, I asked around, but no one knows his identity."
Wen Yi stood there, speechless for a moment.
