Chapter 290 How Did You Hit Someone?
Cai Wenhua found it strange. Huo Chenzhou was clearly Huo Xinran's brother, but why didn't Huo Xinran call him brother? Instead, she kept calling him Commander Huo, which sounded awkward. He called him Commander Huo because he hadn't yet gained Huo Chenzhou's approval. For Huo Xinran to call him Commander Huo made it seem very distant.
He stared at Huo Xinran, the seeds of doubt already taking root in his heart.
Huo Chenzhou did not answer Huo Xinran's question, but another soldier gave him a rough timeframe.
Huo Chunyan's accident happened in the morning.
Huo Xinran's brows immediately relaxed, and she quickly said, "I only bought the bicycle this afternoon. I didn't go to see Huo Chunyan at all this morning. I have an alibi. This matter has nothing to do with me. Besides, I only went to see Huo Chunyan this afternoon. At that time, she was in the hospital. I didn't know anything about this. Otherwise, why would I go to her house to look for her?"
The soldier said, "You probably went to see her because you wanted to know if she was alright."
Huo Xinran denied it outright: "No, anyway, I said I didn't buy a bicycle this morning. You've arrested the wrong person. I'm being framed."
"Then why did you look so happy when you heard that Comrade Huo Chunyan had a miscarriage?"
Huo Xinran: "..."
She was very happy. Ever since Huo Xinran became pregnant, she had been cursing Huo Chunyan to miscarry. Now that she had achieved her goal, she felt that this was a really good thing.
But in front of so many people, she should have been able to control her emotions. Did she already show happiness on her face?
Huo Xinran pursed her lips, her expression somewhat detached.
Just then, a soldier arrived with an old lady.
The soldier said, "Sir, you are the only witness. Come and see if this is the car."
The old lady, wearing reading glasses, carefully examined the bicycle. She touched it all over and suddenly noticed the red scarf tied to the front of the bicycle. She then confirmed, "Yes, this is the bicycle, the Flying Pigeon brand bicycle, and the red scarf on the front. I'm very sure it's this one."
Huo Xinran: "?"
She started to realize something. Could it be that this car hit Huo Chunyan and that person ran away, which is why they sold the car to her? No wonder that person was in such a hurry to get rid of the car even at such a low price. He must have known he was in trouble, so he couldn't ride the car anymore and was afraid of being found out.
Isn't she a complete innocent victim?
She thought she was lucky, but it turned out she had clearly fallen into a trap.
Even a dog wouldn't buy this bicycle.
No, she wouldn't even accept it if it were given to her.
This is a hot potato.
The soldier asked again, "Can you still remember people? Is this the person you see?"
Huo Xinran breathed a sigh of relief. If she guessed correctly, the man who sold her the bicycle was a middle-aged man, and she was very different from him. Since the old lady had seen him, she would definitely clear her name.
She looked at the old woman and said confidently, "You'd better understand, I'm not that kind of person."
The old lady's eyesight wasn't very good; she wore reading glasses and only remembered seeing a figure from behind. As for what that figure looked like, she couldn't recall clearly.
That's how people are; the more they try to recall something, the more their minds go completely blank.
But since she's already here, I can't just say I don't know.
Anyway, she saw the bicycle at the time, so it must have been the girl in front of her who did it.
Then the old lady pointed at Huo Xinran and said, "Yes, that's her."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xinran was dumbfounded. She said incredulously, "Take another look. You must be mistaken. I wasn't here all morning. I was home the whole time. How could that person be me?"
She wanted to find someone to testify for her, but she was all alone at home today, and no one around knew about it and could testify for her. Suddenly, she felt like she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the river.
Seeing her reaction, the old lady thought she was angry and embarrassed, and that she must have been exposed. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's you. You're the one I saw this morning."
She did help the soldiers catch a bad guy, which was what she should do.
Huo Xinran: "?"
She had a lot of curses swearing at her. She realized that the old woman was doing it on purpose. She pointed at her, her tone becoming angry: "Old lady, I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to harm me? I just don't understand, we've never even met, why are you slandering me like this?"
At this moment, Cai Wenhua looked at her with some suspicion: "Xinran, did you really do this?"
Huo Xinran was even more furious: "Cai Wenhua, you are such a scoundrel! You won't help me, and you even say such things. I've already said that this matter has nothing to do with me. I've been at home all morning, but unfortunately, no one can testify for me."
If she had known she would be framed, she should have gone out on purpose that morning so that someone would see her and testify on her behalf. Now look what's happened; someone is framing her, and she can't even defend herself. Even Cai Wenhua doesn't believe her, let alone anyone else.
This feeling is truly frustrating.
Huo Chenzhou also doesn't believe Huo Xinran now. He said, "Sun Baojun said that after we find her, we should bring her over so he can see her. You should bring Huo Xinran over there."
So the soldier took Huo Xinran away, with Cai Wenhua following behind, asking worriedly, "Where are you taking her?"
Inside the ward, Sun Baojun stayed by Huo Chunyan's side.
The doctor said that Huo Chunyan would most likely wake up before tomorrow, and as long as she woke up, she would be fine. However, Sun Baojun also knew that there was a risk that she might not wake up, and then he would lose Huo Chunyan.
He didn't witness Huo Chunyan's accident, but he had already imagined the scene in his mind. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He should have beaten the person who crashed the car and fled, so that he could also experience what it's like to be lying in a hospital bed.
When the soldiers brought the person to Sun Baojun, Sun Baojun's fists hardened. He stepped forward and punched Huo Xinran, gritting his teeth and saying, "So it was you who harmed Chunyan. Let me tell you, I am not a man who pities women. If Chunyan doesn't wake up, then you can go and die with her."
Huo Xinran was stunned by the blow. She cried out in pain, "I already said I didn't do it, how could you hit me?"
Her first marriage was a failure; Li Chao frequently abused her. But since her divorce and subsequent marriage to Cai Wenhua, she has never been beaten again. Now, after being beaten by Sun Baojun, she feels excruciating pain.
Sun Baojun got angry when he saw her like this.
