Chapter 422 The Truth Behind the Car Accident
However, Su Xi was too lazy to expose that Bai Luwei wasn't carrying Feng Jinchen's child. The truth would eventually come out, and the lie would eventually be exposed.
If she had the time, she would be interested to see Feng Jinchen's unpleasant expression.
And the day Feng Jinchen is confirmed to be infertile, it will surely be a chaotic and noisy affair, right?
Soon, after settling Feng Nianxi in, Su Xi boarded a flight back to China.
A spirited blond-haired man on a noisy motorcycle came to pick up Su Xi.
Su Xi saw the conspicuous blond-haired man and struggled to suppress her laughter.
When the blond-haired guy saw the young woman, he almost burst out laughing.
That's right, in order to avoid attracting attention, Su Xi dressed like a trendy young woman, her body brimming with dopamine.
Attorney Qian, usually a dignified and upright man in a suit and tie, was dressed like a blond street thug.
When she got closer, Su Xi noticed that he had a row of diamond lip studs and even his eyebrows were yellow. Su Xi was truly impressed.
Attorney Qian put the helmet on Su Xi, and only after Su Xi sat down and tightened her grip on his waist did he slowly turn the handlebars.
With a deafening roar, the motorcycle taxi carrying a man and a woman, two good-for-nothing hoodlums, disappeared in a flash.
Passersby all wore expressions as if they were watching a monkey perform a trick.
However, all you can see is an afterimage.
The motorcycle taxi drove all the way to a farmhouse in the suburbs and stopped.
It was here that Su Xi finally met the legendary eyewitness, Li Yinghui.
After arriving in Z country, Su Xi transferred several million yuan to Attorney Qian, who, in turn, did his job well for the money.
In the closed, dark room, Li Yinghui was bound hand and foot to a cross.
Uh... the cross was a bit short, so the tall man had to kneel down with his knees spread apart and his hands held up above his head.
His thin wrists were already red from being bound.
It contrasts sharply with her fair skin.
The visual impact is strong.
Two meters away was a black leather sofa. Attorney Qian asked Su Xi to sit down, while he stood to the side.
Despite Su Xi's dopamine levels, she was immediately portrayed as a female gangster boss.
Li Yinghui looked up at Su Xi through her disheveled hair, her eyes revealing a palpable fear.
Su Xi understood at a glance that this was a well-trained, tainted witness who would answer any question.
Su Xi didn't keep him in suspense and asked directly, "Mr. Li, tell me, what did you see during the car accident?"
Li Yinghui pursed her dry, cracked lips and thought it over carefully to make sure she wouldn't get another beating for saying the wrong thing.
Soon, Li Yinghui spoke.
“There was a seal on the car at the time, and I saw it clearly.”
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat, and it felt as if an unknown hand had suddenly gripped her throat. Her heart ached slightly, and her breathing became rapid.
Back in China, her biggest inner demon was the possibility that her mother's death was related to Feng Jue—a blood feud so deep it was irreconcilable, a hatred so intense it was impossible for them to live together.
She was forced to spend every day with Feng Jue, and she didn't want to recall the torment that was.
Only after Feng Jue was cleared of suspicion did Su Xi finally come back to life from the nightmare.
Are we about to relive the nightmares and torments of the past?
Li Yinghui's eyes told her that he couldn't possibly be lying.
Could it be that after all this time,
Is it still a sealed jade pendant?
Just as Su Xi's heart was breaking, Li Yinghui added, "But he wasn't driving. He seemed drunk. He didn't wake up the whole time."
Su Xi?
For some reason, a murderous intent spread out. Li Yinghui thought it was his imagination, but the moment he met Su Xi's sharp and cold eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and fear and doubt appeared in his eyes.
His account was so detailed and truthful, without the slightest concealment, how could he still...?
After a quick thought, Li Yinghui hurriedly got to the point, speaking rapidly.
"The driver is... Feng Hanhai."
As he said this, he stared intently at Su Xi's expression, and sure enough, he saw that the latter's aggressive look was visibly soothed, giving her a feeling of great relief.
Li Yinghui didn't understand why, but he didn't dare to ask. With the sharp blade hanging overhead gone, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Su Xi wiped the cold sweat from her palms and said coldly, "Continue."
Li Yinghui quickly continued, "Feng Hanhai didn't intend to get involved, but a kind passerby stopped his car, so he reluctantly carried the person into the car and took him away."
But your mother's injuries are very minor; I can see it clearly. She is definitely not seriously injured and will not die.
so……"
Su Xi knew what would happen next, and she had reenacted it countless times in her mind and dreams. Each time she reenacted it, her heart felt like it was being run over by a truck, and she cried and laughed at the same time.
Why would someone take the life of an innocent, helpless, and vibrant individual for their own benefit, and yet get away with it and live a carefree and happy life?
Before these things were confirmed, Su Xi was already heartbroken.
Hearing Li Yinghui say it with her own ears, Su Xi felt as if her heart had been crushed by a car wheel, and tears flowed silently down her face.
Although the mother may not have died, it is even more remarkable that she survived such a hellish ordeal.
She couldn't imagine her situation and the pain she endured at that time.
It's understandable that Mo Qian doesn't acknowledge or want to recall the past, but perhaps her mother, Su Zining, is already dead, and Mo Qian is simply Mo Qian.
A slender hand gently wiped away her tears with a tissue.
Meeting Attorney Qian's sincere and concerned eyes, Su Xi's devastated emotions gradually calmed down.
"Are you alright?" Attorney Qian handed over a tissue.
Su Xi took the tissue, sniffed, and forced a smile. "I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Attorney Qian took out his phone and showed Su Xi the evidence. It was evidence that Feng Hanhai had fabricated the fact that the perpetrator was Feng Jue.
Both witnesses and physical evidence are available.
Attorney Qian said, "Feng Hanhai is in the capital, and he is the son-in-law of the Cao family, one of the four great families."
"Hmm, have the Mercenary Guild members arrived yet?"
"arrive."
Su Xi took out a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Then we will immediately go to the Cao family to demand the people, and bring Li Yinghui with us."
The Cao family's power should not be underestimated, but they shouldn't be too arrogant when facing the mercenaries she hired at high prices.
Soon, at the Cao residence.
When Cao Qin rushed home after receiving the news, she was met with a swarm of intruders. Instead of paying attention, she first glared at her good-for-nothing husband.
He said coldly, "Feng Hanhai, what trouble have you gotten me into this time?"
Feng Hanhai shrugged, not daring to utter a sound.
Cao Qin then sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and her handsome and fit bodyguard bent down to light a cigarette for her.
Amidst the rising smoke, Cao Qin squinted at Su Xi and let out a mocking laugh.
"You've come to my Cao family with such a big entourage to cause trouble. I hope you really have a reason. Otherwise, even if the entire Mercenary Guild came, I wouldn't let you off the hook."
Su Xi smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Of course, I'm not that free either."
Seeing Su Xi's composed demeanor, Cao Qin showed a hint of appreciation, seemingly even more certain that Feng Hanhai was indeed the one who caused the trouble.
Taking a deep drag of her cigarette, Cao Qin blew smoke rings and glanced at Feng Hanhai. "Tell me, has that other woman come knocking again?"
Are you ever going to stop?
"How about we cut that thing off?"
Feng Hanhai waved his hand repeatedly, saying indulgently, "A Cao, I have long since reformed my ways. I was drugged by those vixens before."
This woman is mentally unstable, heartless, and deliberately seeking revenge against me, falsely accusing me of being involved in a murder case.
"Ah Cao, this woman is none other than my son's ex-wife, Su Xi. She was immoral and my son kicked her out, and now she holds a grudge against us. Can we believe anything she says?"
Upon hearing Feng Hanhai's words, Cao Qin's attitude immediately changed.
After all, Su Xi, a woman abandoned by a wealthy family, certainly has enough reason to retaliate, and Feng Hanhai may be innocent this time.
Feng Hanhai keenly noticed Cao Qin's change, his back immediately straightened, and his imposing manner returned. He turned around and glared at Su Xi, adopting the air of a father-in-law.
"Su Xi, this is not a place for you to act up and cause trouble. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now."
Do you think you're Lin Pinru, playing the role of Lin Pinru in "The Temptation of Going Home"?
Su Xi completely ignored Feng Hanhai, only glancing at Lawyer Qian.
Attorney Qian then recounted the events in a meticulous and logically structured manner.
Finally, Feng Hanhai produced a copy of the evidence that he had forged the driver of the car accident, and witness Li Yinghui was also brought up.
With witnesses and physical evidence presented, the matter is quite clear.
Cao Qin glanced coldly at Feng Hanhai, and seeing the panicked and guilty look on his face when he saw the witness, she realized that she had completely believed Su Xi.
“Feng Hanhai, I can turn a blind eye to your lustful desires, but I can’t protect you if someone dies. My daughter can’t have a murderer as her father.”
I will draft a divorce agreement and sign it.
After saying that, ignoring Feng Hanhai's shocked and ashen face, he politely addressed Su Xi,
"Miss Su, please wait a moment. You will be able to take him away soon."
Su Xi's eyes flickered slightly. To be honest, she was somewhat surprised; things were going so smoothly that it made her a little uneasy.
She nodded calmly.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Feng Hanhai dared not argue anymore, but cried out that he was wronged, "A Cao, Su Xi, that's not how it is."
It is true that I hit Su Zining with my car, but it was not intentional, and her death has nothing to do with me.
She died from minor injuries; it was due to her own health issues. She must have had some hidden illness that caused her death, and it has absolutely nothing to do with me.
Su Xi stared at Feng Hanhai, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
But she didn't want to lower herself to the level of this inhuman creature, and simply said coldly,
"Then why didn't you investigate the cause of death afterward, and instead fabricated evidence to frame Feng Jue?"
Feng Hanhai said, "It's not a glorious thing to cause an accident while drunk. Moreover, Feng Jue is exceptionally talented and has always been favored by my parents, so I wanted to frame him and put the blame on him."
Since we're trying to frame Feng Jue, the worse the accusation, the better. That's why I don't have the time to investigate the real cause of Su Zining's death.
Seeing Feng Hanhai's utterly unrepentant expression, Su Xi realized for the first time that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.
Despite the intense, throbbing pain in her heart, she was smiling—a smile that must have looked awful and sinister.
Upon seeing Su Xi's smile, Feng Hanhai felt a sense of fear towards this useless daughter-in-law for the first time, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
He panicked for a moment, his eyes darting around, and the instant he saw Li Yinghui...
He seemed to suddenly remember something, and said in a series of sentences,
"And then there's this Li Yinghui, who only knows one side of the story and not the other. He's stubbornly convinced that I deliberately bribed the doctor to cause a medical accident. Not only did he not call the police, but he also extorted money from me."
This kind of person is addicted to gambling. Every time he loses all his money, he makes exorbitant demands. I couldn't tolerate it any longer, so I sent people to hunt him down.
This kind of morally bankrupt witness is completely unreliable.
As he spoke, disregarding the gazes of everyone present, he turned and knelt down at Cao Qin's feet, tears streaming down his face, and said...
"Ah Cao, you have to believe me, I really didn't do this."
Cao Qin knew Feng Hanhai, and he didn't seem to be lying.
Although she had long been fed up with Feng Hanhai, if it wasn't something serious like murder or arson, but rather a trivial matter like framing someone—commonplace in wealthy families—she couldn't let him go.
Otherwise, others might think she was afraid of Su Xi.
In fact, if Su Xi had privately flattered and begged her, pleading and playing the victim, she might have agreed to "extra" Feng Hanhai to her.
But now, with them coming to snatch her away in such a grand manner, she's the one protecting this deadbeat, Feng Hanhai.
At this moment, the prepared divorce agreement was also brought up.
Feng Hanhai's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and he knelt at Cao Qin's feet, shaking his head incessantly, looking exactly like someone acting in an incredibly cringeworthy old-age idol drama.
Cao Qin took the agreement casually; the white document made her fingernails appear even more vividly red.
The next second, she tore the divorce papers to shreds.
As snowflakes fluttered down, Feng Hanhai wept with joy, while Su Xi's expression turned cold.
She had a feeling things would take a turn for the worse, and to her surprise, they really did.
"I'm sorry," Cao Qin said, looking at Su Xi, but her tone and expression lacked any remorse. Instead, it conveyed a sense of cold-bloodedness and the insidious arrogance of a powerful business bullying its customers.
“You can’t take him away. This evidence only proves that he hit someone and caused minor, non-fatal injuries. As for how Su Zining died, I believe it’s related to my husband. Miss Su, please leave.”
Su Xi choked up.
However, Su Xi also understood that Cao Qin was right; her mother's death might indeed not have been caused by Feng Hanhai.
There may be more to this story than meets the eye.
but……
Su Xi composed herself and said calmly,
"Su Zining is none other than his former in-law."
He bumped into his own in-laws and then framed his own brother. Such a terrible family matter cannot be left unresolved.
"I'll take him to the Feng family to explain things clearly. That should make sense, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Qin smiled, took the cigar handed to her by the butler, and after a few puffs, the smoke quickly blurred her face.
To be honest, Cao Qin looked down on Su Xi. She was too naive and foolish to come to Cao Qin's territory and try to reason with her and present the facts.
Doesn't she understand that when wealthy families talk about reason, it's never about reason, but about interests?
"Miss Su, I don't like to repeat myself."
This is a refusal.
Just as Su Xi was about to speak, she saw the butler suddenly whisper something in Cao Qin's ear, and the latter's expression immediately turned serious and shocked.
Su Xi has excellent hearing, but they were speaking too softly. Su Xi could only hear them saying something like "she has someone backing her up."
Su Xi chuckled self-deprecatingly; she must have misheard. She was already all alone; who would stand up for her now?
However, Cao Qin's attitude immediately underwent a 180-degree turn, and she laughed,
"Miss Su, you can take her with you. Please wait a moment."
Then Su Xi watched as Cao Qin quickly signed the divorce agreement, forced Feng Hanhai to sign and put his fingerprint on it, all in one smooth motion. Finally, she stood up and gave Su Xi a meaningful look.
"The person is yours now, excuse me."
Soon, the crowd dispersed like a receding tide.
In the large living room,
Only Su Xi's group and Feng Hanhai were left, staring at each other alone and forlornly.
This made Su Xi look exactly like a female gang leader.
This made Feng Hanhai appear even weaker and more helpless.
Su Xi was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses.
The wicked father-in-law was just returned like that?
Su Xi was truly surprised that things went so smoothly. She was also surprised that Cao Qin was so clear about right and wrong and even put family members aside for the greater good, which she admired.
As for the claim that she has connections, that's definitely a misheard idiom.
Su Xi ordered someone to bring Feng Hanhai along, and chartered a plane directly to Luocheng.
When she and Attorney Qian arrived at the Feng family villa with Feng Hanhai...
The Feng family was holding a banquet to celebrate Bai Luwei's pregnancy.
The event was bustling with guests.
Su Xi slightly curved her lips.
With her arrival, the banquet will only become more lively.
