Chapter 112 Died on the Way Away From Him
“Lu Yanchuan…” Shen Li’s voice trembled slightly.
Lu Yanchuan's attention was originally focused on the pain, but he heard Shen Li's trembling voice.
Lu Yanchuan's attention seemed to be instantly diverted.
The pain seemed less noticeable at that moment, because when Lu Yanchuan looked up, he met a pair of eyes blurred with tears.
Lu Yanchuan loosened his clenched teeth, his voice hoarse but gentle, "It's alright, it's alright."
Fortunately, the care of the drainage tube does not last too long.
The medication was changed very quickly.
Even though it wasn't Shen Li who was changing the dressing after the nurse left the ward, she still broke out in a cold sweat.
Lu Yanchuan's expression had returned to normal as he looked at Shen Li's pale face.
He smiled helplessly, "I didn't want you to be discharged from the hospital so soon before, but now I... kind of regret it."
Shen Li shook her head. "I'm fine."
Despite saying that, it took Shen Li quite a while for her expression to gradually calm down.
Lu Yanchuan pondered for a moment, then picked up the tablet computer from the side, tapped the text on it with his finger, and had it read it aloud intelligently.
"Do you remember when I told you I would help you investigate your mother's case?"
Shen Li was stunned when she heard Lu Yanchuan type those words.
“We’ve made progress.” Lu Yanchuan typed this message on the screen.
Shen Li suddenly looked up at him, "Really?"
Lu Yanchuan nodded. In fact, the matter had already made some progress when he mentioned it to the Shen family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things at the Shen family's house.
Later, I didn't tell Shen Li because I felt it would be too cruel to let her, as her daughter, bear such a heavy news.
But now, seeing her worrying about his injury, Lu Yanchuan felt sorry for her, but he couldn't think of a better way to distract her.
After much deliberation, I realized that this was the only topic I could bring up.
In the end, it was still his fault. Lu Yanchuan thought to himself, if it weren't for these five years, he would have missed out on everything.
Now, it's not like we can't even find a more peaceful and harmless topic to talk about with Shen Li.
Shen Li remained silent for only a few seconds before saying, "It's Shen Wenzhong, isn't it?"
She could no longer call that man her father.
Lu Yanchuan typed on the screen, but his speed was limited.
While waiting for him to type, Shen Li remained silent for two seconds before speaking in a low voice.
"Actually, if I think about it carefully, even though I was young at the time, I remember that there was a period when his business was not doing well and he was having cash flow problems."
"But I was young at the time and didn't really understand what it meant to have cash flow problems or to do poorly in business."
"All I remember is that he was always arguing with my mother, so my mother wanted to leave him and take me with her."
"For a long time afterward, I lost all memory of the circumstances of the accident. The doctor said it was a form of self-protection."
"But over time, some memories may slowly return. But not all of them will necessarily be recovered."
"But in the memories I've recovered, on the day of the accident, my mother planned to take me away, intending to separate from him for a while and then file for divorce directly."
“That’s when the accident happened, on that very road.” Shen Li’s voice was calm, but her eyes were filled with sorrow. “On the road away from him.”
“Probably, he had already prepared everything long before that.” Shen Li bit her lip. “My mother just wanted to leave him, but he wanted my mother dead.”
Just then, Lu Yanchuan finally finished typing what he wanted to say on the screen.
The intelligent reading system read aloud in a very calm tone.
"It was indeed his plan. Although a long time has passed, many things are still not difficult to investigate."
"The truck driver who hit you back then had comprehensive insurance, and he was proactive in paying compensation and deliberately created a persona of someone who was struggling financially."
"We have received the full understanding of the victim's family, which is... Shen Wenzhong's understanding."
Hearing this, Shen Li's lips twitched. Yes, Shen Wenzhong certainly forgave him; he forgave him more than just forgave him.
The driver who caused the accident solved his biggest problem, and he was extremely grateful to him.
"So the driver who caused the accident wasn't severely punished at the time, and was released after only a few years. As for Shen Wenzhong, he received the maximum compensation from the driver's vehicle insurance, as well as death benefits from your mother's life insurance, accident insurance, and critical illness insurance."
“All in all, it’s a large sum of money. Part of this money should be yours, at least a third or more, but because you were young at the time, and he was your legal guardian.”
Therefore, Shen Wenzhong was put in charge of managing that money.
Well, that makes perfect sense.
It was flawless. Even Shen Li couldn't help but think that Shen Wenzhong, with his intelligence, couldn't have come up with such a thing.
Shen Li murmured, "...How could he have such a brain?"
She always felt that Shen Wenzhong was foolish and greedy, which was why he was instigated and used by Lu Jikang in this incident.
Lu Yanchuan quickly tapped three words on the tablet: "He didn't."
Then, too lazy to type anymore, he picked up the oxygen mask and said softly, "That's why... I haven't told you... the investigation results, because I'm still investigating..."
As Lu Yanchuan spoke, he frowned and took a few more deep breaths.
She continued, "Because I think... it wasn't necessarily his idea that came about back then..."
Shen Liming understood Lu Yanchuan's meaning, and even though he did, he still opened his eyes wide.
Just then, a familiar voice came from the ward door, "With Shen Wenzhong's pig brain, he's only good at being used as a pawn. It definitely wasn't his idea."
The owner of the voice walked in, still dressed in a low-key and somber outfit: a smoky gray top and black trousers, neither stylish nor fashionable.
Even when worn by him, he still exudes a sharp and dashing air.
He was wearing a simple baseball cap and a face mask, but it wasn't a black mask or any fancy mask.
Instead, it's the most inconspicuous and common light blue medical mask.
Such attire, in a place like a hospital, actually doesn't stand out much.
Shen Li suddenly looked up at the person who came in through the door, "Brother Xun!"
Lu Yanchuan also turned his head to look over, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on the person who came.
Ever since Lu Yanchuan began to take Shen Li to heart, he started having Zhou Yan investigate Shen Li's affairs, including those of the people around her.
Just like Shen Li's injury back then, it wasn't really a secret. If he cared, he would have known long ago.
The reason we haven't known about it for so many years is simply because we've been indifferent.
But now that he cares, it was easy for him to find out about the relationship and past between Shen Li and He Xun.
I know they are like siblings, but knowing is one thing.
When Lu Yanchuan looked at He Xun at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit wary.
