Chapter 970: General Relationship
Captain Feng's appearance was quite timely, and it solved the problem that had been making me hesitant.
I told my mother about the situation. She was silent for a moment and replied calmly, "Your father is very lucky. He can withstand this psychological blow.
Besides, what needs to be known will eventually be known, and it is impossible to keep it secret forever."
There was no emotion in her tone, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
This is completely different from my father's behavior when his life was hanging in the operating room. She seemed to have turned into the proud and cold queen mother again.
So it seems like she thinks my dad is fine and can abuse him as she pleases.
After sympathizing with my dad for three seconds, I felt that this was the mom I was familiar with.
After making an appointment with Captain Feng, I started a new round of cross-city commuting.
Lately, I've driven on the highway between two cities so many times that I no longer need to use the navigation system.
For someone like me who is bad at finding directions, this is definitely a qualitative leap.
When the agreed time arrived, Captain Feng appeared at the door of the ward with a young police officer.
My father's condition is indeed much better than before. Although he still can't sit up, the bed has been raised and he can half-lean to talk to us.
His complexion also began to turn rosy. It seemed that the food had been good recently, and his face had become rounder.
"Dad, Captain Feng and others from the criminal police team are here. They're talking about your car accident and need your cooperation in making a statement." I tried to make my voice sound calm.
My father looked at Captain Feng in confusion, then at my mother who was standing beside him, "Captain Feng? Traffic accidents... aren't they under the jurisdiction of the traffic police? Why are we troubling your criminal police team?" He obviously hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter.
Captain Feng signaled the young police officer to prepare the recording equipment, and he pulled a chair and sat down next to the bed.
He looked like he was thinking seriously, as if he wanted to organize his words well, but it was obvious that his language organization ability was just so-so. After thinking for a long time, he got straight to the point.
"Mr. Xia, after our in-depth investigation, we have determined that your case is not an ordinary traffic accident."
My dad frowned, "It's not an accident? That's..."
Captain Feng looked him straight in the eye and, without beating around the bush, dropped the bombshell: "The driver's name is Wang Gensheng. He's from Wanggou Village, Wuxiang County, Hexi Province."
At this point, my dad had begun to come to his senses and asked in a stammered voice, "Is he from Wanggou Village, Wuxiang County?"
Captain Feng nodded. "Yes, according to Wang Gensheng's confession, he was hired to deliberately cause this car accident. His goal was to cause your accidental death."
"He wants to kill me?" My father subconsciously tried to sit up straight, but he pulled the wound and hissed in pain. "Someone wants to kill me?! Who?"
From his somewhat weak voice, I knew he had guessed it, but just didn't want to believe it.
Captain Feng's voice: "Mr. Xia, do you know Zhang Erni?"
My dad was stunned: "Who?"
"Oh, she calls herself Ye Qiwen, but her ID card still says Zhang Erni."
My dad subconsciously glanced at my mom, swallowed his saliva, and said guiltily, "Uh, I know her~"
Captain Feng also glanced at my mother and asked politely, "Um...your relationship with Ye Qiwen..."
My dad's desire to survive came online, and he said hurriedly: "It's just so-so! It's just so-so!"
I was a little embarrassed to watch it. My mother frowned, glared at him fiercely, and turned away.
As soon as my mother left, everyone in the ward breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere of the subsequent conversation became obviously much more relaxed.
Captain Feng asked some routine questions, and the young policeman who came with him took notes.
Suddenly, Captain Feng asked, "Ye Qiwen said she and you have a son. Is that true?"
My dad glanced at the door and nodded, "Yes, did she hire that driver?"
My dad's reaction was much calmer than I expected, and the initial shock was no longer visible.
"Yes, according to their confessions, it was indeed Ye Qiwen who hired Wang Gensheng and informed him of your whereabouts in order to cause an accident."
My father lowered his head, his voice a little muffled, "Did she...did she say why she did this? I thought I'd been pretty good to them all these years. Aside from not getting a divorce, I've never treated them unfairly in anything else."
House and car money, what haven’t I given her?
Why does she hate me so much?!"
The young policeman who came with Captain Feng couldn't help but interject, "You didn't treat her unfairly in terms of money, but from what she said, she seems quite resentful towards you."
My dad was a little stunned. "What did she say?"
The young policeman glanced at Captain Feng, who waved his hand and said, "You talk to the victim. You're the one who talks to her the most.
After we finish talking, let me take notes. I'm going out to have a cigarette."
The young policeman's eyes lit up immediately and he stood at attention, "Yes!"
Then he consciously moved a stool and sat on the bed, pretending to be sitting at the entrance of the village chatting.
I also sat on the accompanying chair beside me. My father looked at me helplessly. He must have felt a little uncomfortable with his own daughter eating the melon.
The young policeman had no psychological burden at all. He cleared his throat, slapped his thigh and started talking.
"I'm the only one in our team who knows this matter best, so let me explain it to you from the beginning.
Your three... cough cough, I mean Ye Qiwen, my goodness, she cried so hard when recording her statement, and those who didn't know would think she was the victim~"
The young policeman described the situation vividly, like a storyteller: "She said that her family was extremely poor, they had to eat coarse grains and had nothing in their house, and she had to depend on others for her fortune since she was a child.
Her biggest wish is to marry a rich man."
After Ye Qiwen came out of that poor mountain village, the richest person she came into contact with was my dad.
Although my father is much older than her, he has always taken good care of himself and has not gained much weight in middle age. He is also very kind to employees in the factory. This makes him the most suitable candidate for marriage in Ye Qiwen's mind.
Although she knew my dad was married and had a daughter, she didn't think it was possible for a man this rich to have only one daughter. He definitely needed a son.
Even though Ye Qiwen knows that she is not as pretty as my mother, she thinks she is young. Men like young people, and they will get tired of their wives no matter how beautiful they are.
If she could give my father a son, she would definitely be able to become the factory director's wife.
So with this idea in mind, she finally found an opportunity to hook up with my dad.
The young policeman looked at my dad meaningfully and said, "That Ye Qiwen said that she was only sixteen when she met you. Wow, so young~~"
My dad almost jumped up, "I was innocent with her at that time, I didn't have any thoughts at all!"
I glared at my dad angrily, "So how old was she when you started to have feelings for her?"
