Zhou Shengren pulled Zhou Chen aside and asked, "Did you run into her at the hospital?"
Zhou Chen glanced at Lin Wan and said in a low voice, "Yes, I just brought her along the way."
"The Lin family knows about it, right? Why hasn't anyone come yet?"
"From what I heard when her sister called her, it seemed that the rest of the Lin family refused to come and see Lin An."
After hearing this, Zhou Shengren's face turned even uglier. He turned to Qin Siye and asked, "What did the police say? Have they caught the murderer?"
Master Qin frowned and said in a low voice, "Not yet."
"The poison was put in the beverage. Xu Mo gave the beverage to Lin An. However, according to the investigation, the company's beverages were all ordered by the administrative staff from the convenience store downstairs."
"To make things easier, convenience store clerks would put the drinks Xiao An's company ordered on a shopping cart outside the store in advance, and then take it to the company when the administrative staff arrived."
"The police reviewed the surveillance footage and found a suspicious person touching a drink outside the convenience store in the early morning. However, that person was disguised, wearing a mask and hat, making it difficult to identify them and catch them."
Zhou Chen retorted, "He poisoned all those bottles of drinks from the company?"
"No, only two bottles of cucumber-flavored drinks were poisoned. The company's administrative staff said that Lin An only likes this flavor of drink, and he is the only one in the whole company who likes to drink it. The person who poisoned him must know Lin An very well."
Zhou Shengren said coldly, "The police are urging us on."
"Okay," Fourth Master Qin replied respectfully.
Zhou Ya and Lin Wan were sitting on chairs in the corridor when the old lady glanced at them and said, "Lift your feet."
Both of them stood up very politely and stepped aside.
Lin Wan picked up the scattered tissues nearby and put them in her dustpan.
"Thank you, young lady." She looked at Lin Wan, whose eyes were red and swollen, and said, "Young lady, don't cry. Every cloud has a silver lining."
......
Xu Mo, on the other side, had already received Lu Miao.
Lu Miao sat in the back seat of the car and called Grandma Liu: "I might not be able to come back for the next couple of days, please take good care of Xiaobao for me..."
As Xu Mo listened to Lu Miao on the phone, he felt a surge of emotion. Good deeds bring good results, and everyone Lin An had helped was repaying him in their own way.
The wind and rain outside were pounding against the car windows, and Xu Mo turned on the traffic radio.
"We are now broadcasting an emergency typhoon warning and road condition information. According to the Municipal Meteorological Bureau, Typhoon Niya made landfall on the east coast of our city this afternoon, accompanied by heavy rainfall. Road visibility is less than 30 meters. Please take precautions and reduce outdoor activities. Due to the typhoon, there is extensive flooding on Weiyang Road, Fuqiang Road, and other sections, with water depths exceeding 30 centimeters in some areas. Please take detours."
Xu Mo looked out the window. Visibility was extremely low, and raindrops were hitting the ground densely. Everything outside was a white blur, making it impossible to see clearly. The sky was pitch black, with occasional flashes of lightning. Fortunately, there were almost no cars on the road. In this kind of weather, everyone was very obedient and stayed at home as much as possible.
“We only have Weiyang Road as our route into the city; there’s no other way around,” Lu Miao reminded us.
“I know, we have no way to detour and we can’t afford to wait.” Xu Mo patted the steering wheel and said, “Thirty centimeters of water is no big deal. You have to trust this car, and with my superb driving skills, I’ll definitely get you there safely.”
Lu Miao glanced at the Maybach's center console and said nothing more. It would be a miracle if someone his age still believed the weather forecast. They said it was thirty centimeters deep, but how deep the water was, we'd have to see for ourselves.
Xu Mo had naturally thought of this as well. He glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Can you swim?"
"Yes, I won a swimming championship when I was young, so you can drive with confidence." Lu Miao didn't mention that the swimming competition he participated in was organized by the community, and the participants were a group of old men who came to collect eggs.
Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief as the Maybach sped onto Weiyang Road, its four wheels splashing water as high as a person.
They passed through nearly ten flooded sections of road, large and small, without any major incidents. Xu Mo glanced at the navigation and saw that they had reached the end of Weiyang Road. Once they passed Weiyang Road, they could directly access the city expressway and drive straight to Tonghua Hospital.
Outside, the wind and rain were raging, and inside the car, you could hear a pin drop. Both of them held their breath; they were just a hair's breadth away from leaving Weiyang Road.
Xu Mo kept praying in his heart, hoping that God would bless him and that he could enter the city smoothly.
Suddenly, a reflection appeared in his field of vision. Xu Mo slowed down and saw a traffic police vehicle parked about 20 or 30 meters away. Three or four traffic police officers in raincoats were waving at them, signaling them to stop.
Xu Mo finally saw that behind the traffic police was a huge body of water, and the roof of a car was visible not far from the water. If it were in the past, when there was nothing else to do, he would definitely get out of the car to take pictures and record the lake on the road.
But he wasn't in the mood for that right now. He turned to the little old man in the back seat and said, "Fasten your seatbelt."
Lu Miao knew what he was going to do and didn't stop him. Xu Mo then said, as if to comfort him, "Do you know how heavy my car is? 2.7 tons. It can even drive in water. It's a 7 million yuan car. Even a god can't stop it."
Xu Mo waved to the traffic police outside the car window, signaling them to move aside, and then floored the accelerator.
The car vibrated, then suddenly accelerated, reaching 180 kilometers per hour within seconds, and continued to speed forward with a roar.
The Maybach plunged into the water, where the surrounding water walls immediately pressed in, creating enormous resistance. The roaring twelve-cylinder engine reached its maximum power, struggling to propel the car forward underwater.
Several traffic police officers were stunned and stood there. In the blink of an eye, the car in front of them had disappeared into the water. They cursed inwardly. On a rainy day, they encountered someone trying to commit suicide. They were driving luxury cars and still trying to kill themselves. They were afraid they would be criticized when they got back.
One of the quick-reacting traffic police officers was about to take off his raincoat and go into the water to rescue the person when he saw the Maybach roar and break through the water.
He gaped in astonishment—money can buy anything! The car showed no sign of stopping and sped toward the city expressway.
Xu Mo released his foot from the accelerator, panting heavily. He saw the road again. Damn it, the car was flooded and totaled!
Lu Miao, sitting in the back seat, breathed a sigh of relief: "How much longer until we get to the hospital?"
"Sit still, ten minutes!"
