Chapter 728 The driver does not exist
In the car on the way back to the hospital, Ilia looked at the street scene outside the window, clenched her fists, and recalled her performance in the office in her mind.
There shouldn't be any flaws.
Yan Huai favored that bitch Tang Shishi and locked her up in the police station for so long. Not only did her parents not seek justice for her, they also planned with Yan Huai to send her away.
This couple of parents are really partial to grandma's family, so don't blame her for being rude!
When Ilia returned to the hospital, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the floor of the ward.
When she opened the door, she saw Xie Shu standing in front of the window. He turned around immediately when he heard the noise.
There was obvious worry on her face, and the corners of her eyes were red. "Ilia, I heard from the servants that you went to the company?"
Xie Shu knew that today was the day they planned to close the net.
It meant that Ilia would soon leave her side.
Ilia nodded, "Yeah."
Xie Shu looked at Ilia's expression and found that her eyes were red, probably because she had been crying. He asked with concern, "What's going on at the company? How is it?"
Ilia sneered in her heart. Xie Shu also knew the plan, but he was still acting here.
She thought her mother was good to her, but it turned out that she was still biased towards her?
Ilia pinched her thigh hard and suddenly started crying.
Xie Shu frantically patted her back, soothing her softly as if she were having a nightmare as a child: "Ilia, what's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry. Are you feeling unwell? Or did your dad scold you?"
Ilia just cried silently without saying a word.
When Xie Shu thought about Ilia leaving him, his eyes turned red and his throat felt sore.
After comforting her for a long time, Ilia finally calmed down.
After Ilia calmed down a bit, Xie Shu helped her lie back on the bed and poured her a glass of warm water. "Ilia, tell me what happened?"
Before old Wilson had time to give her the news, Xie Shu couldn't wait to know what happened.
Ilia held the water cup and briefly recounted what had happened.
Xie Shu was surprised.
Ilia actually exposed Noah?
Taking in Xie Shu's expression, Ilia cried, "Actually, I really... I really hate my brother. I wish I could drive him away and never let him come back... It wasn't until I had a car accident not long ago and saw Mom's heartbroken expression that I realized that our family's harmony and health are the most important thing."
She repeated to Xie Shu, crying, what she had said to Old Wilson and Yan Huai.
Xie Shu listened to his daughter's confession and tears fell unconsciously.
She remembered that many years ago, she and Old Wilson heard the news about Caesar and rushed to Jiangcheng in a hurry, but they were disappointed when they arrived.
After returning to Philadelphia, she was in a low mood. Ilia comforted her with her small, fleshy hands, "Mommy, brother will definitely be found."
She was not in good health during that period. If Ilia had not been by her side, she would have collapsed long ago.
Just recently, Ilia had a serious car accident while trying to save her.
Even if Ilia did something wrong, she is still her daughter after all!
How could she bear to send her away?
"Mom, I'm sorry. I've made you worry all these years."
Xie Shu wiped away the tears from the corners of Ilia's eyes with his fingers. "Silly girl, I hope you can figure it out. From now on, our family will never be separated again and we will live in harmony."
Ilia threw herself into Xie Shu's arms.
Xie Shu wiped her eyes and secretly made up her mind that she would not send Ilia away.
After crying enough, Ilia fell asleep, and the servant carried her to bed.
Xie Shuze left the ward, called her husband and told him what she was thinking.
When Xie Shu heard old Wilson say that he had given up the idea of sending Ilia away, his tense shoulders relaxed and the couple reached a consensus.
After hanging up the phone, she leaned against the wall in the corridor and breathed a long sigh of relief.
…
At the end of a narrow alley in Philadelphia's Chinatown, the sign of a Chinese restaurant has been faded by rain, and the door curtain is half-closed, revealing a dim light.
Wen Liang and Lu Yao chose a seat in the corner. The wooden tables and chairs exuded a faint sandalwood scent, and the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall was ticking, as if counting down something.
When Xin Feng pushed the door open, he brought in a gust of damp and cold wind.
He was wearing a dark grey windbreaker with water dripping from the hem, and his expression was even gloomier than the sky outside.
He looked around, walked straight to their table, pulled out a chair and sat down. Without any greetings, he said directly: "I can't find anything."
Wen Liang's fingers paused for a moment, and he pushed the ordered drink in front of him: "What do you mean?"
Xin Feng pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase and pushed them in front of her. "I checked according to the clues you gave me - the driver David Brown, a bank employee? There's no such person. And those two traffic police officers? Their police numbers don't exist. There are no such people in any police station in Philadelphia."
Wen Liang was shocked, "How is this possible?!"
She took a deep breath and lowered her voice. "I remember it clearly... David was wearing his bank badge and showed me his employee ID. He paid my medical bills and even came to see me twice in the hospital..."
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Wen Liang chose to reconcile.
Afterwards, Wen Liang recuperated in the hospital. David visited her twice until she was fully recovered and had her injuries assessed. In the presence of a traffic police officer, Wen Liang and David signed an agreement, and David paid her the remaining compensation. That was the end of the matter.
Wen Liang remembered these memories clearly in his mind. How could these three people not be there?
Wen Liang's voice gradually faded, and as if he suddenly realized something, his pupils contracted slightly, "Unless... all this is fake?"
Xin Feng paused, his eyes sharp. "That's right. In other words, the identities of the three people in your memory are all fabricated. They were acting from beginning to end."
Wenliang's heart sank.
She remembered that it was a sunny day and the ward was warm. David handed her a cup of hot tea with an apologetic smile. Two traffic policemen stood by, their uniforms neatly arranged, explaining the mediation process in a gentle tone.
She even felt that she had met the most reasonable perpetrator and the most responsible police officer.
But now, these memories suddenly became false.
"Where's the hospital surveillance?" Lu Yao suddenly spoke in a low voice, "If David really went to the hospital, the surveillance should have captured him."
Xin Feng shook his head: "Hospital surveillance is usually only kept for three months. If it's been too long, it would have been overwritten long ago."
Wen Liang bit her lip, trying to recall the details of the incident: "What about the nurse? The nurses in the inpatient department must have seen him. He came several times..."
"Do you still remember who your attending physician and nurse were at the time?"
Wen Liang thought for a moment and called out a few names.
"I'll check." Xin Feng nodded. "But you have to be prepared. If they can forge a police identity, they've probably also bribed someone at the hospital."
