Although the police officers knew that there were countless feuds and troubles within wealthy families, they also knew that many things were not as they seemed.
"Don't worry, Miss Ye, we will find the evidence. We will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a bad person go unpunished."
Ye Xinning knew this would be the outcome, but the police always followed the rule of relying on evidence.
She understood this perfectly, so there was no need for her to have any more complicated thoughts about it.
only……
Thinking of the car that had saved him, Ye Xinning hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Can you help me find the car that saved me?"
"Of course, we will do our best. It's just that there are no surveillance cameras on that section of the road, so it might be difficult to investigate. We will contact Ms. Ye as soon as we have any information."
Ye Xinning nodded, thanked him again, and left.
After experiencing so much that day, Ye Xinning was completely exhausted when she returned to Ming Mansion.
She went inside, and Aunt Ning was waiting in the living room. When she saw her return, she immediately got up to greet her.
"The lady is back."
"Um."
Thinking of Shen Lin, who hadn't been heard from since morning, she asked in a low voice, "Has Shen Lin returned?"
"Sir, not yet."
Ye Xinning was disappointed again, but thinking about it, it made sense.
Shen Lin didn't believe a single word she said. Under such circumstances, Shen Lin was convinced that she couldn't get over her past. He probably didn't want to see her for even a moment, so why would he come back to Ming Mansion?
She dragged her tired body back to the bedroom, took a quick shower, and lay down on the bed. Thinking about Shen Lin's indifferent departure, the car that was clearly heading for her, and the person who saved her but refused to show his face, Ye Xinning was deep in thought and her mind was in complete turmoil.
She forced herself not to think about those things and to get a good night's sleep.
But no matter how much she tried to convince herself, she couldn't fall asleep.
After several attempts, Ye Xinning sat up, picked up her phone, and after much deliberation, finally dialed "his" number.
But the phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just as Ye Xinning was about to call again, a text message came in on her phone.
It's "him".
—What's wrong? I'm busy with something and it's not convenient for me to answer the phone.
Ye Xinning didn't want to give up, since he still had things to do so late, but since she had already decided to ask him for help, she didn't want to give up now.
Five years ago, the time I lived in my father's house was completely erased. Can you help me find some clues?
The message was sent, and it took a long time for someone to reply.
—What happened five years ago...it might be difficult to understand.
This is very important to me. Can you do your best to help me?
—Okay, I'll have someone investigate.
Upon receiving this answer, Ye Xinning finally felt a glimmer of hope rekindle.
Thank you, I'm waiting for your good news.
There was no further reply from the other end, and Ye Xinning guessed that they were probably busy.
Although this method is very roundabout, and even if it is proven that she was in Nancheng during the time when Shen Lin had the accident five years ago, Shen Lin may not necessarily believe her because of this.
But no matter what, she still wanted to give it a try.
In other words, it hasn't been easy for her and Shen Lin to get to where they are now, and she doesn't want their relationship to continue to deteriorate to the point of no return.
Shen Lin didn't return, and Ye Xinning didn't sleep well all night. What she didn't know was that in a private villa in Nancheng, someone else also didn't sleep all night.
The family doctor was pacing back and forth in the villa, his face covered in cold sweat from anxiety.
The man lying on the bed was covered in injuries, a truly shocking sight. His bloodless face was enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
The person standing by the bed looked at the man on the bed, extremely worried.
"Sir, are you really not going to the hospital?"
"I'm not going."
"But what if your wound gets infected?"
The man on the bed shook his head with his eyes closed, "No."
"You've been in Nancheng for several days now, and you haven't told Miss you're here. Tonight you risked your life to save Miss. I really can't understand why you're doing this."
The person on the bed kept her eyes closed. "She... is in a bad mood. It's not appropriate to disturb her at this time."
"How is it a disturbance? Miss clearly said she was going to see you, but you stopped her from going."
"Alright," the man on the bed spoke again, his voice much colder than before.
After this reprimand, the other person also fell silent.
"Investigate thoroughly to see if the people who did it tonight were from the Huo family."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, investigate further about what happened to her in Nancheng five years ago, make sure there's nothing we've overlooked."
"good."
"Okay, go out, I want to rest."
Only the man on the bed remained in the bedroom, his gaze deep as he thought of the scene he had witnessed at the temple gate earlier that day…
So, that man wasn't that good to her...
...
The next day, Ye Xinning woke up at nearly eight o'clock.
She didn't sleep well last night, so she felt quite lonely when she went downstairs.
Today is the last day of work before the Lunar New Year. Ye Xinning put on some simple makeup to cover up her tired face.
After a busy day at the law firm, wrapping up all the work before the New Year, she received a call from Xi Yuan as she was leaving get off work in the evening.
