Chapter 209 It was premeditated murder.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Assistant Xu, could you please arrange for a few people to keep an eye on the driver's house and see if they make any further moves?"
When Assistant Xu heard Jiang Xingyao speaking to him, he looked a little surprised and said repeatedly, "It's no trouble at all, Madam. Is there anything else you need? Please let me know."
Jiang Xingyao said, "Then please help me get admitted to the hospital as well."
"You need to be hospitalized? Are you injured somewhere?" Assistant Xu was even more surprised.
They chased her all the way from the orphanage to here. From the moment Mrs. Jin entered the park, Mr. Jin had been following behind her. When the car hit her, Mr. Jin pushed Mrs. Jin away immediately. Logically speaking, Mr. Jin should have been the one who was seriously injured. Why is it that Mr. Jin was not hospitalized, but Mrs. Jin was?
Jiang Xingyao said, "Since they came for me, no matter what their purpose is, they certainly won't give up so easily."
"By spreading the news that I'm seriously injured and bedridden, if their goal is to kill me, they'll naturally come looking for me. If they have other plans, they'll definitely reveal their true colors."
“Wow, that’s great, Madam. I’ll get right on it.”
Assistant Xu not only arranged for Jiang Xingyao to be hospitalized, but also arranged one for Jin Qingyu, placing him in the bed next to Jiang Xingyao's.
Since it was a sting operation, Jiang Xingyao didn't refuse Jin Qingyu's request to stay.
The hospital admission procedures had just been completed when Madam Rongyue rushed over. As soon as she saw Jiang Xingyao, she asked anxiously, "Yaoyao, are you alright? How badly are you injured? If I had known we would encounter this situation, I should have gone with you."
Your hands, you…”
As Madam Rongyue spoke, her gaze fell on Jiang Xingyao's hands, and she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
To make the performance more realistic, Jiang Xingyao had thick bandages wrapped around her hands and legs, which looked quite eerie.
"Aunt Yue, I didn't..."
Jiang Xingyao looked at Madam Rongyue's concerned expression and was about to explain when there was a knock on the door.
Assistant Yu has arrived.
After she entered, she acted even more dramatically than Madam Rongyue: "Miss Jiang, what exactly happened? How did you get so badly injured?"
It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to meet me at the park today, you wouldn't have run into this mess.
Oh dear, your hand, this is…
"Her bones are broken, but at least she survived. However, she'll probably need to recover for a year or two." Jin Qingyu answered Assistant Yu's question on Jiang Xingyao's behalf with a stern face.
Assistant Yu said, "What? How could this happen?"
Miss Jiang is going to participate in the Golden Music Cup Piano Competition within two years. If she has to take a year and a half to recover her hands, wouldn't she not even have time to practice?
"Then how can we participate in the competition? How can we win glory for our country? How could something like this happen out of the blue?"
Assistant Yu's voice grew increasingly surprised. She brought up the timing of the Jinle Cup competition and the inconvenience caused by Jiang Xingyao's injury. She analyzed everything in excessive detail, as if she were implying something.
Jiang Xingyao originally didn't want to doubt her, but now that Assistant Yu was being a bit deliberate, she couldn't help but have doubts.
Jiang Xingyao also sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect it to happen at this critical moment. It's a small matter that I got injured. What I'm worried about now is whether Aunt Yue can find a suitable person to train again in such a short time."
Jiang Xingyao looked worried, and Madam Rongyue felt sorry for her. She comforted her, "Yaoyao, don't think about so much. The most important thing now is your health. You must take good care of this hand and not be careless."
Madam Rongyue's concerned words made Jiang Xingyao feel a little guilty. Aunt Yue was genuinely good to her, and she shouldn't have kept Aunt Yue in the dark.
But now that Assistant Yu was acting strangely, Jiang Xingyao had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue probing. She said, "Aunt Yue, I'm sorry for letting you down this time. I'm afraid I really can't participate in the competition with you. In such a short time, how can you find a suitable replacement? If Assistant Yu could spare the time, that would be great. After all, you've worked together for many years, and now I'm afraid only she can replace me."
"this…"
“I can, Aunt Yue. If you really can’t find a suitable candidate, I can go in place of Miss Jiang.” Madam Rongyue was still a little hesitant, but Assistant Yu couldn’t wait to finish her sentence.
Her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have shed the dejection and fatigue she had felt during the day.
Even though Jiang Xingyao already had a guess, seeing Assistant Yu's impatient attitude still made her feel utterly disheartened.
Madam Rongyue hesitated, "But your family... you've only just gotten married, and your child is still young, I'm afraid it's not suitable..."
“Aunt Yue, you can’t find anyone more suitable than me right now. After all, this is a great thing to bring glory to the country. Please explain to my family for me, and they will definitely understand,” Assistant Yu said.
She became increasingly impatient.
Jiang Xingyao also discerned another meaning from her last sentence: it seemed that Assistant Yu was not doing well in her husband's family after marriage, otherwise she would not have asked Madam Rongyue to plead for her family.
She clearly regretted getting married, which is why she repeatedly probed Madam Rongyue about her situation during the meal.
When she realized that there was no longer a place for her beside Madam Rongyue, she immediately began to plot against her, which was nothing short of a murder.
Jiang Xingyao's palms turned cold because of this truth. It turns out that some people thought that other people's lives were so cheap in order to achieve their own goals.
She said, "Assistant Yu, you're really going to any lengths to get back to Aunt Yue's side."
When Jiang Xingyao spoke to Assistant Yu again, her voice was no longer gentle at all.
"Miss Jiang, what do you mean by that? When you had that accident, I left my family and business behind to help you out. How come it's my fault now?" Assistant Yu's expression stiffened before she questioned him.
“Yes, I also want to know why it’s such a coincidence. I had just finished meeting with Assistant Yu when the accident happened, and the only person who could replace me was Assistant Yu,” Jiang Xingyao said.
"You suspect that I orchestrated this car accident? Ms. Jiang, you know that I just got married not long ago and have a one-year-old baby at home. Who would be willing to leave home at a time like this?"
If it weren't for Aunt Yue's years of nurturing me, and now that I'm in urgent need of help, how could I possibly agree to this?
"Miss Jiang, don't you know how important your hands are? To injure them at this crucial moment and then try to shift the blame onto me is going too far." Assistant Yu's voice grew urgent and aggressive as she spoke.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Your in-laws haven't treated you well, have they? You've been with Aunt Yue for so many years and participated in all sorts of performances. You should have accumulated quite a bit of savings, but now I've seen you three times, and you've changed into three different outfits, none of which have any brand names."
Compared to when I saw you a year ago, you have many more wrinkles on your face. Is it because after getting married, you suddenly realized that this was not the life you wanted, and began to miss the days when you were with Aunt Yue?
So you repeatedly tested Aunt Yue's opinion of me, and after realizing you couldn't interfere, you wanted to destroy me and replace me. Am I right?
Jiang Xingyao had now completely calmed down. She looked at Assistant Yu and clearly stated her guess.
Shock gradually appeared on Madam Rongyue's face: "Did you really do this?"
"How could that be? Aunt Yue, don't listen to her nonsense. That's hiring someone to commit murder. How could I dare?" Assistant Yu quickly denied.
Jiang Xingyao said, "It's very simple to prove this. Just call your parents-in-law and your husband over and tell them in person that you want to replace me and go abroad for two years of training. Do you dare?"
When Assistant Yu's gaze met Jiang Xingyao's eyes, it began to dart away: "This is just your imagination. Why should I prove it to you?"
Aunt Yue, I was just trying to help. Since she's so ungrateful and insists on doubting me, then I'll just pretend I didn't say anything.
Assistant Yu was furious and made to leave, but Jin Qingyu said, "No need for that. Stop her and check her phone."
"You dare? Do you know that what you're doing is an invasion of privacy? I can sue you." Seeing Assistant Xu blocking her way with two bodyguards, Assistant Yu's face became even more panicked. She raised her voice a lot, trying to intimidate Jin Qingyu in this way.
Jin Qingyu said, "Once my people have finished their investigation, you can sue if you want. I hope that by then you'll still have the courage to call the police."
Assistant Xu had already swiftly retrieved Assistant Yu's phone. The phone itself didn't reveal anything, but Assistant Xu directly contacted someone to remotely hack into Assistant Yu's phone and repaired the chat history, successfully finding a large transfer.
The transfer took place seven hours ago, shortly after Jiang Xingyao and her group finished their meal with Assistant Yu.
Assistant Yu was very cautious; after transferring the money, she deleted and blocked the other party.
She probably never expected that Jin Qingyu's people could recover the messages on her phone.
Assistant Xu said, "Miss, would you like to explain where this money went?"
Hiring someone to commit murder? That's truly vicious. Don't they have any conscience whatsoever for their son?
"What's wrong with me transferring money to a friend? What can a transfer record prove?" Assistant Yu still stubbornly refused to admit it. Before she came, she had found out that after the driver crashed into the tree, the car exploded, and the phone must have been burned to a crisp. Otherwise, the police would still have been able to trace it back to her through the phone. Now, the main strategy is to ensure that there is no evidence against the deceased. She just needs to stick to her guns and deny it.
"When transferring money to a friend, you need to delete and block them immediately after the transfer."
"Have you forgotten that even if the driver's phone is destroyed, he still has relatives and friends? Do you think his family wouldn't know his account? Or do you think that as long as you don't say anything, everyone else will keep it from you?" Assistant Xu asked again.
