Upon hearing this, Shen Yan on the other side suddenly shut her mouth, then lowered her head and tightly closed her lips.
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense, thank you."
Just as Qiao Zhen was about to say something to liven up the atmosphere, Shen Yan suddenly looked at Qiao Zhen and smiled at her.
Qiao Zhen looked into Chen Yan's eyes, which were very bright.
It seems that Chen Yan has already let go.
Qiao Zhen thought to herself silently.
"However, do you know why I was so surprised and resentful when I first saw the two of you together?"
Shen Yan changed the subject abruptly, her eyes meeting Qiao Zhen's directly.
For some reason, Qiao Zhen's heart was beating very fast: "Why?"
“Sigh…” Shen Yan suddenly sighed, her tone filled with relief, “I’ve known him the longest, so I know a little about his past.”
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen's heart suddenly clenched: "And then..."
"So I know very well that Lu Zheng didn't like you at first."
"Why?" Qiao Zhen couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know that, but you could tell from his every word and action from the beginning, and he even planned a car accident before..."
At this point, Shen Yan's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly skipped over the topic: "No matter what, the two of you have already reached this point, so there's no point in discussing the past anymore."
But Qiao Zhen wasn't about to let the topic drop once she heard the words "car accident": "What car accident?"
Shen Yan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there are many things I can't say just because I want to. Please understand."
With things having come to this point, Qiao Zhen's premonition became increasingly clear.
Could it be...?
Qiao Zhen felt increasingly disheartened as she thought about it.
Her intuition told her that the car accident Shen Yan mentioned was the one involving her father. If that were the case, then what Gu Xijue told her would perfectly overlap with what Shen Yan had said.
Thinking of this, her heart started beating even faster.
Now, even if Qiao Zhen doesn't want to believe it, she'll have to think it over.
However, given Shen Yan's previous actions towards Qiao Zhen, Qiao Zhen still had reservations about what she said and could not fully believe her.
Shen Yan hurriedly ended the dinner and readily signed her name.
"Then I wish our cooperation a great success."
After shaking hands, Qiao Zhen returned to the company, but Shen Yan's words still lingered in her mind and could not be forgotten.
Was what Chen Yan said true or false?
Qiao Zhen did not rule out the possibility that Shen Yan might have made up the story randomly because she wanted to break the two up.
But what a coincidence that the randomly fabricated story turned out to be the same as the information someone else had told him.
She didn't want to alert anyone until she truly found out the truth.
This left Qiao Zhen feeling completely confused. Thinking about this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but open the previous files again, find the car accident report, and examine it in detail.
She saw a company logo in the bottom right corner of the car accident report.
Following this lead, Qiao Zhen discovered that the company specialized in injury assessment and accident analysis, but it went bankrupt quickly. Qiao Zhen searched the entire internet but could only find the owner's contact information.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen gritted her teeth and simply dialed the number.
Hello, who are you?
An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qiao Zhen took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and clear her mind.
"Hello, a few years ago, one of your companies conducted an injury assessment. I would like to ask if you can still access the relevant documents from that time. I am willing to pay for them."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end paused for a few seconds, then his tone revealed a hint of panic.
"Please wait a moment..."
Qiao Zhen didn't think much of it, but nodded and waited patiently.
After a few seconds, the person on the other end of the phone said again: "Okay, add me on WeChat and provide me with information about the people related to this accident. I'll try to find them for you."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was surprised that things were going so smoothly and nodded in agreement repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately added the other party's contact information.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, the person who answered asked nervously.
"Mr. Gu, was my acting alright?"
Gu Xijue stroked his chin and replied casually, "Okay, as long as she didn't suspect anything."
Shen Yan, who was standing nearby, sneered as she looked ahead: "Hmph, they're so easy to fool."
Gu Xijue lit a cigarette, glanced at Chen Yan beside him, and said with a hint of impatience, "Continue, let's see what Qiao Zhen has to say."
Upon hearing this, the man felt relieved and immediately said, "She has added my contact information. Can I send her the file you mentioned now?"
"Then don't rush. Now ask her about her connection to the accident and the purpose of her investigation."
The man nodded after hearing Gu Xijue's words.
Shortly after, Qiao Zhen received a complete and detailed report on the accident.
But it was almost time to leave work, and seeing everyone about to leave, Qiao Zhen didn't want to stay at the company any longer. She copied the files to her old USB drive and took it home.
Back home, Qiao Zhen saw Lu Zheng but had no desire to speak, only wanting to find out the truth about that matter first.
"Wait a minute." Lu Zheng wasn't going to let Qiao Zhen off so easily.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Zhen asked, frowning. Because of the urgency of the matter, she seemed to have little inner peace.
"You changed all the locks in the house, but you only left that one room for me?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, this is my constraint on you."
Lu Zheng laughed: "How do you plan to control me?"
“You are only allowed to enter and exit one room in your home. You are not allowed to enter any other rooms. In addition, I have installed a camera in your room.”
Qiao Zhen said in a serious tone, which made Lu Zheng want to laugh. "If I remember correctly, this is my house, right? Why does it sound like I live in your house when you say it like that?"
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips and explained seriously, "Because I am currently in the investigation phase, I do not have any intention of reconciling with you for the time being. Therefore, you must fully cooperate with my investigation until I find someone, and then I will decide my attitude towards you."
Hearing her serious attitude, Lu Zheng chuckled and agreed.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen decided not to stay there and turned around to go back to her room.
After locking the room, Qiao Zhen took out a USB drive and plugged it into the computer. At the same time, Qiao Zhen activated the surveillance and saw that Lu Zheng was working in his room.
Qiao Zhen glanced at it and then looked away, studying the accident report that the person had sent her in detail.
The accident report contained detailed data and assessment criteria, which indeed showed that the father's cause of death was injuries sustained in a vehicle collision.
It wasn't because my father was driving while fatigued.
