Beishan was very excited and stood up as he spoke, but the police officers who were watching closely pressed him back into a chair.
His hands were handcuffed, and after he was pressed down, his hands trembled incessantly on the table.
Xiang Wan gently comforted him, and seeing that his expression had calmed down, she carefully continued, "Tian Tian has to go to school and take care of her grandmother, so she doesn't have time to come see you. Will you blame her?"
Beishan suddenly turned his gaze to Xiang Wan and pleaded, "She's a good child and shouldn't be implicated because of me. Please...please, go and see her for me, okay?"
This middle-aged driver, who was busy making a living, finally revealed his vulnerable side.
"Tell me everything you've done, and I can help you."
Xiang Wan did not agree immediately; it depended on Bei Shan's attitude.
Furthermore, with police officers present, if Beishan were to reveal everything at once, it might arouse suspicion.
Beishan's gaze slowly lowered, and he shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "Even her mother refuses to come back to take care of this family. What good is it for me to beg you, a stranger?"
"Your loved ones want to see you safe and sound; they need your care. Only when you are well can they live better lives."
Whether Beishan had taken it to heart or not, when he looked up again, the sorrowful expression on his face was gone.
“I don’t know him. He’s a client I brought in. He looks very rich. I’ve driven him a few times, and we got his phone number later. That day, he called me and asked me to drink. We drank until midnight. He got drunk, and I got drunk too. I originally wanted to find a designated driver, but I don’t know why I didn’t.”
"It was early morning, and there were no traffic checks on the road. I thought it wasn't far anyway, so I figured I could save some money if I could. But then, as I was crossing the intersection, I suddenly stepped on the gas."
As he spoke, Beishan looked up at the police officers, his expression somewhat complicated, and said, "You all know what happened next."
"Why emphasize that client?" Xiang Wan asked.
"I... I suddenly have an extra 100,000 yuan in my account. After thinking about it, I think he's the only one who could have transferred it to me." Beishan said this with some unease, blinking several times as he spoke.
"Maybe they just see that you're having a hard time and are lending you money to tide you over."
“No, I’ve never told anyone about my bank account. That day when we were drinking, I vaguely remembered that he seemed to want me to do something. After the incident, I received a text message notification that 100,000 yuan had been deposited into my account. There was no one else but him.” Beishan’s voice became urgent.
Xiang Wan thought about it carefully and said, "So, if something happens to me, you'll have completed what he asked you to do, right?"
Beishan nodded uncertainly. "I want to believe him, but subconsciously I feel I shouldn't take the money. But, 100,000 yuan is very important to me, really very important!"
Has he come to see you?
One sentence stumped Beishan.
Once inside the police station, the client never showed up again.
Xiang Wan stood up, clearly not intending to ask any more questions.
Beishan was stunned for a moment, and tried to stand up, but the police officer pressed him down again. "Aren't you going to ask who he is?"
Xiang Wan shook her head. "It's all a coincidence. You had dinner with some friends, drove drunk, and crashed into my car. That's all. Why would I need to know who you were drinking with?"
As I walked out of the detention center, I took a deep breath and stepped onto the street.
Beishan wasn't lying, but it was all just his conjecture, without any evidence.
He had a drink, got into a car accident, and then made money. From a timeline perspective, there is indeed a connection, but this is just speculation.
Perhaps, she will know the answer tonight.
Meeting the driver here was just an unintentional act by Xiang Wan. The police officer would never assume that Bei Shan was instructed to harm her based on a few words from him.
But this is just the beginning, indicating that the person behind the scenes has designs on her.
Sigh, it's just not very convenient not having a system with you.
After sighing, Xiang Wan realized that after spending so much time with the system, she had unknowingly become dependent on it, which was not a good sign.
In the afternoon, the company called and asked Xiang Wan to come over and recount everything that happened that night, as they were going to conduct an investigation.
Xiang Wan used the excuse of feeling unwell to postpone it until tomorrow.
After practicing meditation in the bedroom until dinner, Xiang Wan drove to Ganglongwan Community.
This is a community that combines villas and ordinary residences. You need to swipe a card to enter and exit by car. If you are not a resident of this community, you need to register.
Xiang Wan asked for directions to Building 8, then parked her car on the roadside outside the residential area and followed the residents inside.
You need to swipe a card to get on the elevator. Xiang Wan waited for a while and then asked a resident of the building to swipe the card for her.
The process was complicated, but fortunately, we arrived upstairs just in time.
There are four households on this floor. Some residents on both sides have built cabinets in the corners of their doors to store miscellaneous items. There are no things piled up outside, so it looks relatively clean.
When Xiang Wan reached the door of room number 3, she rang the doorbell.
After ringing for a long time, someone finally came to open the door.
When the door opened, Xiang Wan was stunned to see the figure standing inside.
"Why is it you?"
Three years have passed here, but in Xiang Wan's memory, it feels like several lifetimes have gone by.
Now that this familiar yet unfamiliar face has reappeared before me, it always feels unreal.
He didn't seem surprised at all when he saw Xiang Wanlai. "Come in."
Xiang Wan stood at the door and glanced inside. He was the only one living there, and it seemed like he had lived there for a long time.
