Chapter 124 Upon learning it wasn't an act, Lu Yan stopped his pain.
"We noticed that your company has a person named Li Yanqing. You fired him. What was the specific reason?" the officer asked.
"Is it related to this matter?" Lu Yanzhi asked.
"Ask all suspicious people a lot of questions."
Lu Yanzhi's eyes glazed over, his mind a complete mess: "Nepotism, corruption."
...
Even after Lu Yanzhi came out, he still felt that everything was unreal.
He stood against the wall in the side corridor, the sounds of the police station bustling around him at night, but his mind was filled with only the policewoman's questions.
Why didn't you answer the many calls your wife made that day?
He stared at the pale white ceiling, feeling as if his heart was being ripped apart by a giant hand, the pain excruciating.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, how are you?" Secretary Zhou rushed over, followed by the lawyer he had just called.
The lawyer has gone to communicate with them.
Lu Yanzhi simply shook his head.
On one side, Lin Zhihuan and Lin Yuchen were sitting on chairs not far away, talking.
"Brother, this really scared me. Although I've encountered things I couldn't do at work before, this is the first time I've witnessed a murder firsthand," Lin Zhihuan said softly.
“You’ve done a great job,” Lin Yuchen comforted softly. “You called 110 and 120 immediately, made sure it was safe, and did emergency treatment. I called my colleague, and that person is still being resuscitated.”
"How is it?" Lin Zhihuan asked quickly.
“Difficult…” Lin Yuchen said heavily.
"I just heard that the area has been cordoned off for a search, but I also heard that the area where the car was abandoned is surrounded by deep mountains, and the person who hid there might not be known..."
Lin Zhihuan was only halfway through her sentence when suddenly a shadow fell beside her.
She looked up and saw that it was Lu Yanzhi.
She was displeased when she saw Lu Yanzhi and stood up to leave.
"Lin Zhihuan." Lu Yanzhi called out to her.
The other party was about to leave.
"I understand," Lu Yanzhi said, clenching his fists.
Lin Zhihuan stopped and turned to look at Lu Yanzhi.
Lin Yuchen, standing to the side, frowned slightly and asked, "What do you know?"
Lu Yanzhi had felt uneasy when he was taken in for questioning.
Because both he and Lin Zhihuan had cooperated with the police before.
“I know her…” Lu Yanzhi just looked at Lin Zhihuan, his eyes slightly red, and said in a low voice, “There really was a car accident that day.”
Lin Zhihuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She was absolutely furious.
She pointed directly at Lu Yanzhi's nose and cursed, "Lu Yanzhi, I told you the other day that Niannian had been in a car accident and that you should come to the hospital immediately. You came, and you even brought Han Wei with you!"
"You think it's not enough that Niannian was hit by a car, you also have to give her a psychological shock, don't you?!"
Lin Zhihuan felt aggrieved when she thought about it. She only found out after she called Lu Yanzhi that day that Shi Nian's accident was not an ordinary car accident, but that she was deliberately hit by someone.
As Shi Nian's husband, he is highly suspected.
"Lu Yanzhi, I told you that day that she was deliberately hit by someone, and I even asked if it was you who did it. Isn't that clear enough?" Lin Zhihuan said angrily.
Lu Yanzhi opened his mouth, as if to say that he thought they were deliberately acting.
In the end, he didn't say anything.
But Lin Yuchen saw through it.
“I heard from Huanhuan that you think Shi Nian and she are acting to deceive you.”
Lu Yanzhi did not answer, but just looked at Lin Zhihuan in front of him, feeling that everything was unreal.
“Lu Yanzhi, although my father is the hospital director, hospital resources shouldn’t be used like this.”
Lin Yuchen wasn't as excited as Lin Zhihuan, but every word he said felt like a heavy hammer blow to Lu Yanzhi's heart, causing him great pain.
“That day, I went downstairs to look for you.”
Lin Yuchen said, word by word, "I did say some things that might have upset you, but Lu Yanzhi, ask yourself honestly, shouldn't you go and see your wife when she's in the hospital?"
"If you look at her medical records, you'll know exactly what's wrong with her."
Lin Yuchen looked at Lu Yanzhi's bloodshot eyes.
He said each word clearly and forcefully, "But you didn't."
“You didn’t even visit her during the long hospital stay.”
“He went to see it.” Lin Zhihuan, who was standing next to him, gave a mocking smile and said, “Didn’t he say he saw you and Niannian hugging each other?”
"Yes, I almost forgot," Lin Yuchen nodded. "Thanks for reminding me."
"But even if you and Niannian were hugging, so what? He's been seen with Han Wei a lot, always nervous and worried. Besides, you were just supporting Niannian who has difficulty moving!"
"Most importantly, he pushed Niannian off the stairwell, and yet he still managed to say such despicable things!"
"Niannian has been by his side for so many years, how much has she sacrificed for him? But in the end, she can't even get a shred of sincerity in return. Brother, he's really fed his heart to a dog!"
Lin Yuchen chimed in, "No, it was fed to Han Wei."
Lin Zhihuan sneered and said, "Oh, I know, the dog is Han Wei."
The brother and sister, one after the other, went back and forth, sometimes angrily scolding and sometimes making sarcastic remarks.
The more Lu Yanzhi listened, the more distressed he became.
He could hear the voices of the brother and sister all around him, and he felt dizzy.
He didn't visit her once during the many days she was hospitalized.
She fell down the stairwell because he pushed her, even though it was chaotic at the time and it wasn't his intention.
He also said she was acting.
My heart is being torn apart by pain.
And her car accident...
"How badly was she injured in the car accident?" After a long silence, Lu Yanzhi finally spoke, his voice terribly dry, like the sound of tree bark rubbing together.
"Can't you see clearly? Are you blind?" Lin Zhihuan said angrily, her eyes red. "And most importantly, do you know that you pushed her down the stairs?!"
“I didn’t mean to,” Lu Yanzhi replied. “That day…”
He wanted to explain, but after seeing Lin Zhihuan's eyes red with anger, he realized that explaining was useless.
Whether it was intentional or not, he did push him at the last moment.
Lu Yanzhi recalled that day in the hospital corridor, where Shi Nian stood pale and with a bandage on her head, asking them what they were doing.
And then there was the time she called out to him from behind after she fell down the stairs—"A-Zhi."
It seemed like she hadn't called him that in a long time.
I felt dizzy.
What kept appearing were her laughter, her tears, and the eyes of hers when she stared blankly at him and questioned him on the night he proposed divorce—"What about me?"
"Brother, you see, some people only make excuses for themselves and don't care about the truth of the matter at all."
"You think you can just brush everything aside with a simple 'It wasn't intentional'? That's way too easy!"
Lin Zhihuan was still making veiled accusations next to him, but Lu Yanzhi seemed not to hear them.
He felt as if all the air around him had been sucked away.
There was a strong feeling of suffocation.
