"Mom, I know it's not easy for you." Xie Wenlei comforted her softly, "But grandpa and dad have their considerations, and my sister has no ill intentions. Let's get along well in the future, and maybe we can help each other." There was hope in his eyes, hoping that his mother could let go of the grudge in her heart.
Xia Jing snorted coldly: "Help? I think it's good enough that she doesn't cause trouble." Having said that, looking at her son's earnest eyes, she sighed slightly and her expression softened a little.
…
Outside the hospital, the gloomy sky was like a heavy lead sheet, making it hard for people to breathe.
Lin Yuexi walked out of the hospital gate in a hurry and headed straight towards the Public Security Bureau.
There was anxiety and persistence in her eyes. Every step she took was firm and powerful. The sound of her heels hitting the ground echoed in the empty streets, as if it was the anxious drumbeat in her heart. She really wanted to see who wanted to kill her.
Inside the Public Security Bureau, Chief Zhang saw Lin Yuexi walk in and immediately understood why she came.
In the past few days, the car accident has been lingering in his mind, and he is also well aware of how much Lin Yuexi cares about this matter.
Before Lin Yuexi could speak, Director Zhang took the initiative to come forward and said with a slightly solemn look: "Boss Lin, you are here. Regarding the car accident that night, we have immediately sent people to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
These days, everyone has been working tirelessly and not missing any possible clues.
But up to now, the vehicle that caused the accident has not been found. All the vehicles in the surrounding area have been checked, but no trace of the vehicle has been found. It is as if it disappeared out of thin air.
But don't worry, we will never let up and will get to the bottom of this matter."
Lin Yuexi frowned, and after listening to Director Zhang's words, she was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Director Zhang, I know very well that this matter is not easy, and I also know that you have tried your best. But this car accident is by no means accidental. It has threatened my life and safety, and perhaps there is a bigger conspiracy hidden."
Director Zhang's expression froze, and he nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Boss Lin, judging from the traces at the scene, the other party's methods were very skilled, and it seemed that they were well prepared. This was definitely not an ordinary hit-and-run."
He frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and thought, "We have already visited the surrounding residents and retrieved a large amount of surveillance video from a few days before and after the accident, but unfortunately we found nothing."
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "Director Zhang, I have a bold guess..."
Director Zhang said, "Boss Lin, tell me..."
"My stepmother, Xia Jing, Xie Wenlei's mother, was suddenly released from prison and is now in the hospital taking care of him. I suspect this matter has something to do with her. Can we start the investigation from her..."
Director Zhang was about to speak when suddenly a young police officer hurried into the office and whispered something in Director Zhang's ear.
Director Zhang's face changed slightly, and he immediately said to Lin Yuexi: "Boss Lin, I just received news that a burned vehicle was found near an abandoned factory 20 kilometers away from the accident site. The initial judgment is that the model matches the vehicle that caused the accident. We have to rush over immediately."
Lin Yuexi said without hesitation: "I'll go with you."
Everyone rushed to the abandoned factory, where a pungent smell of burning filled the air. The car, which had been burned to its core, was parked alone in the open space, surrounded by weeds.
Technicians are busy investigating and collecting evidence.
Lin Yuexi looked at the scene in front of her, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in her heart. She tried hard to recall, and suddenly a picture flashed through her mind - before the car accident, she had seen a car of the same model passing slowly downstairs of the company. She didn't care at the time, but now thinking about it, perhaps that was the beginning of everything.
She told Director Zhang the detail.
Director Zhang thought thoughtfully: "It seems that the other party has been secretly watching you for a long time, and this series of actions are carefully planned.
We have to start from the source of the vehicle and follow the clues to see if we can find the mastermind behind it.”
"Can we ask someone to check on Xia Jing?" Lin Yuexi suggested again.
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will send someone to investigate right away..." Director Zhang replied immediately.
After coming out of the Public Security Bureau, Lin Yuexi hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the Xie family's old house.
So many things happened these days, especially Xie Wenlei being hospitalized after a car accident. Xie Youan must not be allowed to know about it, as it would only add to the old man's worries.
The old house is as solemn and dignified as ever. When you step into it, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling hits you.
Lin Yuexi walked towards Xie Youan's room with ease, pushed open the door, and the room was filled with a faint scent of tea.
"Dad, I'm here to see you." Lin Yuexi raised a gentle smile on her face and spoke in a soft tone.
Hearing the voice, Xie Youan raised his head, put down the newspaper in his hand, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded slightly to signal her to sit down.
When Lin Yuexi saw it, she thought: It seems that my cheap dad’s illness is almost cured.
She then sat down on a chair nearby and said carefully, "Dad, there have been so many things going on in the company recently that I've been so busy that I don't have much time to come and see you. I'm really sorry."
She paused and continued, "Don't worry too much about Wen Lei's matter. When I'm done with my work, I'll definitely take some time to persuade him and let him understand your painstaking efforts."
Xie Youan listened quietly, without much expression on his face. He just nodded slightly and said slowly: "Company matters are important, so don't overwork yourself. I won't force Wen Lei, as long as he thinks it through."
The two chatted about some family matters. Lin Yuexi never mentioned that Xie Wenlei was in the hospital due to a car accident, for fear that Xie Youan would worry if he heard it.
After a while, Lin Yuexi thought the time was about up, so she stood up and said goodbye. When she left the old house, she looked back at the tightly closed door, feeling a little reluctant.
Not long after Lin Yuexi arrived at her villa, the ringtone of her mobile phone suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw that the screen showed that it was Director Zhang calling. Her heart suddenly tightened and she quickly pressed the answer button.
"Boss Lin, we investigated Xia Jing's whereabouts after she was released from prison and found that she was missing for a while on the night of the car accident. In addition, we found some hair fibers in the wreckage of the burned vehicle. Preliminary test results show that there is some similarity with Xia Jing's DNA, but further confirmation is needed."
Director Zhang's voice came from the receiver, sounding a bit solemn.
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Director Zhang, no matter what the result is, we must find out as soon as possible. If it is really her, I will never tolerate it. She first wanted to harm my child, and now she wants to harm me...!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuexi's eyes turned cold. She never thought that it was just as she suspected. Xia Jing was so bold as to hurt her again. But she didn't expect that she would end up hurting her own son.
