Upon hearing this, Lu Wenjing's handsome brows furrowed instantly. He looked down at the page and his expression turned gloomy.
He looked up at Li Wei, his voice low and cold: "Li Wei, where did you find this so-called 'Lu Yanhua's suicide note'?"
Li Wei gently pushed up his glasses. "Mr. Lu, Ms. Lu Yanhua entrusted this will to me half a month ago. Ms. Lu Yanhua instructed that if she were to meet with any misfortune, this will be handed over to Ms. Lu Rongyu. At the same time, I will arrange all related matters on her behalf."
Lu An'an found it absurd. She chuckled lightly, her tone full of sarcasm: "Half a month ago? That's really strange. I didn't know that Lu Yanhua had the ability to foresee the future. She knew half a month ago that my elder brother would encounter a fire in Yunling Village."
[This suicide note is almost identical to what Lu Rongyu said at the Lu family home; in fact, the entire piece of evidence completely absolves Lu Rongyu of any responsibility.]
Recalling the moment she took Lu Rongyu's pulse in the ward, Lu An'an's gaze involuntarily darkened, a cold glint appearing in her lowered eyes.
[After the car accident, Lu Rongyu's brain was completely spun; she acted it quite convincingly.]
Lu An'an handed the documents back to Qi Rang, slowly turned around, looked at Li Wei, paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Since Attorney Li has prepared so thoroughly, let's meet at the police station tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to Attorney Li's testimony."
"We'll head back now. Goodbye, Attorney Li."
Behind Li Wei's glasses, his shrewd eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled politely, "Miss Lu, take care."
Seeing this, Qi Rang quickly handed the things in his hand to the police officer behind him: "I'll go see President Lu and the others off."
Then, he followed Lu An'an and walked out of the hospital.
The moment Lu An'an turned away from Li Wei, her smile was instantly replaced by a chill.
After leaving the hospital in silence and confirming that there were no suspicious people around, Qi Rang finally couldn't suppress his doubts and asked in a low but urgent voice, "Was the evidence provided by Li Wei forged?"
Lu An'an nodded slightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes: "Yes."
Qi Rang was slightly relieved: "That's alright, I'll find out the truth."
However, Lu An'an's expression did not soften at all; instead, it became even colder and more frosty: "It's no use. Since they brought out that evidence, it means they are very confident that we can't find anything out."
Qi Rang looked puzzled: "Why? Your accounts are different, so the police will definitely investigate both sides."
At this moment, Lu Wenjing took out his phone from his pocket, opened the recording he had made, and played it for Qi Rang.
Qi Rang's eyes widened as the recording played, his voice filled with shock: "This... her account is exactly the same as the contents of that suicide note!"
Lu An'an pondered for a moment, then said in a cold voice, "Li Wei said that this suicide note was given to him half a month ago. Assuming he is telling the truth, it means that Lu Rongyu had already prepared an escape route for herself half a month ago."
She paused, a subtle undercurrent in her voice: "On the contrary, if Li Wei is lying, it means that they had already seen Lu Rongyu before we came to the hospital."
"Doesn't that mean Lu Rongyu... is faking amnesia!"
Lu Qiyuan expressed his speculation in astonishment.
Lu Wenjing's eyes were deep: "Not only that, if the second hypothesis proposed by An'an is true, then how exactly did they exchange information with Lu Rongyu under the police's layers of surveillance?"
Qi Rang frowned, trying to recall every detail: "After we sent Lu Rongyu to the hospital, we arranged for people to keep a close watch on her. We didn't see any suspicious people during that time, until Lu Rongyu was pushed into the emergency room... the emergency room!"
He suddenly grasped the fleeting flash of inspiration in his mind, and an indescribable shock surged within him: "We can't get into the emergency room, but... they reconnected there?!"
Lu An'an confirmed Qi Rang's guess: "Only in this way can we explain how they exchanged information. And based on my understanding of Lu Rongyu, if she really had arranged everything half a month ago, she wouldn't have put herself in such a passive situation while at the Lu family. So, I am more inclined to the second possibility: the doctor in the emergency room is from the Zhao family."
After speaking, Lu An'an looked up at Qi Rang, who seemed slightly dazed, and asked, "Captain Qi, do you remember anything unusual outside the emergency room?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Rang unconsciously tapped his chin with his fingertips and recalled, "It seems like everything was normal. After Lu Rongyu was wheeled into the emergency room, two colleagues and I waited outside. About an hour later, four doctors came out. When we went up to ask, we were told that Lu Rongyu was out of danger and would be out in a little while. Then, about half an hour later, Lu Rongyu was wheeled out and transferred to a ward. That seems to be all."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xunran abruptly raised his head, his gaze sharp: "You named four doctors?"
Qi Rang nodded: "Yes, four came out."
Lu Xunran's speech quickened unconsciously: "That's the problem! During a rescue, the rescue team must have at least three people, and normally there should be five people in the operating room together. If four people come out, it means there was only one attending physician in the operating room at the time, which is not normal!"
He paused, then continued, "Moreover, the time it takes to wake up from anesthesia is usually ten to thirty minutes. You just said that Lu Rongyu was wheeled out half an hour later, which is exactly the time it takes for anesthesia to wear off!"
Qi Rang's face gradually hardened, and he said in a cold voice, "I will send someone to check the surveillance footage to see where those doctors went. I will notify you immediately once I have any news."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, fiddling with his phone as he walked.
Lu Wenjing's gaze fell on Lu An'an, who had been silent and lost in thought, and he asked softly, "An'an? What are you thinking about?"
Lu An'an snapped out of her reverie, looked at Lu Wenjing, and gently shook her head: "It's nothing, big brother, I was just thinking about the Zhao family."
A barely perceptible hint of doubt flickered in the depths of her eyes.
[Zhao Junyi's behavior of going to great lengths to protect Lu Rongyu is very strange. Taking such a huge risk to protect the female lead is something that shouldn't be done by the male supporting character who has just appeared in the original work, but by...]
Male lead!
[Male lead.]
Lu Wenjing and Lu Xunran exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
Lu An'an continued to ponder.
[Back in Yunling Village, Zhao Junyi didn't seem to show any signs of being hopelessly infatuated with Lu Rongyu, which fits the typical setup of a supporting male character who is gradually drawn to the female lead upon his initial appearance.]
But why did the pacing suddenly speed up, skipping the process and turning it into a showdown to protect the female lead?
Lu Wenjing and Lu Xunran exchanged a glance, and an idea quietly took shape in their minds.
A male supporting character who just appeared on screen goes to great lengths to protect the female lead; he... has turned the tables and become the male lead?!
