Chapter 67 Suspicious Vehicles
Ye Xinghe glanced at Zheng Juan disdainfully, then quickly looked away, as if looking at her any longer would taint her eyes. She sneered, "If you want to call the police, hurry up. Don't wait until your face heals and all the evidence is gone. Otherwise, I'll call the police for you."
Zheng Juan quickly stopped her, saying, "I won't call the police, I won't call the police. I injured myself."
Zheng Juan clutched the bag tightly to her chest, thinking: Ye Xinghe, I've got your brother's blood. Your Ye family will never get rid of me again! I will repay this humiliation tenfold! I will make you all kneel at my feet and beg for mercy!
She couldn't wait to see it all happen! Without waiting for Ye Xingchen to see her test results, she rushed out the door and drove home.
Zheng Juan, with her swollen, bluish-purple face covered in bruises, startled Wang Lijun the moment she entered the room.
"What did you do?"
Zheng Juan didn't take it seriously and looked at Wang Lijun with a smile on her face, but her smile was quite creepy.
"Auntie, I got the stuff!" Zheng Juan's eyes shone with excitement as she took the small bottle containing the blood out of her bag.
"Haha! With this, Ye Xinghe's family is doomed! Aunt! The Ye family's century-old business will soon be yours."
Wang Lijun sat calmly on the sofa, watching the erratic Zheng Juan, highly doubting her mental state. "Don't be so happy yet! Are you sure you got Ye Xingyu's blood? And what's wrong with your face…"
“I’m absolutely sure! Because I went to pick it up myself!” Zheng Juan was extremely excited. “I accidentally bumped my face while driving. It’s nothing serious.”
Wang Lijun grew suspicious. She was a seasoned veteran, and the injuries on Zheng Juan's face were clearly from a beating, plus those clumps of half-dry hair. She wondered what Zheng Juan was hiding from her. Regardless, she had obtained Ye Xingyu's blood, and decided to trust her this once and for all.
"So you didn't leave any evidence against me this time, did you?"
Zheng Juan suddenly remembered what Ye Xinghe had told her in the hospital, and a chill ran down her spine. However, the panicked look vanished in an instant. She would rather go to jail for premeditated murder than let Wang Lijun know that she had failed in her duty!
Her face twisted into a ferocious grin. "Don't worry, Auntie! There's absolutely no problem."
Wang Lijun hesitated, saying, "If you leave the country like this, the police will suspect you. We're not in a hurry. Let's wait until your face is a little better before we go."
Zheng Juan wouldn't listen. She wished she had wings to fly there. "No! Auntie! I don't want to wait even a day longer! I'm going to Siam to find the black-clad Ajarn right now!"
Worried about another mishap, Wang Lijun, after some persuasion, finally reluctantly decided to set off tomorrow.
Jiangyang First Hospital.
After treating the wound on her hand, Ye Xinghe waited in the ward for Ye Xingyu to wake up.
Suddenly, Ye Xingyu's fingers twitched slightly on the hospital bed. Ye Xinghe was both surprised and delighted when she saw this. She held Ye Xingyu's hand, softly called him "Big Brother," and asked Qiao Lin to quickly call Ye Xingchen over.
"Big brother, you're awake."
As soon as Ye Xingyu opened his eyes, he saw Ye Xinghe's bright smiling face.
"How did I get here?" Ye Xingyu gently rubbed his head, and just as he was about to sit up, a sharp pain came from his leg.
Ye Xinghe rushed over to help him up. "You were in a car accident. Big brother, do you remember what happened?"
At this moment, Ye Xingchen also came to the ward and conducted a physical examination on Ye Xingyu.
Ye Xingyu remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before slowly saying, "I remember on the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, when I was almost there, a car appeared behind me and kept squeezing me. I had no choice but to change direction and turn onto a side road..."
Ye Xingyu paused, his brows furrowed, his eyes lowered as if trying to recall something, and continued, "After reaching the side road, not long after, another car appeared from the opposite direction, going very fast, and I don't remember anything after that..."
Ye Xinghe pressed further, "What kind of cars are these two?"
“They’re all black…” Ye Xingyu rubbed his temples, his head throbbing with pain. “They have out-of-town license plates, and they’re all black!”
"Out-of-town license plate? Dude, do you remember what the license plate starts with?"
"I don't remember. I think I had a dream, and in the dream, it seemed like a figure was touching my head." Ye Xingyu touched his forehead. Some memories were in his mind, but he found it difficult to express them in words. And some things that he remembered clearly had now become very blurry.
Ye Xingchen understood that the car accident was definitely not an accident! But seeing his older brother's pained expression, he quickly interrupted Ye Xinghe, "Xinghe, my brother needs to rest now. It's not good for his recovery if he overworks his brain. Let's ask him again in a few days."
Ye Xinghe had no choice but to give up and stop asking.
Ye's parents couldn't hide the fact that her older brother had been in a car accident from her. She went out and called her parents, but didn't mention how serious it was.
Upon receiving the news, Ye's parents rushed over immediately. The three siblings, fearing their parents would worry, agreed on a story: it was an accidental car accident, and the driver had fled the scene.
"He escaped?" Ye Minghan's face turned ashen, his eyes wide with rage. "No matter where he ran to! You have to find him, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"
"Dad, how are you planning to find them? There aren't any security cameras on that road." Ye Xinghe thought to herself. The traffic police had already been to the scene of the accident, so finding the driver and vehicle shouldn't be difficult. But what worried her was that if her father investigated further, he might discover that this wasn't a simple accident, and she didn't want to drag her family into it.
"If there are no cameras on the street, then check the surrounding shops! If there aren't any on this street, then check the others!" Ye Minghan raised his voice, his face showing some anger. "If the other car could have wrecked Xingyu like this, it must have been damaged too! Let the police investigate! They'll definitely find it!"
Ye Xinghe quickly reassured her father not to worry, saying that the police had already been to the scene of the accident and that they should just wait for the results.
Ye Xingchen dismissed the others, saying his elder brother needed to rest, and stayed in the ward to take care of him that night.
The next morning, Ye Xinghe brought breakfast and some changes of clothes to the hospital.
After the two had breakfast, Ye Xingchen went straight to work, while Ye Xinghe sat on the edge of the bed peeling an apple for her older brother.
Her technique for peeling the apple was very clumsy, like peeling a potato. By the time she finished, Ye Xingyu was already asleep.
Ye Xinghe went to the bathroom in the ward to wash her hands. Just as she was about to come out, she noticed someone entering the ward.
Chu Mofan was seen tiptoeing toward the hospital bed.
"Brother Mofan, what are you doing?"
