Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but feel a bit strange.
"So, you knew I was your daughter before you recovered your memory?"
Vaguely, Gu Qiangwei sensed that something was amiss.
Bowing her head, she pondered for a moment, her brow slightly furrowed. She looked up at her mother again, "Then, was it after knowing all this that you suddenly fell down the stairs?"
Tang Yuyan didn’t feel anything was wrong. Recalling the situation, she said, "Yes, I had just finished the exams and was sitting in the garden with the results, because I was overwhelmed by the thought of you being my daughter. I didn’t know how to face you until it was late at night. That’s when I decided to return to Xixi’s ward with the results, and probably because I was preoccupied, I slipped and fell down the stairs."
Gu Qiangwei still felt something was off, "The stairs? Xixi’s ward is on the third floor, why did you take the stairs?"
"Because the elevator was broken at the time."
Gu Qiangwei furrowed her brows, finding the timing of the broken elevator rather convenient.
But why did she still feel that something was not quite right?
Her mother had just discovered her identity, the elevator broke, she took the stairs and then had a fall. It seemed as if some invisible force had led her to the stairs, resulting in the tragedy.
Was this all really just a coincidence?
Why did she feel as though someone didn’t want their mother and daughter to recognize each other?
Or was she overthinking it? Being too sensitive?
She looked at her mother again, "Mom, did anyone else know about your investigation?"
Tang Yuyan was taken aback for two seconds upon this question.
"Your father knew, but he didn’t know the results."
Tang Yuyan thought about it, then shook her head, "No one else should know."
"What about the results?"
"The results from your medical exam."
It was only when her daughter mentioned it that Tang Yuyan suddenly remembered.
After waking up, she never saw the results of her exam.
"I had the results when I fell, then I fell into a coma... The results... must have been taken by your father."
"But wasn’t Dad extremely surprised by the matter of you having a child that day? So he shouldn’t have known about it before you woke up."
Now that she mentioned it, Tang Yuyan also felt confused.
After she woke up and said she had a daughter, Mingchuan indeed appeared to be extremely surprised. If he had seen the results beforehand, he shouldn’t have reacted that way.
She looked at her daughter again, "Weiwei, do you feel something’s not right?"
Gu Qiangwei nodded, "It’s just that the elevator happened to break that night, and then you had to take the stairs, resulting in the fall, which seems too coincidental."
After hearing her daughter’s words, Tang Yuyan also started to wonder if there might really be something fishy going on.
"I’ll call your father and ask."
If Mingchuan was the first to find her after she fell into a coma, he should have seen the exam results she was clutching in her hand.
To clear things up, Tang Yuyan immediately took out her phone and dialed her husband’s number.
At this moment, Nangong Mingchuan was in his study, sitting in front of the computer, looking at the USB drive Qin Sijue had given him.
Qin Sijue had asked him to continue the investigation based on these clues. What exactly was hidden inside? Their fall from the stairs, was it really not an accident?
