The car accident that involved Tang Wu that year could be traced back to two bizarre messages.
The messages were not only sent with his nickname but also perfectly mimicked his tone. Only someone familiar could imitate his way of speaking so closely.
It was also impossible for someone who wasn’t familiar with her to calculate Tang Wu’s every reaction, let alone lay an ambush on the road she had to take.
All the information he had now told him that the familiar person he suspected was Bai Yuejie.
But he didn’t have enough evidence yet to conclude that the car accident three years ago was murder, and not the accident everyone had believed it to be.
The only evidence he held now was Bai Yuejie’s potential motive for the crime, not hard proof.
Shi Lingyan couldn’t shake the feeling that Bai Yuejie might not let things rest.
Bai Yuejie had been staying at home these past few days, receiving the best medical care and everyone’s affection.
After Father Bai and Bai Mu brought their daughter home, they hadn’t left the house again, with Bai Mu accompanying her daughter every day.
The benefit of companionship was evident, as Bai Yuejie looked much better recently, and her condition was a lot more stable than before.
Bai Mu liked to draw and had set up an easel to sketch her daughter. Over these days, Bai Yuejie’s mood became calmer, and looking at her mother, she asked, "Is it done?"
"Yes," Bai Mu replied, brimming with a smile as she placed the colored pencil drawing in front of Bai Yuejie, "Look how beautiful our daughter is."
Bai Yuejie also smiled, took the drawing, and cherished it. Suddenly, she asked, "Has Uncle Liu been very busy these days?"
Bai Mu’s smile momentarily faltered before she nodded and said, "He’s been busy with your company’s affairs. My child, your company has so many things to handle; no wonder you were so tired. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you pursue a career. My precious daughter could have spent her days playing the piano and arranging flowers at home."
Bai Yuejie frowned, "Mom, don’t talk like that. Starting this company has always been my dream, and now that it’s finally on the right track, you should be happy for me. If Uncle Liu is busy, it’s because of my successful career. That’s why he’s taken over my work and is as busy as he is now."
Bai Mu didn’t respond, just gently caressed her daughter’s pale face, "Do you want something to eat?"
Bai Yuejie shook her head, and suddenly there was a knock at the door, "Madam."
Both mother and daughter looked up, immediately seeing an impeccably dressed gentleman standing straight, smiling at them, "May I come in to see Miss?"
Bai Yuejie, somewhat delighted, said, "Uncle Liu."
Bai Mu felt a twinge of jealousy.
For many years, Bai Yuejie was raised more by the family steward than her own parents.
Uncle Liu walked in with a smile and said, "Madam, may I have a word alone with Miss?"
Bai Mu let out a soft sigh, "Alright, but make sure to rest and not for too long."
Only then did Bai Mu leave.
Uncle Liu went to close the door, and in a moment, his smile couldn’t be maintained any longer as he turned to face Bai Yuejie.
Seeing his serious expression, Bai Yuejie felt an ominous premonition, "What’s wrong?"
"Did you hire someone to kill Shi Mei?" Uncle Liu’s words were too direct, scaring Bai Yuejie a bit. For a moment, feeling guilty, she averted her eyes and couldn’t respond.
Seeing this, Uncle Liu already had his answer. Angrily clenching his teeth, he said, "Foolish!"
I just checked on the typhoon Mangkhut and found it’s really frightening. The Philippines has become a disaster area QAQ
Everyone, remember to remind your parents to prepare enough food supplies. Stock up on dry food and water, and have power banks and bottled water ready just in case there’s a power or water outage. Stay indoors if it’s unnecessary to go out, and take care of yourself and your family.
