The 21st generation of the Yuan family's thank-you gift
Yuan Lei's face flashed a hint of surprise, although it was fleeting, but I caught it. Then he let out a long sigh, even as a business tycoon, he put down his haughty airs and shed his identity disguise to become an ordinary person.
He told me with a sense of responsibility about everything regarding Yuan Xue and his family, as well as the process of the car accident that day. After the accident, Mrs. Yuan was injured the most severely, while Yuan Rui had some superficial injuries since he was sitting in the passenger seat. On the other hand, Yuan Lei, who was driving, only had minor injuries. When he contacted 120 and 110 and went to check on his family's injuries, he found that Yuan Xue was also unconscious.
Despite the doctor's best efforts to save her, Yuan Xue's mother used her own body to block most of the harm for her daughter, but it resulted in intracranial hemorrhage and death.
Mrs. Yuan, who has learned the truth, still cannot accept reality to this day and stays in her daughter's room all day, feeling depressed and occasionally bursting into tears.
Because the driver responsible for the accident died on the spot and it was also a heavy fog, the police's initial and final determination of this matter were both accidental traffic accidents.
An unexpected car accident, I sat on the chair opposite and took a sip of cold drink, smiling somewhat coldly. If it was really an accidental car accident, why did Yuan Xue still want to come back? He said so much but still didn't get to the point.
I didn't come here to waste time with him or listen to his lies about the accident scene to fool the police, but to hear the truth.
Ming Yan, who was sitting in the chair beside me with a slanted gaze, nodded at me and looked at Yuan Lei with some disappointment, saying: "He still doesn't want to tell the truth. As for his daughter's debt, I think it's not as painful on the surface as he seems. It looks like we can only investigate ourselves."
Put down the juice on the table, and he naturally understood his meaning.
Fearlessly facing Yuan Wei's sharp black eyes, he said: "Mr. Yuan, I am not a police officer, and I did not come to listen to these on-site records of scene words. If Yuan Xue died in an accidental car accident, the underworld would not have sent her back, nor would she have asked me to help her avenge her death. You are her father in this life, if you want your daughter to be at peace without any regrets and reincarnate as a human being again, you should tell me the truth straightforwardly. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you either. After all, I am a stranger to you, and I don't want to get involved in meaningless disputes, which would not bring me any benefits."
I have no interest in his secrets, even if I knew them, they would be of no use to me, and I wouldn't dare to spread them out recklessly. Because I am clear that in this society, the death of an insignificant small person is just like an ant, making no difference.
"If you really feel guilty towards Yuan Xue and think you owe this daughter an apology, don't need to tell me anything else, just tell me who your suspect is and I'll take care of the rest. I won't reveal any related secrets, and I'll make sure to keep myself safe. The lesson from history is clear: the more you know, the faster you die. I'm not that stupid to look for trouble."
He clenched his fists tightly, "This matter, except for me, my family doesn't know. I can only tell you that Xue Er's death is related to me, and the perpetrator, who may have come to kill us, is called Lao Qi, whose full name is Liu Sheng, a runner for the underworld."
I exchanged a glance with Ming Yan, but he didn't seem to react. However, my intuition told me that I had probably gotten myself into something big, and might even become the next Yuan Xue or worse.
He took out a file from his briefcase and handed it to me, saying that this was all the information about Liu Sheng, hoping it would be helpful to us.
I lowered my head and pretended to take out a scroll, glancing at it briefly, but actually casting a sidelong glance at Ming Yan.
Ming Yan nodded to me and said, "He didn't lie, the heartbeat is normal, this file is real, take it! Since he doesn't want to say, we can start investigating from this person too, and it's more convenient than going to the police station to get the data again."
I put the scroll back in the file bag, put it in my backpack and stood up to bid farewell politely. What was depressing was that I still hadn't said what I wanted to say in the end without thickening my skin.
Yuan Lei stopped me and asked me to wait a moment.
I didn't understand what he meant, so I tilted my head and exchanged a puzzled glance with Ming Yan, standing there in confusion.
At the same time, Yuan Lei also took out an envelope from his own folder and handed it to me. With a very kind smile, he said: "Xue Er has already told me about your entrustment, I think it's very necessary, so this is my little heart, let's say it's for Xiaoxue to do good deeds!"
I was overjoyed, thanking the ancestors of the Yuan family for eight generations. I didn't expect Mr. Yuan to be so just and generous, solving my big problem with his donation.
Excitedly took it over, pulled out two checks from inside, why are there two? I didn't want that much!
I looked at him in confusion and asked: "What's this?"
"It's my gratitude, I entrust my daughter to you. I also know that I wasn't honest enough with you and caused trouble. Consider this a small token of my apology! When she was alive, I couldn't be a good father to her; after death, I hope to give her justice."
I glanced at him, then at the check, and thanked him with a deep bow. At the same time, I caught a glimpse of Ming Yan's eyes inadvertently revealing a hint of worry and disgust.
