Chapter 1017 - 813: Sophistry_2
Sure enough, those people brought Han Yi out.
...
Lin Wan didn’t know whose hand she was holding, but she heard a soft voice in her ear, telling her to relax and let go of her worries.
She wanted to say something, but didn’t have time to speak before someone fed her a sip of water.
Not sure if she had lost too much blood, she felt the water was especially sweet, and wanted to drink more.
She wanted to say she was very thirsty and ask for more water, but her consciousness grew more and more blurred, and eventually she couldn’t hear anything.
At the moment of falling asleep, she heard Han Yi’s worried voice coming from afar.
...
Initially, Mr. Mei and Old Mrs. Mei were saying before bed that they had done right this time.
Who knew, barely after they lay down, the hospital called to say Mei Langchi and Han Yi had gotten into a car accident.
Upon hearing "car accident," the old couple’s hearts sank, their recent joy extinguished by a cold dose of reality.
This incident was also known by Mei Shuping and Mei Shuqing, who rushed over overnight.
Outside one of the operating rooms in the hospital, Han Yi’s arm was wrapped in thick bandages, his face filled with worry, eyes fixed on the operating room door.
Nearby, Chen Haichang smoked by the window in the corridor.
On another bench, Mei Langchi was applying medicine to Ye Qing. Looking closer, one could see Ye Qing’s face was swollen on one side, a dark bruise around the eye.
Clearly, she had suffered quite a blow. On another bench in the corridor, there was a man and a woman, the woman holding a sleeping and crying Little Star.
"What happened? How did the accident happen out of nowhere?" Liang Qian walked to Ying Han’s side, smiled at him, and took the child from his arms. "Miss, truly thank you. You’ve been so helpful today."
"It’s nothing, Sister Lin Wan and Xingxing are part of our community, and Aunt Liang’s house and my house are neighbors. Today was just coincidental," Ying Han smiled at Liang Qian, handing the child to her.
Liang Qian, hearing they were acquainted with Xiao Wan, thanked them again, "It’s fate that Xiao Yi and Xiao Wan met familiar faces; otherwise, they might still not be at the hospital." Liang Qian’s eyes reddened, "I don’t know how Xiao Wan is now, if she’s okay with the child."
"Don’t worry, Auntie, Sister Xiao Wan is lucky, she won’t be in trouble," Ying Han quickly comforted Liang Qian.
Liang Qian looked at Little Star sleeping in her arms, then smiled, "I hope your words come true, that the child will be okay."
"As long as everyone is safe. Now the police are handling it. Just when we entered the hospital, we saw a truck driver was being rescued; we still don’t know the exact situation. Another person has arm and body injuries, but they are only superficial wounds," Mei Shuqing patted Han Yi’s shoulder, offering solace.
"What situation can there be, only two possibilities, wouldn’t you agree, Third Nephew?" Chen Haichang held half-lit cigarette in his hand, gazing outside, yet his words were meant for Mei Langchi.
"Third Uncle is right," Mei Langchi looked up, casting a meaningful glance at Chen Haichang, responding with a noncommittal answer.
Mei Shuping frowned slightly, as if having noticed something amiss. His two sons didn’t get along, and today, both had accidents. Too coincidental. "I think the blame lies entirely with those two truck drivers. Both are in the emergency room now; the police can’t get anything from them. We might as well send them back; we can take statements tomorrow."
Mei Shuping hoped for a pause to ease tensions, so when Xiao Wan came out later, they could ask the children what really happened.
However, Han Yi disagreed, "Why wait until tomorrow? The two drivers can’t give statements, but I can, and my Third Brother and Sister-in-law aren’t tired either, so let’s take statements today."
Han Yi slightly opened his lips, his gaze fierce as he looked at Mei Langchi.
Mei Langchi remained unfazed, curling his lips into a sneer, "It’s unfortunate, when the incident happened, I had just gotten out of the car and am unclear about what transpired," he said, lowering his head, smiling at Ye Qing, "Ah Qing, isn’t that right?"
Mei Langchi smiled at her significantly, with some instruction, mostly with threat, not wanting Mei Langchi to succeed, she quickly shook her head, "No... about this..."
But before she could finish, Mei Langchi interrupted, "Ah Qing was frightened by the earlier scene, her emotions are unstable now."
"I didn’t... um..." Ye Qing wanted to retort, but Mei Langchi pinched her discreetly making her gasp in pain, furrowing her brows at Mei Langchi, seeing clearly a gentle face but menacing eyes warning her not to speak recklessly, suffocating her. The grip on her hand grew stronger, Ye Qing dared not make a sound, only biting her lower lip, suppressing her cries of pain.
"If not, then let me ask you, why did you force my car, why deliberately crash into me today?" Han Yi sternly observed her and asked.
Han Yi’s questioning left Ye Qing uncertain how to respond, for if she admitted it was intentional, today’s major responsibility would likely fall solely on her, a burden she couldn’t bear.
Ye Qing suddenly realized things weren’t as simple as she thought; if she claimed now it was Mei Langchi’s doing, people likely wouldn’t believe her. Moreover, if Mei Langchi could orchestrate truck drivers risking their lives, he must have full-proof plans.
She couldn’t be reckless; if she became too impassioned, Mei Langchi would definitely push her into the spotlight, ultimately making her a scapegoat.
She was no fool.
In an instant, Ye Qing’s mind raced, plotting for herself.
"I...I... my head feels dizzy, Langchi, my head feels dizzy." The smartest choice now was to feign illness to muddle through.
She couldn’t let Han Yi catch hold of anything.
"Han Yi, what are you doing, didn’t you hear me say, Ah Qing was scared just now?" Mei Langchi’s gaze shifted, silently acknowledging Ye Qing for knowing the time.
