Luckily, it was nighttime and some of the nurses had already gotten off work. The nurses on duty wouldn't keep an eye on her, so it was easy for her to get out of the hospital. She caught up with Chin Jin-hee at the entrance of the hospital lobby.
Bai Lu didn't dare to get too close, but from a distance, she saw that her mother was on the phone with a serious expression. After a while, she saw her mother hang up the phone and walk across the road. Bai Lu realized that Chin Jin-hee didn't go to any restaurant. Instead, she walked two blocks and finally walked into a coffee shop. She had been following her from a distance. After she saw Chin Jin-hee find a secluded spot and sit down, she couldn't see clearly. She wondered if she should also go into the coffee shop.
Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly saw a familiar car slowly drive over.
Bai Lu frowned. For a moment, she couldn't remember where she had seen that license plate number before. However, when the car door opened, she suddenly realized and was extremely shocked at the same time!
It was Li Tanglin.
Accidents were inevitable. Why would her mother meet Li Tanglin in private?
She had never heard of Li Tanglin and her mother being friends. Logically speaking, the only opportunity for them to meet was when their parents met. Bai Lu tried very hard to recall what had happened that day, but she couldn't remember how friendly Li Tanglin and her mother had been when they met. If she remembered correctly, they had even introduced each other at that time.
…
So what was going on now?
Why would they meet in private in the middle of the night?
Suddenly, an image flashed across Bai Lu's mind. She then remembered that she had met Li Tanglin at her father's grave on the back mountain of her hometown!
Yes, she had almost forgotten about it. At that time, she had been very curious as to why Li Tanglin would go to the back mountain. But now, she was meeting her mother alone again. Could they have known each other before?
Or … did it have something to do with her father?
There were too many question marks fighting in Bai Lu's mind. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what exactly was involved. After she saw Li Tanglin get out of the car and walk into the coffee shop, she anxiously walked in circles across the road. She couldn't chase after her, or she would definitely be discovered. She wanted to call Liang Feifan, but she forgot that she didn't bring her phone. After thinking about it, she could only continue to wait in the same spot.
It was late autumn in A City. At this time, the temperature outside had dropped. Bai Lu was only wearing a hospital gown and a coat. She felt cold standing there. She waited for half an hour. When the two women finally came out, she noticed that something wasn't right.
In fact, they were a little far away. Occasionally, cars would drive by on the road. She couldn't see very clearly, but she could still tell from their body movements.
Li Tanglin was pulling Chin Jin-hee from the beginning to the end, but Chin Jin-hee looked impatient. In the end, she didn't know what Li Tanglin said, but she was obviously a little emotional. She pulled Chin Jin-hee and refused to let go.
Bai Lu was only surprised. Li Tanglin was such an elegant and noble woman. How could she do such a thing on the road? Could it be that she had a grudge against her mother?
But thinking about it, it didn't seem like it. Her mother was a very indifferent person. It was impossible for her to have a grudge against others. Moreover, in these years, she rarely came to A City and lived in a small town all year round. She was almost at the age of retirement and had always been very dedicated to her work. How could she know a woman like Li Tanglin?
… Or, did they know each other before?
The more Bai Lu thought about it, the more confused she felt. She bit her lip and thought that instead of standing here and thinking blindly, she might as well go forward and ask clearly.
Taking a step back, in fact, it could be — because of her marriage with Liang Feifan.
Bai Lu could only think of this now. She clenched her hands by her side. Almost at the moment when she lifted her left foot, there was suddenly an ear-piercing sound of brakes not far away. In this quiet night, in this city full of neon lights, it seemed that even the night didn't seem to be too quiet.
Bai Lu stood straight across the road. For a moment, she even forgot to breathe.
It was just a matter of a moment. She witnessed a car accident — the victim of the car accident was her mother.
It was as if the whole world had suddenly quieted down. All she could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat, thump, thump, thump. After a full two minutes, the opposite side of the road gradually became crowded with people. Some of them were already calling the police, while others were calling for an ambulance …
— — "Bai Lu, Mom just wants you to be happy. As long as it's your choice, Mom will support you."
— — "Bai Lu, I can see that Feifan is very serious about you … It's not easy to find a man who loves you. You have to live well with him."
The female voice, which was always cold but would occasionally show a unique softness in front of her, suddenly sounded in her ears. Bai Lu felt as if she had been suddenly hit by something. She suddenly reacted and realized what had happened …
She ran over like a madwoman. "… Mom … Mom …"
More and more people gathered around, but no one stepped forward because there was blood everywhere. A lot of blood. It was a ghastly sight. Bai Lu had never felt like this before. It was as if something was strangling her throat. She couldn't breathe, couldn't open her mouth to speak, and seemed to have forgotten what her body felt like. She just crazily pushed through the crowd and stepped on the bright red blood. She felt dizzy and her stomach churned — she wanted to vomit.
She endured the nausea because the part of her body called her heart hurt even more. It hurt so much that she couldn't even cry. Bai Lu rushed forward recklessly and knelt in the pool of blood. She reached out her trembling hands to hug the unconscious woman. Her throat was sore, but she couldn't utter a single word …
Liang Feifan had just finished a video conference. He reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, which was a little sore. He took out another cigarette and lit it in his mouth. At this moment, his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID. It was Guan Chao.
He glanced at the time. It was almost eleven o 'clock. He took a puff of his cigarette and then frowned as he picked up the call.
"… Mr. Liang, something has happened to Mrs. Liang!"
When Li Tanglin got into the car, her body was still trembling. Her face was filled with unprecedented panic.
The driver in front was an experienced driver who had worked for Family Liang for many years. All these years, he had been driving for Li Tanglin and was loyal to her. Naturally, he saw everything that had just happened clearly. He was also the one who immediately pulled the frightened Li Tanglin into the car and drove away.
Family Liang wasn't an ordinary family. Moreover, the current Liang Clan was in troubled times. If something happened to Li Tanglin, the mistress of Family Liang, at this time, it would definitely have a huge negative impact on the Liang Clan.
This driver was in the middle of the year, but he had been driving for Family Liang for many years. Liang Jiannan and Li Tanglin had always treated him well, so he was also loyal to Family Liang. When a driver encountered a car accident, his thinking seemed to be more flexible.
"… Madam, don't worry too much. Nothing will happen."
After driving a little further away and making sure there were no surveillance cameras around, the driver stopped the car and turned around. He said to Li Tanglin, who was sitting uneasily in the back seat, "There were no surveillance cameras on that street just now. When I drove in, I already looked around, so I wouldn't have been caught. Also, it was too late just now. There was no one near the window of the coffee shop. When the accident happened, there weren't many people on the road either. Madam, please don't panic. Stay calm. Nothing will happen. "
"… Really … Really?"
Li Tanglin's lips were trembling as she spoke, and her voice was out of tune. "… Are you sure it's going to be okay? I … I didn't do it on purpose. I … I really didn't do it on purpose. I just … I just made a mistake. But she … She should have told me. If she had told me everything, nothing would have happened. Why … Why didn't she tell me? I … really, really didn't do it on purpose. Shen, Master Shen, you … You have to help me. I can't let anything happen to me … I can't go to jail. I can't go to jail … "
"Madam, Madam, please calm down. You won't go to jail!"
The driver, who was called Master Shen, quickly unbuckled his seatbelt. He looked around and saw a convenience store not far away. Only then did he comfort Li Tanglin. "Madam, please rest in the car first. I'll go get you a bottle of water. Please wait a moment."
After a while, Master Shen got back into the car with a bottle of mineral water. He opened the cap and handed it to Li Tanglin. "Madam, drink some water first and calm down. This incident definitely won't involve you. Don't worry. I pulled you away immediately. There's no evidence or witnesses. Nothing will happen."
"… Really? Really? "
Li Tanglin held the bottle of mineral water tightly in her hand. It seemed that the driver's words had some effect. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down a little. "… That's good. I can't let anything happen to me. I definitely can't let anything happen to me. Master Shen, I … This is the first time I've encountered something like this. “
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in the driver's seat. "… You helped me just now. You'll always help me, right? You'll help me with this matter, right? "
"Yes, Madam. Don't worry. I, Shen Hentian, am who I am today because of you and Master. I will never be an ingrate. Madam, you don't have to worry about this matter. I won't let anything happen to you. Madam, you just have to relax and don't let the cat out of the bag."
"… Okay, okay. Master Shen, don't worry. I won't mistreat you."
Li Tanglin squeezed her fingers tightly. Her restless emotions seemed to have calmed down slowly as they talked.
