He still did not know that the only witness at the scene of the accident was Bai Lu. Although Bai Lu was not the one who called the police, she was the first one to arrive at the scene. There were no surveillance cameras along the road, so the first thing the police did after they accepted the case was to investigate who Chin Jin-hee had met and where she had been before the accident.
Bai Lu, her daughter, was also caught on camera following Chin Jin-hee out of the hospital in the middle of the night.
…
In the hospital ward, Bai Lu sat on the bed as a police officer stood in front of her and asked, "Miss Bai, when was the last time you saw your mother, Chin Jin-hee?"
Bai Lu did not look too well, but she was very calm as she faced the police officer. Liang Feifan stood to one side with a frown. If Bai Lu had not agreed to see the police officer, he would not have let these people into the ward.
"My mother knew that I was in the hospital and specially came to see me. It was around nine o 'clock in the evening."
"And then?"
Bai Lu clasped her fingers together on her knees. She paused for a moment and said, "After that, I chatted with my mother for a while. She seemed a little off and said that she wanted to go downstairs for dinner. I was afraid that something was wrong, so I followed her downstairs."
"Why did you feel that something was wrong with her?"
Bai Lu bit her lip. Her eyes were red as she looked at the police officer who was taking her statement. "My mother has always been a calm person. She rarely panics, so I followed her downstairs."
The police officer nodded. "Then what did you see after that?"
Bai Lu's pale lips trembled. She clenched her fists even harder. Her face was full of uneasiness and panic, but there was also a sense of determination. Liang Feifan had never seen such an expression on her face before. His heart tightened slightly. He stepped forward and held Bai Lu's tightly clenched fingers. "Don't force yourself."
His sharp gaze swept straight at the policeman at the side. His eyes were full of warning.
The policeman naturally knew Liang Feifan. Family Liang had a high status in City A, and Liang Feifan's grandfather had a certain amount of influence in the political world. He glanced at the policeman, and the policeman immediately shrank his neck and forced a smile. "… Young Master Liang, this … if Miss Liang is not feeling well, we can take a statement later …"
"No need."
Bai Lu suddenly spoke up, interrupting the police officer. She pulled her hand out of Liang Feifan's grip. "I'm fine. I can continue recording my statement."
Liang Feifan frowned. "Bai Lu, your body …"
"There's nothing wrong with my body, but I think it's not convenient for you to be here if you want to record my statement." In other words, she wanted Liang Feifan to leave the ward.
Liang Feifan naturally disagreed. "Bai Lu …"
"No matter what, we shouldn't bring trouble to these law enforcement officers."
Bai Lu's tone was too calm. It was so calm that it made Liang Feifan feel uneasy. Of course, he refused to leave. "No, if you want to record my statement, I agree, but I have to stay here."
Bai Lu glanced at him emotionlessly. She knew that she couldn't force him. He definitely wouldn't leave, but he might not be able to accept what she was going to say next. However, she was very calm now. On second thought, she felt that there was no point in sending him away now. There were some things that he had to know eventually.
She couldn't hide it. It was just a matter of time. So, let him be.
"Miss Bai, do you have anything else to add?" The police officer was also a smart person. Actually, recording Bai Lu's statement was just a routine procedure. However, seeing how nervous Liang Feifan was now, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He just thought that it was enough. "… If you don't have anything else to add, then that's all …"
"I still have something to say."
Bai Lu interrupted the police officer. She almost didn't give herself a chance to hesitate. She quickly said, "I followed my mother out. When we left the hospital, I saw that she was on the phone. Later, I saw that she didn't go to the restaurant to eat. Instead, she went to a coffee shop. It was at the intersection opposite the hospital. Then, I saw someone come to see my mother. That person, she …"
"Who was that person?"
Bai Lu turned her face and glanced at Liang Feifan, who didn't know anything. She said, "It was Li Tanglin."
The pen in the police officer's hand also paused. He instinctively glanced at Liang Feifan.
Liang Feifan's handsome face was calm. His deep gaze was fixed on the woman beside him. It was as if the three words "Li Tanglin" didn't have much to do with him. He didn't intend to express any opinions.
The police officer stood to the side, a little at a loss.
Bai Lu met Liang Feifan's gaze directly. Her slightly hoarse voice spoke word by word to the police officer. "… They sat in the coffee shop for a while. It was about half an hour. Then, I saw my mother leave the coffee shop. Soon after, Li Tanglin followed. They had a little argument on the street. I stood a little further away, so I didn't hear what they said clearly. However, Li Tanglin was very agitated. I originally wanted to go forward, but before I could, I saw with my own eyes — Li Tanglin pushed my mother off the road."
…
She made it very clear. In fact, the police were not completely clueless. They knew that before Chin Jin-hee's accident, they had indeed seen Li Tanglin. However, Li Tanglin's identity was sensitive and they did not have any substantial evidence. Naturally, it was not appropriate to mention more. But now, Bai Lu's words were the best evidence. The police had their concerns, but things like taking notes naturally had to be done neatly.
After sorting out all the transcripts, as usual, she asked Bai Lu to sign it and told her that the case had been officially closed. If there was a need, she would be asked for her help.
Before the police left, Bai Lu said seriously, "… If you need me to testify, I can cooperate with you at any time. But I only have one condition, and that is — this was not an accident. Someone deliberately did it, so I hope that the police can prosecute this case."
Sue?
Who should he sue?
Sue Li Tanglin?
…
The police looked warily at Liang Feifan, who was standing beside Bai Lu. Liang Feifan's hands seemed to be casually tucked into his trouser pockets, but his entire body was shrouded in a layer of gloomy coldness. His exquisite features were stained with coldness. The police naturally did not dare to stay any longer. Li Tanglin was the mistress of Family Liang and Liang Wu-ming's daughter-in-law. Was she someone who could be sued just because they wanted to?
The police thought about it in his heart, but of course, he would not say it out loud. He only nodded and quickly left the ward. Soon, only Liang Feifan and Bai Lu were left in the ward. She stood up from the bed and said very calmly, "I want to see my mother."
"Don't you plan to tell me clearly?"
Liang Feifan reached out and grabbed her wrist. His gaze was sharp. "What you said just now, huh? Why didn't you tell me first? "
Bai Lu's dark eyes met with Liang Feifan's slightly doubtful gaze. She smiled and said coldly, "Feifan, if you were me, would you tell me first?"
Liang Feifan frowned, but his grip on her wrist stiffened for a moment. He could hear that she was complaining about him in her tone. She was complaining about him hiding something from her before.
"… Bai Lu, I know that you think I'm hiding a lot of things from you, but don't you know about this matter? This is not a small matter. You're testifying against my mother now. If the case is filed, she might be charged with attempted murder … "
"I'm just saying what I saw with my own eyes."
Bai Lu pulled her hand away forcefully and looked down to avoid his burning and helpless gaze. She was afraid that her heart would soften, so she bit her lip and didn't give herself a chance to breathe. She quickly said, "I think if you were in my shoes, you would do the same. The person lying in the ICU right now is my mother, the mother who painstakingly raised me."
Liang Feifan took a deep breath and suppressed the madness in his heart. "There must be a misunderstanding about this matter."
Although he knew that his mother and Chin Jin-hee had met before, he didn't believe that someone like his mother would want to kill Chin Jin-hee. Even if this matter was really as Bai Lu said, he also believed that there must be a misunderstanding. Fortunately, Chin Jin-hee was currently in the ICU, but her life wasn't in danger for the time being.
"Misunderstanding?"
Bai Lu sneered and disagreed. "If it's a misunderstanding, she can just admit that she did it by mistake. Feifan, you should go back and ask your mother why she chose to run away immediately after the incident and not take responsibility for it. Even if she stayed there and said that she didn't do it on purpose, I could accept your so-called 'misunderstanding'. However, she ran away. If I'm not wrong, she will never admit that she pushed my mother after the incident. "
"Forget it. I don't want to argue with you. I'm very tired. I want to see my mother."
Bai Lu reached out and pressed her aching temples. Her voice was low and tired. "Can you go back? I don't want to say anything now. "
Liang Feifan frowned and nodded. He didn't force her to say too much.
He knew that her emotions were very unstable now. She wanted to see Chin Jin-hee, so he helped her arrange it. He also asked Guan Chao to stay in the hospital. On the other hand, he also sent someone to investigate whether Chin Jin-hee had really seen Li Tanglin before the incident.
As for himself, he returned to the Liang residence as soon as possible.
As soon as Liang Feifan's car drove into the Liang residence, he saw a police car parked in the garage.
He frowned and opened the car door to get out.
When he walked into the living room, he saw that Liang Wu-ming and Liang Jiannan were both there. His mother, Li Tanglin, was also sitting on the sofa. There were a few policemen standing beside her. When Liang Feifan walked in, the butler saw him first and hurriedly called out, "Young Master, you're back."
"Feifan …" Li Tanglin stood up. Her face was a little pale.
