“Yes,” Sheng Quan recalled the scene at the time, still haunted by the memories.
The car in front had obviously experienced brake failure, as he could see the brake lights flashing on and off, yet the vehicle couldn’t stop.
At the time, he didn’t dare tell the police the whole truth because he was scared. Besides, by that time, the car had already been destroyed in the accident, and even if they conducted further investigations, it would be difficult to detect any anomalies.
Moreover, even if they decided to investigate, it had nothing to do with him. He could easily dismiss it by saying he hadn’t noticed anything at the time.
However, if he chose to confess, the police might start looking into the cause of Shen Can’s death.
Once others found out that Shen Can didn’t die of shock but rather that she knew about his affair and was driven to her death, he wouldn’t have a peaceful life anymore.
Hence, out of fear and guilt, he chose to conceal the truth from the authorities and did not disclose the obvious anomalies of the car when Bai Ling had her accident.
Mei Shu had anticipated hearing this result but found it hard to accept.
In her previous life, she had been completely unaware of the fact that her mother was actually murdered. She had spent significant effort trying to please Wang Yue and Mei Mu for better integration into the Mei family, but in the end, she had caused harm to her younger brothers, leading to their deaths and disabilities, all of whom had been deprived of the bright futures they were supposed to have.
It was all her fault.
It was her stupidity that caused the tragedy of her entire family.
Perhaps she got a second chance because her mother was watching over her from above, hoping her to seek revenge for her mother and her younger brothers.
This time, she wouldn’t let Wang Yue and Mei Mu get away with their crimes.
“It’s no use knowing this now. It’s been so many years, and even if you know the truth about your mother’s death, it’s still difficult to find evidence to reveal the real murderer,” Sheng Quan said, sounding as though he had aged ten years, sitting motionless on the sofa, like an old man approaching his end.
Mei Shu coldly looked at him, finding his face repulsive. “You don’t need to worry about that. 1 have my ways.”
Sheng Quan raised his head in disbelief, his eyes trembling violently. “You actually want to find the killer? That’s impossible. Your mother’s body was cremated long ago, and the car from that time was scrapped. What can you use to reopen the case?”
“Are you afraid that I might expose this matter?” Mei Shu could only think of this possibility to explain Sheng Quan’s excitement about her reopening the old case at this moment.
She couldn’t be blamed for thinking of him as selfish because Sheng Quan was inherently a highly selfish and self-serving person. Otherwise, her mother wouldn’t have died unjustly for so many years, and Wang Yue could still enjoy impunity.
“No,” Sheng Quan knew that he had lost all credibility in the eyes of this young girl. However, he still felt a need to explain, “I just wanted to say that the person who could ruthlessly harm your mother back then might now use the same methods to go after you. I’m just concerned that you might be targeted too before you could find any concrete evidence against them.”
“I won’t give them the chance,” Mei Shu’s resolute flash in her eyes sent shivers down one’s spine.
Sheng Quan was shaken to his core. “Them? Do you know who the killer is?”
Mei Shu chuckled softly, with half her face hidden in the shadows. Even her laughter could strike terror into one’s heart.
Even someone as cold-hearted as Sheng Quan couldn’t help but feel chilled.
“I told you, you don’t need to worry about this matter. You should go back now; otherwise, your daughter might become suspicious at home,” Mei Shu said before turning and leaving.
By this time, the lobby outside was completely silent. Sheng Quan had ordered everyone to leave immediately, demonstrating just how fearful he was of this secret being exposed.
“Wait, don’t forget what you just promised me!” Sheng Quan urgently called out to her. When Mei Shu actually stopped in her tracks, his heart skipped a beat, and he was somewhat afraid to speak.
Mei Shu turned her head slightly and said coldly, “Rest assured, 1 will keep my promise. 1 will solve Lin Wei and her son for you, ensuring they don’t reveal the true cause of Shen Can’s death. However, if they reveal any other secrets, that will be entirely unrelated to me.”
“What secrets?” Sheng Quan’s heart tightened, his intuition telling him that Mei Shu must know something more serious than he had anticipated.
Unfortunately, Mei Shu walked away quickly, and in just a few seconds while Sheng Quan was dazed, she left the company without looking back and took a taxi away.
Sheng Quan had no choice but to sit uneasily in his car and ordered the driver to take him home.
He needed to be with Sheng Nian, to ensure that she wouldn’t have the chance to come into contact with Lin Wei, the crazy woman.
After leaving Sheng Enterprises, Mei Shu went to Lin Wei’s house for their appointment.
Throughout the day, Lin Wei had been working behind the scenes to get her son acquitted, attempting to shift all the blame onto Sheng Nian.
In fact, her ability to come up with this solution was quite clever.
After all, at the time, things were just a bit too coincidental.
How come Sheng Quan was able to appear so timely and rescue Sheng Nian?
In Lin Wei’s view, this was a scheme set up by Sheng Quan and Sheng Nian to seek revenge on Lu Ming, in an attempt to have him imprisoned.
As for Mei Shu…
As for Mei Shu, Lin Wei couldn’t be sure of her role in the scheme..
