Regardless of whether Jiang Weiyang’s appearance at the event location was a coincidence or not, Murong Qiao finally told the police officer about this discovery.
“Thank you for the information you’ve provided. We’ll conduct an investigation here and inform you as soon as we have any results,” the policewoman replied in a businesslike manner.
Murong Qiao nodded, feeling mixed emotions.
After making a trip to the police station, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen parted ways. The two of them still had their own matters to deal with.
Murong Qiao, who had originally allocated the entire day to accompany Third Brother, naturally returned to the hospital after leaving the police station, planning to see if Third Brother was awake.
However, when she reached the door of the ward, before she could push it open, she met her second brother, Murong Zheng, standing by the window and looking in.
The other party was wearing a white coat and had a cold expression, as if he wanted to keep people a thousand miles away. However, only those who were familiar with him could see the warmth and concern hidden under his cold eyes.
Murong Qiao walked over. “Second Brother?
“Yes, I’m here to take a look.” Murong Zheng said without turning around. “If
there’s nothing else, he’ll wake up after a nap.
“Since you are here, let’s talk in my office.” After saying that, he turned around and walked in the other direction.
Murong Qiao followed. Before she left, she glanced at Murong Chuan, who was still lying inside.
Murong Chuan was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. He was wearing the white striped hospital uniform and looked especially quiet. However, his face was still a little pale after losing blood.
Looking at the dull ambience, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but frown..
She should have bought a bouquet of flowers, she thought.
Murong Zheng’s office was not far from the ward. It only took the two of them two to three minutes to reach.
Murong Zheng walked in front and reached out to push open the door. “I’m back.”
This sentence was not directed at Murong Qiao.
Xian Yu, who had run to the hospital at some point, sat on the sofa beside the office with a terrible expression. He stared at Murong Zheng who walked in and looked like he was about to ask when his gaze landed on his sister who walked in behind him. He immediately changed his irritable mood and forced a smile.
He had also rushed over after receiving the news of Third Brother’s injury.
“I’ve already told you that he’s fine. If you’re really so free, you might as well continue writing your song in my office.” Murong Zheng clearly resisted this sudden visitor.
Xian Yu, on the other hand, did not realize it. “Third Brother is already injured.
How can I have the mood to write songs?”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to tell your manager in advance. What are you going to do? You rushed over to me in such a hurry that he even called me. Murong Zheng complained expressionlessly.
When Xian Yu received the news, he immediately put down his work in the recording studio and ran to the hospital. It was only after a while that his manager realized that he was gone and started looking everywhere.
“Cough, I forgot.” Xian Yu righteously covered the guilt on his face. Murong Qiao looked at the two of them bickering and her originally tense emotions relaxed a little. She picked a seat beside Xian Yu and sat down to rest.
At that time, it was already six in the evening.
The fiery red clouds coupled with the birds made one lose themselves in the dazzling and beautiful sunset.
Jiang Weiyang, who did not know that Murong Qiao had already discovered her from the surveillance cameras, was standing in the mall, leisurely holding a cup of tea and eating dessert with Huo Ya, listening to the people beside her. Thinking of how she had followed them and ended up witnessing that scene, Jiang Weiyang calmly suppressed the emotions in her heart.
It was a pity that Murong Qiao wasn’t injured.
Thinking of this, a faint regret appeared in Jiang Weiyang’s heart. Then, she recalled Murong Qiao looking very worried about Murong Chuan at that time. Looking at her especially flustered, the corners of Jiang Weiyang’s mouth curled up slightly.
Huo Ya, who was sitting beside Jiang Weiyang, happened to take in this hidden smile. However, her hands were clenched tightly together. She could not help but frown as she looked at Jiang Weiyang. She wanted to say something but hesitated because there were other people sitting around.
At noon, Huo Ya thought that Jiang Weiyang was here to play with her. However, when she saw Jiang Weiyang walking in a very clear direction, right on the heels of that incident, no matter how stupid Huo Ya was, she should understand what she meant.
She wanted to ask Jiang Weiyang if this matter was related to the other party, but in this situation, it did not seem appropriate to ask. Huo Ya was even more afraid of getting her good friend into trouble.
“Speaking of which, there seemed to be a knife-wielding incident at the mall just now. Did you see it?” It was unknown who started the conversation. Huo Ya’s heart tightened and she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Weiyang. However, Jiang Weiyang, who was sitting beside her, ate the dessert in front of her without changing her expression, as if it had nothing to do with her. The person who had just spoken spoke again. “I heard that the Murong Family was there.”
“The Murong Family? Is it the one who just got engaged to the Huo Family? When sharp words like these appeared, everyone’s interest surged.
Huo Ya could not hide her thoughts to begin with. Now that they mentioned it, she felt even more uneasy. In the end, she simply stood up herself.
“I’m sorry, I’m not feeling well today, so I’ll go home first,” she said hurriedly. Her sudden action of getting up shocked the person beside her.
Jiang Weiyang naturally knew Huo Ya well. Seeing her say this, she followed suit. ”1’11 go back with you.”
She would never expose herself, and that person would never speak about her. But if Huo Ya guessed something-
just in case, Jiang Weiyang followed Huo Ya out of the mall and took the car home.
When they got in the car, the chauffeur was in front and there was soundproofing in the middle. Huo Ya finally could not help but ask Jiang Weiyang.
“Weiyang, you keep telling me that at noon ”
However, before Huo Ya could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jiang Weiyang with a smile.
Jiang Weiyang had already thought of an explanation for Huo Ya since noon.
“At that time, I wanted to look for you to go up with me, but I seemed to have seen an acquaintance at the last minute and followed suit. In the end, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.” Jiang Weiyang pretended to make the corresponding expression.
It was as if she really had nothing to do with the entire matter.
Hearing her words, Huo Ya naturally chose to believe Jiang Weiyang immediately. The huge burden in her heart slowly lifted, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Huo Ya had done something bad when she was with Jiang Weiyang, it was just that—
Thinking of how terribly injured the boy was when he was carried away and covered in blood, she still closed her eyes.
In this quiet atmosphere, Jiang Weiyang suddenly said, “You suspect that I did it?”
“No!” Huo Ya instinctively denied.
However, this answer without any hesitation seemed to give out another answer, indicating her previous guess was right.
Then there was silence in the car..
