Chapter 604 - News: Double Accident

CHAPTER 604
“Hahha hahaha…”
Li Jing’s face was full of smiles. She was finally home. Although not healed but this was better than remaining in the hospital.
Ye Cheng smiled at her. He was happy seeing her laughing even though she was not too good.
“I am so sorry my love. So sorry you had to go through this.”
“Nah, I am so fine. You really need to stop apologizing you know. It is one of those things that happens.”
“True. Anyways, what do you want me to do for you. Say the word and it would be yours.”
“Haha, nothing much. Think I should watch the news. Let me know the latest update.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Fine, I would put on the tv for you? Do not worry.”
He stood up from the bed, got the remote and switched on the television. To their amazement, the second he did, the station was showing the news for the day and the news being broadcasted left Li Jing wide-eyed.
“Yes Cheng, how…”
Her lips remained parted as she listened on.
“It seems to be a wonder are the higher-ups keep getting accident these days. For some, they think it is a bad omen that things are not going well with the country but just today, the granddaughter of Chairman Zhang and her boyfriend got into an accident in front of her house with a car slamming into theirs before their departure.”
Li Jing tilted her head back. That was something definitely.
“And just a few minutes later, it was reported that a similar accident had occurred to the first daughter of the Li Family, Li Xiu and sister of the famous Li Jing. For some reason, it is no coincidence that both Li daughters were involved in similar car accidents. The police are doing their best to investigate the issue while the mass, some are being happy and some are sad.”
“Really now?”
All the while she commented in between the news, Ye Cheng did not utter a single word and allowed her to do or say what she wanted to.
“With regards to this, more and more voices are crying out on social media. Some call it nemesis, some state there must be a hidden ploy behind it and others send their best wishes. So, how is it over in your city, Hung Su Lee? Over to you then.”
“This is…” Li Jing paused and then turned to her side to look at her husband who till now had not said anything about anything.
“Ye Cheng, did you have a hand in any of this?”
“Yes and no,” he answered truthfully turning to look at her.
“Yes and no? I do not understand you.” She adjusted her sitting position so she was facing him squarely and could look into his eyes. “Tell me, honey, what is going on?”
“I simply allowed them to witness the beauty of Karma.”

“Karma?’
“Umm, you really should not be bothered. When the accident occurred, I asked my friend to look into it. I knew it was not just simple that you were lured out to work on Saturday for a flimsy excuse and on your way, you got attacked. Because that was no accident.”
“But…”
“No buts, baby,” he interjected. “This is life and no more would I sit down and allow them to think they have the right to toy with you or any member of my family. No more.”
She could clearly see the anger in her husband’s eyes. He was mad at them for even trying to hurt her when they had no right in the first place.
“I understand,” She finally voiced out, shocking him with her answer.
“You do?”
“Yes. I myself, I already said enough of people tormenting me or trying to hurt me. I felt my sister Li Xiu had a hand in it but not Bai Qing Mei.”
“And why?” He took his seat close to her and slid his hand to cover her left palm.
“Because I warned her. Perhaps she took my warning as a threat but I had to.”
“Did she did she do something wrong to you, that made you go over to warn her?”
“Not really. I went over to the house to see my foster father.”

“You what? Why? Are they trying to get money from you or what? Why did you have to go to that evil house?”
“I needed to.”
“Li Jing.” He took a long pause, trying his best to access the issue and think before talking. “Wait, what is going on? Is there something you are keeping from me? You know you promised to tell me the truth, love.”
“I did and I am not lying. Then tell me what took you to their house in the first place.”
“Fine. You know I told you I had something concerning my family?”
“Yes, you didn’t give me details.”
“Yes. I wanted to get confirmation on some things first before I bring you into the picture.”
“But why?” His voice came out low. He was sad though but he knew her decisions were made for a good reason so he could not scold her.
“I am sorry, honey. I really wanted to sort things out on my own. Not because you couldn’t help me but I believed you had your own problems and I had mine. You still needed to look for Sying with your mum and I needed to find my family.”
“It is okay, but know that your problems are mine and mine yours. We handle it together. Okay, I am not scolding you but you would have to let me in on everything, okay?”
“Sure. So, I got a private investigator since when I was over at my grandfather’s house.”
“Okay. From there I found out that my aunties were a big problem.”
“How so?”
“They had intercepted all of grandfather’s investigation, preventing him from finding my mum after she ran away.”
“Families, relatives are a pain in the neck.”
“I know. So that was why when grandfather searched, he did not find her. The good thing now was that I knew the stumbling block and I could easily evade them. So he searched and at the end, I found out that my mother had moved to a different city and changed her identity.”
“So no matter what your grandfather would have done, he wouldn’t have found her, because he first had his family preventing it and she changed her identity.”
“Exactly. Luckily, he got a good lead and recently, I found out that my father, was dead.”
“I am so sorry love. I am honestly sorry.”
“It is okay. He died a really long time. Around the time when I was brought to the Li’s residence. After that, there was no proper lead to the investigation and everything stopped. There was no lead or trace of my mother and I anywhere.”
“How is that possible?”
“I do not know. All I know is that an accident caused the separation. I was found later on, though I lost my memories butmy mother, no one know about her whereabouts till date.”
“This is something serious. How can one just… Well it can be possible. Perhaps she did not want to be found again.”
“But she had me to worry about. I know something is wrong or off.”
“Yeah but only one person can helpout a bit. Is that why you went to see your foster father?”
“Exactly. He had always told me he adopted me but nothing more.”
“I see.”
“He needs to tell me from where and how, so I can trace and see where I was found and if there is any news of my mother.”
“I understand you. It is a great progress. So what did you find?”
“He wasn;t at home. Just the mother and daughter witches. They got me mad and I warned Li Xiu. Unfortunately, she attacked e the very next day.”
“Now you see why I needed to teach them a lesson?”
“I understand but whet if the police figure itout?”
“They wouldn’t. You do not have to worry.” He held her hand and brought it to his lips, placing small kisses on her knuckles.
“It is okay. I am not worried. I am happy in fact. They got what was coming to them and even if they do not get injured, they most definitely would feel the fear of almost losing their lives. And that can act as a warning to them.”
“Yes. And I was careful too. Like Bai Qing Mei’s accident, it was caused by her grandfather’s right hand man himself. The one that gave her away. So it was only natural he did the doings to her himself. It would hurt her most knowing he was the one.”
“I see. Brilliant. Worse case scenario, the police can only blame him for doing so and he cannot blame you either.”
“He may try to but I believe Fong Wei Ling would have something against him, so he cannot speak. Anywas, just relax, there is more to ocme.. I would teach each on eof them not to mess with me and my wife again.”
