Chapter 1610 - 1610 Lying
1610 Lying
No matter how much his brother explained, Xia Mingzhen didn’t want to take the talisman, mainly because he didn’t believe in these things at all. He also felt that after something happened to his brother’s ex-girlfriend, his brother’s character had changed so much.
But at least his brother hadn’t gotten this talisman from Yuan Yuan.
At Xia Mingzhen’s age, he was especially curious. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Brother, where on earth did you buy this thing? It can’t be from some fortune-telling stall on the streets outside, right?” After a pause, Xia Mingzhen shook his head in disgust. “I won’t use this thing!”
Xia Mingcheng: …
In the end, Xia Mingcheng forced the Safety Talisman, a few Exorcism Talismans, and the Guiding Lightning Talisman on this kid with a few threatening words, so Xia Mingzhen accepted them with a constipated expression.
As for Mother Xia, Xia Mingcheng only gave her the Safety Talisman. He was also afraid that his mother thought the same as Mingzhen. If he gave her more, she might not want even the Safety Talisman. He could threaten Mingzhen, but not Mother Xia.
On the other side, Chi Shuyan went back to the police station in the evening as promised. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went over, Brother Feng informed her that it seemed Yuan Yuan and a driver had gotten into a car crash. The two of them still hadn’t woken up, and Feng Yuanlin was going to go and have a look.
“Shuyan, are you coming with me?” Feng Yuanlin asked.
Chi Shuyan’s face changed slightly when she heard that Yuan Yuan had been unlucky enough to get into a car crash. At the same time, she was really a little interested and curious about this matter. Since Yuan Yuan could read people’s faces and foresee the future, couldn’t she avoid the disaster herself?
Moreover, based on her suspicions, she felt that the deaths of Yan Liling and the others, as well as the things that Yang Ji and the others had provoked, had something to do with Yuan Yuan. Now that something had happened to her, however, she felt a little puzzled.
Fine, she would go take a look first.
She nodded. “Okay, I’ll go with you, Brother Feng, but before I go, I’ll take a look at Yang Ji and the others!”
Only then did Feng Yuanlin recall why she was here, and he immediately had someone take Shuyan to Yang Ji and the others.
When Chi Shuyan went to the holding cell, the others were in good condition, except for Yang Ji, who was in a daze. When she saw Yang Ji, Chi Shuyan immediately narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on his forehead, where the red line had turned redder.
For a moment, Chi Shuyan wasn’t sure when something would happen to Yang Ji. She just felt that the bright red line on his forehead was ominous.
Chi Shuyan frowned. At that moment, Yang Ji and the others also saw Chi Shuyan. They were still quite enthusiastic toward her. Yang Ji immediately got up and rushed to Chi Shuyan, shouting excitedly, “Master Chi! You’re here!”
Chi Shuyan’s face softened and she smiled at Yang Ji. “Mm, I came to see you.” After a pause, she said to the others, “Everyone, relax. You’ll be fine. By the way, I still have other things to do. I’ll leave after taking a look at you!”
Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to tell them that something had happened to Yuan Yuan, in case they panicked.
As for why something happened to Yuan Yuan and whether it was the same as what happened to Yan Liling and the others, that still needed to be investigated.
Before she left, she especially comforted Yang Ji, and sighed with relief when she saw his complexion improve.
She and Brother Feng took a police car to the hospital and arrived in half an hour. A dedicated nurse and doctor took them to the ward.
Compared with the driver, who was in a coma, Yuan Yuan’s luck was very good. She only had a slight concussion, and her injuries weren’t fatal. She only had light injuries, and woke up in the evening.
Before the doctor took them into Yuan Yuan’s ward, he instructed, “Although the patient only has light injuries, she’s a little traumatized. It’s best to speak gently and patiently to her!”
Feng Yuanlin naturally agreed. After the doctor and nurses left, Feng Yuanlin asked Tang Yunming if he had gone to the crime scene to investigate the cause of the car crash.
Tang Yunming immediately said that he hadn’t found anything unusual, and there was nothing wrong with the driver’s car. However, the reason the car lost control and crashed into a tree seemed to be because the driver had stepped hard on the gas.
Tang Yunming had personally gone to the crash site right after the accident happened, and had a better understanding of the situation. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said, “By the way, Director Feng, the doctor just said that the driver was seriously injured not only because of the car crash, but also because of fright. He must have suffered some kind of fright before the accident. As for what kind of fright he suffered, we’re not sure.”
Feng Yuanlin frowned deeply at Tang Yunming’s words and looked at Shuyan. Chi Shuyan hadn’t been to the scene, so she didn’t know the facts, and naturally couldn’t give an opinion.
Feng Yuanlin nodded. “Okay, let’s go in and question her.” Before pushing the door open, Feng Yuanlin looked at Shuyan and asked, “Shuyan, do you think this really was a car crash, or was it caused by the thing they provoked? Was it Yuan Yuan’s turn?”
Chi Shuyan hesitated for a moment before she said, “Brother Feng, why don’t we go in and question her first? I’ll answer your questions later!”
“Alright!”
The three went in together. Yuan Yuan had just woken up, and her face was pale, as if she had suffered a huge fright. It was only after a long while that she calmed down a little.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on Yuan Yuan’s forehead. There was no red line on her forehead at all, nor was there any yin energy around her. This crash was most likely really an accident, but she was quite puzzled as to what kind of fright the driver had suffered before the accident.
Chi Shuyan sized Yuan Yuan up. Feng Yuanlin pulled over a few chairs for Shuyan and Tang Yunming to sit down. He also sat in front of Yuan Yuan’s bed and sized her up. Seeing that she was in good spirits despite her pale face, he started to ask, “Miss Yuan, are you okay?”
Yuan Yuan replied calmly, “I’m fine!”
“Miss Yuan, why did the car crash?” Feng Yuanlin asked.
Yuan Yuan seemed to think of something, and her face stiffened slightly. She suddenly tugged agitatedly at Feng Yuanlin’s sleeve and asked, “Director Feng, is the taxi driver okay? Is he okay? Was he brought out safely?”
Feng Yuanlin thought that Yuan Yuan was worried about the taxi driver, and he indicated that he didn’t know the driver’s exact condition.
Yuan Yuan said with a pained and terrified expression, “It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, I wouldn’t have dragged him into things. It must be that thing we encountered before which wanted to harm me. It already killed Lin Ling, Lin Dong, and Guobin, and now it’s haunting me! I might be the next to die!”
The more Feng Yuanlin listened to the woman in front of him, the more solemn his face became. He raised his eyes and stared carefully at the woman’s expression, but couldn’t find the slightest trace of a lie. If this woman wasn’t telling the truth, she was too scheming and good at lying. Feng Yuanlin was subconsciously inclined to the latter.
For example, this car crash might really not have been an accident.
“Miss Yuan, can’t you predict that something will happen to you?” Feng Yuanlin asked curiously.
Compared with her previous unreasonableness, Yuan Yuan cooperated this time and smiled bitterly. “Director Feng, did Yang Ji and the others tell you about me? I can indeed make predictions, but I can only do so a little before something happens. It’s utterly useless.”
The more Yuan Yuan spoke, the more pained her expression became. “Liling, Lin Dong, Guobin – I couldn’t bear for any of them to die. I thought I could save them, but in the end, I couldn’t save any of them!”
“What on earth happened before the car crash?” Feng Yuanlin continued to ask.
Yuan Yuan was about to speak, when she suddenly clutched her head and lost control and shouted, “I can’t say, I can’t say, I don’t know, don’t ask me. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”
As Yuan Yuan spoke, she smashed a cup that was next to the bed. Fortunately, the cup was made of metal, and it clattered to the floor. It was an ear-piercing sound, but it didn’t shatter.
Yuan Yuan’s sudden madness gave Feng Yuanlin and Tang Yunming a fright. Not long after, the attending doctor and a few nurses immediately pushed the door open and came in. Seeing this, they could only give Yuan Yuan a sedative first.
After Yuan Yuan fainted, she would probably only wake up tomorrow. Feng Yuanlin and the others could only regretfully leave the hospital.
After they got into the car, the more Feng Yuanlin thought about it, the more regret he felt. He hadn’t asked anything, and was afraid that if the woman woke up tomorrow and was questioned once more, she would become agitated again.
Thinking this, the veins on Feng Yuanlin’s forehead throbbed. He couldn’t help but turn his head and ask Shuyan, “Shuyan, what do you think?”
Chi Shuyan said, “Brother Feng, I didn’t see any yin energy on Yuan Yuan. I think it indeed was just an accident.”
Feng Yuanlin suddenly sat up straight and immediately opened his eyes. “Shuyan, are you saying that she lied just now?”
