“The capital…” Gu Zhaoming was in a daze as he clenched his fists.
Gu Jin said coldly, “It can’t be an accident.”
“We haven’t come to a conclusion yet and will continue to investigate. It’s just that we can rule out the possibility that the car accident wasn’t orchestrated by the Gu family’s business partners.”
Lin Ran actually suspected foul play. As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Gu Jin and hesitated.
Gu Jin said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Lin Ran smiled awkwardly. “Miss Gu, the car was heading towards you and your sister. I want to ask, have you offended anyone recently?”
As far as he knew, Gu Jin’s identity as the Godly Doctor had saved many people, but she had also incurred the wrath of many.
After all, the Godly Doctor was renowned, and anyone who sought her aid was either affluent or influential. Saving someone might jeopardize the interests of certain individuals, while refusing assistance could breed resentment.
Lin Ran sensed that if this car accident was intentional, it was likely aimed at Gu Jin.
Gu Jin narrowed her eyes. She had indeed made enemies. However, if they were targeting her, it couldn’t be a simple car accident.
Gu Jin said, “They shouldn’t be here for me.”
“Then, Sister Gu?” Lin Ran pondered, touching his chin and glancing at Gu Yang. “Apart from the Wang and Xue families, Sister doesn’t seem to have offended anyone.”
Gu Yang thought of the two siblings from the Katie family whom Gu Jin had crossed paths with not long ago.
In terms of causing offense, those two had certainly been deeply affronted by her.
However, they were all Mutants. It seemed improbable that they would resort to such a crude method of revenge, didn’t it?
Gu Yang asked, “Could it be Ye Qingzi?”
Lin Ran frowned. “I don’t think so. You’ve only had minor disagreements with her. Does she need to resort to murder?”
Gu Yang also found it theoretically unlikely, but supporting characters in novels sometimes acted irrationally under the influence of the plot.
At that moment, Feng Jue, who had been absorbed in his phone, suddenly looked up. “What if the murderer’s goal isn’t to kill but to disrupt my sister’s and the others’ college entrance examinations?”
Lin Ran looked puzzled. “Disrupt their college entrance exams?”
Gu Pei furrowed his brow. “How is that possible? The driver was speeding so recklessly. If it was intentional, it clearly aimed to cause fatalities.”
Feng Jue raised his eyebrows slightly. “Didn’t the car lose control?”
Lin Ran grasped the implication. “You mean the driver initially intended to injure Gu Jin and Gu Yang, but the car’s loss of control and brake failure led to the severe outcome?”
“If that’s the case, Ye Qingzi does indeed become a suspect.” Lin Ran stroked his chin.
Ye Qingzi had been compelled to return to the capital by Ye Hanchen. However, she harbored resentment from the incident at the Gu family’s birthday banquet and was unlikely to let it slide.
While this grudge might not warrant a life-threatening response, it could prompt her to sabotage Gu Jin’s and Gu Yang’s college entrance exams, leading to their failure.
Lin Ran glanced at Feng Jue, sensing there was more to him than met the eye. “But this is merely speculation. Do you have any evidence?”
Feng Jue slid his phone forward. “The car’s brake failure wasn’t coincidental. Initially, the car wasn’t traveling at such high speed, but its system was manipulated by a hacker.”
“You’re acquainted with this hacker, Smile. This is his signature.”
Lin Ran examined the device before him, a miniature computer resembling a phone. After scrutinizing it for a moment, he looked up at Feng Jue. “Boss, I grasp the gist of what you’re saying, but decoding this data is beyond my expertise.”
