Chapter 329: Chapter 329: His Ex-Girlfriend
Noon.
Su He received a call from Fei Yue.
She said An Mi was injured.
When she rushed to the hospital, she saw Fei Yue standing at the entrance of the emergency room with two little ones.
“What happened? Wasn’t everything fine when you went out this morning?” Su He asked with furrowed brows.
“Mommy~”
“Auntie~”
As soon as the two little ones saw Su He, they threw themselves at her.
Each clung to one of her legs.
“It’s okay, darling, it’s all right now.”
Su Baobao looked up with a small face, his little brows revealing a sense of worry: “Mommy, you mustn’t let anything happen to Auntie.”
Su Yuxuan also said in a babyish voice: “Auntie, Auntie An Mi got hurt protecting me.”
Then Fei Yue continued: “Today, Miss An Mi took the young master and Miss Yuxuan to the children’s amusement mall. But as they were about to take the escalator down, suddenly someone dashed out and hit Miss An Mi. It was so sudden, Miss An Mi couldn’t dodge in time. She could only manage to push Miss Yuxuan away and then she rolled down the escalator herself.”
Fei Yue was terrified at that time.
Fortunately, someone at the bottom pressed the escalator’s emergency stop button in time.
There were also others at the bottom of the escalator, and fortunately, by the end, two men managed to catch her, so she only rolled halfway down.
But An Mi was still injured.
Not only was she hurt, but two girls in front of her also got injured, though they were only minor injuries.
Only An Mi sustained the most serious injuries; the two girls managed to dodge in time and weren’t brought down with her.
The escalator was very long, so it resulted in her right leg fracturing, her left hand also fractured, and she had multiple scrapes on her body.
Actually, Fei Yue still feels a bit of lingering fear when she recalls the incident.
Actually, if it hadn’t been for An Mi’s quick reaction to grab the side railing, she would have been knocked flying, not tumbling down the escalator.
The escalator was 64 meters long and over twenty meters high. If she had fallen off directly, she would have been gone.
She still feels frightened thinking about it now.
At that time, she was holding Su Baobao and had caught Su Yuxuan who was pushed towards her. She had no chance of pulling An Mi to safety.
The more Su He listened, the tighter her brows knit together.
“Was it intentional or an accident?”
“The mall has already called the police. The person has been taken away, and we don’t know yet,” said Fei Yue. “But that person had a strong smell of alcohol on them.”
That was also what Fei Yue was worried about. Even if it was intentional, the person could use being drunk as a cover.
It’s actually the same principle as causing trouble while drunk.
Not long after, Jiang Yan and Wan Muqi arrived, along with Mr. An.
“Sister-in-law, how is An Mi?” Wan Muqi asked anxiously as he approached Su He.
Su He was with Jiang Yan when she called, and Wan Muqi happened to be with Jiang Yan then.
Mr. An frowned slightly when he saw Wan Muqi’s worried look.
But he had no mind to think about that at the moment. “Susu, what did the doctor say?”
Su He relayed exactly what Fei Yue had told her to them.
All three agreed that this was not a simple accident.
There are many accidents in this world.
But some accidents hide filthy tricks behind them.
Su He said, “Now we can only wait for the investigation results from the police.”
Jiang Yan spoke with a solemn tone, “Jiang Feng, find someone to keep an eye on the details of the investigation process.”
Jiang Feng: “Yes, Master.”
After responding, Jiang Feng turned to make a phone call.
…
“The patient is currently not in life-threatening danger. She has a fractured tibia in her right leg and a fractured wrist in her left hand. It takes a hundred days to recover from bone and tendon injuries, so she needs to rest well. Additionally, there was impact to her head when she rolled down the escalator, causing a mild concussion. That also needs attention. If the patient wakes up and feels any discomfort, just press the call button and inform us immediately.”
After the doctor gave his instructions, he left.
And Su He followed the doctor to see An Mi’s X-rays.
After reading it, she finally felt completely at ease, with a clear understanding in her heart.
Half an hour after An Mi was transferred back to the general ward, she woke up.
Upon waking, she felt pain all over, as if she had been severely beaten.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Su He sitting beside the hospital bed.
“Sis.”
She called out hoarsely.
Seeing her awake, Su He asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Especially your head.”
An Mi: “Sis, I’m thirsty.”
Hearing this, Su He turned around to pour her some water.
After drinking some water, An Mi felt her mouth was not so uncomfortable anymore.
She saw her right leg and left arm both in plaster casts, and her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
“Sis, I…”
“I know what you want to ask, don’t worry, it’s alright. You just need to take good care of yourself during your recovery, though your movements will be somewhat inconvenient for some time,” Su He said. “Also, your head was hit, resulting in a mild concussion. If you feel unwell, you must tell me immediately.”
“Okay, I got it.”
After thinking for a moment, Su He asked, “Have you had any disputes with anyone recently?”
In fact, Su He didn’t really want to ask this question, since An Mi’s personality is indeed not one to argue with others.
But it could not be ruled out that she might have encountered some difficult or narrow-minded people.
An Mi thought for a while, “No, not really.”
“Recently, I’ve only been in contact with classmates and teachers at school, going from dormitory to classroom to library.”
Those around her were also her classmates, and then there were Jinjin and the other two.
Plus, recently she got to know Guo Xuyan, and there’s been no one else.
But still…
Seeing her hesitation, Su He asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
An Mi pursed her red lips and said, “Sis, I’m not sure if it counts as having had a dispute with this person.”
She had only conversed with Song Yafei once, and there wasn’t any heated language involved.
She recounted her encounter with Song Yafei to her sister.
Upon understanding the situation, Su He realized that this woman was introduced to Wan Muqi by her father, and she saw An Mi as a rival in love.
“Sis, I don’t want to wrongly accuse anyone, and although Miss Song indeed said those words to me, the Song Family and Dad have a relationship, so she probably wouldn’t do such things behind the scenes,” said An Mi.
“An Mi, human nature can be insidious, and you shouldn’t underestimate how strong jealousy can be,” said Su He.
Su He understood her meaning, “Don’t worry, I will find out the truth about this matter. If it wasn’t her doing, that would be best. I will talk to Dad about it.”
An Mi uttered a “hmm” in response.
An Mi had always trusted her sister; with Su He around, she felt immensely reassured.
“By the way, sis, how are Xixi and Xuanxuan? I hope the two little ones weren’t scared too badly,” asked An Mi.
“They’re fine, I asked Fei Yue to take them back,” replied Su He.
“That’s good.”
An Mi reflected on the event and felt a chill.
If Xuanxuan had rolled down with her, she was so small… the consequences would have been too dreadful to imagine.
…
In the afternoon, Su He went to find Mr. An.
“This… how is this possible?” Mr. An was also somewhat shocked after hearing it.
His shock was not from disbelieving what Su He suspected about Song Yafei, but rather from having trouble believing that Wan Muqi was interested in An Mi.
After all this time, he had not realized that Wan Muqi could have feelings for his own younger daughter.
“If I had known this, I wouldn’t have introduced Old Song’s daughter to him,” said Mr. An.
If it were indeed planned by Old Song’s daughter, then An Mi would not have suffered today.
“You don’t need to blame yourself for this, it’s not related to you,” Su He said.
Mr. An replied, “Just go ahead and investigate this matter, don’t worry about how it will affect my relationship with the Song Family.”
Ultimately, it was his daughter who was injured, and he had no need to specifically protect his friend’s daughter.
For him, Song Yafei was just an outsider.
Even the Emperor must be punished according to the law like a commoner.
“But, Susu, the matter between your sister and Mu Qi…” Mr. An hesitated, “Mimi is still young, they wouldn’t…”
Su He knew what he was worried about.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Wan knows what he’s doing.” She thought for a moment and then asked, “You don’t object to them being together, do you?”
If she hadn’t misunderstood just now, he meant that if he had known earlier that Wan Muqi was interested in An Mi, he wouldn’t have interfered.
Doesn’t that imply tacit approval?
Su He’s question was also asked on behalf of the two of them.
After a moment of silence, Mr. An said, “My thinking is not so conservative and feudal. I’m just a bit worried because your sister is still young. But if they get along and like each other, of course, I won’t object.”
Su He nodded, “Okay, then I understand; I’ll relay your thoughts to her.”
…
The next day.
The police gave their conclusion.
After interrogating the drunkard all night, he finally told the truth.
Jiang Yan and Su He received a call and rushed to the police station.
“President Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, this man’s name is Li Wei, a well-known drunkard from Shibe Street. He spends his days doing nothing but drinking. According to his confession last night, he said someone he didn’t know called him the previous evening, promising him $100,000 for doing a job. At first, he thought it was a scam and didn’t take it seriously, but right after he hung up, $50,000 was transferred into his bank account. Then yesterday morning, he received an address and a photo; the address was of the mall where your sister had the accident, and the photo was of your sister herself.”
“Unfortunately, Li Wei doesn’t know who hired him, and he even said he couldn’t tell whether the caller was male or female. We suspect that the caller used a voice changer to disguise their voice. As for the phone number, it was a burner. Fortunately, we were able to find a foreign man named Tony through the bank transfer records, but he is currently abroad and out of our reach for arrest.”
Su He frowned slightly, “Abroad?”
“Yes, the other party is clever, making it difficult for us to do anything. Even if there was a way, we would have to go through procedures. By the time the procedures are done, the person may have already run off.”
If Su He remembered correctly, Song Yafei had just returned from abroad.
If this was a coincidence, it was all too coincidental.
Moreover, An Mi wouldn’t have had any contact with foreigners; she had lived here all her life and never travelled anywhere.
“Alright, we understand, thank you Officer Huang.” Su He said, “I wanted to ask, can you provide us with some information about this foreigner named Tony?”
“Sure, I’ll ask someone to print out a copy for you shortly.”
“Great, thank you for your help.”
“Don’t worry, we will continue to investigate this case, but it may take some time.”
“Understood.”
“…”
After getting into the car, Jiang Yan asked, “Do you suspect someone?”
She hadn’t yet told him what An Mi said yesterday.
After listening, Jiang Yan said, “Let Jiang Feng and his team investigate this.”
Jiang Feng quickly stepped in, “Right, Young Madam, just leave it to me.”
Su He: “Thank you; that would be great.”
Jiang Feng said cheerfully, “No trouble at all, this is what I should do. Besides, it’s my honor to handle affairs for the Young Madam, I couldn’t be happier; how could it be troublesome?”
His flattery was just…
From the front passenger seat, Jiang Qi glanced sidelong at him, “Have you taken the wrong medication?”
Jiang Feng: “You’re the one who took the wrong medication. What’s wrong with expressing my true feelings? Why do you always have to meddle?”
Jiang Qi: “…”
“Bootlicker.”
Jiang Qi muttered.
Jiang Feng clicked his tongue, “No, Jiang Qi, you think I’m hard of hearing? Who are you calling a bootlicker?”
Jiang Qi: “Whoever admits it is the one, I wasn’t naming names.”
“…”
Su He watched as the two unexpectedly started bickering out of nowhere.
Before, Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi would never dare to bicker in front of Jiang Yan like this.
It’s only after Su He’s return, with her being around, that they occasionally dare to do such childish things.
In the hospital.
Chen Jin, Zhu Zhu, and Hu Hui, upon learning about her injury, took leave early in the morning to visit her.
All three felt a surge of heartache when they saw her hands and feet in casts.
Not knowing how to comfort her, even the usually talkative Chen Jin fell silent in an instant.
“Mimi, don’t worry, I will take careful notes in class and then bring them to you for review,” Chen Jin said.
“Thank you, Jinjin.”
An Mi smiled when she saw the three of them with fallen faces: “Don’t be like this. It’s just a fracture; it’s not a big deal.”
Zhu Zhu said, “We saw the video of your fall online. You have no idea; it scared us to death.”
Hu Hui added, “Yeah, and that escalator was so long. We should check the almanac before going out next time. With so many people around, it’s just so happen to be you. It’s really…”
Chen Jin also felt curious, “Exactly, why did it just happen to be you? And the drunk in the video didn’t seem to bump into you accidentally, it seemed more deliberate.”
That video, Chen Jin watched it several times that night, the more she watched it, the stranger it seemed.
An Mi pursed her red lips and said, “Thank you all, but whether this was an accident or deliberate, you don’t need to worry. The police uncle is on the case. You just focus on attending your classes.”
She didn’t want them to get involved in this matter because it had nothing to do with them.
Chen Jin and the others didn’t stay long and went back to school soon after.
Not long after they left, Wan Muqi arrived with Guo Xuyan.
Guo Xuyan was always impulsive. As soon as she entered, she wanted to hug An Mi.
“Mimi, I’m here…”
But the next second, a hand grabbed the collar of her clothes from behind and yanked her back.
It was like picking up a little chick.
“Hey, brother, why are you grabbing my collar?”
Guo Xuyan cried out in a hurry.
“Don’t touch her, she’s injured, she can’t bear your weight!”
Wan Muqi’s serious voice resounded in her ear.
The tone was full of warning.
Guo Xuyan was speechless…
“Do you think I’m blind? Can’t I see?”
She knew how to be gentle, of course, she wouldn’t touch An Mi’s wound.
“If you don’t want me to touch your person, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush calling me fat when I’m thin!”
Wan Muqi: “Since you know, then tone down your enthusiasm a bit.”
After saying that, the man stopped paying attention to her.
He looked gently at An Mi on the hospital bed and asked, “Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?”
His tone was incredibly gentle.
Had Guo Xuyan not known he was not ill, she might have thought he had multiple personality disorder.
She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.
Then she looked at An Mi, “My poor Mimi, to have suffered such a serious injury. In my opinion, the person who hit you should be sent to jail for a decade or so; it’d keep others safe from harm.”
“Brother, leave it to you. You’re an expert in this field. Just pin any charge on him, and it would make him rot in jail,” Guo Xuyan said, looking at Wan Muqi.
On the way here, Wan Muqi had already learned the results of the police investigation from Jiang Yan.
If this matter was indeed related to Song Yafei, he bore some responsibility for An Mi’s injuries.
…
Jiang Feng’s work efficiency was extremely high; by the next day, he had already thoroughly investigated the background of the foreign man named Tony.
He had even dug up information on several of his ex-girlfriends and his family relations going back four generations.
“Young Madam, I have looked into Tony’s social relations. There isn’t a woman named Song Yafei listed, but there is a woman named Linda who is his ex-girlfriend. Coincidentally, I checked Song Yafei’s English name, and her English name is Linda.”
“Then, I had someone inquire about Song Yafei’s classmates from her time studying abroad, and the English name she used was indeed the same.”
“But now there’s a problem. We can’t find any evidence of contact between Song Yafei and Tony, so the police cannot arrest her. Even if they do arrest her, she’ll have a reason to argue her case.”
Having said this, Jiang Feng looked at Su He, waiting for her to speak.
Su He was silent for a few seconds.
Her voice clear and cool: “Since there’s no evidence, then we’ll just have to create some for her.”
