When Fu Jie wanted to explain further, his gaze finally fell on Xu Ruowei. After a moment's thought, he decided against it. He believed that once he had resolved this matter, Xu Ruowei would naturally understand him.
By then, even without an explanation, she would forgive him.
Fu Jie looked at the people before him and said calmly, "You are all accusing Ruowei, but do you have any evidence?"
Everyone looked at Fu Jie with questioning, almost pitying eyes.
"I have brought the person here today. I hope that after you know the truth, you will apologize to Ruowei. Because, from beginning to end, Ruowei was innocent."
"She is such a kind person; she shouldn't have to bear so much."
After speaking, Fu Jie signaled for the person to be dragged in.
"Yuwen Hao, I believe you are not unfamiliar with him."
"All of this was done by Yuwen Hao. Wang Xuerou's current state is because Yuwen Hao hit her with his car."
"If you don't believe me, I have the evidence here."
Seeing Yuwen Hao's continued silence, Fu Jie kicked him fiercely and reprimanded him coldly, "Are you waiting for me to speak for you by staying silent?"
"Or do you need to endure more torment before you will speak?" Fu Jie displayed a harsh side when dealing with Yuwen Hao, unlike his demeanor with Xu Ruowei.
"No, I didn't. This wasn't me."
"Fu Jie, to keep Xu Ruowei out of it, you resorted to harming me and forcing me to comply."
"Fu Jie, I will not let you have your way," Yuwen Hao stated coldly.
"Harming you?" Xu Ruowei's gaze fell on Yuwen Hao. "Yuwen Hao, I never expected it was you. So, you were behind all of this."
Fu Jie frowned slightly. "Yuwen Hao, you just admitted it, and now you're backtracking. It seems the torment wasn't enough."
Yuwen Hao laughed, a loud, unbridled laugh. "If I hadn't pretended to admit it, I would have lost my life long ago. To survive, I had to confess."
"Now, I am no longer afraid of you."
Fu Jie cast a cold glance at Yuwen Hao. "There is video evidence of you driving the car, and all other evidence. Do you think you can escape?"
Yuwen Hao's gaze shifted to Xu Ruowei. So, this was how it was.
It seemed she was the one pulling the strings. He had truly underestimated Xu Ruowei.
Xu Ruowei's eyes gleamed with smugness. While Fu Jie was investigating, she had already made all the necessary arrangements.
However, Fu Jie's actions were too slow.
It had taken this long to resolve the matter. If he had been any slower, her life could have been forfeit at any moment.
Would he be able to live with such peace of mind then?
Xu Ruowei was actually displeased with Fu Jie's tardiness.
As the dispute reached a stalemate, Xu Ruowei walked over to Yuwen Hao and whispered in his ear, "By the way, Yuwen Hao, if I recall correctly, your elderly mother is still in the hospital, and she requires a large sum of money, doesn't she? If you offend me, your mother will have to pay the price."
"Think carefully about what you say next, as it concerns your mother's life. If you cross me, I will certainly not spare your mother."
"Xu Ruowei, how dare you," Yuwen Hao retorted, his voice filled with suppressed rage.
Xu Ruowei smiled, a triumphant smile.
"What is there that I dare not do?" Xu Ruowei glanced at Fu Jie standing beside her and said smugly into Yuwen Hao's ear, "With Fu Jie by my side, no one dares to lay a hand on me."
"Aren't you afraid that Fu Jie will find out who you truly are and resent you?"
"Heh, afraid? Why should I be afraid?"
"Let me tell you, Fu Jie witnessed everything before, yet he still chose to stand by my side. Just admit it, Yuwen Hao."
Seeing that Yuwen Hao was beginning to waver, Xu Ruowei continued, "You're not thinking those people can help you, are you?"
"What you did to An Nuan back then, Nangong Jin will surely find out. And he will definitely not let you off the hook."
"You might even meet a more gruesome end."
Yuwen Hao hesitated, contemplating Xu Ruowei's words. It was true that he was now truly swayed by her.
"I..."
Xu Ruowei then whispered seductively in his ear, "If you take all the blame, I will personally cover all of your mother's medical expenses."
Yuwen Hao hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed.
"Xu Ruowei, can you keep your word?"
Xu Ruowei's eyes were full of smiles as she nodded. "Naturally."
Yuwen Hao ultimately took all the blame.
Yuwen Hao's confession made Xu Ruowei extremely proud.
However, in front of everyone, she feigned indignation, "You... Yuwen Hao, how could you frame me like this?"
"Now, the truth is finally out."
Fu Jie looked at An Nuan and Nangong Jin and said coldly, "Nangong Jin, you heard everything. It was all Yuwen Hao's doing. Since you were so aggressive towards Ruowei just now, shouldn't you apologize to her?"
"Apologize? Is she even worthy of it?"
Nangong Jin did not look at Yuwen Hao, nor did he ask him what had happened.
He believed that if Yuwen Hao was so adamant in his words, then he must have had some unspeakable difficulty. Perhaps Xu Ruowei held some leverage over him.
Seeing this, Fu Jingxuan realized that he could not touch Xu Ruowei because Fu Jie was on her side.
"All of you, get out."
"I will handle this matter myself."
In the end, Yuwen Hao was taken away, while Xu Ruowei remained unharmed.
Indeed, with Fu Jie's backing, Xu Ruowei could act with such impunity.
...
A month had passed since Wang Xuerou's incident. Wang Xuerou was still alive but had not woken up.
Fu Jingxuan continued to stay by her side in the hospital, taking care of her.
Meanwhile, An Nuan, who was supposed to marry Nangong Jin, had postponed their wedding date.
Nangong Jin did not ask An Nuan why.
An Nuan sometimes wondered if everything she was doing now was truly fair to Nangong Jin.
In reality, this matter had nothing to do with Nangong Jin, yet the postponement of the wedding had made him the subject of gossip.
An Nuan repeatedly apologized to Nangong Jin, but he would always smile and say, "An Nuan, this has nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry. I will handle it."
Nangong Jin was so good that she felt everyone else was unworthy of him.
