CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 363: STILL ONE STEP BEHIND

Shi Lingyan’s brows were tightly furrowed as he suddenly thought of today’s bizarre car accident and asked, "What’s the name of the hospital where the medical examination was done?"

Shi Mei tilted her head ponderously, as if in deep meditation, and after several seconds, finally said, "I don’t know, but I do know, oh, the director is a handsome uncle with blue eyes and blond hair, and he complimented me!"

Shi Mei seemed quite pleased with herself, her mood decidedly buoyant, "He said that Shi Mei is so cute, hee hee hee!"

"Fei’er?"

"Eh," Shi Mei looked surprised, "How did you know? It seems like it was Fei’er, yes, Dr. Fei’er, hmhm, super handsome!"

Shi Lingyan’s brows relaxed slightly, his expression growing increasingly solemn, "I see."

Shi Mei looked at Shi Lingyan’s face, not quite understanding, and leaned in, "Then can husband speak English? Can you teach me?"

"Let’s talk about it later, rest first." Shi Lingyan dropped this comment and turned to leave.

Shi Mei watched his retreating figure, her heartbeat gradually accelerating.

What did he mean by that?

Looking at him, he seemed unaware of Bai Yuejie taking her for the medical examination.

Does this mean that Shi Lingyan had no intention of killing the fool, and it was all Bai Yuejie’s plan from the start?

The moment this thought leaped into her mind, it spiraled out of control.

Indeed, if Shi Lingyan were involved in this matter, with his methods, it wouldn’t possibly be as clumsy as it was now.

Planning a murder in broad daylight—when even if Shi Mei’s heart were successfully transplanted into her, the suspicion would be too great. If Shi Lingyan had a hand in it, he would definitely have the ability to clear Bai Yuejie completely.

Just like back then, no evidence left behind, all surveillance, all proof, all covered up by them—Shi Lingyan and the pure, white bloom remaining untainted as ever.

No... that’s not right.

In fact, there currently wasn’t any evidence to implicate Bai Yuejie, it was all just her conjecture.

She made this guess solely because Bai Yuejie had previously taken her for a medical examination, so she was convinced that Bai Yuejie’s heart couldn’t take it any longer, a desperate move.

And Bai Yuejie thought of her as a fool, oblivious to the world, which is why she carried out this plan so confidently.

So she didn’t actually have evidence to prove that it was done by Bai Yuejie.

Shi Mei felt somewhat troubled.

She needed to find evidence quickly.

Frowning, Shi Mei messaged Ye Tiao.

Ye Tiao replied quickly: ’I’m on it, I’ve asked my dad to help.’

Ye Tiao’s father was the head of the top pharmaceutical company in Xia Country, naturally, he had his own channels of investigation.

Seeing this message, Shi Mei felt not reassured but a deep sense of powerlessness.

If she were still Tang Wu, she could have taken matters into her own hands.

Her network, built up over a decade, was not to be underestimated.

Or at least, she could ask her father and uncle for help, rather than feeling so helpless now, knowing who the murderer was and their motive but still unable to act.

Less than ten minutes later, Ye Tiao replied: ’The driver is currently detained by police officers. I thought we were quick enough, but before our people could get there, someone else had already intervened.’

Shi Mei’s heart sank and she asked, ’Who?’

[Ye Tiao]: Shi Lingyan

Seeing the expected name, Shi Mei let out a heavy sigh; the feeling of powerlessness swept over her once again.

She was still one step behind.
