CHAPTER 541: CHAPTER 542: TEARING OFF THE MASK

"Everyone says it was an accident, so wasn’t it an accident?" Mr. Bai said.

"It wasn’t," Shi Lingyan enunciated every word, "She was murdered, premeditated for a long time, and the reason was her heart."

Mr. Bai’s face darkened, "What do you mean by that!"

Observing his reaction, Shi Lingyan slightly narrowed his eyes and took two steps closer to Mr. Bai, speaking calmly, "Tang Wu’s car accident left her with multiple comminuted fractures, extensive soft tissue injuries, and severe internal bleeding leading to her death despite rescue efforts. But why, of all things, was Tang Wu’s heart perfectly intact, even the major arteries around it unharmed? Do you think it’s merely a coincidence?"

Mr. Bai’s frown deepened, "If not a coincidence, what is it then? It was said to be a car accident. If it was as you suggest, a premeditated murder, who could ensure that the heart was precisely preserved while she was still killed?"

"In such a severe car accident, the first thing that should break is the windshield, and the shattered glass would inevitably cause injuries to the head, face, and upper body. However..." Shi Lingyan stepped forward, "Her main injuries were concentrated on her lower body, excessive bleeding, and damage to the abdominal organs ensured that while killing her, her heart was preserved. Don’t you think that’s too coincidental?"

Upon hearing Shi Lingyan’s words, Mr. Bai’s face slightly relaxed, "It was just an accident."

"Then, shortly after the ambulance had barely rescued Tang Wu, with the police still on their way, the car exploded into flames, erasing all traces—don’t you think that is too coincidental?"

Mr. Bai coldly said, "Given the severity of the accident, it’s not strange that the car was in danger of exploding."

"Heh," Shi Lingyan scoffed, "Then why, right after Tang Wu’s incident, did Bai Yuejie’s heart fail? Even if it’s due to the grief over Tang Wu’s death, how did you know right then that Tang Wu’s freshly expired heart would definitely match Bai Yuejie’s, and it was transplanted into Bai Yuejie in less than half a day? Don’t you think that’s too coincidental?"

By the end of his speech, Shi Lingyan’s voice had almost become a growl, "Uncle Bai, explaining everything with mere coincidences seems far too forced."

Mr. Bai’s face grew darker, and even a slight pallor, almost imperceptible, appeared; his fist tightened noiselessly, but his eyes had narrowed, carrying an evident disbelief.

Sensing Mr. Bai’s reaction, Shi Lingyan’s expression hardened, and he coldly said, "One coincidence is possible, two coincidences can happen, but how do you explain such a series of coincidences? Do you also want to say it was just Tang Wu’s fate, and Bai Yuejie is incredibly lucky?"

No one wishes for their loved ones to die.

Moreover, Bai Yuejie is Mr. Bai’s biological daughter, and he, more than anyone else, did not want Bai Yuejie to die.

Shi Lingyan had always believed that Bai Yuejie herself could not have orchestrated so much. Therefore, Mr. Bai and Madam Bai must have been involved.

He had always deeply respected this close friend of his father’s from years past, coupled with his commendable achievements and esteemed image over the years, Shi Lingyan, despite his suspicions, never thought to openly confront him.

However, Mr. Bai’s unreasonable demand had momentarily brought out such a statement from him.

Yet, upon saying these words, Mr. Bai’s reaction had greatly exceeded his expectations.
