CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 303: HOPE NEVER DIES

Qi Yan’s gaze shifted and he saw a haggard woman sitting inside the car... Her face looked somewhat terrifying.

It wasn’t that she was very ugly.

Rather, her face was smeared with dried bloodstains, as if she had narrowly escaped death...

Rong Yan smacked her forehead, realizing she had forgotten that the woman didn’t know how to open the car door, so she stepped back and opened it for her.

"Get out of the car!"

Mei Suzhen was somewhat timid at first, but remembering her horribly dead daughter... she took a deep breath and got out.

Qi Yan still didn’t understand the situation when Rong Yan, a step ahead of him, began to speak, "Qi Yan, why don’t you let someone else handle the interrogation, and come with me... Qin Zhen is surrounded by a dozen people, and it’s unclear whether his life is in danger. They all have weapons."

The hoes they were carrying were indeed weapons... Rong Yan was certain she wasn’t wrong.

Qi Yan was startled, "Does it have to do with her?"

He was pointing to Mei Suzhen.

Rong Yan nodded, "It’s her husband and those people from the village; we should head there first! If something were to happen, that would be bad."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan didn’t dare to waste any more time.

He immediately said, "Okay, wait for a moment, I’ll call up some people."

It was necessary to have enough manpower, as some villagers can be rather difficult to handle.

Moreover, they liked to gang up and bully others.

Rong Yan nodded, "Okay."

"Come with me inside." Qi Yan didn’t forget to take Mei Suzhen with him as he left.

In just a few minutes, Qi Yan came out again, followed by five or six people, among them the familiar face of Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang was somewhat surprised to see Rong Yan, as within just a few days, Mr. Rong had come to the station several times.

Moreover, she was involved in several cases alone.

That was somewhat magical.

And who exactly was Mr. Rong? She could even drive?

It was rare for girls to drive in those days.

It felt like she knew how to do everything... truly impressive.

"I’ll ride in Mr. Rong’s car; the rest of you follow behind." After Qi Yan had made the arrangements, he got into the passenger seat of Rong Yan’s car.

Once Rong Yan saw that he was seated, she floored the gas pedal, and the car shot out of the police station.

Qi Yan, seeing her speed... began to regret not driving himself.

"... Mr. Rong, slow down, watch out for pedestrians..."

"No worries, my driving skills are quite good, and time is of the essence, we can’t afford to be slow."

Qi Yan: "..." But the lives of pedestrians are also important.

He watched nervously as Rong Yan showed off her driving skills.

Finally, they arrived at their destination.

As soon as the car stopped, he got out eagerly, fighting back the feeling of nausea and approached Qin Zhen, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"I’m fine." Qin Zhen’s gaze briefly passed over him and landed on Rong Yan, who was getting out of the car behind him, and he let out a sigh of relief upon seeing her unharmed.

"What exactly happened with these people?" Qi Yan asked.

Qin Zhen had thought Rong Yan would have explained the situation to him on the way there.

But she hadn’t.

He had no idea that Qi Yan, who had been in Rong Yan’s car, wanted to ask, but Rong Yan was driving too fast for him to dare to distract her and risk an accident.

Qin Zhen, realizing Qi Yan really didn’t know anything, briefly explained the situation.

However, when he got to the part about the little girl’s death, Zhang Wu, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but angrily say, "My mom didn’t push her; the girl fell on her own. My mom wouldn’t lie to me... It was Mei Suzhen who went crazy; she killed my mom."

Qi Yan:...

"Everyone must go to the police station to clarify."

At that moment, Zhang Wu was furious, "Fine, let’s go. We’ve done no murder, committed no crime; do they not reason with you at the police station?"

The people he had brought with him initially didn’t want to go, but after hearing Zhang Wu’s words, they thought he was right.

They hadn’t killed or done anything wrong; why fear going to the police station?

So they all agreed, one by one getting ready to go.

Since there were only three cars, including the one Rong Yan had driven, there was no way to fit everyone.

Thus, Qi Yan told the drivers to drive back and others to walk these people back to the police station.

He also sent two people to investigate in Zhang Family Village...

"Let’s go!" Seeing that Qi Yan had things under control, Qin Zhen prepared to take Rong Yan home first.

"Alright." Rong Yan nodded.

Just as the two were about to get into the car, Qi Yan timely called out, "Qin Zhen, after you’ve taken Mr. Rong home, you need to come to the police station."

Qin Zhen: "... Okay."

After all, some of the individuals involved had sustained injuries from his blows.

And that injury on Mei Suzhen’s forehead was caused by hitting his car.

He had no choice but to go.

The two got in the car.

Rong Yan gave the driver’s seat back to Qin Zhen.

After Qin Zhen started the car, he finally asked, "Little sister, who did you learn to drive from?"

Out in the countryside... these kinds of cars were unavailable, so how did she learn?

In Jing City, her family was just average, making it even less likely she’d have access to such cars.

Besides, she had gone to the country two, no, two and a half years ago. How old was she then? How could she possibly know how to drive?

Rong Yan didn’t expect him to still be fixated on this matter!

"If I told you I learned in a dream, would you believe that?"

Qin Zhen:...

I believe—

You’re kidding.

"After my dad was discharged from the army, he worked at the Agricultural Machinery Station for a while, and I learned to drive a tractor then. I got lucky and had a chance to try it out, so... driving a car isn’t hard."

Qin Zhen:...

Getting a chance to drive a tractor, and then you can drive a car too?
