Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

"Thank God, you finally woke up!" I said with relief as I looked at Xu Jing who had woken up.

"Have I slept for a long time?" Xu Jing said weakly.

"You've been asleep for almost two days! I'm scared to death!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You were hit by a car, but the police are already looking for the driver!"

"Oh!"

"How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I feel uncomfortable all over! I can now empathize with the pain you felt when you were injured! It really hurts!"

"Then I'll call the doctor to take a look." After saying that, I pressed the call bell to call the doctor and nurse to examine Xu Jing, and called her parents to tell them the news that Xu Jing had woken up.

"Jingjing, how are you?" Mother Xu looked at Xu Jing sadly. Xu Jing's daughter, Xu Miao, kept wanting to hug her mother. Xu Jing could only drag her weak body to hold her daughter's hand, forcing a hard smile to comfort Xu Miao.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu are accompanying Xu Jing in the hospital, so I can go home first.

"Xu Jing hasn't woken up yet today?" Li Zhanwen asked as soon as I entered the door.

"She just woke up. Her parents are with her in the hospital. I just came back."

"You two have such a good relationship that I'm a little jealous!" Li Zhanwen complained.

"No, why are you jealous?" I asked with a smile.

"When you were injured and hospitalized, Xu Jing flew back to Hegang from Europe overnight and stayed by your bedside the entire time. I seemed so redundant at the time! But she was obviously the third wheel! I didn't even have a chance to whisper to you at that time!" Li Zhanwen complained angrily.

"Then you can whisper to me now! I can even respond to you!"

"Things are different now!"

"Xu Jing is a friend, and you are a lover. They are different!"

"Remember! I am your lover! Lover! Lover!" Li Zhanwen repeatedly emphasized the word "lover".

"Good good!"

In the evening I took time to visit Xu Jing again.

"You have a nurse and you have children to take care of, so don't come so often!" Xu Jing wanted to drive me away as soon as I entered the door.

"I have something important to discuss with you this time!"

"I don't want to hear about work! I'm on vacation now, please don't disturb me!"

"It's not about work, it's about your car accident! I found some clues!"

"This car accident was not an accident but man-made, and it was intentional!" Xu Jing said what I wanted to say, which surprised me a little.

"How do you know what I want to say!"

"I was hit that day and fell to the ground, but I was still conscious. I heard Zhang Muhe say to the driver, 'Idiot! You hit me too hard! If anyone dies, I won't let you go!' Then I heard the car start and drive away."

"This Zhang Mu is such a bastard. He actually wants to hurt you just to pursue you!"

"Men are all the same! They always think that women are their accessories and that they can get them by using some tricks. But he has hit a wall this time! I will make him pay a heavy price and teach him a lesson!" Xu Jing sneered.

"But there is no concrete evidence, and the driver has not been caught yet."

"Don't worry, there will always be brave men under a huge reward! I will post a missing person notice, and anyone who provides effective clues will receive a reward of 10 million! I don't believe that anyone will not be tempted!"

"Setting such a high reward?"

"Money talks! Someone will definitely be tempted by such a high reward! Human nature cannot stand the test. In the end, the driver who caused the accident will most likely be betrayed by those around him! Even if he was wearing a mask, someone familiar would recognize him at a glance!"

"A question suddenly occurred to me. If Zhang Mu bribed the driver who caused the accident, could the license plate he provided be fake?"

"Of course it's fake. This kind of car must have cloned plates or was stolen, so the license plate doesn't mean much."

"What about waiting for the next step?"

"Yes, just sit back and wait!"

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Mu pushed the door open and walked in.

"We are discussing offering a reward for the driver who caused the accident!" Xu Jing told me the plan directly, which surprised me a little.

"Reward? The police are already investigating this matter! Wanted notices have been issued all over the city. What are you still offering a reward for?" Zhang Mu asked tentatively.

"That car must be a cloned one or a stolen vehicle, so it's difficult to find him using this clue. So why not just offer a reward for any clues? Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!" Xu Jing answered calmly.

"Then how much reward do you plan to offer?" Zhang Mu was a little curious.

"Ten million."

"Ten million! It doesn't need that much!" Zhang Mu said in surprise.

"Is it a lot? If I can find the villain who hurt me, this ten million is worth it! And a high reward will attract more people's attention, and the more useful information we will get, the more likely this villain will not get away with it!" Xu Jing answered very easily.

"But it's not worth spending 10 million to find someone!" Zhang Mu felt a little embarrassed.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not spending your money!"

"Even though you're not spending my money, you're still burning it! What a waste!"

"Don't you like me? If you can give me 10 million, I will consider our relationship!" Xu Jing asked with a dagger in her smile.

"But I don't have that much money!" Zhang Mu was a little embarrassed.

"Then you can help me find this villain! Aren't you a prosecutor? It's time to show me what you're capable of!"

"But I'm not responsible for this kind of case. I'm only responsible for clerical work." Zhang Mu was even more embarrassed.

"If you can't do anything to help me, why should I be with you?" Xu Jing asked deliberately.

"I can give you love!"

"Love? How much is it worth? The economic base determines the superstructure! I have never suffered from hardship since I was a child, so don't even think about dragging me down with you!" Xu Jing was very disdainful.

"Love cannot be measured by money! Although those rich people give you a lot, it is nothing compared to what they have. Although I have little, I can give you everything I have!"

"But you're so incompetent, you can't even come up with 10 million, and you can't catch criminals. I heard you're a marginal figure in your department, and your superiors don't value you at all! You have nothing, what else can you give me?"

"That's all groundless! As long as you agree to marry me, I will work hard to improve myself!" Zhang Mu promised solemnly.

"Empty words!"

"I can swear to you!" Zhang Mu made a swearing gesture.

"No need! Men's words are deceiving! I still have to discuss business with Wei Qing. It's not appropriate for you to be here."

"But you're injured now, so why talk about business? There are other people to handle other things, and I can handle things without you!" Zhang Mu realized that he had said the wrong thing after he said it.

"Yeah, you can still turn around without me, and you won't die if you leave me! Get out of here right now!" Xu Jing's tone was very harsh. Zhang Mu knew he was in the wrong and had no choice but to leave.

I went out to see if Zhang Mu had left, in case he had heard our plan.

"He's really gone!" I closed the door with relief.

"Look at this, this is a low-quality man! He keeps lowering his posture when pursuing you at the beginning, but when there is a chance, he will take off his disguise and reveal his true face!" Xu Jing said contemptuously.

"Then you just gave him hope and made him feel that there was a possibility between you two." I was puzzled.

"How else can we let him down his guard?"

"But if you tell him about our plan, and he turns around and tells the driver to hide, then doesn't that mean our plan is ruined?"

"He'd better go and inform the driver who caused the accident. If he knew he was worth 10 million, he would definitely turn himself in!"

"How could he possibly turn himself in?"

"If he turns himself in, no one will be able to collect the 10 million. If he doesn't go, he will be betrayed by those around him sooner or later. Human nature cannot withstand the test! Especially when faced with such an attractive reward!"

"Makes sense!"

After the reward was issued, the driver actually turned himself in. Not long after, he also identified the mastermind, Zhang Mu, who was immediately taken into police custody for investigation. Without Zhang Mu as a follower, Xu Jing could finally sleep peacefully.
