Yan Beian arrived at the window for hospital admission procedures and obtained a bed number in Fang Xun's name. During the process, Brother Xie stood by and watched, his face complicated and dark.

Yan Bei'an ignored him and asked the toll collector, "How much do I need to pay?"

Cashier: "So far, the surgery has cost about 20,000 yuan. You'll need to stay in the hospital for at least half a month. Please pay up to 50,000 yuan first."

"Within 50,000?" Yan Bei'an noticed Xie Ge's unease out of the corner of his eye and deliberately asked, "Is it necessary to pay 200,000 first?"

The cashier seemed surprised, glanced at him, and said, "If you have enough money prepared, that's fine too. The hospital doesn't limit the amount you can prepay. Anyway, they'll refund any overpayment or charge any underpayment when you're discharged."

Yan Bei'an then asked, "If I prepay 20 yuan, is it possible that someone will withdraw the money before I am discharged from the hospital?"

The toll collector glanced at him again, this time also glancing thoughtfully at Brother Xie beside him.

Brother Xie said rudely, "Why are you looking at me? He asked you, not me!" and turned to leave.

The cashier looked back at Yan Beian and replied, "You can't take it. The hospital system isn't an ATM."

Yan Beian twitched his lips, took out his phone and started making the payment: "I'll prepay 50,000."

After paying the fee, he took the receipt and walked towards the inpatient department. As he passed a quiet corner, he slipped aside to take out his phone and make a call.

A moment later, the call was answered. He glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "Ah Qu, can you help me find out which police station the perpetrator of the car accident that happened two hours ago near Anyang Residential Area on XX Road was taken to..."

A-Qu on the other end of the phone: "Why are you asking about this car accident too?"

Yan Bei'an was slightly taken aback: "Are there other people asking this too?"

Aqu paused for a moment and said, "I wasn't supposed to say, but since the other party has some connection with you, I'll just let you know. The person who came to ask was someone from your uncle's family. What is the relationship between your family and the injured person in the car accident?"

Yan Bei'an was taken aback: "My uncle?"

Why is my uncle asking about Fang Xun too?

Moreover, how did he know that Fang Xun had been in a car accident?

Aqu: "Yes, the person who came was a young man wearing glasses, surnamed Xu. He's your uncle's assistant. When did your uncle return to China?"

“It’s been almost a month,” Yan Bei’an asked again, “Has Assistant Xu said anything about why my uncle asked about this car accident?”

Aqu: "He didn't say that. He only said that the person who wanted to know about this matter passed it down directly through connections at higher levels. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to ask me, the captain."

Yan Bei'an's mind was in a mess, but he couldn't figure out the connection between his uncle and Fang Xun for the time being.

My uncle probably only saw Fang Xun once, that night when he had a late-night snack. Why is he suddenly interested in Fang Xun's affairs?

Oh wait, there was also that time a few days ago at the Western restaurant with Liang Liangwei. They met there too, but it probably wasn't a pleasant meeting.

Yan Bei'an was completely baffled.

Aqu: "Who exactly is the injured person from your Yan family?"

Yan Bei'an snapped out of his daze and said, "He's a friend of mine."

Aqu: "Is he also your uncle's friend?"

My uncle's friend? I wouldn't say so.

Yan Bei'an: "No, what exactly happened in the car accident?"

A-Qu: "Actually, the traffic police were also a bit confused about this car accident. When they received a report that someone had been hit by a car at the intersection, the traffic police rushed over immediately. When they arrived at the scene, they found out that the driver had already taken the injured person to the hospital. There were only bloodstains and tire skid marks at the scene."

Yan Bei'an asked in surprise, "Did the driver who caused the accident take the injured person to the hospital?"

Didn't Brother Xie say that the driver who caused the accident was taken away by the police?

Aqu: "This is what the eyewitnesses said: When the injured person was crossing the pedestrian crossing, a car turned right and hit him to the ground. After the driver got out of the car to check, he picked him up and took him away, saying he was going to take him to the hospital."

Yan Bei'an frowned: "Have you checked the surveillance footage?"

Aqu: "Of course, the surveillance footage is pretty much what the witnesses said. The traffic police have cordoned off the scene and are checking the hospital records. There are several hospitals nearby, but they haven't found any yet..."

Yan Beian was very surprised. He had felt something was wrong earlier. The hospital was at least 40 or 50 minutes away from Anyang Community by car. Fang Xun was so badly injured that he should have been sent to the nearest hospital. Why did Brother Xie choose a hospital that was far away?

Furthermore, Ah Qu said the surveillance footage showed the driver bringing Fang Xun to the hospital, but Brother Xie claimed it was him who brought Fang Xun there…

Could it be that Brother Xie was the driver who hit Fang Xun?

His brow twitched suddenly.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Aqu said, "How about I tell you when your friend has some news?"

Yan Beian said in a deep voice, "Tell those traffic police to come to Hua'an Hospital immediately. The injured are here, and the perpetrator should also be here."

Aqu exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Yan Bei'an: "Why would I lie to you? Send me the surveillance video to confirm."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Beian waited a while and soon received a video image sent by A Qu. Although it was only a few seconds long and had been edited, he quickly confirmed that the person who was hit at the intersection and the driver who got out of the car were Fang Xun and Brother Xie.

The blond man who got out of the car with Brother Xie was the one who had been waiting outside the emergency room.

He waited for more than 20 minutes, then met up with two traffic police officers who had arrived, and they led the person towards the inpatient department.

When they arrived at the ward, they thought Xie Ge and the other person would be inside, but when they went in, they only saw Fang Xun still sleeping on the bed, and there was no one else in sight.

"Where is he?" the traffic police officer asked, puzzled.

Yan Beian was also bewildered: "I was still downstairs when I was completing the formalities half an hour ago."

Just then, a nurse happened to pass by, and he turned around and stopped her: "Excuse me, where did the two people in this ward go?"

Nurse: I don't know, I just saw it.

Yan Bei'an: "When was that?"

The nurse said, "About ten minutes ago." Then she left.

Yan Bei'an frowned. He must have realized he couldn't get any money from him and left to avoid trouble.

Traffic Police Officer A: "We can only check the hospital's surveillance footage. If we can confirm that the two people in the footage are the same two people, we can proceed with the next steps."

One traffic policeman went to check the surveillance footage, while the other stayed behind. Yan Beian helped him learn about Fang Xun's personal information.

"Fang Xun, 20 years old, a sophomore at A University, from Tianjin, from a single-parent family, lives alone in an apartment in Anyang. I'm his friend. I received a call from his phone during dinner. It was the call from the person who caused the accident, telling me he'd been in a car accident and asking me to come over..."

Traffic Police Officer B: "You said the person who caused the accident knows him. What is their relationship?"

Yan Bei'an: "I don't know, I don't know those two people."

Traffic officer B quickly took a statement. Yan Bei paused for a moment and asked, "Those two people, did they deliberately cause the accident? If they're caught, shouldn't they be sentenced?"

Traffic officer B looked up at him, his gaze sharp: "How did you know?"

Yan Bei'an looked back at him and said, "I got the surveillance footage. Before Fang Xun crossed the intersection, the car was parked on the side of the road. When he stepped onto the pedestrian crossing, the car suddenly started and drove towards him. Isn't that suspicious?"
