Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

Just as Li Cui was about to speak, Zhang Qian looked down at her phone.

The murder case in Jiangcheng is under investigation; residents are advised to exercise caution when traveling.

A news pop-up appears.

Zhang Qian said instinctively, "Why would someone kill someone out of nowhere? Mom, you shouldn't go out for a while."

Li Cui looked flustered, her eyes darting around, and she stammered in response to Zhang Qian's words.

"Yes... Mom has been staying at home lately and hasn't gone anywhere."

After saying that, she turned around and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen, her back view appearing somewhat rushed.

A moment later, she came out carrying a bowl of soup with a faint medicinal aroma, carefully handed it to Zhang Qian, and said, trying to appear calm.

"Qianqian, this is a calming soup that Mom just made for you. You've been busy with work lately, so drinking this will help you get some rest."

Zhang Qian took the bowl, the warmth emanating from the porcelain. She looked up at her mother and saw a subtle worry and complexity in Li Cui's eyes.

"Mom, you're not hiding anything from me, are you?"

Li Cui was extremely nervous. She unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, glistening faintly in the dim kitchen light.

Her eyes darted nervously between the kitchen and Zhang Qian, managing to force a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"What...what could I possibly be doing? I'm just taking care of you."

As Li Cui spoke, she gestured for Zhang Qian to drink the calming soup she had prepared.

"You've been working too hard lately. I'll cook for you every day from now on."

Zhang Qian nodded in relief and then drank the herbal soup her mother had prepared for her with a feeling of happiness.

Although it was bitter, Zhang Qian, who hadn't received any care in a long time, still drank it all.

Li Cui then opened the drawer and took out a small white medicine bottle with no label on it.

"Here, eat this, twice a day, one piece each time."

Zhang Qian frowned. "What is this? There's not even a label. We can't just eat this."

Li Cui said anxiously, "These are vitamins that Mom usually takes. Over time, the labels on them have all been worn away."

"You young people, you're only thinking about making money, but you also need to take care of your health."

As she spoke, Li Cui poured a white pill from the medicine bottle and placed it in Zhang Qian's palm.

"My mom has been taking this vitamin for many years, and it's quite effective."

Zhang Qian's eyes welled up with tears. Although Li Cui had changed a lot, it was already a rare treat for her now. So she didn't think much about it, put the pill in her mouth, and swallowed it with a sip of water.

"Is this alright?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile.

Li Cui nodded nervously. "I'll go cook for you. What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Zhang Qian had just woken up and wasn't hungry yet; she just wanted to hold Li Cui's hand and have a good talk with her.

But as soon as she touched Li Cui's hand, Li Cui panicked and immediately shook her off and stood up.

Zhang Qian was stunned, "Mom...you..."

"Mom just came back from outside and hasn't even washed her hands yet. Even if you're not hungry, you need to eat something. Wait here, Mom will make you something right away!"

As she spoke, Li Cui ran into the kitchen in a panic.

Zhang Qian didn't think much of it and picked up her phone to browse the news out of boredom. When she saw that the incident occurred at the same hotel she had visited the day before, her heart skipped a beat.

This is too dangerous!

I never expected that a murder would happen right next to her. Luckily, she had drunk too much and came back early, otherwise, I don't know what might have happened.

However, she blacked out yesterday, and whether or not she reached an agreement with President Gu was all said under the influence of alcohol. This is a good opportunity to check on President Gu and ask about the situation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian took out her phone and made a call to President Gu.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."

Although the notification sound indicates the phone is off, those familiar with the situation know that this means you've been blocked.

Hey!

Zhang Qian sighed. It seemed the deal really hadn't gone through yesterday. If Xu Tian were here, things would have been much better...

Xu Tian is now surrounded by beautiful women and is the president of the Xu Group. He is far more glamorous than she is now.

She always thinks of Xu Tian when she is most helpless. Xu Tian was so good to her in the past, otherwise why would she still miss him after so long?

She was determined to win Xu Tian back!

However, the more she thought about it, the sleepier she became. Her eyes were almost closed, and she was feeling drowsy. Zhang Qian saw Li Cui come out of the kitchen.

After confirming that Zhang Qian was asleep, Li Cui dialed a phone number with trembling hands.

"Yes, she's asleep."

"The murder is none of my business, and I have done what I had to do. The rest is up to you."

Li Cui glanced at Zhang Qian, who was fast asleep on the sofa, and hurriedly said, "But it seems like she's forgotten everything!"

"That has nothing to do with me!"

The call was disconnected.

At home, Zhao Lei deleted his call with Li Cui with a heart full of fear. What a crazy woman!

He never imagined that Zhang Qian would commit murder. Now that the matter has caused such a stir, he absolutely cannot be involved with it.

When Zhang Qian woke up again, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Li Cui's worried face.

"I...I fell asleep again?"

Zhang Qian asked, her eyes still half-closed with sleep.

Li Cui smiled and nodded, "Maybe you were too tired yesterday. Did you really not know what to do yesterday?"

Zhang Qian shook her head innocently, "I drank too much yesterday, I can't remember anything at all, I blacked out."

Li Cui gave her a meaningful look, "Then get up and eat first."

Zhang Qian got up and sat on the table. After eating something, she felt like she had come back to life, but along with that came aches and pains all over her body.

It hurts all over, like I've been in a fight. Even the slightest movement makes my whole body ache.

Li Cui wanted to ask something more, but then she heard a knock on the door.

The two exchanged a glance. Since Zhang Qian lost power, no one had come to their door. Who could be coming today?

"Who?"

The two spoke in unison.

Bang bang bang!

The knocking continued, and Zhang Qian got up impatiently to open the door.

Li Cui was the first to stand up, looking flustered, and said, "I...I'll go."

Zhang Qian then sat down in a chair and waited for Li Cui to open the door.

"Hello, police officer."

After the door opened, two men in police uniforms showed their identification.

Li Cui visibly panicked. "Ah... the police? What do you want with us?"

One of the police officers said, "Regarding the murder case that happened yesterday, we have retrieved the list of all the people who were at the scene at the time, so we would like to ask about the details."

“No, I didn’t go there. I stayed home all day yesterday,” Li Cui said.

Seeing her evasive eyes, the police officer became suspicious and asked again, "Zhang Qian should live here, right?"

Li Cui turned to look at Zhang Qian and said guiltily, "Yes, yes, but my daughter drank too much yesterday and doesn't remember what happened yesterday."

Whether you remember or not is not up to you.

As they spoke, two policemen forced their way into the house.

Zhang Qian said with a serious expression, "Just ask me if you have any questions. My mom has never been to a place like this before, so she might be a little nervous."

The police nodded and then asked Zhang Qian to sit on the sofa to cooperate with their investigation.

Did you see any suspicious people when you left the hotel yesterday?
