After Bai Ze finished dealing with everything, he waited by the roadside for about ten minutes before the police arrived. When the police arrived, they were stunned for a moment when they saw the car that had been hit beyond recognition, the angry old man, and the two unconscious middle-aged men. Then they walked up to Bai Ze and asked, "Did you call the police?"

"Yes." Bai Ze nodded, then pointed indignantly at the unconscious thug next to the truck and said, "Officer, I want to accuse him of attempted murder!"

Policeman: "...!!!" He was actually called "uncle" by someone old enough to be his father! That's quite a bizarre and exciting feeling.

"Tell me the details of the situation." The police officer directed his men to investigate and collect evidence while taking notes in a notebook.

Bai Ze delivered the speech he had already prepared, but his words were nine parts truth and one part falsehood, making it difficult for anyone to see anything amiss.

The police officer was only halfway through taking notes when he ran out of things to say. "Are you sure he hit you with his car?" Something felt off. Both drivers were unconscious, and Bai Ze's nephew, who was with him, was also reportedly unconscious (legally, Su Bai was Bai Ze's nephew because Bai Ze was Hua Gengchen's elder in the Hua family). Only Bai Ze, an old man in his seventies or eighties, was unharmed. Something felt off.

"Of course!" Bai Ze nodded affirmatively. "We were driving along the road when this person drove like a madman and rammed straight into us. If my nephew and I hadn't been lucky, we don't know if we would still be alive today."

"With such a wide road and the speed he was driving, no one would believe he wasn't coming for us!" Bai Ze said angrily. "Officer, the marks on the car and the road are still there! You can check it out."

"We will investigate this thoroughly!" The police officer continued writing the unfinished record. Just as he put down his pen, the team member inspecting the vehicle came over to report, "Captain, the truck's brakes have failed. It looks like they weren't replaced in time."

Upon hearing this, the police officer had a guess in mind. "Old man, maybe you're overthinking it. The truck driver didn't do it on purpose."

"I didn't think too much!" Bai Ze said, "He just wants to kill us!"

"Uh..." The police officers looked at each other, and finally the captain spoke up, "Sir, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. Whether it was intentional homicide can only be determined after the investigation."

"Okay, I'll wait!" Bai Ze was easy to talk to because Hua Gengchen had already given the thugs a hint that the truth would soon be revealed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the taxi driver groggily woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a police car with flashing lights and police officers checking his taxi. The taxi driver was jolted awake.

"What happened? How did my car get like this?" The taxi driver rushed to his car in a panic, looking distressed.

This was his old companion of over twenty years, which he cherished dearly. How could it have turned out like this after he woke up?!

The police quickly stopped the taxi driver; the investigation inside the car wasn't over yet, and he couldn't approach him!

The taxi driver looked sadly at his car, then suddenly looked up angrily and demanded, "Officer, what exactly happened?"

The police officer pointed to the large truck, then to Bai Ze. "According to this old gentleman, the truck driver wanted to kill him and his nephew, so he crashed into the taxi. You were driving at the time; do you remember the specifics of what happened?"

"Huh??" The taxi driver was initially confused. He looked around, still confused, and recalled, "I just remember driving on the road. Because I'm not very familiar with this road, I drove very slowly the whole way. And then... and then I don't remember anything clearly. I woke up like this."

Police officer: "...!!!" How could this be?

"Please try to recall what happened again. My colleague will take your statement." The police officer felt that this matter was really a bit strange. How could a driver who was driving carefully not remember?

"...Okay, okay." The taxi driver was still a little dazed. He glanced sadly at his car and followed another policeman to the side to give his statement.

Bai Ze stood there the whole time, without moving an inch.

"Go check if the truck driver is awake yet?" We've already asked two of the parties involved; the only one left to ask is the truck driver who has been accused of being the murderer.

"Ok."

The policeman walked up to the truck driver and gently nudged him. "Sir? Sir?"

The truck driver frowned slightly, as if he had been woken from a good dream. He reluctantly opened his eyes, and after focusing his gaze and seeing the person in front of him, he suddenly yelled, "Someone gave me two million to find a car with faulty brakes to run over Su Bai and kill him. I was just doing this for money. I wasn't the mastermind!"

The police officers present were stunned. They had encountered so many criminals, but this was the first time they had ever met a criminal who surrendered as soon as he opened his eyes!

Is this how you confess?

This caught them all off guard!

Bai Ze reacted quickly, admitting directly, "Su Bai is my nephew!"

In a flash, all the police officers' eyes were on the truck driver, including the police captain. "Who gave you the money?" They thought it was just a simple car accident, but the old man was right!

The truck driver looked terrified. He didn't want to say those things, but somehow, they just slipped out. And after the police questioned the mastermind, his mouth once again betrayed him, revealing the truth: "It's Su Mo, the fourth young lady of the Su family. I even have a recording of my conversation with her." With that, the truck driver took the recorder out of his pocket and handed it to the police.

Bai Ze's anger intensified after hearing that it was the Su family who had hired someone to commit the murder.

He had known for a long time that Su Bai was not valued in the Su family, but he did not expect him to be valued to this extent!

After handing over the items, the truck driver was like a puppet without its strings, looking utterly hopeless. How could he possibly tell the truth?

After the police retrieved the recording pen, they carefully put it away, then handcuffed the truck driver and took him away.

Fortunately, the rain stopped in time, and most of the evidence was still there, so the evidence collection went much more smoothly than expected. After all the evidence had been investigated and collected, the police said to Bai Ze, "Sir, according to the rules, we still need to ask your nephew, Mr. Su Bai, about what happened. Would it be convenient for you to take us there?"

"Convenient, very convenient!" Bai Ze readily agreed. Anyway, Su Bai was drugged from the start and had no idea what happened afterward. The police wouldn't be able to get any information out of her anyway. "But my car was driven away. Can I hitch a ride?"

"Of course!" Even if Bai Ze didn't say it, the police would still take him with them. Otherwise, if Bai Ze walked in front, would they just follow behind in their car? How long would it take to finish that?

We live in an era that values ​​efficiency; being even a step behind is unacceptable.

The police officers nodded, and Bai Ze opened the back seat of the nearest police car and sat down nimbly, leaving the officers somewhat dumbfounded.

To be honest, they had never seen an old man so agile.

"Let's go to the western suburbs." Bai Ze told them their destination after getting into the car. The police officers then got in, closed the doors, fastened their seatbelts, and started the car.

About half an hour later, the police car stopped at the gate of the Hua family's house.

"This is...the Hua family?" The police captain looked out the car window from inside, his voice even softer than before.

Bai Ze nodded, "Okay!" He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and beckoned the police officers to get out as well, "Please come in! You don't have to be so reserved once you're home."

Everyone swallowed hard. With everything they had seen from the foot of the mountain to the top, it was hard for them not to feel awkward!

"Oh, right!" Bai Ze, who was leading the way, suddenly remembered something and turned back to the police officers, saying, "I didn't explain it very clearly just now. Su Bai is not only my nephew, but also the wife of the current head of the Hua family, that is, the matriarch of the Hua family."

"What?!" Everyone except the police captain gaped in shock.

That's the matriarch of the Hua family!

Bai Ze smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was only thinking of the Hua family!"

The police captain glanced at his team members, and only after they had recovered their shocked expressions did he say to Bai Ze, "I understand!" No wonder the old man was so certain that the truck driver was after them; it turns out Su Bai's identity is that important!

"This way!" Bai Ze didn't care at all about the shock his depth charges had caused the police; he was just stating the facts.

After bringing the person into the Hua family, Bai Ze first sent someone to inform Hua Gengchen. A short while later, Hua Gengchen came down carrying Su Bai.

Everyone watched as Hua Gengchen carefully held Su Bai in his arms like a fragile doll, not letting go even while sitting. Su Bai struggled uncomfortably for a moment, but Hua Gengchen held her even tighter. Then Su Bai stopped struggling, her ears turning an alluring red.

"Ask whatever you want!" Hua Gengchen said indifferently, not very satisfied with the police's speed. Su Bai was about to fall asleep when they suddenly showed up. Why didn't they come sooner?

"Ahem." The police captain coughed awkwardly before speaking seriously, "Mr. Su Bai, do you remember what happened?"

Su Bai nodded gently and said slowly, "I only remember what happened before I lost consciousness, but I don't remember what happened after I lost consciousness!" She paused slightly, then continued, "I remember that after we left the city, I realized that the driver seemed to have taken the wrong road, so I told him to turn around and follow the navigation. But suddenly, I don't know what happened, everything went black and I passed out. When I woke up, my husband told me that someone wanted to kill me! Officer, can I know who wanted to kill me?"

He believed that he had not made any enemies yet, so who would want to kill him?

Is it Su Yangxia? Su Chengjun or Li Chengtian?

"According to the truck driver, he was hired by someone, and the person who hired him was Su Mo," the police said. "However, this matter has not been investigated clearly yet; this is only the truck driver's side of the story."

"Su Mo?" Su Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked incredulously, "Is it the Su Mo I know?"

The police officer hesitated before replying, "...probably." The other person named Su Mo shouldn't have any connection to Su Bai, so naturally they wouldn't be enemies.

"Is it Su Mo, the fourth young lady of the Su family?" Su Bai still couldn't believe it. Did Su Mo have such a deep hatred for him?

She was the one who attacked him first; he only asked for some compensation. Why would Su Mo hate him so much that she hired someone to kill him?

This time, the police didn't hesitate much: "It is indeed Su Mo, the fourth young lady of the Su family. The murderer himself admitted to this."
