Wen Shengsheng opened her eyes in a daze and stared at the ceiling above.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

His body remained completely still.

"Sheng Sheng? You're awake?"

Song Jing lay down beside the hospital bed, carefully observing her.

Wen Shengsheng blinked and turned her head.

She opened her mouth, and after a long while, she managed to utter a single sentence in a hoarse voice.

"cousin."

"Oh, you're finally awake! I was so worried!"

Upon hearing her voice, Song Jing was incredibly excited. She turned and ran out, as if she were looking for someone.

Wen Shengsheng turned her eyes and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.

This place resembles a hospital ward, but it's not a hospital-style one; it's more basic than a hospital.

The disinfectant smelled strong, and there were many medical supplies on display.

She propped herself up on her arms, trying to sit up.

The moment I moved, a sharp pain shot through my entire left arm, and half of my head ached terribly, as if some nerve was being pulled.

Wen Shengsheng collapsed back down, exhausted.

"Dr. Lin, Sheng Sheng just woke up. Could you check on her and see how she is?"

As Song Jing's voice rang out, a young doctor walked in.

Lin Yue took out the equipment and performed some basic examinations on Wen Shengsheng, and also looked at the injuries on her left arm and left forehead.

"The recovery is going well. With proper care, the injury on your forehead will heal faster. Your left arm is bone-injured, and it will probably take one or two months to fully recover."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng asked, "Where is this? How long have I been unconscious?"

Song Jing said, "This is a shopping mall. You've been unconscious for over a week."

"A week!? What about my brother-in-law and Deng Wei?" Wen Shengsheng was shocked.

"Don't worry, they're fine. You were sitting closest to the car when it happened, so you were the most seriously injured. Your brother-in-law managed to contact Dr. Lin and had you brought over overnight."

Song Jing said with lingering fear, "Luckily, the Hummer we were in had been specially reinforced and modified by Huo Ling, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

After listening to Song Jing's words and observing the clinic, Wen Shengsheng roughly understood what was going on.

"Where did my brother-in-law and Deng Wei go?"

"Forehead..."

Seeing that Song Jing seemed hesitant to speak, Lin Yue cooperated and left the ward to let the two talk.

After Lin Yue left, Song Jing closed the door to the ward.

"You were already unconscious at that time. Huo Ling and Deng Wei came up with a solution and pushed the Hummer into the sea below the cliff."

"They are both in Wuxian now. This is the company's territory, so it's relatively safe. You can focus on recovering."

"Huo Ling said that it's obvious someone is targeting us. We should hide first and find out who's behind it."

Wen Shengsheng listened quietly, her face expressionless, frighteningly calm.

"Do my brother-in-law and Deng Wei suspect Xi Maokun and want to find clues from my parents' car accident back then?"

“Yes.” Song Jing was slightly taken aback. “Sheng Sheng, how did you guess it was Xi Maokun?”

“I’m not guessing, I’m certain that he was responsible for everything, including the deaths of Song Yufeng and my parents.”

"What!?"

Song Jing jumped up, her eyes wide open.

Compared to Song Jing's fear and panic, Wen Shengsheng was completely calm. She lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, her starry eyes dark and deep, making her unfathomable.

Song Jing felt a little scared.

"Sheng Sheng, have you thought of something? How do you know all this?"

Wen Shengsheng did not answer the question.

Instead, she asked, "When are my brother-in-law and Deng Wei coming back?"

Song Jing: "...I reckon it'll be soon; they've been gone for several days already."

As she spoke, Song Jing took Wen Shengsheng's phone.

"Deng Wei has fixed your phone. Do you want to contact Young Master Gong?"

Wen Shengsheng glanced at her phone. Her right hand was still functional, but she didn't answer it.

"no need."

After thinking for a while, Wen Shengsheng added another instruction.

"When my brother-in-law and Deng Wei get back, tell them to come find me as soon as possible. I have something to tell them."

Then, she turned her head to the other side and quietly looked out the window, exuding a coldness and deathly stillness.

Song Jing's hand holding the phone trembled.

An indescribable chill slowly seeped into my heart.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

She always felt that Wen Shengsheng was quite strange after waking up; she was freezing cold.

There was no sun today; the sky outside the window was gray and gloomy, the trees along the road were bare, and there wasn't even a bird in sight.

Two yellow leaves on a dry branch struggled to flap twice in the cold wind, then detached from the branch and flew to some unknown place in the distance.

Wen Shengsheng watched quietly, ignoring Song Jing.

She knew Song Jing was curious, but she could only remain silent.

because.

She couldn't explain why.

That night, when their Hummer was hit by a large truck, she recognized the truck and the driver.

She absolutely cannot be mistaken.

In her previous life, it was this car and this driver who personally sent her to the underworld.

The only difference is that the location of the car accident has changed.

During the days she was in a coma, she remembered many things, many details.

“Xi Maokun wanted to kill Wen Shengsheng more than anyone else. If it weren’t for Xi Yu protecting and spoiling her like a precious gem every day, and even using his own marriage and life to negotiate with his father, Wen Shengsheng would have been dead long ago.”

Only now does Wen Shengsheng fully understand the meaning behind Xi Jianguo's words.

I understand now even more clearly Xi Yu's contradictory and chaotic behavior...

It turns out that she had been trapped in a deadly situation for a long time...

......

Huo Ling and Deng Wei returned two days later.

They came directly to the clinic to see Wen Shengsheng.

"Sheng Sheng, Young Master Gong's men have found the mall. Do you want to see him?"

This was Huo Ling's first sentence after he came in.

Wen Shengsheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't reply.

She countered with, "How's your investigation going in Wu County?"

Huo Ling was somewhat surprised and looked at Song Jing.

Song Jing shook her head at him.

She had asked him several times in the past two days, but Wen Shengsheng remained silent whenever the topic of Gong Xiaochen came up.

It was as if he wasn't her boyfriend, but a complete stranger.

Seeing this, Deng Wei took out a stack of documents.

He said, "The police officer who handled your parents' case back then was named Li Min. We talked to him to understand the situation and also got the video footage from that section of the highway. Do you want to see it?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng finally reacted.

She took out her phone. "Send it to me, I want to see it."

"No, let Deng Wei describe it, how can you look at it?" Song Jing knew her problem and quickly stopped her.

"We have to face this eventually, Deng Wei. Send it to my phone, I need to see it."

Deng Wei remained calm and slowly replied with a single word, "Okay."

Didi...

Upon hearing the WeChat notification, Wen Shengsheng's temples began to throb even before she opened the chat window.

A mild headache came in waves, starting from my temples.

Wen Shengsheng took a deep breath.

The video has been opened.

Although the video was from ten years ago and the resolution was a bit blurry, Wen Shengsheng still recognized her family's car at a glance.

My temples throbbed violently, followed by a gradually intensifying headache.

Wen Shengsheng's eyes stung with tears.

It was on a highway, and the black Mercedes was driving on the far left, with a large truck driving in the lane to its right.

The truck was positioned slightly ahead, and the Mercedes was positioned slightly behind; they were not driving side by side, but were proceeding peacefully.

But no one expected it.

next moment.

The white car in front of the truck suddenly braked.

Normally, in this situation, a large truck can simply brake lightly to slow down.

But it didn't.

The truck driver swerved sharply to the left to change lanes.

A 10-ton truck instantly crushed the black Mercedes into pieces, including the people inside!

woohoo...

It felt as if a strong wind was whistling past my ears.

Wen Shengsheng gripped her phone tightly, tears streaming down her face, each drop landing on the screen.

The intense headache seemed to vanish in that instant.

The entire video, only 14 seconds long, easily took away the two most important people in her life, turning her into an orphan.

"Sheng Sheng, are you alright?" Song Jing wiped away her tears and gently comforted her.

Wen Shengsheng pressed her forehead. "It's okay. Now I finally know what happened."

Deng Wei continued, "The local police ultimately concluded that the truck driver caused the death of another person due to improper operation while driving, and was sentenced to two years and three months..."

According to current law, this judgment is not problematic.

but.

Two years and three months...

"hehe."

Wen Shengsheng chuckled lightly, her laughter sharp and short.

How ridiculous that the other party could so easily ruin her life with such a small price to pay!

She instantly stopped crying and gritted her teeth.

I need to find this driver!
