Chapter 675: Suicide
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
âWhat did you say?!â Mei Shu handed the agreement to the law firm for safekeeping, then hung up the phone, and drove hurriedly to the hospital.
She had considered countless possibilities.
For example, Zhou Lin might have found out that she had come to meet Ruan Li alone today and might not trust Ruan Li, using some means to silence her completely.
Or perhaps the person who had been hiding in the background all along had secretly intervened, preventing her from achieving her goal.
But she never thought that Ruan Li would commit suicide, using it as a means to take away all the truths from back then.
It seemed that Ruan Li had guessed that she had only investigated up to this point, fearing that saying too little wouldnât gain her trust.
Ruan Li had never intended to reveal the secret from the start.
This was also the fundamental reason why Zhou Lin was willing to let Ruan Li continue living in Wendith and willingly support her!
She cursed herself for only realizing these tricks now!
Mei Shu slammed the steering wheel fiercely, and the car emitted a piercing honk.
The man in the car in front of her stuck his head out of the window with a look of annoyance, glaring at Mei Shuâs car with a fierce expression. He said, âWhat are you honking for? Damn it, didnât you see the red light? If you have the guts, just run the red light! Damn it, todayâs just bad luck, unexpectedly encountering a woman driving. Women should stay home obediently. Can you women even drive properly?â
He had just finished complaining and was about to retract his head when, the next moment, the car shook violently, and his head happened to hit the window, causing him to grimace in pain, followed by a loud crash from behind the car.
The man stared dumbfoundedly at the shattered rear of his car, rubbing his head in pain, then got out of the car angrily, âDamn it, are you crazy?â
Mei Shu looked at him expressionlessly, âGood dogs donât block the way.â
With that said, she pressed the accelerator again, ramming off the car in front and ignoring the red light, driving away directly, leaving the man behind choking on the exhaust fumes.
lie coughed violently, took out his phone intending to call the police, and even thought about taking advantage of the situation to record a video and post it online, letting everyone see the true face of a female driver.
However, just as he was about to dial the police number, a fair hand suddenly covered his screen.
lie raised his head to meet a pair of deep black eyes, his arrogant demeanor somewhat subdued, âWho are you? 1 warn you, donât interfere with my business! I need to call the police immediately!â
Wearing gold-framed glasses, the seemingly gentle secretary smiled and removed his hand, handing him a bank card, âIf you agree to settle it privately, the money in here is yours. Call a tow truck to repair your car or buy a new one. Forget about what just happened.â
The man pinched the bank card in his hand, his neck stiff, âHow do I know if youâre trying to trick me? Is there even any money in this card?â
The secretary turned slightly, revealing another well-dressed man in the car behind him, and said slowly, âNow do you believe me?â
âYes, yes, I believe you! Thank you, Mr. Zhou! Iâll leave now!â With that, the man quickly pocketed the bank card, got back into his car, started the car, and then left directly, without even a secondâs delay.
The secretary returned to the passenger seat, looking at the man in the back seat, âMr. Zhou, should we still go to the hospital now? Miss Mei Shu should have arrived.â
Zhou Linâs fingertips on the armrest moved slightly, a cunning smile curling up at the corner of his mouth, âNo need to go. Ruan Li hasnât betrayed me. Letâs go back.â
âUnderstood.â The secretary immediately instructed the driver to change the route, heading in the completely opposite direction of Mei Shuâs car.
In the hospital.
Mei Shu rushed to the operating room, and Jiang Hai stood guiltily against the wall.
âHow is she? Any news?â Mei Shu asked anxiously without delay.
Jiang Hai stood up straight, shook his head, âNo news yet.â
âWhat exactly happened?â Mei Shu calmed down and asked carefully, âAre you sure she committed suicide and that no one murdered her?â
Jiang Haiâs voice was hoarse, âIâm sure. Ms. Ruan said she wanted to go to the bathroom, and 1 couldnât follow her in. When 1 realized something was wrong after ten minutes and went in to check, 1 saw her lying in a pool of blood.â
Mei Shu let out a sigh of relief, rested her head on her hand, and sat down in the chair, her face full of exhaustion, âThis isnât your fault. Itâs because I didnât consider it carefully. I should have had a female accompany you to watch over her.â
Jiang Hai still couldnât hide his self-blame. He clenched his fists and suddenly lowered his head, âIâm sorry. Iâve messed up things between you and Master Si. If Ms. Ruan really canât wake up again, I will apologize with my life and wonât continue to cause trouble for you and Master Si!â
âEnough!â Mei Shu interrupted him, her eyebrows showing a hint of anger, âI said this isnât your fault. Itâs because I didnât think through the interests involved. Ruan Li had planned to do this from the beginning. She never wanted the Mei Group. She just wanted to distract me first and then end it all.â
âWhat should we do next?â Jiang Hai hesitated and raised his head, âMiss Mei Shu, do we really need to continue investigating?â
