Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Investigation

Half an hour later, Ling Feng and two others arrived at Yanjing First Hospital. Yun Hanrui, regardless of her own injuries, rushed to the emergency room and asked, "Doctor, how is the accident victim doing now?"

A doctor replied, "Are you a friend of the victim? Your friend is in a very critical condition and is currently in emergency treatment. I’m not entirely sure of the specifics right now. But don’t worry, there happened to be a fire truck passing by when the accident occurred, so the victim was brought to the hospital quite promptly."

"How could this happen!" Yun Hanrui said, somewhat dazed. "She had just called me earlier, how could she have been in an accident?"

Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu also arrived and saw Yun Hanrui looking a bit lost. Ling Feng gently patted Yun Hanrui on the shoulder and said, "Don’t panic, the hospital’s technology is very advanced, Sun Xiaofei won’t be in danger. What we need to do now is to report this to the police so they can catch the driver responsible."

Yun Hanrui seemed to awaken and exclaimed, "Exactly, I must catch him!"

At that moment, the police also arrived.

After some investigation, Ling Feng and his group learned that the truck that collided with Sun Xiaofei’s car was because the driver was fatigued and had overloaded the truck, not realizing it until it was too late.

"Can we see the driver at fault?" Ling Feng asked gravely.

The police officer hesitated and then said, "Yes, the driver at fault has already been detained."

"Xiao Rui, you and Ting Yu stay here, I’ll go check out what’s going on!" Ling Feng said.

Fire flashed in Yun Hanrui’s eyes, fatigued driving plus overloading and speeding – this was clearly murder!

"Go ahead, Ling Feng, we’re here!" Liu Tingyu, noticing the poor color in Yun Hanrui’s face, said to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng followed the police to the station and met the driver responsible for the accident.

This driver, in his forties, dressed like an ordinary person and with his face covered in deep wrinkles, was squatting in a corner trembling, as if he had been greatly shocked.

He was also constantly muttering, "I’m sorry, I truly am sorry, it wasn’t intentional, I’m sorry..."

If it weren’t for Ling Feng’s exceptional hearing, he wouldn’t have been able to hear his murmuring at all.

"Ever since we brought him in, he’s been like this!" the police officer that had brought Ling Feng to the station said. "We’ve tried to interrogate him, but to little effect, although from the scene, it was clear that the truck was seriously overloaded and speeding."

"What was the truck carrying?" Ling Feng asked casually.

"Coal, it was supposed to be delivered to the surrounding suburbs."

"Oh?" Ling Feng frowned slightly and addressed the driver, "Can I have a few words with the driver at fault?"

The police officer hesitated. Normally, he wouldn’t allow the family or friends of the victim to contact the suspect, but seeing how incredibly calm Ling Feng appeared, greatly different from the hysteria of other victims’ families, he said.

"I can make an exception, but I can’t let you be alone with him," the officer said.

Ling Feng nodded, "Thank you!"

Approaching the interrogation room, Ling Feng came face to face with the driver at fault, who was holding his head as if he hadn’t noticed Ling Feng’s arrival.

"Are you the driver who injured my friend?" Ling Feng asked coldly.

The driver’s body trembled, then he lowered his head, saying nothing.

"Don’t you want to say anything?" Ling Feng pressed, "Why did you murder her?"

"I didn’t!" The middle-aged man raised his head, his eyes shimmering with complexity, "It’s all my fault, all my fault! I wanted to do more work at night, it’s all on me! Officer, I’ll confess everything, I’m sorry for that child!"

Ling Feng stared intently into the middle-aged man’s eyes and saw guilt, anxiety, unease, and fear!

"Sir, we need to continue interrogating him now, please..." the police officer said.

Ling Feng nodded, "I understand, I’ll leave right away!"

After leaving the police station, Ling Feng let out a gentle sigh.

"Something is not right, this driver is suspicious!" Ling Feng fell into thought; although after a close observation, the middle-aged man showed all the typical characteristics of a transport worker, Ling Feng still felt uneasy!

If this were truly an accident, then why, aside from the complex expressions, was there a trace of relief and relaxation in the driver’s eyes?

Ling Feng’s eyes were sharp. Although the middle-aged man hid it well, he had noticed.

After a moment, Ling Feng took out his phone, "Meizi, I need your help with something right now!"

...

By the time Ling Feng returned to the hospital, it was already past eleven. Yun Hanrui sat blankly on the bench outside the emergency room, staring into space.

Liu Tingyu looked at Yun Hanrui with a complex expression. Although Sun Xiaofei had been in an accident, Liu Tingyu was not very close to her. After the initial shock and regret, she had quickly recovered.

"How is everything now?" Ling Feng asked.

"It’s still unclear inside, but..." Liu Tingyu pursed her lips, "Sister Yun is not doing well. She’s been having a lot of disturbing thoughts earlier. If it weren’t for my constant comforting, she might have broken down too!"

As she spoke, Liu Tingyu pushed Ling Feng a little, "Go on, Sister Yun might need your comforting embrace the most right now!"

Ling Feng looked at Liu Tingyu. Liu Tingyu smiled, "Go ahead, this is when Sister Yun is most vulnerable. I’m not that petty!"

Ling Feng sighed, sat down beside Yun Hanrui, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "Xiao Rui, don’t worry, the lucky have their own luck, and you have to trust the hospital’s medical skills!"

"Ling Feng..." Yun Hanrui lifted her head, her face pale and somewhat frightening, "I’m so scared, I’m really scared! What if Xiaofei doesn’t make it? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have let her come. If she hadn’t come, she wouldn’t have encountered this incident halfway!"

Ling Feng held Yun Hanrui tightly, "We couldn’t have foreseen this; how could you blame yourself?"

"Five years ago, Little Xun passed away in this hospital!" Yun Hanrui trembled ceaselessly, "I’m so afraid, Ling Feng, if Xiaofei also passes away, I really won’t know what to do!"

"Don’t worry, Xiaofei will be fine!" Ling Feng patted Yun Hanrui’s shoulder and whispered into her ear with his magnetic voice.

Under Ling Feng’s voice, Yun Hanrui’s eyelids grew heavier, and then her head slumped onto Ling Feng’s shoulder.

Since Yun Hanrui was extremely panicky, Ling Feng simply hypnotized her to prevent her from becoming completely distraught.

At that moment, a man appeared at the hospital, approached Ling Feng, and handed him a file folder, "Mr. Ling, I am Zhou Kai from the Shadow Group. This is something the Lady asked me to give you!"

Ling Feng nodded, "Thank you for your efforts."

After taking the documents, Ling Feng looked through the files, his eyes flashing with severity, "Just as I thought, this was not an accident at all, but a murder!"
