Chapter 257
Her face was very pale, because she was in a coma, she no longer displayed her usual quick-wittedness in talking back to him. Instead, she seemed much more obedient at this time. noveldrama
Yet, it was this very obedience that made him, standing by the edge of her bed, think of another face -- a face he had seen countless times in the past few days.
How could there be such a huge difference? How was this possible?
He stared at this face and, for reasons unknown, suddenly bent over like he was compelled by some ghostly force, and then his fingers brushed back the strands of hair that fell across her forehead.
Those websites said that if someone had plastic surgery, the incisions would be made from behind the face, so was she...
"Third Master, what are you doing?"
His movement came to an abrupt halt!
In an instant, the man who was bent over froze as if he had been struck by an acupoint technique.
Secretary Gao walked in and saw this, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Holy shit!
President, what are you doing? He had only been away for three days; had their relationship already progressed so suddenly?
"Third Master..."
"Since when have you become so unversed in the protocols? Don’t you know to knock before entering?"
As if shocked by electricity, the man who finally came back to his senses, with a slightly flushed face, harshly dropped this line and withdrew his hand.
Secretary Gao: "..."
What kind of people were these? The door wasn’t even closed; did it make any difference whether he knocked or not?
However, since the president had said as much, he could only symbolically knock again before entering with the documents in his hand: "Third Master, I’ve found the license plate you asked me to check. It belongs to a vehicle of Tianyu Company."
"Tianyu Company?"
"Yes, a trading company. But you might be a bit surprised by the legal representative."
"Who?"
"Lin Yebai!"
"..."
Surprised?
No, he wasn’t surprised at all. That car accident, one could tell at first glance it was man-made. If he remembered correctly, on the road where the accident occurred, there were three intersections where one could have turned back to the city, but she didn’t turn back until she reached the last one, facing the highway overpass, and it was then that the unthinkable accident happened. What did that indicate?
It indicated that someone had intentionally tried to prevent her from returning. So, who was the most likely person to do this?
Of course, the first suspect was her closely associated master -- Lin Yebai.
It seemed, this matter was getting more intriguing by the minute.
He flipped through the materials he had brought, and at last, after seeing the name "Lin Yebai" written on the photocopy, he handed back the documents: "After the accident, was he seen at the scene?"
"He wasn’t, but I reckon that the police won’t be able to find out this information, because I only managed to learn that the car belonged to Lin Yebai through many connections."
Secretary Gao was also surprised when he uncovered this information, as he knew that Lin Yebai was this woman’s master. If he was her master, why would he have someone hit her? It made no sense.
Ou Mucen was also somewhat taken aback, but he wasn’t surprised that the car belonged to Lin Yebai. What surprised him was, if the two really had conspired together, why would such an accident take place in the end.
Clearly, this bizarre car accident was a result of a conflict in opinions between the two of them.
So, was she trying to save his company, while that man had arranged all this to stop her?
