Chapter 624: Chapter 624 I’m Going to Shout a Lot More

The trip to the hospital took twenty minutes. Suizi simultaneously soothed a despondent Chen Lijun while going over the details of the case in her mind, forming several theories.

In an era where private cars were a rarity, the likelihood of car accidents was extremely low.

Given the fact that the old man was on his deathbed, this "accident" appeared even more contrived.

Whoever would benefit the most from Fan Huang’s death was the prime suspect.

The conflict was not only within the Fan family, but Fan Huang’s work could also cause him some trouble.

"Jingting, don’t lose track of the truck driver. We should start our investigation from him. We can’t rely on the police for this, we’ll have to carry out our own investigation. Once we arrive at the hospital, you go and investigate, see if you can find anything before the evidence is destroyed."

"Also keep an eye on the driver’s family, especially if they have recently received any large payments."

"Pay attention to who from the Fan family is taking charge of the situation, get a sense of what their inclinations are, and note down their every word. Report back to me."

As Suizi methodically analyzed each piece of information, Chen Lijun regarded her with newfound respect.

"Mom, do you have any trustworthy people you can lend to Jingting? We are new here and without a strong foundation, we didn’t bring anyone with us," Suizi asked.

Chen Lijun nodded. She had regained some of her rationality by now.

"My secretary has already arrived at the scene. Fan Huang’s secretary should be arriving soon too."

They are long-time trusted aides, reliable individuals.

"Also, Jingting, keep an eye on both secretaries. Watch for any irregularities. Anyone who knows Uncle Fan’s schedule is a suspect."

Yu Jingting nodded to show he understood.

It was the first time Chen Lijun had seen Suizi so serious. She subconsciously looked down at her hand held by Suizi.

The delicate hands of her daughter that she remembered were no longer there. In their place, were firm and strong hands. Her daughter who always clung to her and cried out for ’mom’ had grown up.

Yu Jingting dropped Suizi and Chen Lijun off at the hospital. He did not go in, but went straight to the address given by Chen Lijun to meet with the secretaries at the scene.

Suizi and her mother hurried to the emergency room.

There were already several people waiting outside the emergency room. An elderly woman with white hair started swearing at Chen Lijun as soon as she saw her.

"What are you doing here? Haven’t you caused enough damage to my son? You destroyed one of my sons, now you want to ruin both of them? Why wasn’t it you who had the accident?"

Before Chen Lijun could respond, Suizi pulled her behind her. Normally slow and unhurried, Suizi suddenly seemed to be possessed by Yu Jingting, releasing a flurry of words.

"You say my mom harmed your son, do you have any proof? Did she hit him? You accuse her without evidence. You people from big families, truly eye-opening!"

"Who do you think you are?" The grieving old lady was taken aback by someone confronting her. She glared angrily, her two young companions stepped forward, looking as if they were about to start a fight.

Unfazed, Suizi stepped forward, her aura overwhelming all three of them.

"I am a person, not a thing. I suggest you pay attention to your own status. How you view others reflects who you are."

The implication was that the old lady wasn’t a ’person’.

"Chen Lijun! Is this the good child you’ve raised?" The old lady pointed at Suizi and asked Chen Lijun.

"Yes, I think my daughter is excellent." Standing beside her daughter, Chen Lijun’s tone was indifferent, with a hint of fatigue.

He was still inside, in critical condition. She didn’t want to get into a fight with his mother.

"Disrespectful to the elders, you are blunt and crude when speaking to your superiors. A child raised in a mountain ditch truly lacks manners."

"I admit I was raised in a village. However, I was taught morality, righteousness, integrity, and honor from a young age. I was taught not to speak falsely, for it discards morality. I also know that kind words warm for three winters, while vile words freeze for six months. Uncle Fan is still in there fighting for his life, and here you are eager to dirty my mom’s name. Truly an eye-opening sight!"

"She is an ill-fated woman, she brings death to her husband and to her son! She ruined my youngest boy and now even my eldest is not spared — Chen Lijun, I was opposed to you entering our family, is this your revenge?"

"When did my mom bring harm to her husband? Isn’t she still married to Uncle Fan? As for bringing harm to her son, nonsense, I’m living a good life. Which eye of yours saw me being harmed? I’m trying to talk science with you and you bring up superstitions, alright, let’s discuss it from your superstitious point of view."

Suizi’s speech was now twice its usual pace. To protect her family, she was fearless.

"My mom can’t bring harm to someone who’s not her husband. But the two inside, both your sons. Pardon my straightforwardness, have you ever had a fortuneteller calculate for you? Are you the one that caused harm to your sons? Oh, right, the elder Mr. Fan is your father-in-law, isn’t he? I heard that he isn’t well either. Did you...?"

Although Suizi didn’t use a single vulgar word, she managed to successfully enrage Mrs. Fan half to death.

Mrs. Fan clutched her chest, pointing at Suizi, trembling with anger.

One of the young men accompanying her stepped forward, lifting his hand to push Suizi. Suizi kicked at him — firmly and accurately.

The man shrieked in pain, cursing Suizi for her lack of decency. She actually kicked him where it hurts!

"Listen up, all you with the surname Fan! You owe my mom an apology, and you owe me an apology too! Do not think that just because you have power and influence I’m going to be afraid of you! I’m telling you, the barefooted are not afraid of those wearing shoes. If you mess with me, I promise you, none of you will have a good life!"

"Well, looks like this little girl from Uncle’s house has got some fire in her. Quite bold," one of the young men laughed, clapping the man who was groaning while clutching his leg, "you’re pathetic, can’t even stand up to a little girl."

"I’ll kill her!" The man clutching his leg straightened up, enduring the pain, intending to defend his masculinity.

"I suggest you think thrice about it. If you dare touch her, your uncle will kill you once he wakes up"

"I don’t acknowledge her! As long as I live, this mother-daughter pair will never be allowed to step foot in our house!" Mrs. Fan was furiously hysterical.

"Heh," Suizi chuckled coldly.

She took a handkerchief from her pocket, waved it towards her shoulder, imitating the actions of the ancients as she addressed the elderly woman.

"May the old lady rest—Is this what you want? I am sorry, but the Qing Dynasty is over! You oppose it? Can your opposition hold against the current of history? Can your opposition hold against Uncle Fan’s wishes? No, I am going to start calling him dad from now on, and you can’t do a single thing to stop me!"

Chen Lijun was shocked, her eyes wide. Was this the docile girl she knew?

"You—!!!"

"What’s your problem? Not only will I call him dad, I am going to keep calling him dad. Listen carefully, dad, dad! I can call him as many times as I want to call him!"

"Ah!"

The door to the emergency room opened, the voices preceding the appearance of people. Mrs. Fan and the others were all startled.
