The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 450 - Chapter 450 Chapter 450 Seeing the Perpetrator

Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Seeing the Perpetrator Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Seeing the Perpetrator Zhong Niangyao leaned back, a picture of languid comfort, with a smile curling up the corner of her mouth, “People who have a grudge against me? Oh, there are indeed quite a few!”

“Of course, if you wanted to ask who has the ability to hire a hitman, then I could tell you that those people who hold a grudge against me, they all have such capability.”

In a few words, she had pre-empted Han Xin’s follow-up questions.

Han Xin looked down, pondered for a moment, then spoke up, “Then Lady Zhong, who exactly is the person pulling the strings behind the scenes?”

“Captain?” Lu Fei exclaimed in surprise.

Clearly, he had not expected that his seemingly wise and astute captain would ask such a foolish question. Zhong Niangyao was supposed to be the victim, right? Now the captain was directly asking the victim who the perpetrator was–wasn’t that just nonsensical?

Moreover, even if Zhong Niangyao did mention a name, would that person really be the murderer?

Han Xin paid no attention to Lu Fei, his gaze fixed on Zhong Niangyao’s face, afraid to miss even the slightest change in her expression.

“You should be the ones investigating that,” Zhong Niangyao shrugged her shoulders and spoke nonchalantly, “If there really is someone behind the scenes, then it’s up to you to unearth them!”

Watching Zhong Niangyao’s demeanor, Han Xin always felt that she had either guessed or was already certain who the mastermind was.

Yet, if Zhong Niangyao was unwilling to speak, he had no way to force her. Of course, he also didn’t possess the ability to coerce Zhong Niangyao.

After an unproductive conversation, Han Xin did not obtain any useful information from Zhong Niangyao. However, he was inclined to think that although she did not disclose it verbally, she was already well aware of the situation.

Still, Zhong Niangyao wasn’t saying, nor could he compel her to. And deep down, he faintly suspected that Zhong Niangyao would not let the person behind the scenes off the hook.

Just as Han Xin was about to leave, Zhong Niangyao seemed to ponder for a moment and then suddenly spoke, “Captain Han, may I see the driver responsible for the accident?”

Before Han Xin could reply, Lu Fei had already interjected, “Lady Zhong, we understand how you feel right now. But according to regulations–”

He was cut off by Han Xin, who interrupted, “Yes, Lady Zhong, whenever is convenient for you, I’ll arrange it.”

“Let’s go right now, then!”

Zhong Niangyao rose to her feet, “I happen to have no classes today, so I might as well go and take a look.”

Han Xin did not anticipate that Zhong Niangyao would act so decisively today. They had just agreed to see the driver, and now she wanted to go immediately–keeping up with such pace really required one to react quickly!

Soon, the group set off toward the hospital.

Han Xin and Lu Fei drove in the police car. As for Zhong Niangyao, she chose not to ride in the police car, nor did she drive herself. Instead, she had her family driver take her to the hospital.

In the police car, Lu Fei was driving but casting occasional glances in Han Xin’s direction, as though hoping to glean some answers from his face.

“If you have something to ask, just ask,” said Han Xin bluntly, “And focus on driving while you’re at it. Otherwise, if you end up causing an accident, you’ll be in too deep to wash clean even in the Yellow River.”

Hearing Han Xin’s words, Lu Fei straightened his expression and still voiced his doubts, “Captain, isn’t Lady Zhong’s request to see the driver involved in the accident a bit irregular? If the higher-ups find out, we will definitely face severe punishment.”

Han Xin glanced at Lu Fei who was now driving attentively, then spoke, “Don’t worry, if any punishment comes down, I will take full responsibility. This decision was mine, and it has nothing to do with you.”

“Captain, that’s not what I meant,” Lu Fei hastily spoke up, “I’m not worried about the punishment. It’s just that Zhong Niangyao is the victim, and now you’re taking the victim to see the perpetrator–doesn’t that seem inappropriate?”

In fact, Zhong Niangyao hadn’t suffered any physical harm but was very likely the victim of this incident. Moreover, as an ordinary person, Zhong Niangyao would not typically have access to suspects according to regulations.

“That Lady Zhong, she’s not an ordinary person,” Han Xin pondered before explaining, “There are many things I can’t clearly explain to you, just remember this. Also, regarding Lady Zhong’s affairs, the superiors are informed. Whatever she wants to do has their approval.”

Upon hearing Han Xin’s explanation, Lu Fei’s eyes widened, a flash of shock passing through them.

From the beginning, he had felt that Zhong Niangyao’s reactions were out of the ordinary. Now he realized there was more to the story! However, it was even stranger to hear that the higher-ups were aware of Zhong Niangyao’s situation. Why hadn’t the incident involving Zhong Niangyao alerted them? If Zhong Niangyao’s support truly came from the leadership, shouldn’t more police resources be dedicated to handling this matter?

For a moment, Lu Fei felt puzzled and struggled to guess the underlying interests and connections.

Han Xin was unaware that his few words had already sparked so many jumbled speculations in Lu Fei. At this moment, he was re-examining all the clues from yesterday’s accident in his mind.

Zhong Niangyao and Han Xin arrived at the hospital and met up. They then headed in the direction of the ward.

Arriving at the doors to the ward, Zhong Niangyao immediately noticed the two policemen guarding there.

After Han Xin spoke with the guards at the door, Zhong Niangyao followed him into the ward.

Inside the ward–

The driver responsible for the accident lay on the hospital bed with a broken right leg in a cast. His forehead was wrapped in bandages, through which the fresh red blood could faintly be seen, indicating he was seriously injured.

The entrance of visitors immediately caught the attention of the driver. Upon seeing Han Xin and Lu Fei, his expression remained unchanged. He had met Han Xin and Lu Fei before when they had come to question him.

However, when he saw Zhong Niangyao following close behind, he couldn’t help but shrink his pupils and his gaze carried a hint of evasion.

The driver’s reaction was, of course, fully observed by both Zhong Niangyao and Han Xin.

Zhong Niangyao walked straight to the bedside, then pulled up a chair and sat down.
