Xiao Minxing sneered and said, "Sure, now they're desperate. Since that's the case, don't blame me for not leaving them any way out."
I didn't know what he was planning, but I felt that we were outnumbered and outmatched. Xiao Minxing was in the open while they were in the dark. Even if the police intervened now, what good would it do? Without evidence, they couldn't arrest them all.
Moreover, I only suspected that Jin Ke had connections with the Xiao Family. Whether it was true or not was hard to say; after all, before this, Jin Ke primarily hated me.
Additionally, these two incidents were actually aimed at me. Xiao Minxing had been out for so long without anything happening to him.
If this was truly the work of the Xiao Family, shouldn't they have targeted Xiao Minxing first? After all, they had done similar things before; the last time at the bar when they beat up Su Qian and the others was a real act by the Xiao Family.
The situation became increasingly confusing. On one hand, I wanted to leave Haicheng as soon as possible to relax; on the other hand, I feared that if we left, something even worse might happen here.
The news of Jin Ke's death reached me the next day.
It was Xiao Minxing who called me after work to tell me. Upon hearing this news, I couldn't say a word; my hands trembled so much that I didn't even realize how long I had been on the phone before hanging up.
Jin Ke actually died because of this?
It was quite unexpected. I believed that when she acted that way, she never anticipated such an outcome. Based on the circumstances at that time, if it hadn't been for the car that came from behind and crashed into her, she would have been fine. Even if she had hit me, due to the angle, she would have only sustained minor injuries at most.
According to Xiao Minxing, she remained in critical condition after being taken to the Hospital. Even after treating all her injuries, she didn't escape the danger zone and was declared dead in the early morning.
The car she drove to crash into me was found to be registered under Li Ru's name.
Did Li Ru lend her car to Jin Ke to hit me?
We received information that Li Ru reported her car missing a day prior. She didn't report it stolen because she hadn't noticed it was gone. Although Xiao Minfeng had fallen from grace, Li Ru still had some money left. Over the years, she had become increasingly cunning in dealing with Xiao Minfeng, and this car wasn't her only one; moreover, it wasn't one she frequently used.
So when the police found her, she looked innocent at first, pretending not to know her car was missing. Later, upon hearing that Jin Ke had taken her car and died in an accident, she shifted all responsibility onto herself.
Li Ru said, "I have no idea. She has indeed been getting closer to Xiao Minfeng recently, but I usually don't ask about their matters and haven't thought much about it. Who would have thought she would take my car out privately and get into an accident? She had borrowed my car before, but I thought she was a friend of my husband and quite well-behaved, so I didn't think much of it."
Even if this matter leads to shared responsibility, Li Ru wouldn't be implicated; they would only look for Xiao Minfeng.
However, for us, this matter has become quite clear. There's no need for further speculation. Whether it's Li Ru or Xiao Minfeng, it could very well be that they conspired together.
Xiao Minxing held my hand and said, "Tell Sister Liu and the others that you should go out less recently. If you need anything at home, I'll have someone deliver it."
"And you?" I looked at him and asked.
He just smiled lightly and softly replied, "I'm fine, don't worry. They won't dare to move against me easily."
I wasn't reassured at all. The Xiao siblings may not be good at other things, but when it comes to doing bad deeds, they are quite adept. I don't believe they wouldn't dare to act against Xiao Minxing; they simply don't want to or haven't found the right opportunity.
After this incident occurred, I really stayed at home idly while Xiao Minxing handled everything outside. He became even busier.
Sometimes he came back late from work, and I would worry a lot. My heart would race, and various unpleasant images would flash through my mind, including Jin Ke's terrifying face after being hit.
Time dragged on in this torment; each day felt as long as ten thousand years.
That morning, just after Xiao Minxing left for work, Su Qian called.
I was feeling anxious, so I didn't show much enthusiasm when I answered his call. Another reason was that Xiao Minxing was still wary of him. Although I felt Su Qian was safe, our situation wasn't good right now. I didn't want him to be distracted by my issues, so it was best to minimize unnecessary troubles.
Su Qian just mentioned that he heard I almost got hit a few days ago and asked how I was doing.
I honestly replied, "I'm fine; she didn't hit me."
He casually asked, "Did you have a deep grudge against her before?"
How should I put it? Even now, I don't feel like there's any irreconcilable enmity between me and Jin Ke. Every time I think about her dying because of this incident, it actually makes me feel quite uncomfortable.
Su Qian said on the other end, "I have a friend who works in the traffic department. I also took a look at the surveillance footage from that day. It seems she was targeting you, and that car had been waiting near your residence all morning. When Mina was in the car, she didn't take action, but when you returned, she hit you at that angle."
"What do you mean?" I asked, pursuing the question.
Su Qian paused for a moment before speaking, "Her target is very clear; she doesn't want you alive. If she had hit you directly, you would have had a hard time escaping unharmed."
I remained silent, my heart racing as I quietly listened to Su Qian's words on the phone.
"The worst-case scenario is that neither of you would survive. However, her car's front bumper is reinforced, and its impact force is better than what you were driving at the time. So she probably just wanted to cause you trouble while sustaining only minor injuries herself."
I should probably thank myself for getting married; Xiao Minxing threw a car at me. During that time, life was always filled with various unpleasantness, so I often drove around to clear my mind. Even in those moments of extreme frustration and lack of focus, I never encountered any accidents. Perhaps this laid the foundation for my skills as an experienced driver.
So when I saw Jin Ke's car rushing towards me, it was only natural for me to react quickly.
Maybe my guard against her wasn't strong enough, but at that moment we were both in our cars, and I held an absolute advantage.
Even though all reasoning seemed normal and the incident was in the past, whether others brought it up or I thought about it myself, I would still break out in a cold sweat.
Su Qian asked on the other end, "Are you okay?"
I touched my forehead with my hand and took a long time to respond, "I'm fine. Surviving this ordeal is a stroke of luck; now I don't even dare to go out."
