The Wife's Car Crash Scheme: I'll Play Along
墨書 Inktalez
On National Day, my parents were involved in a car accident on the highway, perishing in flames with no remains left behind.
When I received the call, I felt nothing. My wife's assistant was frantic, urging me to rush to the scene.
I blocked him and turned off my phone, continuing to listen to music and work out.
In my previous life, I believed his lies and ended up losing everything, facing a fate of shame and disgrace.
In this life, I was determined to see what new tricks they could pull.
"Honey, when will Mom and Dad arrive? I'll go pick them up," my wife said gently. Her tone sent chills down my spine; in my past life, she was the one who had sent me to prison as the executioner.
"No need, I'll go myself," I replied coldly, my detached tone causing her some alarm.
Yet I clearly saw a flash of triumph in her eyes.
I grabbed my car keys and walked out without looking back. "I'll go by myself," I said icily, leaving those words behind as I headed straight for the garage.
Starting the car, I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the tumult of emotions within me.
The accident had occurred at the 127-kilometer mark on the G3 highway. I opened the navigation app and set the destination.
At the same time, I called my friend at the hospital, Li Ming. "Li Ming, help me check something. There was a major accident today at 127 kilometers on the G3 highway. I need all the details as quickly as possible."
My tone was calm but left no room for doubt.
Li Ming seemed hesitant on the other end. "Old Shen, this... might be difficult. You know that investigation results for traffic accidents are generally not made public..."
He stammered, and I could sense he was sitting up straight, feeling a bit tense.
"Help me with this favor; I owe you one." My tone was steady, and he knew what this favor meant.
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, then Li Ming's determined voice came through, "Alright, I'll give it a try."
The black Benz sped down the highway, the scenery outside blurring past.
I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my parents' kind faces flashing in my mind.
When I arrived at the scene, it had already been cleared, leaving only some charred remnants and a pungent smell of burnt debris in the air.
Outside the police cordon, Zhang Wan and Qin Hui were speaking in hushed tones. Upon seeing me, they immediately approached.
Zhang Wan's eyes were red and filled with tears, her expression one of utter despair. "Husband..." she choked out, trying to throw herself into my arms.
I subtly sidestepped her attempt at contact, my gaze sweeping over her somewhat exaggerated display, a cold smile forming in my heart.
Qin Hui looked anxious as he reported the situation. "President Shen, we’ve contacted the traffic police and the insurance company; they are handling the follow-up matters..." He spoke while discreetly observing my expression.
I crouched down to examine the fragments left on the ground closely.
Suddenly, a dusty piece of watch debris caught my attention.
The style and color of this watch were unlike anything I had ever seen my father wear.
He had always preferred simple and elegant designs, while this watch was adorned with numerous tiny diamonds, appearing particularly ostentatious.
"This watch..." I pointed to the debris on the ground and looked at Qin Hui.
Qin Hui's expression shifted slightly, his eyes flickering. "It might... it might belong to Uncle; the accident scene was too chaotic, and many things were damaged..." His voice trembled slightly, clearly lacking confidence.
I stood up and brushed off the dust from my hands, choosing not to say anything further.
Returning to the city, I drove straight to my father's law firm.
"Mr. Wang, I need to review my father's will and his recent financial records," I stated directly as I took a seat in Mr. Wang's office.
Mr. Wang was an elderly man in his fifties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and sporting a serious expression.
He adjusted his glasses and hesitated slightly before asking, "Mr. Shen, your father's will only takes effect after his passing. To look at it now..."
"Mr. Wang, my parents died unexpectedly, and I need to confirm some matters," I interrupted him firmly. "I hope you can cooperate with my request."
I pulled a business card from my pocket and handed it to him. "Additionally, I need your help investigating some matters regarding the financial transactions of Zhang Wan and Qin Hui. The more detailed, the better."
Mr. Wang took the card with a grave expression and nodded, "Understood, Mr. Shen. I will handle it as soon as possible."
Leaving the law firm, I sat in my car, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
This unfamiliar watch, Qin Hui's flickering gaze, Zhang Wan's excessive grief... all the clues pointed to a disturbing truth: this car accident may not have been an accident at all.
My hands instinctively tightened around the steering wheel.
