Chapter 1426: Pretending to be a Couple

Wei Lingnan told her. “This is the miracle cure. After receiving Tan Ying’s call, I guessed that it would be needed, so I brought over a bottle.”

Xia Yingluo nodded. “It has been hard on you.”

He smiled. “It’s not a big deal, Ah Luo. I’m honored to work for you. Jin Ling’er’s condition will stabilize, but she was severely injured and needs a lot of rest in the coming days. She has to be taken care of well.”

His last sentence was directed at Du Zheng.

Du Zheng quickly answered, “I will take good care of her.”

The few of them waited outside the ward for a long time. In the evening, the attending doctor announced that Jin Ling’er’s condition had stabilized and they were relieved. As soon as she relaxed her tense emotions, Xia Yingluo felt a little tired, so Wei Lingnan sent her home and bade her farewell.

Just as she was about to walk towards her villa, Wei Lingnan called her. “Ah Luo.”

She turned around and looked at him in confusion.

He also looked at her with eyes as calm as water.

She asked him. “What’s wrong?”

He smiled. “It’s nothing. I just…” He just missed her a little. He already started to miss her before they said goodbye.

He was not someone who did grand romantic gestures, so he just said, “Get home soon.”

She rolled her eyes a little, turned around and entered her house.

Wei Lingnan stood outside the exquisite fence of the villa and watched her back view until it disappeared behind the front door and the lights of her room on the second floor were turned on. Only then did he drive away.

Jin Ling’er stayed in the hospital to recuperate.

When she received Wei Lingnan’s medical treatment on the second day, she woke up. However, the doctor said that she was still very weak and needed to be hospitalized for a long time. Du Zheng, who was by her side, asked her, “What happened at that time? Tell me.”

Jin Ling’er knew that he cared about her. As she recalled the story of the car accident, she said, “At that time, I was crossing the road when the traffic light was green… Suddenly, a car uncontrollably rushed out. People surrounding me screamed… I turned around and saw it. I thought about running away, but it was too fast…” At this point, Jin Ling’er suddenly paused. “It’s really strange. At that time, the cars on the road were all moving very slowly. Why was that car moving so fast?”

Du Zheng was startled. “How fast was it?”

“80… 100… At least 100mph!” Jin Ling’er said with certainty and was surprised by her own deduction. “Chairman Du, there was a speed limit and it was at a crossroad. The cars were all waiting for the red light, so how was it possible for that car to speed past all of them? It’s almost… ghostly!”

Du Zheng also felt that this situation was fishy. Even if the driver had the intention to drive at such a high speed, he needed enough distance to speed up. However, that street did not have the correct conditions for that to happen. He said, “I will investigate.”

Although the police already concluded this as a drunk driving case, he would not stop until he uncovered the truth because it concerned Jin Ling’er.
