“Do you remember this person?” Mei Shu showed her a photo of Zhou Nan.
Liu Lan glanced at it and quickly shook her head, “I don’t know him, I’ve never seen him before.”
“Take another look.” Mei Shu handed the phone to her.
Liu Lan avoided eye contact as if trying to escape, “1 haven’t seen him, really haven’t. Miss Mei, do you have other matters?”
Mei Shu lowered her gaze, looking at Liu Lan’s feet under the table that were already slightly turned outward. She could tell that Liu Lan wanted to escape. She took back her phone with a faint smile, “Mrs. Liu, you should know that if we have the ability to feed a piece of meat to your husband, we certainly have the ability to make him spit it out. Now, let me ask you again, did you or did you not see him?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing this, Liu Lan was startled at first. Then, she lowered her head hesitantly and responded with a mosquito-like hum, “I saw him, but we aren’t acquainted. We only met once!”
Mei Shu smiled satisfactorily, “How did you meet, and what happened that day? Tell me everything you know.”
Liu Lan hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when suddenly, the man across the table made a nearly adorable whimper.
Mei Shu stiffened all over. The hatred in her eyes from before disappeared, replaced by an indelible tenderness. “What’s wrong?”
Lu Si opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, it was apparent that he recalled Mei Shu’s warning and closed his mouth again, looking somewhat forlorn as he stared at a dish on the table.
Mei Shu understood instantly and quickly served him some of the dish.
Lu Si immediately showed a happy expression and happily started eating.
Liu Lan, watching in astonishment, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with him? Why isn’t he speaking?”
Lu Si gave her a resentful glare.
Mei Shu quickly changed the subject, “Continue talking about what happened earlier.”
Liu Lan thought for a while, then replied, “Actually, I only had a chance encounter with him. At that time, the manor needed temporary workers, and he came to apply for the job, working for just a day before wanting to settle the accounts and leave.”
“How much did you pay him?” Mei Shu asked casually.
Liu Lan quickly answered, “Two hundred! That was the price the manager set, and the work wasn’t heavy; it was just temporary help, so we didn’t pay too much.”
Mei Shu continued eating while asking, “This person appeared at the manor for just one day six years ago. How do you still remember him even now?”
Hearing this, Liu Lan tensed up, forcing a fake smile, “Isn’t it because something terrible happened near the manor the next day? So, 1 still have some impression.”
“Not just that, isn’t it?” Mei Shu said indifferently, “What else happened that day? 1 advise you to tell me everything.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiu Lan stammered, “There’s really nothing else. I was just a finance manager at that time. The person in charge of him was another person. 1 was just a payroll worker. I really don’t know much else.”
Mei Shu seemed to have expected her to say that. She nodded casually and said, “Then tell me why you suddenly resigned.”
“With such a serious car accident there, who would dare to work there?” Liu Lan didn’t lie this time.
Mei Shu could see that, although she was hiding something, at least this statement was true.
Thinking of something, Mei Shu asked, “After the accident, did the police come to ask you questions?
“No.” Liu Lan averted her gaze unnaturally, trying to change the topic, and asked Mei Shu, “Miss Mei, what’s your relationship with the woman involved in the car accident? Why do you suddenly remember to ask about this after so many years?”
Mei Shu, under Lu Si’s eager gaze, handed him some snacks, “She was my mother.”
Liu Lan looked at her incredulously, “So that’s it! But wasn’t the car accident classified as an accident back then? What else can you investigate now? Do you suspect that your mother’s death is related to the man from earlier?”
Mei Shu stared at her directly, catching the trace of panic in her eyes that she couldn’t hide in time. She then smirked with a touch of mockery, “Mrs. Liu, I think you probably know better than anyone what that man did back then.” “What do you mean?” Liu Lan panicked, “Please don’t speak nonsense! I really don’t know anything! It’s been so many years, and now you want to investigate again, but it’s meaningless!”
“Oh, really?”
Mei Shu pointed out the time of the surveillance footage showing Bai Ling holding brake fluid in the parking lot and the time Liu Lan transferred money to Zhou Nan. She fabricated, “Perhaps you don’t know, but my mother was actually in contact with me at that time. She told me that she accidentally got burned by a man’s cigarette butt, but it wasn’t too serious. After treating the wound, she went to the parking lot to change the brake fluid. That man was Zhou Nan, and these two times are so close.. Do you know what that implies?”
