Chapter 114: Busybody

“Tianhao, I’ve already taken care of it. I’ve asked someone to delete that video,” Li Yuanhang said, but he was confused, “You’re not normally a busybody. Why are you doing this?” Especially for a woman he had not met before.

Gong Tianhao was wearing a custom-made black suit, making him look slender and fit. It also made his face sharper and fiercer. His expression at that moment was puzzled. Gong Tianhao frowned. “Grandpa will be coming over soon. I don’t want the place to fall into chaos due to these strange occurrences!”

‘Yes, that’s it!’

“Oh, is that so?” Li Yuanhang said suspiciously. “Indeed, we should do our best to help the elder recuperate here.” However, Li Yuanhang’s eyes glowed curiously. ‘But what does that have to do with the young woman? Regardless, that woman is a crazy runner. She can catch up to a speeding motorcycle! If she were to represent our country at the Olympics, we’d win so many medals.’

However, that didn’t explain why Gong Tianhao suddenly decided to help the young woman. Li Yuanhang wondered if Gong Tianhao had fallen for the girl, but he soon denied it. Young Master Gong could pick any woman he wanted. Why would he come to a small county to fall with a little country girl?

However, Li Yuanhang couldn’t think of any other reason. ‘This is too strange!’

Gong Tianhao and Li Yuanhang came to Xingyin County in person to investigate if it was a suitable place for Old Master Gong’s convalesce. They just arrived today. The moment they exited the hotel, they saw a young woman chase after a motorcycle. Li Yuanhang was surprised that the young woman could run so fast, but since they were here to do business, he planned to ignore her.

But then…

“Follow them!” A cold and sharp voice came from the back seat.

“Okay!” Li Yuanhang replied. Since his boss had spoken, he had to follow it. After the motorcycle tipped over and the cameras took down the girl’s superhuman speed, the man even told Li Yuanhang to handle the situation. Li Yuanhang was confused.

He studied the young woman. No matter how he looked, the woman looked ordinary. So what was the reason that made his boss, who was normally so indifferent, help this young lady?

Li Yuanhang couldn’t help but ask, “Tianhao, do you like that young woman?”

Gong Tianhao’s sharp eyes immediately swept over and said coldly, “Who would like that ugly freak?”

‘Ugly freak?’ Granted, the young woman wasn’t a model, but she wasn’t an ugly freak either. She could be considered a delicate beauty from the countryside.

“Alright, stop wasting time. We need to get to Taoyuan Village!”

Gong Tianhao didn’t have much time. If Taoyuan Village were suitable for his grandfather, he’d move Old Master Gong over immediately. This would prevent others from coming to disturb his grandfather again.

“Alright!”



Xiao Lingyu didn’t know about all these.

She was in a bad mood. Everything was going well until someone decided to rob her. The two robbers then got in a car accident. It was hard to tell if they were still alive or not.

After making the calls, Xiao Lingyu looked at the two men on the ground. She frowned and waited for the officials to come.

After about ten minutes, all the related parties arrived.

“Where is the patient?”

“Who called the police?”

After evidence was taken, Xiao Lingyu told them the truth.

“That’s how it happened.” Xiao Lingyu said, “They were probably driving too fast to notice the stone by the roadside. The motorcycle toppled over.” Once Xiao Lingyu said that an officer shouted, “Captain, there’s a stone about 6 cm here. It has been crushed.”

The captains from the police station and traffic police walked over. That confirmed Xiao Lingyu’s statement.

At that moment, the captain for the traffic police, Captain Bi, narrowed his eyes as if thinking of something. He looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked, “You followed them from Salvation West Road to this place?”

“Yes!” Xiao Lingyu answered.

Captain Bi commented, “Do you know how far the distance from Salvation West Road to this place is? It’s about eight km.”

Only then did Xiao Lingyu realize how strange the whole event was. ‘How is that possible?’

“The motorcycle was speeding at around 80 km per hour. And you were running at its speed? How fast can you run? I doubt it’s as fast as 80 km per hour.” Captain Bi said with a serious expression. “Even our country’s fastest athlete can only manage 10 meters per second or 18 km per hour.” He suspected Xiao Lingyu was lying. After all, what she said was too hard to believe.

Xiao Lingyu frowned. She didn’t know how to explain this either. She was confused. ‘Was I running that fast?’

Captain Bi looked at Xiao Lingyu. He didn’t think she was faking her confusion. “We have to investigate this further. I’ll have to trouble you to come to the police station with us.”

“Sure.” Xiao Lingyu had no fear because she was telling the truth. But the reasoning behind the truth? She couldn’t explain it either.

This incident started from a robbery. So if there was no hidden conspiracy behind this, the two robbers brought this on themselves. They didn’t deserve pity.

At the station, Xiao Lingyu was assigned to rest at the lounge. The police and the traffic police went to check the surveillance video.

Xiao Lingyu started to run the moment her bag was snatched. She shouted, “Help, thieves!” Her speed picked up, which surprised the people around her.

However, when the footage turned to the cameras at Salvation North Road and Light South Road, the videos were all static. The videos were damaged and couldn’t be seen.

“Have someone repair them now!” Captain Bi ordered.

“Yes, sir!” The young officer obliged. As the young officer reached the door, he ran into Jiang Tao.

“Chief Jiang!” Jiang Tao walked into the room and asked, “Captain Bi, what happened?”

Captain Bi said, “Chief, two thieves robbed a girl’s bag on a motorcycle. This led to a chase and, unfortunately, a car accident. The two thieves are seriously injured. One of them hit his head and is in emergency rescue.”

Jiang Tao asked, “That’s unfortunate, but what’s so suspicious about it?”

Captain Bi explained. “Chief, the problem is that the thieves were driving at 80 km per hour. They rode for about 8 km. However, the girl almost caught up to them by just running. Chief, do you think a person’s running speed can catch up to a motorcycle?”

“Of course, that’s impossible!” Jiang Tao said, “So, you’re suspecting the girl is lying.”

Captain Bi nodded. “Yes, that’s why I came to check the surveillance footage!”

“Then, did you find anything?” Jiang Tao narrowed his eyes and asked seriously.

“The footage did show the two thieves stealing the girl’s bag. She gave chase.” Captain Bi rewound the footage for Jiang Tao to see. “She was running fast, but when she crossed into Salvation North Road and Light South Road, the surveillance went down. I had Xiao Wang check it. Chief, I…” Captain Bi was about to voice his suspicion when Jiang Tao gasped. “Isn’t that Xiao Lingyu?” Jiang Tao was surprised to see the girl in the footage.

“Yes, her name is Xiao Lingyu. Chief, do you know her?” Captain Bi was surprised too.

Jiang Tao nodded. “She’s the heroine who helped us take down Sister Hong’s human trafficking gang!”

Captain Bi was shocked. “She’s the one? She looks so delicate, but she is so clever and brave.”

“That’s the one!” Jiang Tao said, “She is an honest person. She can’t be behind the car accident. It’s impossible.” Then, Jiang Tao remembered something else. “This girl is indeed very physically fit. Back during that mission, she managed to save the boy from the hands of six human traffickers. She helped us rescue the children, and that gave us the opening to capture all the criminals. Where is Xiao Lingyu now?”

“She’s in the lounge.” Captain Bi said.

“Captain, Chief!” Xiao Wang returned. “I checked. The surveillance at Salvation North Road and Light South Road is broken. Even after it’s fixed, we can’t see the video from that period anymore.”

Captain Bi nodded. “okay.”

“However, the cameras in Chen Tong Alley where the accident happened are fine.”

Captain Bi and Jiang Tao watched the video.

It showed how the car accident happened. The blond driver looked at the rearview mirror and didn’t notice the rock on the ground. When the motorcycle flipped, Xiao Lingyu was more than 100 meters away from them. Xiao Lingyu couldn’t have sabotaged the motorcycle.

Captain Bi reluctantly believed Xiao Lingyu had indeed run with her own two feet to the site. Sadly, there was no evidence to support that.

Of course, since the footage at Chen Tong Alley proved that the motorcycle turned because of the driver’s carelessness, Captain Bi didn’t need to look into Xiao Lingyu anymore. She could be Superwoman for all he cared.

Captain Bi thought about it and called the Traffic Bureau to give his report..
