Chapter 484: Five Years On, It’s My Turn to Pursue You (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What?!
Zhuang Nainai jerked her head up in shock and stared at Si Zhengting.
Ding Mengya had spent the entire afternoon with Si Zhengting on that day, and she couldn’t have been the person who had run her mother over?
Then who was the person who had run her mother over?
She stared at him in shock.
Si Zhengting reached out and held her hand. “Tell me, why are you so sure that she was the person who did it?”
She continued pursing her lips.
He stared at her with those dark eyes of his. “Nainai, believe me.”
Believe me.
Those words made Nainai feel like she was at a loss. Could she… really believe him?
She raised her head and looked at him unwaveringly. After a while, she lowered her head. “I saw the recording.”
“What kind of recording was it?”
“The recording on the road. It showed your mother very clearly.”
Si Zhengting furrowed his brows. He had already tasked Ji Chen to check on the matter. However, it had happened five years ago. The folder had long disappeared, and all the recordings had been deleted. Even if he wanted to recover them, he couldn’t do so.
But…
“Are you sure that you got a good look at her face?”
A good look?
The resolution of the recording was pretty poor as it had been captured five years ago. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have been able to see Ding Mengya’s face that clearly. Everyone’s features would have looked the same on a recording with poor resolution, and furthermore, all she saw was that person’s side profile. She had reached the conclusion that the person who had run her mother over was Ding Mengya on her own. So, no matter how the recording appeared and how she thought about the matter, she was sure that Ding Mengya had been the culprit.
So much so that she remembered seeing Ding Mengya’s face clearly in the recording.
But after Si Zhengting asked her that question, that face that she had clearly pictured in her mind’s eye suddenly became blurry.
So, had she gotten a good look at the person in the recording?
Zhuang Nainai suddenly looked like she was at a loss.
Si Zhengting hurriedly said, “Nainai, believe me. She had really been with me all afternoon on that day. She couldn’t have run your mother over with her car.”
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows. “But if she wasn’t the person who had run my mother over all those years ago, why had my mother been so agitated when she saw Ding Mengya?”
After she said this, she bit her lip. “I’m sure you’ve asked the doctor about my mother’s condition already. She actually has Alzheimer’s disease, but there’s nothing else wrong with her. She would only lash out if she had been provoked. But if it wasn’t your mother who had run her over, how else had they interacted with each other before?! Why had she been so agitated?”
After she said this, Zhuang Nainai suddenly realized something. “Where was the hospital you were hospitalized in back then?”
Si Zhengting jolted with shock. “It was located near Xiwuhuan.”
Zhuang Nainai refuted, “Then why are you sure that your mother had been with you for that entire afternoon? The hospital you were in was so close to our home. It would only have taken her half an hour to get to where we were!”
As he heard what Zhuang Nainai had to say, Si Zhengting was shocked. He had been quite ill back then and had only felt Ding Mengya’s presence for the entire afternoon. How was he so sure that she hadn’t left his side for the entire afternoon?
But…
“Nainai, Madam Ding is not such a person. Believe me.”
“I do believe you, but I don’t believe her.” Zhuang Nainai gazed determinedly at Si Zhengting. “She had threatened me in the afternoon, and the next thing I knew, my mother had gotten into an accident later in the day. The figure of the person in the rental car was similar to hers. Do you really think that it was all a coincidence? Also, she had asked someone to pass me some money afterward. Si Zhengting, if you were me, would you believe that the culprit was someone else?”
Believe?
Thinking about the situation objectively, Si Zhengting thought that he would also doubt Madam Ding.
But Madam Ding would definitely not admit to it.
Si Zhengting furrowed his brows. “We’ve been looking for that police officer on the case back then…”
“He doesn’t know anything,” Zhuang Nainai said, then continued, “And I’ve promised not to look for him anymore.”
Si Zhengting thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something. “And that taxi driver! He would definitely know that that person wasn’t my mother!”
