Catherine glowered at him while the latter ignored her and stared at Luo Anning who had hung up. “What’s the matter? You look gloomy.”
Luo Anning patted her face and took a deep breath before turning around to look at Kristen. “It’s alright. Alright, since dinner is ready. I’m going home now.”
Kristen sat up from the couch and said to her, “Anning, are you planning to leave us here just like that?”
Catherine turned away and thought, are you unfamiliar with this place?
To think that he could even say that after he had already gotten a clear idea of the various political forces and connections in S City.
Luo Anning smirked and asked, “Aren’t you guys at home? Nothing can go wrong even if we’re not familiar with each other, right?”
“So?” Kristen raised his brows and said, “Are you planning to ruthlessly abandon us and go home to spend some time without us?”
“That’s not what I meant,” Luo Anning explained feebly.
However, she suddenly remembered that Rong Yan was going on a business trip for a few days and hence, lost her mood and could not bring herself to do anything.
“Stay here then. Accompany Catherine and I on a tour of S City tonight,” Kristen said without hesitation.
Luo Anning decided to stay since what he said made sense.
…
At night, Luo Anning was shopping with Kristen and Catherine when she received Feng Churui’s call.
Feng Churui said that the letter had been translated and that it could prove that Luo Zhiquan had colluded with that official.
Luo Anning gripped her mobile phone tightly and asked agitatedly, “Is that true? Does that mean the truth of my parents’ car accident will be revealed?”
“No, it’s not enough to just have this letter. If we want Luo Zhiquan and the officials who have been promoted to the central government to be punished, we need the most direct evidence of their car accident.”
“But, so many years have passed. It’s easier said than done to investigate the driver who caused the accident.”
“Anning, we can’t rush the case. The truth of your parents’ car accident will definitely be revealed. All we can do is wait.”
After ending the call, Luo Anning stared at a corner while Kristen and Catherine glanced at each other.
Was her parents’ car accident not an accident?
Kristen’s gaze landed on her face and he wondered, what else is she carrying?
Ever since the first time they met, she had constantly been tortured and remained on the verge of losing her life. She had always been in trouble.
Kristen sighed and rubbed her head. “What are you thinking about? Why are you so distracted? Why don’t you tell me and let me share your burden?”
Luo Anning snapped out of her trance and shook her head dejectedly. “Nothing much. By the way, didn’t you say we were going shopping? Let’s continue.”
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak further, Kristen decided not to force her. After taking a few steps forward, he whispered into Catherine’s ear, “Find time to investigate what happened to her parents.”
Catherine’s eyes turned gloomy and she answered coldly, “Got it.”
…
At Dawn Hospital, a group of burly men in black barged into the director’s office.
Bai Qi, who was on the night shift and reading the patient’s medical records, was shocked by the sudden commotion. “What are you guys doing?”
