Chapter 25
Destined
“Why have you come?” Yin Ning was clearly surprised to see Yin Tao enter and hurriedly sat up from the bed.
“Just lie down.” Yin Tao couldn’t bear to see Yin Ning’s eyes swollen from crying. Yin Ning originally had a delicate and pretty face, but at this moment, she looked even more frail and pitiful.
“Why have you come?” Yin Ning was also a little tired at this moment, and was unlike her usual hostile self.
“I want to find out a bit more about Wei Feng…” Yin Tao was interrupted by Yin Ning before she could finish.
“Do you really think you’re a police officer?” Yin Ning’s brows furrowed slightly. She didn’t like Yin Tao’s questioning tone. “I’ve already given a statement at the police station this morning. If you’re curious, go back to the police station and read the statement yourself. Don’t cause trouble here.”
Yin Ning seemed a little impatient. She hated interacting with Yin Tao to begin with.
“I’m not looking for trouble. I just want to ask who was there on the night of your gathering.” Yin Tao knew Yin Ning’s personality well, so she didn’t get angry and continued to ask patiently.
“I went with Wei Jie. I don’t know all of Wei Feng’s friends. There were three that I’ve never met before. Xi Feng and Jin Chen, whom you met the last time, were there too.” Yin Ning didn’t have the energy to argue with Yin Tao anymore when she saw that her attitude was good.
“Did anything unpleasant happen between the two of you?” Yin Tao observed Yin Ning’s expression while she asked. It seemed like she wasn’t lying.
“What unhappiness could there be? We’re all friends and the atmosphere was very cordial. Who knew…” Yin Ning thought of Wei Feng and couldn’t help but sob softly again. “Wei Jie only has one brother. They’re usually very close. Why did such an accident happen?”
Yin Tao took a few pieces of tissue from the table and handed them to Yin Ning. “I participated in the autopsy of Wei Feng’s body. I hope you can carefully think about the details of yesterday’s gathering. We all want to catch the murderer as soon as possible, don’t we?”
When Yin Ning heard Yin Tao’s words, she was clearly shocked and asked in confusion, “That’s impossible. Wei Jie said that she arranged for the most experienced forensic doctor in the city. How could it be…”
“That’s my master. I’m just assisting in the autopsy.” Yin Tao helplessly explained. Her younger sister really looked down on her.
Yin Ning wiped her tears with a tissue and looked up at Yin Tao. “Have you seen Wei Jie?”
“We met once at the funeral parlor. But we’ve rarely met each other to begin with, so she didn’t recognize me either.” Yin Tao saw Yin Ning visibly relieved, and her lips curled in a bitter smile. This mother and daughter duo really despised her profession.
“Is she okay?” There was a hint of concern in Yin Ning’s eyes.
“No, she is very haggard. How can she be well after losing a brother?” Yin Tao couldn’t stand Yin Ning’s pretentiousness and wasn’t afraid of Yin Ning glaring at her. She asked, “So, think carefully so that you can help your friend catch the murderer as soon as possible. Was there anything unusual on the day of the gathering ?”
Yin Ning thought about it and sighed. She said in a low voice, “There’s really nothing unusual. Wei Feng has a good personality and seemed to get along with his friends. I can’t tell who has anything against him.”
“Was he very happy that night?” Yin Tao took out her phone, wanting to take some simple notes.
“He was quite happy, but he drank a little too much. In the end, he was picked up by the Wei family’s chauffeur.” Yin Ning looked at Yin Tao expectantly and asked, “Do you know where the Wei family’s chauffeur is now? I heard from the police that he seemed to have gone missing.”
Missing?!
Before Yin Tao could ask Captain Chen about the case, she asked Yin Ning in surprise, “Do you think it’s the chauffeur?”
Yin Tao deliberately asked Yin Ning this because she wanted to use Yin Ning’s reaction to confirm the cause of Wei Feng’s death in her previous life.
The original novel did not explain the cause of Wei Feng’s death clearly. However, as the protagonist of the original novel and being Wei Jie’s good friend, Yin Ning should have a deep impression of Wei Feng’s death.
“That shouldn’t be the case. The Wei family’s chauffeur is an old employee of the Wei Corporation. He practically watched Wei Feng grow up. He won’t hurt him.” Yin Ning knew that before she was reborn, Wei Feng had been killed in a kidnap. However, Wei Feng had been kidnapped on the way to the airport. As Wei Jie’s friend, Yin Ning deliberately reminded Wei Feng to avoid going out by himself, and that it was best to bring the chauffeur along.
Who knew that Wei Feng would die so early in this life? From the point where Yin Tao didn’t quit her job as a forensic doctor, Yin Ning realized that many things were no longer under her control. However, there were still some predestined outcomes that couldn’t be changed.
