When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 587: Buried Memories (Part 17)

"The car accident... was her doing."

Sheng Jianan’s tone was light, Tang Yanqi’s entire body stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure, lowered her eyelids, and after a long silence, uttered three words: "I know."

"You know?"

Sheng Jianan had imagined countless possible reactions from Tang Yanqi. She might be shocked, or perhaps angry and furious like Zhou Chengze, or disbelieving. But he had never imagined that the person before him could be so calm, so indifferent, as to utter those three words.

Tang Yanqi slowly lifted her eyelids, her eyes still as clear as a diamond: "I am the person involved. When that car came at me, whether it was intentional or not, how could I not be clear? With that kind of speed, it was obviously aiming for my life, it’s just my luck that I’m still here."

Tang Yanqi took Sheng Jianan’s hand off her forehead and smiled: "When I was recovering in France, I dreamed of that scene more than once. I might not have a great personality, but I am not one to offend someone to the point where they would want my life. To be blunt, I can only think of two people who would want me dead: your mother and Shen Yao."

Sheng Jianan pressed his thin lips together, quietly listening to her continue.

"Later, Shen Jiyan told me he investigated it, but someone was interfering with the matter. He wasn’t able to find out much. Even in B City, the incident had been smoothed over, and nobody knew about the car accident at the foot of the cemetery that day."

A sarcastic sneer gradually appeared on Tang Yanqi’s face: "Only someone with the power to do such a thing and cover the traces, someone who has a deep-seated hatred for me, could do this—likely your mother. Certainly, I also suspected it could have been Shen Yao, and that Shen Jiyan, as her cousin, was protecting her by not telling me the truth. But later, I overturned this conclusion."

"Why? Do you trust him that much?"

Tang Yanqi’s gaze was clear and determined as she quietly looked at Sheng Jianan: "It’s not that I trust him; I trust my own eyes. Shen Jiyan seems gentle, but in reality, his personality is very cold. Cold to the point that he doesn’t care about this world at all. He only cares about a few people. Beyond them, no matter what further connection they may have, he is indifferent."

Sheng Jianan said nothing further, but in his heart, he agreed with Tang Yanqi’s words, after all, he and Shen Jiyan were not without some acquaintance.

Sheng Jianan’s indifference to others stemmed from his inherent pride and his habit of standing in a high position since childhood, but Shen Jiyan was different. He genuinely did not care about anything or anyone unrelated to him, and what determined that "relationship" was up to him.

Clearly, in Shen Jiyan’s eyes, Shen Yao had nothing to do with him.

Tang Yanqi continued: "Having understood his character, I also believe what he told me. If he wasn’t protecting Shen Yao, then indeed, he found nothing. Shen Jiyan is not an ordinary person. The fact that he found absolutely nothing... in B City, who has such great power to hide it so well? Only one person."

Tang Yanqi’s eyes still quietly looked at Sheng Jianan, but he dared not meet her gaze.

She knew everything; though she might lack evidence, she knew everything. She knew her mother once wanted to kill her, she knew her mother’s cruel nature, she knew it all. Yet despite this, she still came back to be by his side. How foolish was this woman?
