Sister-in-law comes for treatment

Chapter 1019 I hope you'll stick to your guns.

Wang Tiezhu paused, his expression hardening slightly. After a moment's thought, he said, "What you said makes sense. Let's wait a little longer."

When the commotion outside first came, his first thought was that Fan Shuang and Chen Kai had made their move.

He was genuinely eager to see what the situation was like and wanted to know how Fan Shuang and Chen Kai would act, given the tight timeframe and extremely limited information available for this operation.

He even imagined himself as the killer from the Accident Gate, racking his brains to try to design an accidental murder scene, but after thinking hard all night, he still had no clue.

Therefore, he was extremely curious about how these two had managed to create this unexpected situation. But since Liu Xiafei had already put it that way, he really couldn't refuse.

Liu Xiafei was extremely anxious, her eyes constantly darting between her phone screen and her muttering, "They should have arrived long ago, why haven't they shown up yet?"

Wang Tiezhu shook his head helplessly, forcing a smile as he said, "How would I know? But I know in my heart that you sincerely want to lend me money, so I'll just wait here patiently. I believe the money will arrive soon."

Liu Xiafei grew increasingly anxious, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. After a moment, she said, "No, I have to make a call and ask." With that, she hurriedly walked to the wall, took out her phone, and dialed back the number that had called earlier.

A mechanical, cold voice quickly came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Sorry! The subscriber you dialed is powered off."

On the street, a cell phone with a shattered screen and severely deformed body lay quietly under the curb. Occasionally, passersby would glance at it and shake their heads and sigh, "Tsk tsk tsk, the phone is in such a terrible state, the person is probably in grave danger."

The companion next to him nodded in agreement, echoing, "It's been so long, and that driver still hasn't made a move. He's probably beyond saving. Sigh, why drive so fast? Now look what's happened..."

Liu Xiafei hung up the phone, her brows furrowed tightly as if in a knot, and stood against the wall, deep in thought.

What exactly happened? Could it be a disposable phone card?

Or did the phone run out of battery and shut down automatically? She thought and thought, but still couldn't figure it out.

Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of Wang Tiezhu casting a probing glance at her from afar, and her heart immediately clenched with conflict, wondering whether she should call Sister Lan.

Every time she called Sister Lan, she had to go through a fierce internal struggle. Unless absolutely necessary, she would never dial that number.

But the thought of not being able to explain to Wang Tiezhu why the money hadn't been delivered made her steel her heart, grit her teeth, and finally dialed Sister Lan's number.

After a few long beeps, Lan Jie's slightly annoyed voice came through the phone: "Why are you calling again? I sent you on a mission, why are you making such a fuss?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiafei's first thought was to hang up the phone immediately. She had come to carry out the mission, and Sister Lan had promised to deliver the money, but there was still no sign of it. She called to inquire, and was met with such disdain. But she could only think this to herself; her life was in Sister Lan's hands.

She took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Sister Lan, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. But the money still hasn't been delivered."

On the balcony of a villa facing the sea, the windows were wide open.

Warm sunlight streamed freely into the balcony, illuminating the entire space. (Orchid)

She was wearing a light, thin nightgown, her skin as white as jade, like mutton fat.

She held her phone in one hand and leaned against the window with the other, her back slightly bent. A gentle sea breeze blew by, ruffling her hair, the ends brushing lightly against the man's face behind her.

Hearing Liu Xiafei's response, she quickly turned around and glared angrily at the man. The man, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately stopped what he was doing.

Sister Lan then continued speaking into the phone: "Sorry my foot! If you're sorry, they still called, didn't they? Didn't I already tell you? The person who's sending money will contact you first!"

Liu Xiafei frowned even more and said aggrievedly, "Sister, the person who delivered the money did contact me and said he would be here soon, but it's been a long time, well past the time he said, and I still haven't seen a trace of him."

I called them, but their phone was switched off, so I had no choice but to call you.

Sister Lan frowned and muttered to herself, "How could this be? It's only a little over a million yuan. He wouldn't run away with the money, would he?"

Liu Xiafei didn't dare to breathe loudly. She dared not express her opinion on this matter casually, lest she say something wrong and get herself into trouble.

Sister Lan was silent for a moment, then turned to the man and instructed, "Go and get my other phone."

The man looked reluctant, yet dared not disobey, and reluctantly left the balcony, returning to the living room. He opened a small red bag, took out a cell phone slightly larger and thicker than a regular phone, and hurriedly returned to Sister Lan, handing it to her and saying, "Here you go."

Sister Lan took the phone and said to the man, "You can continue."

After saying that, she opened her phone, tapped on a number, and a map appeared on the screen. She zoomed in on the map, eventually finding her location on the street of Muyang Town.

With one hand on the window and the other holding her phone, she said, "It's on the street in Muyang Town, about four or five meters to the left of the entrance to the farmers' market. Go and see what's going on."

Right at the door?

Liu Xiafei was startled. Without even hanging up the phone, she ran towards the door.

As she stepped outside, she quickly looked to her left and saw a horrific car accident scene not far away.

A dump truck crashed violently into a black sedan, leaving the front of the car severely dented, as if it had been squeezed by a giant hand. The situation inside the car was blurry and indistinct.

She walked briskly along the roadside toward the accident scene, until she reached it.

The car window was shattered, with glass shards scattered all over the ground. The door was open, and the person inside was slumped over the steering wheel, their face obscured, making it impossible to see their features. However, it was clear that blood was slowly dripping down the steering wheel, one drop, two drops... a steady trickle.

She quickly turned on her phone's camera, cautiously approached the car, took a picture of the driver involved in the accident, and then promptly sent it to Sister Lan.

Then, she held the phone back to her ear and said, "Sister Lan, there was a car accident at the location you mentioned. The driver seems to be dead. I wonder if the person who delivered the money was him."

When Sister Lan saw the photo on her phone, she gritted her teeth, gripped the window frame tightly, and her face changed drastically. After a moment of stunned silence, she said, "It's him! How come he's in another car accident? Quickly check if there's any money in the car!"

Liu Xiafei quickly looked inside the car but couldn't find the suitcase. Her gaze fell on the trunk, which was wide open and completely empty. She hurriedly replied, "There's no money. I didn't see a suitcase in the trunk or inside the car."

"Huh?" Sister Lan's face instantly turned extremely ugly. The first person she sent had an accident. When she learned of the situation, the traffic police had already arrived. Because she was afraid of her identity being exposed, she did not dare to contact them.

This time, Huo Jiang, who was supposed to deliver the money, ran into trouble again, and the money disappeared. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: it seemed that someone had specifically set a trap for Huo Jiang.

The moment this thought crossed her mind, her first suspect was Liu Xiafei.

She roared angrily, "Liu Xiafei, you've got some nerve, daring to play these tricks on me?"

Liu Xiafei was so frightened that her face turned ashen, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. She stammered, "..."

"Sister Lan, what... what are you saying? I've been working diligently on the task, and now I'm just hoping the money will arrive quickly so I can gain Wang Tiezhu's trust and become the accountant for his company. That way, I can control his company's accounts at will."

I've really been trying my best, you...you won't suspect that I killed the person who delivered the money, will you?

Suddenly, Sister Lan turned around abruptly and hysterically yelled at the man, "Get out! Get out of my way! You good-for-nothing! You haven't even completed a single task in all this time!"

The man was verbally abused mercilessly, but he didn't dare utter a sound. He lowered his head meekly and slunk away to his room.

After scolding the man, Sister Lan yelled at Liu Xiafei on the phone, "You little slut, you dare to complain to me? The person who gave you the money only contacted you once, and then something happened. Both times it was a car accident. Don't tell me you don't know anything!"

Liu Xiafei was so frightened that her legs went weak and she could barely stand. Her voice was trembling with tears as she said, "I really don't know, Sister Lan, you have to believe me."

Sister Lan snorted coldly and said, "Still being stubborn, huh?"

Okay, I'm coming right now. I'm going to set up an incense altar for you.

I hope you stay stubborn to the end!
