CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 541: THE ACCIDENT OF THAT YEAR

Mr. Bai had anticipated such an answer, and although there was some regret in his heart, he was not surprised.

Looking at the sincere young man before him, Mr. Bai let out a light sigh, "Regardless, Yuejie is in this condition because of you, and now she may not have much time left. I hope you can come to keep her company more often, and also that you can help to find a compatible heart that can be transplanted into Yuejie."

Upon hearing Mr. Bai’s words, Shi Lingyan’s expression remained calm, speaking gently, "Uncle Bai, I can help to find a suitable heart for Yuejie. As for keeping her company, I will do my best, but I have a lover, and I’m afraid she might get jealous. Moreover, there are many matters to deal with at the company, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to visit often."

"Ling Yan, don’t forget that Yuejie is in this condition entirely because of you. If you hadn’t been careless while answering the phone, how could Yuejie have ended up like this! If she hadn’t caught her breath, we might not even be able to see her now. She’s my only daughter; what does it matter if you promise to come visit her more often!"

Shi Lingyan’s face also turned cold, and he said slowly, "Uncle Bai, I won’t discuss what exactly happened here, but the reason why Bai Yuejie is alive today is because of Tang Wu’s heart. If it weren’t for Tang Wu’s heart extending her life, Bai Yuejie couldn’t possibly have survived to this day."

These words caused Mr. Bai’s face to turn to fury, "What are you saying, do you mean Yuejie deserves to die?"

"I didn’t say that," Shi Lingyan’s expression was indifferent, "but if you wish to understand it that way, then you may think so."

Saying this, Shi Lingyan had already stood up, "I’m going to see her."

"Stop right there!" Mr. Bai angrily stood up, "Don’t you forget that Yuejie needed Tang Wu’s heart because of Tang Wu’s accidental death, which caused her to suffer from a heart attack. Tang Wu’s donation of her heart to Yuejie was completely justified!"

Shi Lingyan paused in his steps, his expression turning icy as his lips formed a tight line, the anger in his heart flaring suddenly.

Turning around unruffled, Mr. Bai saw at one glance the cold indifference plastered across Shi Lingyan’s handsome and lean face.

Mr. Bai was taken aback.

He had never seen Shi Lingyan like this before. At this moment, Shi Lingyan looked at him as if he were an enemy, with only anger, alienation, and... hatred remaining in his eyes.

"Back then, everyone thought Tang Wu’s car accident was just an accident," Shi Lingyan said firmly, looking at Mr. Bai, "including myself. Thus, I never suspected whether there might have been other reasons behind Tang Wu’s death."

Mr. Bai did not know why Shi Lingyan brought this up and after a moment’s shock, he said sternly, "The incident back then was an accident. Haven’t you already investigated thoroughly? Running to the police station day after day, watching so many surveillance videos, checking so many details... You couldn’t find anything back then, and after so many years, what’s the use of bringing this up?"

Shi Lingyan chuckled coldly, "That’s right, nothing could be found back then. Do you know why?"

Mr. Bai watched him with a stern face.

"The car Tang Wu drove leaked oil and exploded. All the dashcam footage and the evidence were burnt to ashes, so nothing could be found. In the end, due to lack of evidence, it was judged an accident."
