"It wasn't me." Mason Nightshade denied her suspicion before she could even ask.

His face was dark, and his eyes were fixed on her, seeming to reproach her.

Aurelia Shaw smiled helplessly.

Why does it feel like she's bullying him?

Come to think of it, it was a bit like that. He saved her yet got wrongly accused; anyone would feel frustrated.

"I wasn't doubting you."

Aurelia pushed Mason aside and got out of the car, quickly walking to the driver's seat to check on Uncle Wu's condition.

Mason initially wanted her to stay in the car.

Seeing her crouched by the driver's seat, checking on the person inside, he closed his mouth that had opened, thinking: This girl, no matter how cold she pretends to be, she still cares about others when it matters.

"Mason, call an ambulance over."

Uncle Wu's condition was worse than hers. Sitting in the back, she wasn't hurt as badly, but it was different for Uncle Wu, who took a direct hit.

He was conscious, but there was a lot of blood flowing from his head. If it weren't for the airbag, it could have been disastrous.

Aurelia did some basic first aid for Uncle Wu, stopping the bleeding first.

Now they just had to wait for the ambulance to arrive.

"Miss," Uncle Wu spoke with difficulty, his eyes showing an apologetic look.

"Don't speak." Aurelia gave him a reassuring smile, "It's good that everyone is okay. The ambulance will be here soon."

Uncle Wu nodded.

After sending Uncle Wu to the hospital and settling everything, Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief and gave her statement to the detective.

"Were the brakes intentionally sabotaged?" Aurelia asked.

The young detective pondered for a moment and said, "There are indeed signs of intentional damage. Does Miss Shaw recall offending anyone?"

Offending someone?

Well, she had offended quite a few people, and even if she hadn't, there were plenty who wanted her dead.

Mason silently appeared behind her, forming a tall wall, as if sheltering her under his wing without even trying.

The young detective shivered slightly, thinking: The aura around Mr. Nightshade is too strong, it's overwhelming. Didn't they say the two of them were divorced? What's going on now...

He wasn't in the mood for gossip, and under the intense gaze, he asked a few useful questions before hurrying away.

The less he knew as a minor employee, the better, but it's crazy how messy the wealthy circles are, to the point of orchestrating an accidental murder.

"Have you thought of who might have done it?" Mason's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

Aurelia was startled, turned around, and realized they were so close, instinctively took a step back, and thought about Mason's question... She bowed her head, pondering silently.

Who?

Aurelia shook her head, "No specific suspect, but it's likely not the same people as last time. This method is clever, but only cunning, and prone to unexpected failures."

The previous group didn't have such possibilities.

They orchestrated an accident and then quickly kidnapped her, which was clearly organized, disciplined, and planned.

This time it seemed much more amateur.

Mason made a low "hmm" from his throat, squinting his deep eyes, not telling her that when he arrived, he noticed a car was tailing hers.

If he hadn't arrived in time, that car would have made a move on hers at the curve, making it seem like an accident.

He was in a rush to save her at the time and didn't pay attention to that car, allowing it to escape.

"If I hadn't arrived in time, were you planning to jump out of the car?" Mason looked down at her, recalling when he arrived, seeing her with half her body already out of the car.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had been a moment late.
