Chapter 240: Chapter 240 The Secret of the Si Family! 1
Song Tengfei was released from the police station for two main reasons. Firstly, the Song Family adamantly denied his involvement in Si Yao’s murder. Secondly, Mo Yinhe believed that since they couldn’t catch Song Tengfei red-handed, it was better to let the tiger return to the mountain and create his own downfall.
Mingjing had been administering acupuncture to him for nearly three months. Since he was almost fully recovered, he naturally had to return to Undersea World. To do so, he had to take her with him. But before that, the Song Family had to be destroyed!
After leaving the police station, Song Tengfei’s every move was under Mo Yinhe’s surveillance.
As expected, Song Tengfei did not disappoint. Immediately upon his release from prison, he sought to harm Mo Yinhe’s Mingjing by contacting a truck driver, intending to stage a severe car accident. HEH... Then Mo Yinhe would grant him his wish!
Tonight, Mo Yinhe had already kidnapped Song Tengfei and left him in the Ye Family’s car. If the truck driver dared to crash into the Ye Family’s car, Song Tengfei would die on the spot! This was the end Mo Yinhe had in store for Song Tengfei.
But now, Mingjing had noticed something amiss and might want to gather evidence to put Song Tengfei back in prison.
Faced with the options of letting Song Tengfei die or sending him to prison, Mo Yinhe laid them out for Si Mingjing to choose.
Si Mingjing knew Song Tengfei wanted to target her, but she never imagined he planned to stage a car accident to kill her, making it look like an accident.
So ruthless! So vicious!
Si Mingjing furrowed her brows, pondering for a long while. "I don’t want him dead," she said. "I want him to live a life worse than death! We’ll do it my way, but Lin Xiansi..."
Lin Xiansi leaving the Lin Family now meant she was walking straight into a death trap! Although Lin Xiansi was harsh and arrogant, if she really died, the Lin Family would still sympathize with her, even if they felt she had brought it upon herself. They were family, after all. As the saying goes, even when bones break, the tendons still connect. Eventually, they might even blame her.
Mo Yinhe saw her concerns and, putting his arm around her shoulder, said, "Don’t worry, I have my plans. That woman needs a lesson; it’s about time she got one."
With Mo Yinhe’s assurance, Si Mingjing felt relieved.
But moments later, Lin Hanfeng received a call. "Sir, something terrible has happened!" the voice on the other end exclaimed. "The Young Miss’s car has been hit by a large truck..."
"What did you say?" Lin Hanfeng demanded.
"The entire car was sent flying by an out-of-control large truck..." the voice continued.
Lin Hanfeng’s expression turned icy. "And Xiansi?"
"After the car was hit, it was crushed under the overturned truck. The car is completely flattened!"
Lin Hanfeng’s expression changed drastically. "Prepare the car!"
Madam Lin, standing by Lin Hanfeng’s side, noticed his awful expression and asked softly, "Hanfeng, what’s the matter?"
His face ashen, Lin Hanfeng said, "There’s been a car accident."
Everyone present heard Lin Hanfeng’s voice.
The whole group got into cars and rushed to the accident scene.
The accident scene was only a few streets away from the Lin Family’s estate. It was a horrific sight.
The large truck was overturned, completely crushing the Ye Family’s car beneath it. Onlookers were saying that anyone in the car trapped under the truck was surely dead.
Ye Siyuan got out of the car and went straight to Si Mingjing, hugging her tightly. Her voice trembled as she said, "Mingjing, the person under there... it was almost you."
Si Mingjing patted the back of Ye Siyuan’s hand. "I’m fine."
"But I’m still scared! How can the Huo Family be so malicious? You and Lin Xiansi don’t have such a deep feud!"
Ye Siyuan’s face turned pale.
If Mingjing had not sensed Lin Xiansi’s excessive enthusiasm tonight, she would have been the one involved in the car accident.
Si Mingjing laughed inwardly. The ones who truly wanted me dead weren’t the Huo Family, but my so-called father.
The Lin Family stood at the scene of the car accident, completely at a loss and filled with regret.
They absolutely should not have let Lin Xiansi take a car from the Lin Family estate. If only they had known how serious it would be, they would never have allowed her to leave by car, even if she had become arrogant and developed malicious intentions. After all, she was a girl of the Lin Family.
Old Mrs. Lin’s legs went weak, and she muttered, "What are we to do? How can I explain this to Xiansi’s parents? Someone could die because of this!"
At that moment, Old Mrs. Lin couldn’t even consider what would have happened if Si Mingjing, rather than Lin Xiansi, had been in the car, or the terrible fate Si Mingjing would have met.
Old Mrs. Lin blamed Lin Hanfeng, "You knew it was dangerous, yet you let Xiansi leave. She begged you at the time, but you were indifferent. Now look what’s happened! What do we do now?"
How could Lin Hanfeng have known things would turn this serious?
Old Mrs. Lin continued to scold, "Now that a life might be lost, won’t Xiansi’s parents hate us for the rest of their lives?"
Si Mingjing furrowed her brows and looked at Mo Yinhe. "Didn’t you say this wouldn’t result in loss of life?"
She knew that if something truly happened to Lin Xiansi, she would become the sinner of the Lin Family. Compared to someone’s death, all other conflicts were insignificant.
Mo Yinhe remained silent, his expression arrogant.
Just then, a car slowly approached.
Lin Xiansi, unharmed, emerged from the car. She couldn’t stand steadily; she was pale with fright, her legs trembling, and she burst into loud sobs.
"Xiansi! It’s Xiansi! She’s not dead?"
After the shock, Old Mrs. Lin was overjoyed.
Old Mrs. Lin strode over and hugged Lin Xiansi. "Xiansi, are you all right? Thank goodness, thank heavens!"
Lin Hanfeng, still shaken, also breathed a sigh of relief. "What happened?"
The Lin Family’s bodyguard explained, "Sir, we hadn’t even left the estate when the Ye Family’s driver brought the Young Miss to our car.
"The Ye Family’s driver also got into our car. Then, they placed two dressed mannequins inside the Ye family car and activated its self-driving mode...
"Fortunately, it was in self-driving mode; otherwise, the Young Miss might have... The car currently crushed beneath the truck is actually empty."
Lin Hanfeng suddenly understood.
So that’s what happened! What a stroke of luck! Otherwise, two lives would have been lost!
Only then did Lin Hanfeng realize what could have happened if Si Mingjing had been in the car. He flew into a rage, fiercely scolding Lin Xiansi, "Miss Si saved my wife, and you wanted her dead?"
"No, that’s not it, I really didn’t mean to..."
Lin Xiansi was terrified, crying and trembling all over.
She had been in the other car, watching with her own eyes as the out-of-control large truck slammed into the Ye Family’s car, sending it flying before the truck itself overturned and crushed it. It had been terrifying!
"My husband only said he wanted to help me teach Si Mingjing a lesson, but he never said he wanted her dead!
"No matter how much I hold a grudge, I never thought of killing Si Mingjing! I don’t have that deep a feud with her!"
"Enough!" Lin Hanfeng snapped. "Go explain yourself to the police!"
Lin Hanfeng didn’t want to hear Lin Xiansi’s explanations any longer.
He approached Ye Xinguang and Ye Junqing, feeling utterly ashamed. "Ye Junqing," he said, "this matter has escalated beyond a mere scuffle. This is murder!
"I will report this to the police immediately. For the Lin Family to have produced such a junior who disgraces our name... I don’t even know how to begin to apologize."
