Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 127 Perpetrator

Xia Ning presses the answer button. Wan Liqing sounds a little anxious: “Director Xia, Director Gu is away. I just received a call from the Deputy Director of the Urban Construction Bureau who wants a response about Baoer’s problem within today. Or, he would need us to take the responsibility. Director Xia, can you take some time to handle this urgently?”

Xia Ning frowns. It has only been several days since Baoer had the accident. Why the Deputy Director of Urban Construction Bureau is so anxious?

Are there any secrets there?

“OK. I know.” Xia Ning responds and hangs up.

She looks into the patient room and sees that Dai Zhongheng and Baoer are talking sincerely. Since it is urgent, Xia Ning hesitates whether she should go to get clear what happened.

At the time, someone calls from behind: “Hello, Mrs. Yi.”

Xia Ning is shocked. She turns to look and sees Feng Le standing there with a smile. He was going to speak, when Yi Yunrui gives him a clap on his head.

“Are you greeting or scaring her?”

“Commander...” Feng Le strokes his head, “Sorry. I am wrong. I will accept the punishment. Commander, I will run ten circles around the playground after going back.”

Xia Ning smiles. She says to Yi Yunrui: “Well. Le didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t take it as an offence.”

Hearing this, Feng Le nods with expectation.

Yi Yunrui looks at Feng le. He pats on him: “Go to buy some food. Buy those Mrs. Yi likes.”

“Yes, Sir!” As if he is saved, Feng Le runs away quickly.

“Why are you here?” Xia Ning is surprised, “It is not a weekend today.”

“I am going to the Northwest tomorrow. Therefore, I come back to make some preparation. Have you had lunch?”

Xia Ning nods, “No yet, and you?”

“Then, we can have lunch together later.” Yi Yunrui removes the hairs on Xia Ning’s forehead, “Did you have breakfast?”

“Hum.” Xia Ning nods, “Rui, the Deputy Director of the Urban Construction Bureau called and pushed us for a response. Do you find it strange?”

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while, saying: “It is a little strange. Zhongheng and I will leave tomorrow. We will handle this today. Ning, let’s go inside to ask Baoer about the accident.”

Saying this, Yi Yunrui opens the door of the patient room. Dai Zhongheng greets him: “Commander.”

Yi Yunrui nods and glances at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning understands. She asks Li Baoer: “Baoer, how do you feel now?”

“I am much better. Don’t worry.”

Li Baoer responds in a weak voice. Xia Ning’s heart tightens, feeling reluctant to ask about the accident now.

Li Baoer looks at Xia Ning. She can almost guess what she wants. “Is there...anything happening?”

Xia Ning curls her lips. She thinks for a while and says: “Baoer, I know it is not the right time. But it is urgent. Can you tell us what happened in these two days?”

Li Baoer nods: “OK.”

“One moment.” Li Baoer is going to speak when Dai Zhongheng gives her a cup of warm water, “Drink some water first. Take it easy.”

Li Baoer smiles. She drinks a mouthful of water and thinks for a while, saying: “The day before yesterday, I was driving to the Urban Construction Bureau. Something happened to my car. I was not far away from the Urban Construction Bureau, so I wanted to walk there. When I was crossing the road, I saw an old lady and I wanted to help her cross the road. The green light was on. But unexpectedly, a car rushed to us. I pushed the old lady away but I was hit.”

Li Baoer feels Dai Zhongheng holding her hands tightly when he hears this. She smiles and pats on him: “That car hit me and drove away. I was thinking of calling the company, but my phone was broken. I didn’t feel anything wrong except that my clothes were torn with a hole. I went home to deal with the wound and changed my clothes. But I fainted when I got home. When I woke up, it is already the evening. I felt it must be serious. Therefore, I go to the hospital hurriedly. When I arrived at the hospital, I fainted again at the gate.

Dai Zhongheng is so sad that he holds Li Baoer’s hand tightly: “Sorry. It is my fault.”

Li Baoer shakes her head: “It is not your fault. You had to finish your mission. Don’t blame yourself.”

“Do you remember the license number of that car which hit you?” Xia Ning asks.

Li Baoer frowns and thinks for a while, saying: “That car went very fast and I felt dizzy after being hit, so...I did not recognize the license number.”

Xia Ning’s heart tightens. It will be a little complicated without the license number.

“Baoer, where did the accident happen?” Dai Zhongheng asks?

“At the crossing of Guanning Road, right at the crosswalk.”

Dai Zhongheng and Yi Yunrui exchange a look. Yi Yunrui says: “Zhongheng, come with me.”

Dai Zhongheng nods and says to Li Baoer, “Baoer, we will handle this. You have a good rest.”

Li Baoer nods. Dai Zhongheng and Yi Yunrui walk away.

“Ning, anything happened?”

Xia Ning smiles: “Silly, nothing happened. The company wants to know the reason. You have a rest. I may call Director Gu.”

Xia Ning goes out when Li Baoer’s parents and Feng Le are just coming back. Xia Ning briefly tells Li Baoer’s parents about the accident. Li Baoer’s mother is quite angry.

“He hit my daughter and drove away. I gotta skin him if I catch him.”

Xia Ning comforts her: “Auntie, please don’t be angry. We will handle this. There will be a satisfying result.”

Li Baoer’s mother gives a sigh. She holds Xia Ning’s hand, saying: “Ning, you know our condition. We have to rely on you to help Baoer. I owe you a big one. I will repay you in the future.”

“Auntie, what are you talking about. I will take care of this issue until it finishes. Don’t worry.”

Xia Ning comforts Li Baoer’s mother and tells Feng Le: “Le, I am not your commander. I can’t give you any orders. But would you please help to take care of Baoer and her parents?”

“No problem. Mrs. Yi, don’t worry. It is my pleasure.” Feng Le says and turns to go into the patient room.

Yi Yunrui and Dai Zhongheng are talking but they look strange. Xia Ning goes to them: “Why? What’s wrong?”

Yi Yunrui and Dai Zhongheng are silent for a while. Xia Ning is nervous: “Rui, please tell me. Or I will be more nervous...”

“Ning, the traffic police said that the video of the camera about Baoer’s accident had been taken away...”

Xia Ning is shocked: “Taken away? By whom?”

Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning into his embrace: “Don’t worry. Zhongheng and I will take care of this.”
