Chapter 1245 - 833: The Only Reasonable Member of the Pu Family

Su Xiaomeng was still somewhat confused, looking at Chi Lun with an expression full of doubt and uncertainty.

"In the story, a woman creates a car accident to get a married man, causing herself to be hit by the man’s car and breaking her leg. This creates an opportunity for them to meet. The woman doesn’t ask the man for any compensation, but only asks him to agree to one condition."

"What condition?"

"To visit her once a week and take her out for a wheelchair ride."

"...That simple?"

"That simple. The man’s car insurance had just expired, and with the high damages from the accident, he chose to agree to the woman’s condition."

Chi Lun explained the story written by a detective novelist to Su Xiaomeng.

Within a few words, Su Xiaomeng was already deeply engrossed.

"Just one week, two weeks... The man’s wife initially didn’t feel anything was wrong, visiting the woman once a week to offset the high compensation fees seemed reasonable. However, as time went on, she started noticing something amiss, the visits suddenly turned to twice a week, then from an afternoon to all day, sometimes the whole night..."

"Hmm... did the man fall for that woman?"

Su Xiaomeng hurriedly guessed.

"No, it was because the man felt increasingly guilty, sympathizing and feeling pity for the woman, while also blaming himself for wrecking someone’s life with his recklessness."

"..."

"The woman never blamed the man, instead repeatedly expressing gratitude that he took time to accompany her as a disabled person."

"If you hadn’t mentioned the woman engineered the car crash, I too would have thought she was a kind and generous person."

Su Xiaomeng muttered, "And then? There must be more..."

"The man felt his guilt grow unbearable, thinking one or two outings a week wasn’t enough to make up for her, so he brought the woman home."

"..." Su Xiaomeng widened her eyes, ’absurdity’ written large across her face!

"The man had a big fight with his wife, who took their child and returned to her family. On the way, they had an accident, both mother and son perished."

Chi Lun finished speaking and shrugged.

Su Xiaomeng quickly turned to Chi Lun, "What? Was that really an unfortunate accident, or was the woman..."

She couldn’t complete her sentence, her spine chilled with fear at the thought.

"The story ends there, no sequel."

"No way... which story ends with no resolution?"

"Teacher Su, many things in this world end incomplete. Many cases never uncover the truth. Crimes committed by high intelligence are far harder to solve than ordinary ones."

Only after Chi Lun explained did Su Xiaomeng faintly understand... what Chi Lun was trying to convey.

Making such a big point, Chi Lun was subtly hinting after all, the Pu Wei family were all professors, which meant they belong to high intelligence. If evidence could be easily found to solve the case, then it wouldn’t be considered high intelligence.

"In the story, that mother and son tragically died, maybe due to an accident, or maybe due to the man’s relaxation and being duped by the woman’s compassion."

"..."

Chi Lun’s story revolved in Su Xiaomeng’s mind, much later, she truly believed, the story Chi Lun read wasn’t merely a detective’s fabrication.

Events in the real world are often more vivid, dramatic, and... subversive than concocted stories.

After Xiao Meng finished her last class of the day, she received a call from Yin Shixiu, saying Pu Wei had awakened.

Bai Sidong had already sent two officers to the hospital to take Pu Wei’s statement and record. Bai Sidong couldn’t leave due to official duties, while Yin Shixiu was conducting a board meeting at Yin Family, which hadn’t concluded, so he asked Su Xiaomeng to check the situation.

Xiao Meng arrived at the hospital but encountered Xiao Yan before reaching Pu Wei’s ward.

Given the previous day’s unpleasant farewell, Su Xiaomeng looked at Xiao Yan with a disdainful expression, yet she had to speak,

"Pu Wei woke up?"

"Yes, Pu Wei woke up."

"Didn’t you say she might have severe aftermath and might not wake up?"
