Chapter 215 The Truth Behind the Car Accident
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen's hands clenched tightly, and he fell into deep thought—could it be his political enemy?
He turned to look at Shen's mother: "You stay here and take care of Lili, I'm going out for a bit."
Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Not long after Shen's father left, Shen Li's grandmother arrived with her youngest son.
The two walked hurriedly, and as soon as they entered the room, they looked eagerly at Shen Li on the bed.
"How is it?" Grandma Shen quickly walked to the bedside and sat down. Her face, which had been somewhat stern, was now filled with worry.
Shen Li gently comforted her, "It's alright, Grandma, don't worry."
At this moment, Grandpa Yu was staring blankly at Grandma Shen, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Time flies, and we've all grown so old, yet those past events remain as clear as if they happened yesterday.
Shen Li took in Grandpa Yu's expression and repeated herself with emphasis, "I'm really fine, Grandma, don't worry."
The younger uncle chimed in, "Focus on recovering. Leave everything else to us."
Shen Li obediently replied, "Okay."
Grandma Shen gave her a few more detailed instructions. Fearing that she might get emotional and hurt herself, Shen's mother quickly helped her to sit down on a chair nearby.
Grandma Shen didn't even notice Grandpa Yu when she walked past him.
Only after sitting down and glancing around did she notice the unfamiliar elderly man and ask in confusion, "Who is this?"
Shen Li's room is separate. When Grandma Shen came in, she only paid attention to her granddaughter. Only now did she realize that there was an unfamiliar person in the room, and she couldn't help but be a little curious.
Shen Li thought to herself: Good heavens, just because she looked somewhat like Grandma Shen, Grandpa Yu insisted on recognizing her as his goddaughter. Later, when he saw her wearing Grandma Shen's necklace, he gave her all his valuables.
The result was quite unexpected; Grandma didn't even recognize Grandpa Yu.
Anyone would be furious in this situation.
Grandpa Yu's face instantly dimmed, and his voice trembled with hesitation: "Sister Muyun, don't you remember me?"
The moment the name "Sister Muyun" was uttered, Grandma Shen's thoughts were instantly transported back decades.
There's only one person in her life who can call her that.
"You are... Xiao Dong?"
Grandpa Yu nodded emphatically: "Yes, it's me."
"You're in the capital too!" Grandma Shen exclaimed, unable to hide her surprise.
"Yes, it's always been here," Grandpa Yu replied.
"That's such a pity. We haven't met even once in all these years," Grandma Shen said with emotion.
Grandpa Yu sighed softly, "Yes."
Grandma Shen suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Xiao Li has recognized me as her grandfather," Grandpa Yu replied.
Grandma Shen was stunned. She turned to look at Shen Li, her eyes filled with "What on earth is going on?"
Shen Li also got anxious and secretly glared at Grandpa Yu: "Seriously? Why did you only say half of what you meant? You brought this up yourself, shouldn't you explain it clearly yourself?"
At this moment, Shen Li suddenly felt that Grandpa Yu might have had ulterior motives in insisting that she recognize him as her grandfather.
Seeing this, Shen's mother quickly tried to smooth things over: "Lili, you rest well, Mom will explain to Grandma." Then she explained the whole story in detail.
Meanwhile, the Ming family's old house was in complete disarray.
Ming Xiangyang smashed everything he could in the old house. A person lay on the ground, breathing weakly, barely taking a breath. The servants were terrified and huddled to one side, not daring to make a sound.
Just then, Grandpa Ming rushed back with his family members who were away.
As soon as Uncle Ming entered the room and saw his youngest son lying on the floor, his eyes turned red, and he roared, "Ming Xiangyang, are you trying to rebel?!"
Aunt Ming was out shopping and returned a little earlier than Uncle Ming.
She was also injured, and when she saw her husband return, she immediately rushed forward, clutching her wounds and crying, "Husband, Dad, that bastard Ming Xiangyang has gone completely mad! Look at what he's done to Qihua!"
Seeing his son on the verge of death, Uncle Ming suppressed his anger and said to Ming Xiangyang, "Xiangyang, can't brothers talk things out? Why do you have to resort to such violence?"
Ming Xiangyang suddenly sneered: "I'm ruthless? Don't be so hasty. You won't think I'm ruthless in a moment. You might even regret that I didn't cripple him."
Old Master Ming said in a deep voice, "Speak, what exactly happened?"
He knew Ming Xiangyang's personality; he wasn't the type to cause trouble for no reason. For him to get so angry, something serious must have happened.
Hearing his grandfather's voice, Ming Qihua, lying on the ground, used his last bit of strength to shout, "Grandpa, save me! Ming Xiangyang has gone mad!"
Ming Xiangyang looked coldly at Old Master Ming and said, word by word, "He ordered someone to run over Shen Li with a car."
"What?" Old Master Ming's expression changed drastically.
Ming Qihua quickly denied it: "Grandpa, I didn't!"
He was calculating in his mind. The driver still needed him to make a living, so he certainly wouldn't betray him. As long as he denied it to the death, no one could do anything to him.
Seeing this, Ming Xiangyang's smile grew even colder: "You think he'll help you cover it up just because he relies on you for a living? You're probably underestimating Uncle Shen's abilities."
Uncle Ming frowned and asked疑惑地问道, "Who is Shen Li?"
Seeing that some people were unaware of the situation, Ming Qihua immediately shifted the blame: "It's all because of him! If he didn't like that woman, why would I have someone hit her? It's all his fault!"
Ming Xiangyang raised his leg and kicked him, but he held back a little force—this good-for-nothing still had to go to prison to be punished, he couldn't afford to collapse now.
He turned to look at Uncle Ming, his tone icy: "It doesn't matter if Uncle doesn't know Shen Li, you must know her father."
"Who is her father?" Uncle Ming pressed.
Ming Xiangyang said clearly, word by word, "Central Committee member, Shen Zhenhua."
With a deafening roar, Uncle Ming was struck dumb, staggering back two steps before abruptly crouching down, grabbing Ming Qihua by the collar, his eyes bloodshot: "Who told you to touch her! Who gave you the guts!"
Ming Qihua trembled with fear and stammered, "It's...it's all because Ming Xiangyang has been bullying me. I just wanted to get revenge..."
Ming Xiangyang's eyes flashed with malice as he looked at Ming Qihua as if he were a clown: "You didn't actually think I liked Shen Li, did you? I just wanted to use the Shen family's power. You idiot, how dare you lay a hand on her! Now look what's happened, you've dragged the Ming family into the abyss without me even lifting a finger. The Ming family has been ruined by your own actions, it's actually quite satisfying!"
Old Master Ming was so angry that he trembled all over, his face turned ashen, and his lips quivered, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Just then, the maid at the door led in several policemen and asked in a deep voice, "Which one of you is Ming Qihua?"
