Facing Chen Yu'an's interrogation, An Ya tightly clenched her fists at her sides. She stared fixedly at the man in front of her without saying a word.
Chen Yu'an took a step forward and stood in front of An Ya, looking down at her haughtily. "I'm asking, how did you know that Qing Mian was in a car accident?"
He had suppressed the news of Qing Mian's car accident and specifically told people not to disclose the information of the accident victim. So there was no reason for An Ya to know about it.
As Chen Yu'an spoke, the intense coldness around him bore down on An Ya. The nurse beside them, sensing something was wrong, silently lowered her head.
An Ya's face suddenly changed. She stammered, "A Yu, are you suspecting me now?" After saying that, she pinched hard at the root of her thigh, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Looking at Chen Yu'an innocently with a tear - streaked face, she silently placed her hand on her lower abdomen. Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "How could I possibly do such a cruel thing to Qing Mian?! She's the only aunt of our baby, and yet you suspect me!"
At these words, the coldness on Chen Yu'an's face visibly lessened a bit. He glanced at An Ya's lower abdomen and said nothing more. "Go back. There are many germs in the hospital. It's not suitable for you to stay long."
Seeing that his attitude had softened a lot, An Ya had no intention of staying. There were indeed too many germs in the hospital, which was not good for her baby.
She looked up at Chen Yu'an. "A Yu, will you go home tonight? I specially asked someone to buy perch. I'll cook it for you tonight."
"We'll talk about it tonight." Chen Yu'an was impatient. After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator without any hesitation.
An Ya watched his receding back. Her eyes were full of gloom. She turned her head and glared fiercely at the talkative nurse just now, then turned and walked out of the hospital.
Chen Yu'an returned to the floor where Qing Mian's ward was. Just as he was about to push open the ward door, he paused, took out his phone, and called Tan Si.
The call was quickly answered.
"Sir, I've found out!"
Tan Si's voice was a bit excited.
Chen Yu'an's gaze was solemn. His fingers holding the phone tightened slightly, afraid of hearing the result he had envisioned in his mind.
After Qing Mian was out of the emergency room, he learned from the nurse that there were traces of abuse on Qing Mian's body. According to the scars, it had been at least one to two years, which meant that Qing Mian had been abused during the three years she was in Mexico.
Before he could continue to think, Tan Si's voice rang out again.
"Miss didn't get picked up by Mr. Lawrence after she arrived in Mexico. The person living in the villa wasn't Miss at all!"
Hearing this, Chen Yu'an's pupils suddenly shrank. The temperature around him dropped to freezing point in an instant. His eyes were blood - red.
For these three years, he thought Qing Mian was living a secluded life, but he didn't know that she had been through hell, while the person living in the villa was just a substitute.
Lawrence had betrayed him from the very beginning. For these three years, he had been taking care of someone else, while Qing Mian was nowhere to be found.
Chen Yu'an was so angry that he felt a rush of blood to his head. Coupled with the large amount of blood he had donated just now, the blood in his body rushed backwards at this moment. He was unsteady on his feet and almost fell to the ground. Ji Bai, who had just got out of the elevator, quickly stepped forward and supported him.
"Are you okay, A Yu?" Ji Bai supported him worriedly and let him sit on the nearby lounge chair. He had donated a lot of blood to Qing Mian today. Logically, he should be hospitalized for observation. But he had rushed out to make a phone call not long after leaving the ward. Now seeing his face looking even worse than before, Ji Bai had a bad premonition in his heart.
The call hadn't been hung up yet. Tan Si didn't hear any sound and shouted a few times into the phone. Then Chen Yu'an put the phone back to his ear. "Continue."
"I've found out the identity of the person who replaced Miss. Her name is Xiang Yun. She's 22 years old, 168 cm tall. She used to be in Mexico and just returned to the imperial capital not long ago. She also has a grandfather who has heart disease and is currently being treated in Ruikang Hospital."
The hospital corridor was very quiet. Ji Bai could clearly hear what Tan Si said. Suddenly, the image of the person he saw in the hospital a few days ago flashed through his mind. He suddenly looked at Chen Yu'an and happened to meet his gaze.
Chen Yu'an looked at Ji Bai. With a cold expression, he ordered into the phone, "Find the person for me immediately. Also, check all of An Ya's movements when Qing Mian went to Mexico back then, and how she appeared in the hospital today."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and stared at Ji Bai. "What do you want to say?"
Ji Bai didn't speak immediately. After thinking for a while, he told Chen Yu'an what he saw that day. "I saw a person in the hospital that day who looked very much like Qing Mian."
After Ji Bai finished speaking, there was no surprise on Chen Yu'an's face. He gritted his teeth and then slowly said, "Someone wants to replace Qing Mian."
After Chen Yu'an said this, Ji Bai was stunned for a moment and then immediately denied it. "It's impossible. It's not that easy to replace a person. Even if someone looks very similar, they can never completely replace another person. There will always be flaws."
"Yeah... it's not that easy to replace a person..."
Chen Yu'an murmured. But he had really been deceived for three years, like a fool.
Now that he thought about it, there were clearly so many flaws, but at that time he only thought that Qing Mian was just throwing a tantrum. If he had just asked one more question, he wouldn't have let Qing Mian be abused in Mexico for three years.
Chen Yu'an's heart felt as if it had been dug out and thrown into a juicer. It was numb and he felt nothing but guilt.
Seeing Chen Yu'an in a daze, Ji Bai thought he was sad because of Qing Mian's car accident. He gently patted him on the shoulder. "Qing Mian is out of danger. Don't worry too much. You also need to take care of your own body."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Chen Yu'an suddenly looked up and asked him.
Ji Bai looked at him blankly. "Tell you what?"
"The injuries on Qing Mian's body. Why didn't you tell me?"
Ji Bai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Chen Yu'an was Qing Mian's brother, and he should have told him. But the matter was already in the past, and he didn't want Chen Yu'an to always take the blame on himself. Moreover, Chi Yu was already investigating this matter, so he didn't tell Chen Yu'an.
He looked into Chen Yu'an's eyes and lowered his voice. "Chi Yu is already investigating this matter..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ji Bai said this, Chen Yu'an suddenly burst into laughter. He sneered at Ji Bai. "Where is he now? Qing Mian has had such a big accident. Where is he?"
Facing Chen Yu'an's interrogation, Ji Bai was speechless.
Since Qing Mian got off the operating table, half a day had passed, but he still couldn't get in touch with Chi Yu.
