The colleague explained, “All the bones in the victim’s body have been crushed… Well… when we cleaned up the scene, several of our comrades were scared out of their wits. If you want to confirm her identity, I’ll call my colleagues at the station and get a photo for you through the license plate. It can be confirmed that way.”
Chu He rubbed her forehead as the ominous feeling in her heart grew. Walking out of the morgue, she noted that the noisy situation had not subsided. Gu Jinglian stood out in the crowd like an ice sculpture, his expression unchanged.
Looking anxious, Butler Fu came up to her and asked, “How did it go? Did you recognize her?”
Chu He replied, “The deceased was seriously injured, it’s beyond recognition.”
Butler Fu nodded and said, “Yes… I witnessed the accident. It was indeed very serious.”
Chu He’s colleague contacted the police station and found out that the driver’s license had been traced through the car license plate and household registration information.
“Chu He, we’ve found the information. There were three people in the car, two men and one woman. The man in the driver’s seat is Bai Tianmin, and the woman in the front passenger seat is Jiang Xiaoqian – they’re a married couple. The man in the back seat was Bai Wanhao, Bai Tianmin’s younger brother. It is known that Jiang Xiaoqian was pregnant, and before this, they had another daughter called Bai Sheng.”
“…Bai Sheng…”
“So… is this the person you’re looking for?”
“I think… yes.” Chu He asked, “Can you show me the identity photo that was found on the deceased?” For the sake of clarity and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Chu He would rather err on the side of caution
“Alright, give me a moment.”
Soon, a photo was sent over from the police station. Chu He took a look at it and was stunned. It was really Sheng’er’s mother…
Given this, there was little room for doubt. Sheng’er had also mentioned before that Jiang Xiaoqian was pregnant with a second child. Now, the license plate and household registration information were completely compatible. In addition, the same white Mercedes-Benz, the same pregnant woman, and even the photo was exactly the same…
Chu He asked skeptically, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure. There can’t be any mistake there…”
Chu He’s eyes darkened, she did not expect this to happen to Sheng’er! At this moment, Sheng’er was probably still hugging Baby Chu and the two were probably sound asleep!
No one would have expected that in a matter of a night, she had been separated from her family forever.
Chu He suddenly felt upset! Even though she did not know Sheng’er’s mother very well, she was very fond of Sheng’er. Every time they picked up Baby Chu from school, she could see that Baby Chu also liked Sheng’er very much. The two little fellows were always reluctant to part.
Sheng’er’s mother also took good care of Baby Chu. Sometimes when she was late to pick up the boy, Sheng’er’s mother would accompany Baby Chu together with Sheng’er. She seemed like an understanding woman.
Since they were both mothers, Chu He had a good impression of Sheng’er’s mother.
Yet now, they’ve been made to part forever. They had only bade each other farewell in the morning, yet now, they’d never met again.
Chu He felt heartbroken for Sheng’er!
How could a child face such a cruel reality?
“Where are the family members of Bai TIanmin and Jiang Xiaoqian?”
“Their family members are all out of town, but they’ve already been notified. They should be on their way here. They’re on the high-speed rail. They’ll probably only be able to come to the hospital tomorrow to settle their funeral arrangements!”
Chu He nodded. “I see…”
