Chapter 525 - A Pain so Excruciating, Like Death by a Thousand Cuts (1/2)
Then, he continued to ask, “Then what were you doing at that time?”
What was she doing?
She was arguing with that woman, that she hadn’t b.u.mped into the little girl. Wasn;t that why she wasn’t able to save unconscious her mother-in-law in the pa.s.senger seat?
Her heart was once again pierced by a sharp pain.
The police officer’s questions were like a sharp ice-cold blade—the pain she felt in heart was so excruciating, as if she is dying by a thousand cuts!
“At that time, the little girl’s mother came over and said that I knocked down her daughter…” Holding back her sobs, guilt and self-blame that tormented her, she continued, “She wanted me to prove that I didn’t knock down her daughter, so… I wasn’t able to pay attention to the car behind me.”
The police officer paused again.
“Then what happened after that? Didn’t you hear the sound of the collision?”
“Yes.”
“According to the witness, the truck first lost control and crashed into your car. Then, it caught fire and exploded a few minutes later. Is that true?”
“Yes…”
After asking this, the police officer glanced at Shen Lanzhi who was lying on the hospital bed.
Was she the figure that the witness saw escaping from the Maserati at the critical moment?
She turned out to be Mr. s.h.i.+’s mother. From the looks of it, she must have been seriously injured.
“Was there anyone else in the car other than your mother-in-law, Mrs. s.h.i.+?” He continued to ask as he sat down to take notes.
Each question cut her heart, tearing her up from the inside out.
