The entire family of four, all dead.
Mother Lu broke down imdiately. They rushed to the hospital overnight only to see the corpses one by one.
The explanation given by the police at the ti was that due to weather conditions, a chain-reaction car crash occurred, causing the massive accident.
As for the specific cause of the accident, it was still under investigation.
But they didn’t believe it. They refused to believe that such a massive accident could have been caused solely by the weather, especially since she knew the weather that day—clear skies without rain or fog. How could it be due to the weather?
She searched online for the cause of the accident and found out it wasn’t due to the weather at all, but rather a car that had recklessly crashed, causing the accident.
They waited for the police to give an explanation, but as days went by, they never received any explanation from the police.
Later, she even asked soone to inquire, only to find out that the police had long since categorized it as a weather-related accident.
When she checked online again, any news about the accident that day had disappeared almost completely, leaving only a few irrelevant pieces of information.
She didn’t give up and kept asking around for a long ti.
Finally, a familiar uncle told her that the perpetrator’s father had paid a large sum to smooth things over, letting the culprit go unpunished.
But she was furious!
She hated that just monts before, Han Sheng, who had been discussing college applications with her, had turned into a cold corpse.
She kneeled in front of her uncle’s house for three full days. The uncle, unable to bear it any longer, finally revealed the identity of the perpetrator—Qiao Mo.
And it was her father who had suppressed the whole matter and even turned things upside down, allowing her to walk away scot-free.
So, later on, instead of going to Han Sheng’s school, she took an extra year to prepare and waited over a year until Qiao Mo took the college entrance exams. Finally, she applied to the sa school and major and beca friends with her.
Qiao Mo’s eyes were exceptionally moist as she softly spoke, "I’m sorry... about what happened back then..."
"Sorry?" Yu Qianxun interrupted with a laugh, her face twisted in rage: "Does a single ’sorry’ bring back four lives? Does a ’sorry’ redeem your cris! Does a ’sorry’ ease the pain that’s gnawed at all these years?!"
Qiao Mo opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end, said nothing.
She was right; no matter what she said now, it couldn’t undo the damage done back then.
Even if it wasn’t what she had wished for, even if the car had been tampered with by Yang Peiyun, even if it was because Qiao Yun had slipped sothing into her food.
But no matter how she tried to excuse it, she was the one driving, and she was the one causing the accident, making her the most direct culprit.
"So the photo I accidentally saw in the dormitory was of Han Sheng, wasn’t it?" Qiao Mo asked softly.
She rembered the flash of panic in Yu Qianxun’s eyes back then, and she even recalled seeing a glimpse of malignant hatred in them.
At the ti, she thought she was just seeing things, but it turned out to be true.
She rembered asking Yu Qianxun if she was in love.
Yu Qianxun explained it was an older brother she was close to when younger, who moved away, losing contact with her.
Thinking back, that person must have been Han Sheng.
They hadn’t really lost contact; because of the accident, they were separated by the realm of life and death, never to be together again.
"Yes, it’s Han Sheng! My brother Han Sheng. For so many years, I’ve been able to hold on only by clinging to his photograph, enduring day by day. Do you even know what I’ve been through all these years!"
