Chapter 97: Birthday Celebration, Su Lin’s Extraordinary Treatment!

In the following days, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan spent time accompanying Xia Shiyu to various tourist spots in Zhongjiang.

Despite being just a county-level city, Zhongjiang had plenty of interesting places to visit. After all, it was situated in the Yangtze River Delta region and was quite well-developed.

While Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan, and Xia Shiyu were thoroughly enjoying themselves, Lin Tian was busy investigating the true cause behind Lin Yourong’s traffic accident.

When the police informed him that it was just a traffic accident, he was utterly incredulous: “Impossible, absolutely impossible. My father was definitely murdered, it was murder!!”

Zhao Tiande, looking at Lin Tian’s grief-stricken face, felt somewhat helpless. Lin Yourong was his good friend, and his death in a car accident also pained him. However, the fact remained that Lin Yourong died in a traffic accident.

“Xiao Tian, I personally followed up on this case. The suspicions you raised, I had the officers investigate them. They are all baseless. The driver’s relative indeed works for Su’s Construction, but they were not on good terms.”

“Moreover, recent information about that employee shows that he had no contact with the driver, so the lead you provided is useless. The driver was determined by forensic examination to have had an accident due to drowsy driving.”

Lin Tian looked at Zhao Tiande and shook his head in disbelief: “Uncle Zhao~! This is a premeditated murder, and the mastermind is the boss of Su’s Construction.”

“Xiao Tian, I’ve met Su Zhenguo a few times. He is a pure businessman with a fortune of billions. Do you think he would commit such a self-destructive act?”

“That’s exactly why we have this flawless accident now, Uncle Zhao. I don’t believe that my dad just pressed their site’s neck and then had an accident.”

Zhao Tiande was somewhat speechless: “Xiao Tian, your father was not an ordinary person. When he had an accident, the bureau started investigating immediately.”

“I’m not hiding anything from you. The family of the driver, even their dining and restroom details were thoroughly checked; there’s no possibility of any foul play.”

“I’ve been an old friend of your dad for many years. Do you think I would lie to you about such a matter?”

“As for Su Zhenguo, he indeed was our prime suspect. But he had no motive for the crime. Although your father was pressuring him, the construction site’s paperwork was already signed, and he could have started work without any issues. So, there was no motive for him to commit the crime.”

“Moreover, we investigated him. These past few days, he was in Zhongjiang accompanying his son for college entrance exams, not dealing with affairs in Donghai. So, Xiao Tian, this matter is undoubtedly an accident.”

Lin Tian fell silent. He knew about the close relationship between Zhao Tiande and Lin Yourong. If Lin Yourong was indeed murdered, Zhao Tiande would not stand idly by; he would have definitely tried to find out the truth.

Now that he said so, it was certain that his father had an accident. But, was all this really just an accident? Lin Tian could distinctly feel as if an invisible hand was manipulating him, helplessly watching his father’s demise.

That feeling was unmistakable. With his many years of experience in the business world, he knew there was definitely something wrong with this case. It seemed he would have to investigate on his own.

Zhao Tiande discerned Lin Tian’s thoughts and shook his head: “Xiao Tian, you don’t need to think about investigating this yourself. Come with me to the station later, to my office. I’ll show you the case file. Remember, you can only look at it; you cannot copy or take it away. Understand?”

Lin Tian nodded. He knew that Zhao Tiande was already bending the rules to help him. “Uncle Zhao, I know what to do.”
