Chapter 1062: Wrong Medicine
Once Xia Xibei asked her question, Huo Zijun looked upset.
“I had an appointment with Sister Hong earlier to discuss the company’s affairs. After that, we each started to go home. However, a car suddenly rushed out and hit Sister Hong!”
Thinking of the scene, Huo Zijun’s breathing changed. His face was pale and his expression terrified.
“The car came very fast. It was going wild, and there was no control at all! Sister Hong could not dodge it. I was a bit far from her, so there was no way to stop the car! After we stopped the car, we saw that the driver had drank a lot!”
The man’s situation looked like a DUI, but Huo Zijun didn’t believe things were really that simple.
“Drunk driving?”
The same thought occurred to Huo Zijun, Qiao Yanjue, and Xia Xibei, their expressions equally hard.
Drunk driving was not so bad as to hit someone so hard that their state was like this!
“What about now?” Xia Xibei asked again.
Qiao Yanjue’s expression was cold, his voice even colder. “The driver sobered up and explained that he drank too much and took Sister Hong as his cheating wife. That was why he wanted to kill her.”
“It’s that simple?” Xia Xibei sneered.
“Of course it can’t be that simple,” Qiao Yanjue shook his head. “I’ve already asked someone to investigate. There should be results soon.”
Although that driver confessed to all the incriminating evidence, this matter was not something he could just get past if he wanted to.
Although he was definitely responsible for all of it, things were not that simple.
The place where Liu Manhong and Huo Zijun met was not on the street. Who would go there specifically to make a move on her? And try to hit her to death?
If there wasn’t a speed buffer there, Sister Hong would have died.
Qiao Yanjue couldn’t give up until this matter was clearly investigated.
“Yes, we need to investigate it properly!” Xia Xibei nodded.
“Okay, leave things to me. You can go get some rest.”
“Well, I’ll write the prescription first.”
Xia Xibei braced herself to send the prescription to Huo Zijun.
Looking at Xia Xibei’s pale little face, Qiao Yanjue was heartbroken and picked her up.
“I’ll take you back to rest.”
Huo Zijun nodded, “Yes, you guys go back first, I’ll keep watch here. If anything happens, I’ll call you.”
Xia Xibei nodded and leaned wearily into Qiao Yanjue’s arms.
“Okay, I’ll trouble you then.”
“Don’t say that,” Huo Zijun shook his head. “If I hadn’t asked Sister Hong to meet, she wouldn’t have met this kind of disaster.”
“Don’t say that either,” Xia Xibei shook her head. “There’s nothing you could have done about it.”
“All right, let’s not talk about that,” Qiao Yanjue interrupted them. “I’ll take her back to rest first.”
“Okay, go.”
When they left, Huo Zijun asked someone to get the medicine.
Xia Xibei wrote this list clearly, and it was obvious what to do.
Only, when the herbs were grabbed, he suddenly frowned.
“Wait a minute.”
The person who brought the herbs over was a little confused, “What’s wrong?”
“Show me the herbs again.”
Huo Zijun examined the herbs once, and his expression was very ugly.
There were two herbs that were wrong, but if you didn’t look carefully, you would get mixed up.
Although they looked similar, the medicinal effects were very different!
If they made the medicinal concoction as is, they could only imagine the result!
Huo Zijun’s heart was beating wildly, and his face turned white.
He gritted his teeth, “Get me the person who collected the herbs before! I need to figure it out!”
Because of this matter, he was now suspicious of the IV drip that Liu Manhong was going to take later.
Who wanted to kill her this bad?
