Chapter 5 Mistakes
At seven o'clock in the evening, Yin Nian returned home.
"Zhicheng, I have something to ask you." Yin Nian shouted towards the bedroom.
After Liang Zhicheng came out, he saw Yin Nian followed by a man in a suit and leather shoes, so he asked, "Who is this?" β
"He's my lawyer." Yin Nian sat down with a solemn face and pointed to the chair opposite.
Liang Zhicheng felt that Yin Nian's mood was a little abnormal, so he didn't ask much and sat down silently.
"Zhicheng, did you go to the hospital the morning before yesterday?" Yin Nian looked directly into Liang Zhicheng's eyes.
"This ......" Liang Zhicheng's face changed slightly, and he twisted twice in the chair.
"Did you sneak into my car and delete that video from the dashcam?" Yin Nian continued to ask.
"I ......" Liang Zhicheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stopped talking.
Yin Nian saw Liang Zhicheng's hesitant expression, his eyes were panicked, and he knew that he was indeed right.
"Tell me, why?" The last three words, Yin Nian almost gritted her teeth and said them, on the way back, she thought of many explanations, but none of them made sense.
Liang Zhicheng lowered his head and was silent.
Yang Yang stood at the door of the bedroom at some point, silently watching everything that happened in the living room.
"Why are you stalking me? Why should I delete the recording? Why pretend you don't know anything?! Yin Nian asked angrily.
"Let's talk about it in private...... Liang Zhicheng looked embarrassed and glanced at Yan Ming.
"Now, in front of my lawyer, explain to me what the hell is going on!"
Liang Zhicheng hesitated, and it wasn't until he sensed that Yin Nian's emotions were about to explode that he finally spoke: "I didn't follow you...... It was Yangyang who sent a message to tell me about it, and when I called you to confirm, you had arrived at the hospital, and you said it was okay and that it would be taken care of, so you hung up the phone, I wanted to help, so I drove to the hospital, and saw your car in the underground garage, and wanted to get something from the car first, and then go up to find you...... Out of curiosity, I watched the footage from the dashcam......"
"And then?"
"I found out that in the video, you-" Liang Zhicheng jumped out almost word by word, "Indeed, you hit the old man." β
"What?!" Yin Nian abruptly stood up from the sofa.
"In the video, you did hit the old man, I thought you were trying to hide the truth, but you forgot to delete the video, at that time, I saw you go downstairs with the police, in a hurry, I didn't have time to think about it, so I deleted the video......"
"You're lying!" Yin Nian pointed at Liang Zhicheng, "Why are you lying?!" β
"I really saw ......"
"How could you see something that didn't happen at all?!"
At this time, Yan Ming, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "I'm sorry, interrupt, Mr. Liang, don't you know that after deleting the video, no matter whether Yin Nian hit someone or not, he can't prove his innocence?" β
"I just wanted to help her, thinking that the old man was dead, thinking that the police were here to find evidence, but in a hurry, I didn't have time to think about it, so I deleted it...... If I had known that things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have deleted it. Liang Zhicheng rubbed his hair vigorously, looking remorseful.
"In other words, are you sure that Yin Nian bumped into the old man in the video?" Yan Ming asked.
"I was very sure at the time, but I'm a little skeptical now, I believe Yin Nian more than the video." Liang Zhicheng glanced at Yin Nian, "So, I think it may be that I was too nervous at the time to see ...... clearly."
"You deleted the footage without seeing it?"
"It's all my fault......"
"That's wrong, it's a bit big." Yan Ming looked at Yin Nian, "So, Ms. Yin, I want to make sure at the end, you really didn't hit anyone, right?" β
"Of course I didn't hit anyone!" Yin Nian looked directly at Yan Ming, "Don't you believe me?" β
"I'm your lawyer, I'll always trust you, that's my raison d'Γͺtre." Yan Ming took a deep breath and said, "Now, since the video has been deleted by your husband by mistake, then next, we have to change our strategy and need to reformulate our action plan." In addition, please don't tell others about the video he saw, it's extremely unfavorable to us, let's treat the video as if it was deleted by Yang Po's children, okay? β
"Yes." Liang Zhicheng preemptively said.
"Okay, it's a little late today, I'll go back and sort out the information, and we'll get in touch tomorrow." Yan Ming got up and walked outside, and after walking a few steps, he looked back at the little boy at the bedroom door, "You are Yangyang, right?" β
Yang Yang silently retreated to the small bedroom, closed the door, and did not give Yan Ming a chance to ask.
Yan Ming shrugged: "It seems that he is a little afraid of life." β
After Yan Ming left, Yin Nian asked Liang Zhicheng: "Say, what's going on?" Why are you lying? β
Liang Zhicheng spread his hands: "What I just said is the truth, I did delete the video in a hurry because I saw the police coming...... As for what was in the video, it may be that I didn't see it clearly, after all, the time was too short......"
Yin Nian stared at her husband, staring at this gentle, empathetic, and one year younger than herself, she knew that Liang Zhicheng had a habit, that is, he would subconsciously scratch his chest when lying, but tonight, he didn't scratch once, intuitively, Yin Nian felt that her husband was not lying, however, she still didn't know anything, so she asked: "After you deleted the video, why did you leave directly and didn't go to me?" β
"I didn't actually leave...... I was in the garage at the time, I saw you arguing with the police, I saw you suddenly driving away, and I saw those two people chasing you behind, everything happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to get out...... Then, you called me and told me that the matter had been taken care of and that you were going to continue the outing, and I didn't want this to affect your itinerary, so I didn't say anything......"
"Then why didn't you say it when you came back?" Yin Nian asked.
"Things are moving so fast, I haven't even figured out what the hell is going on, you found out......" Liang Zhicheng looked at Yin Nian with a frank gaze.
After staring at each other for a moment, Yin Nian took a long breath and slowly leaned back on the sofa: "Now, you have made me miserable." β
Liang Zhicheng sat on the sofa and hugged Yin Nian: "It's all my fault, I'm sorry ......"
The door of the small bedroom opened a crack, and a pair of black and white eyes hid behind the crack in the door, looking at everything outside without blinking.
