“That message was sent by you… you!” Yi Che was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. He suddenly pounced on the cell phone and half of his body leaned out of the wheelchair.

Shi Man retracted her hand and looked away from him. Her eyes were filled with mockery. “Yi Zheng, you can wake up now.”

Yi Long’s mouth fell open in disbelief. He could not understand what was happening in front of him for the time being.

The moment Shi Man finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and looked at Yi Zheng, who was on the bed.

Lu Xiang exclaimed and covered her mouth in shock. “Manman, what are you talking about? What message? Can Yi Zheng hear us?”

Before she could get confirmation from Shi Man, the sound of bedsheets rubbing suddenly came from the bed.

Yi Zheng slowly opened his eyes and nodded at Shi Man with a smile. “My Manman is smart to think of this method to catch this big fish.”

As the big fish in his words, Yi Che was trembling all over. He looked at Yi Zheng with extreme fear. “Brother, you, how did you…”

Before he could ask, he reacted on his own. His surprised expression gradually darkened. “You joined forces to trick me.”

Shi Man smiled and took out a cell phone from his pocket. She swiped the screen a few times and found what she wanted. “Did the person who instructed you to do this use these unfamiliar numbers to text and call you?”

Yi Che’s mind was blank at this moment. The sweat on his forehead kept sliding down, and his lips were as pale as an old illness. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I don’t know about these text messages!” “Manman, Xiao Zheng, what’s going on?” Lu Xiang looked around, but she couldn’t figure it out.

On the other hand, Yi Long could tell a lot from this. With a serious expression, he said in a low voice, “Xiao Che, do you have anything to do with your brother’s injury?”

Yi Che denied it and swallowed nervously. He loosened his collar and said, “Uncle, this has nothing to do with me. I was threatened. I didn’t know that my brother would be injured because of this! It really has nothing to do with me!”

Although Yi Zheng had already woken up, the injuries on his body were not fake. He could only barely sit by the bed now, but his cold eyes did not show any signs of illness. “Yi Che, tell the truth now. I can forgive you on account that you’re my brother.”

Yi Che pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence.

Yi Long tugged at her tie and frowned in frustration. “Xiao Che, what exactly is going on?”

The atmosphere in the ward was tense for a moment, and all eyes were on Yi Che.

Shi Man looked down at his flustered expression, but he was clearly racking his brains to find an excuse to brush it off. She sneered and said, “Uncle Yi, Auntie Lu, let me speak on his behalf.”

She handed Yi Che’s phone to Yi Long and his wife. Her voice was neither loud nor soft as she said word by word, “Yi Che received a call from a stranger not long ago. The person on the other end of the phone must have promised Yi Che something to make him attack Yi Zheng.”

“However, Yi Zheng is vigilant and it’s very difficult to find a chance to attack. Therefore, that mysterious person thought of a way, which is to use Yi Che himself to cause a car accident.”

This time, it was not Shi Man’s turn to explain. Yi Long took over first. “He asked Yi Che to use himself to lure you to save him. He took a photo of the event location of your accident and sent it to Yi Zheng, making him think that something had really happened to you. While he was flustered, he got into a serious car accident.”

Lu Xiang exclaimed and walked up to Yi Che in disbelief. She questioned sternly, “Xiao Che, is this the truth?”

Yi Che kept his head lowered. The veins on the back of his hand bulged. The tension was so strong that his entire arm was trembling.

Shi Man continued to explain calmly, “After the accident, my phone signal was suddenly blocked and 1 couldn’t contact anyone. 1 could only follow the ambulance to the hospital, but Yi Che fell into a coma for unknown reasons and couldn’t be woken up no matter what.”

“So Manman suspected that Yi Che was pretending to be unconscious with the goal of removing him of suspicion.” Yi Zheng glared at him and said slowly, “Yesterday, Manman and I discussed and decided I should pretend to be unconscious for the time being to lure the snake out of its hole.”

Yi Che’s body trembled at the end of his sentence. He closed his eyes in despair and said, “You all guessed it. I was too stupid to believe that the message was sent to me by that person.”

Shi Man sneered and threw the phone back into his arms. “So, can you tell us now? Who instructed you to do all this and gave you advice?”

“I don’t know.” Yi Che closed his eyes and shook his head gently. “He’s always the one who initiates contact with me. He barely answers my calls. I don’t know who he is, but he knows a lot about me.”

“A lot? Including what?” Shi Man caught the main point of his words and continued to ask.

Yi Che’s face turned pale. This time, he refused to speak no matter what..
