Dai Wei felt that his judgment was accurate and that his plan was perfect.
If Min Nan and Ye Ling sparked something between them, he would take some credit for it.
After Dai Wei and the others left, the doctor also departed, leaving only Ye Ling and Min Nan in the hospital room. Ye Ling didn't feel uneasy about the situation.
Although Min Nan appeared cold, the fact that he was a police officer made Ye Ling trust him completely.
However, Min Nan felt very uncomfortable.
He regretted it a little. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Dai Wei or another policeman to stay.
Now that he was alone with Ye Ling, Min Nan could not help but think of the scene of intimate contact and the soft touch of Ye Ling's chest.
Min Nan was convinced that he was not a pervert, but at this moment, he felt a shameful thought for the first time in his life about a woman!
Moreover, Min Nan suddenly realized something important, their lips had touched underwater, and that was his first kiss!
"Officer, do you have any questions for me?" Ye Ling asked when she noticed Min Nan holding a notebook, unable to resist initiating the conversation.
Min Nan snapped out of his daze as soon as he saw Ye Ling's clear and beautiful eyes. His heart began to race uncontrollably, prompting him to quickly avert his gaze.
He needed to do something, or he would be embarrassed beyond measure.
Min Nan pondered for a moment, picked up the notebook and pen, and asked, "Why were you at the reed marsh?"
Ye Ling contemplated for a moment, furrowing her brows. "I came out to have fun with my roommate. She suggested visiting the reed marsh. Once we arrived, I suddenly felt extremely tired. So, I found a quiet spot and lay down, intending to take a nap."
Min Nan sensed that something was off. "What about your roommate?"
If Ye Ling's roommate had been present, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
"She said she would buy two candied hawthorns and then come back. We planned to return to the dormitory together," Ye Ling explained. As she recalled Liu Lin's indifferent attitude when she sought help, Ye Ling frowned.
Ye Ling remembered that in her previous life, after being violated by Wu De, Liu Lin didn't return to the reed marsh until it was nearly dark. Liu Lin explained that she accidentally stepped on corn that an old lady was drying, which led to a prolonged argument. The old lady insisted that Liu Lin compensate her before allowing her to leave, causing the delay.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with Liu Lin's explanation. In her previous life, she had never doubted it.
However, after that, Liu Lin advised her not to call the police and even advised her to marry Wu De.
Liu Lin said, "After all, Wu Bai is the captain of the village. You've just arrived in Stone Village, and you'll be staying here for a long time. If you offend Wu De, you'll also offend Wu Bai. Will you be able to live a good life then? Besides, it's already known in the village that you and Wu De have had relations. If you don't marry him, he will continue to cause trouble. If your family finds out, won't it be embarrassing for you to be ridiculed in the city?"
In her previous life, Ye Ling had a weak personality and was completely at a loss when faced with such a situation. Liu Lin's persuasion made her dismiss the idea of reporting it and choose to endure it.
Thinking about it now, Ye Ling gradually started feeling uneasy.
She used to believe that being raped was solely because of Wu De, as well as her bad luck. But now she wondered why she suddenly felt so tired in the reed marsh, why Liu Lin suddenly wanted to buy candied hawthorns and coincidentally returned so late after encountering the accident.
Was it all just a series of coincidences?
Ye Ling bit her lip, not wanting to think too badly of her friend. Moreover, Liu Lin didn't seem to have any enmity with her, and the two were usually good friends.
Min Nan noted down what Ye Ling had said and then asked, "What's your roommate's name?"
He wasn't a real police officer, so further investigation would likely be handed over to Dai Wei.
"Liu Lin," Ye Ling replied.
"Liu Lin?" Min Nan was taken aback.
"Do you know her?" Ye Ling was surprised.
Min Nan fell silent for a few seconds and replied vaguely, "It's the same name as someone I know, but it's a common name. It's probably not the same person."
Min Nan didn't disclose the whole truth. In reality, he was almost certain that Ye Ling's roommate was the person he knew!
After pondering for a moment, Min Nan asked, "Do you have any conflicts with your roommate? How does she usually treat you?"
It seemed that this police officer also had suspicions about Liu Lin?
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and said, "I don't have any conflicts with her. She's usually quite nice to me."
Perhaps she was indeed overthinking things.
