Seeing Leng Chuanjin blaming himself, Xia Sanghuan took his hand.
"You and Big Brother have done your best."
"Just rest tonight. We can deal with everything tomorrow."
The man looked at her deeply, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
His embrace was so warm that it warmed her cold hands.
She hesitated for a moment and then reached out to hug him back.
The two just hugged each other wordlessly, like wild beasts licking each other's wounds.
The next morning, just before leaving, Leng Chuanjin hesitated and called out to her.
"Are you... still going to the laboratory today?"
"Why not stay at home and rest for a few days?"
The girl gave him a reassuring smile.
"It's okay."
"Such a small thing won't defeat me."
"After all, taking care of Jing Zhan's illness is the most important thing for now."
And the poison in your body, she thought silently to herself while waving goodbye to the man.
"I'm leaving. Goodbye, Second Brother."
Watching the girl's back gradually disappearing, he couldn't help frowning with worry.
At this moment, Wang Fu, the butler, walked forward with a smile.
"Master, don't you think that when you were the same age as Miss Xia, you had a similar way of doing things?"
"Why do you say so?"
He turned to look at the butler, raising his eyebrows. His originally heavy mood got a bit better because of this remark.
"Both of you are equally hard - working and a bit hard - headed."
After saying this, the butler turned around and continued to direct the servants to clean up.
"So, instead of hindering her progress, giving her more spiritual encouragement at this time will make her more dependent on you."
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and then fell into deep thought.
Just then, a call came in on his phone.
"Hello."
"Hello, Young Master Leng. Something terrible has happened!"
Yun Ye's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's going on? Calm down and tell me slowly."
Leng Chuanjin rarely saw Yun Ye so nervous, so this matter must be extremely serious.
"Young Master Leng..."
He hesitated, as if not knowing how to say it.
"Young Master Leng, maybe you'd better take a look at the headline of the morning newspaper."
Leng Chuanjin's heart sank instantly.
He hung up the phone and quickly opened the official news website.
The headline read clearly: The daughter of the Fu family killed a passer - by but refused to admit it and spoke rudely at the police station.
Clicking on the link, a video came into view.
The video clearly showed the whole process from Xia Sanghuan squatting on the ground to feel the passer - by's pulse at the beginning to the passer - by's death.
Below the video was a recording.
The recording started with an ordinary question - and - answer session.
"Suspect No. 1883, have you had any contact with the deceased?"
"Yes."
Then there was a rather noisy buzzing sound.
"..." Report all your actions truthfully, and we can still plead with our superiors to reduce your..."
After the buzzing sound, there was an unclear sentence, followed by an obvious scoff from Xia Sanghuan.
"Didn't I cooperate?"
"I did what I did. How else do you want me to answer?"
"I admit the charge."
After playing this short and unclear passage, the recording was abruptly cut off with a "pop".
This recording, which was obviously processed later, was interpreted by the news article like this.
"..." During the preservation of the recording, Miss Xia Sanghuan, the daughter of the Fu family, repeatedly obstructed the police, so the recording content is a bit noisy and damaged."
His face gloomy, he read this sentence word by word.
"Son of a bitch!"
He threw his phone out with a "pop", rarely swearing.
He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
Although this recording was full of loopholes, with the explanation in the article, it seemed reasonable.
If the other party had forged a perfect recording, the public might have suspected something because of the unsmooth tone and intonation.
... He had been careless.
He bit his back teeth angrily and then rushed out of the door.
Since this article had been published, it meant that Xia Sanghuan was now deeply caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.
The other party could even bypass so many of his eyes and publish this news, which showed how powerful their means were.
So what happened yesterday made sense.
Their only purpose was to force Xia Sanghuan to admit that non - existent evidence.
However, the girl was too alert and tough for them to deceive or intimidate.
... So they resorted to such despicable means.
They just wanted to separate the two of them so that Xia Sanghuan could no longer participate in the research of the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure.
Then Jing Zhan's illness could not be cured. After Jing Zhan died, they would have a chance to seize the spiritual treasure.
He rushed towards the underground parking lot, and Yun Ye arrived in time.
He opened the car door and got in.
"Go to Fernos College."
At his order, Yun Ye drove the car away at full speed.
When they arrived at the college gate, sure enough, there was already a crowd of reporters crowded there.
They held microphones in their hands and carried cameras on their shoulders, chattering to the security guards who came out to maintain order.
"Uncle, let us go in and take a look!"
"Yes, yes. We just want to go in and interview Miss Xia Sanghuan."
"Get out of here! This is a school. You can't just come in as you like!"
The security captain stared with his eyes wide open. With his burly figure, he managed to scare away quite a few reporters.
However, some people had no bottom - line in order to gain popularity. Since they were not allowed to enter, they simply turned on their cameras right at the school gate.
"...Dear viewers, welcome to our live broadcast room."
"As you can see, we are now at the gate of the school where Miss Xia Sanghuan studies."
"We are trying to negotiate with the security guards for the opportunity to enter the school for an interview..."
Before the reporter could finish her words, the camera on the photographer following her was knocked to the ground.
The photographer turned around with an annoyed look on his face and shouted at the person who had bumped into him.
"What are you pushing for? Are you blind!"
However, before he could finish his complaint, he was silenced by a gloomy face.
"Compensate him."
Leng Chuanjin said to Yun Ye beside him.
Yun Ye immediately took out a card from his pocket and stuffed it into the photographer's hand.
"The money in this card is enough to buy twenty of the most high - end cameras currently available."
"So don't say anything about what just happened. Do you understand?"
Compared to Leng Chuanjin, who was like a living hell - king, Yun Ye seemed much more amiable.
But somehow, these two people felt a chill on their necks when they saw the official smile on Yun Ye's face.
Under Yun Ye's escort, Leng Chuanjin successfully entered the school through the crowd.
