He Xinlan stared at the trend of public opinion on Weibo, her eyes blazing with rage. Her features were twisted grotesquely, making her look hideous.
What's going on...
She had shot herself in the foot! She had thought that by using this press interview, she could push this matter to a climax and make others more convinced that Feng Yu was the real culprit behind this suicide incident... But she never expected that Qiu Fu would show up there and easily turn the tide!
Now, people on the Internet were gradually starting to think that Feng Yu was innocent, and there must be a turning point in this matter!
He Xinlan suddenly panicked. If Qiu Fu really got involved in this matter, what if he traced it back to her...
No! She must not let this happen.
He Xinlan's face darkened horribly. She picked up her phone and called Wu Li.
"Didn't you say it would be foolproof? How could this happen?" He Xinlan asked, frustrated.
Wu Li was also extremely upset. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, then threw it on the ground and stomped on it hard with his new leather shoes. The coldness in his eyes deepened.
"Don't worry. Even if that bitch didn't die, I'll never let her say a single word! By then, just transfer the money!"
"Good. You said so yourself! Don't mess it up again! Otherwise... you won't get a single cent!"
He Xinlan threatened Wu Li with money. As long as this matter was carried out perfectly, even Qiu Fu wouldn't be able to trace it back to her!
...
On the other side, in Qincheng Hospital.
Feng Yu sat silently in Xue Shanshan's hospital ward, holding her laptop. She followed the clues about Wu Li and found out that he was actually an orphan. Where did he get a mother? How could he be in urgent need of money to treat his mother's illness?
The only explanation was that the kind - hearted Xue Shanshan had been completely deceived by this scumbag.
Moreover, by following the overseas transfer funds of Wu Li and tracing the information chain, she found out the name of the transferrer, He Xinlan.
Seeing the three characters of He Xinlan, Feng Yu squinted her eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
She thought that after He Xinlan had fallen to this state, she should have realized her mistakes and stopped doing stupid things. But unexpectedly... she was still so obstinate and insisted on hurting her and those around her.
She wasn't a saint.
She would never let He Xinlan go so easily!
Since that was the case, it was time to settle old and new scores together.
A cold smile curled up on Feng Yu's lips. She anonymously emailed the evidence of He Xinlan's crime to the Zhu family, He Xinlan's current backer.
If Zhu Fujun, the third young master of the Zhu family, knew that He Xinlan had used the Zhu family's money to do such things, he would surely be so angry that he would send He Xinlan directly to the police station, right?
Feng Yu closed the laptop, looked at Xue Shanshan who was still in a coma, and sighed.
She got up and retrieved the silver needles from Xue Shanshan's body. "If you only want to escape instead of facing things when problems arise, even the gods can't save you. Only by learning to love yourself can you be loved by others."
"You actually knew I was awake, didn't you?" Xue Shanshan suddenly opened her eyes, but her pupils were blank, as if she had experienced the greatest despair in life.
Feng Yu looked at her calmly. "So what if I did? So what if I didn't? As long as you don't want to live, I can't save you even if I try my best."
"You can't understand my pain..." Xue Shanshan's eyes were already wet with tears.
She had whole - heartedly helped Wu Li conceal the truth. In the end, she wanted to exonerate Wu Li and take all the blame on herself.
But she never expected to be betrayed by her lover. For the sake of money, he had forced her to write a suicide note and dragged her into the bathroom...
He had cut her wrist forcefully...
"Yes, I don't understand."
Feng Yu didn't comfort her at all and just said to herself, "But if I were you, if I still had a glimmer of hope to survive, I would never give up. I would never let such a scumbag succeed."
"Miss Feng..."
Xue Shanshan lowered her head. "I'm different from you. I'm not as lucky as you. Even if I became a widow, I'd still be the high - and - mighty Mrs. Fu. I don't have a rich friend like you. Without my boyfriend, I'd have nothing!"
"Really?" Feng Yu looked at the girl lying on the hospital bed sympathetically.
Xue Shanshan saw the sympathy in her eyes but didn't know what to say. She just lowered her head in self - abasement and fell into silence.
Feng Yu got up and was about to walk out of the ward.
"Think about it seriously. Do you really have nothing? Can this scumbag represent everything in your life? Before you met Wu Li... didn't you also manage on your own? Why can't you do it now?"
Xue Shanshan looked in the direction where Feng Yu had left, her lips parting but no words coming out.
Yes...
She had been in a relationship with Wu Li for three years.
Three years ago, she had also managed on her own.
Why couldn't she do it this time?
She couldn't just give up...
Absolutely not!
Xue Shanshan closed her eyes, wanting to rest well and recover actively. Just then, someone pushed open the ward door.
Was it Miss Feng?
Just as Xue Shanshan was about to tell her that she would cheer up, a man's decisive voice came from the large ward.
"Shanshan, since you've always loved me so much, love me one more time this time."
She sized up Wu Li from the corner of her eye. He seemed not to know that she had woken up yet. She saw him take out a syringe and raise his hand, trying to insert it into her drip bag.
"Wu Li!" Xue Shanshan suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. "We've been together for three years. You tried to kill me once for the sake of money, and now you want to kill me a second time?"
"So you're really awake..."
Wu Li's face darkened. He said angrily, "Who told you to go back on your word and help Feng Yu clear her name?"
Xue Shanshan gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and continued to ask puzzledly, "I said I would take all the blame on myself. I would never drag you down!"
"As long as I can ruin Feng Yu's reputation, I can get double, no, triple the price! Triple! Do you understand?"
Wu Li suddenly laughed, his eyes filled with a hint of horror. "But if you wake up and expose the matter, I won't only lose the money, I may also lose everything..."
"Money, money, money! You weren't like this before!" Xue Shanshan stared at Wu Li with wide - open eyes.
Had Wu Li changed, or had she never really known the real him from the very beginning?
Wu Li put his hands around her neck, his eyes cold. "Stop talking nonsense. Since you're not willing to help me, I have to help myself!"
"Let... let go!" Xue Shanshan's face suddenly turned red.
She had just escaped from the gates of hell. How could she be a match for Wu Li? She only felt her breathing getting more and more difficult...
