Pull over and park.

After Tang Li went downstairs, the inexplicable pain in her chest made her unable to help but squat down.

"Madam, water."

Jiang Mian quickly got out of the car, took a bottle of water from the trunk, unscrewed it, and handed it to Tang Li.

The whole process was completed in one go.

Startled, Zhao Wenxun stopped halfway and looked at Jiang Mian with a look of sudden realization.

After Tang Li finished drinking the water, Jiang Mian naturally took it from him, capped it, then squatted down and asked softly:

"Madam, how are you feeling?"

Tang Li waved his hand and said:

"It's nothing, just a little motion sickness."

When Jiang Mian straightened up, she met Zhao Wenxun's gaze.

Feeling somewhat flustered, he offered a blatantly obvious explanation:

"Um... I've seen a lot of customers who get carsick. My boss often asks me to take some customers home."

oh.

is that so?

Zhao Wenxun had already seen through everything.

But no one pointed it out.

After spending half an hour with Tang Li by the river in the cold wind, Zhao Wenxun sneezed. Jiang Mian quickly took a small blanket from the car and covered Tang Li's shoulders with it.

Zhao Wenxun looked completely bewildered.

Is she the one who looks like she's about to catch a cold from the cold?

The blanket draped over me felt like snow in the dead of winter, chilling me to the bone.

That evening, Zhao Wenxun caught a terrible cold.

He developed a high fever in the middle of the night.

Yao Che had just gotten home from get off work when Lu Zhixing called him over.

Upon seeing the handsome Yao Che, Zhao Wenxun's illness worsened.

They insist on keeping people at home, and they'll complain eight hundred times just to get an IV drip or a bottle of water.

With Yao Che keeping Zhao Wenxun company, Tang Li went to sleep with peace of mind.

the next day.

A deluge of news poured in.

Zhao Wenxun, who had just finished her IV drip at around 4 a.m., was still fast asleep in her room.

"Chu Ting is awake."

Tang Li saw the news and said to Lu Zhixing, who came out of the kitchen.

But her message was delayed.

Lu Zhixing sighed: "After she woke up, she went to the bathroom and attempted suicide by cutting her wrists. Fortunately, the doctor found her in time during rounds. The information I received is that she is still in a coma and has not yet passed the critical period."

"What about Zhou Qiang?"

Tang Li knew that Lu Zhixing had access to inside information.

But Lu Zhixing reached for the tablet, opened it, and handed it to her:

"He confessed to assaulting Chu Ting without hesitation."

They admitted it so quickly.

This scapegoat is really willing to go all out.

"but..."

Lu Zhixing hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Huo Chenyu got involved in this matter, didn't he?"

Tang Li had actually guessed it all.

Last night, Zhao Wenxun and I analyzed the situation at Sanqing Hot Spring. Zhou Qiang will definitely take the blame for everything.

Lin Yiyun will portray herself as a victim.

Lu Zhixing was very surprised:

How did you know?

Tang Li pointed to Lu Zhixing's chest:

"Because he loves her."

Lu Zhixing wanted to comfort Tang Li, but he didn't know where to begin.

"The lawyer defending Zhou Qiang is one of Huo Chenyu's men. The lawyer met with Zhou Qiang this morning. If I'm not mistaken, you'll soon receive a call from Huo Chenyu."

No sooner had Tang Li finished speaking than his phone rang.

It was Huo Chenyu calling.

I arranged to meet her.

"I'll go with you."

Lu Zhixing handed the warmed milk to Tang Li.

Tang Li wanted to say no, but she knew she couldn't drive, so she didn't insist.

She couldn't eat a single bite of the breakfast laid out on the table in front of her.

On her way to see Huo Chenyu, Tang Li had already considered all sorts of possibilities.

But to her complete surprise, Lin Yiyun was also there.

When they entered, Lin Yiyun was nestled affectionately in Huo Chenyu's arms. Tang Li was momentarily dazed and stumbled, but luckily Lu Zhixing reached out to support her.

This is not a game for four people.

Tang Li was visibly startled when the lawyer appeared.

"Hello, Miss Tang."

Just as Tang Li had guessed, the lawyer obtained Zhou Qiang's screen recording and confession. Regarding Tang Yuan's assault on Lin Yiyun, Zhou Qiang recounted the entire process of the crime.

On the night of the tasting event, he used his past as a chef to sneak in and put something in Lin Yiyun's drink.

As a result, Tang Yuan accidentally drank that glass of wine, which led to the series of tragedies that followed.

Zhou Qiang's motive for the crime was that he was a fanatical fan of Lin Yiyun and had long admired her.

Tang Yuan was just an innocent victim.

This cleared him of the charge of rapism.

After the lawyer left, Lin Yiyun stood up, walked over to Tang Li, and tearfully apologized:

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that your brother is in trouble."

What a show-off.

Tang Li didn't bother to look at her again, but instead looked up at Huo Chenyu.

"In the end, your brother and I are both victims. I'm withdrawing the agreement I signed. Your brother can come back anytime. I've already spoken with my older brother, and he will help Yun Tang as compensation."

That's hilarious.

One victim said he wanted to compensate another victim.

Tang Li really wanted to ask, "Are you feeling guilty?"

But what came out was:

Thank you.

After she finished speaking, she stood up. If Lu Zhixing hadn't supported her, she wouldn't have been able to stand steadily.

Tang Li took two steps toward the door and then stopped.

Her fingernails were already digging into her flesh, but reason told her she had to restrain herself.

There is no evidence to prove that Lin Yiyun is guilty.

Then she is an innocent victim.
