Chapter 138 A Man's Heart

The faces of those present were filled with disbelief, and the reporters quickly recovered after a brief moment of astonishment.

The camera focused on Qiao Mian's face, zooming in and out.

Fu Ruyue pointed at Qiao Mian with trembling fingers, but couldn't utter a single word, as if she had lost her soul.

Anda closed his eyes in despair, his body going limp involuntarily, but fortunately he was supported by the police behind him.

The moment her mask was ripped off, Qiao Mian's first reaction was to cover her face.

However, he stopped halfway through raising his hand.

Her gaze swept over Qian Zhaoye, whose face was filled with shock, rage, and undisguised disgust.

It's like looking at a monster.

She then looked at the reporters, whose eyes were filled only with fervor and excitement at documenting the scandal.

Finally, she caught a glimpse of Qu He being held protectively in Zhuang Bieyan's arms.

Covering face?

What's the point?

So, under everyone's gaze, she lowered her hand and instead slowly raised her chin.

The incandescent light in the ward clearly illuminated every inch of her face.

I didn't notice it when she was wearing a mask, but now that her whole face is exposed, her nose and eyes look almost exactly like Qu He's.

The only noticeable flaw was the red scar on her right chin, which looked like a complication of a failed surgery.

Qiao Mian's cosmetic surgery medical record was retrieved temporarily and did not contain any cosmetic surgery templates.

Several people only knew that Qiao Mian had undergone plastic surgery, but they didn't know that she had actually transformed herself to look like Qu He.

Looking at the face that resembled her own, Qu He finally understood where the inexplicable sense of familiarity she felt every time she saw Qiao Mian came from.

In some mysterious way, she became the butterfly that stirred up the storm.

I have indescribable feelings.

Absurd and tragic.

Just then, everything went dark, and the familiar scent of cedarwood enveloped me.

"Don't look, it's dirty." His deep voice rang in my ears.

Zhuang Bieyan covered Qu He's eyes with one hand and pulled her into his arms.

When his gaze swept over Qiao Mian's distorted face, all that remained was disgust; even looking at her again felt like filth.

Qian Zhaoye looked at Qiao Mian's face, which was both strange and familiar. His hand, which was gripping her chin, unconsciously loosened its grip, and he staggered back two steps.

"What are you panicking about? Don't you love this face the most?"

Qiao Mian smiled wickedly, grabbed Qian Zhaoye's hand, and forced him to touch her face, laughing maniacally, "What's wrong? Don't you like it? Weren't you very happy when you held me those nights?"

"Shut up, you madman!" Qian Zhaoye flung her hand away, his face drained of color.

"Is it because of this red scar?" Qiao Mian touched the scar on her chin, her eyes filled with obsession.

"It's okay, the doctor said two more repair surgeries will do the trick! We can have another baby, anyway, that child is already..."

She swallowed the last few words, but her disdainful and life-trampling tone enraged everyone present.

She braced herself on the ground, struggled to get up, and walked step by step toward Qian Zhaoye.

"Smack!"

Qian Zhaoye slapped her across the face, "Are you crazy!"

Qiao Mian's face turned to the side after being slapped, and her gaze met that of Qu He, who was being protected in Zhuang Bieyan's arms.

Less than a meter apart, she saw her own dishevelment and wretchedness in Qu He's calm eyes.

Qu He met Qiao Mian's resentful and crazed eyes through the gaps between Zhuang Bieyan's fingers.

She felt a vague unease.

Suddenly, Qiao Mian gave a cold laugh, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness and a devastating madness.

A flash of light appeared before her eyes, and she suddenly pulled a fruit knife from her hospital gown pocket and stabbed Qu He with all her might.

"Go to hell!"

"A-Mian, no!"

"stop!"

Zhuang Bieyan was the first to react. Without the slightest hesitation, almost instinctively, he pulled Qu He into his arms and turned to shield her with his back.

The moment Gu Yu saw her wave her hand, he strode forward to snatch the knife, but he was the furthest away from Qiao Mian.

However, a dark figure was faster than him.

Anda suddenly broke free from the police and rushed over to hug Qiao Mian tightly around the waist.

The ward was in complete chaos.

Qian Zhaoye pulled Fu Ruyue to hide in a corner, but several reporters crowded forward with cameras, their eyes full of excitement.

Gu Yu seized the opportunity to snatch the fruit knife from her hand, twisted her wrist behind her back, and handcuffed her.

Even a cornered beast will fight.

Despite being restrained by the police, Qiao Mian still screamed at Qu He, "Qu He, I'm going to kill you!"

"A-Mian, A-Mian, no..."

Anda was pinned against the wall by the police officer next to him, but he was still struggling.

Tears streamed down his face, and his voice was full of pleading.

Judging from his appearance, anyone could tell that the two had a special relationship.

Qian Zhaoye was jolted awake by the blow, and countless images flashed through his mind.

Thinking about how Qiao Mian and Anda were together when the incident happened tonight, and recalling their usual interactions at the company, as well as Qiao Mian's abruptly stopped words just now.

An absurd conjecture popped into my head.

He walked up to Qiao Mian and angrily demanded, "Tell me, whose child is that?"

Qiao Mian glared at him with red eyes, a mocking smile on her lips, refusing to utter a single word.

Seeing her like this, Qian Zhaoye's suspicions were confirmed, and he trembled with anger.

He never imagined he'd be cheated on one day.

It was broadcast live to tens of thousands of people.

He wanted nothing more than to strangle the woman who had deceived him on the spot.

"Mr. Qian, I'm so sorry!" Anda knelt down with a thud. "I'm so sorry, please don't make things difficult for Amian..."

The ward was in complete chaos.

Fu Ruyue screamed and cursed.

Qiao Mian's hysterical cold laugh.

Anda's remorseful pleas.

Qian Zhaoye roared in despair.

The reporters were excitedly filming the chaotic scene with their cameras until they were forcibly stopped by the police.

The various sounds intertwined, making one's eardrums ache.

Viewers in the live stream witnessed the entire event, and the chat was flooded with comments:

[Wait, is this a TV drama? So melodramatic, with plot twists and turns? You need a really sharp mind to understand it.]

This was amazing! I felt like a badger leaping and bounding through a melon patch.

So, Qiao Mian had plastic surgery to look like Qu He, got pregnant with Anda's child, and after a miscarriage, deliberately caused a car accident to frame Qu He, hoping to ruin Qu He's reputation through a live stream. In the end, she got herself involved.

My God, can anyone really be so heartless as to use their own child as a bargaining chip? This woman is insane!

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained; this tactic, though risky, carries a high chance of success! (Image of Consort Jing from The Legend of Zhen Huan)"

[Let me interject: President Zhuang was so cool taking the hit! He was protecting Qu He the whole time, that kind of 'I'm your backup' attitude, you know?! You know?!]

[It's a complete mess, I suggest you stir it up and just take it away!]

The incident has caused a huge uproar online. The marketing account that originally broke the story about Qu He's drunk driving and causing the accident is also busy deleting posts, but the legal department of Zhuang's Group has already taken screenshots and saved them.

Gu Yu rubbed his temples, leaving a few policemen to control the situation, and escorted Zhuang Bieyan and Qu He out of the ward.
