Since the two valued the life-saving grace so much, then... she would make one herself!
She waited for two months, and finally her opportunity came.
That day, a performing arts troupe went to the sanatorium to perform for the patients. He Wanrou found a crowded and noisy opportunity to lure Qin Peilan to the abandoned auditorium alone.
She had secretly replaced Qin Peilan's daily medication with fake medicine obtained from her brother He Youliang a day in advance.
The day before Qin Peilan fell ill, she ate nothing but these useless dough dumplings.
An acute condition like angina pectoris cannot withstand such treatment.
A severe withdrawal reaction occurred very quickly.
Before long, Qin Peilan felt discomfort in her chest, couldn't breathe, and experienced waves of tearing pain in her heart.
Qin Peilan clutched her chest and curled up in pain. Most of the people in the sanatorium had gone to see the performance, and the area around the abandoned auditorium was deserted.
She cried out for help with all her might, her voice echoing in the empty auditorium, but no one answered.
She shakily pulled out her usual first-aid medication from her inner pocket and put it in her mouth, but the medication showed no signs of relief.
She finally collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer...
Throughout the entire process, He Wanrou hid outside a dilapidated window in the auditorium, coldly observing everything.
She watched Qin Peilan struggle in pain, but did not rush in to help immediately.
Instead, he waited patiently until the noise inside gradually subsided before calmly tidying his clothes and putting on a panicked expression.
They pretended to have discovered that Qin Peilan was missing and had been anxiously searching for her all the way here.
They "coincidentally" discovered Qin Peilan, who was on the verge of death, and hurriedly called for doctors and nurses, staging a scene of saving a life.
The truth, pieced together from the police investigation and He Wanrou's fragmented words over the phone, is roughly as follows.
Zhou Qiqi's account was rather general, and some details were inevitably vague.
But to Qin Peilan and Shen Zhenbang, the two parties involved, these words were like a thunderclap!
Qin Peilan felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Her face was deathly pale, her lips trembled violently, and she murmured:
"Wh...what? You mean, that time...that time I almost lost my life, it wasn't an accident? It was He Wanrou...she switched my medicine?!"
"She did it on purpose, deliberately watched me...watched me die?! That life-saving favor, from beginning to end, was all an act?! It was all a trap she set up?!"
She simply couldn't believe that there could be such a vicious and scheming person in the world!
For the sake of that little bit of selfishness, they were actually able to ruthlessly gamble with other people's lives and put on such a cold-blooded show!
The immense impact made her vision go black and her body sway, but fortunately, Shen Zhenbang, who was next to her, caught her.
She gripped her husband's arm tightly, her mind uncontrollably flashing back to the gentle image of He Wanrou caring for her at her bedside, serving her tea and water.
He recalled the endless gratitude and trust he felt because of her "life-saving grace".
Over the past six months, he had treated her almost like his own daughter.
"But, but before, she was clearly... clearly the gentlest and most understanding person..."
Qin Peilan's voice trembled with tears, "She took care of me so diligently and patiently, I... I truly treated her like my own child! Seeing how hard it was for her at such a young age, I bought her new clothes, delicious food, and gave her pocket money, afraid she would suffer any hardship..."
"I even planned in my mind to introduce her to Huaichuan this time, and if things went well, I'd adopt her as my goddaughter..."
Although He Wanrou later became impatient and did some inappropriate things, she temporarily put the idea aside.
But his pity for her and his intention to pave the way for her never changed.
Even after the drugging incident, after discussing it with Lao Shen, she still decided to give her a large sum of money and use her connections to find her a stable and good job, thus fulfilling this "fate".
She gave her whole heart, but she never expected that it was all a conspiracy!
"How could she...how could she do this?!"
Qin Peilan burst into tears and murmured uncontrollably.
