Chapter 92 The adulterous couple took the bait! Overjoyed, they let slip the secret!
"Knock knock knock".
There was a gentle knock on the door of the ward.
Qin Lie looked up and saw the face that appeared at the door; his eyes instantly darkened.
It is Wenxue.
She wore a brand new floral dress today, her hair was permed into fashionable waves, and she wore light makeup with bright, vibrant lipstick.
She looked radiant, which seemed out of place in the somber atmosphere of the hospital room.
She was also carrying a fruit basket filled with fresh apples and oranges.
"Little Wu, Brother Qin."
Wen Xue walked in, her face showing just the right amount of worry and sympathy.
She placed the fruit basket on the bedside table, her eyes reddening, and her voice trembling with tears.
"I...I just heard about Brother Qin's situation. How could this happen? God is so unfair."
Her acting was flawless; anyone who watched it would feel that she was a good comrade who genuinely cared about her friends.
Jiang Wu leaned against the headboard, her face pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.
She didn't say anything, she just silently shed tears.
Qin Lie sat in his wheelchair, his back to the door, looking out the window.
He seemed not to hear Wen Xue's words, nor did he turn around.
That lonely figure was filled with dejection and despair.
Wenxue was overjoyed to see this.
But her face showed even more sadness.
She walked over to Jiang Wu, took Jiang Wu's hand, and gently patted the back of her hand.
"Little Wu, you must hold on. You're pregnant. What will happen to Brother Qin and the baby if you collapse?"
"It's all my fault..."
As Wenxue spoke, she actually managed to squeeze out a few tears.
“It’s all my fault… If I hadn’t always been praising Brother Qin to Li Weiguo, he… he wouldn’t have been so jealous of Brother Qin and did such a foolish thing.”
“If I didn’t admire Brother Qin so much, Li Weiguo… he wouldn’t have turned love into hate and wanted to destroy you…”
Her words were half true and half false, a complete distortion of the truth.
She managed to absolve herself of all responsibility, portraying herself as an innocent victim who was exploited by Li Weiguo.
He subtly planted another thorn in Jiang Wu's heart.
—See? Your man got into trouble because I'm too charming, and other men are jealous of me.
Jiang Wu's body trembled, and she abruptly pulled her hand back as if she had been touched by something dirty.
She raised her head, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Wen Xue.
"You...you get out of here!"
Her voice was hoarse, filled with hatred and rejection.
"Little Wu, please don't do this..."
Wenxue wanted to say something more.
"roll!"
Qin Lie, who had been silent all along, suddenly turned his wheelchair around and let out a beast-like growl at Wen Xue.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the muscles in his face were contorted with rage.
They looked as if they were about to pounce on Wen Xue and devour her alive.
Wenxue was startled by his appearance and subconsciously took a step back.
But then, an even greater sense of pleasure welled up inside her.
right!
That's it!
Rage! Roar!
The more you suffer, the happier I am!
"Okay...okay...I'll go, I'll go."
Wen Xue pretended to be terrified, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Brother Qin, Sister Xiao Wu, please don't get agitated. Take good care of yourselves. I... I'll come see you another day."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left the ward as if she were fleeing.
As soon as she stepped out of the ward and out of sight of everyone, the sadness and fear on Wenxue's face vanished without a trace.
Instead, an irrepressible, smug smile appeared on his face.
She was in such a good mood that she even wanted to hum a song.
Instead of returning to her dormitory, she walked briskly towards the back of the base.
There was a small grove of trees there, which was her and Li Weiguo's usual meeting place.
She was going to find Li Weiguo and tell him the good news.
...
In the grove of trees on the back hill.
Li Weiguo paced back and forth anxiously.
These past two days, he's been like an ant on a hot pan.
Technician Wang was arrested.
Although he quickly found out through connections that Wang Jishi had died in solitary confinement due to a sudden heart attack.
There is no way to verify the truth since the dead are dead.
He is safe for now.
But he still felt uneasy.
Qin Lie's return alive was like a thorn, piercing his heart.
As long as Qin Lie is still around, he won't be able to sleep well.
"Brother Li!"
Wen Xue's sweet, delicate voice came from not far away.
Li Weiguo looked up and saw Wen Xue's beaming face, and half of his irritation subsided.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that things are tense lately and we should see each other less often?"
"Oh, what's there to be afraid of!"
Wen Xue ran over with a smile and hooked her arm around Li Weiguo's neck.
"I have some amazing news to tell you!"
"What good news?"
"Qin Lie! He's crippled!"
Wen Xue leaned close to Li Weiguo's ear and said excitedly.
"His legs are completely ruined! He'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life! I just saw it with my own eyes! That arrogant Chief of Staff Qin is now like a dead dog!"
"What?!"
Li Weiguo was also stunned.
He has been confined to his home for the past two days to "reflect" on his actions and is unaware of this news.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! The hospital director said it himself!"
Wen Xue said smugly.
"Now we can rest easy! What trouble can a cripple cause?"
Upon hearing this, Li Weiguo's face lit up with ecstatic joy.
He hugged Wenxue tightly and kissed her hard on the cheek.
"That's wonderful! That's really wonderful! Thank God!"
The huge weight that had been pressing on my heart for days was finally lifted at this moment.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the future was bright.
"That cripple yelled at me in the hospital room. He looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive."
Li Weiguo recalled Qin Lie's cold gaze at the dock that day, and now he just found it laughable.
"A good-for-nothing, all he's good for is yelling."
"you do not say!"
Wen Xue leaned against Li Weiguo's chest and giggled.
"And that bitch Jiang Wu! Didn't you see the look on her face like she'd just lost her parents? It was so satisfying!"
"I thought she was some kind of sea goddess descended to earth, capable of rescuing people from typhoons. Turns out, all she brought back was a cripple! Haha, that's hilarious!"
"To be honest, our plan is still not perfect."
Li Weiguo lit a cigarette and said smugly.
"We should have just blown up the ship back then, so that their bodies would be completely destroyed, instead of leaving a cripple here in the way."
"But it's fine as it is now."
A malicious glint flashed in Wen Xue's eyes.
"Let him live, to be a useless piece of trash for the rest of his life. Let that bitch Jiang Wu live a life of widowhood! That's more painful than letting them die! Only that can relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"That's right!"
Li Weiguo burst into laughter, threw away his cigarette butt, and picked Wenxue up in his arms.
"Come on! You're so happy today, let's go to a great place and celebrate!"
He carried Wenxue and walked deeper into the woods.
Both were so engrossed in the joy of surviving the ordeal and the thrill of revenge that they didn't notice anything amiss.
In the grass not far behind them.
A black Sony tape recorder was silently turning the cassette tape.
A security officer in plainclothes carefully pressed the stop button.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Close the net."
He spoke softly into the miniature walkie-talkie on his collar.
The next second, more than a dozen fully armed soldiers appeared out of nowhere, rushing out from all directions and completely surrounding the grove of trees.
Li Weiguo and Wen Xue, who were deep in the woods preparing to commit their illicit act, were terrified when they heard the noise.
They hurriedly put on their clothes, still not realizing what was happening.
The bright beam of the flashlight had pinned them to the spot.
"Li Weiguo, Wen Xue. You two are under arrest!"
