Her face turned pale instantly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She couldn't believe her ears. This woman had actually had physical contact with Xu Zhixu, and she was even pregnant!
A strong sense of jealousy and anger surged in her heart. She felt betrayed by this woman.
"That's right, and I already have Xu Zhixu's baby. Who do you think he will like more?" Su Yao taunted.
Her words were like a sharp knife piercing Bai Lan's heart, making her heart turn cold in an instant.
Bai Lan's eyes turned red, and her heart was filled with jealousy and anger. She felt that she was defeated by this woman, defeated by her.
Behind Su Yao is the pond.
The pond shimmered like a mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the distant mountains. The sunlight sprinkled on the lake, creating golden ripples that looked like countless golden fish swimming in the water.
The pond's surroundings are also beautiful. In the distance, a dense forest shimmers in the sunlight, and occasionally, a few birds fly through, chirping. Nearby, rows of weeping willows sway softly in the wind, resembling the dancing figures of fairies.
The water in the pond is so clear that you can see the small fish and water plants on the bottom. A few lotus flowers float on the surface, their pink petals looking particularly beautiful in the sunlight. The fragrance of the lotus flowers wafts on the wind, bringing a sense of peace and joy.
The whole pond gives people a sense of tranquility, peace and no danger.
There was a glint of cunning in Bai Lan's eyes, and she pushed Su Yao without hesitation.
"ah!"
Su Yao was completely unprepared and stumbled when pushed, then fell into the pond in front of her.
"Help! I can't swim!"
Su Yao cried out in horror, her hands scrabbling in the air, trying to find a life-saving straw.
Bai Lan stood by the pond, watching Su Yao struggling in the water, a smug smile on her face.
She was not worried that Su Yao would drown, as the pond didn't look deep.
However, Su Yao's panic and struggle did not stop.
A look of despair appeared on her face, her hands were grasping at the air, and her body was swaying in the water.
A trace of uneasiness flashed through Bai Lan's heart.
But no one knew that she had returned to China. If Su Yao told Xu Zhixu, she would not be able to hide it!
She chose to run away, ignoring Su Yao's cry for help.
Not long after Bai Lan left, Su Yao's best friend came to the villa.
After Su Yao's status rose and she made a lot of money, her best friend was even happier. She would come to Su Yao every day to get closer to her.
As soon as she entered the villa gate, a cold wind blew.
I rang the doorbell, but no one answered.
My best friend was a little confused, then reached out and pushed the door.
The door was not locked and opened slowly.
When she walked in, a cold wind blew in her face and she couldn't help shivering.
The villa was silent and no sound was heard.
The best friend felt a little nervous and called out, "Su Yao?"
No one responded.
She plucked up her courage and walked into the villa step by step.
The living room was empty, and the tea set on the coffee table was still steaming, obviously the tea had just been brewed.
She walked down the hallway to the bedroom, but no one was there.
Where are you going?
Su Yao had just messaged herself, saying that she was at home and that they had made an appointment to have afternoon tea together.
How can I stand myself up now?
"Su Yao, are you there? Stop playing hide-and-seek with me." The bestie called out, but there was still no response.
So weird...
A bad premonition arose spontaneously, causing her bestie's heartbeat to accelerate instantly.
She stood in front of the window, her eyes fixed on the pond below. The shimmering water seemed to be telling her something.
Suddenly, she saw a shadow in the pond, and the shadow seemed to be floating in the water.
Her heart tightened, and she immediately went downstairs and rushed to the pond. When she got closer, she found that it was not a shadow, but Su Yao!
Su Yao floated on the pond, no longer struggling. Her body lay limply on her back, her hair wet and sticking to her face, her eyes closed, as if she were sleeping. However, her bestie knew that all this was an illusion.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and my bestie's legs went limp.
Her eyes widened and her hands trembled as she called the police and emergency services.
Her voice was filled with tears, and she told the other party incoherently: "Someone is drowning, come and save her! She is motionless, I am afraid she has... Please come quickly!"
Soon, the police cordoned off the scene and an ambulance arrived. Medical staff quickly and orderly launched a rescue, but Su Yao's body was already stiff and there was no sign of life.
My best friend stood by and watched all this silently, her tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with pain and regret.
She thought of every little detail about Su Yao and her when she was alive, and the happy times they had spent together. But now, everything has become the past.
The rescue center staff announced Su Yao's death. The cause of death was clear: drowning.
This news made everyone at the scene fall into silence. They couldn't imagine that a young life was gone just like that.
The police began to investigate and collect evidence at the scene. They interviewed witnesses and collected relevant evidence.
However, they did not find any valuable clues, and the cause of Su Yao's death remained a mystery.
The best friend quietly left the scene and returned home.
She didn't know how to face this cruel reality. She didn't know how to get out of this painful shadow.
However, she knew that she had to be strong and seek justice for Su Yao.
The news of Su Yao's death soon reached Gu Jisui.
Gu Jisui frowned.
What's going on? So many things happened in such a short time!
This made him even more worried about Shen Yuan's safety.
He couldn't help but start to suspect that it was Xu Zhixu's doing.
Could it be that he discovered Su Yao's secret and killed her to silence her? It shouldn't be such a small matter.
He was puzzled. Could it be that Su Yao had provoked someone she shouldn't have provoked, and that's why she ended up like this?
It should not have much to do with Shen Yuan’s kidnapping.
Forget it, his current focus should be on meeting with the kidnappers at 8 o'clock tonight.
…
At this moment, Bai Lan was sitting in her hotel room, her eyes fixed on the screen of her mobile phone, which was playing a piece of news. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were flashing with tension and anxiety.
Suddenly, Bai Lan's heart tightened. She knew that person was Su Yao.
The terrifying scene instantly appeared in her mind, and she knew that it was her fault.
The daughter looked at her, her eyes full of worry and fear. She held Bai Lan's hand tightly, as if this could give her some comfort and support.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" the daughter asked, her voice trembling and uneasy.
