Cao Xue was a little nervous, and she subconsciously looked at He Lingchuan: "My sister doesn't know I ran away."
Cao Wei and her parents did not allow her to have contact with He Lingchuan, nor did they know that she was in Gu Chengze's laboratory.
Cao Xue took the initiative to approach Shen Yanxi: "Sister Xixi, I'm leaving now. Don't call my sister."
Are you scared?
Shen Yanxi's tone was icy as she looked Cao Xue up and down: "Cao Xue, this isn't the first time I've warned you, and I hope this is the last."
Cao Xue pursed her lips, feeling unwilling but unable to refute. She knew that He Lingchuan would definitely not stand by her side, and that He Lingchuan would be eager to distance himself from her. Therefore, she couldn't let He Lingchuan think of her as a nuisance.
Cao Xue nodded confidently: "Don't worry, Sister Xixi, I won't come looking for Brother Lingchuan again if nothing happens."
Shen Yanxi frowned; this was the first time she had ever seen Cao Xue so obedient.
She watched Cao Xue's departing figure, feeling something was amiss.
Only Shen Yanxi and He Lingchuan remained in the large room. The two children had already gone to their room to rest. Shen Yanxi walked up to He Lingchuan and put her hands on his shoulders: "I've only been gone for a short while, and you couldn't resist bringing them in? Aren't you afraid the children will be corrupted?"
"Cao Xue is just here to help; you're being too hostile towards her."
He Lingchuan narrowed his eyes, staring at Shen Yanxi's upturned lips with a cold expression: "She is, after all, your friend's sister. Why do you have such hostility towards her?"
"She likes you, don't you know?"
Shen Yanxi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You want me to be friends with my love rival?"
It's amazing that He Lingchuan could come up with this idea.
"A love rival? You mean you like me?"
He Lingchuan deliberately lowered his head and got close to Shen Yanxi's face. At that moment, Shen Yanxi felt inexplicably shy.
She turned her head away, feeling uncomfortable: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Then what do you mean by that?"
He Lingchuan deliberately asked her, but after waiting for a long time without getting an answer from Shen Yanxi, he curled his lips in disdain: "Shen Yanxi, you can't be so selfish. Do you expect me to remain chaste for you for the rest of my life?"
After saying the last word, He Lingchuan walked back to his room, leaving Shen Yanxi standing there alone.
The next morning, He Lingchuan did not see Shen Yanxi, guessing that she had gone to the hospital.
Thinking about how she took care of Zhou Mingyan day and night, He Lingchuan couldn't help but laugh.
When Nan Chen first returned to the hospital, he didn't see Shen Yanxi being this nervous. Sure enough, compared to Zhou Mingyan, these two children were just there to make up the numbers.
He Lingchuan sighed helplessly, woke up the two children, and took them to school.
He Lingchuan was relieved after watching the two children enter the school gate.
Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Gu Chengze: "Ling Chuan, come over here for a moment. I've run into a problem and need your help."
Gu Chengze's voice sounded somewhat hurried, and He Lingchuan didn't dare to delay for a moment, rushing back to the laboratory as quickly as possible.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a frail young woman kneeling at the entrance of their laboratory.
He Lingchuan looked puzzled. He stepped forward and was about to greet Gu Chengze when the woman grabbed his legs.
"You are He Lingchuan, aren't you? A life for a life, you must give us justice."
Justice? What justice? When did he become a murderer?
He Lingchuan pried the woman's hands apart while backing away.
He had only taken two steps when Gu Chengze grabbed his wrist: "Ling Chuan, this person is Xu Fei's mother."
"Xu Fei?"
He Lingchuan frowned, not expecting these people to arrive so quickly.
He had long suspected that these people wouldn't let him go, especially since Xu Fei's imprisonment had shattered all their hopes.
He Lingchuan lowered his head, realizing the purpose of her visit: "You've finally come."
This whole thing really started because of him, and he certainly can't just sit idly by and wait to die.
He Lingchuan looked at the people outside the door and guessed that they were all Xu Fei's relatives.
He walked up to Xu Fei's mother and coldly asked her, "What do you want me to do?"
He Lingchuan could roughly guess her purpose; she simply wanted money.
Xu Fei's mother knelt on the ground, crying, "What can I do? I'm begging you to give me back my son, can you?"
Two lines of clear tears slid down his face, and she slumped to the ground, looking aggrieved.
“Your son can get out sooner if he behaves well. Instead of wasting your time crying here, you should tell your son to behave well in prison.”
He Lingchuan's expression was indifferent. He had felt sorry for this family before, but now he realized that there must be something hateful about those who are pitiful. This woman was talking about how pitiful Xu Fei was, without even thinking about what her son had done.
He Lingchuan gave Gu Chengze a wink, signaling him to go back to the lab: "This kind of person is a scoundrel. The more you pay attention to her, the more she'll cling to you. Let's go back."
Just as they were about to enter, Xu Fei's mother suddenly stood up, grabbed He Lingchuan's hand, and bit down hard.
"I'm telling you, if you don't pay us back, I'm not leaving today."
She sat cross-legged on the ground and took out a pile of yellow paper from her bag: "Do you think it's easy for us orphans and widows? You drove my son to his death, and now you won't even give us an explanation. You're trying to kill me."
"How did I drive your son to his death? Don't talk nonsense."
He Lingchuan was furious. He lowered his voice and warned Xu Fei's mother, "Your son is a kidnapper. I didn't pursue the case because I thought your family was poor, but you're turning around and accusing me."
"Alright, stop wasting your breath on this person." Gu Chengze rushed up to her, impatiently pushing Xu Fei's mother's shoulder: "Put these things away from me. If you continue to cause trouble here, I'm going to call the police."
"Go ahead and call the police right now. I want to show the police how rich people like you bully others."
"My son, you have such a hard life."
Xu Fei's mother sat on the ground and cried bitterly, her face gloomy.
She cried as she threw yellow paper, and the people around her backed away from her.
Some people even started criticizing He Lingchuan: "Hey, hurry up and take this person away, we still have business to do here."
"Exactly, you can't see anything when your lab doors are closed, but we think it's bad luck."
The area is full of small vendors. How are they supposed to do business if someone suddenly comes along and throws yellow paper around?
When Xu Fei's mother saw that someone was speaking up for her, she cried even louder: "You all curse him, all of you curse him! He killed my son, he killed my son!"
He Lingchuan frowned, wishing he could drag the person out right now.
He looked at Gu Chengze: "Chengze, I think we should call the police. She cursed her own son to die for money. No matter how much we talk, she won't leave."
Gu Chengze had no objection to this: "I'll listen to you."
