Chapter 100 Alone
Zhou Cheng died saving Zhuang Xueming. Everyone in the army knew about it, and Ye Chi certainly knew it too. He didn't comment on Luo Yongnian's suggestion of a fake marriage.
Looking at Gu Yimin, he asked, "Did you know about the fake marriage before?"
"I know. Tong Lu told me a few days ago." Gu Yimin knew that answering this way would only make her more suspicious. But she still chose to tell the truth. She didn't push Tong Lu, so there was no need to be afraid.
Ye Chi hummed, then looked at Tong Lu and asked, "Why did you tell her about the fake marriage?"
Tong Lu looked at Luo Yongnian and Gu Yimin, with a hint of apology in her eyes. She said, "I think there's something going on between Yimin and Luo Yongnian. I'm afraid Luo Yongnian won't be able to explain it clearly later, so I want to explain it to her."
"Are you dating?" Ye Chi looked at Gu Yimin and asked.
Gu Yimin answered decisively: "No."
Luo Yongnian was a little upset by her decisiveness. He said, "We are just fellow villagers and have only met twice."
As he said this, he glanced at Gu Yimin from the corner of his eye, but her expression remained calm. Luo Yongnian felt an indescribable sense of loss. However, his expression remained serious.
Ye Chi hummed again, then looked at Gu Yimin again and asked, "Comrade Gu Yimin, where are you from?"
Gu Yimin: "I'm from Shangshui Village, Shanshui Town, Yong'an County."
Ye Chi chewed on the words "Shanshui Town" and looked at Zhuang Xueming again, "When did you and Zhao Xue originally plan to get married?"
Zhuang Xueming looked at Zhao Xue with a hint of guilt in his eyes, "This year."
"Zhuang Xueming told you about the fake marriage, did you agree?" Ye Chi asked Zhao Xue.
Zhao Xue pursed her lips, looking aggrieved and somewhat helpless. "I agree. Zhou Cheng is Xueming's savior, and also my savior. Tong Lu is pregnant with Zhou Cheng's child and needs help. I have to help her no matter how difficult it is."
Zhuang Xueming was moved by what she said and moved his fingers to hold her hand, but when he thought of so many people in the room, he gave up the idea.
"Were you standing on Tong Lu's left or right?"
Ye Chi's question was quite jumpy. Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment before she said, "Left, left."
Ye Chi: "Are you sure?"
Zhao Xue thought about it, then said, "Sure."
"Why did you and Tong Lu go to Gu Yimin's store?" Ye Chi asked again.
Zhao Xue: "I want to sell some clothes."
“Where are you planning to sell it?”
"In the military area."
"Where in the military district?"
This time, Zhao Xue thought for a while before saying, "We plan to go to the west gate of the staff quarters."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chi immediately asked, "Have you told the neighborhood committee of the family compound?"
"No, no."
"You saw Gu Yimin push Tong Lu with that hand."
Zhao Xue was still thinking about the loophole in her answer to the previous question. She asked Tong Lu to go with her to Gu Yimin's store under the pretext of getting goods, with the intention of taking the opportunity to kill the baby in Tong Lu's belly and put the blame on Gu Yimin.
Taking the clothes to sell was just an excuse. How could she think of where to sell them, let alone tell the neighborhood committee.
When Ye Chi asked this question, she subconsciously wanted to lie, but when she thought that Ye Chi might go to the neighborhood committee to confirm, she immediately changed her words.
So if Ye Chi asked her why she didn’t tell the neighborhood committee, how should she answer?
But who knew that Ye Chi didn't ask this question, but asked which hand Gu Yimin pushed Tong Lu with. The question was too jumpy, and she was a little flustered. She said that seeing Gu Yimin push Tong Lu was a frame-up, so how did she know which hand pushed her? Zhao Xue's hands began to tremble, and her voice trembled a little, "Left, left hand, not right hand."
"Where are you pushing? The back or the waist?" Ye Chi asked quickly again.
Zhao Xue was even more flustered. She was very nervous when she pushed Tong Lu and pushed her randomly. Now she didn't know where she pushed her.
Anyway, at that time, besides her and Gu Yimin, there was only Gu Xueqiang.
Gu Xueqiang is Gu Yimin's cousin. She insisted that everything Gu Xueqiang said was false and that he was only saying it to help Gu Yimin, so no one else would believe Gu Xueqiang.
Thinking about the time when I answered the left hand just now, I was a little hesitant, which was not good for her. I must not hesitate this time.
After figuring out the key, she said, "Waist, she pushed the waist."
Ye Chi looked at Tong Lu, and Tong Lu said, "Someone pushed my back at that time."
Zhao Xue only thought of Tong Lu, the person involved, now. She was only thinking about how to frame Gu Yimin and forgot about Tong Lu.
What should I do now?
"Yes, yes, I forgot." Zhao Xue said in a panic.
Tong Lu sneered, "Actually, I was pushed on the waist."
"I...I don't remember," Zhao Xue looked at Tong Lu and said, "I was so scared when I saw you fall, how could I remember so much?"
"Zhao Xue, my child is over five months old. She already has all the organs of a human being. She's already a little person. What you're doing is murdering people, you know? If you're not careful, you might even kill us both."
Tong Lu's words made it almost impossible for Zhao Xue to think. She had lived for more than 20 years, and although she had her own little calculations, she had never thought of killing anyone.
"Why did you push Tong Lu?"
Ye Chi asked another question, and Zhao Xue, whose brain was already confused, subconsciously said, "Her child must die."
"Zhao Xue!" Zhuang Xueming roared at Zhao Xue.
As Ye Chi asked questions one by one, Zhuang Xueming realized that Zhao Xue might have done it. But when he heard her say that Tong Lu's child must die, he was furious to the extreme.
She didn't understand how such a gentle and kind person could do such a vicious thing?
"Why? Why are you doing this?" Zhuang Xueming's eyes were burning with anger, and even the muscles on his face were twisted.
Now that the truth had been revealed, Zhao Xue didn't care anymore. She gave Zhuang Xueming a sad smile, "You ask me why? I also want to ask you, what gives you the right to ask me to agree to a fake marriage with Tong Lu? Is it because you think I'm easy to talk to? Or do you think I'm just the stepdaughter of the Zhao family and I can't find anyone better than you?"
"I...I didn't." Zhuang Xueming knew that Zhao Xue had been wronged by his fake marriage to Tong Lu, but they were going to live together for the rest of their lives, so she should accept this! He wouldn't really marry Tong Lu.
"You do," Zhao Xue said, "In fact, you subconsciously always feel that I am not worthy of you. When I am with you, I have to be careful to respond to you."
"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Xueming had never considered whether they were a good match. He truly liked Zhao Xue. But now it seemed that he was only attracted by her fake appearance.
Gu Yimin didn't want to listen to the love-hate relationship between Zhuang Xueming and Zhao Xue anymore. She looked at Ye Chi and said, "Is there nothing for me to do now? If there is nothing, I'll leave."
Ye Chi stood up and said, "I have something to say to you."
Gu Yimin was stunned. She didn't understand what Ye Chi could say to her? Apologize on Zhao Xue's behalf? It seemed like he shouldn't be the one to apologize.
However, since they had said so, she just listened to them. She stood up and followed Ye Chi out.
Luo Yongnian hadn't expected Ye Chi to talk to Gu Yimin alone, so he subconsciously followed him. But just as he was out the door, Ye Chi turned around and looked at him and said, "I have something to say to Comrade Gu Yimin alone."
