Chapter 258 The Death of Wu Qingluan
The male cleaner who was engrossed in mopping the floor was actually Captain Wang.
The cleaning uniform was a little small, outlining the man's muscular chest.
Su Xi's lips twitched slightly.
"Miss Su, drink it while it's hot."
Su Xi looked at the coffee. Although she felt that Captain Wang was overthinking things, she didn't plan to drink it.
"Thank you, I'll drink it in a bit."
The secretary couldn't stay and watch, so she could only turn around and leave.
When no one was looking, Su Xi poured the cup of coffee into the trash can.
Seeing that the coffee was empty, the secretary walked into the office triumphantly and said with a smile, as if to take credit, "Manager Shen, the matter has been taken care of."
Wu Qingluan's face turned pale instantly. Su Xi was so stupid; she had no use for her skills, and her death was imminent.
Wu Qingluan watched helplessly as Shen Congxuan got up and walked towards her step by step. Her whole body began to react, and she couldn't stop feeling cold, trembling, and in pain.
But the man didn't stop walking past her; instead, he walked step by step past her to the secretary.
The secretary was still all smiles when a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and a slap landed hard on her face.
The slap was loud, like a firecracker going off.
The secretary felt like her brain had been splattered, and she was so dizzy that she almost fainted on the spot.
"You idiot, Su Xi poured out the coffee and didn't drink a drop. I asked you to do such a trivial thing, and you made her suspicious. What use are you?"
Meeting the man's sinister gaze, the secretary was terrified and shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, she smiled so brightly at me, she wouldn't suspect anything. It must be that she doesn't like coffee. I... I can get her something else."
"Get out! Don't alert them, or else..."
The man's eyes were bloodthirsty, a stark contrast to his usual gentle and refined demeanor. The secretary trembled in fear, scrambled to her feet, and fled in a panic.
Shen Congxuan looked at Wu Qingluan, "That cleaner has a problem. Fortunately, he's a male cleaner. To avoid any unforeseen complications, you go and lead Su Xi to the women's restroom. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"Okay." Wu Qingluan stood up, and as she passed the man, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
He was very strong and showed no mercy; her waist was almost broken.
"If you can't even handle this small matter, I'll cut you off piece by piece."
"To make a human pig and soak it in a wine vat is called 'bone-intoxicated'."
From the moment the man uttered his first word, Wu Qingluan trembled with fear, and eventually her entire body began to spasm and convulse.
Shen Congxuan pinched the woman's philtrum with disgust. After the woman calmed down, he personally opened the door and said, "I'll be waiting for your good news."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen."
Wu Qingluan walked out of the office and breathed heavily in the empty corridor. After several deep breaths, her heartbeat gradually stabilized.
She didn't dare delay and went straight into the office. When she saw Su Xi, she walked over arrogantly.
A shadow fell overhead, and the air was thick with unease. Su Xi frowned and looked up.
Upon seeing Wu Qingluan, her gaze flickered, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Wu Qingluan sat down next to Su Xi and looked her over as if she were a piece of merchandise.
She's so beautiful, yet Shen Congxuan ruthlessly destroyed her. If Su Xi fell into his hands, she'd probably be meeting her maker that very day. Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
"Su Xi, about your mother's car accident..."
"You don't need to say anything. I already know who it is."
Wu Qingluan smiled and said, "You're really silly. Do you really think Feng Jue did it? And Feng Jue, I thought he was so amazing, but he actually failed miserably."
But perhaps he was blinded by the fact that you were involved. He was truly devoted to you, to be stabbed in the back by the woman he loved most... tsk tsk...
You're really ruthless. I'm sure President Feng has seen your true colors this time and will completely give up on you. That's something to celebrate.
Su Xi's expression changed repeatedly. "What exactly are you trying to say? I have evidence to prove that Feng Jue did it. Don't try to scare me. I don't believe a single word you say."
"Even if he caused the car accident, your mother was rushed to the hospital, and her minor injuries turned into serious injuries that she died. So we don't know who was responsible."
Su Xi's pupils dilated sharply. She hadn't considered this possibility. If Feng Jue was only involved in the car accident, then his crime didn't warrant death. But what exactly had she done?
"Stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me, who is it? Wu Qingluan, don't forget that you are the mastermind behind my kidnapping. If I accuse you, you will spend the rest of your life in jail."
Wu Qingluan tossed her long, wavy hair. "We made a deal. If I tell you the truth, you won't pursue the matter any further. My appearance here now is naturally to tell you the truth."
"Go ahead," Su Xi said, her voice trembling slightly.
"This isn't the place to talk, let's go to the restroom." After saying that, Wu Qingluan gracefully got up and walked into the restroom in her high heels.
Su Xi calmed herself down, thought for a moment, and then went into the restroom.
Captain Wang hurriedly followed to the entrance of the women's restroom, but could not go in.
He was mopping the floor with his butt sticking out when he glanced towards the toilet door. His ears perked up.
After checking each toilet stall to make sure no one else was there, Su Xi said, "It's just you and me here, so you can talk."
Wu Qingluan glanced around, her brows furrowing. Hadn't Manager Shen said that once she led the person to the restroom, it would be over for her?
She didn't want to reveal the truth. She wanted Su Xi to die a confused and resentful death.
"Wu Qingluan, tell me quickly, who exactly tampered with the hospital?"
Seeing Su Xi's suspicion, Wu Qingluan's eyes flickered, and she could only say, "This is also related to the Feng family."
Suddenly, she seemed to see something behind Su Xi, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips. "Don't worry about the hospital matter yet. I also want to tell you that the car accident isn't as simple as it seems."
"What do you mean?"
"How can you be so stupid? Do I really have to spell it out for you? Fine, I'll take pity on your stupidity and just tell you straight."
Wu Qingluan looked behind Su Xi, her smile almost impossible to suppress. She crossed her arms smugly as she looked at Su Xi, "Whether it was the car accident or the hospital surgery, it actually had nothing to do with Feng Jue. He was framed."
Su Xi's pupils contracted sharply, and she staggered. "Tell me quickly, who is it? My patience is running out..."
"Su Xi, everything I said is true, but I'm going to make you look like a fool. Look behind you."
Su Xi shuddered, instinctively sensing danger, and goosebumps quickly spread from the soles of her feet to her entire body.
She turned around abruptly, and before her eyes everything went blurry, a hand chop came down in a flash.
A sharp pain shot through her neck, and before she could cry for help, everything went black and she fainted.
The man in black hoisted Su Xi up, went down the ladder by the window, and put her into an inconspicuous van.
Watching the van smoothly drive out of Guangyao, merge into the traffic, and finally disappear from sight, Wu Qingluan burst into wild laughter, tears streaming down her face. "Su Xi, you've finally met your match."
Wu Qingluan's laughter gradually faded, and she suddenly felt a sense of urgency, like someone who had used a slingshot to hunt down a hunting dog before cooking it.
She looked out the window; the ladder had been removed. But this was the third floor; she shouldn't die from a fall.
Just as her hand finally touched the windowsill, footsteps approached. She turned around abruptly, her pupils dilating violently.
The former secretary was looking at her with ill intent. "Miss Wu, I thought you had fallen into the toilet."
Wu Qingluan arrogantly raised her chin. "What do you want?"
"Of course I wouldn't trouble Miss Wu to come all this way; it's Manager Shen who wants to see you. You're not trying to run away, are you?"
Upon hearing that it was Manager Shen, Wu Qingluan almost lost her composure, and her breathing became rapid. She simply glared coldly at the secretary.
This secretary thinks she's hooked up with a super-rich bachelor, little does she know that her present situation could be her future. He might not even be as good as her anymore, so what's there to be so smug about?
"Please?"
Seeing the secretary's smug face, Wu Qingluan wasn't angry. In any case, her final fate would definitely be to be reduced to ashes.
Wu Qingluan snorted coldly and walked straight away in her high heels. The moment she stepped into the office, her shoulders slumped, and her heart clenched tightly.
She tiptoed over, looking at the refined and cultured man opposite her, her heart filled with fear and regret.
Finally reaching the table, Wu Qingluan's red lips trembled, and it took her a long time to find her voice, "Manager Shen, you wanted to see me?"
"right."
"What is it?" They had agreed that he would let her leave once this matter was settled, so why was this man looking for her again? But she didn't dare to question the man, and her eyes were as respectful as could be.
The man looked at her with a warm smile, but his words sent a chill down her spine.
"Shut up."
"I...I will definitely shut up." Wu Qingluan tried her best to remain calm, not even feeling the pain of her broken fingernail in her palm.
"You're a smart man. Only the dead can't reveal secrets. If I keep you alive, wouldn't I lose my refined and gentle image?"
You are the woman who has survived the longest in my care. You should feel honored.
Like a bolt of lightning splitting her in two, Wu Qingluan turned and ran. Although she knew that the entire Guangyao was under Shen Congxuan's control, she still had to escape.
She doesn't want to die here.
The moment she gripped the doorknob, a sudden, powerful force struck her scalp, almost tearing it apart.
Shen Congxuan grabbed the woman's long hair, turned her face towards him, and said in a voice so cold it was suffocating, "You actually dare to run away? You've got some nerve."
Wu Qingluan was so frightened that her whole face was trembling. She looked at Shen Congxuan in a ridiculous and eerie posture, her eyes full of pleading, "Mr. Shen... please let me go. I have already helped you deal with Su Xi. You promised me that you would let me go."
"You said yourself that you've already taken care of Su Xi for me, so what use are you?"
Wu Qingluan's pupils dilated in shock, "You...you planned from the very beginning..."
"Yes, ever since the day you walked into the office, took off your clothes, and blatantly seduced me, I've been planning to kill you to silence you."
I thought you'd just fend for yourself, or even take your own life, but I never expected you to be so resilient and shameless. Even in this state, you still have the nerve to cling to life. I have to admit, I have a tiny bit of admiration for you.
If it were anyone else, they would have been unable to endure the physical and psychological torment for more than three days and would have taken their own life.
Wu Qingluan has managed to hold out until now, still hoping to gain freedom; how naive!
It's a pity, he's long since grown tired of her. And now that he has Su Xi, he wishes this woman had never existed, so that he could still be a gentleman as before.
"You're not being honest, and you even dare to try to escape. In that case, enjoy this final feast."
Sizzle, sizzle sizzle...
