Chapter 294 The person who saved him was not Xia Mingyue
Li Jingshen's gaze at this moment was like looking at a pile of garbage. Xia Mingyue broke out in a cold sweat on her back. A gust of cold wind blew, and she shuddered uncontrollably. Her eyes were red, and she didn't know if it was from fear or the cold wind.
Now, she was like a person hanging herself, the rope had reached her neck, and the stool under her feet would kill her if someone kicked it lightly.
However, the video was not over yet, and the sound of her conversation with Song Lin could be heard from it.
——"Song Lin, if you really want to be good to me, help me get rid of Shen Zhichu. I hate her. As long as she dies, Li Jingshen will marry me..."
——"Why do you think Li Jingshen will marry you after Shen Zhichu's death?"
Hearing this, Xia Mingyue was completely panicked. Fear spread through her blood to every part of her body. Her scalp was red and even her toes were curled up and trembling.
She yelled in panic backstage: "Turn off the power."
However, it was too late. The next words on the screen came out clearly and reached Li Jingshen's ears.
——"Six years ago, Li Jingshen fell into the water and nearly died. He thought I saved him... Don't worry, it's been six years. He won't be able to find out..."
Li Jingshen clenched his fingers, which were turning white from the cold. His hard face became even colder, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.
His pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at the picture on the big screen in disbelief. However, he could no longer see anything clearly at this moment, and the only thing in his mind was Xia Mingyue's words.
"Six years ago, Li Jingshen fell into the water and nearly died. He thought I saved him..."
These words hit his heart like a heavy hammer. He was stunned, and his soul seemed to have left his shell. He stood there for a long time without any reaction.
Wasn’t it Xia Mingyue who saved him that year?
Who could that be?
Xia Mingyue also looked like she had been struck by lightning. She collapsed on the ground, and the delicate makeup on her face could not hide her guilty conscience. She staggered to her feet and shrank back in fear.
Li Jingshen was so shocked by the heavy blow that his eyes were about to burst. He grabbed Xia Mingyue's arm with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her bones. Xia Mingyue cried in pain, and the tears flowed down her cheeks and fell on the back of Li Jingshen's hand.
“Depth of field, it hurts…” She still looked so innocent and harmless that it was pitiful.
Li Jingshen moved his lips, his cold face showed no pity, only disgust, and his sinister eyes were frightening.
"Who saved me on Christmas Eve nine years ago?"
"I... I don't know..." Xia Mingyue shook her head.
She really didn't know who saved Li Jingshen. When she rushed over, Li Jingshen stared at the pearl earrings on her ears and determined that it was her who saved him.
Seeing that there was no surveillance at the scene and nothing could be found out during the investigation, Xia Mingyue simply admitted it. She kept admitting it for nine years, and Li Jingshen did not notice anything unusual. However, what she never expected was that the words she said to Song Lin on a whim would be edited into a video and released today.
Li Jingshen suddenly looked up in the direction of the second floor. That was Lu Tingchuan.
There was no doubt that the rhythm of today's situation was all caused by him. The two people's eyes met in mid-air, and the people present seemed to feel the smell of gunpowder emanating from the venue.
Lu Tingchuan walked down the stairs slowly. "Li Jingshen, are you satisfied with this "gift" I gave you on behalf of Chen Zhichu?"
Shen Zhichu...
He suddenly remembered that year when he decided to hand Shen Zhichu over to the kidnappers in order to save Xia Mingyue. That night he told Shen Zhichu that Xia Mingyue had saved him in the water.
What did Shen Zhichu say at that time?
Li Jingshen's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Shen Zhichu said: "Li Jingshen, have you ever thought that many people have pearl earrings like that? Have you ever thought that Xia Mingyue lied to you?"
No, he was so confident at the time that he thought he would not be so stupid as Shen Zhichu to admit his mistake to the person who saved him.
But now the truth before him told him that the person who jumped into the water to save him that cold night was not Xia Mingyue. His momentary amazement and the beautiful figure that he had kept in his heart had shifted from its place from the beginning.
He actually made Shen Zhichu draw blood again and again for a habitual liar. Four years of neglect caused her to develop advanced stomach cancer and lose her child. He also exchanged her for Xia Mingyue, leaving her fingers disabled and with more than a hundred wounds on her body.
Li Jingshen felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body shaking like a sieve, his face pale. The peace that had been covered up for nine years now collapsed, revealing the bloody and cruel truth. It was like a hedgehog tearing off the sharp spines used to protect itself with its mouth. Li Jingshen trembled, and suddenly a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat.
The reporters around saw the content on the big screen. Although some of the dialogues were unclear, the appearance of limited-edition footage of the fiancée at the engagement party was enough to cause a sensation.
A group of reporters reacted and surrounded him, starting to ask questions before he even got close.
Countless flashes of light shone on his face, making his pale face even more paper-colored.
Reporters fearlessly asked one tricky and harsh question after another, their aggressive attitude just like they were treating Shen Zhichu, who had just come out of the court when his father was sentenced to prison.
"Mr. Li, is the person in the video Miss Xia?"
"Excuse me, what is the relationship between your fiancée and the man in the video?"
"Did you know that your fiancée had an affair with another man?"
…
Fortunately, the security department came in time and stood in front of the reporters, keeping a safe distance from Li Jingshen.
The cell phone in his shirt suddenly vibrated, causing the skin there to go numb. Li Jingshen took out his cell phone and when he saw the number displayed, he stiffly turned his gaze towards Lu Tingchuan.
Lu Tingchuan raised his hand and shook the phone to signal him to pick it up.
When the call was connected, Lu Tingchuan asked, "Li Jingshen, are you satisfied with today's gift?"
Li Jingshen gripped the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white and it made a creaking sound.
"Do you know why I asked you to exchange Chen Zhichu for Xia Mingyue back then?" Lu Tingchuan stared at Li Jingshen's ashen face leisurely.
"Because Xia Mingyue told me in person that you care more about Shen Zhichu, and that you would be very sad if Shen Zhichu lost her arms and legs. I didn't expect that the truth would be like this... and you are not only blind but also blind in your heart to actually trade her for a woman like Xia Mingyue.
"Your fiancée didn't hesitate to cripple her own legs to act pitiful, just to win your sympathy and hand Shen Zhichu over to me. The funny thing is that you actually believed it." After saying this, Lu Tingchuan laughed.
"I never thought that there would be a day when you would be fooled by a woman."
Li Jingshen's entire brain buzzed, and his ears seemed to have suddenly lost their hearing and were buzzing.
The appearance of Shen Zhichu when he was rescued appeared in his mind again. There was not a single piece of good flesh on his body, and he was covered in blood. His eyes were empty like a dead person.
For Xia Mingyue, he almost killed Shen Zhichu and almost made her unable to wake up...
