Chapter 120 Conclusive Evidence
In her mind, Xu Zixuan's little face covered in "blood" in the video appeared again, and the miserable cry echoed over and over again.
Her heart seemed to be torn apart by two hands in opposite directions.
The pain was so severe that she couldn't breathe.
"I……"
She opened her mouth, but her throat felt like it was clogged with cotton and no sound came out.
Sang Wan on the other end of the phone seemed to have lost his patience.
"It seems that you still don't care enough about your precious son."
"In that case, the only option is to throw your son into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the sharks."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Lin Lan finally broke down. She screamed and tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.
She closed her eyes, as if she had used up all her strength.
The secret that she had buried deep in her heart, which she could not even mention even if it rotted and stank, was finally squeezed out from between her teeth, word by word.
"It's...it's Xu Shiming."
Her voice was shaking badly.
"The car accident your mother Sang Jingchu had four years ago...wasn't an accident."
"It was Xu Shiming... He planned it himself."
Sang Wan's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened.
Lin Lan knew that since Sang Wan had set her sights on this matter, she would not let it go easily. She knew about Wei Qiang and the truth could no longer be concealed.
"My mother found out about you?" Sang Wan asked back, biting her lip.
"Your grandfather suddenly collapsed, and she found evidence that Xu Shiming embezzled public funds and was going to hand it over to the police."
"Xu Shiming was scared, so he... he decided to do it once and for all..."
Sang Wan sneered, "This is all Xu Shiming's attention. It has nothing to do with you, right?"
Lin Lan fell silent immediately, feeling extremely guilty.
How could she not be involved? It was her suggestion to get rid of Sang Jingchu.
If the old man falls and Sang Jingchu dies, the Sang family will all belong to them.
Xu Shiming was bewitched by her, greed and evil thoughts began to grow in his heart.
While Sang Jingchu was in Beijing, he and Lin Lan planned this car accident.
But I didn’t expect that it would happen with Lu Tingzhou’s car breaking down.
So the car they arranged did not hit Sang Jingchu directly.
He can't push this matter away just because he wants to. Sang Jingchu's death will definitely be re-investigated.
Xu Shiming is already in the police station. He wishes he were dead, so how could he not drag himself down with him?
Lin Lan's voice lowered and was filled with fear.
"Your mother...also found out about Xu Shiming and I..."
"I also know that Xu Shiming replaced your grandfather's blood pressure medication with vitamins in advance."
"Your grandfather discovered Xu Shiming's embezzlement of public funds, and...he also caught me having an affair with him. That's why...he was so angry that he collapsed."
All the truths were torn open in blood at this moment.
In the quiet ward, the only sound was Lin Lan's suppressed, desperate sobs.
On the other end of the phone, Sang Wan didn't speak for a long time.
There was only cold, deathly silence.
It was so quiet that Lin Lan could even hear her own heartbeat, which was rapid and disorderly due to fear.
“Tick…tick…”
Every tick of the second hand of the wall clock was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
Sang Wan didn't hang up the phone.
But that silent silence is more frightening than any hysterical questioning.
a long time.
It lasted so long that Lin Lan thought she would suffocate in this torture, when a muffled "bang" sound was heard.
Then, it was Qi Qi's voice, "Sister Wan."
The call was hung up.
A busy tone sounded, and Lin Lan's strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, and she collapsed on the hospital bed.
…
Jingyuan.
The phone slipped from Sang Wan's fingers and fell on the soft wool carpet.
The bone-chilling coldness rushed into Sang Wan's limbs and bones, and instantly invaded his heart.
Her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The truth, this is the truth.
She had long guessed that her grandfather's collapse and her mother's unjust death were all related to Xu Shiming.
But she never expected that the truth would be so unbearable and vicious.
Change the dressing.
He had actually started planning long ago and replaced his grandfather's blood pressure medication with vitamins.
This was a plan to kill my grandfather.
My grandfather treated him sincerely, promoted him step by step, and even handed the company over to him.
And he...
How can human hearts be so cruel?
How could he do that?!
"Wanjie?"
Qi Qi took a worried step forward and carefully supported the staggering Sang Wan.
"Wanjie, are you okay?"
Sang Wan's face was as pale as a piece of paper, completely devoid of blood.
Qi Qi looked distressed and said quickly: "Sister Wan, don't worry, I recorded every word Lin Lan said just now."
"The evidence is irrefutable. Xu Shiming and Lin Lan, neither of them can escape."
Sang Wan's empty eyes finally showed some focus.
She slowly raised her hand and grasped Qi Qi's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into the flesh.
"Yes, none of them...can escape."
Her voice was soft and hoarse, filled with unbreakable coldness and hatred.
***
Sang Wan didn't know how she got back to the bedroom.
The lunch that Liu Ma had carefully prepared was delicious, but she couldn't swallow a single bite.
My stomach was churning, as if it was being stirred by an invisible hand.
She buried herself heavily in the soft big bed and covered herself from head to toe with the quilt.
In the darkness, the bloody truths completely submerged her like a tide.
After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
The sound of steady footsteps came from far away.
The mattress sagged slightly.
Lu Tingzhou is back.
In the hall, Qi Qi had already played for him the recording that was enough to send Lin Lan and Xu Shiming to hell.
After listening to this, the man said nothing.
But that handsome face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it.
The air pressure around him was terrifyingly low.
When I walked into the bedroom and saw Sang Wan lying quietly, the coldness on her face gradually disappeared.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Sang Wan curled up in a small ball under the quilt, his eyes gloomy and filled with unrelieved heartache.
He stretched out his long arms and without any hesitation, he lifted her up horizontally along with the blanket.
Sang Wan exclaimed, and the next second, she fell into a solid and warm embrace.
A familiar scent instantly enveloped her.
"Everything is as expected, don't be too sad."
Lu Tingzhou's deep voice, with soothing power, sounded above her head.
"What we have to do now is to seek justice for your grandfather and your mother."
With just one sentence, Sang Wan's tense nerves instantly found an outlet to vent.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she stretched out her arms and hugged the man's waist tightly, burying her face deeply in his warm chest.
The tears that had been suppressed for so long burst out, soon leaving a wet mark on his expensive white shirt.
"Lu Tingzhou..."
Her voice was nasal, broken and aggrieved.
"If...if I insist on sending Lin Lan to jail, your car accident will definitely be exposed, and then...you will definitely be implicated."
"Sun Meixi..."
She couldn't be so selfish.
She had already lost her home, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble on his side.
Moreover, the relationship between Lu Tingzhou and Old Man Lu had just eased, and the old man was the most saddened by the news of fratricide in the family.
Lu Tingzhou's big hand gently stroked her back, and with the other hand he lifted her chin, and his thumb gently wiped away the tears on her cheek.
His eyes were firm and deep.
"You can do whatever you want."
"Don't worry about anything, especially not on my side."
The man's voice was firm and resolute.
"Although Big Brother has repented through his actions over the years, Sun Meixi deserves the punishment she deserves."
Thinking about the past few years, she was alone, bullied by so many people, and struggled hard in the quagmire.
Lu Tingzhou's heart felt both painful and blocked.
He hated Lin Lan, Xu Shiming, and everyone who had hurt her.
Hate myself even more.
I hated myself for not seeing through all this earlier and standing behind her to protect her.
She was left alone to suffer in such a difficult environment for three whole years.
He held up her tear-stained little face and gave her a kiss tenderly.
From the forehead, to the eyelashes, to the tip of the nose.
Finally, it landed on her slightly trembling lips.
That kiss contained no lust, only endless comfort and care.
"Wanwan, don't be afraid."
"From now on, I'll be there."
***
Two days later.
After Lu Tingzhou called, Lin Hao sent all the sorted materials, including all the recordings, to the Public Security Bureau.
Xu Shiming committed intentional injury, embezzlement of public funds, and premeditated murder...
Lin Lan, accomplice.
The two of them had been in cahoots with each other twenty-five years ago, weaving a web that enveloped the Sang family.
Sang Wan rested at home for two days and looked much better.
On Lu Tingzhou's 33rd birthday, he turned down all social engagements and took Sang Wan to Beijing.
The car stopped at Ziyuan, and Lu Tingzhou helped Sang Wan get out of the car.
The villa is not very big, and the vines climbing on the corners of the walls have withered, making it look a bit desolate.
Clean and tidy, but without any worldly smell.
This is where she and Lu Tingzhou lived for two years.
Sang Wan looked at everything in front of her that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and felt a little bitter in her heart.
Lu Tingzhou took her hand and pushed open the heavy door.
“Squeak—”
In the yard, her favorite swing was still quietly there.
She asked Lu Tingzhou to install this for her after she moved in. She was as excited as a child at that time.
She sat on it barefoot and let Lu Tingzhou push her.
In her memory, the sun was warm that day, and the afterglow of the sunset carried a lingering warmth, just like her love for Lu Tingzhou at that time.
The stone tables and benches were wiped clean.
In the fish pond, several koi fish were wagging their tails leisurely.
Lu Tingzhou took her hand, walked through the courtyard and into the main house.
The furnishings and layout of the house, even the pot of green radish placed at the entrance...
Everything was exactly the same as when she left four years ago.
Time seems to have stopped here.
Sang Wan paused.
She looked around slowly and in disbelief.
My eyes started to feel hot.
he……
For these four years, he has actually kept everything here for her.
The surging emotions instantly broke down the dam of reason.
Sang Wan turned around suddenly, without saying anything, and threw herself into Lu Tingzhou's arms with all her strength.
"Lu Tingzhou..."
Thousands of words, in the end, only turned into this one name.
And the hot wetness that quickly spread across his chest.
