Chapter 89 Wanwan, do you remember?
Lu Tingzhou's voice was cold, clearly distinguishing her from Kaikai.
The smile on Song Xinran's face suddenly froze.
Why would he suddenly ask this?
"Yes...I met him by chance at a banquet after I returned home."
She forced herself to calm down and spoke every word carefully.
"Because I know she's your sister-in-law, I... I respect her especially."
When Lu Tingzhou heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which revealed a cold mockery.
"Really?"
He didn't want to play around with her anymore.
All my patience has long been exhausted.
"Then what about the one million that Sun Meixi transferred to your account four years ago?"
This sentence was like thunder from a clear sky, causing Song Xinran to tremble.
She felt like she was struck by lightning and her mind went blank.
he……
He actually checked her out.
Why are you suddenly checking what happened four years ago?
"I...I don't know..."
Song Xinran held the bag tightly in both hands and tried to calm herself down.
"Back then, there was an antique in my family that I wanted to sell for one million. I had no idea who the buyer was. So, does that mean it was my sister-in-law?"
She had rehearsed this lie in her mind countless times, and she still felt guilty when she told it out loud.
Lu Tingzhou glanced at her.
There was no warmth in that look, and it was impossible to tell whether he believed it or not.
He didn't say anything else.
He just turned his gaze back to Kaikai in his arms.
Song Xinran dug her nails into her palms and didn't dare to say another word.
That idiot Sang Wan should have gone to the western suburbs.
Seeing that it was about time, she politely took Kaikai from Lu Tingzhou's arms.
"Tingzhou, Kaikai has already delayed you for quite a while. He will stop nagging you at night after seeing you. We won't disturb you from working."
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would say more and make more mistakes.
The oppressive feeling from Lu Tingzhou made her feel that she would be exposed at any time.
Moreover, she had to tell Sun Meixi as soon as possible about Lu Tingzhou's investigation into her. If he found out something, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She stumbled into the underground garage holding the child, got into her car, and hurriedly dialed Sun Meixi's number.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Lu." Song Xinran's voice was sharp and panicked, with a trembling after surviving a disaster.
"Lu Tingzhou became suspicious. He...he found out about the money you gave me four years ago."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and the voice was not nervous. "Why are you panicking? Don't you have a reason? What can he find out if there is no evidence?"
Song Xinran's voice softened a little, "Sang Wan has already gone to the western suburbs. Should we continue with our plan?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Mrs. Lu, we must be careful about this matter. If Sang Wan gets into trouble, Lu Tingzhou will definitely investigate. Then..."
Song Xinran was afraid. If something happened to Sang Wan, Lu Tingzhou would definitely investigate it thoroughly because he valued her so much. Sheng An died four years ago and there was no evidence, but now she was afraid that this time would be as smooth as last time.
Because she has been at a disadvantage recently.
“Stop.”
Sun Meixi's voice finally came, obviously after careful consideration.
Using her grandfather's case to lure her to the Western Suburbs Warehouse can make use of Liu Zhiqiang, but it is not foolproof.
The good luck you had four years ago may not come back again.
"Song Xinran, we may not be as lucky as we were four years ago. Stop all your plans immediately."
"I see."
Neither of them was stupid, and Lu Tingzhou's question was obviously a warning.
If you are not careful at this time, you will step into the abyss.
The situation is very clear. Song Xinran has no hope, and Lu Tingzhou will not give up on Sang Wan.
No matter how unwilling they are, they cannot gamble everything.
"Push everything onto Xu Mingyue and that nurse, and tell Xu Mingyue to shut up."
Sun Meixi hung up the phone.
Song Xinran immediately called Song Ziqian.
An open-air cafe in the city center.
Under the exquisite parasols, the air is filled with the rich aroma of coffee and the fragrance of desserts.
Xu Mingyue used a small silver spoon to slowly and methodically stir the cappuccino in front of her, and the heart-shaped pattern on the latte art was shattered into pieces by her.
"Sister Ziqian, you are still the smartest."
Her face was filled with unconcealable pride and flattery.
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone is a much cleaner move than doing it ourselves."
Song Ziqian picked up the bone china cup and took a sip elegantly. A little milk foam stained her red lips, which she gently wiped away with her fingertips.
"Thank you very much for that."
Her tone held a hint of condescending approval.
"If you hadn't told me that your father had the nurse as a pawn, how could we have come up with this idea to deal with her?"
Xu Mingyue smiled, with undisguised jealousy in her eyes.
"She's made me so poor that I don't even have money to buy a bag. How can I expect her to have a good life? She doesn't deserve the Lu family's status. When she loses her child and her reputation is ruined, I wonder if Lu Tingzhou will still want her."
"In a few minutes..." Song Ziqian glanced at her watch, a cruel arc appearing at the corner of her lips, "It's time to say goodbye to that little bastard in her belly."
The silver spoon made a crisp sound when it collided with the bone china cup wall.
Just then, Song Ziqian's cell phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she frowned slightly and picked up the phone.
"Hey, sis."
Song Xinran's hurried and suppressed voice came from the phone.
"The plan is cancelled, Ziqian, have them stop immediately."
The smile on Song Ziqian's face froze instantly.
"What did you say?"
She couldn't believe her ears.
"Stop now, are you crazy? Sang Wan has already gone to the western suburbs."
Xu Mingyue also noticed something was wrong and came over with a look of nervousness on her face.
Song Ziqian covered the microphone and yelled at Song Xinran impatiently:
"The arrow is on the string, how can we stop it? This is a perfect match. That Uncle Liu will take all the blame and we won't be able to find out!"
Xu Mingyue nodded repeatedly and added eagerly:
"Yes, Uncle Liu's youngest son is in the hands of my friend. If he wants to take the money, it's his son. He knows what's important."
Song Xinran on the other end of the phone could only roar weakly.
"Stop when I tell you to."
And Song Ziqian had already hung up the phone.
She looked at Xu Mingyue, and there was the same madness and cruelty in their eyes.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
***
On the way to the western suburbs warehouse.
Sang Wan followed the navigation and entered a narrow road that was not very wide and had only two lanes.
Because she was in a hurry, her driving speed was not too slow. On both sides of the road, there was a desolate scene that was constantly receding.
The only sound in her world at this moment was the car engine.
The navigation showed that if I turned left at an intersection and drove another 500 meters, I would reach the abandoned warehouse.
She turned on the turn signal and turned the steering wheel to the left.
At this moment, a small truck without license plates drove towards her without warning.
Time is infinitely stretched at this moment.
Sang Wan's pupils suddenly constricted.
She had no time to think, her body's instinct overwhelmed everything.
She didn't protect her head, but grabbed the velvet pillow on the passenger seat like lightning, and used all her strength to block it against her lower abdomen.
"Bang——"
A deafening sound.
Metal tore and glass shattered.
The violent impact caused her to slam hard against the steering wheel.
The strong smell of blood instantly filled the entire nasal cavity.
Through the cracked windshield, she vaguely saw a man coming out of the pickup truck that caused the accident and slowly approaching her.
The scene before my eyes became blurry and even the sound disappeared.
…
Sang Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the dazzling white ceiling of the hospital.
Is she still alive?
She moved her fingers, and a warm, dry big hand immediately wrapped her tightly.
She tilted her head.
It’s Lu Tingzhou.
The man sat on the edge of the bed. His custom-made suit was now wrinkled, his hair, which was always meticulously groomed, was a little messy, and there was a blue stubble on his chin.
Those deep eyes, filled with terrifying red bloodshot, were staring straight at her, filled with overwhelming sorrow, endless fear, and... an overwhelming sense of self-blame.
"You're awake."
His voice was very hoarse.
If it weren't for Song Xinran, if it weren't for Kaikai...
He only needs to glance at his phone, pick up the call...
She won't face all this alone.
This thought, like a barbed knife, stirred repeatedly in his heart, torturing every nerve in him.
Sang Wan looked at him.
Looking at the self-blame in his eyes, suddenly.
Her head was buzzing as if it was pierced by a steel needle. In the severe pain, countless dusty and broken images came flooding back.
My mother's car accident.
There was a sharp crash, and under the deformed front of the car, lay the mother covered in blood.
Lu Tingzhou, his face covered in blood, struggled to get out from the back seat of the car and stretched out his hand towards her who was already terrified.
Calling her name over and over again.
"Wanwan, Wanwan...don't be afraid..."
But there was another voice in her ear, "This guy did it on purpose. He was such a grown man standing there, why didn't he brake and just crashed into it. It's so tragic."
"Yes, I saw that too."
Sang Wan held her head with her hands in pain, tears streaming down her face.
"Wanwan!"
Lu Tingzhou was shocked, thinking that she was not feeling well, and immediately stood up to press the call bell.
"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? You don't feel well."
Sang Wan grabbed his wrist with astonishing strength.
She stared at him, her pale little face full of tears.
"Lu Tingzhou..."
"Why did your car's brakes fail at that moment? That was my mother. She went to Jing City just to see you."
With just these simple words, Lu Tingzhou froze in place.
"Wanwan, do you remember?"
His voice was trembling because of uncertainty and even more because of fear of losing her.
Lu Tingzhou held Sang Wan's hand tightly, "I didn't mean to do that. There was a problem with the car's brakes, and I was forced into a corner by a large truck, so..."
"I want to be alone."
Sang Wan's mind was in a mess. His mother's body was lying under his car, and it was he who opened the door and came out.
The image in her mind was hard for her to accept for a moment.
"Wanwan..."
Qi Qi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lu, please go back first. Wanjie just woke up, let her calm down."
