Chapter 241 It's my fault, hit me then...
Shen Yan looked at him, her smile fading, her eyes reddening, and she said in a low, hoarse voice, "She's really dead, I'm not lying to you..."
Seeing his suddenly serious yet sorrowful expression, Song Yanzhi felt a sudden pang of panic. Unable to believe he was telling the truth, she grabbed his clothes and slammed him against the wall, angrily demanding...
"Are you lying to me?!"
Shen Yan leaned limply against the wall, his mind slightly clearer, and told him,
"I'm not lying to you... She was captured by Zhou Ye and taken to City C the day before yesterday. She fell off a cliff and died while trying to escape that night. Her mother has already taken the police there..."
He didn't mention that he had kidnapped and tortured her, nor did he say that his father had handed her over to Zhou Ye. If he had, this man would definitely have taken revenge on the Shen family.
Now all we can do is blame it on that man.
"..."
Song Yanzhi stared intently at the man, trying to find a flaw in his deception, but he couldn't detect any lying. His fingers trembled involuntarily.
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck him on the head, leaving him somewhat dazed and confused. Nan Xia had been captured by Zhou Ye and fallen off a cliff to her death?
That's impossible.
She couldn't have just died like that.
Song Yanzhi gripped the man's shirt, but her knuckles suddenly lost their strength, and her white knuckles loosened little by little, as if all support had been removed.
The loud music in the corridor was still vibrating the floor, but all he could hear was a buzzing sound, and even Shen Yan's blurry face became unreal.
My heart felt like it had been stabbed, both painful and powerless.
Suddenly, she looked at the man in her arms and punched him hard in the face: "Bang!!! Aren't you her boyfriend? Why didn't you protect her? Why did you let Zhou Ye kidnap her?!"
If you can't protect her, why are you trying to take her from me? Shen Yan, you're a coward! *Bang!*
After saying that, he angrily punched the man in the face again.
"It's my fault, hit me..." Half of Shen Yan's face turned purplish-black instantly, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still didn't dodge, and his eyes were a little misty.
Song Yanzhi punched him in the stomach a few more times in a fit of rage, and after only a few punches, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Where exactly did the accident happen in Nanxia?" he asked in a deep voice as soon as he regained his senses.
Shen Yan wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, his mind clearing somewhat. He definitely couldn't tell him directly, otherwise he and the police would surely become suspicious.
"You should call it yourself. I only heard about it from a friend at the police station; I don't know the exact location..."
"She was arrested the day before yesterday, why didn't you go to rescue her? You didn't even go to look for her after something happened? Instead, you're here drowning your sorrows in alcohol? Shen Yan, you're a real scoundrel!"
Song Yanzhi angrily punched him in the face again, threw him on the ground like trash, turned around and quickly left, took out his phone and dialed his cousin directly.
Didn't Aunt Nan bring the police there? He should know about this, right?
Aunt Nan must be very emotional right now, and she can't explain herself clearly.
After the call connected, a serious male voice came from the other end: "Hello, what's up?"
"Nanxia...did she really fall off the cliff?" As he asked this question, Song Yanzhi heard his own voice trembling, like a frozen steel wire, hoping that it could give him a glimmer of hope.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "...You know about this? Who told you?"
"It's Shen Yan. Tell me first, have you found Nan Xia? Is she alright?!" Song Yanzhi gripped his phone tightly, his voice trembling slightly as he asked again.
“We searched these mountains all day and only found a torn piece of cloth from her clothes at the foot of the cliff, as well as… bloodstains and drag marks. We haven’t found her body yet, but we did find traces of wild wolves in these mountains…” Song Che told him the truth.
His words were like a dull knife, slowly cutting into Song Yanzhi's heart.
She stumbled back, her back slamming against the cold corridor wall before she could regain her balance. Her mind was filled with images of Nanxia arguing with her in the past—
I don't believe she's really dead.
No, it won't.
"Is it possible that she was rescued?"
Song Yanzhi suddenly spoke, his voice a bit harsher than before. He raised his hand and pressed hard on his throbbing temples, as if trying to suppress those chaotic thoughts.
"That's also possible... after all, her body wasn't found."
Song Che didn't want to discourage him, so he went along with his words and comforted him in the same way. He also comforted Nanxia's mother in the same way. Sometimes it's necessary to give people a little hope.
Nan's mother was crying her eyes out here.
Upon hearing his words, Song Yanzhi grasped at a lifeline and asked excitedly, "Have you searched among the nearby residents?"
"Not yet, I'm planning to ask tomorrow," Song Che said.
"I'm taking people over there now!" Song Yanzhi said in a deep voice, preparing to hang up the phone, when his cousin suddenly asked, "Didn't you break up with her and were about to marry another woman? Why are you suddenly so interested in her again?"
Song Yanzhi paused, then sneered, "None of your business?"
“If your fiancée finds out you’ve come to see your ex-girlfriend, won’t she be furious with you? I think you shouldn’t come. You’re about to get married, there’s no need for that. I’ll take some people to visit her here,” Song Che said.
How could Song Yanzhi possibly be in the mood to marry another woman? The only person he has ever loved is Nan Xia, and now that her fate is unknown, his heart feels completely empty.
He was filled with regret; he shouldn't have given her to another man, shouldn't have ignored her. He'd had a bad feeling these past few days, yet he'd stubbornly refused to speak to her—
"I'll cancel the wedding with her." He said in a deep voice and hung up the phone. He had already walked out of the clubhouse, gotten into his car, and said, "Go back to the Song family's old house, hurry up."
"Yes." The bodyguard responded and immediately started the car and drove off. The Song family's old residence was also in the city, a luxurious villa area of several thousand square meters. The people living here were all rich and powerful, with only about thirty households. The villa was surrounded by private gardens.
Forty minutes later, Mrs. Song was sitting on the living room sofa, wearing a face mask and watching TV, while her husband sat next to her, looking at the news on his phone.
The two men saw a car driving in and turned to look. Their son had actually come back? What could have brought him back so late?
"That boy never likes to come back to keep us company. Every time he comes over, it's because he has something to do. I wonder what's going on tonight?" Madam Song sneered.
"It must be about the wedding." The wedding is in about ten days. The invitations have already been sent out, and the church and hotel have been booked. It seems like there's nothing else to prepare.
As the couple were talking, Song Yanzhi walked in and his first words were, "Let's cancel my wedding with Gu Xiaoxing."
"You were the one who said you were getting married. The whole country knows you're getting married to her. The invitations have already been sent out. And now you're saying you're canceling? Don't tell me it's because of that Nan Xia again?!" Song Jinchen looked at his son with a deep gaze, his tone somewhat angry.
