Mei Yanqiu's tears suddenly welled up. She glared at Shen Wanshan fiercely, then glanced at Shen Liwu who was hiding in Zhou Yanjing's arms, and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, very good! You all wait for me!"
After saying that, she turned abruptly, stumbled out of the clinic, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The clinic returned to calm again, and Shen Wanshan turned around and looked at his daughter's expressionless face, feeling very guilty.
Shen Liwu's eyelashes trembled slightly, as light as the fluttering wings of a butterfly, and she caught a glimpse of Shen Wanshan's fleeting look of guilt from the corner of her eye.
Her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of her sleeve, the temperature of her fingertips was icy cold, as if even her heartbeat was frozen.
She did not raise her eyes to look at her father, but just lowered her head and looked at the floor at her toes. The dark green tiles reflected the sunlight and hurt her eyes.
Zhou Yanjing's arms were still around her waist. Although the force was light, it carried a protective meaning that could not be ignored.
His chest was pressed against her back, and his warm breath came through the fabric of her clothes, carrying his unique calmness and peace of mind. He didn't say anything, but just stood quietly beside her, like an indestructible fortress, shielding her from all the wind and rain.
Shen Wanshan opened his mouth, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back.
His hand was suspended in the air, wanting to touch her shoulder, but he pulled it back the moment it was about to fall. There was an unconcealable fatigue and regret in his eyes, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
“Wuwu…” He finally spoke, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper grinding on wood, “I’m sorry.”
These three words were like a thin needle, gently piercing into Shen Liwu's heart. Her fingers suddenly tightened, her nails digging deeply into her palms, causing a slight pain.
She still didn't look up, but her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to restrain something.
Zhou Yanjing sensed something was wrong with her, looked down at her, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Shen Wanshan didn't continue talking, he turned and left the consulting room, and the farce ended there.
Zhou Yanjing went to the police station today and confirmed that the murderer was a man. Shen Liwu was cleared of suspicion, but the clues were broken again. He came here thinking of having lunch with Shen Liwu.
Unexpectedly, I met Mei Yanqiu in the hospital. She came up to me without saying a word and wanted to beat me up. Fortunately, he came, otherwise my daughter-in-law would definitely suffer.
"Brother Jing, why are you here? Has my sister-in-law been cleared of suspicion?"
As soon as Qi Jingnan finished speaking, Zhou Yanjing's eyes sank slightly, like waves in a deep pool, silently creating a circle of ripples.
His fingers gently stroked Shen Liwu's shoulders, as if he was comforting a frightened bird, and his voice was low and gentle: "The police investigation has yielded results. The murderer is a man."
He glanced at Jingnan and said, "I asked you to stay by your side to protect your sister-in-law, so where have you been?"
Ji Jingnan scratched his head and showed an awkward smile on his face, "I went to check some clues. The woman my sister-in-law asked me to follow, I didn't expect that someone was behind her. I was just going to go back and tell you about it."
Zhou Yanjing narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
