"Who told you I've lost love!" Wen Ru's emotions suddenly intensified. "Do you know how much he loved me? You think death can separate us? No, even if he dies, I will still be his beloved..."
Wen Ru's tears flowed freely. "I knew long ago that he had a hereditary disease and wouldn't live past thirty. This was the Zhan family's biggest secret. He would never have told me if it weren't to push me away."
"But I don't care. I love him. Even if he only has one day, one hour, or one second left to live, I will still love him. You should know this very well, right? When you learned that Zhan Jingting had a hereditary disease, when you learned that he wouldn't live past thirty, didn't you still stay? Didn't you also make up your mind to give him your most precious youth?"
"Finally, with my stubborn persistence, he could no longer push me away, and we fell in love. That was the happiest time of my life. We secretly dated behind the backs of the Zhan and Wen families. Although we were hiding, we were very happy."
"But the good times didn't last long. The Zhan and Wen families are of such high status, how could they not find out? The hatred between the two families is deeply rooted, and they strongly oppose us being together. We went home to beg them. I knelt for two days and two nights and almost starved to death, but I still couldn't get the Wen family to give in."
A flash of hatred crossed Wen Ru's eyes. "Do you know why I had to kill my brother? My mother had already softened her heart. No mother can bear to see her child suffer like this. My father was also a little tempted and wanted to plead with my grandfather to let me have my way. But my brother stood up and said that if the Wen family agreed first, they would be inferior to the Zhan family. The Wen family absolutely could not rush to marry their daughter into the Zhan family!"
Wen Ru burst into wild laughter, as if she had gone mad: "Hahahaha... Listen to this! This is my good older brother, a hypocritical and selfish man! Because he wants to inherit the Wen Group and can't let the Wen family lose to the Zhan family, he's willing to sacrifice my happiness. Tell me, doesn't he deserve to die!"
"In the end, he had children, while I lost my beloved and will live in pain forever. Why should I? If I don't kill him, who should I kill!"
"Qiao Wanwan, can you understand me? I just want to be with the man I love, even if his life is counting down, even if I can only be with him for a few years, I'm willing." Wen Ru cried out, tears streaming down her face, "But they won't even give me those few years!"
Qiao Wanwan sighed, "As a woman, I can imagine the pain you feel from losing your lover. It must be worse than death. But that's not a reason to kill. Even if your family members have done wrong, they don't deserve to die. Even if they are guilty, the law will judge them, not you taking the law into your own hands out of hatred."
"Well said, Madam Zhan." Wen Ru sneered. "I thought you could understand me, but I didn't expect you couldn't empathize with me either."
"Fine, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Your guesses were all correct. I killed my brother. I drugged you two beforehand, hypnotized Eleven, went into the house and killed him, and wanted to frame you."
"As for that idiot Wen Xue, I don't need to say anything. Oh, right, actually she's not that stupid. After all, she's the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and she's highly educated, you know? After she returned to China, she became like an uncultured, vulgar shrew. Besides being stimulated by unrequited love, it's also because I've been giving her drugs that make her increasingly irritable and emotionally unstable. That's why she became more and more extreme. Plus, with my whispers in her ear, she prepared a yacht and explosives to try to kill you. Everything was under my control. I just didn't expect you to be so lucky. You actually survived and were even saved by Li Xuan..."
Qiao Wanwan was shocked. "It seems you really hate every single member of the Wen family. So you're planning to kill Li Xuan and all his brothers and sisters?"
"No, they weren't involved in what happened back then, so unless there's a special reason, I won't kill them." Wen Ru wiped away her tears and said coldly, "Weren't the people who stopped me back then the ones who valued the Wen family's reputation and the Wen Group the most? Then I'll destroy them with my own hands!"
"So I killed my brother to frame you, to make Jing Ting attack the Wen family. When I couldn't frame you, I killed you. Now that you're dead, how could Zhan Jing Ting possibly let the Wen family off the hook?"
Wen Ru let out a maniacal laugh, "You think I took over the Wen Group to help Li Jing and his brother? No, I'm going to make the Wen Group die even faster!"
"You're really crazy..." Qiao Wanwan stood up, about to walk out, when suddenly the world spun before her eyes, and she slumped back onto the sofa.
Wen Ru stopped laughing and looked at her disdainfully, "Qiao Wanwan, you don't actually think that after I've told you all this, you can still walk out of here safely, do you?"
Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered something, "The spray in that secret room was poison!"
“Smart people don’t live long. You even found my secret chamber. How could I let you live!” Wen Ru sneered. “Little Divine Doctor, I know you are very capable, but unfortunately, the devil is always one step ahead. The poison in your body was personally prepared by your master, the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor. Even you can’t cure this poison.”
Qiao Wanwan struggled to the window and cried for help, "Help... Li Xuan! Help!"
"Why did you think Lixuan and Lijing would still be here?" Wen Ru shrugged. "When I discovered you had barged into my study, I quickly found an excuse to make them leave. Do you know what that excuse was?"
Qiao Wanwan didn't speak, she just looked at her.
Wen Ru burst into wild laughter, "I had my brother's grave dug up! With something like this happening, who cares about you? Hahahaha..."
"Wen Ru, you've really gone mad!" Qiao Wanwan stood by the window. "Stop it! If something happens to me here, Jing Ting won't let you get away with it!"
"I've already plotted to blow you up, why would I be afraid of Zhan Jingting?" Wen Ru arrogantly raised her chin, her face full of indifference. "I've wanted to go with him for a long time. I'm alive for revenge. I'll not only make the Wen family suffer, but the Zhan family won't be able to escape either!"
"Back then, he begged the Zhan family to let us be together, but they were just as ruthless as the Wen family. He wanted to see me one last time before he died, but they refused to grant his wish!"
"Fortunately, the Zhan family is dwindling in numbers, so I don't need to deal with them much. There's only Zhan Jingting, and you are Zhan Jingting's biggest weakness. With you in my hands, he and the Zhan family are destined to be completely under my control..."
Qiao Wanwan gripped the curtains tightly. "You want to use me to torment Jing Ting? You're dreaming! Even if I die, I won't let you use me to threaten him!"
