"sorry……"
Xie Chen's repeated apologies echoed in Fu Bai's ears.
Fu Bai said nothing, but gently patted Xie Chen's back.
After a while, Xie Chen's out-of-control emotions finally calmed down. He still held Fu Bai tightly, as if he wanted to integrate the other person into his own bones and blood.
“I’m sorry,” Xie Chen looked up, gazing into the pale fox-like eyes, and said with unwavering determination, “but I will not let go.”
It was obvious that both the drugged drink splashed on Fu Bai and the silver-ringed snake were Jiang Qi's doing.
But is Jiang Qi the real culprit?
Xie Chen and Fu Bai were well aware of this; Jiang Qi was merely a scapegoat put forward by Chen Lan.
Chen Lan possesses the ability to bewitch people. He stirs up the resentment and hostility towards Fu Bai hidden within Jiang Qi, then amplifies these emotions and makes suggestive remarks to Jiang Qi.
Xie Chen was all too familiar with this tactic. Ever since he met Chen Lan, Chen Lan had been using this method to achieve her goals.
Over the years, anyone who got close to Xie Chen or anyone Chen Lan disliked was targeted in this way.
Chen Lan doesn't need to take action himself, so even if something happens, he can remain unnoticed.
When Xie Chen learned that Chen Lan actually wanted to kill Fu Bai, he felt more guilt than anger—all the harm Fu Bai had suffered was because of him.
Just like a mother.
It was precisely because his mother always supported him in doing what he liked that he repeatedly did things that hurt himself under Chen Lan's influence.
That's why Xie Chen's emotions collapsed at that moment, and he kept apologizing to Fu Bai.
But Xie Chen was mentally strong, and his breakdown was only momentary; his reason quickly prevailed.
I pulled myself out of my low and depressed mood.
He was sincere in saying sorry to Fu Bai, and he was also sincere in not letting Fu Bai leave.
Fu Bai was the person Xie Chen decided on at first sight, and his feelings for Fu Bai came intensely and naturally.
It's only natural to like and love Fu Bai.
There was only one person in the world who could evoke such intense emotions in him. If he lost that person, Xie Chen felt that the rest of his life would be like a stagnant pool.
Therefore, he will not let go.
Never.
Xie Chen stared intently at Fu Bai, his dark eyes conveying his unwavering emotions, which resonated deep within Fu Bai's heart.
Fu Bai raised his hand, cupped Xie Chen's face, and suddenly smiled.
He held Xie Chen's hand with his other hand.
Xie Chen immediately interlocked his fingers with Fu Bai's and held them tightly.
Fu Bai kissed Xie Chen's lips: "Then let go."
Xie Chen smiled, his bright eyes clearly reflecting Fu Bai's appearance.
Fu Bai really liked Xie Chen's eyes. He gently stroked Xie Chen's eyelids with his thumb and suggested, "After the filming is over, take me to meet your mother."
Xie Chen paused slightly, his eyes flickered, and then he said heavily, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to kiss her pale lips.
That night, the two did nothing.
But Xie Chen was more clingy than ever before. After returning to bed, he not only held Fu Bai tightly in his arms, but also kissed him from time to time.
Fu Bai was so sleepy that he couldn't stay awake any longer. He raised his hand and gently slapped Xie Chen's head away, muttering, "I'm sleepy, don't bother me."
Xie Chen kissed the pale palm of her hand, then held her slender, fair hand in his own before closing his eyes and going to sleep.
I slept soundly through the night, and dawn broke in the blink of an eye.
Today is the last day of filming for "Expired Lovers".
Everyone received a message from the production team to gather in the living room of the villa.
Jiang Qi, however, did not come down for a long time.
The director then appeared and explained the reason for Jiang Qi's absence: "Jiang Qi had to go back first, and she will not participate in the recording from now on."
The director's expression remained unchanged, revealing no other emotions, and it was unclear whether Jiang Qi had truly left ahead of time.
Jiang Qi didn't leave on business; she was taken away by the police around 6 a.m.
748 said in Fu Bai's sea of consciousness.
It had been eyeing the person who wanted to harm Fu Bai, so while Fu Bai was still asleep, it secretly mobilized its energy to lock onto Jiang Qi and observe her every move.
Last night, after everyone returned to the villa, they were ordered to stay in their own rooms and not go anywhere.
Jiang Qi seemed flustered, perhaps because she felt guilty, and even after returning to her room, she remained restless.
Shu Changchang had probably already guessed that Jiang Qi had released the silver-ringed snake, and seeing the other party's expression, she was even more certain.
Under these circumstances, Shu Changchang was completely heartbroken by Jiang Qi. She saw his restless state but said nothing, and went to sleep under the covers.
The atmosphere in the villa was somewhat oppressive that night.
The production team and the police investigating the case didn't sleep all night, watching all the footage captured by the cameras and video cameras over and over again.
I just want to find footage of the banded krait entering a safe area.
Hard work pays off.
Finally, the police found a scene that could be used as evidence in a security camera in a small corner of the garden.
As luck would have it, the camera captured Jiang Qi taking the silver ring snake out of the glass jar from the side.
The evidence is now conclusive.
The venomous snakes were brought in by Jiang Qi, and the drug that attracts and incites venomous snakes to become agitated was also placed by Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi did indeed intend to harm Fu Bai through this method.
This is a serious crime of attempted murder. After the police identified the murderer, they immediately took Jiang Qi away.
