Chapter 207 Wrath
What used to be a journey of less than twenty minutes felt incredibly long this time.
She didn't even dare to cry anymore, and could only try to conserve her energy.
Although Song Yanshen is young and used to be thin, he is still an eight-year-old child. In addition, Zhang Chunxue has been feeding him well for the past two months, so he has grown taller and heavier.
When she returned to the gate of her own yard, Zhou Mingli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What she feared most was that Zhong Chengren would leave in a bad mood and then come back to attack her. Now that he was at her doorstep, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out her key and opened the courtyard gate. Without even bothering with the stroller, she immediately ran to Song Yanshen's room, first placing Zhong Yuanyuan by the bedside before carefully putting Song Yanshen down.
Song Yanshen is still unconscious.
When the light was turned on, Zhou Mingli noticed that Song Yanshen's face was pale.
She checked Song Yanshen's body again to make sure he had no other external injuries.
Her legs went weak, and she sat down on the floor beside the bed, bursting into tears.
What just happened was extremely dangerous; Zhou Mingli was utterly devastated at the time.
Zhou Mingli cried for an unknown amount of time until she finally released her fear and sat up in bed, only to find that Zhong Yuanyuan had already fallen asleep.
Zhou Mingli then remembered that she still had to cook dinner.
But as soon as she stood up, she slumped back down.
Her legs were as weak as noodles, she was feeling palpitations, and even her lips were numb.
Just then, she heard Zhang Chunxue's voice coming from outside.
"Huh? Why is the stroller outside the gate? Where's Mingli?"
"Could something have happened?" Song Xingzhi's voice was very serious. "The kitchen light is also off..."
"The light in Xiao Shen's room is on..."
As if injected with courage, Zhou Mingli immediately stood up and stumbled as she ran outside.
"mom……"
She felt that her voice was dry and extremely weak.
When Zhou Mingli saw Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi standing at the gate of the courtyard, she seemed to find her voice again, crying and calling out, "Mom!"
Zhang Chunxue was taken aback at first, then jumped off the tricycle and ran in: "Mingli?"
She hugged Zhou Mingli tightly, who practically threw herself into her arms, asking, "What's wrong, Mingli? What happened?"
Seeing Mingli like this, how could she not know that something was wrong!
Zhou Mingli wanted to speak, but she burst into tears, crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath and couldn't say a word.
Zhang Chunxue also noticed that something was wrong with her current state and immediately gave Song Xingzhi a wink.
Song Xingzhi parked his bicycle and immediately went to Song Yanshen's room.
Seeing the unconscious Song Yanshen and Zhong Yuanyuan, who had been awakened by Zhou Mingli's crying, he frowned and immediately picked up Zhong Yuanyuan and patted her.
"It seems something has happened to Xiao Shen." His voice was low.
Otherwise, with Zhou Mingli crying so hard, he wouldn't still be lying in bed unconscious.
Zhang Chunxue patted Zhou Mingli on the back: "It's okay, it's okay, Mom's back..."
Zhou Mingli cried for a while, but perhaps the comfort of being in Zhang Chunxue's arms gave her enough security, and she finally stopped crying.
"What exactly happened?" Zhang Chunxue helped her into Song Yanshen's room.
Song Xingzhi immediately pulled up a chair.
Zhang Chunxue glanced at Song Yanshen; his eyes were closed, and he was definitely not in a good state.
Zhou Mingli held Zhang Chunxue's arm tightly, unwilling to let go. After calming herself down, she began to recount what had happened to them that evening.
As Zhang Chunxue listened, her face grew increasingly gloomy and terrifying.
Zhong Chengren!
That damned Zhong Chengren!
Song Xingzhi's situation was even worse than hers; his eyes were practically brimming with lightning!
Everything was arranged, wasn't it? How could something like this still happen!
Zhou Mingli was still crying, her voice filled with guilt: "Mom, it's all my fault... I shouldn't have breastfed on the way... I should have waited until we got home to breastfeed... If it weren't for me..."
Zhou Mingli had only just realized this, and she was almost overwhelmed by immense guilt.
If something really happened to Song Yanshen, she really couldn't forgive herself.
“It’s not your fault,” Zhang Chunxue’s voice was icy, “it’s that beast’s fault!”
Seeing that Zhou Mingli was still shaking her head, Zhang Chunxue had no choice but to explain the situation to her step by step.
"Think about it, how could Zhong Chengren possibly know that you would breastfeed Yuanyuan on the way? How would he know when Yuanyuan would be hungry?"
“He’s been following you the whole time. Even if you don’t stop to breastfeed, he’ll find a chance… You could even say that by stopping to breastfeed, you saved Xiao Shen!”
Zhou Mingli looked up at Zhang Chunxue, puzzled.
Zhang Chunxue continued her analysis: "You said that beast was carrying a knife, so he was already prepared to harm you... If you didn't stop, how could Zhong Chengren force you to stop?"
"Then what's the best way? It's to just stab Xiao Shen to death, that way we'll make an example of him and you won't dare to resist!"
"But since you've heard it all, you and Xiao Shen have broken up, so he doesn't need to kill anyone. He just needs to secretly knock Xiao Shen unconscious and then steal your money!"
Zhou Mingli was stunned.
Song Xingzhi also gently comforted her, "Sister Chunxue is right. According to Zhong Chengren's thinking, that is indeed the case."
"Think about it, it would be better for Zhong Chengren if he could avoid killing someone, after all, robbery and murder are not the same crime!"
“I think he probably didn’t intend to hurt you at first. Your act of scattering money angered him... or rather, he felt that he had wasted his time, and that he was extremely vulnerable to being cornered after he had just finished picking up the money, since you had called for backup after running away. So he wanted to kill you, so that he would at least have time to pick up the money and leave…”
He stroked Zhong Yuanyuan's head again: "But...maybe he still has a little bit of fatherly love for Yuanyuan!"
After hearing about Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi's paintings, Zhou Mingli finally felt a little relieved of the heavy burden in her heart.
These weren't just Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi comforting Zhou Mingli; they were simply stating the obvious.
Zhong Chengren wanted money, and he carried a knife because he was prepared for the worst. But since Zhou Mingli and the others stopped, he didn't need to kill anyone. He could just knock Song Yanshen unconscious and then force Zhou Mingli to do something.
but!
The thought that Zhong Chengren could do such a heinous thing made Zhang Chunxue's anger rise.
Song Xingzhi was no exception.
He had someone set Zhong Chengren up, but when he set him up, he deliberately avoided discovering this kind of thing, so how did it still happen?
