Xu Tingchuan looked at Xiang Zhilan and said seriously, "Not only that, but Mu Zhi was also a victim that day. He accidentally ingested that drug, which was originally intended for me."
Xiang Zhilan was taken aback for a moment, and Xu Tingchuan continued, "Moreover, the initial target of this medicine was Sitian."
"What's going on?" Xiang Zhilan asked with concern as soon as she heard that it was directed at Si Tian.
Xu Tingchuan explained the whole story to Xiang Zhilan in detail, and finally said, "Secretary Lin died in a car accident half a month ago. As for the woman that Secretary Lin mentioned, I still haven't found out anything. So apart from this video, I have no other evidence to prove what I said. But I'm not saying all this to help Mu Zhi get away with it. I just think you need to know the whole story."
After listening to Xu Tingchuan's words, Xiang Zhilan slumped back in her chair, head bowed, unsure of what expression she should have.
The whole thing was a complete accident; Shen Muzhi mistakenly ingested the medicine and took the fall for Xu Tingchuan.
Because she was seasick, she went to the wrong room and unfortunately happened to be caught in the effects of the Twilight Potion.
The culprit who drugged her has already died in a car accident, and now she doesn't know who to blame.
Is it Xu Tingchuan's fault? If he had taken that drug and that secretary had succeeded, Sitian would have been heartbroken.
Is it Shen Muzhi's fault? He also unknowingly shielded himself from disaster, just as Xu Tingchuan said, he was also a victim.
Haha, it seems she has no choice but to blame herself for going to the wrong room.
Xiang Zhilan gave a bitter smile. If she hadn't been so confused as to mistake 516 for 518, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
"Does Shen Muzhi know about this?" she asked, biting her lip without raising her eyes.
“Yes, I already told him the next day.” Xu Tingchuan paused, then said, “I know that Mu Zhi made an irreparable mistake in this matter, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness on his behalf. I just want you to understand what happened and then carefully decide whether or not to go to Syria.”
Xiang Zhilan wasn't surprised at all that Xu Tingchuan knew about her trip to Syria; Ni Sitian must have been worried sick and told him.
What puzzled her was that Shen Muzhi knew about this, yet he didn't mention it to her at all, nor did he try to defend himself. He even said he wanted to marry her the next morning. Did he want to bear all the blame himself?
“Sitian didn’t sleep well all night. She kept checking news reports about Syria before going to bed and had several nightmares. She’s really worried about you.” Xu Tingchuan offered a few more words of comfort for Ni Sitian’s sake.
Hearing him say that, Xiang Zhilan could fully imagine how worried that silly girl would be. She looked up at Xu Tingchuan and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Sitian really married a good husband."
Originally, her trip to Syria had nothing to do with him, but for Ni Sitian's sake, he specially came to persuade her to stay. How many men would go to such lengths for their wives?
"Marrying her is my good fortune," Xu Tingchuan said, a faint, warm smile in his eyes.
Just then, Xu Tingchuan's phone rang. He answered it; it was Assistant Yu calling. After a few words, he hung up.
"You go first, I'll sit for a while longer," Xiang Zhilan said with a faint smile.
Xu Tingchuan nodded, packed up his computer, and left the coffee shop.
After watching him leave, Xiang Zhilan lowered her eyes with complicated emotions; she needed more time to process what had happened.
