i Tian Sha Zi struggled to make a sound, her lips moving but no voice coming out.
Li Tianyi was sitting in a wheelchair, his upper body still able to move.
So, he grabbed the railing by the bed, leaned his upper body over the edge of i Tian Sha Zi’s hospital bed, trying to hear what she was saying.
Li Tianyi was sweating profusely from anxiety, finally managing to lean over to i Tian Sha Zi’s side.
He didn’t realize he had pressed down on i Tian Sha Zi’s oxygen tube.
i Tian Sha Zi struggled even more fiercely, and Li Tianyi said irritably, "I know you’re in a hurry, but calm down for now! I’m here, aren’t I? Just tell what you want to say, tell everything."
Li Tianyi leaned in closer, finally hearing i Tian Sha Zi’s voice.
i Tian Sha Zi said: Idiot.
The two words were clear, and Li Tianyi’s anger flared up from within.
"i Tian Sha Zi!" Li Tianyi yelled angrily.
His emotions were so intense that Li Tianyi lost his balance and fell from the edge of the bed.
His right arm hit the wheelchair, and he cried out in pain.
A nurse on her rounds pushed the door open, seeing i Tian Sha Zi’s oxygen tube had co off, and Li Tianyi had fallen.
Besides them, the room was empty.
So... she had reason to suspect the paraplegic Li Tianyi of attempting to murder i Tian Sha Zi.
Not only did the nurse see it, but He Yunlai also witnessed it and heard these discussions.
He Yunlai was so frightened that he ran ho to tell Li Xuelan about it.
He Jingjing and He Sen were playing a ga when they overheard the gossip, and they stopped playing to have a look.
"Impossible, why would Tianyi want to kill i Tian Sha Zi? Aren’t the two of them very much in love?"
He Jingjing: "Mom, you can never really know soone. Didn’t my uncle say Dad looked shifty back then, like he was looking to take a shortcut, that’s why he grovelled at your feet?"
He Yunlai: "..."
Li Xuelan: "..."
Being said about like this by He Jingjing, they were quite upset!
"He Jingjing, shut up! You’re in your thirties now, and still speaking as carelessly as a three-year-old!"
He Sen: "A three-year-old is better than her. Nowadays, a three-year-old can even beco a hacker."
Li Xuelan: "He Sen, you shut up too, you’re no good either. Living off your parents at your age, both of you are as bad as each other, don’t mock each other."
He Yunlai: "Let’s not change the subject, this is the information I found out. Li Tianyi fell, and his right shoulder was swollen. I heard he was desperately trying to crawl, wanting to remove i Tian Sha Zi’s oxygen mask."
Li Xuelan pondered, having no choice but to believe He Yunlai’s information.
"I’m going to find my elder brother and tell him about this. Let’s show our brother we didn’t return because we couldn’t make it on our own, but to help him!"
He Jingjing and He Sen curled their lips, thinking it was unnecessary fuss.
Grandfather is so smart, surely he knows such minor things.
The two of them didn’t say a word, speaking more would only result in a reprimand, it’s not worth it.
He Jingjing and He Sen continued to play their ga, shutting out everything irrelevant to them.
Li Xuelan and He Yunlai sat together, prattling on, still considering how to handle the matter better.
Finally, Li Xuelan decided to visit Li Tianyi and i Tian Sha Zi in the hospital, to see if she could find other issues.
Once she had the evidence, everything else could be dealt with.
...
Nan Qiao was unaware of the events at the hospital, she was explaining the situation to Lingzi.
Lingzi listened and cursed: Bitch, cunning as a hornet’s nest.
Nan Qiao: "..."
Seeing Lingzi’s gritted teeth, Nan Qiao could tell their relationship was really bad.
"Nan Qiao, i Tian Sha Zi must be the masked killer. She’s the only one who knows my ultimate move, she’s the one who destroyed my hope!" Lingzi’s emotions were extrely agitated.
Nan Qiao: "Calm down first. Tell more about i Tian Sha Zi. Whatever you know, tell everything."
Lingzi looked at her with confusion: "Why are you asking about the little things? Knowing those won’t help you control her!"
Nan Qiao: "I may not control her, but I can understand her better."
To defeat soone, you must first understand them.
Lingzi suddenly asked: "Then why aren’t you asking about Li Tianyi?"
Nan Qiao raised her eyebrows, which startled Lingzi a bit.
"What, you know about Li Tianyi too?"
"I don’t know! I know nothing!" Lingzi denied imdiately.
Seeing this, Nan Qiao laughed: "Don’t get anxious, I was only asking casually, look how it frightened you. Being like this, it’s easy to give the impression of a guilty conscience."
Lingzi: "..."
Lingzi said nothing more, and Nan Qiao didn’t push further, instead steering the conversation back to i Tian Sha Zi.
Lingzi spoke while Huo Siyu next to Nan Qiao took notes.
Huo Siyu typed quickly, good at summarizing, efficiently recording everything Lingzi said.
As Lingzi spoke, Huo Siyu recorded, while Nan Qiao asked questions.
Soon, the questions were done, and Huo Siyu completed the notes.
Seeing them about to leave, Lingzi called them back.
"When can I leave? Nan Qiao, will you keep to your word?"
Huo Siyu was curious why Lingzi seed so sure Nan Qiao would let her go, she seed very confident in Nan Qiao.
"Don’t worry, I keep my word, no need to worry."
Reassured by Nan Qiao’s response, Lingzi was still uneasy, never having been so uncertain in her life.
If it weren’t for Nan Qiao holding her mother’s life in her hands, she wouldn’t be a traitor.
...
Huo Siyu, holding the tablet, walked out with Nan Qiao.
"Qiaoqiao, are you really letting Lingzi go?"
"Yes, of course I am."
Huo Siyu: ?
"Release the tiger back into the wild?"
Nan Qiao washed her hands, sitting down to rest for a while.
"Before releasing a tiger back to the wild, we can first remove its sharp fangs, stripping it of its dignity and power. Once a toothless tiger is released, what will it beco?"
Huo Siyu suddenly understood; such a tiger poses no threat to them and will battle among its own kind, where the strong survive.
By then, whether Lingzi would return or not would still be unknown.
Nan Qiao took off her outer down jacket, revealing a black base layer beneath.
Huo Siyu looked at her stomach, unable to see any signs of pregnancy.
"You really need to be thin; even when pregnant, you can’t tell."
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, taking Huo Siyu’s hand and gently placing it on her belly.
Huo Siyu was puzzled, until she felt movent in her palm, as Nan Qiao’s belly shifted.
Through the fabric, against her palm, Huo Siyu’s nose tingled, her eyes turning red.
"The baby’s moving," Huo Siyu said hoarsely, both amazed and delighted.
It was so miraculous.
This wondrous feeling made Huo Siyu want to cry, thinking of the child she lost.
