Chapter 98: Su Xiwei's evil scheme succeeds

~7 min read 1,230 words

After taking the police call, Su Xiyan wasn't in a hurry; anyway, it was Su Qingming's side that wanted to find her, and rushing over would only arouse suspicion.

The more she ignored Su Qingming, the less she took the bait, which only made Su Qingming more convinced that, regarding the Tieshan Su Clan and Su Yimeng impersonating her identity, she knew nothing about it.

With this distraction, Su Xiyan also didn't give a second thought to the earlier manuscript matter.

After all, it was only a manuscript, and the lab sees many students coming and going, so it being disturbed is understandable; it being taken or mistakenly tossed as trash is not impossible.

After retrieving the manuscript, Su Xiyan returned to the lab to resume her experiments.

After a whole day of work, Su Xiyan stretched wearily, a faint joy on her face.

After a day of research, Su Xiyan found that her idea could actually be realized! This made her inner feelings more eager—not only from the joy of advancing medical achievement, but also because she could help Yan Moci.

Unconsciously, in Su Xiyan's heart, Yan Moci's importance grew ever heavier.

She glanced at her watch and suddenly realized class was about to start.

Su Xiyan's almond eyes widened slightly. 'Oh no, I forgot about this.'

After quickly tidying up the lab equipment, she gathered her things and headed for the dissection lab.

Somehow, today the road to the lab seemed especially crowded.

Watching the people constantly rushing by, the noisy crowds in motion, Su Xiyan furrowed her brow, inexplicably feeling a bad premonition.

Just as she had just entered, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Yanyan! I know you resent what Aunt Feng did to you and your grandmother last time, but how could you do such a thing!"

Su Xiwei's words drew everyone's attention to Su Xiyan, and only then did Su Xiyan finally see clearly what was happening on the road.

Li Meng lay weakly in Su Xiwei's arms, appearing to have suffered a serious injury.

Su Xiwei's expression toward her was full of hatred and disbelief, yet the hidden smugness and darkness in her eyes made Su Xiyan's heart sink instantly.

She furrowed her brow, and suddenly a golden light flashed in her mind.

That manuscript she had tampered with—could it be?

Not knowing what trick Su Xiwei would pull next, Su Xiyan was quite cautious; she calmly said, 'I don't understand what you're talking about.'

Su Xiwei immediately looked indignant and questioned:

"Yanyan, Aunt Feng and I said she wants to apologize to you for what she did to you and your grandmother before."

"Afraid you wouldn't want to see her, so she came to the school to find you."

"I know you always act extreme and hold grudges; I feared that a sudden meeting with Aunt Feng would provoke your resentment."

"So, after unintentionally hearing the time Aunt Feng said she'd meet you, I secretly followed behind her."

"In case you really got into a conflict, I could mediate."

"But I never expected that, as soon as you saw Aunt Feng, you would hurl abusive words at her and even pick up a roadside stone to throw at her."

"Aunt Feng fainted on the spot, her life in danger!"

"Yanyan, even if Aunt Feng's previous methods toward you and your grandmother were somewhat radical, you two actually weren't hurt."

"Moreover, at that time Feng Yan's life was in danger; a mother being somewhat agitated is understandable."

"Now Feng Yan has recovered, she feels grateful for your life-saving grace, so she wanted to come find you to apologize, but I really didn't expect you to be so vicious in your attack!"

Upon hearing Su Xiwei's words, Su Xiyan instantly understood what scheme she was plotting.

She had vaguely known earlier that Su Xiwei had impersonated the person who saved Feng Yan's life in order to gain his favor and be with him.

But now that she had saved Feng Yan, Su Xiwei's lies collapsed on their own.

And Li Meng at first glance is someone hard to get along with; perhaps she had long disliked Su Xiwei.

That day at the hospital, she had already shown disgust toward Su Xiwei.

It would likely only get worse, and Su Xiwei, to avoid being exposed, could only think of making Li Meng disappear forever and then framing her.

Only then could she, after Feng Yan wakes up, take all the credit and peacefully become his Mrs. Feng.

It's just a pity that her scheme missed its target.

Su Xiyan curled her lip disdainfully. 'You say you saw me hit Mrs. Feng with a stone?'

Su Xiwei nodded. 'Exactly! You threw it and then ran!'

Su Xiyan: 'How do you prove it?'

Su Xiwei looked troubled, lightly biting her lower lip; after some thought she suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed,

"Right! You were wearing lab gloves at the time; if we could find the gloves you wore after moving the stone and extract fingerprints, that would prove everything!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyan furrowed her brow almost imperceptibly.

She suddenly realized that her manuscript had indeed been tampered with earlier, but the other party's goal was not her manuscript.

The manuscript likely merely confirmed her identity, while what the target truly wanted was probably her gloves after the dissection experiment!

This is very likely a carefully designed trap!

From the very beginning, Su Xiwei had already planned to kill two birds with one stone—eliminate her and Mrs. Feng!

Su Xiyan's expression grew even more cautious; the road to the experimental building at Capital University is especially secluded, always having surveillance blind spots.

And the position they are now in is exactly a surveillance blind spot.

In the situation where Su Xiwei has evidence, can provide a motive for murder, and can also serve as an eyewitness, a single misstep could really frame her.

By then, once the blame for murdering the Feng Clan matriarch is pinned on her,

The father of Li Meng from the underworld clan, the current head of Li Hall, is extremely likely to not wait for a public trial but directly send people to prison to take her life!

Su Xiyan has already noticed that some tall men unlike students have appeared around her.

These people are very likely the bodyguards Li Meng secretly planted.

Su Xiwei might think that she wants to see Li Meng; as long as it concerns Feng Yan's health, Li Meng, being arrogant and vicious, will surely come.

Even if Su Xiwei says, let her not bring bodyguards.

But Li Meng will secretly arrange people, and then everything will fall right into Su Xiwei's lap.

Su Xiyan narrowed her eyes and said, "I just came out from Su Building, and there are surveillance cameras all along the way that can prove I never appeared."

Moreover, I didn't have time to commit the crime you mentioned.

Su Xiwei sneered, "Su Xiyan, you're the Su God of Capital University; you certainly wouldn't not know that there are no surveillance cameras on this road."

You could easily have finished everything just now, then circled back via the forest path, and then pretended to have just finished the experiment and come out of Su Building.

After all, no one knows the structure of Su Building better than you, its builder!
