Chapter 185: Lin Qingya is the Murderer

Cheng Huade gritted his teeth, "Chu Li."

He had clearly ordered people to manufacture an accident to intercept Chu Li, so how did he still manage to come?

The men Chu Li brought surrounded Cheng Huade.

"Cheng Huade, you dare to kidnap my people; you are courting death."

The people Cheng Huade hated most in his heart at this moment were Cheng Han, and the other was Chu Li.

He never imagined that Chu Li would secretly help Cheng Han, forcing him to have no choice but to flee from Yuncheng now.

"Chu Li." Cheng Huade was filled with extreme hatred; he grabbed Cheng Wan, pulled her in front of him, and pushed her toward a bodyguard, "Tell your men to leave and come over, otherwise I will kill Cheng Wan."

A sharp blade gleaming with cold light pressed against the side of Cheng Wan's neck, carving out a trail of blood.

"Stop." Cheng Han shed his previous composure, his entire being becoming volatile, "Don't you hurt her."

"Let Wanwan go." Chu Li's expression was extremely poor.

Cheng Huade laughed wantonly, "It seems I guessed correctly; Cheng Wan is the Achilles' heel for both of you."

He had bet correctly, and his expression became manic.

"This is truly too much fun."

Qin Yun Shu, meanwhile, was pale-faced, looking at Cheng Han in disbelief, then looking over at Cheng Wan.

Could it be that Cheng Han also... toward Cheng Wan...

"So you are the person he keeps in the depths of his heart," she muttered.

The jealousy surging in her heart overwhelmed all fear.

Her gaze darted around; no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

Cheng Huade clapped his hands, tsking in admiration, "Since that is the case, I will give you a chance to choose. Three women, each of you pick one, and I will take the one that remains."

He was entirely in the posture of watching a good show.

Cheng Han spoke immediately, "You let Cheng Wan go."

He did not hesitate at all, even forgetting the fact that he had previously chosen Qin Yun Shu.

Qin Yun Shu bit her lip, tears falling, looking at her husband with unwillingness, "Cheng Han, you cannot treat me like this."

However, Cheng Han only had eyes for Cheng Wan; he did not look at her even once.

Qin Yun Shu's heart was being gnawed by jealousy until she was nearly driven mad.

Cheng Wan suppressed her fear and said softly to Cheng Han, "You take Lin Qingya and go."

"Wanwan." Lin Qingya suddenly raised her head, "No."

She would rather stay here.

Cheng Han faltered, "I..."

He was about to say words of refusal.

Cheng Wan's tone, however, became stern, "Cheng Han, I said, take Lin Qingya and go."

She softened her tone, "Listen to me, he will not let me leave."

She was the leverage holding back both Chu Li and Cheng Han; how could Cheng Huade be stupid enough to hand her over?

Cheng Huade simply wanted to watch a show.

Cheng Huade, having his intentions exposed, was not angry; instead, he hypocritically praised her, "Miss Cheng is truly clever."

Cheng Han's throat felt painfully constricted, "Fine."

Qin Yun Shu was already saying anxiously, "Cheng Han, you said you would choose me."

She was unwilling, and she also hated Cheng Wan.

Clearly, Cheng Han had already chosen her, yet one sentence from Cheng Wan made Cheng Han change his mind.

By what right did she do that?

Cheng Huade impatiently pushed Lin Qingya over.

Cheng Han caught Lin Qingya, his gaze landing on Chu Li.

Now all hope rested on Chu Li.

Chu Li stood straight, his gaze icy, "Cheng Huade, have you played enough?"

"President Chu hasn't chosen yet." Cheng Huade smiled with hidden meaning, "One is your ex-wife, the other is your own younger sister; whom will President Chu choose?"

Cheng Wan was silent.

Qin Yun Shu knew that Cheng Wan would not give her a chance.

She looked at Chu Li with tear-filled eyes, sobbing and pleading, "Brother, save me."

Chu Li frowned, "Cheng Huade, whatever you want, we can talk; let them go."

"No, no, no, I said, President Chu must choose one of two." Cheng Huade gave his subordinate a look.

The knife pressed against Cheng Wan's neck pushed harder.

A trace of fresh blood welled up.

"President Chu, time waits for no one."

On the river channel, a cargo ship was already approaching.

Cheng Huade's eyes lit up; he was about to leave this place immediately.

Cheng Wan sighed in a low voice; she was not a saint who had to save Qin Yun Shu, but she knew she was Cheng Huade's greatest life-saving card.

He would not let go.

Therefore, she said directly, "You choose..."

"Ah... Qingya..." A scream rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

Cheng Wan suddenly raised her head to look forward, her pupils shrinking as she looked at Lin Qingya in disbelief.

Lin Qingya held a dagger in her hand, and the dagger was currently plunged into Cheng Han's chest.

Everyone was stunned.

No one had expected Lin Qingya to suddenly move to kill.

"Cheng Han!" Qin Yun Shu screamed and rushed over.

Cheng Han clutched his chest and knelt halfway on the ground, his eyes filled with red, "Qingya... you..."

He tried to reach out to grab Lin Qingya, but Lin Qingya stepped back directly to avoid him.

She kept her head lowered, her gaze cold and heartless.

The dagger was dropped by her onto the ground, covered in fresh blood.

Cheng Huade was satisfied.

The reason he had always expected Cheng Han to choose Lin Qingya was because he had long since reached a deal with Lin Qingya: as long as Lin Qingya killed Cheng Han, he would release Cheng Wan.

Lin Qingya had agreed.

Just now, when he had his men slash at Cheng Wan's neck, it was to force Lin Qingya to act.

Now, the goal had been achieved.

Moreover, looking at Lin Qingya's force and the position of the stab, she had intended to kill.

Cheng Han would surely die.

Cheng Huade felt refreshed and invigorated.

So what if he had been forced to leave Yuncheng? Cheng Han had lost his life directly.

The river water rushed by, and moisture hit the bank.

The boat had already arrived in front of them.

Cheng Huade dragged Cheng Wan, intending to leave; just as he moved his feet, a "swish" sound of something piercing the air suddenly reached his ears.

Immediately after, his vision went black, and he fell into the water with a splash.

Cheng Wan was dragged along by him and fell toward the river as well, but was snatched back by Chu Li.

Her heart was pounding, and after steadying herself, she immediately ran toward Cheng Han.

But the next second, she heard a scream from Qin Yun Shu, "Lin Qingya, you murderer, go to hell!"

She gave a fierce push, and Lin Qingya, failing to stand steady, fell to the ground; as that spot happened to have a slope, Lin Qingya rolled straight down and fell into the river.

"Qingya!" Cheng Wan screamed heart-rendingly, her whole body trembling.

Qingya...

Qingya...

She wanted to rush over but was held tightly by Chu Li.

"Go look for her," he ordered coldly.

But the river was turbulent; once someone fell in, they would be swept away in an instant.

There was simply no way to save her.

Assistant Wu immediately made a call to mobilize equipment and also ordered people to send Cheng Han to the Yiyuan immediately.

"Qingya." Cheng Wan knelt on the ground, her voice trembling.

How could it be like this?

It was Qin Yun Shu.

Thinking of these three words, Cheng Wan gathered all her strength, pushed Chu Li away, and stumbled toward Qin Yun Shu.

She grabbed Qin Yun Shu, her eyes blood-red, "Qin Yun Shu, you killed Qingya."

"Murderer."

She grabbed Qin Yun Shu's hair and pulled her forcefully toward the riverbank, "Give Qingya back to me."

Qin Yun Shu clutched her scalp and screamed, "She killed Cheng Han."

"Wanwan." Chu Li rushed over and held Cheng Wan tightly in his arms, "Calm down."

Qin Yun Shu hid to one side and roared with all her might, "She is the murderer; she deserved it."

"A murderer will naturally be punished by the law; what right do you have to push her, what right..."

Cheng Wan's emotions fluctuated violently, her chest felt blocked, and she had difficulty breathing.

Finally, she collapsed into Chu Li's arms.
