Chapter 186: Cheng Wan, Lin Qingya was killed by you

The heavy rain came on aggressively, and thunder rolled within the clouds.

Cheng Wan opened her eyes and looked at the medicine bottle above her head, the liquid dripping into her body through a transparent tube.

The atmosphere in the hospital room was heavy.

Chu Li held her hand, his expression grave.

"I have already sent people to search and rescue; I will tell you the moment there is any news, so don't worry."

Cheng Wan's eyes felt sore and dry; she blinked gently, and tears fell down her cheeks.

She knew clearly in her heart that the river was turbulent, and since the person hadn't been saved at the time, there was no telling where the river had carried her by now.

Moreover, it was still raining heavily.

She pulled her hand away, her face deathly pale, and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.

Her voice was dry and hoarse.

"If you can't find her, let the police find her."

She was going to report it to the police.

Qin Yunshu was a murderer.

Chu Li pressed her back down, his brows knit with severity, "Wanwan, my people are no worse than the police, and as for Lin Qingya..."

He paused before saying slowly, "I promise you, I will find her alive or find her body."

Cheng Wan's entire body trembled; she understood the implication of those words.

There was little hope of Lin Qingya surviving.

Cheng Wan's eyes looked at Chu Li quietly, hollow and listless.

"Chu Li, if Lin Qingya is dead, then Qin Yunshu is a murderer. You say you will go look for her, but can you actually find her?"

"For the sake of your dear sister, you won't be able to find Lin Qingya, nor will you be able to find her body."

She questioned him word by word, her gaze toward Chu Li filled with icy hatred.

Chu Li wanted to comfort her, but meeting her eyes, his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

After a long while, he said, "I promise, I promise to find her."

Cheng Wan's tears flowed continuously, but she insisted on going to the police.

She did not trust Chu Li.

Chu Li held her shoulders and said in a low, heavy voice, "If Yun Shu is a murderer, then what about Lin Qingya? She stabbed a knife into Cheng Han's chest, and Cheng Han is still in emergency surgery."

Cheng Han.

Cheng Wan recalled that scene.

She truly wished this were a nightmare.

That she would open her eyes and Lin Qingya would still be standing perfectly fine before her.

"Even if Cheng Han dies, whether Qingya goes to jail or pays with her life for Cheng Han, it is for the police to decide. By what right did Qin Yunshu push Qingya into the river?"

All of Cheng Wan's suppressed emotions collapsed at this moment.

She felt incomparable despair and hatred.

Chu Li was equally distressed; he lowered his head to kiss her hair, his arm circling her trembling body, "Wanwan, Cheng Han is your brother."

His fingers gently stroked Cheng Wan's cheek as he held her, his voice extremely soft, "He is your own biological brother."

Brother?

Cheng Wan looked up, the tear tracks on her face still wet, her voice exceptionally hoarse and full of mockery.

"Chu Li, for the sake of Qin Yunshu, you can even make up an excuse like this."

Chu Li sighed in a low voice, "It is true. Cheng Han recognized you long ago and had a DNA test done; you are indeed siblings."

"He is lying on the operating table now, fighting for his life, his fate unknown."

Cheng Wan shook her head, "I don't believe it; this is a lie you made up for Qin Yunshu."

"I don't need to tell you how good Cheng Han has been to you, do I?" Chu Li reminded her.

Cheng Wan pursed her lips; of course she knew, and she had even speculated about Cheng Han's motives before.

"You were lost when you were a child, and the Cheng Family has been looking for you all these years, Wanwan." Chu Li looked at her with heartache, "Go see Cheng Han, will you?"

A glimmer of light gradually returned to Cheng Wan's hollow eyes, and she put on her shoes and walked out.

Chu Li tried to support her, but was pushed away.

Outside the operating room, Qin Yunshu sat blankly, her eyes filled with confusion.

Cheng Wan walked over step by step; for some reason, her heart, which had been skeptical, suddenly began to ache when she saw the red light of the operating room.

Brother.

She called out those two words in her heart, and her vision went black.

This day was too chaotic.

Like a nightmare.

When Qin Yunshu saw her, she remembered how Cheng Han was going to abandon her for Cheng Wan, and a layer of hatred surfaced in her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" she asked very rudely.

Cheng Wan walked up to her, her eyes tempered with ice, and directly raised her hand to slap her.

"Qin Yunshu, you harmed Lin Qingya; I will not let you go."

Qin Yunshu stood up abruptly and laughed sarcastically, "Cheng Wan, she committed attempted murder. As Cheng Han's legal wife, I will pursue her to the end."

She curled her lips and said maliciously, "Though I'm afraid she won't be coming back."

Cheng Wan swayed, her face turning even paler; her heart ached beyond measure.

"Qin Yunshu, shut up." Chu Li scolded, reaching out to support Cheng Wan's shoulders.

Qin Yunshu sneered, "Cheng Wan, Lin Qingya is dead; she was killed by you."

"I said shut up." Chu Li's face was dark, and his gaze toward Qin Yunshu was very unfriendly.

But Qin Yunshu was not afraid.

She wanted Cheng Wan to live the rest of her life in guilt, never able to walk out of it for as long as she lived.

"Cheng Wan, she did it for you..."

"Qin Yunshu."

"Let her speak." Cheng Wan roared these three words out.

She had no strength left.

"When she and I were taken away, I heard with my own ears Cheng Huade telling her to kill Cheng Han, otherwise he would kill you." Qin Yunshu took a deep breath, "She did it for you, plunging a knife into Cheng Han's chest; Cheng Wan, she was killed by you."

"What right do you have to question me? The one who killed her is you."

"She died because of you."

"You are spouting nonsense." Cheng Wan's body went limp, unable to stand.

Her Qingya... how could it be like this...

"Otherwise, why would she kill Cheng Han when she had already been saved?" Qin Yunshu pressed forward step by step, staring straight into Cheng Wan's eyes, "I did push her, but in that position, she shouldn't have rolled directly into the river."

"She killed the person she loved most for your sake; she was in pain, she wanted to die, that is why she rolled into the river."

"She committed suicide; it has nothing to do with me."

Cheng Wan's mind was a mess, her fingernails digging fiercely into her palms, almost drawing blood.

Was it really like that?

Was she the one who killed Qingya?

Was she the one who was... the murderer?

Qin Yunshu watched Cheng Wan's near-collapse and felt a fierce sense of satisfaction.

Collapse, Cheng Wan, collapse completely.

"Qin Yunshu." Chu Li's cold, grim voice rang in her ear, "Do you take my words as wind in your ears?"

The words Qin Yunshu still wanted to use to provoke Cheng Wan were instantly swallowed back; she dared not say any more.

Her eyes turned red, and tears fell, "Brother, I know you feel bad for her, but Cheng Han is innocent, and Lin Qingya is also innocent."

"If Cheng Han... if Cheng Han..." She choked, clutching her chest in pain, "If he is gone, then what am I supposed to do in the future?"

Chu Li could not bring himself to say any more words of reproach.

Whether Lin Qingya was pushed into the river by Qin Yunshu or rolled into the river herself still needed to be investigated.

Qin Yunshu lowered her eyes to look at her palms; her left hand gripped her right hand, and that hand was still trembling slightly.

It was not fear, but excitement.
