The man finished speaking, and Xu Ruyun abruptly stood up, tightly gripping his collar.
"Are you sure you tampered with Su Qi's car?!"
"Of course, I'm sure. I even took photos..."
The man took out his phone and showed the photos to Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun clearly saw the car's license plate number – it was Su Qi's car. But why, how could this be...
Trembling, she picked up her phone and called Xu Qingfeng's assistant, Xiao Yang.
Before Xu Ruyun could make the call, a phone call came in.
"Madam, the Chairman had a car accident..."
When she arrived at the scene, a crowd had already gathered, all there to watch the spectacle.
The truck driver had called the ambulance, and the police and ambulance arrived together. At a glance, they saw the scene: the entire front of the truck had collided with the large truck. The large truck had only sustained minor damage, but the white sedan was almost completely wrecked.
This was... Su Qi's car!
Xu Ruyun almost fainted.
She watched helplessly as the medical personnel rescued Xu Qingfeng, who was covered in blood.
There was blood on the ground, and Xu Qingfeng's clothes were soaked in it. Yet, Xu Ruyun could still recognize them clearly, as the clothes the man was wearing were the same ones he had worn when he left for the company that morning.
"Qingfeng—"
Xu Ruyun's eyes turned red, and she rushed towards Xu Qingfeng. Xiao Yang stopped her, and overcome with grief, she fainted.
Xu Linchuan never dreamed in his life that he would one day perform surgery on his own biological father.
Upon hearing that a severely injured patient from a car accident had been admitted, Xu Linchuan immediately went to the emergency room to change into surgical attire. However, the moment the dying man was wheeled in and he saw his own biological father, Xu Linchuan froze, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.
Su Qi took the surveillance footage and went to Li Cuiping's ward.
The ward was on the fifth floor, and the balcony window was open, allowing her to hear the sounds from outside.
Within half an hour, she heard commotion. The siren of the ambulance was incredibly clear, even from the fifth floor.
Su Qi stood up, opened the glass door of the balcony, and then expressionlessly sat back down, taking Li Cuiping's hand.
"Mom, did you hear? Did you see? The Xu family is facing retribution. They brought it upon themselves. They have been punished. They killed Dad, killed Grandpa and Grandma, killed maternal grandparents, and crippled Su Yan Ge. Now they are also suffering the pain of losing loved ones.
Su Qi smiled faintly.
Hesitation?
The moment she handed the key to Xu Qingfeng, there was only exhilaration and relief, only the joy of revenge.
The Xu family trampled on human lives, causing her family's ruin, turning Li Cuiping into what she was now, and indirectly harming Su Yan Ge.
What was the death of one person?
This was the Xu family's retribution!
And it was far from over!
Su Qi tucked Li Cuiping in and slowly left the ward.
Passing by the emergency room and hearing Xu Ruyun's heart-wrenching cries, Su Qi left the hospital.
When she returned home, it had started to rain outside.
It was almost winter, the weather was so cold, yet it still rained frequently. The sky was overcast, as if burdened by something.
Su Qi put away her clothes and was about to make herself a bowl of noodles when there was a knock on the door.
Thinking it was Gu Tangxue being discharged, she opened the door and saw the man outside. Without a second thought, Su Qi immediately tried to close it.
The man's foot blocked the door.
Then, with a gentle push, he opened the door.
Su Qi stumbled and fell into the man's arms.
"Huo Tingyun..."
Su Qi looked up, gritting her teeth.
The man stood at the door, his expression somewhat grim.
He grabbed the doorframe and stepped directly into the room.
With a bang.
The sound of the door being locked from the inside.
Su Qi's heart trembled.
He was aggressive.
Huo Tingyun pressed forward, his eyes fixed on Su Qi. Su Qi gulped and retreated a few steps, finally bumping into the wall and stopping. "Feeling guilty?"
"Why would I feel guilty?" Su Qi chuckled, pulling at the corners of her lips. Even without lipstick, her lips were still a vibrant crimson, bright and lively.
Huo Tingyun narrowed his eyes, gazing at Su Qi with such seriousness for the first time.
He hadn't met Su Qi many times before, nor had they communicated much. In fact, they had exchanged fewer than ten sentences. He had always rejected her, and didn't know her particularly well. Before their divorce, he had always thought she was a weak and unassertive woman, but now it seemed she was more than that.
"You have quite a few little tricks."
Huo Tingyun gripped Su Qi's chin, forcing her to look up.
"How can it be called a trick? It's clearly luring the tiger into its den." Su Qi still had a bright smile on her face, showing no fear.
Seeing her like this, Huo Tingyun's heart inexplicably surged with anger.
The decisiveness with which she had signed the divorce agreement that day, and then suddenly found him and sent the recording to Xu Linyun.
"What do you want?"
Su Qi gritted her back teeth. "What do I want? Mr. Huo, haven't you heard the saying, 'If others do not offend me, I will not offend them; if they offend me, I will strike back!'?" If Xu Linyun hadn't tacitly allowed Mo Yu to bully Gu Tangxue, she wouldn't have targeted Xu Linyun.
"What did she do to you that made you treat her like this?"
Su Qi sneered. "I thought you came to see me for something important. You can't stop talking about your fiancée. There's no need for that. She knows what she did, and besides, Mr. Huo is wealthy. If you want to investigate, wouldn't it be as simple as lifting a finger?"
She even came to her door, which was laughable!
It made sense, though. Xu Linyun was his white moonlight. The fact that Huo Tingyun could stand here and talk to her now was giving her a lot of face.
For an ordinary person, they would have likely vanished into thin air by now.
Huo Tingyun tightened his grip, and two sparks flickered in his eyes. "You're getting bolder and bolder."
"I've always been like this, don't you know, Mr. Huo?"
Su Qi lifted her chin. Her chin hurt, but she still managed a smile. She was carrying Huo Tingyun's child, so he wouldn't kill her, at least not yet.
Su Qi's words reminded Huo Tingyun of their meeting at Shencheng University. It was a fleeting glance, and she had unhesitatingly jumped into the pond to save Xu Linchuan. A weak woman saving a grown man, wasn't she afraid of losing her own life?
Huo Tingyun left. Su Qi watched the door close. Only then did her straightened spine weaken, and she slumped to the floor, her palm pressed against the cold, hard floor.
Indeed, this was the difference between being loved and not being loved.
Even if Xu Linyun had beaten her to death, Huo Tingyun might not have questioned Xu Linyun, but as soon as she laid a finger on Xu Linyun, he would come to her door to question her.
Heh.
