Police officers arrived and immediately apprehended Huang Xiuli, intending to take her away.
"I won't be as deranged as you. No matter your reasons, you cannot take another person's life," Susu said, looking at her coldly. "Believe it or not, I didn't kill Qin Yaxuan. What's the use of your madness now? Why don't you think about how your own constant sharp tongue, your greed for the wealthy, and your desire to gain without working for what isn't yours led to your current predicament!"
As she was dragged away by the police, Huang Xiuli glared at Susu, cursing, "And you are so righteous? How many people has Qin Tianyi harmed to have everything he has today! You two will also die a terrible death! A terrible death..."
As the police hauled Huang Xiuli away, An Jing spat behind her.
Seeing Susu's forehead bleeding, he quickly said, "I'll call an ambulance right away. Your head is injured."
Susu covered her forehead again and looked towards Lawyer Gui. She saw that the two villains who had grabbed her had jumped into the river and had also injured Lawyer Gui's arm. She said, "Alright, I'm fine. But my helper, Lawyer Gui, is quite injured."
After An Jing finished calling for an ambulance, he asked her strangely, "Where is Tianyi? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Who is that man who helped you?"
Susu said, bewildered, "Does Tianyi know I was brought here? But I haven't seen anyone from his side..."
She suddenly remembered Huang Xiuli mentioning a spectator earlier. The spectator Huang Xiuli spoke of was likely Tianyi.
"That's strange," An Jing said. "As soon as he received Huang Xiuli's call, he rushed out of the group to save you."
Susu said anxiously, "I just heard Huang Xiuli and the others say that some accomplices are on their way. Could Tianyi have encountered their accomplices? Could something have happened to him?"
An Jing immediately dialed Tianyi's phone, but no one answered. He then went to tell Su Kangxi the situation, to see if Su Kangxi could dispatch some officers to look for Tianyi.
Susu was also extremely worried. Huang Xiuli had people behind her. She had just heard them mention someone named Sister Sha.
She didn't remember knowing anyone named Sister Sha, nor did she have any enmity with such a person.
...
The moment the car crashed into the bridge railing, Qin Tianyi hadn't lost consciousness. He only felt a severe headache. He moved and saw through the cracked windshield that a group of traffic police had surrounded him.
He tried to unbuckle his seatbelt and push the door open, "Only half an hour... I have to... I have to save my wife..."
Several traffic police officers were on high alert. One said to him, "Sir, your driver's license? Do you know how dangerous severe speeding is?"
Tianyi felt he didn't even have the strength to push the door open and was feeling dizzy. He shook his head forcefully and noticed a pool of blood on the steering wheel, realizing his head was bleeding.
He wanted to take out his phone to show these traffic police officers the photo and ask them to save someone.
But his movement caused the traffic police surrounding the car to draw their weapons. They only relaxed when they saw he was taking out his phone.
Before he could open the photo on his phone, he could no longer hold on and lost consciousness.
Traffic police officers immediately stepped forward to open the car door and check on him, calling for an ambulance, and inspecting the entire vehicle to confirm he was merely a traffic violator, not a dangerous criminal.
Just as Xiao Anjing was helping Susu and Gui Nan onto an ambulance nearby, his phone rang.
Seeing it was Tianyi's call, he answered. Before he could speak, he heard a voice other than Tianyi's.
"Did you repeatedly call this number just now?"
An Jing said, a little confused, "Yes, who is this?"
The person said formally, "This is the Traffic Police Department. Your friend was involved in a speeding accident. He is now in the hospital, and his car has been impounded at our station. Can you come and help him with the procedures?"
"An accident!" An Jing asked anxiously, "Is he seriously injured? Is he alright?"
"He should not be in life-threatening danger, but he is still unconscious..."
"Which hospital is he at?"
The person gave the name of the hospital where Tianyi had been taken.
An Jing immediately said, "I'll go to the hospital to see him first, and then I'll come to your station later."
Without waiting for the other person to say anything more, he hung up and rushed to the hospital where Tianyi had been sent.
...
Shasha sat in a lounge chair at home, playing with her phone, waiting for the live broadcast to be sent to her.
She wanted to see how photogenic Gu Susu would be during the filming, smiling to herself at her phone.
Xie Qining, who was confined at home, got bored after playing a few games and walked over to her, asking, "What's so funny? Send it to me too."
Shasha put down her phone and said, "Nothing. A familiar director said he was filming a new movie and asked me to wait and watch the trial filming results."
"What movie is it? Let me see too. I'm so bored at home every day." Xie Qining sat in the chair next to her, running his hands through his hair in annoyance.
Shasha advised him, "Just settle down. Have you looked at the information about Xie Group that I gave you?"
"I looked at it, but I don't understand any of it."
"Then you shouldn't just look at it; you should memorize it. When you have the chance, mention it to your father, and he'll naturally calm down," Shasha said with a smile.
"Memorize? Memorize all that boring stuff, I can't do that."
Shasha said, disappointed in his lack of ambition, "Then you'll just continue to be confined at home by your father..."
Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she answered and asked impatiently, "Why haven't you started filming yet? I've been waiting for a long time."
"Sister Sha, we can't film it," the person on the other end said. "We haven't even reached the bridge pier yet, and the area is full of police. Some people have already been arrested by the police, and I heard some even jumped into the river. We're retreating now and will have to wait for another opportunity."
"Do you think such opportunities come often! Useless, all of you are useless!" Shasha said, hanging up fiercely.
Seeing her reaction on the phone, Xie Qining quickly said, "What's wrong? Don't get too angry, be careful not to upset the baby in your belly."
Shasha hadn't expected her seemingly sure plan to be ruined like this. Now that the mysterious Sophie had disappeared, her entire plan was disrupted.
"That director isn't filming today, making me wait for nothing," Shasha said, holding her belly as she tried to stand up from the chair.
But as she stood up, she moved too quickly and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, immediately sitting back down, her expression pained. "My stomach hurts so much, it feels like... it feels like I'm about to give birth..."
"I told you, you got too emotional just now. You must have disturbed the fetus," Xie Qining, having never experienced childbirth, was at a loss.
Shasha felt the downward pressure intensifying. Seeing that her water had broken, she pushed him forcefully and yelled, "I'm giving birth! Are you still standing there like an idiot! Hurry and tell the driver to prepare the car and take me to the hospital!"
Xie Qining rushed out of the room, shouting, "Mom! Mom! Shasha is giving birth!"
