Not long after being held by Wan Yunting, Wan Manyu, her emotions finally calmed down. She let go of her third brother's embrace, wiped away her tears, and hurriedly asked, "How is Hou Bing?"
"He confessed."
Wan Yunting handed her tissues from the coffee table, but Wan Manyu looked stunned. Then she anxiously said, "Third brother, listen to me, it was actually me..."
"It's alright, sister, stop talking!"
However, Wan Yunting waved her hand to interrupt her words, because he knew what Wan Manyu wanted to say. Wan Yunting grabbed her arms with his large hands and looked into her eyes, saying, "Sister, I know what happened that night, and I also know why Brother Bing chose to surrender!"
"Wan'er has already lost one father, she can't lose you as a mother, so you have to be strong. This is what Brother Bing would want to see."
Wan Manyu looked dazed. How could she not know that Hou Bing did it for her? But she was very distressed, and she also knew her third brother was right. The reason Hou Bing did this was all for Wan'er...
"Sister, don't worry, I will try my best to plead for Brother Bing and ask the police for a lenient sentence," Wan Yunting said seriously, holding her arm.
After all, in Huaxia, committing murder meant being shot.
Wan Yunting would definitely plead with Director Pang, but Hou Bing's handling of Cheng Kai's body was too egregious this time, so he couldn't guarantee the final judgment for Hou Bing.
After all, the Cheng family would definitely not let Hou Bing go!
"Third brother, sister begs you, please don't let Hou Bing die..."
Wan Manyu, with tears streaming down her face, tightly held Wan Yunting's arm and begged him while crying.
"Sister, don't worry."
Wan Yunting nodded in agreement with a firm look in his eyes.
Finally, he sent Wan Manyu upstairs to her room to sleep. Wan Yunting stayed by her side, watching her unable to sleep. Wan Yunting had to pinch an acupoint on her, and Wan Manyu soon fell asleep.
Wan Yunting covered her with a quilt before turning around. Looking at his niece's room next door, he pushed the door open to take a look. To his surprise, Wan'er opened her eyes groggily. Wan Yunting's face instantly lit up with a smile, "Wan'er, why are you awake?"
"Third Uncle..."
Wan'er sat up and stretched out her small hand for a hug. Wan Yunting immediately went over and picked her up. Wan'er looked scared and buried her little head on Wan Yunting's shoulder, making his heart ache. "What's wrong, Wan'er? Can't sleep?"
"Wan'er is scared..."
It turned out that Wan'er had been woken up by thunder and had also heard her mother screaming and crying downstairs, which made her scared.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Third Uncle is here, Wan'er doesn't need to be afraid..."
Wan Yunting felt distressed, holding Wan'er and walking around the room, gently patting her back and coaxing her to sleep...
Although Wan'er was only three or four years old, children of this age were already sensible.
Coupled with what had happened in the past few days, the little girl sensed something.
After coaxing her for about half an hour, he finally managed to lull the little one to sleep. Wan Yunting carefully put her back into bed and covered her with a quilt. Looking at his niece's cute appearance, he felt a pang of sadness thinking that she would lose two fathers in the future...
Leaving Wan'er's room, Wan Yunting went straight downstairs and sat on the living room sofa. Outside, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and heavy rain began to fall...
Wan Yunting lit a cigarette and smoked, his brows furrowed. He looked at the new carpet under his feet, lifted a corner of the carpet, and found that it was very clean underneath, with a smell of disinfectant mixed with detergent.
It could be seen that Wan Manyu had meticulously cleaned this area...
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow. From this, he could infer that this was likely the scene of the first murder of Cheng Kai, and that Cheng Kai had returned from the hospital with his test results on the night of the 7th and had an argument with Wan Manyu...
Let's rewind the time to 7:49 PM on the evening of the 7th.
A car screeched to a halt at the doorstep. Cheng Kai, holding the test report, slammed the car door shut and used his key to open the courtyard gate...
"He's back..."
Instantly, Wan Manyu, who was hiding on the second floor of the villa, knew Cheng Kai had returned as soon as she heard the sound of the courtyard gate opening.
"You hide well..."
Wan Manyu, after tidying her clothes, hurried downstairs and happened to see Cheng Kai storming in. Wan Manyu looked at him coldly, "Have you eaten? I just made some noodles..."
"I'll eat your mom."
Cheng Kai directly threw the test report in his hand fiercely at Wan Manyu's face and slapped her simultaneously, "Bitch..."
Wan Manyu, who had been knocked to the ground, glared at the ferocious Cheng Kai while clutching her bruised cheek and said angrily, "What's driving you crazy again?"
"Speak, is Wan'er yours and Hou Bing's?"
Cheng Kai stepped forward, squatted down, grabbed Wan Manyu's collar with both hands, and roared.
These words made Wan Manyu's heart tremble, and her expression became a little unnatural. "Cheng Kai, what are you crazy about? Wan'er is your daughter..."
*Slap!*
"Bitch, you're still hiding it even now."
Cheng Kai angrily slapped her again, picked up the test report from the ground, and held it in front of Wan Manyu, saying sternly, "I just had myself checked at the hospital today, and I have no fertility. How dare you still say Wan'er is my daughter!"
This time, Wan Manyu was shocked. Looking at the test report in Cheng Kai's hand, she slumped to the ground and said nothing.
"You really are a bitch, playing me, Cheng Kai, like a fool for so many years, while you were behind my back with Hou Bing, giving me cuckold, you're really something."
Cheng Kai, who had stood up, pointed at Wan Manyu and cursed. Thinking that he had been cuckolded for so many years, and even his daughter wasn't his, how could Cheng Kai not go mad with anger? He kicked Wan Manyu fiercely, "I'll beat you to death, you bitch..."
"Ah..."
Wan Manyu cried out in pain. Instantly, Hou Bing, who was hiding in his room on the second floor, heard it. He frowned, knowing it was Cheng Kai beating Manyu, so Hou Bing couldn't help but come out.
"Ah, bitch, you dare to hit me..."
Suddenly, Cheng Kai's scream came from downstairs. It turned out that Wan Manyu fought back, picked up the ashtray from the coffee table, and smashed it hard on Cheng Kai's left temple. Blood immediately flowed down, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying. "Bitch, I'm going to kill you..."
"You, you don't come over..."
Suddenly, Wan Manyu grabbed a fruit knife from the fruit plate and shouted at Cheng Kai angrily, "Are you crazy..."
"I am crazy."
Cheng Kai was furious and kept pressing towards Wan Manyu, cursing, "I always treated Wan'er as my own daughter, but now it turns out she's your bastard child with that bastard Hou Bing. I'm going to kill you tonight..."
After saying that, Cheng Kai lunged forward. Startled, Wan Manyu screamed and held the fruit knife vertically in front of her. As it turned out, Cheng Kai, who was lunging forward, tripped on the carpet and fell towards Wan Manyu. They both fell to the ground with a thud, and Cheng Kai's eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain in his chest...
Wan Manyu also realized that the fruit knife in her hand had stabbed into his chest. She was instantly terrified and pushed his body away. Seeing the knife deeply embedded in Cheng Kai's chest, leaving only the handle, Wan Manyu was terrified.
"You... you dare..."
Cheng Kai stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly at Wan Manyu, who was also wide-eyed and covering her mouth. She too was frightened by the scene...
"Hou Bing..."
Seeing the man coming down, Wan Manyu finally reacted and ran towards him, saying in a panic, "I didn't mean to..."
"Don't be afraid..."
Hou Bing immediately hugged her. Looking at Cheng Kai lying on the living room floor, struggling, his face contorted as he turned his head to look at Wan Manyu, who had run to Hou Bing's side, trembling with fear. This scene deeply stimulated Cheng Kai. Instantly, he let out a gasp and lay motionless on the ground. Blood continuously flowed from the wound in his chest...
"He... he won't..."
Seeing that Cheng Kai was motionless and thinking he was dead, Wan Manyu was panicked and started to cry.
Hou Bing immediately knelt down and placed his hand on Cheng Kai's carotid artery. He wasn't dead yet, but he was very weak. It was clear that the fruit knife had pierced his chest. Hou Bing knew that even if he sent him to the hospital now, he probably wouldn't survive...
