Facing Li Junshen's confession, Song Qinian felt it was a fairytale.
When Li Junshen had returned previously and put on her high heels for her, saying those strange words, she had thought he was playing a prank.
She had never imagined it was because he liked her.
She shoved Li Junshen away fiercely and gestured with her small hands in anger, "You say you like me? If you truly liked me, how could you have killed 'Hamburger'? 'Hamburger' liked you so much, sticking to you every day, and you even smiled when you killed it. You are a lunatic, a demon! I don't like you, and I will never be able to like you!"
Upon mentioning 'Hamburger', a subtle change flickered across Li Junshen's face. He then smiled indifferently, "Just a cat. I've already been punished long enough for being separated from you for over ten years because of it."
Just a cat? That was a life!
Seeing the door ajar, Song Qinian desperately wanted to run. But Zhang Qiaoqiao was still on the sofa. If she ran, would Li Junshen kill Zhang Qiaoqiao in a fit of rage?
"As for whether you like me or not... I don't care. I only want you, your person. And I am confident that as you spend more time with me, you will definitely fall in love with me!"
Song Qinian let out a cold laugh, wondering where Li Junshen's confidence stemmed from.
Suddenly, Zhang Qiaoqiao's phone rang. Song Qinian realized it might be Shen Chiyan calling and immediately rushed to grab Zhang Qiaoqiao's phone.
Upon seeing the caller ID, her heart began to pound. Never before had she yearned to hear Shen Chiyan's voice so intensely.
Li Junshen, seemingly in no hurry, slowly walked towards Song Qinian, watching her answer the phone.
Shen Chiyan's voice came through the receiver to Song Qinian's ears, "Qiqi, how are you? Have you eaten? How much did you eat?"
Even though he had confined her, he still called every hour to check on Song Qinian's condition.
Listening to his voice, tears immediately streamed down Song Qinian's face.
Shen Chiyan!
Shen Chiyan!
She desperately wanted to call his name, to speak to him, to beg for help, but she was damned if she could utter a sound.
At this moment, Li Junshen snatched the phone from her hand and hung up.
Seeing Song Qinian's devastated and furious gaze fixed on him, Li Junshen discarded the phone and wiped her tears. "You can't speak anyway. What's the point of answering the phone?"
Song Qinian glared at him hatefully, wishing she could rush into the kitchen, grab a knife, and kill him.
"Besides, you've given him your all, but how has he treated you? Between you and Lin Qiutong, he still favors Lin Qiutong, doesn't he? Otherwise, if he had investigated and found your father innocent, why wouldn't he have helped you get your father out?"
Song Qinian looked at Li Junshen in disbelief. "What did you say?"
Li Junshen looked into Song Qinian's eyes, filled with pity. "You don't really think Shen Chiyan hasn't found anything after investigating for so long, do you? Then he's not fit to be the CEO of Ding Sheng Group. Let me tell you, he knows everything. He's only kept it from you because he doesn't want Lin Qiutong to go to jail."
Song Qinian shook her head, her face extremely pale and sickly. Remembering something, she gestured angrily, "Don't try to sow discord. I won't believe a word you say."
"Heh... Niannian, there's a limit to self-deception. Although you are his wife, Lin Qiutong is his childhood sweetheart. Moreover, he promised Lin Feichi that he would take good care of Lin Qiutong. Even out of gratitude, he wouldn't truly let Lin Qiutong go to jail. And your father has nothing to do with him. Why would he go against his promise to save your father?"
"Stop spouting nonsense! I've been secretly investigating my father's case for three years and haven't found any clues. How could Shen Chiyan..."
At this moment, Li Junshen's eyes were filled with heartache. "Darling, have you ever considered that you can't find any clues simply because I didn't want you to?"
Song Qinian's face changed drastically. "What do you mean?"
"Ah, I forgot to tell you, Zhou Luote is my person!"
Song Qinian's head felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer. For that instant, her mind went blank.
How could Zhou Luote be Li Junshen's person? He was just a private investigator she had hired!
Furthermore, why was Li Junshen preventing her from investigating her father's affairs? Why wasn't he clearing her father's name and getting him out of prison?
If she remembered correctly, her father had liked Li Junshen a lot when he was a child. He would give him red envelopes during festivals and share half of any good things he bought with him. Why was he doing this?
Meanwhile, in the office of Ding Sheng Group, Shen Chiyan, after being hung up on by Zhang Qiaoqiao, felt increasingly uneasy. He called Zhang Qiaoqiao again. The phone rang for a long time with no answer. Realizing something was wrong, Shen Chiyan called the bodyguard on duty outside, but there was no answer.
A sudden, inexplicable panic seized him. Shen Chiyan immediately got up and walked out of the CEO's office.
He had to go home and check on Song Qinian!
Hearing Zhang Qiaoqiao's phone ring again, Li Junshen looked at the devastated Song Qinian. "Niannian, my patience is limited. I came today to take you away. I have the evidence of your father being framed. As long as you come with me, I guarantee that girl will be safe, and I will clear your father's name and release him. Conversely, this girl who is good to you will silently disappear from this world like the cat I killed, and your father will be branded with kidnapping and extortion for life. Even after his sentence is served, he will be mocked and pointed at!"
In just over ten minutes, Song Qinian had received too much information. Her mind was still in a state of chaos.
At this moment, to make Song Qinian decide quickly, Li Junshen produced a syringe filled with an unknown liquid. Seeing him about to inject it into Zhang Qiaoqiao's carotid artery, Song Qinian's face changed drastically, and she rushed forward.
Li Junshen held the syringe tip against Zhang Qiaoqiao's neck and looked at Song Qinian, threatening her, "I told you, my patience is limited!"
Based on his understanding of Shen Chiyan, Li Junshen believed Shen Chiyan was likely already on his way. He wanted to take Song Qinian away before Shen Chiyan arrived.
Song Qinian looked at the unconscious Zhang Qiaoqiao, tears immediately falling. Li Junshen was a devil. He killed people and cats without batting an eye. Zhang Qiaoqiao was as innocent as 'Hamburger' back then. She couldn't let Zhang Qiaoqiao lose her life for her own sake.
Besides, she still had too many things to figure out. Her father wasn't released yet...
Song Qinian tightly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she seemed to have made up her mind. She gestured to Li Junshen, "I'll go with you!"
