Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Cui Chong looked at Fang Qiu and continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. She was a witness.”
Fang Qiu’s heart skipped a beat when she was called out. Everyone’s gazes were on her. She could not help but cowered. When her eyes met with Cui Chong’s, she said vulnerably, “Yes, I saw it…”
“See? We should take her away,” Cui Chong said righteously. He was confident and showed no signs of guilt.
Lin Nan did not care about what had just happened. Instead, he went straight to Li Ran and hugged her. Then, he checked if there were any wounds on her body.
Luckily, Li Ran was not injured, but she was not displaying any reaction at all.
Lin Nan instantly looked at Cui Chong with a piercing gaze.
Cui Chong widened his eyes and immediately denied, “I don’t know anything! This has nothing to do with me. She was already like this when I saw her.”
The entire fiasco had attracted a large group of people’s attention.
Ten well-trained soldiers entered the abandoned room under Lin Nan’s orders.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, especially Fang Qiu. She did not expect things to turn out this way. This man had the power to command the army. She felt that she had offended the wrong person.
Fang Qiu began to wish that she did not enter the safety base!
On the other hand, Cui Chong was as calm as ever. As long as his life was not in jeopardy, then everything was fine.
“Search the place. Take everyone away.”
After Lin Nan gave his orders, he carried Li Ran in his arms and left. He promptly contacted the medics and made preparations for his wife’s treatment.
There were limited medical resources, but it was better than nothing.
Li Hui stayed behind and arranged for Cui Chong’s group to be apprehended.
Fang Qiu’s body kept trembling. Tears fell from her eyes as she cried, “This has nothing to do with me. Why are you detaining me here?”
“Stay here quietly.”
Li Hui turned around and left after saying that.
On the contrary, Cui Chong was sitting leisurely on the bed. He looked at Fang Qiu with a scrutinizing look and raised his eyebrows.
“How did this matter get exposed? Hmm?”
“Don’t tell me, you thought I was the one who did it?”
“Who else?”
“Cui Chong! It wasn’t me! I would never do such a thing! If it was really me, why would I even help you in the first place?”
“Do you like me?”
“I…”
“Things have already come to this. You have to take the blame for me. Only then will I forgive you for what you have done. Understand?”
Cui Chong sneered at Fang Qiu. Then, he turned his head around and ignored her.
Fang Qiu took a deep breath. She felt that her head was about to split open. The pressure was immense.
“Why? I didn’t do anything.”
“I know, but that’s not the point.”
Cui Chong smiled innocently.
He was still the same man as when she first met him. However, Fang Qiu’s heart was crushed.
She could not even be bothered to hide it.
It was clear that she was just his pawn.
…
Li Ran was still unconscious.
However, the intense pain coming from her stomach pulled her back to reality. She slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Lin Nan’s face.
“Doctor, she’s awake. Please check if there’s anything wrong.”
The doctor smiled faintly.
“Brother Lin, don’t worry. The child is fine too.”
“Okay.”
Li Ran’s eyes widened when she remembered what had happened earlier.
She looked at Lin Nan in fear and asked, “Where’s Cui Chong? Did he do anything to me?”
Lin Nan patted Li Ran’s shoulder and tried to comfort her.
“It’s fine. He didn’t do anything. You’re safe now. You just ingested some medicine that made you unconscious. Fortunately, it was not a big amount, so the effects weren’t too severe.”
“Why are you here?”
