When He Yi saw that Sheng Qizhou didn't respond, he was about to continue talking. Sheng Qizhou waved his hand tiredly, "You don't need to tell me. Don't mention this child in front of me again in the future."
He has been chasing the answer to a question for so many years, but no matter what he gets, he only feels more tired, so he would rather not explore the truth of some things.
He Yi looked slightly stern, suppressing all the facts in his heart.
Wenwan called.
Sheng Qizhou's expression softened, and the corners of his lips curved, "Gentle."
"Second Young Master, the director of the orphanage just called me and said that Tao Tao slipped and fell into the water last night..." Wen Wan said with a trembling voice, already crying, "We were the ones who sent Tao Tao there, so Second Young Master
Do you know about this?"
Sheng Qizhou felt his heart tremble, and an inexplicable panic arose, "I know." He paused, "It's just Wenwan, how did the director of the orphanage contact you?"
When going through the relevant procedures that day, the reason why he didn't let He Yi reveal Wen Wan's contact information to Wen Wan was because he planned to hide the matter from Wen Wan.
"I went to see Tao Tao yesterday at noon. When I asked the dean to take good care of Tao Tao, I left my contact information with the dean."
When Sheng Qizhou heard this, he was immediately speechless.
Obviously, Wen Wan did not ignore Tao Tao, she even showed her true feelings to Tao Tao.
Sheng Qizhou did not expect this. On the one hand, it was because he was ruthless and he could not imagine how sincere others were. Furthermore, Yuan Fan was Wen Wan's enemy. He thought Wen Wan would not be so concerned about his enemy's son.
Sheng Qizhou was about to say something when the sound of a door closing came from Wen Wan's side, "The police have rushed over to investigate. The dean asked me to go over to confirm Tao Tao's identity, and may also go to the police station to take notes. I'll go there first,
I’ll hang up now.”
"Wait a minute Wen Wan!" Sheng Qizhou stopped Wen Wan and put the phone between his shoulder and neck. He took the suit jacket from the hanger and put it on before striding out, "I'll go with you. Tell me what you are doing."
Wherever you are, I’ll drive over to pick you up.”
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and responded, "Okay." Then she reported an address to Sheng Qizhou and hung up the phone.
When the two people rushed over, the police were at the crime scene to investigate the cause of the accident and set up a police line.
Sheng Qizhou and Wen Wan came out with their business cards respectively, and the police let them in.
Wen Wan ran over in a few steps, and as soon as her eyes touched the boy lying there, she immediately covered her mouth, lost her voice and took a few steps back, then staggered and fell into Sheng Qizhou's chest behind her.
Tao Tao's clothes were all soaked through, and because the weather was too cold, his hair was covered with a thin layer of ice. His originally bloodless face was made even more pale by his jet-black hair.
His body had long been in a stiff state, and the exposed areas were white and swollen, but his eyes, which were like black grapes, were wide open at this moment, as if they were about to turn inside out.
Never die with peace of mind.
Wen Wan turned her body and spat it out all at once, and the tears in her eyes burst out and kept pouring out.
The identification department and the medical examiner were both present. They reported the investigation results to the police officer, saying that Tao Tao's approximate time of death was 11 o'clock last night.
Because there were few people coming and going in this area, there were not many lights, and the ground near the pool was frozen and slippery than usual, so it was certain that this was an accident.
Accident?
Yesterday at noon, she took Tao Tao to buy clothes, and then they had dinner together. Then they went to the amusement park in the afternoon, and Tao Tao had to pull her along when he rode the merry-go-round.
She had a bad heart and never dared to play such games. Later, she couldn't resist Tao Tao's coquettishness, so she sat behind Tao Tao and hugged Tao Tao's small body with her arms. However, her performance was even worse than that of a child.
Fear.
When she came back in the evening, Tao Tao hugged her neck, kissed her face and said that her aunt was as good as her mother. She promised to visit Tao Tao once a week in the future.
All the scenes are vivid in my mind, but why did such a lively and lovely child turn into this stiff and cold corpse in front of me after just one night?
Why?
Why wouldn’t God spare such a small child?
From Dong Weizhuang to Mu Qinghan's children, to Lu Weihang, to Yuan Fan, and finally Tao Tao, her life seems to be full of death.
Recently, she would always wake up suddenly from her dreams, covered in cold sweat.
There were always countless pairs of eyes staring at her in the darkness.
She had trouble sleeping and eating.
Now even a child as young as Tao Tao is dead, so who is next? How many people will be sacrificed in Shen Dubu's situation?
What must it take before Shen Du is willing to give up?
Do you want Mu Yuxiu’s life?
Do you want her Wen Wan to die?
"Hehehe..." Wenwan let out bursts of laughter. It was sad and ironic, but her beautiful face was so pale. Her tears never stopped. She cried and laughed, and finally exhausted all her strength. Her body
He felt weak and collapsed into Sheng Qizhou's arms.
There was a lot of noise in her ears, and she seemed to hear everything, and it seemed as if the whole world was still.
***
When she woke up again, Wen Wan was lying on the bed in Sheng Qizhou's bedroom.
She was not as alert as usual, nor did she observe her surroundings. Instead, she sat up stiffly, bent her knees, hugged them with both arms, and rested her chin on them.
She took out her mobile phone.
There is a photo of her and Tao Tao in the album, taken under the Ferris wheel. Tao Tao held her hand and smiled happily.
She had always thought that she was not destined to have children, but now looking at the gentle and virtuous features of the woman in the photo, even she felt like she was Tao Tao's mother.
No wonder Tao Tao would say that he likes her very much. It turns out that she is not a sweet-tongued child.
Tears fell down and swam across the screen of the mobile phone. The photo was covered with a layer of tear stains, soaking the smiling faces of her and Tao Tao inside.
The sound of the door being pushed open was heard in her ears. Wen Wan was still like a statue, trapped in her own world and unable to extricate herself.
"Wen Wan, are you feeling better?" Sheng Qizhou came over and sat on the bedside, glancing at the screen of her mobile phone.
In the photo, she had bright eyes and a happy and sweet smile on her face, but Sheng Qizhou felt as if his eyes were being stabbed.
Was he wrong again?
Wen Wan still didn't move.
In the silent room, Sheng Qizhou could only hear the sound of tears falling without any interruption.
His heart hurt as if it was being twisted by a knife, and he reached out tremblingly to take the phone away from her hand, "You can't be blamed for this. No one wants this kind of accident to happen, so don't blame yourself too much. Get up and eat something first.
Bar!"
Only then did Wen Wan turn her head. Her eyes, soaked in tears, shone dimly under the dim light on the bedside. She couldn't see the emotions inside clearly. She even made Sheng Qizhou break into a cold sweat when she stared at her.
Come.
After a while, just when Sheng Qizhou thought Wen Wan would explode, she just said softly, "Second Young Master, please help me arrange a meeting with Shen Du!"
This was originally the result they wanted, but after hearing this, Sheng Qizhou was not only not as relieved as he expected, but instead felt that his heart seemed to be sinking a little bit.
Mu Yuxiu, we finally won this game, but it seems that we lost something again.
He had no way of knowing.
***
The next morning, Wen Wan met with Shen Du as Shen Du's defense lawyer.
She pulled up the chair and sat opposite Shen Du, put her hands on the table, and looked at Shen Du calmly, "Shen Du, do you have any next plans?"
Shen Du pursed his thin lips slightly when he heard the words, stared at Wen Wan with deep eyes, and asked without answering: "So what is your choice? Leave me, or Mu Yuxiu?"
"My choice? Did you give me a chance to choose?" The conversation never got to the main topic, and it was just suppressing the frenzy surging in her heart. Wen Wan let out a slight sneer, "Why do you think I delayed it? Now? I can’t bear to leave you?”
"No, I just want to see how far you will go. Lu Weihang is dead, Mu Yuxiu is in jail, Yuan Fan and Tao Tao are both dead, is it my turn next?"
Shen Du turned pale when he heard this, "Tao Tao's death has nothing to do with me. I will not attack an innocent child." There was a faint bloodshot in his usually calm deep eyes, and he kept his gentleness in his voice. Husky, "And Wenwan, how could I let you die?"
"Shut up and calm down!" Wen Wan slapped her palm on the solid wood table, and the jade bracelet on her wrist made a shocking ding-dong sound.
She sneered, "You didn't let me die, you just instigated Yuan Fan and Lu Weihang to kidnap me. Yuan Fan used sulfuric acid and knives to disfigure my face, Lu Weihang tried to rape me, and the police broke in to arrest me... To save me Let me ask you, where do you get the confidence to think that I will not die? Or do you think that I am too tough and can survive every time? "
"What you said is just a hypothesis. First of all, Lu Weihang will not let Yuan Fan ruin your appearance first. I called Mu Yuxiu over, and Mu Yuxiu arrived in time. You will not be raped by Lu Weihang. Wen Wan..." Room The light inside was very dim, but Shen Du's eyes, which were staring at Wen Wan, were extremely bright. The emotions inside were ups and downs, ready to come out, "My goal is just Mu Yuxiu. I have never thought about it, nor have I ever thought about it." It will hurt you."
Wen Wan nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Shen Du, I would like to thank you for your careful thoughts and your calculations that allow you to win in danger every time, okay?"
Her thin shoulders trembled, and the tears in her eyes burst out with the fierce voice. She said loudly, "Didn't you ask me who I would choose? Shen Du, I have given you this answer a long time ago. Now I Say it again, I will choose to sacrifice you to save Mu Yuxiu. So go and die! Only if you die can Mu Yuxiu be safe."
Shen Du's body shook suddenly, and he felt a knife stabbing into his heart. His face turned pale with pain, his hands clenched into fists, his thin lips trembled, and his red eyes growled as he asked Wen Wan: "Why me and not Mu Yuxiu?!"
"Didn't you see Dong Weizhuang's suicide note? Mu Yuxiu has done so many things to hurt you, why didn't you let him die? And why did you lie to me?" He gritted his teeth, his voice coming from deep in his throat. He said, sadly and disappointedly, "You clearly said that you don't love Mu Yuxiu and you want to leave him. So I did this for you, why do you turn around and accuse me? Am I wrong? Even if I am wrong. , that’s just because I love you! For you, I’m willing to have my hands covered with blood, and I’m willing to let my soul be dirty.”
