193 The Truth She Discovered

When Sang Qianqian and her brother returned home, Shen Hanyu’s car had also arrived at the courtyard next door.

Fang Lan did not come with him this time.

He was very clear-headed at the moment. He glanced at Sang Qianqian from a distance, turned around, and entered the house with an indifferent expression.

It was as if his excessive actions after getting drunk last night had never happened.

Sang Qianqian was also speechless. She could only pretend that nothing had happened that night.

Sang Minglang sent her back and then drove out to accompany Ruan Xiaoshuang.

Sang Qianqian returned to her room, saved a video on her computer, and watched it over and over again.

What was recorded in the video was the questions she had asked when she hypnotized Xie Shi’an last night.

At first, she had asked Xie Shi’an why he liked her, but it was just an emotional foreshadowing.

The questions she really wanted to ask were at the back.

In the video, her second question to Xie Shi’an was about the wedding. “Shi’an, did you really just go to Shen Hanyu’s wedding to give me a gift?”

Xie Shi’an’s gaze was stunned, but he gave an answer almost immediately. “No.”

Sang Qianqian’s expression changed slightly. “Then what were you planning to do by attending the wedding?”

Xie Shi’an said, “I wanted to… Save you.”

He wanted to tell her the truth about his departure back then, and he wanted to try his best to get her back.

However, when she saw Shen Hanyu holding her in his arms, he couldn’t bring himself to say those words.

Sang Qianqian was silent for a moment before she continued to ask, “Did you have anything to do with the shooting at the wedding?”

“Yes,” Xie Shi’an said.

“Were you the one who arranged for the murderer to be killed?” Sang Qianqian’s voice changed.

“No,” Xie Shi’an replied.

“Then why do you say it has something to do with you?”

Sang Qianqian stared at him. “Do you know the person who arranged for the murderer to be killed? Or, are you a middleman or an accomplice?”

Xie Shi’an seemed to be conflicted for a few seconds. “I know… The person who arranged the murderer.”

Sang Qianqian’s heart clenched. “Who is that person?”

Xie Shi’an looked as if he was making a very difficult decision. After struggling for a long time, he said a name.

“Ruan Cheng,” he said.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her. Sang Qianqian was stunned on the spot, unable to believe her eyes.

“Why did Ruan Cheng order someone to kill Shen Hanyu?”

Sang Qianqian’s voice softened. “Shi’an, you know the reason, right? Can you tell me?”

When asked about Ruan Cheng, Xie Shi’an seemed to be very reluctant to answer. However, he could not resist the temptation and seduction in Sang Qianqian’s voice and still said it.

The reason for this was something that Sang Qianqian could never have imagined.

Ruan Cheng and Xie Shi’an’s sister, Xie Qiuling, had a deep relationship. For this reason, he didn’t hesitate to fall out with the Xie family completely for her, vowing to get back the Xie family’s assets for Xie Shi’an and his sister.

Since the Xie family couldn’t take revenge on Ruan Cheng, they set their sights on Xie Qiuling instead. They found a clansman in the Xie family who had a good relationship with Xie Qiuling and waited for an opportunity to get close to her.

That day, Ruan Cheng had to go out of town because of an important project, and Xie Shi’an had accompanied his sister to the wedding dress shop to try on wedding dresses.

Ruan Cheng had arranged for bodyguards to keep Xie Qiuling safe.

However, because that clansman was quite close to Xie Qiuling, he was able to enter the bridal shop and get close to Xie Qiuling under the excuse that he wanted to give Xie Qiuling a gift.

No one had expected that he would take out a gun from the gift he had given to Xie Qiuling.

By the time the bodyguards swarmed up, it was already too late. Xie Shi’an watched as his sister was shot and fell in front of him. The wedding dress was stained red with her blood.

This tragic scene left a trauma in Xie Shi’an’s heart that would be difficult to remove for the rest of his life. Every time he thought about it, his heart would ache.

It was also because of this that Xie Shi’an was so agitated when he saw Sang Qianqian hugging Shen Hanyu as if she had lost her soul, her white wedding dress stained red with blood.

When he returned to the capital, he sold all his assets and even broke off with Ruan Cheng,, insisting on withdrawing from the fight for the Xie family’s inheritance.

What Sang Qianqian could never have imagined was that Ruan Cheng planned this murder case because he wanted to help Xie Shi’an stop the wedding.

Ruan Cheng wanted Shen Hanyu to stay away from Sang Qianqian. He wanted Sang Qianqian to never marry anyone other than Xie Shi’an.

Because he didn’t want Xie Shi’an to be like him, unable to get the person he loved in his life.

From Ruan Cheng’s point of view, no matter if Shen Hanyu was dead or injured, the wedding would be called off, and he would have achieved his goal.

Thinking about it, it was really ridiculous.

Ruan Cheng had once put all his eggs in one basket for love and lost his beloved wife on the eve of his wedding.

After going through such pain, he should’ve respected other people’s feelings more.

But now, he saw other people’s lives and love as worthless. He didn’t hesitate to destroy other people’s weddings and kill people just to achieve his goal. This person was truly cruel, terrifying, and extremely cold-blooded.

Sang Qianqian was still a little afraid, but she was also a little glad.

Fortunately, she had come to the capital in time and chose to separate from Shen Hanyu. Otherwise, if she continued to be with him, Ruan Cheng would definitely try to stop them, and Shen Hanyu would be in danger again.

Sang Qianqian didn’t know if she should tell her brother the truth she had discovered from Xie Shi’an

Sang Qianqian liked the gentle Ruan Xiaoshuang and hoped that she would become her sister-in-law. However, Ruan Cheng was the mastermind behind the shooting.

If she told her brother the truth, based on Sang Qianqian’s understanding of her brother, he and Ruan Xiaoshuang would most likely… Draw a clear line.

Sang Qianqian thought about how loving they were now and couldn’t bear to see them break up again.

She was hesitant and conflicted, faint anxiety building up in her heart.

If the murderer of the shooting was really Ruan Cheng…

In that dream, who was the one who destroyed the Sang family, took her brother away, and kidnapped her?

—

The next day.

When the chauffeur was driving Sang Qianqian to work, he accidentally got into an accident with another car.

Sang Qianqian was afraid that she would be late to work, so she took a taxi and left.

As soon as she got out of the car at the hospital’s entrance, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up, but there was no sound from the other end.

All of a sudden, a black car seemed to have lost control in the parking lot beside her and was driving toward her at a high speed.

Just as Sang Qianqian was about to be hit, someone suddenly hugged and brought her to a safe place.

Sang Qianqian turned around with lingering fear.

Just as the car was about to hit Xie Shi’an, it abruptly turned and hit the wall next to it. One side of the car’s front was damaged, but it didn’t stop moving. Instead, it went away.

Xie Shi’an looked in the direction of the car. His eyes were extremely cold with a hint of anger.

A few seconds later, he rushed over and supported Sang Qianqian. “Qianqian, are you alright?”
