Huo Sicheng stared intently at Qin Chong without saying a word.
Qin Chong sat in a wheelchair opposite Huo Sicheng.
He was so close to Huo Sicheng that he could clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from him, along with an oppressive force so overwhelming that it made it hard for him to breathe.
His heart pain was intensifying, a sign that his heart condition was flaring up.
He quickly trembled as he took out emergency pills from his pocket and swallowed them.
Huo Sicheng watched Qin Chong’s actions, his thin lips pressed tightly together, still not speaking.
After taking the medicine, Qin Chong’s heart pain subsided. He looked directly at Huo Sicheng and asked, “Sicheng, why aren’t you speaking?”
Huo Sicheng responded, “What do you want me to say?” Qin Chong said, “The question I just asked.”
Huo Sicheng replied, “How should I answer your question?”
Qin Chong was silent.
He felt uneasy, yet he asked in a seemingly calm voice, “You pretend to be disabled to prevent someone from harming you, but who would dare harm you? Moreover, I personally investigated your parents’ accident that year. It was an accidental death, as everyone knows it was caused by the driver’s fatigue. Why do you now speak as if your parents were harmed by someone? Who could be so cruel to harm your parents?”
Huo Sicheng looked straight at Qin Chong with a calm expression, “I also want to know who wants to harm me. I only remember that when I was in the car accident with my parents, someone secretly investigated my injuries. The doctor who saved me, seeing that I was young and feeling sorry for me, quietly told me that someone wanted to harm me.”
Qin Chong’s face changed dramatically, and he feigned shock as he asked, “The doctor said someone wanted to harm you? How could the doctor say that? I was with you in the hospital all the time, and nobody dared to harm you.”
Huo Sicheng calmly replied to Qin Chong, “Yes, you were by my side at that time. I watched you scolding the doctors, making sure they saved me. I also want to know how someone could harm me right under your watch.”
Qin Chong felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles listening to Huo Sicheng’s words.
Facing Huo Sicheng’s elusive talk, he couldn’t find a breakthrough to continue questioning him about everything.
Instead, Huo Sicheng gave him a feeling that he should confess everything.
Confess?
He had nothing to confess to Huo Sicheng, and by today, he was sure that Huo Sicheng knew everything about the car accident.
“Sicheng, rest assured, as long as my cousin is alive, he will investigate the car accident to give you the truth,” he swore sincerely to Huo Sicheng, “If the accident was really man-made, I won’t let go of the villain who hurt your family. Just give me some time, I won’t disappoint you.”
Huo Sicheng responded indifferently, “Alright, I will wait for the good news from my cousin.”
Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words and seeing his calm expression, Qin Chong couldn’t figure out what Huo Sicheng really wanted to do.
But he knew he was in danger and had to find a way to save himself.
He then pretended to ask a question, “Sicheng, now that you’re in charge of everything, nobody dares to harm you anymore. You don’t need to sit in a wheelchair. This is great news that will surely stir up the entire Jiang City. Most importantly, Qingcheng will be happy to know you’re not disabled. You two are a perfect match.”
He was surprised as he asked Huo Sicheng, “Wait, does Qingcheng know you’re not disabled?”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes flickered as he told Qin Chong, “She knows.”
Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, Qin Chong felt disappointed.
If Qingcheng didn’t know about Huo Sicheng’s disability, given her personality, she would have been furious to learn that Huo Sicheng had lied to her. Their marital relationship would have been in jeopardy, which would have been quite a spectacle.
But now that Qingcheng knew Huo Sicheng wasn’t disabled, it meant the couple had deceived him and everyone else. They both were very cunning.
“This is truly great news, you not being disabled, and Qingcheng knowing about it. You shouldn’t use the wheelchair anymore,” he told Huo Sicheng congratulatorily, “It’s inconvenient to do anything in that wheelchair.”
Huo Sicheng replied, “No, I still need to use the wheelchair. I said someone wants to harm me, so I must protect myself.”
Qin Chong’s expression changed slightly, “With me around, nobody dares harm you. Even without my protection, you can protect yourself with your own abilities. You don’t need to sit in a wheelchair.”
Huo Sicheng said, “I sat in a wheelchair since I was a child for self-protection. If I hadn’t pretended to be disabled back then, those who wanted me dead would have killed me. It was because I was disabled that I posed no threat to those people, and that’s why I’ve survived until today. So, I have an emotional attachment to this wheelchair.
“Also, I’ve gotten used to the wheelchair, and suddenly walking would be uncomfortable for me,” he said calmly but with a hint of sharpness, “Most importantly, I believe the person who wants to harm me is still alive, so I must continue to use the wheelchair. Appearing weak reduces the threat I pose.
Cousin, you must understand my concerns for my own safety.”
Listening to Huo Sicheng’s words, Qin Chong felt as if he had been invisibly slapped twice, the pain burning on his face..
