Chapter 665: Once Decided, It Cannot Be Changed
Feng Shanshan’s heart was a mess now.
She now understood why Tang Yan was so quiet, so reluctant to speak. It was because he had seen all the truth and falsehood in this world and had experienced the pain and torture that nobody else could imagine. How could you expect such a man to care about life?
To him, solving cases was the only reason to live.
And because of this, Feng Shanshan was so fascinated by him.
This man was a hero in her heart. She had an indescribable sense of admiration for him, although she had never revealed it.
But now that Tang Yan had shown her his everything, what about her?
Should she keep her abortion a secret?
“I’ve gotten the answer I want, so why should I stop here?” Feng Shanshan asked Tang Yan. “I’ve finally found a man that I’m crazy about, why should I let him go? It’s just that I have something to tell you. I don’t want this matter to become the thorn in our hearts when it is exposed. If you mind, we can…”
“I don’t mind,” Tang Yan replied directly.
“You know what I want to tell you?”
“I know.” Tang Yan gave a short answer as he looked at Feng Shanshan’s stomach. What he implied was very clear.
Feng Shanshan was stunned. She didn’t expect him to have known about it.
“Do you really not mind, or are you just pretending will bring it up in the future?”
After listening to Feng Shanshan’s question, Tang Yan removed his clothes and showed her the scars on his body. “Do you think I mind about the body that much?”
Feng Shanshan stopped talking.
After a while, she smiled. “Then we shall get along like this. I’m not asking for a romantic life. I just want you to stay alive. I don’t need your care and I just want you to be my side. You do your job as a police officer and I do mine as a forensic doctor. And one more thing, if we ever have a child, I hope you can be by my side when I give birth. Understand?”
Tang Yan didn’t just understand. With his long-term training, he could hear it very clearly.
But it was too shallow for him to reply with words. So, Tang Yan picked Feng Shanshan up from the sofa and walked into the bedroom quickly.
Once decided, it couldn’t be changed. No matter if they were alive or dead, they won’t let go!
…
The next day, the news of the mass suicide of the four teenagers create a stir in the public. They made all sorts of speculations and discussions, saying that they were either brainwashed or enchanted. All kinds of rumors spread in the community.
The police were still investigating but the chief already asked them to close the case as suicides as soon as possible, as they shouldn’t cause panic to the public.
Since it wasn’t a homicide, there was no need for the criminal investigation team to take care of it as the local police could just do the job.
Tang Yan was ordered to hand over the case to the local police. Therefore, the case was soon taken over by someone else.
And the team suddenly had time on their hands.
Although they wanted to know why the teenagers made such an extreme decision, they didn’t expect a second episode to be just right around the corner.
…
Soon, it was the day for Mu Tangxue to get engaged to Ye Jingcheng.
In the social circle of the rich, many people are talking about Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue. These sisters had been in a conflict for a long time, and in the end, they both married a rich man.
Would Mu Qiqi attend Mu Tangxue’s engagement ceremony?
There’s no doubt that she would go.
After all, she wanted to see the good drama Mu Tangxue had promised.
The two had caused her irreversible childhood drama. Now that it was the time for the dogs to bite each other, how could she miss that?
But Mu Qiqi knew that Mu Tangxue had decided to take the risk and go this far because she wanted to get revenge for Mr. Lu. However, even though the news about her engagement was spread widely, Mr. Lu would not show the slightest concern for her at all.
In the morning, Mu Qiqi woke up early to dress up. Seeing the man behind her putting on his shirt, she approached him immediately to help tidy it.
“Mr. Lu is adapting to his new life in Zhongteng well, right?”
“Probably,” Sheng Xiao answered calmly.
“It’s pretty good that he’s able to live peacefully.”
“Although you don’t want to admit it, you still feel that it’s unfair for Mu Tangxue.” Sheng Xiao tilted her chin and stared into her eyes. “Even though Mu Tangxue was so hateful… that she even deserves death.”
“Even if it were another person, I will still feel the same,” said Mu Qiqi. “Can you come home early to pick me up? Since we’re going for a good drama, we’d better go there early.”
“Ten o’clock sharp.” Sheng Xiao pinched her nose and walked out of their bedroom.
Mu Qiqi saw Sheng Xiao off. She hoped that the drama tonight would be more interesting than solving cases. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
…
At nine o’clock in the morning.
The guests of the Ye family started appearing on the lawn of Golden Night Hotel. It was the grand engagement ceremony of the young master of the Ye family and Mu Tangxue after all.
However, the parents of the Ye family did not come to welcome the guests. Because at that moment, they were sulking in the living room.
When Ye Jingcheng went downstairs in a blue suit, he looked at his parents. “Father, Mother, today is my engagement day. Shouldn’t you give me face at least?”
Mama Ye harrumphed. Papa Ye didn’t even want to go out and embarrass himself, so he waved his hands. “You can go by yourself. We won’t go.”
“How can you not go?” Ye Jingcheng’s voice had a hint of danger. “If you don’t, who’s to say I won’t mess around with Ye Holdings?”
“Don’t you dare!”
“I want to give my shares to Tangxue. Do you think I won’t dare to do so?”
His parents were helpless when threatened by their son. So, they replied, “You go first. We’ll get changed.”
“Then hurry up.”
After that, Ye Jingcheng went upstairs again happily to invite Mu Tangxue downstairs.
What about his parents? They stood there fuming.
“Darling, what should we do now? We have to think of a way. After they get engaged, it will be too late.”
“Let me think,” said Papa Ye, pacing up and down in the living room. “This bastard isn’t afraid of being removed from the board of directors by me at all. He doesn’t even care about us. I want to cut ties with him.”
What about Mama Ye? She focused her gaze on the wine bottle on the table.
No hurry. There was still time to reverse the situation.
…
But to be honest, how many people who went to the engagement ceremony would give them blessings sincerely?
Weren’t they all going just to be witness to a joke?
How could they possibly not know how bad Mu Tangxue’s reputation was? Now that Ye Jingcheng had picked such a tattered girl, wasn’t he just waiting to be laughed at?
