"You're blaming me!"
Shen Qingqing's face grew colder, her gaze towards Director Feng filled with ice. "Bring out the real medicine, or I won't let you off."
"I told you, what I gave you is real!"
Director Feng stubbornly retorted, his face turning red.
Unfortunately, Shen Qingqing didn't believe him, and Director Feng wouldn't admit he gave her fake medicine. They were locked in a stalemate.
Feng Yilian, standing nearby, felt a flicker of guilt cross her face.
Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine. She instinctively looked up and met Fu Jingshu's cold, scrutinizing gaze. She swallowed, trying to appear calm.
"You did it."
Fu Jingshu spoke, his tone certain.
Feng Yilian immediately denied it, "It wasn't me. Don't spout nonsense and wrongly accuse good people!"
"You're a good person?"
King couldn't help but laugh at that. He laughed so hard his eyes teared up.
"What are you laughing at?" Feng Yilian snapped, embarrassed and angry.
"I heard a joke, what else can I do but laugh?" King seemed to have tired himself out. He rubbed his stomach, his voice still laced with suppressed laughter.
However, Fu Jingshu's reminder made Shen Qingqing realize something was amiss. She looked closely at Feng Yilian. Dealing with Fu Jingshu alone was already taxing.
Now there was her too.
Feng Yilian's back was slick with sweat. "Father, I'm going upstairs. I don't want to see her."
As she turned, her wrist was grabbed. She struggled fiercely but couldn't break free. Annoyance surged through her. This woman's strength was outrageously high!
She really couldn't break free, her wrist even aching. She was on the verge of collapse and yelled,
"Let go of me! It has nothing to do with me. Daddy, save me! Are you just going to watch this woman bully me? I really didn't do it!"
But Director Feng knew his daughter too well. Seeing her expression, he also felt something was wrong. "Yilian, tell me the truth. Does this really have nothing to do with you?"
"No, no!"
Feng Yilian shouted, but she was clearly flustered, especially with so many people staring at her. She felt like she was being publicly executed.
Her eyes reddened.
"I didn't do it, don't wrong me!"
Yet, no one believed her. Director Feng spoke gently, "If you did it, just tell the truth. Daddy won't blame you. We'll give her the real medicine..."
"If you don't speak, then I'll have to help Father send it back."
This was Shen Qingqing, threatening her with a cold voice.
Fu Jingshu and King also stared at her, one with a cold, emotionless gaze, the other with a wicked charm that held a hint of indifference.
"Speak!"
Shen Qingqing demanded sharply.
Feng Yilian felt like she was on a deserted island, with no one believing or helping her. The string that had been taut in her heart finally snapped. She opened her mouth to bite Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing quickly let go. Feng Yilian, unable to stop her momentum, stumbled and fell to the floor.
"Like a dog," Shen Qingqing sneered.
"Heh heh..." Feng Yilian lowered her head, her hair falling over her face, obscuring her features. The laughter that came from her was somewhat chilling.
Since the people present were not ordinary, no one was scared. They all watched as if it were a play.
Only Director Feng frowned. "Yilian, just tell the truth."
"Yes, I did it!"
"It was all me. I knew where you hid the special medicine a long time ago. I knew she wanted it, and I was unwilling. Why should I give it to her?!"
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Feng Yilian stopped pretending. A frantic expression appeared on her face. She glared fiercely at Shen Qingqing, as if looking at an enemy.
"It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Her wedding was gone, her identity exposed. She had fallen from being a sought-after young lady to dust. Everyone laughed at her, looked down on her.
She simply couldn't bear this kind of life.
"You ruined my future. Why do you get to have the life-saving medicine? Who do you want to save? A Lang? No, you've wanted the special medicine for a long time. You must want to use this medicine to save someone more important to you."
She giggled eerily.
"Then I definitely can't give you the special medicine. I won't let you use this medicine to save anyone. No matter who it is, you just watch them die!"
"Nonsense!"
Director Feng berated her.
But Feng Yilian was not afraid. Since she had confessed, she was prepared for everything. Moreover, if she didn't produce the medicine, Shen Qingqing would have no hold over her!
"I won't take it out. You can forget about it!"
She sat on the sofa with arrogance, not worried at all.
Shen Qingqing sneered, "Your father promised to give me the special medicine, and you took it without authorization. This constitutes theft. I'm calling my uncle-in-law right now to have him come and see how theft is handled."
She took out her phone and was about to make a call. Feng Yilian finally panicked. "You can't call the police! You can't arrest me! This special medicine was originally our family's, so it's not theft!"
No one could prove that her father had given the special medicine to Shen Qingqing.
She comforted herself, her panic subsiding slightly.
Shen Qingqing, however, looked at Director Feng with a meaningful gaze. "Director Feng, what do you say?"
If he didn't admit that the special medicine had been given to Shen Qingqing, he would be sent back to the police station.
If he wasn't here, the company would be finished, and the Feng family would be ruined.
And sacrificing Feng Yilian... a daughter whose reputation was already ruined and had little value...
He decisively chose the latter. "Feng Yilian, tell the truth quickly, or even I won't be able to protect you!"
Feng Yilian was deeply hurt, her heart twisting in pain. "Daddy..."
She laughed in despair.
She should have realized earlier that her father had always been so heartless.
"I don't know where the special medicine is. I just let that person in, and he took the medicine. We haven't been in contact since."
"Who was that person?"
Shen Qingqing asked immediately.
Feng Yilian shook her head. "I don't know. I don't know him."
"Harming others and not benefiting yourself."
Shen Qingqing glanced at her coldly. She dared to cooperate with someone without even knowing who they were. What a complete fool!
"I'm willing. As long as I can get revenge on you, I'm willing to deal with a tiger or cooperate with the devil!"
Feng Yilian's expression was frantic.
Shen Qingqing ignored her and looked at Director Feng. "Is there surveillance where you kept the special medicine?"
Director Feng looked at her in surprise. "Yes."
Shen Qingqing smiled knowingly. She knew his personality; he would definitely have surveillance installed where the special medicine was kept, and there were even layers of security outside.
Director Feng knew that every moment counted and immediately had people retrieve the surveillance footage from the door of the room where the special medicine was stored.
The surveillance indeed captured the person who stole the special medicine.
However, the person was heavily wrapped, making it impossible to discern their face.
They were only tall and sturdy, likely a man.
Director Feng gasped, "It's him!"
"You know him?" Shen Qingqing immediately looked at him.
"It's Z."
From Director Feng, they learned the identity of this man in black. He was reportedly skilled in poisons and had collaborated with Director Feng many times. The special medicine itself was developed by him.
"But why did he steal it?"
Director Feng was baffled. If he didn't want to give the medicine to save a life, why would he help him develop it?
Shen Qingqing's eyes flashed. She thought of something and looked sharply at Director Feng. "Besides the poison A Lang inherited from his mother's womb, there's another slow-acting poison. Did you administer it? And did you get it from him?"
Director Feng's eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about? A Lang is poisoned? How is that possible? I didn't poison him!"
