Su Ding glanced at her, and seeing the blood all over the ground beneath her, finally spoke, "Zhang Hou, take her back to the hospital."
Zhang Hou shot a sinister look at Shao Lin, snorted coldly, and said, "Yes!"
Shao Lin was terrified of Zhang Hou, but at this moment, she was completely unable to resist and fainted.
Su Ding showed no pity and left.
She hated Shao Lin for everything she had done. Her life's tragedy was caused by Shao Lin.
However, Su Ding would never allow herself to be charged with a crime to seek revenge.
She would let the law handle everything.
After leaving the secret room, Su Ding drove her car on the roads of Jiang City.
Her mind was a mess, a complete mess.
She knew that entertainment news across the country was vindicating her and promoting her. She had even gained countless fans overnight.
But she felt nothing.
The news she received tonight was too shocking, leaving her unsure how to face Jin Ye and speak these words.
Her mind felt empty, as if all the fog had dissipated.
What followed was a clear assessment of the current situation and then tackling each issue one by one.
The main one was Wen Min.
Wen Min hid in the shadows, making it impossible to act, but He Qing was in the spotlight.
If He Qing could be apprehended, there would be clues.
"He Qing..."
Su Ding carefully recalled her past with Jiang Jiayi.
She met Jiang Jiayi at a banquet held by the Jiang family. That time, Jiang Jiayi was in high spirits and proactively became her good sister. Later, she entered the entertainment industry and acted in the same drama with Su Ding, saving her life during a dangerous accident.
Yet, this sisterly bond, forged in life and death, was a lie. The truth was that Jiang Jiayi's target was Jin Ye.
Jiang Jiayi deliberately cultivated their close sisterhood to get closer to Jin Ye, even almost causing them to break up. All of this was eventually discovered by Jin Ye.
Jin Ye took swift and decisive action against Jiang Corporation, forcing Jiang Shi to leave Jiang City.
Coincidentally, the Jiang family residence caught fire, and Jiang Jiayi went missing.
Then, Jiang Jiayi returned after plastic surgery, intent on taking revenge on the Jin family.
But why?
Jin Ye had already shown mercy, only forcing Jiang Shi to leave Jiang City without bankrupting them. He had even sent people to provide aid during the fire.
Why was there such deep hatred between them?
Was it merely unrequited love for Jin Ye? No, Su Ding felt it was impossible. There might be a secret she didn't know.
Su Ding wanted to ask He Qing everything face to face.
The difficult part was that Zhao Qin and He Qing's relationship had become that of close confidantes.
With He Qing instigating, Zhao Qin would never reconcile with her.
As Su Ding was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared ahead, waving at her car.
Su Ding was stunned. She wasn't a taxi.
But soon, she realized she had driven into a somewhat remote area.
At this moment, the figure ahead seemed to be waving more urgently.
She could vaguely hear a woman's voice.
"Give me a ride, driver, my phone is dead."
Su Ding could see from afar that it was a woman in her thirties or forties, dragging a suitcase, wearing a fashionable wide-brimmed hat. As she waved, she kept rubbing her leg, looking exhausted.
After observing for a while and confirming there was no danger, Su Ding slowly drove closer.
The car stopped.
The woman raised her face, wiped the sweat, and sighed in relief. Just as she was about to thank the driver, she froze.
Because she saw Su Ding's face clearly.
And Su Ding also saw the woman's face clearly.
"Mrs. Jin!"
"Su Ding!"
Neither of them expected to meet each other in such a situation.
After all, during the day, Zhao Qin had arrogantly shown up without any mercy, intending to drive Su Ding away in front of the media reporters, completely ruining her.
And now, the tables had turned.
In just one night.
Su Ding sat in the car, while Zhao Qin walked along the desolate road in disarray, seeking help.
What a coincidence.
Su Ding didn't have any good feelings for her mother-in-law, but seeing Zhao Qin in such a pathetic state, she couldn't help but be curious.
How had the usually pampered Zhao Qin ended up in such a predicament?
"..."
At this moment, Zhao Qin was speechless, her old face flushing and paling.
She clutched the handle of her suitcase, feeling humiliated and unable to back down.
She really wanted to turn around and leave.
But today, after being cheated of her money by a black-hearted driver and abandoned on the desolate road, she had walked for three hours, yet still hadn't encountered a single living soul willing to help her.
It was already past midnight.
She grew increasingly fearful.
She feared something suddenly appearing from the darkness, or being kidnapped by some bad person and sold for her organs.
She had walked along the road in a state of constant trepidation.
Finally, she found a kind person, only to discover it was her archenemy.
Especially since she had harmed Su Ding that very day.
In fact, she had done a lot of reflection on her journey. She realized that everything she had done today might completely ruin Su Ding. After all, Su Ding was her daughter-in-law. How could she consider herself a good mother-in-law for what she had done to Su Ding?
But every time she remembered that kidnapping, she felt a chill in her heart.
Su Ding, in order to please her, dared to collude with the underworld to kill the driver and stage such an incident. She couldn't accept Su Ding from the bottom of her heart.
Sigh.
Zhao Qin sighed wearily in her heart.
She wanted to get into the car but feared being met with Su Ding's taunts.
For example:
"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Jin? Why are you so down and out?"
"You deserve this! Just stay on the road!"
"Zhao Qin, you had it coming!"
...
The thought of these made Zhao Qin unbearable.
While Zhao Qin was lost in thought, Su Ding spoke, "Get in the car first."
The night wind blew with a whistling sound.
Even though Su Ding was wearing a jacket, she could still feel a chill.
After all, she was Jin Ye's mother. She couldn't leave an elder to walk alone on the road. If something happened, the loss would outweigh the gain.
"..."
Zhao Qin glanced at Su Ding and quickly lowered her head.
Her hands were already red from the cold wind. She took a deep breath and was about to lift her suitcase with force when a pair of fair and slender hands grasped the handle.
"Let me."
Su Ding opened the passenger door, gesturing for Zhao Qin to get in.
She herself picked up the suitcase and placed it in the back of the car.
Su Ding weighed the suitcase. It wasn't light. It took courage for Zhao Qin, a wealthy lady, to carry such a heavy box along this road.
After placing the suitcase, Su Ding turned and got into the driver's seat.
Zhao Qin, sitting in the passenger seat, felt her flushed face gradually regain warmth.
The car's heater was on.
Her sorrowful heart also felt a hint of comfort.
Throughout the journey, Su Ding remained silent, breaking the awkward yet tacit silence.
Slowly, the car entered the city.
Su Ding planned to drive to the old Jin family mansion. Zhao Qin clearly recognized the familiar route and suddenly spoke.
"I'm not going home..."
