He lay on the ground, looking at Shi Ran, who stood beside him. He wanted to say something, but found he could utter nothing.
“Let Yuan Wei go. I’ll take the medicine,” Shi Ran said to Zhao Wuyan, biting her lip.
“Fine. I’ll let him go as soon as you take the medicine.”
“Let him go first, or I won’t take it.”
“Then I’ll beat him to death first!”
“Go ahead, then you’d better beat me to death too,” Shi Ran suddenly laughed. “Don’t you know Tang Si came to see me last night? It just so happens that if Yuan Wei and I die, we’ll take you with us to the grave. It won’t be a loss.”
Zhao Wuyan’s mind went blank, and her face immediately lost all color.
She had checked the surveillance footage. She only saw Shi Ran alone entering the hospital and handling the admission procedures. She didn't see any trace of Tang Si at all.
Therefore, Zhao Wuyan naively thought that Tang Si had no idea Shi Ran would come.
As for the child in her womb, Zhao Wuyan was unsure if it belonged to Yuan Wei or Tang Si.
But whoever the father was, the child had to die.
Only when the child died would all possibilities be extinguished.
“Who are you trying to scare? If Tang Si knew you were in Lancheng, he would have been here long ago,” Zhao Wuyan said through gritted teeth. Her eyes blazed with anger, unable to suppress her fury. She strode up to Shi Ran, snatched the medicine from her hand, and with a lowered head, began to open it. She then turned to the bodyguards and said, “Pin her down! This slut, seducing my husband, I’m going to kill her today, kill her…”
Several bodyguards came forward and immediately grabbed Shi Ran’s arms.
Shi Ran struggled weakly but made no real effort. She just looked at Zhao Wuyan, and as she watched, she began to laugh.
Her face, filled with a manic smile, appeared even more hideous and terrifying because of the scar.
She gave up struggling. “Zhao Wuyan, you’d better kill me today. Otherwise, how will Tang Si kill you? I’m pregnant with his child. Do you think he’ll let you off? Hahahaha…”
Living at the bottom, powerless and insignificant, her life was like an ant’s, easily crushed underfoot.
That kind of life made her somewhat desperate.
“Shi Ran… don’t…” Yuan Wei struggled, trying to get up, but he had no strength in his body, and his mouth was filled with blood.
Bang—!
Suddenly, a sound came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.
A crowd of people rushed in.
“Stop them, stop them!”
Zhao Wuyan knew it must be Tang Si who had arrived.
Since that was the case, she might as well go all the way and kill Shi Ran directly.
She held a pill she had taken out in one hand, and with the other, she pulled a dagger from her pocket. With a ferocious expression, she lunged at Shi Ran, raising the dagger high and stabbing towards her.
On the brink of death, Shi Ran was too tired to resist any longer. She weakly closed her eyes, awaiting the judgment of death.
She was truly fed up with this life of constantly running around and living with utmost caution.
Coupled with the psychological trauma caused by her disfigurement, it had already shattered the last barrier in her heart.
But…
She waited for a few seconds but felt no pain. Instead, she heard Zhao Wuyan’s pained wail.
Shi Ran instinctively opened her eyes and saw a dagger stuck in Zhao Wuyan’s right arm, the arm that held the dagger. The dagger in Zhao Wuyan’s hand had fallen to the ground.
Zhao Wuyan clutched her bleeding arm and wailed in pain.
Seeing the blood, Shi Ran’s face grew even paler.
At that moment, someone suddenly pulled her into their arms and raised a hand to cover her eyes. “Don’t look.”
The warm embrace and the familiar scent that suddenly enveloped her brought her an inexplicable sense of peace.
She knew…
Tang Si had arrived.
Tang Si?
