Shen Xi stood up in horror. Beside her, Shen Yan said with a grim expression,
“The news says that Meng Yu poisoned Guan Lei.”
Shen Xi turned to look at her father in shock and instinctively refuted, “It’s impossible. Meng Yu would never do such a thing.”
Lu Shan spoke with difficulty, “Xi, because of the poison in Guan Lei’s medicine, he couldn’t be saved. He… he has no vital signs left.”
Lu Shan even feared that uttering the word ‘dead’ would trigger Shen Xi, so she replaced it with “no vital signs.”
Shen Xi’s heart felt as if it had been struck heavily by an iron hammer. Her limbs went numb from the excruciating pain, and she collapsed.
Lu Shan and Shen Yan immediately supported Shen Xi.
Enduring the suffocating pain, Shen Xi shook her head in disbelief, “It’s impossible! I need to go to school, I need to see it for myself!”
Saying this, Shen Xi stumbled to rise to her feet, pushing away Shen Yan and Lu Shan who were trying to help her, and hurriedly ran towards the garage.
Afraid that Shen Xi’s emotional reaction might lead to an accident, Lu Shan and Shen Yan followed closely behind her.
When Shen Xi arrived at the school’s confinement room, Su Han and Guan Yan were already there. Even Guan Bo appeared with Zhao Yuan.
Seeing Shen Xi, Zhao Yuan didn’t know how to speak to her.
Meanwhile, Shen Xi’s gaze was fixed on the hospital bed, where someone lay covered with a white sheet, concealing the face and body.
Shen Xi shook her head in denial and said, “It can’t be Guan Lei. It’s impossible.”
Refusing to believe, Shen Xi slowly walked to the side of the hospital bed. Just as she was about to lift the white sheet, Su Han fiercely slapped her hand away.
With resentment in her heart, Su Han, with bloodshot eyes, stared at Shen Xi and gritted her teeth, “It’s that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Meng Yu who poisoned Ah Lei. If it weren’t for you protecting Meng Yu, he would have died long ago! He wouldn’t have had the chance to harm my son! Fourteen years ago, he killed Miao, and now, he killed Ah Lei! It’s you! You helped that sc.u.m plot against my son, all for the wealth of the Guan family!’
Guan Yan, holding back his overwhelming sadness, tried to calm Su Han, whispering, “Let’s investigate this thoroughly. It might not be as it seems.
This situation is too suspicious.”
Su Han forcefully pushed Guan Yan away and angrily questioned, “Suspicious? What’s so suspicious about it? The only person who had contact with Zheng Huai’s medicine bottle was Meng Yu. If not him, then who? Besides, no one has a stronger motive than him. Once Guan Lei is dead, being the younger one, he can outmaneuver you to become the successor of the Guan family. It’s him!”
Liu Dong, who had just arrived, looked at the person covered with a white sheet with some doubt. Taking advantage of Su Han’s distraction, he lifted the sheet.
A pale, lifeless face appeared before everyone.
Upon witnessing her son’s lifeless body on full display, Su Han went mad and rushed towards Liu Dong, accusing him resentfully, “And you! You are also a murderer! If you hadn’t brought my seriously injured son here, he wouldn’t have died! You’ll pay with your life for what you did to my son! Give me back my son!”
Liu Dong immediately stepped back, and others quickly stepped forward to restrain Su Han, shielding Liu Dong.
Liu Dong continued to coldly stare at Guan Lei’s face, seemingly to confirm if Guan Lei was truly dead.
They wanted Guan Lei to die, but they wished the public to believe that he had taken his own life out of shame and remorse for betraying his country, rather than being killed by someone else.
The two natures were entirely different; the fact that Guan Lei had been murdered would even disrupt the carefully laid plans.
Turning to the doctor who had just provided emergency care to Guan Lei, Liu
Dong asked, “Are you sure he’s not breathing anymore?”
Su Han, overwhelmed by sorrow, didn’t expect that while she was grieving, Liu Dong was still questioning whether Guan Lei was truly dead. In an instant, she fainted.
Guan Yan quickly supported Su Han.
Meanwhile, Shen Xi walked to Guan Lei’s bed in a daze. Looking at the tightly closed eyes and motionless body, the unbearable pain engulfed Shen Xi’s heart from all directions, rendering her speechless. She could only open and close her mouth silently..
