Chapter 185 I Believe in Her
In the dead end, "Uncle Zhang" lay motionless on the ground.
Zhuang Qingxiang stared intently at the figure on the ground, approaching it with pauses and starts.
Fearing a trap, she dared not run directly over and could only probe step by step.
It wasn't until she got to "Uncle Zhang's" side that she realized he was truly unconscious.
The powder was quite effective, which was a waste of the two packets of medicine she bought.
Zhuang Qingxiang also prepared medicine, which she learned from her mother. However, the efficacy of the medicine was uncertain. She prepared it just in case it was useful, so that she could save herself trouble.
Now, the person has fainted, and it's unknown when they will wake up.
Zhuang Qingxiang slowly reached into her handbag and pinched the scissors.
if only……
All you have to do is take out a pair of scissors and stab this man hard in the stomach...
No, what if he doesn't die? The quickest way to kill him would be to pierce his throat with scissors.
Zhuang Qingxiang shivered, her hands and feet feeling icy cold.
She never imagined that she could be so ruthless as to want to end someone's life.
He gripped the scissors tighter and tighter, but he couldn't pull them out of his bag no matter what.
If her gaze were a knife, "Uncle Zhang" would already be dead, but she needed to use scissors, she needed to see blood.
Thinking of everything that was about to happen, the blood all over the ground, Zhuang Qingxiang's hands began to tremble even before she took them out.
But things have already come to this point, we can't give up halfway!
Zhuang Qingxiang wanted to take a deep breath, but was afraid of inhaling any remaining sleeping pills, so she bit her lip, slowly pulled out the scissors, then squatted down and stared at "Uncle Zhang's" throat...
"Who's there?!"
The sudden shout made Zhuang Qingxiang tremble violently, as if her heart would explode.
He looked up in shock and saw several uniformed police officers running in.
The scariest thing was that the leader was pointing one finger at her while his other hand was on his waist...
Startled, Zhuang Qingxiang stood up abruptly and backed away, placing the scissors behind her back.
"Huh? Comrade Zhuang Qingxiang?"
Another gasp rang out, this time from a familiar voice.
Zhuang Qingxiang, her face pale, looked at the man: "Officer Meng..."
When Meng Shuisheng saw that it was Zhuang Qingxiang, he stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over: "Don't be nervous, we're all acquaintances. This is Comrade Zhuang Qingxiang, the nanny of Director Lu's family at the military factory. You should have met her before."
That's right. Zhuang Qingxiang was locked up there for quite a few days.
Everyone loosened their hands from their waists. Meng Shuisheng looked at the man lying on the ground and asked, "Comrade Zhuang, what happened? Who is this man?"
"This person, this person..." Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't say anything; all she felt now was fear.
Even Meng Shuisheng noticed that something was wrong with her, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.
Zhuang Qingxiang was already ill, and under excessive tension, she stopped breathing. Just as everyone was surrounding her, her vision went black, and she fell straight backward.
When Lu Congyue received Meng Shuisheng's notification, he thought Meng Shuisheng was joking with him.
Later, realizing it wasn't true, he immediately drove to the county hospital.
"What exactly happened?"
Upon seeing Meng Shuisheng, Lu Congyue anxiously asked, "You were unclear on the phone, what exactly happened to Zhuang Qingxiang?"
Seeing how anxious he was, Meng Shuisheng sighed, "Director Lu, there's really something wrong with Zhuang Qingxiang. You and her... I advise you to think it over carefully."
"What problem could she possibly have?" Lu Congyue frowned.
Meng Shuisheng shook his head: "We'll have to wait until she wakes up and we're interrogating her for the specifics."
Meng Shuisheng recounted the circumstances of discovering Zhuang Qingxiang and the unconscious man, especially the fact that Zhuang Qingxiang was holding a pair of scissors at the time.
"Then there must be something wrong with that man!" Lu Congyue said with certainty. "She's doing this to protect herself! You know what happened to her before, so it's not wrong for her to be more cautious."
"..." Meng Shuisheng was speechless at his reaction. "Director Lu, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"
"Why don't you interrogate that man yourself?!" Lu Congyue said disdainfully. "Isn't this your job? Do I have to teach you?"
Meng Shui was furious: "Lu Congyue, stop making trouble! I called you over to kindly remind us, not to tell us what to do! The two of them aren't sober yet; we'll interrogate them naturally once they're awake!"
He paused, then gritted his teeth: "Both of them will be interrogated!"
He never expected things to be so coincidental; under the city-wide crackdown, the first person to be "caught" was Zhuang Qingxiang.
Although it's unknown whether Zhuang Qingxiang has any connection with Li Shengnan and the other two, there's definitely something going on between her and that man.
However, Lu Congyue was so captivated by the beauty that he recklessly splashed dirty water on the unconscious man.
"Captain Meng, Zhuang Qingxiang is awake!" someone shouted.
Lu Congyue rushed into the ward.
"Stop right there!" Meng Shuisheng rushed forward to stop her. "Lu Congyue, do you have no sense of discipline?! She's a suspect now!"
"Did she kill someone or rob someone? Without evidence, how can you call her a suspect?" Lu Congyue calmly retorted. "I think she's a victim. She must be terrified right now. I have to stay with her!"
"Nonsense!" Meng Shuisheng was furious. If he had known that Lu Congyue had been so infatuated that he had lost his mind, he wouldn't have called him over.
Lu Congyue: "Who's really making a scene? Instead of protecting the victims, are you protecting the criminals?"
Meng Shuisheng was so angry at his words of turning the tables that his head was throbbing.
There was also someone sabotaging them on the side.
"Captain Meng, what they said actually makes sense. We haven't questioned them yet, so we don't know what happened. Maybe Zhuang Qingxiang really is a victim?"
These words weren't said lightly; it's just that Zhuang Qingxiang is so beautiful that it's hard not to think the worst.
"Let me go in and ask first!" Meng Shuisheng said immediately.
Lu Congyue didn't stop her, standing at the ward door with a stern face: "I have to keep an eye on her, lest someone try to pin a trumped-up charge on her."
Meng Shui was so angry that she wanted to exchange a few blows with him.
He stormed into the ward. Zhuang Qingxiang was already awake, sitting against the headboard, her face as white as the hospital sheets.
Meng Shuisheng immediately understood why his colleague had said that.
She was indeed very beautiful. Even now, looking sickly and haggard, she was still heartbreakingly frail. Her black hair was disheveled, her skin was pale, and her clear black and white eyes were filled with fearful moisture. Looking at her, only four words came to mind: pitiful and helpless.
Meng Shuisheng's lips twitched.
Well, no wonder she can bewitch Lu Congyue, a staunch non-marriage advocate.
"Officer Meng!" Zhuang Qingxiang saw Meng Shuisheng and quickly sat up straight, her voice urgent, "Where is that man?"
Meng Shuisheng snapped out of his daze and asked seriously, "Comrade Zhuang Qingxiang, I was just about to ask you, who is that man, what is your relationship with him, and what are you two...?"
"Officer Meng, we can't let him get away!" Zhuang Qingxiang interrupted him urgently. "He's still unconscious, isn't he? We must find someone to keep an eye on him, find two more people..."
Meng Shuisheng frowned deeply: "Just who is he?"
