Chapter 995: Chapter 995: This is what she fears the most
A sense of comfort wrapped around her, and Lin Gantang soon started to feel drowsy, as if she was about to fall asleep.
Wen Yanqing pulled the quilt up for her, and seeing no reaction, he tried to withdraw his hand but found that Lin Gantang had opened her eyes again.
She blinked and then sat up, looking very seriously at Wen Yanqing.
Wen Yanqing steadied himself, thinking he had only told her he was done with his work, not a major issue, so she wouldn’t be losing sleep to come and question him, would she?
Lin Gantang assured him that it was not the case; just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly thought of something that kept her tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep without asking.
“Where is Chen Zhou? Where is he?” Lin Gantang asked.
After Feng Yangyang’s true identity was exposed, everyone’s attention was on her.
Chen Zhou was an accomplice in the car accident involving Ruan Ning, but in the end, it seemed like everyone, including the police, forgot about him, and he wasn’t taken away.
Wen Yanqing touched her foot and offered a hand, “Your feet are a bit cold, let me warm them for you.”
Lin Gantang drew back her foot, sitting cross-legged, her gaze fixed straight on him.
Wen Yanqing had no choice but to answer, “Chen Zhou? He went where he should have gone, of course.”
“?” Did I just hear a meaningless statement?
Lin Gantang asked again, “Why would Chen Zhou be willing to accuse Feng Yangyang at your instruction? Wouldn’t that be outing himself?”
Wen Yanqing explained, “To investigate the car accident, I sought Superintendent Chen. Chen Zhou didn’t anticipate the car accident would be re-investigated; knowing Superintendent Chen suspected him, he realized he couldn’t escape. At that point, I sent someone to persuade him, and Chen Zhou knew the outcomes of being caught versus turning himself in, so he agreed to cooperate.”
Lin Gantang mused, “Actually, just by revealing the truth about the car accident, that would have been enough to give Feng Yangyang a hard time, right? If Chen Zhou had testified earlier, Feng Yangyang wouldn’t have been able to enjoy her freedom, and none of this would have happened.”
“Not necessarily, after so many years, there are too many variables, and just reopening the case with Chen Zhou’s testimony might not have led to any results. Besides, Gu Zhichuan, this person, ah…” Wen Yanqing shook his head, “If it weren’t for the subsequent events, with evidence lining up, Gu Zhichuan wouldn’t have come to his senses so quickly.”
Lin Gantang had a terrifying speculation, “If she had known in advance that Chen Zhou would testify, do you think she would have acted first to get the upper hand?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Gantang thought about Gu Zhichuan’s eyes, deceived by Feng Yangyang, and felt that Wen Yanqing’s concerns were not redundant.
“Chen Zhou’s biggest role was to destroy Gu Zhichuan’s care and soft heart for Feng Yangyang. As long as Gu Zhichuan learned that his past lover had died because of Feng Yangyang, he would no longer protect her.”
Not to mention that Feng Yangyang had also received the victim’s heart in a transplant.
First, Gu Zhichuan saw with his own eyes the evidence of Feng Yangyang’s murder of Xing You, shattering his trust in her, overturning his understanding, and causing him to doubt his own judgment.
The video that Lin Fan had inadvertently recorded turned out to be a great help.
Then, Chen Zhou came forward to speak out about the past, bringing Gu Zhichuan to the peak of his hatred toward Feng Yangyang.
Later, when Feng Yangyang’s instigation of Shi Muzhen to commit murder and arson was exposed, along with Xing You’s corroboration, Gu Zhichuan was resolute in no longer showing mercy.
Feng Yangyang cared the most about Gu Zhichuan, didn’t she? So from start to finish, step by step, they exposed her cruelty to everyone, causing Gu Zhichuan to be disappointed in her, to hate her, to despise her, to detest her, and to never accept her ever again, allowing her to lose him completely.
That was indeed what Feng Yangyang feared the most.
“That’s why Feng Yangyang would deny Chen Zhou’s words vehemently because she knows she absolutely cannot admit to the crime of killing Ruan Ning.”
In the end, the plan proceeded smoothly, and the outcome was as Wen Yanqing predicted.
The hopeless Feng Yangyang directly implicated Gu Zhichuan, reasoning that if they couldn’t be together in life, they would die together.
What do you think?
