164 A Slip of the Tongue
Sang Qianqian seemed to have fallen into a cold, dark abyss. Her body and soul seemed to be floating and sinking. The only thing she could feel was Shen Hanyu’s hand, which she was holding tightly.
When Shen Hanyu was pushed into the emergency room, she was pulled away by the medical staff. The last bit of hope she felt from his palm seemed to have disappeared.
Her body sunk to the bottom, as if she had been hit by a heavy blow. Sang Qianqian felt as if she was being torn apart as a sharp and intense pain attacked her body and mind.
“Qianqian!”
!!
Sang Minglang anxiously held onto the tottering Sang Qianqian and helped her sit on the long bench at the side.
Sang Qianqian looked as if she had lost her soul. Her face was completely pale and her eyes were staring straight ahead, empty and without any spirit.
She was still wearing her wedding dress. The initially snow-white dress was now stained with bright red blood. Her hands felt like the coldest ice in the middle of winter.
Sang Minglang’s face darkened. He took off his coat and draped it over his sister, wrapping her tightly.
Yun Li, who had rushed to the hospital with her, felt her heart ache. “I’ll go get some hot water for Qianqian.”
Yun Li carefully placed a cup of warm water in Sang Qianqian’s palm. This warmth caused Sang Qianqian to regain her senses.
She looked down at her blood-stained hands and dress, then looked up at the bright red words “Emergency Room.”
Her consciousness seemed to be pulled by something, and she was back to that nightmare.
She saw Shen Hanyu lying on the bed in the emergency room with his eyes closed and his body covered in blood. Several doctors were performing the surgery on him with serious expressions.
The monitor suddenly let out a sharp alarm. After a weak fluctuation, the electrocardiogram turned into a straight line.
A doctor anxiously shouted for a heart-strengthening injection. Figures were running around, and the sound of rapid footsteps was chaotic.
It was a stormy night with thunder and lightning.
The girl with tears left her last words as she sobbed, “I will definitely not like you; I will only harm the Sang family and you. Shen Hanyu, I want both of us to live happily…”
The glass of water in Sang Qianqian’s hand fell to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Sang Minglang’s brows furrowed tightly.
He had never seen his sister like this in his life. Her eyes were filled with fear.
“Qianqian, don’t be afraid. President Shen will be fine.”
Yun Li thought she was worried about Shen Hanyu, so she gently held her hand to comfort her.
Sang Pengcheng hurried over. His eyes reddened as he looked at his daughter, who seemed to have lost her soul.
Sang Minglang lifted his eyes to look at his father. It hadn’t even been an hour, but Sang Pengcheng seemed to have suddenly become much more haggard.
“How’s Shen Shaofeng?” Sang Minglang asked in a low voice.
Shen Hanyu’s accident shocked everyone at the scene. Shen Shaofeng was so shocked that he fainted on the spot.
Sang Pengcheng’s tone was extremely heavy. “His life is not in danger for the time being. Guo Dingsong is accompanying him in the ward.”
Sang Minglang didn’t say anything more. Sang Pengcheng also fell silent.
The air in the corridor was sullen.
—
The wedding hall had been completely sealed off.
All the guests and hotel staff weren’t allowed to step out of the wedding hall before the police had cleared the area.
Guo Muyang stared at the murderer on the ground who had already committed suicide, and a never-before-seen brutality rose in his heart. He wanted nothing more than to tear this person into a thousand pieces.
The murderer had used a silenced pistol, and the cheers at the scene were so loud that the sound of the bullet was drowned out.
Fortunately, the security guards at the scene reacted quickly enough.
When they realized something was wrong, they immediately took measures to protect Shen Hanyu.
the murderer had fired three shots. One hit Shen Hanyu’s left chest, and the other two hit the security guards. Before he was caught by the security guards, the man committed suicide on the spot.
The man was about forty years old and was wearing the uniform of a hotel staff. No one knew how he got in.
In the wedding venue today, not only were there many security guards arranged by him, but there were also many police officers in casual clothes hidden among them.
Even the guests and hotel staff had to go through a security check and wear a special security bracelet before they could enter.
However, the murderer was so brazen that he sneaked into the wedding scene with a gun under heavy surveillance and killed someone in full view of everyone.
Guo Muyang transferred the most capable people to cooperate with the police to quickly analyze the surveillance data of all the people entering and leaving the wedding venue today.
When he had basically figured out the murderer’s background, Guo Muyang couldn’t believe it. This person was one of the delivery men who helped Xie Shi’an carry the gifts earlier!
After he came in, he changed into the hotel staff’s clothes by using the excuse of going to the bathroom. He never left at all.
The security guards and plainclothes police officers were all on high alert today. They were all waiting for the murderer of the previous shooting.
However, it seemed that they overlooked this man.
What was even more difficult for Guo Muyang to accept was that this person’s gun had actually been taken out from the gift box that Xie Shi’an had given Sang Qianqian!
The gifts were too big to pass the security check. Therefore, the security guards on duty opened another door for them to move in.
No one suspected anything wrong with these gifts.
Sang Minglang had personally brought Xie Shi’an in, and all the security guards knew that Sang Minglang was Sang Qianqian’s older brother.
Which guest brought by an elder brother would harm his own sister?
After the wedding ceremony began, all the security guards and police officers had their attention on the hall. No one paid attention to the gifts in the front hall.
Everyone was staring at the venue as if they were facing an enchanting show.
In the lobby, the murderer arranged the gifts as a hotel staff member and secretly took out the gun. Then, under the pretext of delivering wine and food, he entered the wedding scene in an imposing manner, causing a tragedy!
...
Guo Muyang stared at the surveillance video, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
He thought back to the time when the shooting had just happened. There was a note hidden in the bullet, telling Shen Hanyu to stay away from Sang Qianqian.
Then, he thought of Shen Hanyu’s suspicion of Xie Shi’an.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his hair was drenched in sweat. His hand that was holding the phone was trembling.
When they investigated Xie Shi’an that day, they did not find anything unusual.
In addition, he felt that Xie Shi’an was unlikely to do that kind of thing, so he did not follow this line of investigation.
Who would have thought that he would make such a big mistake today?
—
After Xie Shi’an gave her the gift, he went to the beach aimlessly.
The scene of Sang Qianqian wearing a wedding dress and being half-embraced by Shen Hanyu kept replaying in his mind.
When he returned to the hotel, it was already night time, but he couldn’t fall asleep. Instead, he sat up and waited for dawn before leaving Ming City.
...
To his surprise, there was a rapid knock on the door at this time, and dozens of police officers rushed in with loaded guns and surrounded him.
Xie Shi’an was startled and shocked. He was taken to the police car and brought to the police station.
Only then did he realize he had been listed as the number one suspect in Shen Hanyu’s murder.
After he was interrogated by the police, he came out in handcuffs.
He saw Guo Muyang waiting outside with a dark face.
