Xu Tingyu looked at Zhang Wan, her eyebrows knitting slightly. "What are you doing here?"
Qi Shifeng had just gone to the next room to rest at her strong request, and now she showed up. It was hard not to suspect that she had been waiting around.
While talking to Zhang Wan, Xu Tingyu quietly slipped her phone into her hand, ready to call the police if Zhang Wan had any ill intentions.
However, Zhang Wan had no such intentions. Instead, she suddenly dropped to her knees and bowed her head to the ground with a thud in front of Xu Tingyu.
This made Xu Tingyu frown even deeper.
What kind of normal person would come to a hospital ward in the middle of the night to kneel and kowtow?
People who didn't know might think she was performing some kind of ritual!
"Miss Xu, I'm begging you. Don't be so cruel to the boss. He really loves you. Please."
As soon as Zhang Wan opened her mouth, Xu Tingyu didn't want to hear any of it.
"Can you stop spouting this nonsense? You may not be tired of saying it, but I'm sick of hearing it."
She gave Zhang Wan a cold glance and was about to tell her to leave.
But Zhang Wan kowtowed again with a thud. "Miss Xu, I'm not talking nonsense. The boss... he's at death's door."
Perhaps it was too painful for Zhang Wan to say that Qi Ye was at death's door. Her voice trembled at the end.
Xu Tingyu, who had been uninterested before, finally showed some curiosity.
"What, another act of playing the victim?"
It was well - known that Qi Ye had always been in poor health.
Zhang Wan had always used this as an excuse to make Xu Tingyu behave.
"No, it's true. The boss has developed kidney failure. The situation is really serious."
"He has to return to the UK as soon as possible for further treatment. Please go and persuade him."
"He has no will to live now, but if this goes on, he will really die. Please."
Zhang Wan seemed unable to accept the words "Qi Ye" and "die" in the same sentence. So it was very difficult for her to say these words.
Kidney failure?
Xu Tingyu remembered the handfuls of pills Qi Ye took.
"He's not a child. He knows what to do. Even if I go to persuade him, will he listen?"
"What you should do now is not to beg me, but to find the doctor and ask for the best treatment plan."
Although Xu Tingyu felt sorry for Qi Ye, a young man in such poor health.
She still couldn't forgive him.
A person in poor health should understand the preciousness of life better. How could he kidnap Youyou and take him to such a place?
How could he cause so much real harm to Qi Shifeng?
She would never forgive him for these things.
Seeing that Xu Tingyu still refused, Zhang Wan suddenly looked up, staring at her fiercely.
Because she had kowtowed too hard, a piece of skin on her forehead was broken, and blood was oozing out.
Combined with her venomous look, it was really scary.
"Xu Tingyu, if the boss dies, I will never let you go."
She was really at her wit's end. No matter how she tried to persuade Qi Ye, he refused to go back.
Even on the way back after visiting Xu Tingyu in the hospital today, he actually said, "A person like me might as well die sooner."
How could he?
How could Qi Ye talk about himself like that?
He just fell in love with someone who didn't love him back. He just wanted to hold on to the few rays of light in his life. Why was it so difficult?
It was all Xu Tingyu's fault.
If she could be nicer to Qi Ye, he wouldn't have lost his will to live.
"What you're saying is really ridiculous. I didn't kill him. Even if he really dies, what does it have to do with me? Why won't you let me go?"
Xu Tingyu thought Zhang Wan was crazy.
She was the one who should be sent to a mental hospital for electrotherapy.
She seemed normal on the surface, but in fact, her values were completely off - track.
"It's your fault. You made the boss fall in love with you, but you're not willing to be responsible for him. What did he ever do wrong to you for you to treat him like this?"
Zhang Wan was on the verge of a complete breakdown. Instead of getting up, she just sat on the ground and wailed.
For so many years, both her work and life revolved around Qi Ye.
Now that Qi Ye's health was failing, she seemed to be on the verge of collapse too.
"If falling in love with someone means I have to be responsible for them, then you're in love with Qi Ye too. Why doesn't he take responsibility for you?"
"Zhang Wan, I really suggest you see a psychologist. Why are you so infatuated with him when he treats you so badly?"
"On the island, he even had people torture you. Don't you know that's illegal?"
"You've tolerated his disrespect for you. Isn't this a form of PUA?"
"Of course, you should also take Qi Ye to see a psychologist and let him understand that love is not coercion but a two - way street."
Now that Xu Tingyu had regained her memory, she understood why Zhang Wan had suddenly "fallen ill" on the island.
She really didn't understand why Zhang Wan would like a man who would beat her at the slightest provocation.
Wasn't this mental control?
Qi Ye was the same.
In the past three months, he had fabricated many details of their supposed love.
Now that she thought about it, she really didn't understand how he came up with those conclusions.
Some details were magnified again and again to prove that they were meant to be a couple.
It was really ridiculous. When they first met, she wasn't even eighteen.
And they didn't really get to know each other. Their few exchanges were just polite responses because he was a fan.
Why did he make up so many things in his head?
Even to satisfy his own desires, he kidnapped her son and forced her.
He took her for surgery and hypnotized her, making her lose or distort her past memories.
Was this something a normal person would do? This was the kind of behavior of a变态 in a horror novel.
In short, he was sick.
Both Zhang Wan and Qi Ye were sick.
Seeing that Xu Tingyu was so unyielding, Zhang Wan completely lost it and cried even louder.
"Xu Tingyu, you really deserve to die. You should have died under that motorcycle."
For some reason, Xu Tingyu thought this sentence was strange.
So she immediately frowned and asked, "How do you know it was a motorcycle?"
Since the perpetrator hadn't been found yet, the whole case was kept confidential.
Apart from the handling police officers, Qi Shifeng, and Jiang Li, no one knew that the肇事 vehicle was a motorcycle.
Others only knew it was a car accident.
Why did Zhang Wan know?
Apart from those in the know, only the perpetrator would know.
"Did you hire someone to kill me?"
Xu Tingyu quickly added.
A few days ago, Du Jiran had reminded her to be careful of Zhang Wan's revenge.
She had thought at the time that Zhang Wan wouldn't be so crazy.
Unexpectedly, she was bold enough to hire a killer in the capital. Just like her boss, she was a lunatic.
