The police were startled by the journalists surrounding the Fen家庭. Though only a door separated them, the process of entering took them a full hour. By the ti they got inside, their once neat and tidy uniforms had beco disheveled due to the repeated jostling.
The two parties exchanged greetings in the living room. "I think you know the reason for my visit today. The location of this villa has been exposed and it’s not very safe. Although we’ve temporarily driven the journalists away, no one knows when they’ll return. To avoid unnecessary trouble, why don’t we et with Miss Feng now? While there are fewer people here, let’s take her to the police station for questioning. What do you think?"
Feng Aimin sighed deeply, stood up from the sofa, and said, "I have no objections, follow ."
The police officers followed Feng Aimin towards Feng Yiwen’s room. When they saw the dismantled door, their faces showed surprise.
Feng Aimin noticed this and, fearing a misunderstanding, explained, "Wenwen saw the news online and beca emotionally unstable. We were afraid she might do sothing to harm herself, so we had the door removed. This way, if sothing happens, we can respond in ti.
As they walked and explained, they arrived at Feng Yiwen’s door.
After all, this was a girl’s room. Even without the door, they could enter at will, but out of respect, the police turned their backs and left the task to her father, Feng Aimin.
Feng Aimin apologized to the two police officers before entering. On the bed, Feng Yiwen lay with her hands folded on her abdon, her complexion sowhat pale.
"Get up, don’t sleep. The police are here for you," Feng Aimin said, standing by the bedside, looking at his daughter who caused him worry. His eyes were cold, but his voice was relatively gentle.
This contradictory behavior wasn’t noticed by the police.
Feng Yiwen lay peacefully, showing no sign of waking up. Feng Aimin frowned and called again, "Wenwen, the police are here to see you, wake up."
This ti, Feng Aimin shook Feng Yiwen’s hand. The icy touch froze him in place; it was definitely not a normal temperature. "Wenwen, what’s wrong? Don’t scare your father."
Feng Aimin’s voice attracted the police officers over. "What happened?"
"Wenwen isn’t breathing, and her body is cold." Feng Aimin desperately grabbed the policeman’s arm, pulling him to Feng Yiwen’s side. "Please check Wenwen, tell she’s okay?" His voice trembled.
The policeman felt Feng Yiwen’s pulse, looked at the panic-stricken man with so sympathy, and shook his head.
Feng Aimin’s body crumpled. It was visibly apparent that his vitality had drained away.
"How could this happen? I was just angry with her, just had an argunt. Why couldn’t she see things through and resorted to suicide? She was our only child, we’ve loved her since she was born. If she was dissatisfied, she could have just said so. Why use death to punish us?" Feng Aimin slid to the floor, tears streaming down his face, out of breath. Feng Mrs rush almost fainted upon seeing Feng Yiwen’s body.
Xu Ke didn’t learn much about the subsequent events, only that Feng Yiwen was dead. Her charges of murder, corpse disposal, and hiring a hitman had already been established. She was buried with disgrace beneath the earth. Feng Aimin also lost his office, leaving Shangjing with the ntally unstable Mrs. Feng. Xu Ke didn’t know where they went afterward.
Recovering at ho instead of in the hospital, Yu Xia saw the news of Feng Yiwen’s death, a slight smile forming on her lips as she looked at Xu Ke with deep admiration and reverence.
"Why are you looking at like that?" Xu Ke, feeling Yu Xia’s gaze, asked with so confusion.
"Nothing. I just think brother-in-law is amazing. To live with sister and brother-in-law is indeed very fortunate and happy, a happiness I never dared to imagine before," Yu Xia said, her face full of a satisfied smile.
"You’ll only beco happier in the future." Thinking about what the doctor said about Yu Xia’s condition, Lin ngyao felt a slight heaviness in her heart and a bitter taste in her nose. But she quickly lowered her head to conceal the emotions she accidentally let slip.
Yu Xia didn’t notice the anomaly in Lin ngyao, but Xu Ke saw it all.
After dinner, as Yu Xia returned to her room, Xu Ke held Lin ngyao’s hand to ask his concern, "I noticed you seed upset during dinner. What’s the matter? Is there sothing wrong with Yu Xia’s health again?" Xu Ke asked with a frown.
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s questioning, Lin ngyao’s eyes turned red.
Seeing her reaction, Xu Ke felt as if a weight had been tied to his heart, dragging it down. "What did the doctor say? Wasn’t she recovering nicely before?" Xu Ke asked, frowning.
"She was doing okay then, but later Xiaxia’s condition worsened once. You were busy on business trips then, and I was afraid telling you would distract you, so I didn’t say anything." Lin ngyao, head down, dared not et Xu Ke’s eyes, as tears uncontrollably stread from her eyes.
"What did the doctor say later?" Although he had just had a glass of water before coming up, he now felt his mouth dry, his throat catching as he spoke.
"The doctor said to be extrely cautious with her health from now on, not to do anything emotionally taxing, to take all precautions like during seasonal changes. Her immune system is too weak now, easily getting sick and burdening her body. There’s also one thing I’ve been hiding from Xiaxia."
"What thing?"
"She spent too long imrsed in cold water, damaging her core, making it difficult for her to beco pregnant in the future. Even if she does, her body can’t support bringing the child to term. She’ll never feel the joy of motherhood. And, regardless of treatnt, she might, she might..." Lin ngyao licked her lips, unable to voice the rest despite several attempts.
Xu Ke waited for ngyao’s completion but never heard it, the weight in his heart increasing, feeling as if his heart was being heavily burdened.
"Might what?" Xu Ke asked anxiously.
"Might only live to forty at most." With these words, Lin ngyao fell into Xu Ke’s arms, tears streaming down. She wanted to cry out loud but feared disturbing others, biting into Xu Ke’s clothes, gripping his waist tightly, trembling to restrain her feelings.
Even the normally composed Xu Ke couldn’t stop his eyes from reddening, feeling an overwhelming sense of pain and suppression.
