When the police arrived, both girls were seriously injured. Industrial sulfuric acid in the van had spilled almost entirely on one girl’s face and hands, corroding her clothes as well.
Especially for the girl in black, the sulfuric acid streaming down her face also injured her throat, making it difficult for her to produce any coherent sounds. The police could no longer comprehend what she was trying to convey, and eventually, she departed with a lingering sense of resentment.
The arriving paramedics tried everything, but the injuries of the girl were too severe, and ultimately, there was nothing more they could do.
The other girl, shackled but thankfully not facing a life-threatening situation, was lifted into the ambulance.
Yingying glanced toward the direction of Xu Wen’s ambulance and overheard someone saying, “This girl is in bad shape. She’s lost so much blood, and her injuries are severe. It’s beyond saving.”
A slight arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. Indeed, that person’s plan worked well, and now she would be the sole heir to the Xu family.
The van driver, also taken away, was still shouting desperately, “Yingying, you can’t die! If you die, who will give me money?”
Both she and the truck driver were apprehended by the police. With the incident concluded the villagers who had come to help scattered.
The involved parties, Song Fan and Gu Chen were taken to the police station. Due to the magnitude of the case, even being scions of two prominent families did not guarantee an immediate release. The police were preparing for a thorough interrogation.
“Where’s Wen Wen? Where is she?” A woman hastily approached Gu Chen, and nobody stopped her. “I’m asking you! What happened to Wen Wen? Gu Chen, speak up!”
Song Fan assessed the woman before her, tall and with a pair of large eyes slightly upturned. Her entire attire and accessories emitted an air of affluence. Hearing her address Xu Wen, she must be Mrs. Xu.
“Aunt, I’ve been at the police station the entire time. I don’t know about her condition,” Gu Chen replied politely as he stood up.
He had seen Mrs. Xu many times before. His mother, being a doctor, had treated numerous members of prominent families in Beijing, and Mrs. Xu was one of them. After being saved, Mrs. Xu became good friends with Gu Chen’s mother.
Gu Chen remembered Mrs. Xu as easygoing, unceremonious, and a hearty person. However, the woman before him now was domineering and even a bit frantic. It seemed she had heard about Xu Wen’s situation and had come to support her daughter.
Mrs. Xu grabbed his arm, expressing her anger, “You’ve always known that Wen Wen liked you since childhood. Even if you don’t like her, can’t you at least look after her as a little sister? Why did things escalate to this extent?!”
She glanced at Song Fan beside Gu Chen. Xu Wen had called her several times, mentioning that Gu Chen had a new woman around him. Initially, Mrs. Xu was reluctant to intervene, understanding that the engagement between the two families was nothing more than a casual jest. Even if there was an arranged marriage back then, it was obsolete.
However, witnessing the unharmed and even cold gaze of the beautiful girl before her, Mrs. Xu, considering her daughter might be a wanted fugitive, became furious. “Are you the third party? How dare you seduce someone else’s fiancé at such a young age. If anything happens to Wen Wen, I’ll make your whole family accompany her in death!”
“Please watch your language!” Gu Chen shook off her hand, positioning Song Fan behind him. “There’s no connection between me and Xu Wen. Just because you’re Mrs. Xu doesn’t mean you can talk nonsense. Don’t mention the engagement being a jest. Even if it were real, my marriage wouldn’t be your call.”
“You!” Mrs. Xu pointed at Gu Chen, but she couldn’t utter a word.
Gu Chen ignored her increasingly ashen face and continued, “Song Fan is mine. Xu Wen has provoked us multiple times, even fabricating evidence and framing us. She’s even suspected of hiring someone to commit murder. If you have the time, save it for later. Think about which lawyer you’ll hire for her defense!”
Mrs. Xu’s complexion worsened, and she, who had only received a rough summary from her subordinates, didn’t anticipate so many complications in such a short time. Unwilling to back down, she coldly snorted, “Do the police have evidence? Even if there’s evidence now, our family’s heir…”
“Has the family been contacted for Xu Wen?” A female police officer rushed in urgently. “Xu Wen had an accident and is being treated at the hospital.. Contact her family immediately!”
