Chapter 982: 982 I'll Show You Something

Feng Yangyang stared intently at Lin Gantang.

Why was it her?

Why was it always her!

Wen Yanqing sensitively detected the malicious gaze from the other party, and pulled Lin Gantang even closer to his side for protection.

The whole room’s attention suddenly focused on Lin Gantang and Lin Fan.

The only exception was Gu Zhichuan’s gaze, which was different. He looked at Lin Gantang with longing, for he had always wanted to see her but never had the chance. Sometimes, a fleeting glance from a distance was not enough to quell his yearning.

However, when he noticed Lin Gantang’s hands intimately clasped with Wen Yanqing’s, Gu Zhichuan’s expression darkened, and he looked away.

Lin Gantang recalled the earlier scene when she discovered Xing You. She had seen someone struggling in the water and the yacht sailing away, but she indeed hadn’t witnessed the crime.

Lin Gantang’s gaze flickered slightly, but if she said she had seen it, could it be that Feng Yangyang was…

“How can you prove my innocence solely based on your one-sided statements!” Feng Yangyang shrewdly intercepted the conversation, “Everyone remembers the old grudge between Lin Gantang and me. Don’t forget how she ran away from her wedding because of her resentment towards Brother Gu and my relationship. Her testimony is not credible!”

Xing You clenched her teeth tightly.

Without a witness, was she supposed to let the scheming Feng Yangyang escape?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xing You couldn’t accept this!

And Feng Yangyang, who had swiftly gained control of the situation, let out a breath stealthily.

Without evidence, the rest would be easy.

Knowing that she was liable to slip up if she talked too much, she remained silent, only gazing at Xing You with reproachful eyes and weak tears, as if there were countless grievances she couldn’t voice.

Yin Zhen and Xing You were hardly friends. Her earlier defense of Xing You was spurred by her sense of justice and fear of the sinister attacker.

Now without evidence, it wasn’t her place to say more.

Chen Lingyun, who had a bone to pick with Xing You, sneered at her, “Maybe someone threw herself into the sea and is trying to bite back at Miss Feng. Miss Feng said it herself, you two like the same person. To get rid of a rival in love, it’s possible to make false accusations.”

“Chen Lingyun, are you out of your mind!” Xing You glared at her furiously.

“Look, you’re angered. Did I hit a nerve?” Chen Lingyun retorted, “If today’s false accusations against Miss Feng spread, she’ll carry the stigma of harming others. How will she live her life? Xing You, I didn’t expect you to be so vicious.”

Xing You was so angry she wanted to smash Chen Lingyun’s head in.

To everyone else, it seemed like a juicy scandal of two women fighting over love, and their eyes drifted to Gu Zhichuan with implications of romance.

President Gu sure was capable, to have women so enchanted by him.

What started as a confrontation had practically veered off course. Just a few tears from Feng Yangyang and she was almost escaping the predicament easily.

Releasing her grip on Gu Zhichuan’s clothes, she stepped out from behind him and as she looked up, she abruptly collided with Wen Yanqing’s gaze.

That gaze, so sharp it sent a chill through the spine, even with just a single glance, bore into one’s heart.

Feng Yangyang froze on the spot.

Lin Gantang knew Feng Yangyang wasn’t as simple as she appeared on the surface and also believed that Xing You wouldn’t joke with her life. Seeing the situation turn against Feng Yangyang, Lin Gantang asked, “Xing You, are you sure you felt someone push you from behind?”

“Of course,” Xing You said assertively, “Such a strong force couldn’t have been an illusion!”

Wen Yanqing spoke calmly, “Since there are conflicting stories, why not let the police handle it? Miss Feng, if you are innocent or not, a trip to the police station will make everything clear.”

Feng Yangyang subconsciously resisted, precisely because of the certainty in his tone.

It was as though he was utterly confident that her guilt could be proven.

Why? Why was he so certain?

Feng Yangyang felt a sharp sense of doubt rising within.

At that moment, Lin Fan, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly stood beside Wen Yanqing. He was pale as he handed over his phone with a trembling voice, “Mr. Wen, I have something to show you.”
