Tang Ruochu, as well as Uncle Zhao, formally lodged a criminal case against Zhao Xiaowan in court, and the charges included deliberate homicide, attempted homicide, and forgery of documents. If the charges were upheld and she was convicted, Zhao Xiaowan would have to spend over ten years in prison at the very least. As for the case of Tang Song's breathing tube being cut, there was surveillance video that could be used as evidence. Even if Zhao Xiaowan denied that the person in the video was her, technical analysis had already confirmed that the person was indeed Zhao Xiaowan. There was also the case of forging the equity transfer letter. After they sent it for forensic handwriting analysis, while there was some resemblance in the signature, Tang Song was not the one who signed it. The charges for the two cases were set against Zhao Xiaowan, but she had applied for bail, pending trial, because of her health. The hearings for both cases had also been temporarily postponed. This
The moment Tang Ruochu stepped into the room and saw Gu Ruoruo, Gu Ruoruo immediately rushed over. Before she could even react, the loud sound of a smack echoed in the room. Following that, Gu Ruoruo roared furiously. "Tang Ruochu, if anything happens to my mother, I’ll never let you go!" Tang Ruochu clutched her cheeks, which still stung. As she licked the corner of her lips, she tasted a hint of blood. Gu Ruoruo's slap was particularly forceful, and her ears still buzzed while her cheeks felt hot and numb with pain. Tang Ruochu bit her lip, a trace of hatred appearing at the bottom of her eyes. Raising her head and looking at Gu Ruoruo, she sneered, "Gu Ruoruo, you dare to hit me?" Gu Ruoruo snorted coldly. "What's wrong with me hitting you? For someone without a conscience like you, it's more like me sullying my hand when I hit you." She had no conscience? That was literally the joke of the century! Tang Ruochu could not help but laugh out loud, and she inadvertently
Since they had already seen through it, there was no need to pretend anymore. Zhao Xiaowan opened her eyes and swept her cold gaze over Xing Qi and Tang Ruochu. Her tone was icy as she asked, "Satisfied now?" Tang Ruochu and Xing Qi exchanged looks before they sneered. "Zhao Xiaowan, you sure are amazing. Not only were you pretending to be sick, but you were also pretending to be asleep. Do you really take us for fools?" "My mother's illness is real. She was pretending to be asleep because she didn't want to see you two," Gu Ruoruo yelled at Tang Ruochu, appearing a little flustered. Tang Ruochu looked at her indifferently as the corner of her lips curled up. "Whether it’s real or not, we'll know when the doctor examines you." When they heard about the examination, both Gu Ruoruo and Zhao Xiaowan's expressions immediately changed. Tang Ruochu looked on quietly, yet the contempt in her eyes was blistering. She turned to the sofa and sat on it before she calmly took out her m
Xing Qi’s approach to the matter was that he would not force it, but he would not stop it either. "Ruoruo, what should I do?" Zhao Xiaowan was completely panicking now. She did not want to be examined. She had faked her illness. It was all an act for her to avoid the strong arm of the law. If she were examined by the doctor Tang Ruochu had found, everything would be exposed. More severe punishment would be awaiting her. No, she did not want to go to jail. She did not want to go to jail! Guo Ruoruo went straight to Tang Ruochu and stared at her sullenly. "Tang Ruochu, why can't you let my mother go? Even if she really hurt Dad before, it was just due to a momentary lapse of judgment. Can't you forgive her?" Her words were straight-up ridiculous. Tang Ruochu burst out laughing. "Gu Ruoruo, how can you still be so shameless? How can someone forgive your mother after the repugnant things she’s done? My dad almost died, Uncle Zhao almost died too. Such serious matters can’t b
What? No way out? Zhao Xiaowan did not know about that. The only thing on her mind was that she did not want Tang Ruochu to get her way, so she did not want to let Tang Ruochu go. She ignored her daughter's persuasion as she held the knife up to Tang Ruochu with one hand and dragged her out of the ward with the other. Gu Ruoruo's face turned pale as she watched everything that transpired and chased after them. Just as she was about to grab Tang Ruochu, she heard Zhao Xiaowan bark, "Don't follow me! Go away!"Gu Ruoruo's hand froze in the air as she saw her mother drag Tang Ruochu into the elevator. She rushed over, but the elevator doors closed before her, and the elevator ascended. Compared with the panicking Gu Ruoruo, Tang Ruochu, who had a knife to her neck, appeared much calmer. She saw Zhao Xiaowan pressing the button to the top floor and frowned a little. She then looked down at the hand Zhao Xiaowan was using to hold the knife. She could actually break free from Zhao
Tang Ruochu dusted her hand as she looked at Zhao Xiaowan who was grimacing in pain and deep contempt. "Zhao Xiaowan, you really thought you could even touch a single strand of my hair? I was just playing along." Zhao Xiaowan stared at her bitterly. Her eyes were wide as she gritted and hissed three syllables out of her mouth, "Tang Ruochu!" Tang Ruochu smiled slightly. "I'm here. Say what you want, and don't waste both our time." Zhao Xiaowan glanced at the knife at Tang Ruochu's feet, and killing intent flashed across her eyes. She rushed forward and shoved Tang Ruochu away. Being caught unaware, Tang Ruochu was unable to defend herself when she got rammed. Her back slammed into the concrete fence, leaving her hissing in pain. Before she could react, she saw Zhao Xiaowan rushing toward her with a knife in hand. Her eyes suddenly widened in fear as she quickly dodged it. Seeing her dodge, Zhao Xiaowan charged again, and this time, Tang Ruochu grabbed her wrist directly. Sh
Zhao Xiaowan was dead. Tang Ruochu sat in a chair outside the Emergency Room, her hands trembling nonstop and her body shaking uncontrollably. She had not gotten over the terror of seeing Zhao Xiaowan falling. The moment she closed her eyes, the scene of Zhao Xiaowan dropping to her death would replay in her mind. She could not believe that her nemesis, Zhao Xiaowan, had died just like that. Even though she resented her, she had never wished for things to get to that point. Gu Ruoruo's heartwrenching cries kept coming from the Emergency Room, and the sorrow in her voice pounded against her head like a hammer. It was painful and extremely uncomfortable. Xing Qi walked out of the Emergency Room and saw Tang Ruochu sitting alone. Furrowing his brows, he approached her and found her shaking. "Ms. Tang, are you all right?" he asked in concern. Hearing his voice, Tang Ruochu looked up and saw him. She forced herself to speak. "I'm fine." Xing Qi frowned even more. "Ms. Tang,
Seeing how dark her eye bags were, they also knew that she had not been sleeping well, and their hearts ached even more. Song Anyi walked over, sat next to her, and gently placed her hand on her shoulder as she softly asked, "How about we accompany you out for a walk and some relaxation? You'll start to dwell on stuff when you’re bored at home." "That's right. Let's go shopping," Ying Xiaoxiao echoed. Shijin was busy at work, but he deliberately took his work home to accompany her for several days. Later on, she found that it was too troublesome for him and forbade him from doing it again. Despite that, he was worried about leaving her alone at home, so he called Xiaoxiao and Anyi to keep her company. She saw the worry in their eyes, and if she worried them anymore, she would really feel bad. The person was already dead, and it would be right for her to assume that everything was in the past. She still needed to carry on with her life. She smiled and nodded. "Okay, let's
