Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Fortunately Not Too Stupid

Fang Anning looked at He Tingchen in shock.

She had never expected to hear the words "let her do it" from his mouth.

Zhou Muyan was even more shocked, glancing at He Tingchen and then at the Qi family members, frantically asking, "What exactly is going on here?"

Wasn’t it agreed that they would join forces to deal with He Tingchen, she would take the money, and they would take his life?

How had it come to be that both parties were now joining forces, and she had suddenly become an outsider?

Ha, how ridiculous.

After all this time, was she herself the clown?

"Miss Zhou, you can take the money and let the person go, this matter will then have nothing to do with you," said one of the Qi family members.

Zhou Muyan bit her lip, her resolve weakening.

But then she heard the man’s deep voice again: "Don’t listen to them, they are just tricking you into releasing her, then they will kill you to take the blame."

Zhou Muyan’s spirit startled again, she became even more resolute, pressing the knife against Fang Anning’s neck, "He Tingchen, aren’t you afraid that I might kill her? Think carefully, she is pregnant with your child, doesn’t your He family cherish this child?"

"It’s just a child, do you think I lack women willing to bear children for me?" He Tingchen scoffed coldly.

Zhou Muyan bit her lip and said to Fang Anning, "I didn’t expect you to be nothing more than a tool for procreation in his eyes, he could be so ruthless towards you."

Fang Anning gave a bitter smile, "I also didn’t expect him to be so ruthless."

"Aren’t you going to say something to him?" Zhou Muyan asked.

Fang Anning gave a bitter smile, "What should I say? Ask him to save me? Zhou Muyan, I advise you to let me go and take the money and leave quickly. Taking me with you won’t work, he would rather have me die than meet your demands."

Zhou Muyan was in a dilemma.

On one side was the man’s warning, on the other side was a predicament, she did not know what to choose for a moment.

Fang Anning added, "I don’t know who the man contacting you is, but I advise you not to listen to him. You can’t take me away, dragging this out is meaningless. I still understand He Tingchen’s temperament; he would prefer me dead than be threatened by you."

"Come with me to the car," Zhou Muyan said.

Fang Anning nodded.

Zhou Muyan, holding Fang Anning, moved toward the car, the Qi family members pressing in step by step, while He Tingchen stood still, his eyes deep.

Finally, Zhou Muyan, holding Fang Anning, arrived at the car.

The Qi family members said to Zhou Muyan, "Miss Zhou, you won’t be able to escape with her in the car."

"Are you sure that if I release her, you will let me go?" Zhou Muyan asked.

The Qi family members answered, "Of course we’re sure."

"Fine, I’ll return her to you."

Zhou Muyan pushed Fang Anning out forcefully, and deliberately slashed her arm with the knife making her scream in pain, diverting the Qi family’s attention to her and neglecting herself.

It must be said, Zhou Muyan was clever once again.

After pushing Fang Anning out, she took advantage of everyone’s attention being on Fang Anning, hurriedly got into the car, started it, and drove off.

But there was something she had overlooked.

Someone didn’t want her to leave, and she simply couldn’t.

The car hadn’t gone far before it lost control, no matter how much she stomped on the brakes, and finally crashed into the wall of a building with a "bang".

The Qi family members rushed to check.

Soon, they ran back and reported to He Tingchen who was holding Fang Anning, "Mr. He, she didn’t wear a seatbelt, the person is already dead."

He Tingchen nodded slightly and got into the car with Fang Anning.

Fang Anning kept covering her injured arm with one hand.

When she heard the news that Zhou Muyan had died on the spot, she was shocked and abruptly raised her head.

But He Tingchen had already held her and put her in the car, only allowing her to catch a glimpse of Zhou Muyan’s bloody appearance through the car window as they drove past the collided vehicle.

"Bandage her, but she is pregnant, so be careful with medications. Also, arrange to check on the fetus."

He Tingchen carried her to Holy Light Hospital.

As soon as they arrived, he had the doctors bandage her and arrange for an examination.

Because of the pregnancy, many medications were not suitable.

The doctor initially treated her simply because using anesthesia wasn’t advisable, seeing as the wounds were somewhat deep.

Thus, Fang Anning was told: "Please bear with it a little, we need to stitch you up."

Fang Anning nodded.

He Tingchen was right beside her, stretching his arms to embrace her and letting her lean on his chest.

His other hand reached out to hold her other hand tightly.

Fortunately, not too many stitches were needed, and the doctor was very skilled.

After stitching, the doctor let her rest for a while before arranging a check-up.

Fortunately, the fetus was fine, with no issues found.

However, considering she had been frightened, he still let a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner prescribe some calming and pregnancy-stabilizing herbal medicines, which she took home to decoct and drink.

"Do you blame me?"

On the way back, Fang Anning still remained silent, her face pale.

Ever since He Tingchen had rescued her, she had not spoken a word to him.

Even while she was getting stitches and it was painful, she just tightly held onto He Tingchen’s hand, enduring without making any sound.

He Tingchen looked at her with deep eyes, and after a long while, he slowly asked this question.

Hearing this, Fang Anning raised her head to look at him, but her eyes were dark and deep, showing no emotion.

"Do you care about my thoughts?"

"You are the mother of my child, it’s improper to blame me," the man said deeply.

Fang Anning pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Did you tamper with the car?"

"The ones who collaborated with her were from the Qi family," the man replied.

Fang Anning frowned: "So, was it the Qi family who tampered with it?"

"Not too foolish," the man felt relieved inwardly.

Fortunately, this woman wasn’t extremely foolish, not simply assuming that he had tampered with the car causing Zhou Muyan’s death, which would lead to a massive outcry and chaos.

That she could remain so calm at this moment was both unexpected and a pleasant surprise for him.

"I don’t blame you," Fang Anning said, "If it weren’t for your insistence, I would have died in the car just like Zhou Muyan. You’d rather have me die at her hands than let me get into the car with her, which was actually to save me. However, I don’t understand, Zhou Muyan said that her collaboration with the Qi family was meant to take your life. But why would the Qi family suddenly switch sides and stand with you?"

She could understand He Tingchen’s actions of rather having Zhou Muyan kill her than letting Zhou Muyan take her in the car.

In case Zhou Muyan attacked her, there might still have been a chance to save her.

After all, Zhou Muyan was not a professional killer and didn’t possess the high-level skill of inflicting a fatal blow in one shot.

But once she accompanied Zhou Muyan in the car, death was certain.

However, she couldn’t understand why, when it was clearly the Qi family who had orchestrated everything, they would suddenly switch sides at the last moment?

It made sense to kill Zhou Muyan, since she knew too much, and those who knew too much weren’t safe to keep alive.

But what was the reason behind the Qi family switching sides?

She simply couldn’t figure it out.
