Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Fleeing for Fear of Punishment_1

Xia Qingtian had never believed in Qian Wenbin to begin with, let alone the photoshopped picture he had handed over to win her trust.

It would have been okay if only it was photoshopped well, but they couldn’t even make the background look authentic. She couldn’t believe it even if she wanted to.

The only reason she hadn’t exposed Qian Wenbin yet and had been cooperating with him, was to see if she could get any valuable clues or evidence from him.

Although in a few days she could bring Chen Momo to the hospital for amniocentesis and DNA paternity testing, at that time, Momo would have no excuse to deny the truth.

However, if she could get evidence earlier and expose Chen Momo, she would be more than happy to see it.

Thinking like this, Xia Qingtian turned to Qian Wenbin, "If later, you are willing to cooperate obediently, and betray Chen Momo, then as a victim, I can plea to the judge on your behalf for a lighter sentence."

Qian Wenbin’s gaze flickered, "I don’t understand what you’re saying. This has nothing to do with Chen Momo."

Seeing that he wasn’t willing to betray Chen Momo, Xia Qingtian didn’t force him, "I hope you won’t regret the stupid things you did for her during the long time you spend in prison."

Upon hearing these words and realizing he had nowhere to escape, a hint of madness flashed in Qian Wenbin’s eyes.

"Even if I have to die, I will take you down with me!" He charged at Xia Qingtian.

"Don’t move, or I’ll shoot!" An undercover cop immediately lifted his gun and issued a warning.

Qian Wenbin ignored these warnings and continued to charge at Xia Qingtian when suddenly...

A loud noise echoed in the empty outskirts.

Qian Wenbin’s charge towards Xia Qingtian stalled as he could smell gunpowder and blood on himself. Looking down, he discovered he had been shot in the chest.

He reached for his chest, his blood seeping out from his fingers. He stumbled backwards and fell into the lake behind him.

Just as Xia Qingtian was about to check on Qian Wenbin’s situation, suddenly...

She felt a tight grip on her arm, followed by a strong force yanking her back into a solid embrace. Locked in the grip, she could feel her bones aching.

"Xia Qingtian, are you okay?" A hoarse voice resonated next to her ear, waves of warmth washing over her.

The voice sounded familiar to Xia Qingtian. It seemed to be—

Bo Jingyan’s voice!

Sure enough, lifting up her eyes, she saw that the man holding her was indeed Bo Jingyan. But how...

How could he be here?

Xia Qingtian had kept her plan to lure the snake out of the hole to herself, fearing that Bo Jingyan would oppose her putting herself in danger.

But, he had still shown up.

Regardless, just having faced Qian Wenbin’s malicious intentions, even though she had been fully prepared, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but feel scared.

Seeing Bo Jingyan now, she instantly felt a sense of security.

"I’m fine." Xia Qingtian buried her face in his chest while wrapping her arms around his waist.

After a while, Bo Jingyan finally let her go.

Just as she was about to say something, she noticed that Bo Jingyan had a sullen expression, "Xia Qingtian, who gave you the courage to use yourself as bait? And you dared to hide it from me."

If it hadn’t been for their housekeeper’s careful attention and his timely notification, he might still be in the dark about her risky plan.

"I just wanted to prove to you that the baby in Chen Momo’s belly is not yours." Xia Qingtian retracted her neck at his scolding, but still gathered the courage to explain to him.

"Plus, I borrowed some people from a senior for protection and called the police in advance. They have tracking equipment on me."

Bo Jingyan understood. Considering the number of things that could have gone wrong in her plan, she could have been in life-threatening danger if she had to confront Qian Wenbin while she was pregnant. This gave him chills.

His expression became even colder, "So? You think you’re in the right?"

"No, I know I made a mistake." Xia Qingtian could see that he was truly angry.

It had been a while since she had last seen Bo Jingyan this angry. All she could do now was try to make it up to him, "Alright, I promise you, this will never happen again."

"You dare to have a next time?" Bo Jingyan’s expression turned even colder.

"No, no more, I promise!" Xia Qingtian seemed ready to swear to the heavens.

Bo Jingyan’s face finally softened a little, he called her name with seriousness, "Xia Qingtian..."

"What’s wrong?" Xia Qingtian looked at him.

Bo Jingyan swallowed, wanting to tell her not to put so much effort into proving whether the baby in Chen Momo’s belly was his, because in fact, he didn’t care.

Even if there were ten Chen Momos and babies, they could not compare to one of her.

Moreover, compared to Chen Momo, what he’s more eager to know is—

whether the baby in Xia Qingtian’s belly is his.

Just as he was about to say all this, they heard a commotion by the lake.

"What happened?" Xia Qingtian looked towards the lake, urging him, "Let’s go check it out."

Bo Jingyan didn’t object, he cut the rope from her legs, and assisted her over to the riverbank.

Only after asking around did they find out that Qian Wenbin was shot and fell into the water. Now they were planning to fish him out and bring him back to the police station for questioning.

But by the time everyone arrived, all they saw were faint traces of blood on the water surface. Qian Wenbin was nowhere to be found.

He must have taken advantage of everyone’s distraction and swam away underwater.

The police immediately organized a search party.

Hearing that Qian Wenbin had escaped was somewhat disappointing for Xia Qingtian.

However, his attempted murder was now evident, and the police would be on full alert to search for him. There was no need for her to worry, he can’t stir up any more trouble.

After handing the matter over to the police, Xia Qingtian didn’t want to get involved anymore.

However, Bo Jingyan wouldn’t let Qian Wenbin get off so easily.

He made a phone call ordering his people to track down Qian Wenbin no matter what.

When they got back home.

Bo Jingyan forcefully commanded Xia Qingtian, "Don’t get involved in Chen Momo’s matter anymore. I have already set people to investigate what you said."

"Even if there’s no results, in a few days we will bring her to the hospital for an amniocentesis to extract DNA for a paternity test, and the truth will be revealed then."

Xia Qingtian nodded her head, indicating her acceptance.

But Bo Jingyan was not satisfied. He needed to hear her verbal agreement.

"Didn’t you hear me? Answer me!" His gaze becoming even more stern as he questioned her.

Xia Qingtian immediately replied, "I heard you."
