Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1435 Whoever Cries Is Right

He Weinian's expression instantly changed. He had told Wenxian before that it was fine as long as they delayed Qiao Xi from participating in the competition. There was no need to go too far. After all, they did not want Qiao Xi to die.

A car accident was uncontrollable. It would be troublesome if someone died. Not only would their plan fail, but it might even anger Gu Zheng and cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, there were many ways to make Qiao Xi unable to participate in the competition. A car accident was not a good choice.

As the car accident had already happened, He Weinian could only brace himself and help He Wenxian explain. As long as he could handle today, he could make some arrangements in the future to help Wenxian clear her name.

He Weinian frowned and retorted, "Miss Qiao, you can't spout nonsense. Wenxian has been with us since she returned home yesterday. How could she have instructed someone to hit you? If you got into a car accident, she'd be the first person to be suspected. Wenxian wouldn't have done that!"

Everyone seemed to believe He Weinian's words, but Qiao Xi sneered. "Everyone, do you still remember what Mr. He and the audience in the live broadcast said when I hadn't appeared even after a long time?"

Everyone paused and lowered their heads in shame.

"At that time, you all thought that Miss He was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. You thought that I didn't dare to come to the competition, so I used the car accident as an excuse to avoid participating. You didn't think that Miss He was the mastermind at all.

"Miss He, you're very good at using public opinion. I was injured by the car accident, and your friends cursed me for not dying. Hence, even if I really died, no one would suspect that you were the one who did it. Your reputation will be clean, and you'll occupy the identity of the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. However, this was your second mistake.

"Miss He, do you still dare to say that the car accident has nothing to do with you?"

Everyone's gazes landed on He Wenxian one after another. When they thought about it carefully, the car accident was indeed very strange! If Qiao Xi could not participate in the competition, He Wenxian would have won without fighting. She was the biggest beneficiary, so did the car accident really have nothing to do with her?

He Wenxian's eyes were filled with panic. She could only look at He Weinian helplessly.

He Tingchen's eyes were filled with shock, then he shouted angrily, "Qiao Xi! You're talking nonsense! My sister has always been careful and kind. How could she have sent someone to hit you? This must be a coincidence!"

He Wenxian bit her lip tightly and took a deep breath. The current situation was very disadvantageous to her, but as long as Qiao Xi did not have any evidence, she would not be able to convict her. There was room for negotiation.

She shed tears aggrievedly. "Xi Xi, I did take your identity, but I really didn't do such a thing. I—"

"Miss He." Qiao Xi interrupted her and asked word by word, "You're already in your 20s, yet you still want to solve the problem by crying? If crying a little can get you out of this, why do we need the police?"

"If you cry and apologize to me, everyone's heart will ache for you. If I continue to pursue the matter, it'll seem that I'm unwilling to let the matter go. Now that you're related to this car accident, you want to cry to gain sympathy and make everyone criticize me, huh?

"If whoever cries is in the right, then I'll cry too. Will everyone believe me then?"

He Wenxian's cries stopped abruptly as her tears silently fell.

Suddenly, police sirens came from outside the door. Everyone's hearts jumped.

Who called the police?

Not long after, a team of police officers quickly rushed in. When He Wenxian saw this scene, she was terrified to the point her face was as pale as paper. Her weak and aggrieved expression instantly vanished as she glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. "You…"

"Miss He."

The person who spoke this time was not Qiao Xi but Twilight, who had been in the corner. He slowly walked toward the crowd and elegantly raised his arm, revealing his wrist that was wrapped in bandages.

The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse. "I'm also a victim of the car accident along with Miss Qiao. I'm not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, the other party deliberately wanted to kill someone. Can't I call the police?"

It was Twilight who called the police!

When He Wenxian reacted, her heart instantly turned to ashes.

Twilight's identity was mysterious, and the He family could not find any news of him at all. Hence, her father thought that he was powerful and the He family was probably not his match, so they had been trying their best not to provoke him. Unexpectedly, he became the second victim of the car accident.

If it was just Qiao Xi who was injured, her father could still plead with Gu Zheng. Moreover, Gu Zheng was indebted to her father. If Gu Zheng did not agree, her father could also use public opinion to make Gu Zheng give up on pursuing the matter. However, Twilight was different. He had nothing to do with the He family. Moreover, he was injured in a car accident, so it was reasonable for him to call the police.
