Chapter 791 Look for a Chance
Ding Tong felt that she had been in a coma for quite a long time.
It was so long as if she would never wake up again.
The light shone in her eyes when she finally woke up, dazzling her unpleasantly.
She shaded her eyes with one hand and then looked around with a frown.
There was nothing but cold walls, tables, and chairs.
Beside Ding Tong’s bed, medical instruments were at work. She raised her hand to feel her legs.
For an instant, a surge of sharp pain excited every nerve in her body.
She breathed out with anguish.
At that moment, she felt completely down in the dumps.
“It was real. Everything that had happened was real...”
She got shot, and Yuan Xi fell to his death.
It was not a dream. It was real.
Tears flowed freely from her eyes at the thought of Yuan Xi’s death.
Her face soon bathed in tears.
No one noticed her waking yet, but nurses would come and check her condition regularly. When a nurse opened the door, after half an hour, she saw Ding Tong was struggling to rise from the bed.
Seeing her movement, the nurse stepped forward immediately to help her. “You are awake, Miss Ding?” asked the nurse.
“Yeah,” Ding Tong said. She turned to the nurse and asked, “Where is Shao Tianze?”
The nurse froze a moment when she heard Ding Tong.
Ignoring the stunned look on the face of the nurse, Ding Tong went straight, “Let Shao Tianze come in. He is waiting for me, I guess.”
Shao Tianze had indeed, as suspected, been waiting in the dean’s office until she woke.
Apart from waiting, he asked the dean especially, “You know what Changle and I have done, don’t you?”
Hearing what he said, the dean understood immediately that Shao Tianze was trying to figure out if he would betray him by letting out the secret that Shao Tianze had killed his own wife.
The dean sighed and said, “You don’t have to worry about any of this, Tianze. No one would ask me to say it out, and I won’t tell anyone myself.”
The dean knew well about how Song Yunjia died.
One who knew too much never ended well.
But he might live longer if he kept his mouth shut.
The dean was crystal clear about it.
Shao Tianze was much more relieved when he heard the dean.
He said, “Thanks. Please keep the secret for us, then.”
“Sure,” the dean sighed. Just then, the nurse called to tell them that Ding Tong was awake. “Tianze, Miss Ding is awake. You can see her now,” the dean said.
Shao Tianze nodded and then walked out of the dean’s office with Gu Changle.
After they walked out the door, Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze suspiciously, “Are you sure we can trust him?”
“Yeah. Gu Changge is now quite dead. Even if she’s still kicking in Song Yunxuan’s body, she hasn’t forced the dean to sell us out in the first place. We don’t have to worry about the dean’s popping out to accuse us by himself.”
Gu Changle thought he got a point.
But she still did not trust the dean. She said, “Only the dead keep their mouths shut forever, Tianze.”
Shao Tianze understood her. He said, “We’d better not kill him now. I’m afraid there are traps. I don’t want to get us in trouble.”
Gu Changge knew the dean’s secrets when she was alive, so she had every reason to terrify him into identifying Shao Tianze and Gu Changle.
But she didn’t.
There were two possibilities left only: One was that the dean had something from Gu Changge that was enough to protect himself from her.
The other was that Gu Changge had already set a trap, waiting for Shao Tianze and Gu Changle to finish the dean and thus to jump into her trap by themselves.
That was why they could not kill the dean, at least not now.
Hearing his words, Gu Changle said, “Maybe we can ask Ding Tong to do this.”
“Ding Tong must deal with Song Yunxuan first.”
Gu Changle was silenced by Shao Tianze’s words. She said after a moment, “Fine. Just go with your plan, then. I won’t go on with it.”
No matter what she said, Shao Tianze would not listen, anyway. So it was better to shut up.
He might do what he liked. Gu Changge had completely vanished, so there was nothing to fear.
Gu Changle and Shao Tianze went to the ward to see Ding Tong.
Seeing Gu Changle was also coming, Ding Tong frowned.
Gu Changle asked Ding Tong, “How are you feeling, Miss Ding?”
“Please get out of the room, Miss Gu.”
The first thing Ding Tong said was to drive Gu Changle out.
Gu Changle was unpleasant, of course. She asked Shao Tianze with a frown, “Tianze, I’m full of good intentions to come and visit Miss Ding. Why is she casting me out?”
“We both know we are using each other. Why bother letting Miss Gu come to show your so-called sincerity, Mr. Shao?”
Ding Tong said it in a very straightforward manner.
Hearing that, Shao Tianze turned to Gu Changle and said, “Could you leave a second and take a walk? I’ll call you if I need anything.”
Gu Changle could tell that Ding Tong really hated her, so she gnashed her teeth and left the ward.
As soon as Gu Changle left, Ding Tong began, “I need you to help me take revenge.”
“Do you have any proof that Song Yunxuan caused Yuan Xi’s death?”
Shao Tianze asked Ding Tong.
A faint sneer crossed Ding Tong’s face. She said, “What does it matter if I don’t have proof? Yuan Xi got blind because of Song Yunxuan. Now Yuan Xi is dead, and I know she is right in it. I will definitely kill her.”
“You have no chance to win. Song Yunxuan must be fully prepared,” Shao Tianze persuaded.
But he was crystal clear that Ding Tong hated Song Yunxuan like hell.
His persuasion would be of no use at all.
“I don’t mind if I have to die with Song Yunxuan, as long as you help me kill her.”
Shao Tianze remained silent for a moment.
Ding Tong stared at him and asked, “You might want to think about it?”
“I have to think about it, of course. This is no small thing.”
“First, I need your help with the funeral for Yuan Xi.”
“Well?”
Ding Tong was asking for a favor, but the way she spoke was rather demanding and impolite, which did not sound like a request at all.
After that, Ding Tong added, “It won’t cost you much effort to arrange a proper funeral. If you help me, everything in the Yuan Family will be yours after the funeral.”
“I’m nonrelative to the Yuan Family. Your property won’t, under any circumstances, belong to me, so how can you give it to me? You are the one who should take it over.”
“I’m gonna die with Song Yunxuan, and you just need to wait and win.”
Ding Tong said to Shao Tianze.
What Ding Tong said was just what Shao Tianze wanted. He could not help laughing, “Are you sure you are willing to do that, Miss Ding? Will you really hand over to me, a total outsider, the family property from Yuan Xi, the one you would give your life to protect?”
Ding Tong narrowed her eyes and looked out through the window. “Yuan Xi is dead. These possessions are no longer important. They are no better than garbage to me,” she said.
Hearing that, Shao Tianze could not help smiling. “I’ll give Mr. Yuan a great funeral. Try not to die if you can, Miss Ding. I’m sure Mr. Yuan would feel pain if he knew,” said Shao Tianze.
“No, he wouldn’t. He would want me to avenge him as fast as I could and go find him in that world.”
The discussion between Ding Tong and Shao Tianze soon finished. Shao Tianze walked out of the ward.
Gu Changle did not leave.
She had been waiting at the door of the ward.
Seeing Shao Tianze came out from the room,
Gu Changle asked him, “Well? What did she say?”
“Ding Tong wants an elaborate funeral for Yuan Xi and a vengeance on Song Yunxuan.”
“Is there any good to be got by it?” Gu Changle cared more about the benefit.
Shao Tianze smiled when he heard Gu Changle. He said, “Ding Tong hates Song Yunxuan like hell. She said that she would rather die with her as long as she could kill her. She also promised to pass Yuan Xi’s possessions to me after she dies.”
Gu Changle laughed immediately at his words. “Then we can help her,” she said.
“True. Besides, Yuan Xi’s possessions can be helpful for us to get over the difficulties of the Shao enterprise.”
Gu Changle could not help but laugh, “Fancy that! I’ve assumed Ding Tong and Yuan Xi to be our greatest enemies, but now one of them is dead, and the other won’t live long. They’ve even done us a favor by sacrificing themselves.”
Gu Changle was extremely looking forward to Yuan Xi’s property.
Yuan Xi used to buy her a huge diamond, making her covet the Yuan Family’s fortune ever since.
When she heard that she could get everything left by Yuan Xi, she began secretly to look forward to that day’s coming.
“They’ve got plenty of money for us to get over the crisis in the Shao enterprise, but not before Ding Tong dies. Yuan Xi’s money is not guaranteed as long as Ding Tong is alive.”
“Ding Tong will certainly die.”
Shao Tianze said, “Ding Tong’s death is the prerequisite of getting rid of Song Yunxuan.”
Gu Changle did not understand what Shao Tianze was going to do to help Ding Tong.
She asked curiously, “Song Yunxuan is in the Song Family and half-dead, but her house is tightly secured. What should we do to get Ding Tong in that house since she got hurt so badly last time when she tried to break in?”
“We don’t have to go to the Song Family.”
“We don’t have to go to the Song Family.”
Gu Changle was even more confused.
Shao Tianze said, “Isn’t Song Yunxuan engaged to Lu Feng? The wedding is coming up.”
“The wedding?”
Gu Changle was still confused.
Shao Tianze explained to her patiently, “The Song Family will have no heir. Song Yunqiang is in prison, and Song Yunying has got married. Lu Feng will definitely hurry up to marry Song Yunxuan since she is ill in bed and nearly dead.”
“Then he will take over the Song enterprise?”
Gu Changle’s eyes brightened when she finally understood Shao Tianze’s plan.
“Yep,” Shao Tianze nodded and said, “Lu Feng will go to the Song Family frequently in the next few days and ask Song Yunxuan to marry him as soon as possible.”
“Will Song Yunxuan agree?”
“She is now more dead than alive. Lu Feng is gonna push through the wedding, even if Song Yunxuan doesn’t want it,” Shao Tianze said with a dark smile.
