When Lin Yichen heard her sudden question, the expression on his face froze.
What's going on?
Why did she suddenly ask that?!
Lin Yichen knew almost instantly that his plan had been exposed!
But he couldn't figure out what was wrong!
What he originally wanted to do was to stabilize Nian Nian first, and then use his two children to threaten Lu Shiqian to leave her. That would be double insurance.
I didn't expect that I would be exposed like this before I could do anything.
He didn't intend to just accept his fate, but smiled awkwardly, "Nian Nian, what did you say? How could I kidnap..."
But before he could finish his excuses, the ward was pushed open by a strong force from outside.
Lu Shiqian strode in, holding the backup video and recording USB disk given by Jiang Lin.
His suit was unbuttoned, making smooth arcs in the air with his wanton movements, and his face was expressionless, as if he was braving the biting cold air.
"Lin Yichen, there's no need to pretend."
"Ah... Lu Shiqian."
Lin Yichen felt panic for a moment, but it was only fleeting. He didn't think he would be exposed so soon, "I don't understand what you are talking about at all."
"Can't understand?"
Lu Shiqian sneered, "Are you not understanding, or are you pretending not to understand?"
He held up the USB flash drive in his hand, "I'm afraid you haven't thought that I have backed up the contents of Duan Liya's phone, right? So even if you have people kidnap Yubao and take away the phone she is holding, it will not help.
.”
Lu Shiqian stepped closer and said in a cold voice without any emotion, "You have been exposed."
He didn't care what Lin Yichen's reaction was. He glanced back and saw that Jiang Lin immediately took the computer over. It only took a moment to turn it on and open the file.
"Nian Nian, take a look first."
Gu Nian took a deep look at Lin Yichen.
The man still looked confident, even with a hint of disdain.
She reached for the computer, placed it on her lap, and clicked the play button.
The sound inside was clearly transmitted to every corner of the ward. The content of the video and audio were similar, and the fact that Lin Yichen colluded with Duan Liya had been determined.
Even...he was the one who brought it up first.
After reading it, Gu Nian's eyes were a little red, and he was a little unwilling to face this fact. He raised his head and looked at Lin Yichen, "Why?"
Lin Yichen sat on the stool in shock, unable to believe all this.
Lu Shiqian only met Duan Liya for a few dozen minutes, how could Duan Liya hand over the evidence to him so easily!
After all, if she really agreed on terms with Lu Shiqian, Niannian should have seen the evidence on the day Lu Shiqian left Duan Liya.
So he concluded that Lu Shiqian's evidence must have been found by him when he went to Duan Liya's house to search.
He snatched the evidence almost as soon as Lu Shiqian got it.
What I didn't expect was that Lu Shiqian actually had a backup!
And he even took it over directly and showed it to Nian Nian in front of him!
At this time, facing Gu Nian's questioning, Lin Yichen suddenly couldn't say a word.
What else could he say?
The irrefutable evidence is in front of you, both audio and video. Even if you deny it, you can quickly find someone from the technical department to distinguish the truth from the false.
The veins on Lin Yichen's forehead were throbbing, and he couldn't find an outlet for the panic in his heart. It was like a crazy horse running rampant in his mind.
He understood at this moment that he had lost.
Total loss.
But……
Why!
Everything was planned so perfectly, even the evidence was in hand, and there were no flaws in Nian Nian's rhetoric. Why would Lu Shiqian still win?!
It shouldn't be like this!
He has obviously already thought about the wedding!
Niannian should stay by his side!
Although Lin Yichen didn't speak, the changing emotions in his eyes, the madness revealed in his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists all told a fact.
He had no way to refute.
These... are all true.
When Gu Nian realized this fact, her nose became inexplicably sore and she couldn't hold back a single tear.
She really didn't expect such a result.
Even though Lu Shiqian had told her before... But she still had some illusions in her heart, not wanting Lin Yichen to be a deep-minded and vicious person.
How could it be?
He is obviously so good...
He once saved his own life when she was still a stranger. He didn't even consider her troublesome and took her back to Country Y to rescue her with all his strength. After that, he gave her a second hope of living.
Yao Bao and Yu Bao only stayed because of his insistence.
But now...
But for his own selfish reasons, he did things that hurt them again and again.
Even if nothing irreversible has happened yet, with his current level of madness... what about the future?
Gu Nian was extremely disappointed and even felt empty in her heart.
"Lin Yichen."
She called his name solemnly, just as she had called him so seriously when she woke up from the hospital bed and saw her savior.
"I never thought there would be a day like this when you and I are on opposite sides, doing things that want to hurt us."
As she spoke, her tears fell uncontrollably.
How to describe that feeling?
Nothing can be done.
"If you really did something to me, I wouldn't blame you, not to mention you saved me again." This was referring to the time when he fell off a cliff in Tibet. "After all, this is what I owe you.
I should return it."
"But……"
Gu Nian's eyes suddenly became sharp, and even had an aura that could not be ignored.
"But why did you reach out to Yao Bao and Yu Bao! They are still so young! And they are innocent in matters related to you! Why do you want to kidnap them?"
Lin Yichen kept listening to what she said. The hands on his knees had already tightly grasped the thin fabric, as if it was about to be torn into pieces in the next moment.
"I..." There was suppressed pain in his voice.
"I didn't want to kidnap them, let alone... do anything to harm them."
"Then what happened today?!"
When Gu Nian got excited, his voice broke slightly.
"If you ask people to take them away, can you really guarantee that nothing will happen to them?"
This loud question left Lin Yichen speechless.
Lu Shiqian quickly walked to the hospital bed, took the tissue from the bedside table and placed it next to Gu Nian, comforting him softly: "It's over. They are fine now."
Gu Nian said nothing and took the tissue in his hand to wipe her tears.
She knew that all this could not be undone, but the anger she was holding in her heart had to be vented. Otherwise, how could she be worthy of her relationship with him as a family member for so many years? And her trust in Lin Yichen who never asked why.
Lu Shiqian turned around, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Lin Yichen.
"I have sincerely thanked you. If it weren't for you, I might never have the chance to see Nian Nian again in this life, nor would I have the chance to have two children."
His eyes were so deep and unfathomable.
"But you should never, absolutely shouldn't extend your claws to them."
"Oh……"
The emotions that Lin Yichen tried his best to control were instantly unable to be restrained and poured out when Lu Shiqian opened his mouth.
