Qi Liya briefly explained to Xi Xiyan what had happened: Dr. Xia and the nurse who was his accomplice had been murdered.
Previously, when Xu Xiyan first overheard Dr. Xia and the nurse plotting to sabotage Qi Liya, she had deliberately allowed them to carry on with their plan because she wanted to uncover the actual mastermind hiding behind the scenes.
On the day of Qi Liya’s surgery, Dr. Xia had been ready to operate on Qi Liya, confident that no one had caught on to his deceit.
Unfortunately for him, Xu Xiyan had secretly arranged for a few men to hide in the operating room and seize both Dr. Xia and the nurse before they could do anything to Qi Liya.
Qi Liya had not undergone surgery of any kind that day. She had fallen asleep after taking a sleeping pill, and was later told that she had been operated on.
The sham surgery had helped bring Huang Guoqiang and Qi Liya together. Huang Guoqiang had plucked up the courage to propose to Qi Liya, and Qi Liya had seen with her own eyes that the director’s love for her was entirely sincere.
After the proposal, Xu Xiyan had informed the two of them of the truth. She had handed the scheming doctor and the nurse over to Huang Guoqiang, along with the recording of the conversation she had overheard.
But just as Huang Guoqiang was getting ready to personally interrogate the doctor and the nurse, they both had been murdered.
Huang Guoqiang became the primary suspect, and was now in police custody.
“Ms. Qi, don’t worry. I’ll come over to your place now. We’ll discuss this in person.”
Peng Sicheng did not want to believe that she was mercilessly turning him away. “Are you sure you’ll be able to survive without me? Well, I don’t think so! Don’t you think it’s incredibly stupid of you to give up on me?”
“I don’t know where you’re getting all these ideas from, Director Peng. All I know is that even after we broke up, the sun has continued to rise for me every morning. The earth is still spinning. I’ve never heard of anyone not being able to ‘survive’ just because they broke up with someone.”
“But I heard that Huang Guoqiang was arrested for murder. Do you really want to throw your lot in with a murderer?”
This was the main reason Peng Sicheng had come to see Qi Liya. As her ex-boyfriend, he felt that it was his responsibility to remind her not to destroy her own future.
“He didn’t kill anyone. I know he’s not a murderer. They’ll acquit him because he’s innocent.”
Peng Sicheng’s hard, unwavering gaze was making Qi Liya feel uncomfortable. She said firmly, “It’s late. Please leave, Director Peng. God knows what kind of gossip the paparazzi will cook up if they snap a photo of us together. I wouldn’t want to ruin your career, Director Peng.”
Previously, he had been terrified of the potential negative impact Qi Liya would have on his career. He had kept a careful distance from her and pretended she was a complete stranger to him whenever they were out in public.
This time, she had turned the tables on him. She was sweeping him out the door and telling him she didn’t want anything to do with him.
Peng Sicheng was suddenly overcome with fear.
He was afraid that Qi Liya had made up her mind. He was afraid that she was no longer waiting for him.
The thought spurred Peng Sicheng into action. He lunged forward and hugged Qi Liya. “Liya, please, stop this silly tantrum. I know you’re just trying to spite me. I get it now. Let’s start over! I promise I won’t let you down this time!”
Xu Xiyan was still watching in the shadows. By this point, she had more or less figured out the relationship between Peng Sicheng, Qi Liya, and Huang Guoqiang. She clucked her tongue: who could have guessed that Director Peng was actually Qi Liya’s ex-boyfriend?
But Qi Liya had already given her heart to Huang Guoqiang. Surely it counted as harassment for the ex-boyfriend to visit her at home and pester her like this...?
