Lin Ning sat on the sofa in a daze, looking at Qin Chengyan across from her. She didn't react for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Qin Chengyan was distressed and worried. He hurriedly said, "Ning Ning, don't be like this. I'm sorry, I lied to you. But don't be like this. Think about the child in your belly, you … "
"You said you wouldn't lie to me again, but why?" Lin Ning finally spoke, but she choked and asked.
Qin Chengyan lowered his eyes and said painfully, "I had no other choice at that time. Your body was so weak. And he … died to save you. What did you want me to do? Tell you that another man died to save you, and bury a thorn in our side? I admit that I was selfish in this matter, but feelings are selfish in nature. It's too narrow-minded and can't accommodate a third person. Besides, he's already dead. Even if I told you, what could I do? It would only make you sad. "
"That's why you hid it from me, deliberately hid it from me. You told me that he was still alive and well, so that I could live happily without burdens? "Lin Ning cried and asked.
"If he really loved you, isn't this what he wanted to see?" Qin Chengyan said, "If I were him, I would rather you live happily without knowing the truth than bear a lifetime of guilt and pain because of my death. I don't want you to feel at ease for the rest of your life."
"Oh, sob sob sob …" Lin Ning covered her face and cried bitterly.
What Qin Chengyan said was right, but … Zeng Shaoyi was dead. Shaoyi died to save her, but she didn't even know about it.
Why, why did she have to be so stupid?
She should have thought about how they could survive in that situation. What was the salty thing she drank later? The smell of blood was so strong. Why didn't she think about it properly?
He sacrificed his life to save her, but she didn't even know about it.
"Ning Ning, don't cry." Qin Chengyan held her in his arms and said with red eyes.
Lin Ning sobbed, "He died to save me. How can I not be sad? Qin Chengyan, how am I supposed to repay this life? How am I supposed to …? "
"I know, I know you're upset. But Ning Ning, do you know? If I had to swap places with him, I would rather it be me who saved you. But it's too late to say anything now. What we need to do now is to save Xu Meng's family. We can't let them become the next victim. "
"Yes, Xu Meng, Xu Meng's family." Lin Ning immediately wiped her eyes. How could she only care about sadness and forget about Xu Meng.
"Think about it carefully. Do you and Lin Shan know anything in common? We only have two hours. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid … "
"Lin Shan, are you sure it's her?" Lin Ning asked.
Qin Chengyan nodded. "It was just a guess before, but Zhan Jian has confirmed it. It's indeed Lin Shan. But now we don't know where she is. I alerted her last time when I called the police. This time, she didn't tell me the address. She only said that you know it. So now, the only person who knows where it is is you. "
Lin Ning's mind was in a mess. She couldn't remember anything because of the successive blows.
She and Lin Shan had been separated for many years. Where could she and Lin Shan know the same place?
"What's wrong? Ning Ning, are you upset? " Qin Chengyan saw Lin Ning suddenly holding her stomach and moaning in pain. He was so scared that his heart almost jumped out.
Chen Heng immediately came in with the doctor. The doctor immediately prescribed her medicine and felt her pulse.
Fortunately, the baby was fine. It was just a little affected.
"Mrs. Qin, you have to calm down. Otherwise, it will hurt the baby. Your baby is still very young. It's very easy for it to miscarry. "The doctor advised Lin Ning.
Lin Ning said with red eyes, "But I have to think quickly. If I can't think of that place, Xu Meng's family will be finished."
"Drink some water first. Calm down." Qin Chengyan immediately poured her a glass of water to calm her down.
Lin Ning nodded. She didn't have time to be sad. Even if her mind was in a mess, she had to force herself to calm down and think of that place.
Perhaps it was because she was quick-witted. As time passed, Qin Chengyan began to feel nervous. Lin Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. She said firmly, "I know a place. It must be there. It must be there."
Qin Chengyan was delighted. He immediately said, "Okay, I'll arrange for people to go there right now."
Lin Ning said, "No, you can't bring people there. Didn't you say that Lin Shan asked me to go alone? I'll go alone. If you bring people there, you'll definitely anger her. You don't know how deep Lin Shan's feelings for Zeng Shaoyi are. She can do anything for Zeng Shaoyi. Maybe she really can't help but kill Xu Meng's family. "
"But how can I rest assured if you go alone? No, absolutely not." Qin Chengyan firmly opposed.
Lin Ning said bitterly, "This happened because of me. I should be the one to solve it. Xu Meng's family is innocent. I can't drag them down because of me. Cheng Yan, don't stop me, okay? I know you hid it from me for my own good and I can understand you. But you have to understand me. Zeng Shaoyi's death has already made me very sad. If something happens to Xu Meng's family because of me, I won't be happy for the rest of my life even if I live. "
Qin Chengyan looked at Lin Ning. Lin Ning's eyes were very firm. It was a pleading and insistence that couldn't be refused.
After a long time, Qin Chengyan closed his eyes and nodded.
He couldn't speak anymore. He could only nod to express his feelings.
Lin Ning didn't know what would happen if he went alone, but he couldn't stop her. This was the first time in his life that he felt so powerless. He knew that there was danger ahead. He knew that … she might never come back. But he couldn't stop her.
"I'll send you there!" Qin Chengyan stopped the driver from getting in. He opened the door and sat in. He said to Lin Ning in a deep voice.
Lin Ning hesitated for a moment.
Qin Chengyan said, "Don't worry. I'll wait outside. No, I'll wait far away. I won't go in."
"Okay." Lin Ning finally agreed.
Qin Chengyan fastened the seat belt and started the car. He drove Lin Ning to the destination she told him.
This place was the place where Lin Ning and Lin Shan lived when they were young. It had been abandoned for a long time.
Lin Wenyuan used to work here for a period of time. So he moved here with his family. They lived here for about three or four years before they moved away. This place was also abandoned after they left.
At that time, the relationship between Lin Ning and Lin Shan wasn't so bad. When they didn't have other playmates, they used to be very close.
Lin Shan once told her that if they didn't get along well in the future, she would come to this place to play. It would remind her of the good times when she was young.
