Chapter 245: Chapter 158: She is His Tonight

Tch!

Bei Ran absolutely wouldn’t believe it!

Gu Qingchen’s scalpel was definitely meant for saving lives; she would never believe that he would use a knife to kill someone!

Therefore, she approached him instead, "Great Doctor Gu, by portraying yourself so negatively, are you trying to stop me from liking you?"

"No matter how bad I am, don’t you like me anyway?" Gu Qingchen lifted her into his arms.

Bei Ran sat on his lap: "Then do you believe that I love you?"

"I believe," Gu Qingchen said softly.

How could he not believe her?

She might occasionally be a little sly or indulge herself once in a while, but only she would go to great lengths to consider things for his sake, for his reputation.

"Qingchen, I love you..."

Bei Ran gazed at him, saying with deep emotion.

"Little thing..." Gu Qingchen was also gazing at her, "Marry me again, will you?"

"I really need to give this some thought!" Bei Ran said playfully.

Gu Qingchen tightened his hold on her waist: "What’s there to think about? You were mine before, you are mine now, and you will only be my woman in the future!"

"Look at you, so domineering!" Bei Ran gazed at him, pouting her lips.

Her little mouth was red and incredibly cute.

"Yes, I am that domineering!" Gu Qingchen lowered his head to kiss her pouted lips, "You can only be mine!"

"Alright!" Bei Ran kissed him back, straightforwardly saying: "I’m yours tonight..."

Bei Ran was very passionate that night.

Today is September 18th, and by September 25th, Bei Ran, let’s see you escape!

Afterward, Gu Qingchen drove off!

A week passed by quickly!

At noon, Bei Ran was having lunch with Wu Kang; she didn’t feel like going out today, so Wu Kang ordered takeout.

Zheng Tong made a phone call over, "Ranran..."

Once Bei Ran heard her crying, she immediately said, "Sister Tong, what happened? Take your time and tell me!"

"I’ve got the latest news, the four men from Jiaoyang Club are already dead..." Zheng Tong said while crying, "Although I’m a doctor, such a gruesome death is too cruel!"

Bei Ran put down her chopsticks, "Sister Tong, take your time, what happened?"

Zheng Tong said, "Today, the police found four bodies in the suburbs, all hanging from tree trunks, and they have been horrendously skinned..."

Bei Ran immediately retched, and she threw up the food she had just eaten...

"Sister Ran..." Wu Kang was also startled, he quickly handed her a tissue and then water, and after Bei Ran wiped her mouth and took a sip of water, he said, "Sister Ran, could it be that you’re pregnant?"

"No..." Bei Ran shook her head, "Wu Kang, drive to Sister Tong’s clinic..."

Although what Gu Qingchen said was a joke, the fact that the four men actually died in such a manner was true!

How could Bei Ran not be shocked and terrified?

Before long, Wu Kang drove her to Zheng Tong’s dental clinic.

Tian Xin and Song Ziyu had also arrived!

Among the four of them, it was Song Ziyu and Zheng Tong who knew the men from Jiaoyang Club the best, but even so, these four men had also helped Bei Ran and Tian Xin, so they felt sorry and mournful over the deaths of these four men.

Zheng Tong said, "Such a brutal method of murder is too extreme. Song Xuyao told me that according to forensic identification, they died between 11 pm and 2 am on the night of September 18th, and to skin someone so completely, it’s highly likely that the perpetrator is a doctor, and specifically, a skilled surgeon..."

"Song Xuyao?" Bei Ran repeated these three words, "The officer Song I met at the police station last time?"

"Exactly!" Zheng Tong nodded, "I’ve been looking for those four men all this time. At first, I thought that their disappearance had something to do with Duan Feixun, but I didn’t expect them to die such a tragic death... Later, I accidentally met Song Xuyao and asked him about the whereabouts of those four men. He said he hadn’t seen them either. Today, when he got the news, he called me..."

Tian Xin thought for a moment, "But who would want to kill those four men in such a way?"

"This is just horrifying!" Song Ziyu shivered as she listened, "I don’t dare to sleep alone tonight!"

Zheng Tong said with tears, "I also want to know, who is so cruel to have killed them!"

After leaving Zheng Tong’s clinic, Bei Ran kept asking herself, who could be so cruel? Who would do such a thing to four men?

If it were just one person, could they really handle four strong men?

However, traces of chloroform were found in the nostrils of the four men, which proved that they were knocked out first before someone made their move!

Bei Ran thought about it all the way, and then returned home, where it was already very late.

The kids were also already asleep!

As soon as she got home and walked up to the second floor, she was pulled into someone’s arms, and she was startled, but when she saw that it was Gu Qingchen, her eyes widened even more.

"Qing... Qingchen..." Bei Ran gazed at him, "Can we go somewhere, please?"

Gu Qingchen would naturally agree, but what he did not expect was that the place she wanted to visit was the remote wilderness where those four men had died.

Gu Qingchen noticed her pale face and the body he was holding was constantly trembling. He looked intently at her: "What’s wrong?"

Bei Ran looked at him: "Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead!" Gu Qingchen nodded.

Bei Ran said softly, "In your professional opinion, how long does it take to skin a human body?"

Gu Qingchen’s expression changed instantly: "Bei Ran..."

Bei Ran, frightened by his expression, quickly stammered, "I just want to know..."

"If it’s a professional forensic expert, or a surgeon, it’s estimated to be half an hour per body," Gu Qingchen answered her nonetheless.

Bei Ran nodded, "Then that fits the timeline perfectly!"

"Fits?" Gu Qingchen’s voice sharpened!

"Yes!" Bei Ran continued, "Song Xuyao said that the time of death was roughly from eleven at night to two in the morning. A professional surgeon could definitely do it within three hours..."

"That’s right, a professional surgeon, who knows the human anatomy like the back of his hand, might even do it faster!" Gu Qingchen said seriously.

Bei Ran nodded, "You’re more of an expert in this than I am. Qingchen, you went out after eleven that night and came back very late. Did you..."

She stopped speaking as she saw Gu Qingchen’s face darken, "Qingchen..."

Gu Qingchen stared at her: "Are you trying to say that I might have seen those four men from Jiaoyang Club?"

Bei Ran was taken aback...

"Then, you want to ask where I went during those hours? What did I do? If it were me who skinned them, it wouldn’t take half an hour per body, right?" Gu Qingchen continued to look at her.

Bei Ran’s eyes showed disbelief...

"That night, the 18th of September, the timeline of the crime fits perfectly, and I also have a motive since I was unhappy about you asking them to accompany you for drinks!" Gu Qingchen snorted heavily.

Bei Ran’s eyes were filled with fear as she looked at the man before her...

Without giving her time to buffer and think, without even allowing her the opportunity to speak, he said: "The key is that night, I personally told you that I skinned those four men and hung them in the wilderness..."

"Qing... Qingchen..." Bei Ran struggled to speak.

Gu Qingchen stared at her: "Bei Ran, you’re trembling, you’re afraid of me? Do you believe in your heart that I am the murderer, is that it?"

Before Bei Ran could respond, a familiar voice came through: "Gu Qingchen, even the woman by your side is convinced you’re the killer, what more can you argue?"

Bei Ran stepped back in shock, leaning into Gu Qingchen’s embrace. She hadn’t expected to encounter Song Xuyao here!

Moreover, Song Xuyao had overheard the exchange between the two of them.

And Song Xuyao had already been convinced early on that Gu Qingchen was the murderer!

Clearly, Bei Ran was set up by Song Xuyao!

Now, Gu Qingchen looked intently at Bei Ran. Did Bei Ran invite him here just to trap him?

Was she actually part of a scheme planned early on and had taken sides with Song Xuyao?

Bei Ran shook her head, her anxious eyes brimming with tears. She genuinely did not know how Song Xuyao happened to be here!

How could she possibly set up Gu Qingchen?

Even if she was a bit scheming and played small tricks on him, this was a matter of human life. How could she possibly set a trap to catch him?

In this world, there’s nothing more despicable than being betrayed by one’s closest confidant!

"Qingchen, believe me, I really didn’t collaborate with him..." Bei Ran hastened to explain.

At that moment, Gu Qingchen averted his gaze from her face and looked at Song Xuyao, who was standing not too far away, dressed in casual clothes.

Under the moonlight, Song Xuyao’s black attire made him appear as solitary and grim as a wrathful deity, and his whole being radiated a chilling aura.

Song Xuyao, however, smiled, more of a cutting edge than a laugh, "Miss Bei, you are a law-abiding citizen. Cooperating with the police to solve the case and turning in the criminal out of righteousness, we welcome that. Don’t worry, I have already proposed a reward of two hundred thousand for you..."

"Song Xuyao, you’re slandering me!" Bei Ran stared at the man. No wonder she felt a glint of hatred when he first looked at her; now, as he framed her, she was even more convinced that he was setting up Gu Qingchen.

But now, Gu Qingchen had fallen into Song Xuyao’s trap, and it was Bei Ran who had brought him here!

Bei Ran reached out and grasped Gu Qingchen’s cold fingertips, speaking anxiously, "Qingchen, do you believe me? I really didn’t cooperate with him, I didn’t know he would come, and I certainly didn’t turn in the murderer out of righteousness..."

Trust has always been something lacking between them.

Even the slightest disturbance could destroy the fragile relationship between them.

And this time, it concerned a case of four human lives!

Once such trust is destroyed, it will be an irreparable abyss!

Bei Ran feared that he would believe Song Xuyao’s instigation, she didn’t want their relationship to fall apart...
