Chapter 277: Chapter 175: The Dark Side of Human Nature, Worse than Death_2

Tang Yanran stared at him: "Lawyer Duan, I don’t recall ever harming your wife. If you’re speaking up for Qingchen, then let it be!"

"You haven’t harmed her? Weren’t the four men from Jiaoyang Club orchestrated by you and Qian Zhi Ling?" Duan Feixun asked harshly.

"No!" Tang Yanran said decisively, "Even though I’m no longer a doctor, I haven’t stooped to murder! If I say no, it means no!"

It was then Fang Zimo spoke: "I assure you with my life that Yanran had nothing to do with those four men."

"What credibility does a man who has lost his reason to love have?" Duan Feixun retorted coldly.

"But it really wasn’t her doing!" Fang Zimo was getting anxious, "I know Yanran hasn’t gotten over Qingchen, but she would never resort to murder, Old Gu, really..."

However, Tang Yanran looked indifferently at Fang Zimo, "There’s no need for your false kindness to speak for me!"

The crowd fell silent!

Fang Zimo parted his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

"Qingchen, how do you want me to repay for the harm done to Bei Ran?" Tang Yanran fixed her gaze on the man, "Is death truly the only way out?"

Even at this moment, as Tang Yanran gazed at him, her eyes were still filled with tender affection.

Gu Qingchen, however, disregarded all her affection, his lips curling slightly: "Then you might as well die!"

Duan Feixun fanned the flames from the side: "Yeah, that’s a good idea. Commit suicide as an apology!"

Tang Yanran ignored what others were saying and continued to look at Gu Qingchen, "Do you know that when you love someone and can’t have them, you’d rather die in front of them..."

Gu Qingchen responded unapologetically: "Then die!"

He himself was once a doctor, sworn to save lives, but even he could utter such words, showing how much he detested Tang Yanran!

"Alright then..." Tang Yanran, as a doctor, knew the human anatomy very well, understanding exactly where to strike to hit a vital spot...

As she spoke, she took out a small knife from her hand. Although it was just a common small knife, for a doctor, cutting the major artery meant minutes until death.

"Don’t..." Fang Zimo snatched the knife from her hand, he grabbed her wrist and with a Capture Technique knocked the small knife from her hand, "Yanran, I know you’ve realized your mistake and have the resolve to repent. We should give you a chance, not drive you to a dead end..."

"I’ve said, it’s none of your business!" Tang Yanran screamed out of control: "Fang Zimo, can’t you just stay away from me? Can you stop meddling in my affairs..."

"I can’t!" Fang Zimo reached out and embraced her, "I don’t care what others think, in my heart, you’ll always be a lovable junior sister!"

"Stop it, no matter what you say, I will never like you..." Tang Yanran pounded on him with her fists, "I will bear the consequences of my wrongdoings..."

"Can you bear it?" Fang Zimo looked at her and yelled, "Dying for a man who doesn’t love you, is that fair to the medical books you’ve read? To your career? To your parents?"

Tang Yanran cried without speaking, and after a while, she finally said: "This is my fault, what else can I do?"

Fang Zimo pointed at a big tree not far away, where something resembling a bundle was hanging, "Let’s see who this is first before we start accusing anyone!"

As an outer layer was torn off, a woman’s head was revealed – it was Qian Zhi Ling.

Fang Zimo splashed a bucket of cold water on her head, and Qian Zhi Ling woke up. She saw herself hanging from a tree, surrounded by several men she recognized.

Upon seeing Tang Baijin, Qian Zhi Ling immediately pleaded, "Baijin, save me! It was Fang Zimo who kidnapped me..."

Tang Baijin looked at the woman with utter disgust, "What trouble have you caused again, huh? I’ve told you time and again to get out of my sight. Even seeing you pollutes my eyes!"

"But, I’m your fiancée, if something happens to me, how are you going to explain it to Auntie?" Qian Zhi Ling quickly attempted to persuade Tang Baijin.

"I regret to inform you that Mrs. Tang and I have also long severed ties," said Tang Baijin referring to his mother as Mrs. Tang.

Qian Zhi Ling knew that he and his mother had fallen out, but now she had no way out and had to place her bets on Tang Baijin.

"I’m carrying your child, Baijin..." Qian Zhi Ling said, bursting into tears as she spoke.

"You really are shameless!" Tang Baijin said coldly. "Do you think I would lay a hand on a woman like you? Don’t make a fool of yourself here! And what have you done? You better confess honestly!"

Seeing that Tang Baijin was unmistakably not going to help her, Qian Zhi Ling quickly turned to Tang Yanran for help, with an expression of deep remorse, "Yanran, Yanran...I know I didn’t stop you, and that’s my fault, but you really shouldn’t have kidnapped Tian Xin, then lured Bei Ran here, trying to get rid of your love rival as soon as possible!"

"You..." Tang Yanran was furious to find herself being accused by the very person who instigated the issue, "How dare you spout such nonsense! It was you who planned the kidnapping of Tian Xin. You ordered your men to knock him out with Chloroform and brought him here, hanging him on the tree, and then you trapped Bei Ran into coming here, and tied Tian Xin to this trap so that even if Bei Ran saved him, they would both fall into it. I agreed to this only because I was drunk, but once I sobered up, I didn’t want to harm them! That’s why I took Tian Xin’s phone and sent a message to my brother..."

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhi Ling retorted, "So you turned against me! Tang Yanran, have you forgotten how Gu Qingchen treated you at Jiaoyang Club? He had so many men against you, and yet you betray me by telling Tang Baijin about this..."

"Yes! I knew my brother cares most about Bei Ran and he would come looking for her without asking for any reasons. Then Bei Ran and Tian Xin would be saved," said Tang Yanran, looking at Tang Baijin, "I’m sorry, bro, I know I was wrong..."

Tang Baijin slapped Tang Yanran across the face, "Do you have any idea that this could have killed Bei Ran?"

"I know, that’s why I sent you the message..." Tang Yanran’s face started to swell.

Tang Baijin trembled with rage, "Today, you promised me to be a good person, and I actually believed you. But what did you do? If Gu Qingchen and I hadn’t arrived in time, Bei Ran would have died!"

He would rather she ignored him while alive than to accept Bei Ran leaving this world like that...

Fang Zimo simply couldn’t stand it anymore. He took Tang Yanran into his arms and then addressed everyone, "Kidnapping Tian Xin and setting the bait for Bei Ran was Qian Zhi Ling’s idea. Yanran was drunk and not in her right mind when she did the bad deed with her. But fortunately, Yanran pulled back from the brink, and that’s how Bei Ran and Tian Xin were able to be saved. Qingchen, I know you’re angry with Yanran too, and she definitely shouldn’t have agreed to do such a thing with Qian Zhi Ling. That’s why I brought Qian Zhi Ling here, for you to deal with as you see fit..."

Gu Qingchen had been silent all along, but his icy demeanor pushed the tension at the scene to a critical point.

"Fang Zimo, if someone did this to the woman you love, what would you do?" Gu Qingchen looked at him, his eyes sharp as razors.

Fang Zimo replied, "I would make them wish they were dead!"

Gu Qingchen snorted, "I want to see how you’re going to make her wish she were dead!"

At that moment, Fang Zimo produced a syringe, "This is a new drug I’ve developed..."
