Xu Yichen's eyes flashed with anger as he deliberated on Gu Ruochu's question.
"Ning Tangxi had come to bail out Zhou Yunxi. She knew that I was your friend, and she approached me to ask about your relationship with Huo Nanchen. Of course, I told her that you two were planning on holding a new wedding. I don't know why she went crazy and argued with me on the main road. I accidentally pushed Cheng Xi during our confrontation. You all know what happened after that."
"That's not right," Gu Ruochu retorted. "Yichen, I know that you're afraid of interfering with my relationship with Huo Nanchen, but you shouldn't hide anything from me."
When he heard Gu Ruochu's plea, Xu Yichen smiled bitterly."I didn't want to come between you and Huo Nanchen. The only thing I've left out is that I didn't see the child when I was arguing with Ning Tangxi. By the time I saw him, it was too late. Even now, I still find it strange. Why was Cheng Xi beside my leg? I was the one who had acted rashly. If I had not blindly bumped into Zhou Yunxi, none of this would have happened."
"Yichen, you're wrong."
Gu Ruochu expression darkened as she continued, "Even if you had not bumped into Zhou Yunxi, this disaster would still have happened. Ning Tangxi's goal was obvious. If she couldn't harm me, she wanted to make sure that one of my friends suffered."
When Rong Xiao heard Gu Ruochu's words, his eyes lit up. "Are you saying that this was a conspiracy from the very beginning? Did Ning Tangxi use her child to frame Yichen so that she could drive a wedge between you and Huo Nanchen?"
"But..." Xu Yichen hesitated. "Her son's arm was broken. Ning Tangxi looked devastated after the accident occurred. It didn't seem like she was putting on an act. A tiger can never eat its own cub. Besides, Ning Tangxi cares too much about her son."
Gu Ruochu shook her head doubtfully. "I've heard Huo Nanchen say that Cheng Xi was born after Ning Tangxi was raped. Sometimes, mothers who give birth after a rape incident don't love their children like ordinary mothers. I don't know if that could be the case with Ning Tangxi."
The three of them fell silent as they thought about Ning Tangxi's role in Cheng Xi's accident.
Rong Xiao suddenly stood up and slammed the table excitedly. "I told you! The doctors in Country M were all top-notch. Even if there was a forty percent success rate in Cheng Xi's surgery, its clear that there was another reason for their failure. It's possible that Ning Tangxi was behind the operations' failure. What a vicious mind! She couldn't even spare her child."
"I think so too."
At this moment, the three of them felt enlightened. Ning Tangxi looked to be the cause of Xu Yichen's problems.
"Don't alert anyone about this first." Gu Ruochu suppressed her excitement. "It's impossible to find out much about the actual events during Cheng Xi's accident, but we can start from the hospital in Country M!"
"Okay. I'll visit my father and ask him to give us a few men so that we can investigate." Rong Xiao was just about to leave when Gu Ruochu pulled him back on the sofa and scolded, "What are you so anxious about? Wait until we've discussed everything with Yichen before we make a move!"
"I'm too excited." Rong Xiao laughed and shouted at Xu Yichen. "Did you hear that? Gu Ruochu's trouble will soon be gone, and you'll be able to return to the city soon! I really want to expose the hypocritical and evil mask on Ning Tangxi's face!"
Soon, Ning Tangxi would lose her good reputation.
It would be interesting to see how the Ning family would react once she was exposed.
Xu Yichen smiled faintly and gazed at Gu Ruochu. "Be careful! If Ning Tangxi was able to avoid the Ning and Huo family while tampering with Cheng Xi's surgery at the hospital, she must have had help. You have to keep this a secret. Don't let anything slip in front of Ning Tangxi and her invisible helpers."
