Chapter 802 - The Truth Back Then

Shen Qianshu was slightly flustered. Why ask Second Brother?

“Naturally, you must ask Gu Yuanli. Doctor Yang and Doctor Shen are both from Ghost City. Their car accident was staged. It was a homicide. If you want to know the truth, ask him directly. No one knows about Yang Lihua’s incident more than him.”

Just as his voice landed, the door to the ward was pushed open. Speak of the devil, and he would appear. Gu Yuanli’s expression was calm with not a single look of panic at all. “Ye Ling, I was not around. Don’t push everything that had happened onto me.”

“This is the truth!” Ye Ling’s gaze was cold.

“Second Brother, what is this all about?” Shen Qianshu asked.

Gu Yuanli walked over. He had heard a little about today’s incident too. “I’m more shocked than you that Lihua is still alive. She and Doctor Shen were indeed my people. Back then when you were giving birth, I knew that Black Rose would harm you. Thus, I asked Doctor Shen to think of ways to prevent anyone from harming you right from the start. In the beginning, I was planning to wait for your child to be born. I would then bring the child away and send him to a place where nobody knows. He will then be able to grow up safely without the Black Rose ever laying a finger on him. However, I did not expect that the child would be stillborn at birth.”

Shen Qianshu’s lips turned white. “So when I was giving birth back then, there were already so many people eyeing my child.”

Ye Ling’s expression was also not great.

“When you gave birth to a stillborn, I actually heaved a sigh of relief. If the child was living, he would also have been taken away by Black Rose since young. Everything you and Ye Ling had suffered would then all be suffered by the child. Perhaps, he would not have survived too, as he still had to suffer from torture. He might as well leave the world painlessly when born. That might have been a good ending,” Gu Yuanli said.

Shen Qianshu’s gaze turned cold. It was like a freezing arrow, shooting straight at Gu Yuanli.

“Little Shu, you could not protect your child. I couldn’t too,” Gu Yuanli said softly. “This is the truth. If you have to blame someone, you should blame Ye Ling. When you most needed someone to protect you, he was not by your side.”

Ye Ling was silent, and he oddly did not rebuke him.

This was also the truth.

Back then, he was still in the mental hospital battling with his second personality. He was almost devoured. How could he be able to protect Shen Qianshu then?

“Then why would Doctor Shen and Doctor Yang die?”

“Because they betrayed Ghost City,” Gu Yuanli said calmly. “They betrayed Ghost City for money.”

“So, that means you killed them?”

“That was the rule,” Gu Yuanli said. “Nothing can be accomplished without rules. The couple’s positions were really high. If it was not for their betrayal, why do you think Big Brother would...”

Gu Yuanli took a deep breath and said, “Tong Hua needed money to treat his illness. I understand. Ghost City also footed Tong Hua’s expensive hospital bills, but they should not have been so reckless and take such a risk.”

“This is the truth back then? They betrayed Ghost City because of money. Thus, you killed them, causing Tong Hua to become an orphan?” Shen Qianshu felt that this was absurd. “How do you expect me to tell Tong Hua that I’m actually considered his parents’ murderer?”

Her family member was actually Tong Hua’s parents’ murderer.

No matter what the reason was, he was still a murderer.

The couple only took such a risk because of Tong Hua, and that made Shen Qianshu feel more unbearable.

“This incident has nothing to do with you,” Gu Yuanli said. “If Tong Hua wants to seek revenge, feel free to come find me. I’m not wrong. If it were anybody else, they would have handled it the same way as me too. You don’t understand what we went through back then at all. If not for Yang Lihua’s sudden appearance, I was not planning to let you know.”
