Why did Jiang Linlin lie in Chapter 63?
Upon seeing Xu Guohua in his uniform, Jiang Linlin's expression changed, and she finally realized where she was.
“System, system…” Jiang Linlin called out anxiously.
But ever since the system gave her that Nine-Turn Divine Soul Pill, she has remained silent.
Otherwise, it would give itself a warning when Song Yanchuan appears.
Has something happened...?
Jiang Linlin felt inexplicably uneasy, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
"Jiang Linlin, tell me honestly, where did the murder weapon come from?" Xu Guohua demanded sternly.
"It's not mine, I'll confess, I'll confess everything..."
Unable to contact the system, Jiang Linlin became flustered and panicked when interrogated by Xu Guohua.
As soon as Qin Yingxue woke up, she saw Qin Dahe staring at her without blinking.
"Third Brother..." Qin Yingxue was somewhat surprised, then realized she was lying in an unfamiliar place. "Where am I?"
"This is a hospital. The doctor said you're alright now that you're awake." Qin Dahe was overjoyed to see Qin Yingxue wake up.
Qin Yingxue had already recalled the scene of being knocked unconscious by the electric current. She quickly checked her arms and other parts of her body, and found them completely unharmed without a trace.
If it weren't for the excruciating pain, Qin Yingxue would have suspected she was hallucinating.
It seems that the system Jiang Linlin is bound to is extraordinary.
"What did the doctor say?" Qin Yingxue asked absentmindedly.
"I don't understand what they're saying. They say young people should be more restrained and not go too far in anything..." Qin Dahe tried hard to recall what the doctor had said, his face full of confusion.
Qin Yingxue snapped back to reality, her face instantly turning bright red. She quickly interrupted, "Third Brother, now that I'm awake, let's go get discharged and go home!"
"Oh... okay!" Qin Dahe nodded.
After being discharged from the hospital, the two had just stepped out of the ward when they saw Song Yanchuan coming to find them.
"How are you? Is anything bothering you?" Song Yanchuan stopped in front of Qin Yingxue and asked with concern.
Whenever Qin Yingxue saw Song Yanchuan, she would recall Qin Dahe recounting the doctor's words. Her face flushed, her heart pounded, and she felt a slight annoyance. She gave him a coquettish glare.
She'd never been this humiliated in her two lifetimes. Luckily, her third brother hadn't understood, otherwise she'd never be able to face anyone again...
Song Yanchuan didn't react for a moment, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yingxue took a step back, lowered her eyes, and said indifferently, "It's nothing."
Sensing Qin Yingxue's estrangement, Song Yanchuan frowned and his first reaction was to go and see Qin Dahe.
When Qin Dahe saw Song Yanchuan return, he asked, "How is Jiang Linlin?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back to the car."
In public, Song Yanchuan couldn't make any overly intimate gestures, so he reached out to help Qin Yingxue, but she subtly avoided him.
He now realized that his wife was angry, and specifically at him.
Not wanting to press Qin Dahe for answers, he could only touch his nose and follow her out of the hospital.
Fortunately, Qin Dahe tactfully sat in the back after getting in the car, and Qin Yingxue didn't hesitate to sit in the passenger seat either, which made Song Yanchuan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The car slowly started moving and drove all the way out of the hospital before Song Yanchuan finally spoke: "Jiang Linlin has confessed to everything."
Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously asked, "What did you confess to?"
"She admitted that she was the one who secretly poisoned Dahe last time, putting poison in his water bottle to cause panic in the Qin family and ruin our marriage. And Qin Xiaocao has also been manipulated by her to target you..."
Song Yanchuan looked ahead, his face solemn.
Qin Yingxue listened silently without making a sound.
Her heart was in her throat. She wasn't afraid that Jiang Linlin would expose her; at worst, she could say that she was protecting herself.
But Song Yanchuan's test might not be so easy to get past.
"And what about today? Why would she suddenly attack my sister?" Qin Dahe asked angrily.
"She said she was disoriented after waking up, which is why she attacked Qin Yingxue." Song Yanchuan glanced at his overly quiet wife.
Qin Yingxue looked up in surprise, only to meet his deep eyes.
Why did Jiang Linlin lie?
Why didn't he confess that he wanted to kill her?
"You think 'not fully conscious' is enough for a visit?" Qin Dahe sneered. "Song Yanchuan, you're not going to let Jiang Linlin off so easily, are you? Yingxue was even hospitalized because of her. If you don't pursue this, I've misjudged you..."
"Third Brother..." Qin Yingxue turned to look at the angry Qin Dahe and said soothingly, "Leave the rest to the police station. I believe they will definitely give us a reasonable explanation."
When Qin Dahe heard Qin Yingxue say that, he muttered irritably, "You still want to include my share? I don't think you can trust anyone. You have to be strong yourself."
"Third Brother, what did you say?" Qin Yingxue heard Qin Dahe's muffled voice, but she couldn't make out what he said.
"It's nothing," Qin Dahe said with a smile.
Qin Yingxue looked at him with suspicion, and was about to say something when she saw the car enter the village and quickly stop in the courtyard outside the Song family's house.
Zhu Huiwen and the Qin family members rushed out upon hearing the commotion. Seeing Qin Yingxue get out of the car, they asked with concern, "Yingxue, how are you?"
"I'm fine now." Qin Yingxue smiled, letting them look her up and down, and even moving her hands and feet in cooperation.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Qin Yingxue was really alright.
After giving them a thorough explanation, everyone left.
Qin Dahe was arrested by Qin Dajiang, and there are a lot of things to do at home.
Zhu Huiwen went to prepare lunch. Qin Yingxue wanted to help, but Zhu Huiwen forced her to go to Song Yanchuan and told him to take her back to her room to rest and call her when the food was ready.
There was a moment of silence between the young couple in their new home, and the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
“There were some things I didn’t finish saying when your third brother was here.” Song Yanchuan broke the silence, his brows furrowed, his tone filled with confusion and bewilderment. “Jiang Linlin was very cooperative at first, answering all our questions immediately. But when we asked her why she attacked you, her expression became strange, and then her tone completely changed. She used the excuse that she was not in a good mood to brush us off. Even though she knew we didn’t believe her, she didn’t explain further. It was as if she suddenly went from being positive to being negative, giving us an attitude of whether we believed her or not.”
"Is it just your feeling, or..." Qin Yingxue asked thoughtfully.
“Guohua was there too. In our post-event analysis, we both felt the same way.” Song Yanchuan sighed as he said this, “It was as if she suddenly had someone backing her up, and she was no longer afraid of us.”
Logically speaking, with the system at her disposal, Jiang Linlin wouldn't care about a mere police station.
But Song Yanchuan said that she was very cooperative at first, but then became passive...
Active cooperation stems from fear, while passivity arises from a sense of confidence. Does this mean Jiang Linlin's system doesn't allow her to do whatever she wants?
Or is there some kind of limitation?
