In the end, Bai Yuejie was his true love.
The heart function test report, he read it so meticulously.
Shi Mei sneered secretly, full of irony.
Her eyes followed the page, Bai Yuejie’s information laid bare, with many data points clearly written upon it.
Shi Mei didn’t quite understand, but she grasped the doctor’s words that followed: urgent heart transplant required, otherwise a lifespan of no more than three months remaining.
She glanced at the date; it was three years ago, one month before her death.
Shi Mei looked at the report, feeling a chill in her heart.
So, he had carefully planned that "accident," which in reality was his final resolution towards her.
That gunshot, severed all her feelings for him.
Ye Tiao sat with her legs crossed, looking impatiently at the man who had taken over her computer, saying, "Can you hurry up?"
Shi Lingyan ignored her, his dark eyebrows furrowed, staring at the SMS records on the computer screen, his frown deepening the more he looked.
The message record was clearly written: The civil affairs bureau is waiting for you.
On the panel was also a name, distinctly noted: Ah Ling.
Tang Wu replied: Do you think I’ll come just because you tell me to?
Even through the distance of time, Shi Lingyan could imagine the expression on Tang Wu’s face as she sent that message. free.w e bn.ov(e)l(.)com
But he was absolutely certain that he had never sent such a message.
At that time, he was risking his life in the subtropical rainforests of South America for military honors to formally ask for her hand from her father.
There was no cell signal in that place, so everyone’s phones were kept together, not on their persons.
Then, when was this message sent?
Shi Lingyan glanced at the date.
Just right, it was Tang Wu’s birthday.
It was also the anniversary of her death.
Above it, the message from the day before read.
[Ah Ling]: Missing you
[Tang Wu]: Rolled eyes
[Ah Ling]: The civil affairs bureau is waiting for you
[Tang Wu]: Do you think I’ll come just because you tell me to?
Sentence by sentence, Shi Lingyan had no recollection at all.
"Ye Tiao," Shi Lingyan’s voice was slightly hoarse, "did you contact Tang Wu on her birthday?"
"The day of the incident."
"Yes, I told her that I had prepared a cake for her and that many friends would come to the party."
"She said okay," Ye Tiao thought carefully, then added, "Seems like she also said she had a surprise for me."
But that surprise never came; instead, it turned into a shock.
Shi Lingyan was sure that the surprise Tang Wu mentioned was probably the news of their marriage registration.
Shi Lingyan remembered the heart exam report of Bai Yuejie that he had found these past few days.
Three years ago, Bai Yuejie’s heart was facing failure, her life not expected to last more than three months. Just at that time, an incident with Tang Wu occurred, and quite naturally, her heart was transplanted into Bai Yuejie, allowing her life to be extended.
After Tang Wu was placed on the ambulance, the vehicle exploded on the spot, and everything, including the dashcam, her ID, her phone, and all personal belongings were destroyed.
Not a single clue was left behind.
Everyone treated the car accident as a tragic mishap, but now it seemed that there might be more to the story.
Everywhere there were points of suspicion, and the biggest beneficiary turned out to be the always innocent and kind Bai Yuejie.
All of this was just too coincidental.
