He Teng didn’t even dare to think about such an outcome!
Despite his fury at He Zhilan, even if they were in the process of getting divorced, she was still his sister, his family member!
Because he was worried that authorities would worship Gu En because of the Gu and Lan families, Chen Yun personally escorted Gu En back. By the time He Teng returned to the hospital, Xing Ye and Bian Xiulin were already there. Lin Chan arrived at the hospital a few minutes before him. Yet, He Zhilan wasn’t yet awake.
"This Gu En, who killed cats as a child, has indeed grown into a murderer! Both the Gu and Lan families have pampered a murderer. Let’s see how Lan Li can be arrogant in front of me in the future!" Lin Chan had been cursing at Gu En all the way. Every time he saw He Zhilan lying there, barely holding onto her life, and thought about the hours of gastric lavage surgery she had to endure, he felt deeply pained for her. Such a good girl had the misfortune to have a roommate like Gu En.
Everyone sighed, truly not expecting that Gu En would have the guts to commit murder in the dormitory.
"Captain He, even if the Gu family tries to acquit Gu En, we won’t give her a chance. Although we might not be able to demand for her death penalty, it’s certain that she will be sentenced to jail for a few years. At her age and with her status, her life would be ruined once she gets out of jail." Bian Xiulin said, attempting to comfort the motionless He Teng standing by He Zhilan’s hospital bed.
Lin Chan glanced at He Teng, and remembering what Chen Xiting had said about He Teng and He Zhilan’s divorce, asked, "He Mutou, what’s going on between you and He Zhilan? Why are you suddenly getting a divorce? Weren’t you two getting along well during the New Year? If it wasn’t for the hospital’s discovery, people might have misconstrued that Zhilan attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills."
"What? Divorce?" Bian Xiulin was shocked. "Captain He, are you divorcing Zhilan? Are you kidding me? How could that be possible?"
Firstly, Bian Xiulin had some understanding of He Teng’s character, so she felt that such impulsive matters would not have been committed by him. Secondly, she had not noticed any issues in the couple’s relationship.
Since He Zhilan and He Teng got together, they had never even had a fight. Why would they suddenly want to get a divorce?
He Teng did not answer Bian Xiulin’s questions, nor did he defend himself. Chen Xiting wanted to help He Teng, but on second thought, this was a private matter between He Teng and He Zhilan. Although she roughly knew the outline of the situation, she did not understand the whole picture. It would be better for He Zhilan to explain it to He Teng when she woke up.
Seeing He Zhilan in such a situation and how anxious He Teng was, she figured he wouldn’t bring up the issue of divorce at this time.
Since He Zhilan wouldn’t wake up for a while and Bian Xiulin was pregnant and couldn’t stay at the hospital for long, everyone left the hospital after keeping He Teng company for a while.
Jiang Biyun and Lin Deng didn’t hear about this until the evening, and they came to the hospital together. Seeing He Zhilan lying there, Lin Deng was speechless for a long time. He looked at the sleeping figure on the bed, his heart filled with discomfort.
It was a kind of feeling when the little girl from the neighboring family, whom you grew up with, suddenly became like a stranger, almost unrecognizable. In his heart, she was always a well-behaved and likable little sister. Yet, suddenly, she turned detestable, becoming a demon that others avoid, an almost unbelievable murderer.
