CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 186 LI QING DIED

Netizens stared at the pitch-black screen, listening to Li Qing’s screams, each more heart-wrenching than the last.

The barrage of comments that had been furiously scrolling just moments ago seemed to freeze, as if someone had hit a pause button.

Two minutes passed.

A timid comment appeared: "So, uh... should we call the police?"

"If you had heard the audio of this scummy man and shameless woman plotting to harm Sister Bing, you wouldn’t be thinking that."

The audio of Li Qing and Lian Yingya slandering Fu Bing, alleging she had an affair with Qin Sheng, had been leaked.

Fu Bing’s fans were fuming.

"She deserves whatever fate befalls her. Jealous of Fu Bing, yet too cowardly to compete honorably, she resorted to despicable tricks from the gutter. Truly disgusting!"

"I’m ashamed to have ever been a fan of Li Jing!"

"People like her should just drop dead."

"And don’t let Lian Yingya off the hook either."

"Bros, everyone call the cops and get Lian Yingya thrown in there too."

"After Lian Yingya exposed the secret club, those people will definitely not let him go!"

"..."

The netizens engaged in a heated discussion.

Jian Lingyuan watched with a smirk of triumph as police cars drove towards the club from a distance.

The boss’s schemes are truly formidable.

This club served the same purpose as Wu Shipyard: a place for the rich to seek thrills and entertainment.

It was an important site for Qin Sheng to gather intelligence.

It had always been well hidden. Only when the boss and Fu Bing returned to Jiangcheng did they uncover it.

They had initially planned to take it down slowly, but Lian Yingya exposed the club prematurely.

Qin Sheng would never let Lian Yingya off the hook.

When Qin Sheng received information that the club had been sealed off, he was still seeing the doctor.

Lately, he had been sleeping over twelve hours a day but still felt lethargic upon waking.

Qin Li came in and whispered something in Qin Sheng’s ear.

Qin Sheng roared, "That bastard! Where is Lian Yingya now?"

"He has already been taken into custody by the Lian family."

"Let him die! And Li Qing too!"

"Yes, sir."

The family doctor wished he had never come.

The more one knows about a wealthy family’s secrets, the worse the consequences.

The family doctor trembled as he met Qin Sheng’s gaze.

He hurriedly lowered his head in fear.

"If you dare leak a single word, I’ll make sure you don’t even have a whole corpse left."

The family doctor shook his head in terror. "No, I wouldn’t dare."

"Get out!"

Qin Li watched the interaction between Qin Sheng and the family doctor, then cautiously asked, "Sir, have you considered that you might have been poisoned?"

Having been with Qin Sheng for decades, he knew Qin Sheng’s reserved and inscrutable nature.

Even if deeply dissatisfied, he wouldn’t reveal his true feelings to outsiders.

"What have you found?"

"Ever since you met Fu Bing, you’ve become exhausted and sleepy within a few days of returning. I suspect she poisoned you."

Qin Sheng’s expression grew somber. "Bring a few more specialists over to examine me," he ordered.

"Yes, sir."

He and Fu Bing had kept their distance during that meeting, only shaking hands briefly at the end.

Did Fu Bing poison him in that brief moment?

Qin Sheng carefully recalled everything he had felt at that time.

Nothing was amiss!

Qin Sheng still didn’t believe Fu Bing could have poisoned him right under his nose.

She wasn’t that capable. If it were possible to poison him face-to-face, Qin Jinhai would have had countless opportunities over the years. Qin Sheng didn’t underestimate Fu Bing, but he still didn’t think she possessed such an ability.

After the area was cleared, Li Qing was taken to the hospital.

Within just one hour, there wasn’t a single piece of unmarred skin left on her body.

Bite marks, burns, and knife wounds covered her.

Her entire face was mutilated beyond recognition.

After receiving emergency treatment, she was admitted directly to the ICU.

Han Hu crept silently to the exterior of Li Qing’s hospital room. Peering inside through the glass, she hacked into the system and cut the power to that ICU room.

Li Qing, unconscious, began to shake violently, writhing in agony.

Medical staff discovered the outage and quickly restored power, but they were still unable to save Li Qing’s life.

With a white sheet draped over her, Li Qing was wheeled into the restroom.

Han Hu watched from a distance, hidden in the crowd.

In her heart, the thrill of revenge had long since faded. She didn’t want Fu Bing’s hands to be stained with this filth. If she didn’t deal with Li Qing, Li Qing would inevitably have targeted Fu Bing again sooner or later. With this, aside from Su He, she had dealt with everyone who had harmed her.

「Su Family.」

Su He had someone handle Li Hua’s funeral affairs. He has not taken a step outside the Su family’s villa since.

Fu Bing had interacted with members of the Su family, and he could see Fu Bing’s resemblance to the Su family matriarch. The others must know this as well.

Why weren’t they speaking up?

Su He couldn’t fathom their thoughts.

Since her release from prison over a year ago, Fu Bing had executed every step flawlessly.

But the first step had been provided by the Su family.

Had the Su family been paving the way for Fu Bing since then? If they knew Fu Bing was the lost daughter of the Su family, why did they let her suffer three years in prison?

Su He was utterly perplexed.

Su Jiang was not that kind of person. He loved children as if his life depended on them. He doted on Su Kexin, showering her with affection, even though she was not his child. If he had known Fu Bing might be his daughter, he couldn’t have just stood by and done nothing. Where exactly had things gone wrong?

"Look into Fu Bing and Fu Ya," Su He ordered.

"Yes."

When news of Li Qing’s death reached Su He, he had someone claim her body and arrange for the ashes of Li Hua and Li Qing to be buried together.

The Li family had lost two daughters in a short span of time, yet they reacted as if nothing significant had happened.

In the eyes of the Li family, daughters were merely objects to be exchanged for money and resources.

Once they lost their value, they were to be discarded.

Upon hearing of Li Qing’s death, Li Kuan felt not a trace of sadness.

After returning home, he relayed the news to his father and mother.

His mother, Xu Jiayuan, far from being saddened, asked, "Li Qing was abused and then died in the hospital due to a power outage. Can’t we sue both groups of people and make them compensate us?"

Li Xumin’s eyes lit up. "I’ll contact the media and lawyers immediately! This is a major medical malpractice case. If not for their mistake, our Little Qing definitely wouldn’t have died."

Even in death, she had to earn one last sum of money for the Li family.

They had raised the two sisters with such hardship, and now that both had died, they hadn’t left them a penny.

If they didn’t bleed them dry this time, there would be no other chance.

Hearing this, Li Kuan had a new idea.

"We could also associate our Li family with the Qin family, pressuring Qin Sheng to settle with us privately. Otherwise, we’ll expose Li Qing’s relationship with the Qin family and seize the opportunity to slander Qin Jinhai. This way, Aunt won’t sit idly by."

Li Xumin nodded repeatedly. "You’re indeed my son, so clever!"

Xu Jiayuan added, "This is the last time we can extort money. We must demand more!"

Li Xumin and Li Kuan nodded in deep agreement.

Li Xumin decided to call Li Yuan personally to gauge her reaction.

He made the call, but a message indicated the number was disconnected.

Still, Li Xumin didn’t give up and kept calling.

It was still a disconnected number.

Li Xumin then turned to call Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng’s phone went unanswered.

Still not giving up, Li Xumin called Qin Jinmo.

Qin Jinmo picked up.

"Who is this?"

"Jinmo, it’s your uncle. Your cousin is gone. You have to seek justice for her..."
