CHAPTER 1531: CHAPTER 1435: WAKE UP, PLEASE

He Qiming said, "We have already found the chef and the horse trainer, proving that the events with the spiral shells and the racetrack were all deliberately orchestrated by you. Miss Gong, you might as well stop denying it. You’ve done so much, and the traces are far too obvious. Honestly, all of us had already started suspecting you a long time ago."

Gong Xue’er asked, "When did you start suspecting me?"

He Qiming replied, "To be honest, it started right after the horseback riding accident. From Mr. Lu’s reaction, we felt something was off. Actually, back then, I had already arranged for someone to take a private plane to this island overnight to investigate. As expected, the results all pointed back to you, Miss Gong."

Gong Xue’er was quite surprised; she hadn’t expected this group of people to suspect her so early on.

Gong Xue’er said, "What do you want to do about it?"

He Qiming said, "Miss Gong, we have already reported this to the police. They will be here shortly. When the time comes, whatever you have to say, you can tell them."

Gong Xue’er could never have imagined that on her own turf, she would fall into the hands of this group of people.

However, Gong Xue’er wasn’t too concerned.

She had already changed her nationality.

For the domestic police to convict her, it would take a long time.

And during this time, it would be enough for her to make her escape.

More importantly—

Xia Yangyang had already been underwater for quite some time.

She had long sent someone to lie in wait inside the swimming pool, ensuring that Xia Yangyang would drown.

By now, Xia Yangyang was probably already dead.

Even if she was exposed, so what?

Even if her reputation was completely ruined, what did it matter?

At worst, she could change her identity and find a new place to live from now on.

She had power, influence, and money; what was there to fear?

As long as Xia Yangyang was dead, that was all that mattered. There would be no one left to block her path.

At that moment, everyone noticed the commotion downstairs.

They saw Gu Qichen pulling someone out of the swimming pool.

And Lu Haotian had already rushed over.

Everyone made their way over as well.

By the time they reached the poolside, Gu Qichen was attempting to resuscitate Xia Yangyang.

Gu Qichen performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, pressing hard on Xia Yangyang’s chest.

But Xia Yangyang showed no signs of any reaction.

In the end, they were still a step too late.

In the pool, however, another figure floated to the surface.

It was the man who had just been holding Xia Yangyang’s legs, trying to drown her.

After Gu Qichen had jumped in, he had kicked the man away.

The man had choked on some water while in the pool.

When everyone came down, they more or less guessed that Xia Yangyang’s drowning was definitely arranged by Gong Xue’er.

He Qiming pointed at the man in the water and said, "We can’t let him just die like this. We need to keep him as evidence."

Initially, they wanted someone else to help fish him out of the water.

But Li Wenwen, without a word, dove straight in and rescued the man.

The man was quickly revived, coughing out a mouthful of water as he continued to sputter.

Yet on Xia Yangyang’s side, her heart had already stopped beating for over four minutes.

If this continued any longer, not even a miracle could save her.

"Wake up, I’m begging you, Yangyang, please wake up."

No one had ever seen Gu Qichen with red-rimmed eyes like this.

His voice was firm yet desperate, imbued with a sorrowful plea and a heartrending cry.

Looking at Gu Qichen in this state, everyone thought that if Mrs. Gu truly died, Mr. Gu probably wouldn’t survive either.

Everyone gathered around.

They were silently cheering for Xia Yangyang in their hearts.

Especially Lu Haotian, whose eyes were also bloodshot.

He held one of Xia Yangyang’s hands, as if grasping the most precious treasure in the world.
