CHAPTER 470: CHAPTER 290: THE FINAL BLOW

The funeral.

On the day of Gu Bohan’s funeral, Song Xiaoyin cried so much that her eyes were red and swollen, and Song Yunyin also came over to see him one last time.

Many people came today, Zhuang Shengxian brought his wife Ning Shuhui, Fang Zimo brought Tang Yanran, and Duan Feixun and Zheng Tong were also here, Yang Junyi and Tian Xin all came to send Gu Bohan on his last journey.

Only Gu Yucheng did not come.

Some shareholders and senior executives of the Gu Group were there, many of whom blamed Gu Qingchen, whose position in the Gu Group was taken by Gu Yucheng.

Gu Qingchen remained silent, truthfully, he didn’t care about these things!

He always thought that this was a war between Gu Bohan and Gu Yucheng, and he should not get involved.

Today, another person came, that was Shen Qingya.

She was representing Deputy Mayor Shen, and after bowing, she quietly stood to the side.

Bei Ran, with keen eyes, noticed that while Shen Qingya was bowing, there was a men’s ring at her collar, which was probably meant for Gu Qingchen!

Although these matters were in the past, the entanglement between men and women, is like an unbreakable thread, that even in the darkness, pulls them together.

Shen Qingya did not communicate with anyone, she was just quietly, solemnly representing the Shen Family to send off Gu Bohan.

Zhuo Yufeng secretly arranged a lot of police force, according to what he and Gu Qingchen agreed, now was the time for Gu Bohan to be laid to rest, it would be too strange if Qin Shan and Long Fei did not act!

Along the way, from the funeral home to the graveyard, there was an undercover police officer in each car.

The journey was very smooth.

Those who were part of this plan knew that the closer it got to the end, the more tense it became.

The more it appeared calm, the more turbulent it was beneath the surface.

Zhuo Yufeng’s car was last, Gu Qingchen’s car was in front, both were attentively observing everything around them.

Bei Ran was with Song Xiaoyin, who was extremely sorrowful, regardless of love or hate, entangled for a lifetime, at the end, it was always filled with sadness.

Bei Ran really wanted to tell her the truth, but worried about falling short at the last step.

After crossing the next traffic light, they would reach the hillside graveyard.

At this moment, Sister Zhang ran to Song Xiaoyin’s side, bringing a bouquet of flowers: "Miss Song, this is the bouquet that Master gave to you when you first met..."

Song Xiaoyin took the sunflowers, expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Sister Zhang, you still remember after all these years..."

"Master has finally passed away!" Sister Zhang said sadly, "Miss Song, take care! Today, as you see Master off on his last journey, please give him this bouquet of flowers!"

Song Xiaoyin nodded, "Sister Zhang, the light will be green soon, come sit in this car!"

Song Xiaoyin was a good master, she was never harsh or dismissive towards the servants.

The servants of the Gu Family all liked her very much.

"How could I possibly?" Sister Zhang hesitated...

"Come on up!" Song Xiaoyin pulled her in, "Ranran is a generous and proper girl, she won’t mind these things..."

"Yes!" Bei Ran looked at her, "Sister Zhang, it’s rare that you still remember the flowers Uncle and Auntie had when they first met, your memory is really good..."

Bei Ran’s gaze fixed on her, ordinarily, for a typical housewife to remember something from over thirty years ago is really hard, obviously, Bei Ran suddenly realized she had greatly underestimated Sister Zhang.

Sister Zhang shyly expressed, "Miss Bei, I have always regarded Miss Song as the lady of the Gu Family..."

Bei Ran took out her phone, she slid open the screen and typed a line: Check on this person, Sister Zhang...

But before her message could reach Zhuo Yufeng, Sister Zhang had already grabbed the phone from her hand.

Bei Ran was slightly startled and looked up at her.

While Song Xiaoyin had already fainted to the side, Bei Ran anxiously asked, "Qin Shan, what have you done to Auntie?"

"Don’t worry, she won’t die!" Sister Zhang had already changed her tone of speaking, "If I wanted her dead, she would have been long gone! But Miss Bei, you really are a smart one, but until now, only you know that I am Qin Shan, right?"

Bei Ran did not expect her guess to be confirmed, this seemingly insignificant Sister Zhang was indeed Qin Shan!

In the Gu family’s villa, there really was a ruthless killer hiding!

But this demon was living under the guise of a servant, with children of her own, something unimaginable for anyone!

Bei Ran stared at him: "Qingchen is smarter than I am. What I can think of, he can as well..."

Ms. Zhang suddenly found her hand going numb, unable to hold her phone anymore, "What did you do to me?"

Bei Ran calmly said: "Don’t worry, you won’t die! For someone like you, dying so easily would be an insult to those wronged souls. It’s just that we anticipated your arrival and that you’d definitely target me. Therefore, we have placed a drug in the vehicle. We took the antidote beforehand, and you, having inhaled it, are now paralyzed due to your nervous system numbing."

As Bei Ran reached this point, Song Xiaoyin had also awakened. She glanced at Ms. Zhang, "I can’t believe it, Ms. Zhang. After so many years of treating you as a confided friend, you ended up killing Bo Han. How could you be so cruel? It’s not just me—Bo Han never mistreated you either..."

"But you forgot, I am not Ms. Zhang, I am Qin Shan!" Ms. Zhang burst into mad laughter, "However, Miss Song, your daughter-in-law is truly excellent! Courageous and smart..."

Seated in the front, Gu Qingchen turned his head back, "We had suspected early on that the poisoner had to be someone close, and it wouldn’t be Long Fei himself. You, Ms. Zhang, being the cook, were naturally under suspicion. However, you had given birth to several children, leading us to dismiss the possibility of you being Qin Shan. People who change their names can’t reproduce..."

Ms. Zhang no longer hid it from him: "Old Zhang didn’t know. I used his sperm to let other women conceive, and every time I was due, I didn’t give birth in City A..."

"In this way, no one doubted my identity," Ms. Zhang arrogantly claimed, "Gu Qingchen, it’s all the fault of old man Song. He treated you well in everything, you had the Gu Family, so why persist with the Song Family? Therefore, I needed to overthrow Gu Bohan, and of course, it was also why I collaborated with Long Fei..."

Gu Qingchen looked at her, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!"

By now, Gu Bohan was already standing at the very front of the funeral procession. The most surprised was Song Xiaoyin, who quickly realized, this was all an act staged by Gu Qingchen!

"You rascal..." Song Xiaoyin went to smack Gu Qingchen’s head, "How could you do this, even deceiving your mother?"

Despite saying this, she was still happy inside.

Ms. Zhang had not anticipated this, that they had caught her like a turtle in a jar, and even Gu Bohan was faking his death!

"No... it’s impossible..." Ms. Zhang said, "Long Fei said his poison has no antidote, I don’t believe... don’t believe that Gu Bohan is not dead..."

Yet, the facts speak louder than words!

At that moment, Ms. Zhang opened her coat, "See what I have, I’m going to perish together with you..."

Upon seeing it, the three in the car discovered it was a time bomb, with less than half a minute left...

Once Song Xiaoyin saw the bomb, she immediately panicked, "Bei Ran, Qingchen, get out of here!"

She couldn’t bear to see her two children get hurt, this was Song Xiaoyin’s immediate thought.

Bei Ran grabbed Song Xiaoyin’s hand, "Auntie, at no time would Qingchen and I ever abandon you."

She had already started pulling Song Xiaoyin away, but Ms. Zhang, whose body was increasingly stiffened by the drug in the car, had managed to hook one of Song Xiaoyin’s feet with her own. This made it impossible for Song Xiaoyin to pull her leg free immediately.

As the time on the digital timer of the bomb ticked away by the second, Bei Ran used all her strength but still couldn’t free Song Xiaoyin.

"Ranran, good child, go..." Song Xiaoyin pushed Bei Ran, "You can’t stay any longer, otherwise, we all will..."

"Auntie, let’s go together!" Bei Ran knew how dearly Song Xiaoyin had treated her like a mother, how could she possibly abandon her in such a dangerous moment!

Gu Qingchen had already gotten off the car, he pulled the door open, Song Xiaoyin looked at him, "Son, take Ranran away quickly..."

Gu Qingchen, unaware of when, had a bright scalpel in his hand. With a "swish", he slashed Ms. Zhang’s leg and dragged both women out together.

Bei Ran had never seen a scalpel so sharp before, but she understood, what Gu Qingchen did was right, as nothing was more important than their mother’s safety.

"Let’s go!" Gu Qingchen pulled one woman in each hand, running towards the pedestrian path.

The people in other vehicles also backed away.

Just then, with a loud "bang", flames shot into the sky as the car exploded!

Gu Qingchen held the two most important women in his life in his embrace, ensuring they were unhurt before he could feel relieved.

There’s an old saying, when a mother and a wife both fall into the water, as a man, whom should he save first!

Yet in his life, he would never face this problem, as his mother and wife were closer than mother and daughter!

Song Xiaoyin, noticing the half of Ms. Zhang’s leg still bleeding on her own leg, quickly said, "Son, remove it!"

Yang Junyi stepped forward to take away Ms. Zhang’s severed leg, while Tian Xin also approached, glad they were unharmed, exclaimed, "So Ms. Zhang was Qin Shan, hidden so deeply! But fortunately, she’s finally dead!"

"This scoundrel, I will get the coroner to search the car later, even if she’s blown to ashes, I need to check if she’s truly dead," Yang Junyi declared.

Tian Xin looked at him, then he embraced her, as with Ms. Zhang’s death, the matter came to an end, and Yang Junyi and Tian Xin also left.

After getting into the car, Tian Xin let out a sigh of relief, Yang Junyi, stroking her forehead, said softly, "It’s all over, don’t think about it anymore..."

Tian Xin nodded, then looked at him and smiled!

It was a long time since he had seen her smile like that, and Yang Junyi smiled too!
