That viscous stuff that she thought was similar to a mixture of flesh and blood was exactly that…
The box that she thought contained her make-up had a live snake inside it!
Even though the snake had been killed by Su Zhinian on the spot, its head was incidentally preserved, and Song Qingchun could see the long tongue falling out of its mouth. Song Qingchun had never been a fan of slimy creatures that crawled on the floor like snakes, so she didn’t know much about them. However, with her limited knowledge, she knew this was a cobra, a poisonous creature. Instantly, Song Qingchun’s back was covered with cold sweat.
If Su Zhinian didn’t stop her earlier from opening the box, there would only have been one of two results. She would have been bitten and died from poisoning, or she would have realized what was happening and collapsed to the floor in her attempt to escape. She was still in her first trimester, the most unstable time of a pregnancy, so no matter the result, it wouldn’t have been pretty.
Song Qingchun’s breathing became uneven from fear. She didn’t have the courage to turn around to witness the travesty. With her back facing Su Zhinian, after a few deep breaths, she finally found her voice to ask, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine…” Following the man’s calm answer, Song Qingchun could sense him walking towards her. She leaned easily into his arms and hugged him tightly to prevent herself from falling to the ground. Su Zhinian used his hand to pat her lightly on her back as he led her into the house.
After he helped her sit down, Su Zhinian poured her a glass of water and asked whether she needed medical attention.
The blanched Song Qingchun, who was still in shock, shook her head. She took a sip of the warm water before she slowly calmed down. She turned towards Su Zhinian, and the first words out of her mouth were “Fang Rou.”
“It’s Fang Rou!” Before Su Zhinian said anything, Song Qingchun repeated herself with affirmation. “It has to be Fang Rou! When I made this order a few days ago, she was standing beside me; she even asked me to get her a bottle of face cream.
“The woman sure is crazy. Even after she’s exposed, she refuses to give up. She’s obviously trying to kill me and my child. If you didn’t stop me just now, I… I…”
Song Qingchun became more agitated as she continued. “…After killing Song Cheng, she still wants to harm me and my child! I will never forgive her, never…”
“Okay, Tingting, the important point is that you’re safe…” Su Zhinian pulled Song Qingchun into his embrace to comfort her.
When he heard the slithering sound earlier, he had already guessed it was Fang Rou. As long as that woman wasn’t captured, Song Qingchun wouldn’t be completely safe. However, that woman was as slippery as that snake, even though she had done so many horrible things, she had left no evidence to pin the crimes to her.
Therefore, they would need to prepare a lot more if they want her to face the law… but one thing was sure, they had to take action soon!
Just as the thought settled in his mind, Song Qingchun suddenly raised her head in his arms to ask, “Su Zhinian, say, do you think the accident that we got into earlier was related to her as well?”
