Chapter 541: Chapter 534: Not an Accident (Part 3)

"It’s you! You’re the one who killed Shishi! You bring bad luck! Bad luck!"

Xia Lian appeared deranged, circling Cheng Shishi’s corpse like a maddened lioness, ready to devour Bai Yiran.

"Aunt!" Leng Yichen spoke coldly. He could understand Xia Lian’s pain from losing her daughter, but he couldn’t allow her to harm Bai Yiran.

Leng Yichen’s strong arms tightly controlled Xia Lian’s arm, preventing her from getting close to Bai Yiran.

Bai Yiran stood behind Leng Yichen, "Aunt, what are you saying..."

Xia Lian screamed like a madwoman, "You’re the one who killed Shishi! It was you!"

"How could I harm Shishi? I’m her sister, how could I harm her!"

"Let go of me, Leng! This is a Cheng Family matter, stay out of it!" Xia Lian’s voice was like a crazed banshee.

"Bai Yiran, get out." Leng Yichen controlled Xia Lian’s body and instructed Bai Yiran to leave.

But Bai Yiran still stood there, wracked with sorrow over Shishi’s death. Why would her aunt say such things?

"Bai Yiran! The police said it was you Shishi called last! When she had the accident, she was on the phone with you! She was on the phone with you, do you know that?! She died in a car accident while heading to your house, calling you!"

Bai Yiran’s body started to tremble.

Xia Lian was right; Bai Yiran’s ears had confirmed Cheng Shishi’s fatal car crash.

"If she hadn’t gone to find you, hadn’t called you, she wouldn’t have died!" Xia Lian desperately tried to break free from Leng Yichen’s grip, "I noticed something was off between you two at the restaurant at lunchtime! Soon after we left, Shishi said she was going to a classmate’s house to get a book. But the truth is she never went there! She went to find you, Bai Yiran! To find you!"

Xia Lian’s words pierced Bai Yiran’s heart; she silently cried, her mouth open but unable to speak. Her face turned paler and paler, her lips twitching, her heart almost stopping.

At this moment, Bai Yiran’s throat felt as if a needle was lodged inside, an aching bitterness overwhelming her, leaving her speechless, with only her tears to express her emotions.

"Wang Hai! Take Bai Yiran outside!" Leng Yichen shouted to Wang Hai, who had been standing outside the door, understanding that if no one took Bai Yiran out, she’d continue to hear Xia Lian’s accusations.

Wang Hai entered, attempting to forcibly remove Bai Yiran, "Madam, let’s go out..."

"I won’t... I’m the one who killed Shishi..." Xia Lian’s words seemed to have wormed their way into Bai Yiran’s heart, as she stubbornly remained, staring at Cheng Shishi’s tragic corpse.

"Let’s go! Madam!" Wang Hai began to apply force, trying to lead Bai Yiran out.

Seeing this, Xia Lian screamed and cried, "Cheng Gang! Look! This is the niece you’ve cherished for so long! She killed your daughter today! Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?"

Cheng Shishi’s death was too much for Cheng Gang, leaving him in a state of collapse, his gaze vacant as he looked at Cheng Shishi, tears soaking his clothes.

Hearing Xia Lian’s words, Cheng Gang’s empty eyes turned to Bai Yiran, "Yiran, just leave..."

"Uncle..."

"Go! Leave! All of you, leave!" At this moment, Cheng Gang could hold on no longer, suddenly collapsing to the ground.
