Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Questioning
Su Lan still didn’t believe Tang Chuxia’s words, but at that moment, she had no better option and could only stare at Tang Chuxia for a long time before finally saying, “You’d better be telling the truth, or I won’t mind making you suffer a bit!”
Su Lan left.
Tang Chuxia let out a breath.
To tell the truth, she wasn’t afraid of Su Lan, but rather afraid that Su Lan would go crazy.
She didn’t want to get hurt.
As for the mud on the ground, Tang Chuxia kicked it disdainfully a couple of times.
Hu Mingcheng groaned twice and finally woke up, but he was completely immobile, lying prone on the ground, looking extremely disheveled.
“Tang Chuxia, are you insane? You actually captured me!”
Tang Chuxia said disdainfully, “Take a good look, what benefit do I get from capturing you here?”
Hu Mingcheng finally realized and remembered the events he had been through that day.
He looked at Tang Chuxia, who was leaning against the side, “Come over and help me up!”
Tang Chuxia didn’t move.
Hu Mingcheng lost his temper, only to be met with a scoff, “What’s the matter? Haven’t come to terms with reality yet?”
Hu Mingcheng looked at Tang Chuxia in horror, thinking she was in league with Su Lan, wanting to kill him.
“Do you think you’re the only one who’s been drugged?”
Tang Chuxia really didn’t want to meet the eyes of Hu Mingcheng, this fool; it truly felt like an insult to her intelligence.
“Speaking of which, weren’t you captured? How did Su Lan find you?” Tang Chuxia was truly curious; she had only heard from Gu Nanzhi that Hu Mingcheng had been captured, but she didn’t know the follow-up.
Hu Mingcheng, unable to move, with his chin stuck on the ground, found it hard to talk, and every forceful breath inhaled a nose full of dust.
He didn’t want to answer.
But seeing Tang Chuxia’s expression and thinking they might need to cooperate afterward, he gritted his teeth and said, “You still have the nerve to ask? Isn’t it all your fault that I’m like this?”
Tang Chuxia snorted, “It’s my fault that you fell in love with Tang Wanqiu while engaged to me? Did I make you impersonate someone else and attend college? Hu Mingcheng, don’t be so shameless!”
Hu Mingcheng was silent.
That comment wasn’t wrong.
It was indeed his fault.
And he had already received his comeuppance.
“I’ve already been ruined by you, what else do you want to know?”
Hu Mingcheng’s voice was filled with defeat; he knew that now, his relationship with Tang Chuxia was no longer on a dimension where they could have a conversation.
Tang Chuxia smiled and said, “I’d like to hear your recent story, the more tragic the better!”
Hu Mingcheng cursed, “With the state we’re in now, shouldn’t we be trying to escape first?”
If it weren’t for his immobility, he’d suspect Tang Chuxia’s sanity—obsessing over gossip in this situation?
Tang Chuxia expressed some regret, “It’s a pity that I have the chance to hear your gossip, but I can’t get what I want.”
However, Tang Chuxia said, “I have no plans to escape; we have to figure out Su Lan’s motives, right?”
She looked at Hu Mingcheng, “Aren’t you curious?”
Hu Mingcheng… He wasn’t curious at all; he even wanted to flee.
But he couldn’t say that; he was afraid it would infuriate him to death.
It was clear Tang Chuxia was interested; she said, “Actually, I’ve been curious about something, can you answer me?”
Hu Mingcheng wanted to swear at her, but seeing the way Tang Chuxia was, he could only sigh, “Ask away!”
Tang Chuxia chuckled twice, her body twisted like overcooked noodles, yet she managed to produce such an eerie laugh—it really made one doubt her humanity.
“Did Tang Wanqiu really die?”
Hu Mingcheng gasped.
If he could move, he would definitely scrutinize Tang Chuxia’s face closely, to see what her expression was like when she asked this question.
“What do you mean?” But Hu Mingcheng quickly caught on.
Tang Chuxia had wanted to shrug her shoulders, but doing so would prove she wasn’t actually drugged, so she restrained herself, “It’s just natural suspicion. With Tang Wanqiu’s ability to bounce back, it’s impossible that she’d suddenly die. It doesn’t make sense!”
Hu Mingcheng: …
What sort of train of thought is this?
He found Tang Chuxia somewhat incomprehensible.
Everyone knew Tang Wanqiu was fake and already dead. He had tormented himself to his current state for a fraud, and these past days, he wished he could throttle the besotted fool he used to be.
But today, Tang Chuxia asked him, is Tang Wanqiu really dead?
Suddenly, he realized something. After the news of Tang Wanqiu’s death spread, there seemed to be no follow-up.
So, was Tang Wanqiu truly dead?
“That’s wrong, why are you asking me this? I’ve been in detention the whole time!”
Hu Mingcheng knew how tough his days had been, glaring straight at Tang Chuxia.
Tang Chuxia uttered an “Oh”: “Looks like you really don’t know anything.”
Hu Mingcheng: …
He really didn’t know anything and was still the victim.
Tang Chuxia thought of Yang Yingjie, whom she had let go first. She should have asked him sooner.
Had the body been identified? Had an autopsy been done?
Only if these steps had been completed, could Tang Wanqiu’s death be truly confirmed.
But now, she couldn’t confirm anything.
“What are you trying to say? Are you suggesting Tang Wanqiu isn’t dead, and she orchestrated this whole thing?” Hu Mingcheng’s brain finally started to churn.
Tang Chuxia shook her head: “Not sure, I haven’t seen her body. But you do know about the real and fake Tang Wanqiu matter, right?”
Mentioning this made Hu Mingcheng even more annoyed.
He gritted his teeth: “I know!”
Tang Chuxia mused: “You’re saying you don’t even know if the woman you loved was real, and you probably don’t even know what the Tang Wanqiu impostor looked like, right?”
To have been in love with a fake all this time.
Really pitiful.
Hu Mingcheng felt like cursing.
“Cut the crap and think of a way to get out!”
Tang Chuxia admitted: “We can’t get out for now!”
It was not that she didn’t want to leave, but she heard a noise—Su Lan was back.
She informed Hu Mingcheng: “Your pants have come unstitched!”
Hu Mingcheng’s face turned beet red, knowing Tang Chuxia was a bastard.
At a time like this, she still reminded him of that? But could he move and cover it up?
He couldn’t!!!
And what is the outcome from her knowing?
Was it to make him die of shame?
Without giving Hu Mingcheng time to react, Su Lan walked in again. Clearly, she hadn’t found anyone in the cave in such a short time, but she was confident in the power of her drug, sure that nobody could counteract it.
So, Su Lan squatted in front of Tang Chuxia: “I’ll ask you one more time, are you certain it was Tang Wanqiu who took those three away?”
Tang Chuxia nodded: “Absolutely certain!”
Hu Mingcheng twisted his neck to look at Tang Chuxia, trying to say something impossible, but he heard Tang Chuxia reminding him, “Tuck your fly in, your embroidered boxer shorts are showing!”
Hu Mingcheng yelled: “You bastard, who let you see?”
Tang Chuxia sighed: “Sister Su, he’s the one exposing himself and still doesn’t let me say!”
Su Lan: …
