Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510: Chapter 537 Wu Qiong’s Regret

Wu Qiong adamantly denied that she had tampered with the bottle of wine, saying that Song Tao had asked her to take it from her father’s wine cabinet, and she hadn’t paid much attention at the time, so she gave it to him.

Then today, it suddenly came out, and during the toasting, he changed his story and said it was presented by her.

"At the time, I found it strange but thought maybe he wanted to make a good impression on my father, so I went along with it." Wu Qiong recalled angrily. What a bastard! You had me steal wine from home for you, and then you drugged it? From the start, you wanted me to take the blame, didn’t you? Isn’t that too despicable!

Of course, Song Tao wouldn’t admit it and hoped Fang Guanghui would help. It’s all arranged by Fang Guanghui. He was tricked too; how could he know it was truly poisonous?

But Fang Guanghui found a lawyer to defend him, subtly hinting: If you’re smart, don’t be stupid. If you dare to implicate me, the future won’t be good. The things you’ve done before are enough to convict you eight hundred times. Not to mention, you cheated Yang Yun out of her money; after offending people, what good outcome can you expect?

"May the companion die but spare the monk," he said, "Of course, I’ll find a good lawyer to acquit you. If you drag me into this, not only will there be no evidence, but you’ll also lose someone to handle your case. Think it over carefully."

Fang Guanghui lost an ear, and his hatred for the Yang Family was undeniable. Now he’s thinking about revenge, but the premise is not to get caught.

Back when Yang Yun went to Shenzhen for skin grafts, it was Fang Guanghui who cheated her. He and his accomplices scammed her out of her money, and Fang Guanghui knew about it but didn’t stop them, and took advantage of the situation even more.

Though he deeply resented Fang Guanghui, he realized there was no way to implicate him. First, there was no evidence, plus he had a death on his hands in Shenzhen. If it all came out, it would be a dead end.

He could only plead guilty himself, but he claimed it wasn’t murder, but manslaughter.

"I thought it was just ordinary wine that would make someone vomit. I wanted to cause a scene to show how much I cared for Wu Qiong, but who knew... I was wrong!" He displayed an expression of deep remorse, even shedding tears.

He claimed that during his travels abroad, he bought some drugs from a street vendor, who said they would only cause nausea and headaches, not truly intending to kill, just to play a prank.

He lamented that his partner’s father didn’t recognize him, but seeing their reactions now, he knew the drugs were wrong. That’s why he wouldn’t admit it.

"I really love my partner! I truly didn’t want to kill her father; I regret it so much, please forgive me!" He almost burst into tears.

When Wu Qiong found out, she angrily shouted in the hospital: "He’s lying, he’s trying to kill people without paying, despicable scoundrel, you must teach him a lesson, let him die!"

"Alright, calm down," Wu Dafu held Wu Qiong, trying to soothe her.

"Dad, why did I fall for that conman bastard? I really made a mistake!"

Wu Dafu patted her back: "Alright, what you need to do now is to recover well. Dad promises you, no one will bully you anymore. Trust me."

"People say they’re from the same place, can’t neglect him. This person is very cunning," Sun Chan said.

Such an excuse, though obviously false, couldn’t be helped. People need evidence to handle cases.

Wu Qiong angrily clenched her fists; if Song Tao and Fang Guanghui were in cahoots, then meeting her and approaching her must have all been with a motive? She felt deeply disappointed, living to such an age but still needing her father to worry about her, shedding tears in frustration.

"If I wasn’t careful, my dad could have died! I thought at the time that my dad was disrespecting me by refusing to drink; now thinking back, it was a narrow escape."

Liu Enming comforted: "Forget it. It’s not your fault. A man like that deceiving girls definitely isn’t the first time; he’s an experienced player. You being deceived is normal, none of the problems have anything to do with you, don’t blame yourself."

Wu Qiong glanced at Liu Enming; previously he had been cold to her, but now he came to comfort her, which was good, but she was still very distressed, feeling emotionally down for several days.

Luckily, Wu Dafu came every day to comfort his daughter. One day, he saw her eating tangerine canned fruit and vomiting. His heart was in his throat. His biggest worry now was his daughter’s relationship with Song Tao, yet he didn’t dare to ask directly, only testing the waters with hints, saying things like Song Tao might never get out of prison in this lifetime, and even if he does, he won’t have good days, and if she has any lingering ties with him, she should resolve them quickly.

"The past is trivial now, what’s important is your determination. If there’s really something, you must talk to Dad, don’t be silly. It’s impossible to have a future with that person," he said seriously.
