Wang Ziyan's face changed instantly; she did not want to die.
Clearly, after a good crash, someone would come to rescue her, but after the car behind passed by, it disappeared without a trace. Could it be a mistake? Impossible!
She frantically twisted her body, trying to squeeze out, but felt the restraints on her body tightening more and more, making it hard for her to breathe. The sound of fuel leaking from the tank was clearly audible in her ears.
It really is leaking; is it about to explode? She needed to hurry.
Song Pearl in the passenger seat had her eyes tightly closed as if she were just asleep. The car flipped over only caused her to lean to one side. Wang Ziyan couldn't care less about why she was so lucky; she just wanted to escape quickly. Otherwise, if the car caught fire, she would become Song Pearl's burial companion.
She fumbled for her phone in a close position; although her hands trembled a bit, she quickly pressed the keys.
"You will have someone come help; where are they? Hurry and get me out!" she shouted into the phone.
There was silence on the other end after she finished shouting; the call had already been disconnected.
Song Zhenbao! Wang Ziyan gritted her teeth. She had already lost all her strength, and the fear of impending death washed over her.
When Song Zhenbao found her to discuss a mutually beneficial cooperation plan, she had hesitated.
At that time, Song Zhenbao stood across from her with his arms crossed, dazzling and looking down at her.
"Do you want your hard work to benefit Song Pearl? Wu Qiang is just using you; everything he does is ultimately for Song Pearl. Even if he dies, his wealth won't fall into your hands."
"He has no money; I like him as a person." Wang Ziyan did not want to lose in momentum to Song Zhenbao.
"You like him as a person?" Song Zhenbao laughed, his face full of mockery. "You are a smart person. If he didn't raise funds to build the Ecological Aquaculture Park, would you be clinging to him shamelessly? When Song Pearl comes back, she will divorce Qing Wenyu. With her personality, she wouldn't take a penny from Qing Wenyu. By then, when she finds out that her dear classmate and best friend has become her stepmother, you three will surely get along very well..."
"Our matters are none of your business!"
Wang Ziyan slapped the table and stood up, raising her foot as if to leave, when Song Zhenbao's sweet and soft voice rang out again.
"Don't tell me Wu Qiang has no money. Don't forget, I am his daughter. I know his assets better than you after living together for so many years. You two have already received your marriage certificate, right? If Song Pearl dies, Wu Qiang will definitely be devastated. At that time, everything will belong to you, and I will also compensate you with another big gift. Do you really want to live a mediocre life? If one does not plan for oneself, they will never rise above their circumstances. Have you thought it through?"
Does Wu Qiang have money? She really couldn't see it. All his money was borrowed.
After getting to know him, all she could see was his wisdom and love for his daughter.
However, Wang Ziyan ultimately did not take a step out; she turned back and sat down in her original position. She had known Song Zhenbao for over two years, and this woman's methods made her feel both admiration and jealousy.
She wanted to be like her, but opportunities never seemed to come her way.
"What do you want? I won't do anything illegal or harmful."
"That's a smart decision," Song Zhenbao said with a smile as she sat across from her. A conspiracy was brewing just like that.
"Because it's very dangerous, no one will suspect you. In the end, if Song Pearl can't be saved, it will only cost her life. Wu Qiang can't blame you either; after all, he chose to build the Ecological Aquaculture Park in that desolate place!"
It was like a ghostly command. She agreed to Song Zhenbao's plan.
Only now did she realize how absurd this was. Song Zhenbao could coldly calculate the death of Song Pearl. Wouldn't that also mean she, Wang Ziyan, would be buried alongside her?
Was there no way out? She felt powerless; her phone slipped from her hand weakly. Outside the car window, a cold wind swirled up from the ground, blowing into every pore of her body. She shivered and reached out to shake the unconscious Song Pearl vigorously; she didn't intend to stake her life on this!
"Pearl! Pearl!"
With her cries, a strong wave of heat surged through her body. Just before losing consciousness, Wang Ziyan saw Song Pearl open her eyes, her dark pupils staring at her as she reached out a hand.
"Are they all dead?" Wang Ziyan opened her eyes.
Not far away, a truck was emitting green smoke, and a car with its siren blaring was approaching.
According to what people say, when someone dies, their soul floats away. She saw Song Pearl's soul sitting beside her. Was she here to collect a debt?
No, if she were dead, she wouldn't feel pain. Yet, there was a clear sensation of pain and burning coming from her body.
"Pearl, you saved me!" Wang Ziyan couldn't hide her excitement.
"Fortunately, I woke up; otherwise, the world would have lost another beauty!" Song Pearl looked at her with a slight smile. "Do you really wish for my death? So eager, right after I just came back?"
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so jealous of you." Wang Ziyan felt relieved to be able to say this so candidly.
"You'll be fine! The ambulance will take you to the hospital. I have to go now." Song Pearl stood up, brushed off the dust from her clothes, and ran off into the distance. Her thin and frail figure seemed like it could be blown away by the wind.
"Pearl, listen to me!" Wang Ziyan raised her arm in an attempt to stop her, but she had already gone far away.
Would she go to Wu Qiang to complain first? Wang Ziyan looked at her scraped skin; fortunately, her injuries were more serious than Song Pearl's—this was just an accident.
The back of her head still throbbed with dull pain; there was a large bump but no bleeding. After experiencing a blow to the head, Song Pearl found that her mind was clearer than before; thinking became more transparent.
She knew that the former Song Pearl had drifted further away from her. The current her was completely a Fish Spirit's soul. It was time to let go of everything and live for herself!
Finally encountering a taxi, Song Pearl hailed it and got in.
"Miss, you look unwell! Were you scared by the accident earlier?" The driver asked as she got into the car.
Song Pearl made a sound of acknowledgment.
"This road is often overloaded. Some sand trucks pass through here, and after six months without maintenance, it has become full of potholes. It's normal for accidents to happen. The person in that car was lucky; it seems they managed to crawl out! Why are you walking this far? Where are you going?"
"Is there a newly built Ecological Aquaculture Park up ahead? I'm going there."
"The newly constructed Ecological Aquaculture Park by the coast?" The driver tapped his head. "Are you going there for business? I've heard that many new species bred there are quite valuable, and it's hard to get supplies! Do you have any connections going there at this time?"
"I know the owner of the place." Song Pearl glanced at him and said.
In the fully enclosed Ecological Aquaculture Farm, Song Pearl saw Wu Qiang, who was indeed cooking.
"Wang Ziyan went to pick you up. Didn't you run into her?" Wu Qiang asked, a bit surprised to see Song Pearl alone, looking behind her to confirm there was no car.
"You married Wang Ziyan? Why have you never mentioned it to me?" Song Pearl asked.
"Cough, cough." Wu Qiang coughed awkwardly a couple of times. "There's nothing good about it. She wanted to stay and help me manage the Ecological Aquaculture Farm. I think she's quite professional and experienced, so I agreed. Living under the same roof, who knew she would develop feelings for me... So, it just happened..."
Wu Qiang's face turned slightly red. "I didn't know how to tell you!"
Song Pearl chuckled. "Dad, there's nothing to be embarrassed about as long as you're happy. I've always wanted you to find someone. Wang Ziyan is straightforward; if she truly cares for you, she’s actually quite suitable. You should treat her well!"
"This Girl is straightforward but also has her own calculations!" Wu Qiang laughed heartily. "She went to pick you up, but you didn't see her? Where did she go?"
"Her car had an accident. So I came over first." Song Pearl smiled and replied.
"An accident!" Wu Qiang exclaimed in surprise. "What kind of accident?"
"The road was difficult to navigate. The car suddenly flipped," Song Pearl said.
"How could this happen! Is she okay? I need to go check," Wu Qiang hurriedly prepared to leave.
"She's fine, just a little scraped up. She'll probably be back soon," Song Pearl stopped Wu Qiang, "Dad, I just got back and have a lot to talk to you about."
Although Wu Qiang felt anxious, he patiently stayed.
Song Pearl was his daughter, and everything he did was for her. Now, however, he was somewhat flustered because of Wang Ziyan.
"Pearl, it's getting late. I'll call Wang Ziyan first," Wu Qiang said as he dialed her number, but the call couldn't be connected.
When he dialed again, Wang Ziyan had already entered the Ecological Aquaculture Farm.
"I'm back."
Wu Qiang looked up at her; she appeared somewhat disheveled and walked unsteadily.
"If I had known, I would have gone to pick up Pearl. How could this happen!" Wu Qiang rushed over to help Wang Ziyan sit down.
He noticed the distance between Song Pearl and Wang Ziyan and frowned as he asked, "Did you two have a falling out? Sigh! It's all because I didn't talk to Pearl earlier!"
"It's not because of that!" Wang Ziyan suddenly covered her face and started crying. "It's my fault; I was foolish and wronged Pearl! If it weren't for Pearl pulling me out, I would have lost my life!"
After crying for a while, she wiped her tears and sobbed as she recounted what Song Zhenbao had discussed with her.
Song Pearl remained silent, and Wu Qiang sighed, comforting her, "It's good that you can recognize your mistakes. Thankfully, nothing serious happened."
Wu Qiang looked at Song Pearl again and slowly said, "Qing Wenyu's sudden illness gave Song Zhenbao a great opportunity to show his true colors. I never realized how cunning she was before. In the Qing Family, she had already won over a group of people to speak for her. Qing Yuansheng, considering his own interests, went from being wary of her to ultimately compromising with her. Her goal is very clear: to marry Qing Wenyu. At that time, you were still by Qing Wenyu's side taking care of him, while she had already tacitly accepted her conditions here. As long as she manages the Qing Corporation well, she can achieve her goal. No matter how Qing Wenyu changes, she will not mind and is willing to be the Daughter-in-law of the Qing Family."
"So, even though Zhang Yunye no longer invests in her, it has no effect on her. And as soon as Qing Wenyu returned, he proposed to divorce me," Song Pearl continued his words.
"That's right," Wu Qiang nodded. "Qing Yuansheng had already given me a heads-up about this matter. I had warned you long ago that the people of the Qing Family are too focused on their own interests. Qing Wenyu is not someone you can trust for a lifetime. The reason he didn't come to pick you up yesterday was just to let you see clearly. You took care of Qing Wenyu for half a year, yet he abandoned you without hesitation. Now you can let go, right?"
"This Ecological Aquaculture Farm's Wildlife has all been transferred from the original Ecological Aquaculture Farm. Once you take a stroll around, you'll find that it is no different from the Song Family Village's Ecological Aquaculture Farm."
Wu Qiang was pleased with this.
"Thank you, Dad, for doing so much for me; I am very happy. But I don't want to let go of Qing Wenyu. Although he proposed divorce, I will not agree."
"Not agree? Are you still not giving up?" Wu Qiang and Wang Ziyan were both surprised at the same time. "Can you really refuse?"
"If it weren't for this car accident and if Song Zhenbao didn't want to put me in danger, I might have agreed by now. But suddenly I can't bear to let Qing Wenyu live with someone so cruel-hearted; I don't want him to be confused for a lifetime!" (To be continued...)
