Qiu Feng's voice was gentle, and before Autumn Wind could react, she was pulled away.
The staff were nervously setting up the scene, and a mannequin dressed like Qiu Ruolan was placed on the ground, which would soon be thrown off a cliff.
"Come on, let's go take a look!" Qiu Feng linked arms with Autumn Wind, getting closer to the edge of the cliff. Distracted and anxious, Autumn Wind followed Qiu Feng, her mind blank, not even realizing what she was doing.
As they walked past the lying mannequin, Autumn Wind thought that if a real person were to jump off the cliff below, they would surely die.
"Autumn Wind, look! What is that?" Qiu Feng's gentle voice rang out again as she pointed into the distance. Autumn Wind followed her finger to see.
"There's nothing there!" Autumn Wind stood on tiptoe to see better when suddenly a pair of hands landed on her shoulders. Startled, she turned around; with a forceful push, her body leaned forward. "Ah..."
Flailing her arms and legs in the air, she barely managed to grab the edge of the cliff. It was Qiu Feng who had pushed her!
This thought left Autumn Wind too weak to scream for help; she merely opened her mouth slightly and stiffly raised her neck to look at Qiu Feng standing at the edge of the cliff. Her face showed no expression—neither sadness nor joy. She bent down, a strange smile suddenly appearing at the corners of her mouth as she gently brushed past Autumn Wind's hand gripping the cliff's edge.
With a light tug, Qiu Feng pried one of Autumn Wind's hands away from the edge and then looked at her other hand gripping tightly with a sinister grin.
No, she wants to kill me, Autumn Wind realized Qiu Feng's intention. "Help!" she finally cried out.
The busy staff finally noticed something was wrong. "Someone has fallen off the cliff! Someone has fallen!"
Qiu Feng's hand suddenly straightened and tightly gripped Autumn Wind's wrist. Her gaze softened unexpectedly. "Autumn Wind. You have to hold on!" She pulled hard on Autumn Wind.
Everyone rushed over in panic, and soon Autumn Wind was pulled back up.
Qiu Feng embraced Autumn Wind, gently patting her back and whispering comfortingly, "Why are you so careless? You almost died, do you know that?" Her tone was sincere, completely devoid of the earlier malice.
Autumn Wind broke free from her embrace, her mind in chaos. What had just happened? Yes, it was her; she pushed me down; she wanted to kill me! But now... Autumn Wind held her head in her hands. "Ah! What exactly happened?" She squatted down on the ground and began to cry softly.
Qiu Feng remained gentle as she half-squatted beside Autumn Wind. "Were you scared? Look at you all sweaty; it's okay now, it's okay..."
Qiu Ruolan was resting in the nanny car when she searched the entire venue but couldn't find Autumn Wind. She instructed her assistant to look for her. The assistant hurried back in less than a minute, saying, "Sister Sally, it's bad! Sister Qiufeng almost fell off a cliff!"
"What!" Qiu Ruolan pushed aside her plum juice, jumped out of the car, and ran quickly. From a distance, she saw Autumn Wind squatting on the ground. "Autumn Wind, Autumn Wind, what's wrong with you!"
She pulled Autumn Wind up and carefully examined her body, feeling extreme pain. "Your hand, your hand is hurt! Someone help!" She shouted loudly. Ever since Wang Ling told her about the possibility between herself and Autumn Wind, she had been thinking about how their relationship should progress further.
Autumn Wind stared at Qiu Ruolan for a moment before suddenly pulling away as if pricked by a needle. She remembered that voice—the one that told her Qiu Ruolan was her enemy.
Looking sadly at Qiu Feng, the recent speculation about Ren Ran flashed in her mind. She pursed her lips and looked at Qiu Ruolan, relieved that she hadn’t done anything.
However, Qiu Ruolan couldn't understand Autumn Wind's feelings at that moment. She also looked at Qiu Feng and said, "Zhao Jingqi, thanks to you!"
Everyone echoed Qiu Ruolan's words, "Yes, yes! Sister Zhao, you are truly a hero!"
Autumn Wind sneered and staggered away into the distance.
As she walked, she took out her phone; she wanted Uncle Liu to come pick her up because she didn't want to stay there. But before she could press the number, a police car sped over, followed by two luxury cars.
The three vehicles almost stopped simultaneously. Autumn Wind's phone rang with Uncle Liu's voice on the line. "Sister Qiu, I'm coming to get you..."
Just as Autumn Wind was about to respond, she suddenly recognized that the luxury car belonged to Qiu Hai. So she said, "It's fine, it's fine!" She hung up and took a few steps forward.
The police car opened its door first, and Chen Guoliang stepped out. "Sister Qiu is here too!" He brushed past Autumn Wind and walked ahead.
Qiu Hai's car door opened next, and Liu Jian and Qiu Hai walked up to Autumn Wind one after another. Seeing that Autumn Wind's complexion had changed, Qiu Hai gently stopped her by the shoulder and patted it but said nothing.
Chen Guoliang headed straight for the crowd. Qiu Ruolan noticed the police who had just arrived; she looked at Chen Guoliang and felt he looked familiar but couldn't recall where she had seen him before.
Chen Guoliang approached Qiu Feng directly and took out his identification. "Hello, Sister Zhao. There is a case that requires you to come back to the police station with me..." After finishing his sentence, he waved his hand to call over his subordinates, who surprisingly brought out handcuffs and placed them on Qiu Feng's wrist.
Qiu Ruolan looked at Qiu Feng, knowing that once the handcuffs were on, it meant that things were not as simple as just assisting in the case. Qiu Feng's face was pale, and he followed the police slowly. As they passed by Autumn Wind, Qiu Feng suddenly lunged in front of Autumn Wind.
The pale face revealed a strange smile, like a hungry wolf, as he bit down on Autumn Wind's earlobe. Autumn Wind let out a scream and crouched down. Qiu Feng's words came out mixed with eerie laughter, "I will kill you sooner or later... Ah, let go of me!" A police officer stepped in to restrain Qiu Feng.
Autumn Wind covered her ear, which was throbbing from the bite, but she looked up in shock. She saw the rage in Qiu Feng's eyes that could kill her. Qiu Feng's roar echoed from a distance, growing fainter yet filled with resentment, "Autumn Wind, you caused Yusha's death; I will kill you!"
Yusha? The name pierced Autumn Wind's fragile soul. She finally understood why Qiu Feng hated her so much and wanted to kill her! Autumn Wind slowly stood up, blood dripping from her ear and staining her hands. She wanted to explain, but her lips were too dry to make a sound.
Blood dripped from her earlobe onto her white coat, the special fabric causing the stains to form a unique pattern.
Qiu Ruolan called over an assistant to help Autumn Wind into her van. She then took out a first aid kit and cautiously began to disinfect and bandage Autumn Wind's wound.
Autumn Wind gritted her teeth to endure the pain. Qiu Hai stood at the van's door, reaching out to hold Autumn Wind's hand. She still had dust from the cliff on her fingers. Curious, she swallowed hard and finally spoke as Qiu Ruolan applied ointment to her wound, "What just happened?" He noticed that when they arrived, the crew members were gathered together.
Recalling Qiu Feng's fierce expression made Autumn Wind's heart sink endlessly. She wanted to lower her head but was firmly held by Qiu Ruolan’s hand on her chin. "The ointment isn't finished yet; hold on!"
Autumn Wind's avoidance led Qiu Hai to conclude that something had indeed happened. He decided not to press further with Autumn Wind but turned to look at a crew member standing nearby who was holding Qiu Ruolan’s script. "What just happened?" Qiu Hai asked quietly.
The assistant had just entered the workforce and looked up to see a handsome face before him. Upon closer inspection, he recognized it was the chairman of HK, and his face flushed red. "Just now... just now, Sister Qiufeng almost fell off the cliff! Luckily, Qiu Feng pulled her back up!" The assistant stammered.
Qiu Feng saved Autumn Wind? He found it hard to believe she would be so kind-hearted. He didn’t show his disbelief on his face but carefully surveyed the surroundings. "Why did they choose such a place for this scene?"
"According to what I heard, it was Qiu Feng who recommended it to the director!" The assistant replied hurriedly.
Qiu Feng recommended it? A smile crept onto Qiu Hai’s lips; everything started to make sense.
Qiu Ruolan finished applying the ointment for Autumn Wind and put away the medicine cabinet. She got out of the other side of the van and pulled off the troublesome costume before walking over to Qiu Hai. "What are you doing here?" Before Qiu Hai could respond, she asked again, "What was that police officer's name? Why did you come with him?"
Qiu Hai raised an eyebrow and replied lightly with a smile, "Chen Guoliang? Chan Sir? He's in charge of the Ervin case!"
"Is this related to the case of Qiu Feng and Qiu Mowen?" Qiu Ruolan murmured to herself. She paused slightly, taking a deep breath. "But you still haven't told me why you are here!"
Qiu Hai coldly chuckled, looking up at Autumn Wind in the van. Autumn Wind exuded a grayish aura, enveloped in despair and loneliness; she was terrified by the truths related to Qiu Feng!
Qiu Hai did not answer Qiu Ruolan and walked straight toward Autumn Wind. "Hey, you haven't answered me yet?" Qiu Ruolan realized Qiu Hai's movement and shouted anxiously, but when she saw that Qiu Hai intended to communicate with Autumn Wind, she stopped shouting and obediently followed behind Qiu Hai toward Autumn Wind.
Qiu Hai gentlemanly extended his hand in front of Autumn Wind and gently said, "Let's go home."
Autumn Wind weakly lifted her head to meet Qiu Hai's gaze. He looked at her intently, his eyes blinking as if to tell her that he already knew everything. Tears could no longer be controlled, streaming down her face; all her willpower was overwhelmed by the truth, leaving nothing behind.
Autumn Wind held onto Qiu Hai's arm, walking as cautiously as a couple on the Red Carpet.
Qiu Ruolan had seen Autumn Wind during her engagement with Wang Shaowu when Qiu Mowen led her toward Liu Jian in a video. The sight of Autumn Wind linking arms with Qiu Hai struck her like a lightning bolt; past suspicions surged forth in that moment—no!
Qiu Ruolan hurriedly ran toward Qiu Hai's car.
Qiu Hai helped Autumn Wind into the car and turned to head toward the driver's seat. However, upon turning his head, he saw Qiu Ruolan standing in front of him, her brow slightly furrowed as she curiously looked at him. "Sister Sally, you..."
But all that came out of Qiu Ruolan's mouth were three words: "Who are you?" Each word was pronounced distinctly, her voice sharp as bamboo breaking!
