Feng Xinying looked at him and repeated her sentence, "Yes, I killed Lim Chuen. But before I killed him, he told me that he had framed your father after killing my mother. It was Xie Weihui who actually killed my mother because she was promised twenty percent shares of the Feng Conglomerate."  

"H- how did you kill him? W- why did you kill him?" Blood from Xie Shengjun's face drained and he looked pale. Killing Lim Chuen was something huge. If the police came to know about it, there would be no repose with Feng Xinying. 

"Why are you looking so scared? Can't you take care of this matter?" she asked tilting her head. 

"D- don't speak about it to anyone? Okay?" he said as he started thinking about how to plug the holes. "Where is the body?"

Feng Xinying told him all the details. Xie Shengjun's eyes became wider. 

Then on retrospect, she asked, "Whose photo was Xie Yuansheng showing on the phone?" she asked. 

"Lim Chuen's." Her doubts confirmed. 

"Then weren't you guys going to take action on it?"

"You cannot go and kill a prominent businessman like that. Can you imagine the scandal we are in Feng Xinying?" Xie Shengjun looked extremely agitated. "Xie Yuansheng is in the hospital being operated for an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt while Lim Chuen is murdered by you!" 

"Apart from my security who fired the first shot to save me, only you are the one who knows about it now. So what makes you think that the blame will come on me?" she asked. There was a short pause and she added with anger, "Oh! Unless you decide to tell it to the world? Will you do that Xie Shengjun?" 

"Are you mad? Why will I go and tell it to anyone?" he shouted at her. 

"Sometimes I am wary of your action Xie Shengjun," she said staring at him as if suspecting his intentions. 

He stared back at her. "You should be Feng Xinying. That will help you think objectively. This line of work needs a cold mind." 

"What should we do next?" she asked. "I will stay in the hospital until Xie Yuansheng is out of the current situation." 

Xie Shengjun was nervous. "We have to talk to Su Haobing to keep his mouth shut. The person who tried to kill Xie Yuansheng knew about your plans. He knew that you had asked Su Haobing to kill Xie Yuansheng. He must have waited for Su Haobing to kill Xie Yuansheng and when the fire wasn't shot, he had taken the chance. The fact that Su Haobing was arrested means that it was a pre-planned strategy. It would be easy to establish your connection with Su Haobing and this would lead to you getting involved in the case. This means that the police would suspect that you are the person who murdered Xie Yuansheng."

Feng Xinying's anxiety increased suddenly. Her body started shaking uncontrollably. Xie Shengjun went to her and held her by her shoulders. "Feng Xinying! Don't get nervous. We have to come out of this as soon as possible. I will go to meet Su Haobing tomorrow, okay?" 

She nodded and Xie Shengjun went to fetch a gla.s.s of water for her. Before the police suspected her link with Su Haobing, she had to find things out. 

While she was drinking water, her aunt came. She ran to Feng Xinying and embraced her. "My poor little child, how could you bear this all alone? Why didn't you call your auntie? Am I dead?" complained Jiao Long as she patted Feng Xinying's back. Feng Xinying felt so nice to be embraced by someone from her own family that she gave in. She started crying. 

"No, Ying'er, no… don't cry… I am sure things will become better soon." Jiao Long kept a.s.suring her until she calmed down. Xie Shengjun watched the two of them and when Feng Xinying stopped crying, he offered her a towel kept nearby to wipe her face. She looked at him. Immediately he brought his finger to his mouth and asked her to stay very quiet about everything. She lowered her head and wiped her tears. 

"How did all this happen?" asked Jiao Long as she sat on a chair beside the bed. 

"Auntie, we have a lot of enemies. The case is already with the police and they will find out about it…" 

"Don't worry, my dear. After Feng Zhantian, you are the only one left for us to take care of the Feng Conglomerate. You have to be strong, okay?" replied Jiao Long putting her hand beneath her chin and lifting her face. She wiped her tears affectionately. "My dear child, let me know if I can help you in any way."

"No auntie…" replied Feng Xinying. "Thanks for your concern…" she added with a weak smile. "I just want Xie Yuansheng to come out of this…"

"He will. Have faith in G.o.d!" Jiao Long a.s.sured her. 

Feng Xinying nodded. Jiao Long sat on the bed and talked about various other things while Xie Shengjun kept watching the two ladies. He wanted to talk more to Feng Xinying about Lim Chuen. 

Jiao Long left after an hour after saying that she would come the next day too. 

When she left, Xie Shengjun asked, "Xinying, are you tired or you can answer some questions. If you are tired, I can leave and come back tomorrow." 

"Xie Shengjun, I am tired and want to sleep. So much has happened today that my mind is not functioning. You can come tomorrow," she answered feeling very exhausted. 

"Okay…" replied Xie Shengjun. He was disappointed that he waited so long for nothing. As he was about to leave, she said, "Don't forget to leak the information that Lim Chuen is missing."

Xie Shengjun turned back. "What purpose would that solve Feng Xinying? In a few days his family is going to report him missing and the police will start finding him. In fact it is better that we don't report it. We will get some time and lead to cover all this."

"No, Xie Shengjun. His family would not report him. It is important that that family's attention is diverted. I don't trust Chang Ling."
