Chapter 222 Are you sure she is the one you are looking for?
Sun Ying was originally sitting in the corner, holding the trembling Sun Shaojie tightly in her arms, trying to give him some comfort and a sense of security.
But at this moment, seeing that Chu Lingfeng's life was hanging by a thread, she could no longer sit still. She gently put Sun Shaojie aside, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, then she quickly stood up and ran towards Murong Linger.
"Miss Murong, please! If you want to kill me, please kill me! This is all my fault. I've implicated Master Chu."
Sun Ying knelt down in front of Murong Ling'er with a thud, tears welling up in her eyes, sliding down her pale cheeks, dripping into the dust, splashing tiny mud flowers.
Her body was shaking, her hands were clasped together, she begged desperately, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.
Sun Ying's action was like lighting a powder keg, causing Huo Shuixian, who was already heartbroken and on the verge of emotional collapse, to explode instantly. Her eyes were burning with rage, and she pounced on Sun Ying like a mad female beast.
Huo Shuixian's hands were like eagle claws, grabbing Sun Ying's hair fiercely. She used all her strength to slap her left and right, slapping her wildly.
"Bitch! My father died because of you! I'm going to beat you to death today to avenge my father!"
Huo Shuixian's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing all around. Every word seemed to carry endless hatred and pain. Tears were streaming down her face, and her hair was messy due to her excitement. She had completely lost her usual gentle image.
"Sister!" Sun Shaojie's eyes widened instantly when he saw this, and a strong anger and desire to protect surged in his heart.
He desperately got up from the ground and rushed towards Huo Shuixian and Sun Ying.
However, he had just run a few steps when he was hugged by Chu Chu.
"Don't go!" Chuchu's voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness. She held Sun Shaojie tightly with both hands. Although she couldn't bear to see Sun Ying being beaten, she was well aware of the complexity of the matter.
After all, Huo Shuixian was angry, and Huo Jianjie's death was indeed related to Sun Ying. If she rashly stepped forward to dissuade him, it would probably only make things worse.
"Let me go! Let me go! I want to save my sister!"
Sun Shaojie struggled desperately, his little face flushed red, and he kicked his feet on the ground with all his strength. He almost knocked Chuchu to the ground with such incredible force.
"Shut up!" Chu Yinyin's face darkened and she walked over quickly. She raised her hand and slapped Sun Shaojie hard on the head. The slap was so powerful that Sun Shaojie saw stars, his body swayed a few times, and he almost fell to the ground.
A trace of grievance and anger flashed in his eyes, but under Chu Yinyin's stern gaze, he did not dare to resist anymore.
At this time, the air was filled with tension and oppression. Everyone's eyes shuttled back and forth between Murong Ling'er, Chu Lingfeng, Sun Ying, Huo Shuixian and others. Everyone's heart was filled with worry and uneasiness, but no one was willing to stand up and stop it.
In their minds, Sun Ying was just an insignificant little person. How could she possibly compete with the Huo family? To offend the Huo family was to ask for trouble, and no one wanted to bring disaster upon themselves.
Chu Lingfeng stood aside, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it. It was not that he did not want to save Sun Ying, but the anger in his heart was growing like weeds. He helped Sun Ying purely because of the promise he had made in the past, and there was absolutely no romance between men and women.
But now Sun Ying's impulsive action has undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront of public opinion, making others think that there is some hidden relationship between them. Those unclear eyes are like thorns piercing his heart, making him suffer in silence.
Deng Lihua and Huo Zihao stood aside, with resentment flashing in their eyes, staring at Sun Ying who was screaming in pain under the punches and kicks.
Deng Lihua clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. If it weren't for her status as an elder, she would have been unable to suppress her inner impulse and would have rushed forward to teach this ignorant girl a lesson with her own hands.
Huo Shuixian was like a mad female beast, venting all the pain and anger in her heart on Sun Ying's weak body. Sun Ying had no strength to fight back and could only curl up and endure it.
She knew in her heart that the worse she suffered, the more likely it would quench the Huo family's anger, and the more likely it would win a bit of sympathy from Chu Lingfeng.
But she never expected that she had completely underestimated Huo Jianjie's weight in the Huo family, and she couldn't figure out Chu Lingfeng's true thoughts.
This beating was ultimately in vain.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Shuixian was tired and her voice was hoarse, so she finally stopped.
At this time, Sun Ying's face was already unrecognizable. Her originally pretty face was swollen like a steamed bun with blue and purple spots. There were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth. Her hair was scattered messily on her face. She looked extremely miserable.
The people around her looked at her miserable state, some with an expression of gloating, while others looked away indifferently.
Only her younger brother Sun Shaojie had eyes full of heartache and anger, but because he was outnumbered, he didn't dare to step forward rashly. He could only clench his fists secretly and grit his teeth.
Murong Ling'er stood not far away, her eyes cold, as if everything happening before her had nothing to do with her. She just glanced at Sun Ying's miserable appearance and then looked away, without any pity or sympathy, and she was too lazy to even say a word of ridicule.
Sun Ying endured the severe pain all over her body and refused to escape from this humiliating place. Her eyes passed through the crowd and looked straight at Chu Lingfeng, her eyes full of dependence and worry. On this long and arduous road of exile, Chu Lingfeng was her only support and the last hope in her heart.
Moreover, the plan in her mind had not yet been realized, so how could she give up so easily? She hoped that Chu Lingfeng would look at her, stand up for her, even if it was just a word.
However, Chu Lingfeng seemed not to see her, and his eyes passed straight over her.
Ever since he spat out that mouthful of blood, Chu Lingfeng suddenly discovered that the piercing pain in his body was dissipating bit by bit. The pain that seemed to tear him apart just now now seemed like an illusory dream.
He was full of doubts and couldn't help but look at Murong Ling'er.
Recalling the scene where Murong Ling'er stopped Mr. Li from saving him, Chu Lingfeng felt mixed emotions.
Originally, he thought Murong Ling'er hated him to the core and wished he would die of poisoning on the spot, but the current situation made him realize that he seemed to have misunderstood her.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingfeng's aching heart miraculously calmed down.
"Miss Murong, I..." Chu Lingfeng was about to say something when he was coldly interrupted by Murong Ling'er.
"You said she is the person you are looking for, are you sure?" Murong Ling'er's voice was cold, and her eyes stared straight at Chu Lingfeng, as if she wanted to see through his heart.
Chu Lingfeng's brows instantly wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
He didn't want Sun Ying to know about this matter. After all, before the truth came out, any assertion might cause unnecessary trouble.
However, facing Murong Ling'er's compelling gaze, Chu Lingfeng really didn't want to hide anything from her.
He sighed inwardly, then slowly raised his head, looking past the crowd and landing on Sun Ying's scarred body. After a moment of silence, he said:
"I...I'm not sure, but at the moment, she is the most likely person."
Chu Lingfeng's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of confusion that he himself was not even aware of.
