Lin Cheng repeated those two words, “deep connection,” several times. Then he suddenly remembered how Han Zhifan had frequently been interacting with Cheng Weiwan lately.
All of a sudden, it looked like something had clicked for him. He raised his head and looked over at Han Zhifan. “Is it her?”
Even though Lin Sheng didn’t say a name, Han Zhifan knew who he was referring to. His fingers couldn’t help but tremble.
All his subtle movements fell into Lin Sheng’s line of sight.
Lin Sheng knew he had guessed right. “It really is her.”
“She has depression? Or some other mental illness?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?”
“By this, you want to help her get well?”
Lin Sheng asked quite a few questions, but Han Zhifan only quietly smoked his cigarette without reacting at all.
Lin Sheng also stopped and didn’t say anything.
Silence enveloped the office.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Sheng fiercely took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled. Then he stared at Han Zhifan and cried, “Why do you want to help her?”
Han Zhifan still didn’t say anything.
Lin Sheng didn’t wait for him to speak up. The next second, he asked, “You’re interested in her, aren’t you?”
Interested in her?
Without a second thought, Han Zhifan replied, “What the hell are you talking about? How could I be interested in her?”
“What the hell am I talking about?” Lin Sheng exhaled again. “I should’ve figured out ages ago! I’m so slow! I should’ve known after you reunited with her ages ago, found out she gave birth to your son and made me investigate Lin Muqing’s slip-ups. Then you forced her to give her son over to you. A while back, you ended up letting her see your son!”
“Look at how you not only let her watch over your son in the hospital, but you actually let her stay at your house too! Now that you know she’s ill, you actually want to help cure her… If that doesn’t mean you’re interested in her, what does?”
“I told you! I can’t possibly be interested in her! It’s impossible!” Han Zhifan was a little angry now as his voice became a little anxious.
“You said it’s impossible, but is it really impossible? Think about it! Two years ago, how did you treat her? Back then, you were ruthless and merciless! I asked you time and time again if you were really going to put your hands on her, and I repeatedly told you that the person who committed the crime was her father. Not her! She’s innocent. Yet, you didn’t listen. You insisted on taking her down and you said you were going to give Cheng Weiguo’s precious, one and only daughter, a life worse than death. This was the biggest form of revenge against Cheng Weiguo!”
“Yes, you did it! I helped you gather people to set up a whole ‘hero saves the damsel in distress’ act for you. After she found out the truth, you mercilessly pushed her away and you even told her to abort your child!”
“But look at you now! Are you still the same ‘you’ from before?”
“If you really don’t like her, why would you get a doctor from so far away just to help her?”
“How many f*cking times do you want me to say it? I told you! ‘I don’t like her’ means I don’t like her!” Han Zhifan sudden;y grabbed the ashtray and hurled it at Lin Sheng.
“If you don’t like her, why are you so agitated? Do you dare say you’re not feeling guilty right now? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking! You’re afraid. You’re afraid to love her and afraid you’ll fall for the daughter of the culprit behind your sister’s death!” Lin Sheng had always been temperamental. Now, seeing Han Zhifan throwing an ashtray at him, he was even harsher with his words!
