Chapter 48: Searching for Evidence (Part 1)

  In a hospital in London, Joanna lay alone in a room. Chen Sen carried a bag of fruit and a box of breakfast into her room. Chen Sen gently opened the door, walked to the room, put down things, and was awakened by a sound. Joanna slightly opened her eyes and saw Chen Sen standing in front of the table putting things away. Chen Sen turned around and saw that Joanna woke up, saying "You're awake."

  Joanna nodded, Chen Sen ladled out a bowl of porridge from the thermos box, "Come... eat porridge." Chen Sen handed Joanna a pillow to put behind her back, "You just had your intestines cleaned, don't eat anything too greasy."

  "I'll come myself." Chen Sen looked at the weak Joanna, wanting to feed her, but was refused by Joanna.

  Joanna took the bowl, but her hands were weak and she almost spilled it on the bed. Luckily, Chen Sen caught it in time. "You're still weak, let me do it," he said gently as he fed Joanna.

  "How is it now?" Chen Sen asked after feeding Joanne.

  "It's much better now." Joanna felt especially grateful seeing Chen Sen taking meticulous care of her.

  Chen Sen took an apple from the bag, sat on a chair and carefully peeled the skin. "Sen, thank you." Chen Sen heard Joanna's words, looked at her, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything.

  Joanna was half-lying on the bed, looking at Chen Sen. Chen Sen peeled an apple and walked to the bedside, handing it to Joanna. At this time, Chen Sen's phone rang, it was Ruan Lingfeng calling, telling him that Jiang Xue'er had been found, and asking about Joanna's situation.

  "Is... it Ling Feng?" Joanna asked.

  Chen Sen nodded and said: "Xue Er has been found, but... Anna, who gave you the medicine? Why did he want to harm you?"

  Joanna heard Chen Sen ask about this matter, and her heart was even more timid. She said that it was a capital offense to speak out, but also a capital offense not to speak out, which would implicate her parents as well. It seemed like there was no chance of turning things around in this lifetime. But then she thought that if she died without making anything clear, wouldn't that just make those bad people even more arrogant? Chen Sen looked at Joanna who remained silent and called out: "Anna."

  "Sen, don't ask me anymore, I won't say it." Joanna said firmly.

  Chen Sen saw Joanne's determined look, and with a bitter heart, he advised: "Anna, the only way to save you now is for you to reveal who is behind this. Only then can we guarantee your safety. Do you know that you've been poisoned with a slow-acting toxin and need long-term treatment? That person dared to poison you openly in the examination room. Do you think...you still have a way out?"

  Joanna's entangled heart made her hesitant. She no longer expected herself to have a good future, she only hoped that her family would be safe and sound. Joanna thought of her elder brother, who was not kind, and wondered how Pu Zuo would treat her parents now that she was under someone else's control and couldn't make decisions for herself, which made Joanna feel very painful.

  Joanna cried out: "Sen, I'm so scared, what should I do?"

  Joanna wept on Chen Sen's shoulder, and Chen Sen said: "Anna, I know you're also forced, as long as you tell me who this person is, I can keep you safe."

  "Too late, too late, Son."

  "It won't be too late, Anna. Believe me, I will definitely save you. You won't come to any harm, Anna. Listen to me, just tell me who is behind this and that they instructed you to do it, and I'll help you."

  Joanna thought to herself: I've killed people, harmed people, you can't save me. 6 years ago, it was I who had someone kill Shan Shan, not Lin Hao who killed her, it was I who killed her, I'm the murderer. And Jiang Xue Er, Jiang Xue Er was also killed by someone I sent, because I love Ling Feng, for Ling Feng's sake, I've done all sorts of bad things, and even harmed myself, it's all my fault, I deserve to die.

  "Sen, thank you for always being so concerned about me, taking care of me, and protecting me. I don't deserve it," Joanna cried out loud. "I know I've done a lot of wrong things. Six years ago, it was my fault that Shan Shan and Xue Er died. Xue Er was pushed into the sea because of my design, and the company's plan was also designed by me. I'm the one who did all the bad things... do you think there's still hope for me?"

  "What did you say? Shan Shan? You killed Shan Shan?" Chen Sen heard Qiao Anna's words and felt unbelievable.

  "Lin Hao was just a scapegoat for me. In fact, the one who really killed her was me. I hated her and Ling Feng's relationship, I was jealous of her, I hated her, so I had someone kill her. But after getting rid of Li Shan Shan, I thought Ling Feng would fall in love with me. However, at that time Jiang Xue Er appeared, so I designed a plan to frame Jiang Xue Er. I am the mastermind behind it all."

  Chen Sen couldn't believe his ears when he heard Joanna's words, he really didn't expect that the princess in his heart had actually killed someone. Chen Sen's heart was in great pain, he didn't know how to save Joanna.

  "Anna, how can you do this? Ling Feng is your cousin, and for the sake of getting him, how can you have no conscience?"

  "Forest, go." Joanne pushed Chen Sen, and Chen Sen sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

  "Anna, I know you're not that kind of person, there must be some misunderstanding, right? Why are you covering up for those bad people, why?" Chen Sen asked sorrowfully.

  Chen Sen asked more urgently, Joanne cried even harder, "Don't ask anymore, don't ask anymore, okay?"

  "Joanna, look at me. Is it those who forced you to do things with poison, did you do it under their threat? Who is that person?" Chen Sen thought of Joanna being poisoned by chronic poisoning and then being poisoned in the inspection institute, there must be something fishy going on.

  "That person has great power, we can't fight against him, he is the chairman of Yingheng Lin Ying, he has my handle in his hand, I don't want to die, so I agreed to do anything for him. Later, I regretted it and didn't want to do it anymore, then he gave me slow-acting poison to threaten me." Joanna said painfully under Chen Sen's questioning.

  "Lin Ying, it was him after all." Chen Sen took out his phone and called Rang Lingfeng, "Lingfeng, I've found out, it's Lin Ying of Yingheng."

  "Alright, I understand." To verify the evidence, Ruan Lingfeng and Chen Sen made every effort to pay.

  "Forest..." Joanna heard Chen Sen call Ran Lingfeng, and her heart began to feel afraid.

  Chen Sen knew Joanna's concerns and said, "Anna, don't worry, actually Ling Feng has known about your situation for a long time. He asked me to come protect you because of you. You focus on recovering here, I have something to take care of, I'll come back later to see you."
