Chapter 284: Chapter 107: Unveiling the Truth, All Are Sinners (Part 3)

He drank somewhat slowly.

Normally, he could finish a bowl of soup in one gulp, but today it took him a full five minutes.

Those five minutes felt like an eternity for Bai Xuan.

Putting down the bowl, Jiang Heng wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked straight at Bai Xuan, bluntly asking, "The night Bai Yusheng died, where were you?"

Suddenly hearing the name of her deceased father, Bai Xuan was taken aback.

After thinking carefully, Bai Xuan shook her head and said, "If I said I don’t remember at all, would you believe me?"

"You don’t remember at all?"

Bai Xuan nodded, "Yes, I’ve lost all memory about the time around my father’s death." Fearing Jiang Heng wouldn’t believe her, Bai Xuan hurriedly explained, "I’m telling the truth, I was sick during that time, you can check my hospital records."

Nodding, Jiang Heng said, "Already checking."

Hearing this, Bai Xuan was stunned.

"Ah Heng, what exactly are you thinking?" Bai Xuan didn’t understand what Jiang Heng really wanted to know, she said, "Just because I ignored Bai Xi’s situation back then, you want to completely deny me?"

"Not just that." Jiang Heng glanced at the scar on Bai Xuan’s wrist and suddenly said, "Back then, we were locked in a sealed cave by the Rashomon organization, there were no sharp objects inside."

"But the wound on your wrist is a knife wound."

Bai Xuan was not a fool.

Jiang Heng’s words hinted at something, and Bai Xuan understood immediately. "Are you suspecting that you have mistaken the identity of your savior? That I’m not the little girl who saved you back then?"

Jiang Heng remained silent.

This was an admission.

Bai Xuan found it absurdly funny, she sharply questioned Jiang Heng, "Ah Heng, do you love me, or the little girl who saved you back then? If I’m really not that girl, what would you choose?"

As she asked this, tears kept brimming in Bai Xuan’s eyes.

She felt wronged and heartbroken.

Seeing Jiang Heng frown and remain silent, Bai Xuan felt as if her heart was being torn apart, she choked and said, "So, your kindness towards me was all based on childhood feelings. Jiang Heng, what is it that you actually love?"

Jiang Heng gazed at Bai Xuan’s tearful and heart-wrenching appearance, his chest heavy with pain. "I love you," Jiang Heng said, "Even if you are not the little girl who saved me back then, I still love you."

All the efforts and affection over the years were genuine.

Jiang Heng couldn’t deceive his own heart.

Hearing this, Bai Xuan felt slightly reassured.

She took out a tissue, wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, and puzzled, she questioned Jiang Heng, "Then what exactly are you tangled up about? If I’m not your savior, then go find your savior, and once you find her, we’ll both repay her together!"

Bai Xuan couldn’t understand what emotion Jiang Heng was dealing with.

Jiang Heng smiled bitterly, "It’s not that simple."

Bai Xuan, however, said, "This is actually very simple, you are overthinking it."

Shaking his head, Jiang Heng said complexly, "The little girl who saved me, her last name is Bai, she is from Haiyu City, she also has a scar on her wrist. And that scar must have been bitten open directly."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Heng showed a look of pain, covering his face with both hands, he sighed with regret and guilt: "Xuan’er, the person who saved me was Bai Xi, it was Bai Xi! The one who was driven to depression by you and Jie Siyu, and nearly jumped to her death, Bai Xi!"

Heaven knows, when Jiang Heng read the information Jiang Qin found and learned that Bai Xi was the little girl who saved him back then, how overwhelming the feeling of absurdity in his heart was.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan felt as if the world was spinning, the buzzing in her ears drowned everything out, leaving her temporarily deaf.

She saw Jiang Heng’s lips moving but couldn’t hear what he was saying.

After a long while, Jiang Heng’s voice faintly reached Bai Xuan’s ears, "Do you know what happened after your mother sent her to the room of a wealthy businessman?"

Jiang Heng said, "To stay conscious, she broke a wine bottle in the hotel and used it to puncture the wealthy man’s femoral artery, forcing him to be immobile. She then injured her own leg and used the intense pain to resist the effects of the drug, that’s how she escaped alive."

"After successfully escaping the hotel, Bai Xi wandered the street in a state of panic and was hit by a motorcycle, nearly dying, but was fortunately saved by the Cheng Family’s daughter."

"Cheng Xizhou asked his parents to help arrange her school enrollment and recognized her as a goddaughter. But the good times didn’t last long, after recovering, that wealthy businessman sought revenge and used coercive measures to force the Cheng Family to hand over Bai Xi. Under pressure from his parents, Cheng Xizhou could only hand Bai Xi over to them."
