Qin Reng suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Yuetong's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

“Yu Yuetong,” his voice was low and dangerous, “you’d better tell the truth, or else…”

Yu Yuetong's heart raced, and she felt her breathing become rapid.

She tried to remain calm, forcing herself to say, "Otherwise what? You're not going to eat me, are you?"

Qin Reng looked at her feigned strength and suddenly laughed, his laughter deep and sexy.

"Eat you?" He leaned closer to Yu Yuetong, their noses almost touching. "I have many ways to 'eat' you, do you want to try?"

His words, like a feather, gently brushed against Yu Yuetong's heart, making her feel a tingling sensation all over her body.

She felt her cheeks burning and her heart pounding.

She tried to dodge, but found that her body was frozen in place and she couldn't move.

"You..." Yu Yuetong opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Qin Reng's smile deepened as he looked at her flustered appearance.

He released his grip on her chin and instead gently stroked her cheek. The warmth of his fingertips traveled through her skin and into her heart, making her even more flustered.

"Yu Yuetong," Qin Reng's voice was low and hoarse, "do you know how alluring your expression is right now?"

Yu Yuetong felt her mind go blank. She didn't know how to respond to Qin Reng's words, nor did she know what she should do.

She could only stare blankly at him, letting him take liberties with her.

Just then, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, shattering the ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage.

Yu Yuetong's body suddenly lurched forward, almost hitting the seat in front of her.

Qin Reng quickly grabbed her waist and held her firmly in his arms.

"What happened?" Qin Reng asked in an unhappy tone.

The driver's voice trembled slightly: "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, there seems to be someone ahead..."

Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong both looked ahead and saw a figure lying motionless in the middle of the road...

Qin Reng held Yu Yuetong in his arms, their eyes met, and their breaths mingled.

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the carriage, as if time had stood still.

"Qin Reng..." Yu Yuetong called softly.

The driver's voice broke the tranquil atmosphere in the car. "Mr. Qin, up ahead... it seems like there's someone trying to scam us..."

Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong both looked up at the front at the same time.

There was an old woman lying on the ground, dressed in tattered clothes, groaning in pain.

"Tsk!" Qin Reng cursed under his breath, somewhat impatient.

Yu Yuetong frowned; she sensed something was amiss.

The old lady was lying on the ground in an unnatural position, and there were no signs of vehicles passing by her.

"Qin Reng, it's not Tongtong, I feel something's fishy," Yu Yuetong said. "Let's go down and take a look."

Qin Reng was somewhat reluctant, but he still got out of the car with Yu Yuetong.

The two walked to the old lady's side, and Yu Yuetong squatted down to carefully observe the old lady's condition.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Yu Yuetong asked with concern.

The old woman slowly opened her eyes, saw Yu Yuetong, and immediately cried out, "Ouch, my leg is broken! You hit me, you have to pay me!"

Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat; she knew she had encountered a scammer.

"Grandma, don't worry, let us check your injury first." Yu Yuetong tried to remain calm as she spoke, reaching out to examine the old lady's leg.

The old woman grabbed Yu Yuetong's hand and cried even louder, "Oh dear, my hand is broken too! You two young people are so heartless!"

Qin Reng watched from the side, his face growing increasingly grim. He sneered and said, "Old man, there's a limit to faking an accident. Aren't you afraid I'll sue you for this?

Hearing Qin Reng's words, the old woman was not afraid at all; instead, she became even more arrogant. "Sue me? Go ahead and sue me! I'm an old woman, what do I have to be afraid of? It's you who hit someone and tried to run away, you have no conscience!"

Yu Yuetong felt a little angry looking at the old lady's shameless behavior.

Just as she was about to retort, Qin Reng suddenly stopped her: "Whether we hit you or not, we can just call the police to come and make a judgment."

The old lady's eyes darted around, and just as she was about to run away, Yu Yuetong grabbed her wrist.

"Grandpa, don't run away! Wait for the police. Or are you really trying to scam me?"

"I... I certainly didn't try to scam you!" the old lady stammered, but in the end she gritted her teeth and decided to stick to her story.

Soon, the sound of police cars could be heard nearby.

Police arrived, and officers immediately dispersed the crowd of onlookers. A figure stepped out from the crowd: "Don't move!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a police uniform walking over.

The man walked up to the old woman and said sternly, "We've already investigated. You're suspected of staging an accident to commit fraud. Come with us!"

The old woman panicked and struggled to escape, but was caught by the police.

"Officer, I'm innocent! They really hit me!" the old woman cried out.

The police officer scoffed and said, "Whether we hit you or not, we'll find out when we get back. Take him away!"

Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng both breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the old lady being taken away by the police.

"It's finally resolved," Yu Yuetong said.

Qin Reng nodded, but suddenly his expression changed, and he clutched his stomach and bent over.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuetong asked with concern.

"My stomach... my stomach hurts..." Qin Reng said intermittently.

Seeing this, Yu Yuetong quickly helped Qin Reng into the car. "Driver, hurry to the hospital!"

The driver quickly started the car and sped towards the hospital.

Along the way, Qin Reng's face grew paler and paler, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Yu Yuetong held his hand tightly, her heart filled with worry.

Upon arriving at the hospital, after examination, the doctor told Yu Yuetong that Qin Reng had acute appendicitis and needed immediate surgery.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong panicked. "Doctor, please, you must save him!"

The doctor nodded and said, "We will do our best. Please go and complete the admission procedures first."

Yu Yuetong hurriedly went to complete the formalities, praying in her heart that Qin Reng would be safe and sound...

The surgery went smoothly, and Qin Reng was out of danger.

Yu Yuetong stayed by Qin Reng's bedside, looking at his pale face, her heart filled with self-blame.

She felt that if it weren't for her, Qin Reng wouldn't have experienced this situation due to his excessive nausea and vomiting, which was typical of pregnant women.

Qin Reng slowly opened his eyes, saw Yu Yuetong, and smiled weakly. "I'm alright."

Yu Yuetong felt a pang of guilt, lowered her eyes for a moment, and then whispered, "I'm sorry..."

Qin Reng gently stroked Yu Yuetong's cheek and said, "How can you blame yourself? It's all because I wanted to seize the inheritance that this happened."

The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
