Can’t Tell

After a while, Song Ning stood before the master bedroom’s desk, frowning.

“Ping Chengcheng, how come she isn’t back yet?”

With a troubled heart, she returned to the bed and sat down.

“Why did I have to promise her? And why, on that night…”

“Can it really be as Zheng Zhiyi said?”

She had sought out Zheng Zhiyi today, but Zheng Zhiyi, for some reason, seemed very afraid to speak with her. The moment Song Ning approached her, she would back away.

Zheng Zhiyi had clearly been threatened by Ping Chengcheng, which was why Zheng Zhiyi had apologized to her yesterday. And everything the girl had done and said…

Was it all fake?

Sitting on the bed, her right hand gripped the bedsheet tightly.

“Why did I have to lie to her? Is she not worthy of my trust? Ping Chengcheng?”

She had the urge to question the girl, but in the end, she shook her head.

There’s no need… Since Ping Chengcheng doesn’t want to talk, then let it be.

The girl had saved her life, so even if she really wanted to do something to her…

Song Ning couldn’t find the words.

Just when did she start hiding things? Could it be that she was like this from the very beginning?

Right…

Song Ning suddenly thought of a guy she had almost forgotten.

Ping Yan!

Her beautiful eyes widened in an instant.

At that time, Ping Yan had insisted that there was a problem with the girl, but she hadn’t believed him!

If the girl had been lying from the very beginning, then wouldn’t that mean the things Ping Yan said were true!

Ping Yan discovered that there was a problem with Ping Chengcheng, and then he spoke out about it.

But at that time, no one believed him, and they even thought he was…

Targeting the girl…

Including how the girl was captured and threatened, and then the special infected she ran into…

‘Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng also has a problem! Is he not in cahoots with Ping Chengcheng to deceive her?’

Wu Sheng was cooperating with Ping Chengcheng’s act, and in the end, Ping Yan became a villain who deserved to die in her eyes.

In the end, Song Ning personally killed Ping Yan.

‘What is their motive?’ Song Ning hadn’t figured it out yet.

However… she felt that her analysis was very likely true!

So… it was she who wronged Ping Yan, and personally killed Ping Yan.

Thinking of this, Song Ning’s breath hitched slightly.

‘Ping Chengcheng… why on earth did you do these things? Why?’

Was it just for fun? Or was it for some other reason? But why did she have to toy with her own life…

Her heart was in turmoil. Ping Yan was her childhood sweetheart before the apocalypse.

Although she had no romantic feelings for Ping Yan, their friendship from childhood to adulthood was not fake.

Even though for three months in this apocalypse, Ping Yan had been dragging her down, she had never thought of abandoning him.

But in the end… Ping Yan was misunderstood by her and died at her own hands!

Song Ning was in a daze. What on earth should she do?

She couldn’t! She had to find out why Ping Chengcheng did this!

Song Ning’s body tensed up slightly. She opened the door to her bedroom and went downstairs. Wu Sheng happened to be in the living room.

“Sister Song, what’s wrong?” Wu Sheng stood up straight, wiping the spear in his hand.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and saw Song Ning.

“It’s nothing,” Song Ning took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down a little.

“I have a question for you,” she said.

“What is it, Sister Song?” Wu Sheng asked strangely, putting down the clean submachine gun he was holding onto the table, preparing to disassemble and inspect it carefully.

“You and Ping Chengcheng, have you been hiding something from me all this time?”

Wu Sheng’s heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged.

His voice was flat, just like his usual self, “Sister Song, what are you thinking? How could we possibly be hiding something from you?”

Song Ning stared at Wu Sheng. At this moment, Wu Sheng yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes, “Don’t say it. If it weren’t for Sister Chengcheng, I can’t imagine living my life like I am now.”

‘Did Song Ning discover something?’ Wu Sheng was a little flustered.

“Have you guys really been hiding something from me?” Song Ning asked again.

Wu Sheng shook his head, “Sister Song, what happened?”

Song Ning sneered, “Don’t hide it anymore, I know everything.”

“Ping Chengcheng, she is a variant, and before that, Ping Yan…”

“You and Ping Chengcheng acted for me, to guide me into killing him!”

?

A great wave of shock and horror washed over Wu Sheng’s heart.

‘How does Song Ning know these things!?’

“Sister Song, what are you talking about!”

“Sister Chengcheng, how could she be a variant!”

“She… she swore before, she said that if she were a variant, she would never be with you again!”

Wu Sheng looked at Song Ning with a baffled expression, which made Song Ning even more suspicious.

He had suspected that Ping Chengcheng’s abnormality that night was not a dream.

‘Fine, even if she’s not a variant!’

“What about that Ping Yan matter then?”

Wu Sheng paused for a moment, “Ping Yan? What do you want me to say?”

“Didn’t I tell you before? At that time, a special infected was passing by. This guy got scared, opened the door, and attracted it. In the end, it was chased away by Sister Chengcheng with a gun.”

Song Ning’s eyes narrowed, “You’re lying.”

“I already know what happened, Ping Chengcheng told me the truth herself.”

Wu Sheng jumped in fright. “How is that possible?”

He quickly realized that this was Song Ning testing him. “What do you mean?”

“We didn’t hide anything from you. How could Sister Chengcheng tell you the truth? She obviously didn’t do anything?”

Song Ning stared at Wu Sheng silently. The two remained in a deadlock.

Song Ning felt that she knew something, but Wu Sheng’s face was so difficult to read that even Song Ning couldn’t see through him.

‘Heh… his acting is really good.’

Wu Sheng looked very angry and scratched his head, stepping forward, “Hey! Sister Song, even if you and Sister Chengcheng have a good relationship… but how can you suspect Sister Chengcheng like this! And I didn’t act out any drama!”

“You don’t need to continue acting.”

“Yesterday evening, I already confirmed it. Chengcheng is a variant.”

“So Ping Yan was right when he said Chengcheng had a problem.”

“You can go. I know you were also threatened by Chengcheng, just like that Zheng Zhiyi.”

“I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Wu Sheng opened his mouth, feeling a bit of a headache. ‘Looks like Ping Chengcheng has a problem on her side, revealing a flaw.’

This… he was powerless to turn things around. ‘What should I do? Go out and report it?’

“Sister Song… what on earth is wrong with you today…”

He let out a disappointed and heavy sigh, then watched as she quickly assembled the gun in her hand and walked out of the villa’s entrance.

As he opened the door, a cold wind rushed into the living room.

Song Ning let out a somewhat bleak laugh.

So, this was a love built on deception.

From the very beginning, Ping Chengcheng had been deceiving her?

She couldn’t tell…

Ping Chengcheng’s feelings for her, were they real or fake?
