The Five Heartless Scumbag Alphas Turned Against Each Other Because Of Me - Chapter 92

Tan Hua wore the expression of an unrepentant outlaw, and it made the system’s metaphorical eyelid twitch uncontrollably, afraid she was going to blow the whole situation up.

But unexpectedly, neither Zheng Jinyu nor Lu Huaixu got angry. They didn’t even question her. They just nodded and began making phone calls to arrange Tan Hua’s hospital transfer.

Tan Hua didn’t actually want to transfer hospitals, but it wasn’t easy to refuse outright—so she glanced over at Cheng Yuan instead.

Cheng Yuan had no idea what she was trying to convey, so she simply ignored her. Picking up her bag, she continued the sentence she hadn’t finished earlier,
“I’m going to find Ningning and Xiaochuan first.”

“My testimony might help the police close the case a little faster.”

After all, the driver had clearly been targeting her. Even if the police didn’t follow through properly, once she gathered more details, it would make any private investigation she commissioned afterward much easier.

Cheng Yuan’s intention to leave was firm. Tan Hua tried to stop her but failed, and could only watch as her slender, graceful figure disappeared from view—her back straight, posture poised.

Seeing this, Zheng Jinyu looked at Tan Hua, then at Lu Huaixu. After a brief pause, she stood up and excused herself.
“Sorry, I need to take care of something personal.”

With two people gone, the room felt noticeably emptier.

Lu Huaixu stood with one hand casually in his pocket, eyes lowered as he leaned lightly against the pristine white wall. The contrast between his dark clothing and hair against the stark backdrop gave him an aloof, restrained, almost ascetic air—mysterious and untouchable.

In that moment, Tan Hua’s heart gave a small thud.

She suddenly felt guilty.

She didn’t dare look into Lu Huaixu’s eyes—those eyes that seemed like they could see right through her. Her lips were pressed tightly together, unwilling to speak.

Her stubborn silence didn’t escape him. Lu Huaixu raised a brow slightly, then chuckled quietly and asked with a calm patience,
“Nothing you want to tell me?”

When this woman smiled, her intimidation level practically doubled. Tan Hua couldn’t help but shiver, her brain blanking out completely.

After a few moments of silent resistance, she finally lowered her head and surrendered, her voice barely audible, as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
“…Yes.”

She glanced left and right, as if that could somehow shield her from Lu Huaixu’s impending scolding.
“I… flipped your car.”

Because her voice was already so soft—and she was lying in bed a distance away—Lu Huaixu could barely make out what she said.

But to Lu Huaixu’s surprise, the moment Tan Hua heard his words, she immediately lifted her pale little face and, with a voice full of righteousness and tragic flair, shouted:

“I’m sorry! I crashed the Pagani you gave me!”

Lu Huaixu froze for a second, genuinely wondering if he’d misheard her.
“…?”

With a blank expression and a neutral tone, she asked calmly,
“How exactly did that happen?”

How? What kind of question was that? It happened the usual way—you know, something like this and that, and then… boom. Overturned.
Of course, she couldn’t say that directly to Lu Huaixu’s face.

So instead, Tan Hua obediently recounted everything, leaving out certain details.
“I just wanted to get some air,” she began, carefully hiding her real motives.
“But as soon as I drove into a busy part of the city, I noticed this sketchy-looking car. It was acting suspicious—like it was tailing someone.”

“Then I looked more closely and saw that inside the car across from me were Ning Xi and Miss Cheng…”

“So you just rammed into it?” Lu Huaixu interrupted, frowning.

Tan Hua didn’t dare deny it and nodded meekly.
“Yes. Because just as I recognized them, that suspicious car suddenly sped up—headed straight for them.”

“They were right next to a construction site. The area was fenced off, and I didn’t know whether it was solid ground or a deep pit behind the barriers. I panicked, I didn’t have time to think.”

“Saving them was the only thing that mattered.”

After explaining everything, Tan Hua smoothly tried to redirect Lu Huaixu’s attention.
“If I’m not mistaken, Miss Cheng just returned to the country today, right?” she said, suddenly indignant.
“I mean, who could be so threatened by her presence that they’d attack her the moment she got off the plane, before she even made it home?”

“Miss Cheng is so warm and kind. She was the one who called an ambulance for me and personally brought me to the hospital. I just don’t understand how anyone could be cruel enough to harm someone like her.”

Lu Huaixu glanced at the Omega with a faint lift of her lashes.
“She was so attentive to you,” she said coolly, “because she was trying to confirm whether you were the one behind the attack.”

Tan Hua: “???”
Nope. Don’t believe it. I refuse!

“President Lu, you really shouldn’t judge Miss Cheng so harshly. Even if you don’t have feelings for her anymore, even if you think you’ve moved on, it doesn’t mean you can just accuse her like that without proof.”

“Miss Cheng is so gentle, so pure—and on top of that, she’s stunning…”

Tan Hua was still passionately defending Cheng Yuan when Lu Huaixu cut her off,
“So to save her, you decided to play bumper cars—with my car?”

“…,” Tan Hua fell completely silent.

She let out a sheepish laugh, then muttered under her breath, trying to justify herself,
“Honestly… I think with a little repair work, it might still be usable…”

Lu Huaixu was clearly done trying to be gentle with her. She stared at Tan Hua unblinking for a moment—but in the end, she didn’t press the issue.
“The insurance company will handle the sports car,” she said indifferently. “If it can be repaired, it will be. If not, it’ll be scrapped. It’s not something you need to worry about.”

So, she heard him respond mildly,
“Speak up.”

Lu Huaixu wasn’t trying to scold her right away. He simply wanted her to reflect on her actions: she’d been perfectly fine staying at the Tang residence, so why had she suddenly snuck off alone? And on top of that, gotten into such a serious accident that she ended up hospitalized?

He thought she was acting like her old self again—playful, reckless, aimless—just wandering wherever her mood took her. And now, the consequences had caught up.

Lu Huaixu had intended to use this opportunity to lecture her properly, make her understand the severity of her actions, so she wouldn’t repeat them.

After all, she was still in a vulnerable period. One careless mistake and not only could she lose the baby, but her own body might suffer long-term damage.

Tan Hua nodded, then looked up at Lu Huaixu with wide, expectant eyes.

Lu Huaixu caught her gaze and fell silent for a moment. Then, at last, she said,
“Once you’ve fully recovered… go to my garage and pick another one.”

“No, no, no!” Tan Hua quickly waved her hands. “I couldn’t possibly accept another gift from you! I’ve already owed you so much.”

Lu Huaixu said nothing, merely closed her mouth and stared at her quietly. The intensity of her gaze made Tan Hua’s heart pound erratically.

In the end, Tan Hua couldn’t take it anymore. Buckling under the pressure of that silent stare, she finally confessed,
“Actually… things aren’t as tight for me financially as they used to be.”

She lifted her chin, a bit proud.
“I’ve made quite a bit of money recently, so buying a sports car isn’t that big of a deal anymore.”

She thought that would be the end of it—that Lu Huaixu would drop the subject.

But instead, Lu Huaixu’s tone shifted abruptly, her next question cutting straight to the point:
“Besides me… who else transferred you a large sum of money?”

Her voice was so calm, so certain—as if she already had all the evidence in hand.

Tan Hua: “?!”
Weren’t we just talking about cars? How did this suddenly turn into an interrogation?!

When she didn’t respond, Lu Huaixu spoke again,
“You didn’t understand? Then let me rephrase.”

A faint, unreadable smile curved her lips, but the sight of it only made Tan Hua feel even more unsettled—like something sharp was slowly tightening around her.

“If it wasn’t me, then who else did you play Cheng Yuan’s stand-in for?” Her tone was unhurried, even gentle, like she was chatting over tea.
“Zheng Jinyu? Sheng Yiheng? Or maybe… Tang Yanrou?”

Tan Hua dared not speak a word.

Even though Lu Huaixu had guessed wrong on two out of three names, her certainty made any denial feel futile.

All Tan Hua could do was force a stiff smile. She couldn’t confirm, but she didn’t dare deny either. Desperate to steer the conversation elsewhere, she blurted out,
“Did I mention I just got promoted to manager?”

“It’s all thanks to my strong performance. I’ve brought in huge profits for the company.”
She started ticking off on her fingers, feigning confidence.
“And Sheng Yiheng promised me generous commissions too. So every time she closes a big deal, I get to share the rewards…”

But before she could finish her sentence, the woman in front of her moved.

Lu Huaixu suddenly stepped forward, striding directly toward her.

Tan Hua’s heart tightened instantly. She instinctively tried to retreat, but Lu Huaixu had already reached the bedside and grabbed her firmly.

“Are you really not getting what I mean,” she asked coldly, “or are you just pretending not to understand?”

Her lips curved into the faintest of smiles.
“Do I need to spell it out for you—letter by letter?”

“N-No! No need!” Tan Hua shook her head quickly, rejecting the offer with clear panic.

Only then did Lu Huaixu release her, still smiling faintly as she stared straight into her eyes.
“Well then,” she said lightly, “can you give me the answer now?”

It was clear Lu Huaixu wouldn’t drop the matter until she got what she came for. Left with no choice, Tan Hua sighed internally, then slumped a little as she muttered,

“Only Sheng Yiheng.”

“She’s the only one I’ve had that kind of… improper relationship with.” Her tone turned serious.
“As for Zheng Jinyu and Tang Yanrou—those relationships are clean and pure.”

“Zheng Jinyu and I used to be married. That’s why we’re still tangled up in a complicated way, but I swear—”
She raised two fingers solemnly, like taking an oath.
“I absolutely never took money from her to act as Cheng Yuan’s stand-in.”

Lu Huaixu arched a brow, motioning for her to go on.

Tan Hua’s eyes darted around as she continued,
“As for Tang Yanrou…” She paused, then asked sincerely,
“Wait—does she also have feelings for Miss Cheng?”

“I’m not too sure. We met at a cocktail party. She’s kind, considerate, and extremely polite—probably the most well-mannered and upright Alpha I’ve ever met.”

But faced with Lu Huaixu’s deepening, unreadable stare—sharp as a blade—Tan Hua wisely shut her mouth before she could dig herself deeper.
“That’s everything,” she said quickly. “I’m not hiding anything else.”

Lu Huaixu didn’t look entirely satisfied. She paused, then threw out another question:

“Then… what do you think of Cheng Yuan?”

Tan Hua: “?”

“What do I think of her?” She blinked, confused for a moment. Then hesitantly replied,
“…With my eyes?”

Lu Huaixu: “…”

Tan Hua (internally): Perfectly reasonable answer if you ask me.

President Lu: I’m seriously starting to think she’s doing this on purpose.
