Chapter 84 Ruthless Just Like Her Mother

"How could you just stand by and watch someone die?" The intern's voice was so shrill it was almost split in two.

The police officer taking the statement paused, then stepped on the intern's foot again.

Yan Songyu had no intention of giving this clueless intern any more face. "Please, you police officer with an overflowing sense of justice, I'm all alone in the middle of nowhere, facing a dozen or so big men. How am I supposed to save them? It's normal for me to be scared and try to protect myself. I don't think I've done anything wrong."

“But, but he’s just a 10-year-old child. No one with a conscience would stand idly by, and you clearly brought bodyguards.”

"Cough, cough cough cough~" The police officer taking the statement coughed and stomped his feet, but the intern still finished speaking. The officer looked up at the sky speechlessly. Why did they let this person with connections take the lead? Help!

Yan Songyu retorted, "Who said I brought bodyguards? Did you see them? So what if he's 10? Is his life precious, but mine isn't? What law says I have to sacrifice myself for a stranger's child? Are police officers starting to engage in moral blackmail these days?"

The intern was speechless, her face flushed as she looked at Yan Songyu, "But..."

"Stop!" Yan Songyu didn't want to argue with a fool. "This righteous police officer is a good public servant. Although I am selfish, I admire your kindness, righteousness and enthusiasm. If you were to sacrifice yourself one day, I would definitely present you with a banner that says 'Selfless and Dedicated to Others'."

The intern had nothing to say, and the subsequent questioning was led by the police officers taking statements. Yan Songyu recounted the events of yesterday in a selective manner, which was basically consistent with the police investigation results.

After seeing the police off, Yan Songyu decided to go to the hospital to see Song Lifan and also to ask President Song for some compensation for emotional distress. Otherwise, how could she face Song Lifan for making false accusations?

So Yan Songyu took some fruit and flowers to the hospital, then got a patent from the Song Group at half price and left happily.

Taking advantage of her rebirth, she made moves in some emerging fields and avoided some of the pitfalls of her previous life. Ruixin has reached a new level under Yan Songyu's leadership.

Ruixin and Huasheng are collaborating on a new energy project that requires this technology, and her trip saved her a lot of costs.

Song Lifan, lying in his hospital bed, was woken up by his father's slap. "You dare to mess with Yan Songyu? Do you want to get me killed? Didn't I tell you that the Yan, Fu, Jiang, and Xu families in Haishi are not to be trifled with?"

Song Lifan's face stung with pain, and the blankness in his eyes turned into hatred when he heard the name Yan Songyu. It was Yan Songyu again!

Song Lifan's stepmother feigned concern, saying, "Old Song, Lifan is still young and doesn't understand things. Don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry, now that President Yan has taken the patent, he probably won't target the Song family anymore. Teach the child slowly, don't get upset."

The mention of the patent caused Song's father's heart to bleed. If it weren't for this wretched child, how could he have so easily sold that patent for such a low price? And to the very rival that had been suppressing the Song family?

Huasheng had already discussed this patent, but he had been holding back for so long just to save face. He wanted to use this opportunity to make peace with Ruixin, but this wretched thing ruined everything.

Moreover, he only just learned that the Song family had been suppressed by Ruixin for so many years because this brat Song Lifan had offended someone. He deserved to die!

Song's father slapped Song Lifan again.

How did you get this?

Feng Yu was quite surprised to see the authorization letter in Yan Songyu's hand. Considering the relationship between Ruixin and Song's, he was even planning to go abroad to discuss the relevant patents. He never expected that Yan Songyu would buy Song's patents at a bargain price.

Yan Songyu recounted the incident, and Feng Yucai said, "Call me next time."

"Can."

Hearing a soft laugh beside her, Yan Songyu pushed Feng Yu's large head away. "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm secretly delighted. Being a kept man is so sweet. I feel so lucky."

Buying a patent at this price is practically the same as getting it for free.

Yan Songyu said smugly, "If you follow me, I'll have meat to eat and you'll have soup to drink."

"Thank you, sister."

Yan Songyu laughed and cursed, "Shameless!"

He was a full four years older than her.

Feng Yu scoffed, "What's the use of having a sense of shame if you don't have a girlfriend or can't be a kept man?"

Zhou Mu lived her summer vacation in an orderly manner, washing dishes, studying, reading, and doing housework in the kitchen of a small restaurant. She thought she would feel lost and helpless without her mother, but the peaceful days made her feel at ease, so at ease that it felt unreal.

Zhou Chenglong had been spending less and less time at home lately. It wasn't until just before the start of the school term that Zhou Mu learned that Zhou Chenglong had gotten involved with a widow who lived just two alleys away from her house.

Zhou Mu was happy to see this happen; she had long since grown tired of serving Zhou Chenglong.

After the start of the school year, Zhou Mu's life at school became even more difficult because someone spread the word at the school that her mother was in jail.

Every time her classmates saw her, they would avoid her like the plague, and even some teachers looked at her with strange eyes.

She was used to being isolated and always remained unmoved by what others said, but this time...

"I heard her mother was a former convict..."

"Like father, like son; I told you long ago she was no good."

"Shh, aren't you afraid of getting a warning from Qu Chaoyue?"

"How poor is their family? She collects scraps every day, and her mother actually dared to sell someone else's kidney! It's so vicious. Why didn't she sell her own?"

"I heard that the person who was scammed was her uncle. How could her mother do that? She must be heartless!"

"We need to stay away from her; she's definitely as ruthless as her mother..."

...

Zhou Mu paused, looking at the girl who had spoken. Startled, she quickly hid behind the crowd. "It's not like I'm the only one talking, why are you looking at me?"

Zhou Mu revealed a wicked and unrestrained smile, looking a bit crazy. "I just want to tell you that you're right. I am indeed as ruthless as my mother, and I'm also crazy."

She pinpointed the person who had spoken, "So you, you, all of you... you all need to be careful!"

The crowd scattered in all directions, running faster than rabbits. Zhou Mu returned to his expressionless state and slowly made his way back to his classroom.

Her words had probably spread far and wide; none of these cowardly bullies dared to meet her gaze, and they all lowered their heads, pretending not to see her.

Zhou Mu glanced at his deskmate huddled in the corner, then took out his book and began to preview the material.

The person who sat next to her was naturally the target of everyone's ostracism. However, her deskmate had previously bullied her by playing dirty tricks to appease those people. After hearing those words, she was probably scared now. Zhou Mu saw her shoulders trembling.

After this warning, Zhou Mu thought she could have some peace and quiet for a while, but she didn't expect that less than a week after she threatened those people, the girl who was talking to her was pushed downstairs and broke her leg. She became the prime suspect!
