Chapter 98 The Ending of the Previous Life (9)

“Ah Yue, you pushed Yan Songyu, you can’t escape now, but as long as you don’t implicate me, it’s okay. I’ll find someone to get you a mental illness diagnosis certificate. At most, you’ll be sent to a mental hospital, and I’ll pull some strings later, and you’ll be out soon.”

...

Jiang Chengli's voice suddenly woke Yan Songyu, who was crouching in the corner in a daze. She looked up and saw Yan Mu silently crying while looking at the computer, her already bitten arm bitten again.

"Mumu? She doesn't know the truth yet. You're placing your hopes on her, but who knows if she can accept you? Mumu and Yan Songyu have the best relationship, even better than mine."

...

What happened? Didn't Jiang Chengli already delete the video?

Without thinking twice, Yan Songyu rushed to Yan Mu's side. The computer screen displayed the scene from Jiang Chengli's office, and even more...

"You were caught cheating on me? So you conspired with your lover to kill my mother?"

...

"I am your biological mother..."

...

"For the sake of your adoptive mother, are you going to send your biological parents to jail?"

...

"Your mother and I grew up together, we were childhood sweethearts..."

...

"It's because she discovered the truth... I don't want to die, so only she can die..."

...

"Don't worry, I didn't leave any evidence against me."

...

"Mumu, don't doubt your parents' love for you."

Yan Mu watched the video over and over again, as if in self-torture. The high-definition camera captured the ugly faces of Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue with exceptional clarity.

Yan Songyu looked at Yan Mu in surprise; it seemed she... had misunderstood her...

After a long while, Yan Mu dialed Chen Xu's number.

"Hello, Director Chen, I've found evidence of my mother's murder and identified the killer."

Yan Songyu was both surprised and delighted. So... so Yan Mu really did choose her. There was still a sliver of solace in her ridiculous and tragic life.

She died, and Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue didn't win either. They were sent to prison by their own daughter. They had spent their lives scheming and plotting, but their efforts were in vain.

Haha~

After hanging up the phone, Yan Mu slumped into her chair, pulling her feet up and curling up into a ball, as if she had returned to the womb, murmuring, "Mom..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Songyu reached out to touch her head, but then heard her say, "I'm sorry..."

Yan Songyu didn't say sorry, but she had already forgiven Yan Mu in her heart.

Actually, she didn't do anything wrong, but she was a beneficiary of the situation and hurt Feifei in the emotional entanglement.

Ring ring—

The ringing of the phone interrupted Yan Mu's sadness. She wiped away her tears, looked at the caller ID, cleared her throat, and tried to make her voice sound normal.

"Hey, Grandpa."

...

"Really? That's great!"

...

"I still have some work to finish, so you should get some rest first. I'll come see you when I get home tonight."

...

"Okay, sure."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Yan Mu lost her energy again. The immense mental pressure and deep guilt made her feel suffocated.

"Mom, what should I do?" Yan Mu murmured. "Grandpa is happy that the police have found crucial evidence, but how am I supposed to tell him about this?"

Yan Songyu wanted to tell Yan Binghua not to tell him, just as Yan Mu had instructed Chen Xu on the phone earlier. He shouldn't tell him the truth, but when Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue were sentenced, he would definitely be in court, and Yan Mu's background couldn't be kept secret.

Behind the grief of losing her daughter lies such a huge conspiracy: the granddaughter she had loved for over twenty years was the child of her enemy, and her own granddaughter had long since perished at sea. How could an elderly woman in her seventies bear such a blow?

After Yan Mu got home that night and coaxed Yan Binghua to take his medicine and fall asleep, he called Yan Binghua's personal doctor.

"How is my grandfather's health? If... if he suffers another shock, what would be the worst possible outcome?"

...

Yan Songyu didn't hear what was said on the other end, but looking at Yan Mu's drooping hand, she knew it wasn't good news.

Yan Mu hadn't slept all night; her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked so disheveled that she was nothing like the proud, elegant, swan-like girl she once was.

As dawn broke, Yan Mu dialed Feng Yu's number.

Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue were arrested at their villa in the suburbs, and Yan Mu was present.

With his hands cuffed, Jiang Chengli clung to the car window and yelled at Yan Mu, "Yan Mu, I misjudged you. Is Yan Songyu more important to you than the huge Ruixin Group?"

"You'll regret it if you abandon your own parents who always think of you for Yan Songyu's sake. You'll definitely regret it!"

“Once Yan Binghua finds out the truth, you will have nothing left. You will lose everything. Family and interests will all leave you. You will become a pitiful wretch who has nothing and is despised by everyone! I’m waiting to see your end.”

Yan Mu coldly watched him go crazy and said calmly, "What happens to me is none of your business. Since I called the police, I don't care about inheritance rights. I never had the right to inherit anyway, did I?"

A tear rolled down her cheek. "I've usurped Fei Fei's life for so many years, robbed her of her own destiny, caused her to die of grief, and killed my mother. Whatever the consequences, I deserve them. And now... it's time for you to atone!"

Surprisingly, Zhou Yue remained calm throughout her arrest. Unlike Jiang Chengli, she did not resist or struggle, nor did she curse Yan Mu viciously. She seemed to accept her fate calmly, only giving Yan Mu a deep look as she got into the car.
