Chapter 324 Perhaps only a little maternal love remains

Zhao Ming also noticed that when Kong Liang mentioned Bai Yujin, a hint of morbid infatuation would uncontrollably flash in his eyes.

"You love her," Zhao Ming said softly, "so much so that you're willing to take the blame for her. But you know what? She doesn't care about you at all."

"You're talking nonsense!" Kong Liang stood up suddenly, and his handcuffs rattled.

"Then why..." Zhao Ming slowly held up a photo, "why would she imprison Lin Zhengru in the laboratory?"

In the photo, Bai Yujin was detained in a detention center, holding an old pocket watch in his hand, with a satisfied look as if he had obtained a rare treasure - inside the pocket watch was a picture of Lin Zhengru when he was young.

Kong Liang stared at the photo, and the muscles on his face began to twitch.

After a long time, he slowly sat back in his chair, his voice hoarse: "I thought she loved her eldest son Lu Heng... I didn't expect... she still couldn't let go."

When these words came out, Meng Anran's heart trembled.

She knew the answer to why Kong Liang chose to have plastic surgery to look like Lu Heng.

He thought Bai Yujin loved her eldest son Lu Heng, and he thought that if he was a little more like Lu Heng, he could at least be closer to her.

But the person hidden in the deepest part of her heart, the person she hates and loves to the extreme, is always Lin Zhengru.

But why does Kong Liang feel that Bai Yujin cares about Lu Heng?

She is obviously a crazy woman who can use her own son for experiments. Whether it is Lu Yi or Lu Heng, in her heart, they may just be chess pieces that can be used from beginning to end.

The vibration of her cell phone brought Meng Anran back to her senses. She walked out of the monitoring room and answered the call.

"Hey, bro."

"Where?" Meng Yushu asked directly. Although his voice was still soft, Meng Anran could also hear that he was a little unhappy.

She glanced at the wall clock and saw the hour hand approaching the number "10".

"I'm at the police station..." She hesitated and continued, "There's a case that I need to cooperate with the police investigation."

Meng Yushu was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and his voice suddenly became serious: "An Ran, are you involved in the Lu family's affairs again?"

He remembered that the last time Meng Anran's whereabouts were unknown, it was because he went to check on Duan Xi.

Meng Anran subconsciously clenched her phone tightly: "Brother, this matter is very important..."

"Is it so important that we can even skip the New Year's Day reunion dinner?" Meng Yushu interrupted her, a rare occurrence. "My parents haven't even touched their chopsticks yet."

Meng Anran's heart tightened. Through the window in the corridor, she saw snowflakes floating outside, flying like cotton wool under the street lights.

"Brother, some storms won't go unscathed just because I stay out of the way. From the very beginning, I've been in this chess game. I have to go all the way to the final move to determine the winner, and only then can this battle come to an end."

Meng Yushu's eyes trembled, and her heart seemed to be squeezed by a big hand. "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"No." Meng Anran retracted her gaze from the window, lowered her eyes and smiled, her voice sounding particularly relaxed: "Tell mom and dad not to wait for me for dinner. I'll bring some desserts back from Yandu later."

…

Dream Villa.

Meng Yushu put down his phone, his knuckles turning slightly white. He stood on the porch in the back garden, watching the slowly falling snowflakes, as if the ice flakes were landing on his heart.

It seems he was wrong.

He feels too good about himself.

He thought that Anran accepted the Meng family and integrated into this family, which meant that she took home as the center just like them. No matter where they went, "home" was their starting point and their final destination.

But that is not the case.

An Ran has been screening people who can stay with her. In her cognition, she is an individual first, and then chooses which group to join.

She joined the Dream family as an individual and recognized these family members, which simply meant that she was willing to allow these members to appear in her life.

Rather than letting her integrate into the life of this group.

So when she was at Meng's house, she could eat, chat happily and spend warm family time.

When encountering things related to the Lu family, she would go to another group as an individual. No matter how big or small the difficulties she faced, she would not share the information with the Meng family group.

The Meng family and the Lu family may not have any intersection, although they are both related to her.

This is probably why outsiders praise her for being "versatile".

Meng Yushu sighed melancholy. The cold wind blowing into his nostrils made it impossible for him to think clearly.

He wanted to know where his sister had been, who she had met, and what she had experienced during the time when she was not busy with her work at Ruiming Group.

She is worried about whether she will be in danger while cooperating with the police in the investigation, and whether she will be too anxious to sleep.

Unfortunately, his sister would not share with him. Even if he asked her, she would just say "It's okay".

The sound of the glass door sliding open was heard, and Su Wanman poked her head out, looking at her son worriedly: "Yushu, it's so cold outside, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

Seeing that he looked unhappy, she asked cautiously, "An Ran...isn't coming back? Is the situation at the hotel very difficult?"

"It's almost done." Meng Yushu was very good at acting and quickly smiled. "She told us to eat first. She'll just eat something at the hotel and bring us dessert later."

"Don't lie to me, is she really okay?" Su Wanman didn't quite believe it. Seeing Meng Yushu standing here in the cold wind for such a long time after making the call, she didn't look like she was okay.

"It's really okay." Meng Yushu smiled gently and comforted him, "Don't you know how capable An Ran is? How could she be so difficult?"

Having said that, Su Wanman thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

The youngest daughter is independent, sober, rational, capable, and smart. There is nothing she can't handle.

"Then we won't wait any longer. Let's eat." She pulled her son into the house and frowned. "Your hands are cold. Drink a bowl of soup to warm yourself up. It would be troublesome if you caught a cold."

"Yeah." Meng Yushu responded obediently, without revealing a single bit of his inner loneliness, which he hid tightly.

…

At the police station, Meng Anran hung up the phone and turned to walk towards the monitoring room.

It happened that Zhao Ming came out of the interrogation room with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Kong Liang has given in." He glanced at his colleague who was in charge of the interrogation and signaled him to organize the transcript first.

Then he turned his gaze back to Meng Anran. "I've got the answer you wanted. Bai Yujin has always worn the jade gourd necklace that Lu Heng gave her when she was twelve years old. And in all these years, Bai Yujin has never considered attacking Lu Heng. Perhaps it's because she only has a little bit of maternal love left."

Meng Anran sneered, feeling it was incredibly ironic: "Motherly love? What about Lu Yi? Isn't Lu Yi her biological son?"

The smile on Zhao Ming's face faded a little. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. After a long while, he whispered, "Lu Heng's birth date is exactly the day when Bai Yujin and Lin Zhengru had sex."

Meng Anran's eyes trembled, and for some reason her nose felt a little sour. She smiled speechlessly: "Just for her damn worthless love, she sacrificed her own son and so many innocent people... How ridiculous!"

Zhao Ming patted her shoulder, as if to comfort her. "Now the chain of evidence is complete. The rest is left to the police and the court. You should relax a little."
