Chapter 586 Jumping into the River

Xie Lao Er followed Xie Mu's thoughts and asked in disbelief, "Someone jumped into the river? What did Fu Sheng mean? Was it Minmin who jumped into the river?"

"I'm not sure about that. Maybe Fu Sheng just said it casually, or maybe... Minmin hasn't been doing well lately. Divorce, being sued, and she's a sensitive person. If she gets upset..."

"...No, it's impossible. Minmin couldn't jump into the river! Fu Sheng must have said it casually. He must have lied to you." Xie Laoer said this, but he felt uneasy in his heart.

Could it be that Minmin really jumped into the river?

It shouldn’t happen. This girl has always been filial and obedient. It’s impossible for her to seek death.

But what if...

"But why did Fu Sheng lie to me?"

"I guess he just wanted us to think Minmin was dead, but in fact he arrested Minmin and forced her to record an apology video."

"Fu Shengqing and I are innocent, or does Minmin have evidence that Fu Sheng is cheating on someone else?"

"Probably not."

Minmin said last time that she had consulted a lawyer and that if she continued she would go to jail. If there was evidence, the lawyer would not say that.

"Fu Sheng has already filed a lawsuit. Normally, Minmin should reconcile with Fu Sheng. Why did Second Uncle say that Fu Sheng forced Minmin to apologize? Doesn't Minmin want to reconcile? Does she want to go to jail?"

Xie Laoer's heart was sweating, "This..."

"Second Uncle? Did Minmin tell you that she wasn't going to reconcile and was determined to continue fighting Fu Sheng even at the risk of going to jail? What's her plan?"

"You... you know, Minmin has always been a filial child. She just wanted to see if she could get more money from Fu Sheng through this matter, even if it meant going to jail..."

Xie Mu twitched his lips and smiled sarcastically. "But Fu Sheng said that it was Minmin who took the initiative to go to the company to reconcile with him. The agreement they signed was monitored throughout the entire process. Uncle, did Minmin really say that? Or did you want to force her to do this?"

Xie Laoer suddenly felt like he was pricked by a needle and begged for mercy. He exploded instantly, "How is this possible? What nonsense are you talking about? She is my daughter. How could I let her go to jail?"

"So, Uncle, what did you call Minmin about when you found out she couldn't be contacted?"

Xie Lao Er was stunned for a moment, then covered it up, "No... nothing, I just saw her apology video and wanted to show some concern for her. Your second aunt has been so worried about her these past few days that she couldn't eat or sleep."

"Care about her? Are you looking to find fault with her because she didn't continue to pester you? Second Uncle, we all see how you treat Minmin. Look, Minmin might have jumped into the river to commit suicide, but you don't care at all. People who commit suicide are usually under too much pressure. Maybe it's because of your attitude of letting her go to jail for money that she is so depressed!"

Thinking back to what he had said to Xie Min before, Xie Laoer felt even more uneasy.

Could it be that Xie Min really jumped into the river?

This damn girl, was it easy for him to raise her to this age? He just left this mess behind and jumped into the river?

Isn't it just about asking her to go to Fu Sheng to make a scene and ask for more money?

"Let me ask you, did they really sign the agreement at the company? Is there surveillance?"

"How could this be fake? With the current level of hype, if anyone finds out, Fu Sheng will be finished."

Xie Laoer felt a little disappointed.

You silly girl, you agreed nicely, but then you turned around and went to Fu Sheng to reconcile!

She wouldn't really jump into the river, would she?

Seeing that Second Uncle Xie was silent, Xie Mu sighed and continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Second Uncle, you too, how could you treat Minmin like this?! Isn't the money she gave you enough? How could you bear to let her go to jail! If this is a misunderstanding, it's okay. If Minmin really jumped into the river, it would be you who forced her to death!"

Xie Lao Er didn't admit it at all, and was still bluffing, "Xiao Mu, what are you talking about? What do you mean we forced him to death? I just wanted to get more money to make my family's life better."

"I heard Minmin's betrothal gift is over one million, and it's all in your and Second Aunt's hands. Isn't that enough? People should be content! Second Uncle, do you know what one million means? It's enough for my dad to get several kidneys!"

"...Chaochao will have to buy a house when he gets married!"

"How old is Chaochao now? Won't he be able to earn his own money when he grows up? You can't bear to see him suffer, so you're willing to let Minmin go to jail? Uncle, I feel chilled to hear you say these words, let alone Minmin. I think the one who jumped into the river was most likely her. Oh, what a sin."

Xie Lao Er was also a little confused after being bombarded by Xie Mu, "Then...what should we do now?"

"How about this, I'll go to the police station and ask if I can claim her body and take her back for burial. Poor Minmin, she's still so young."

"...Then go quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Boss Xie asked in confusion, "Minmin is alive and well, why do you say she's dead?"

"Xie Min's fate is either to leave or die. There has to be a conclusion, otherwise Second Uncle won't let it go. You know Second Uncle, he's greedy, stingy, and cowardly. He won't stop until Min Min 'dies.' Dad, when Min Min is buried, you must scold Second Uncle in front of everyone and act like it's real."

"Don't think too far ahead. How are you going to get a body? Where are you going to get one?"

"Manager Fu should have a solution. Otherwise, we can just take a jar of ashes and say it was cremated."

Xie Mu relayed the matter to Fu Sheng and asked him for help.

As soon as he heard Xie Mu's request, Fu Sheng understood what she meant.

The next morning, Fu Sheng called and told Xie Mu that the body had been found and asked her to meet him at the funeral home.

Boss Xie was discharged from the hospital and was resting at home. Xie Mu said goodbye to him and left.

From a distance, she saw Fu Sheng waiting for her in the corridor. He was very tall and looked thin, but his shoulders and arms were full of muscles and he was very strong.

Xie Mu clenched his fists, suppressed the fear in his heart, and stepped forward, "Manager Fu."

Fu Sheng turned around and saw her, nodded, and led the way, "Let's go."

The funeral home was deserted, and the occasional passers-by looked depressed.

According to Fu Sheng, it was a similar corpse. The girl fell into the water and died. The body had become giant and her face was difficult to recognize.

The undertaker at the funeral home had dressed her in Xie Min's clothes and jewelry, and had taken Xie Min's photo and tidied her appearance.

Fu Sheng also prepared a water-soaked handbag, which contained a processed fake ID card and a broken mobile phone, making it look very real.

Xie Mu took it and said, "Thank you, Manager Fu, you've prepared everything."

"Your idea is not bad," Fu Sheng took a step back and leaned against the wall. "When will it be shipped back?"

"Looking at my dad's condition, it should be tomorrow."

"Are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together." Fu Sheng looked around and said, "I've asked someone to book a private room."

"Okay." Xie Mu nodded.

What needs to be faced must be faced.
