Chapter 114 Are you on good terms with your ex-wife?

But the person who was pulled out of the water was probably dying because he had been in the deep sea for too long.

Shao Muyan's gaze darkened. "We can't let him die."

Song Cheng and the rescue team reacted quickly, immediately lifting the person onto the ambulance. Xiang Jingheng watched as several bodyguards in black quickly followed, and his heart skipped a beat.

What happened tonight is really going to blow up.

Amid the chaos, a pair of eyes coldly watched everything from the shadows, and the voice changer in his hand was thrown into the sea.

She walked with a slight limp.

—

Instead of staying on the deck in the cold wind, the group went to the police station.

Yu Yan reported the case, saying that someone was deliberately trying to harm her.

She recounted the events in a clear and organized manner, and the police officer examined the injuries on her legs and took notes on each one.

Yu Yan then looked in Jing Heng's direction, "He also wants to file a police report."

The police officer looked up at Xiang Jingheng.

Xiang Jingheng was stunned. What case did he report?

"Aren't you going to sue me?" Yu Yan asked.

Xiang Jingheng realized what Yu Yan meant, and his face darkened for a moment.

The officer was confused. "What do you mean? What is he accusing you of?"

Yu Yan turned back and said, "My son says I pushed him into the water. My ex-husband is accusing me of killing my own son."

A single, understated sentence silenced the entire police station.

Xiang Jingheng suddenly looked at Yu Yan. Had she gone mad?

To actually pin such a huge crime on oneself, if this gets out, wouldn't it cause an uproar!

Shao Muyan placed his hand on Yu Yan's shoulder, his hand strong, but his eyes were completely black, and he pressed his thumb heavily against his index finger.

Finally, his gaze fell on Xiang Jingheng. "Why are you pretending to be surprised? Isn't this the result you wanted?"

Xiang Jingheng's gaze suddenly jolted.

Looking at Yu Yan and Shao Muyan's increasingly cold faces, he felt for the first time that they were a perfect match, they were both crazy!

...

Yu Yan was truly heartbroken.

Her heart was so cold it could barely beat, and a stone lodged in her throat. After barely finishing her statement, she didn't want to say another word.

Shao Muyan could tell how bad she was feeling, so he stayed by her side the whole time, never leaving her side.

Xiang Jingheng didn't even have a chance to get close to Yu Yan and talk to her; Shao Muyan's eyes were so fierce they looked like they wanted to kill someone.

Once in the interrogation room, Mei Nan became quite articulate.

Her testimony was similar to Yu Yan's account. When Xiang Chu had the accident, she and Yu Yan were chatting on the deck. Upon hearing the news of the child falling into the water, she jumped in almost at the same time.

The officer asked, "Are you a good swimmer?"

Mei Nan shook her head: "Not very good, I only know the simplest swimming strokes."

Police officer: "It's understandable that Yu Yan jumped into the water to save the child; that was her own child, and it was a mother's instinct. Why did you jump in?"

Mei Nan: "..."

Not hearing Mei Nan speak, the police officer looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on her.

Mei Nan seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then came to her senses. "Oh, Xiang Chu... is my boss's son, someone I've watched grow up. I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just jumped down with him, thinking it would be good to help."

One minute she says she hadn't thought that much about it, the next she says she thought it would be good to help.

Both officers glanced at Mei Nan, and one asked, "Really?"

Mei Nan nodded.

The officer then asked, "Why would your boss believe that his ex-wife pushed their son into the water? Did he and his ex-wife have a bad relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Nan gave a faint smirk, "If they had a good relationship, would they still get a divorce?"

...That's true.

"What about Yu Yan and the child?"

Police officer: "The child is her biological son. Why would Xiang Chu think his mother wants to harm him? Is there a bad relationship between them?"

Mei Nan: "I'm not too sure. As far as I know, it's so-so."

Xiang Jingheng was in another recording room.

Police officer: "What is your relationship with Yu Yan?"

Xiang Jingheng: "She is my ex-wife."

Police officer: "How long have you been married, and how long have you been divorced?"

Xiang Jingheng: "Married for three years, divorced for three years."

Officer: "How's the relationship?"

Xiang Jingheng frowned. "Is this a relationship advice program?"

Please answer our questions.

Xiang Jingheng said coldly, "Our marriage was a business arrangement, a shotgun wedding. Our relationship... was pretty good at first, but then she suddenly wanted a divorce and went abroad. I wanted to get back together with her, but she wouldn't accept it."

Both officers were stunned; there was a lot of information in those words.

"Since you're already divorced, why do you want to get back together? Is it because of the children, or because you still love her?"

Xiang Jingheng frowned deeply, his body stiffening as if he had been suddenly awakened.

If he loves Yu Yan, why would he suspect that she wants to push Chu into the water?

Why would someone do that on the deck?

He almost hit her...

If Shao Muyan hadn't stopped him in time, who knows what he would have done? If it had really come to that, nothing could have been salvaged.

He was still a little angry with Yu Yan for making such a big fuss, since he hadn't actually accused her of being a murderer.

But now that he belatedly realizes it, Yu Yan is probably truly heartbroken.

Xiang Jingheng suddenly stood up and strode out.

"Mr. Xiang, you haven't finished asking your question yet, hey—"

Xiang Jingheng rushed out without a care in the world, and bumped right into Mei Nan. Mei Nan called out "Young Master", but Xiang Jingheng didn't even look at her, searching for Yu Yan's shadow.

"Yu Yan! Where is Yu Yan?"

He searched for Yu Yan in the hall like a headless fly, but he couldn't find her anywhere he looked.

It wasn't until a police officer said that Yu Yan had fainted and was taken away by an ambulance that the situation was brought under control.

Xiang Jingheng's heart skipped a beat.

He seemed to feel something disappearing from his body, something he could no longer grasp...

—

Yu Yan's wound became infected, and the prolonged drowning caused fluid buildup in her lungs, causing her to faint while sitting in a chair.

Fortunately, Shao Muyan was nearby and caught her in time.

"The Xiang family father and son are really asking for Yu Yan's life."

Cheng Yun was suffering from severe morning sickness. She had just come out of the emergency room when she saw Yu Yan and Shao Muyan. She quickly pulled her husband along and followed them. After hearing the whole story, she was heartbroken and burst into tears.

"Yu Yan is just too soft-hearted and can't let go of her child. But Xiang Chu is such a hurtful child. What mother can bear her child pointing their finger at her and calling her a murderer?"

Cheng Yun was only four months pregnant when she realized how difficult childbirth was and began to understand why Yu Yan couldn't let go of her child.

That was flesh that had been forcibly cut out of the body after ten months of pregnancy and childbirth.

The scar on her stomach is still there, but her own son has already started stabbing her.

Her heart is probably already riddled with holes.

Looking at Yu Yan's pale and thin face lying on the hospital bed, Shao Muyan began to deeply reflect on himself.

It was his fault.

He shouldn't have taken Yu Yan to that annual meeting, and he shouldn't have failed to keep a close eye on her, causing her to fall into such a painful situation.

He shouldn't have been so lenient with Xiang Jingheng.
