Chapter 250 The Truth Brings Freedom
Kenai snatched the phone in shock, his eyes quickly scanning the electronic document, and finally his pupils trembled suddenly.
Lu Yi is among them?
"Lin Rencheng was assassinated for this information and was shot in the abdomen. He is now recuperating in Country A." Meng Anran's voice was light, but revealed a kind of sadness.
Kenai turned off the screen and returned the phone. "What are your plans for the next step?"
The question was about the attitude towards Lu Yi. Meng Anran understood what he meant and fell into silence for a long time.
It is now confirmed that Lu Yi became a complete madman because of the effects of drugs. The real guilty person is Bai Yujin, and he is just a victim.
But it is undeniable that the damage Meng Anran suffered at the hands of Lu Yi is irreversible.
Should she help Lu Yi?
Not clear.
"We don't have enough evidence to bring down Bai Yujin." Meng Anran suddenly changed the subject. "This record doesn't contain any information about Bai Yujin. Reporting it to the police will probably only lead to Bai Yuanshan, the former head of Lu Pharmaceuticals."
Konai stared at her quietly for several seconds, with a dark emotion in his eyes, as if he regretted her escape.
It's not hard to understand. Meng Anran almost lost her life at Lu Yi's hands many times. How could it be so easy for her to let go of all the hatred and help him?
She's not the Virgin Mary, and Meng Anran's emotions are inherently more indifferent than others, so it will take her longer to convince herself.
He continued the topic she had brought up, "We're in the open right now, while Bai Yujin is in the dark. We can only defend, not attack. If we can find more evidence that proves Bai Yujin is connected to Lu's Pharmaceuticals, we might be able to turn defense into offense."
At this moment, Meng Anran's phone suddenly vibrated. The words "Lu Heng" flashed on the screen.
She exchanged a glance with Kenai and pressed the answer button. "What's up?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Heng's voice was unusually tense: "Lu Yi is missing."
Meng Anran frowned, "What do you mean?"
"His health has improved over the past few days, and we were planning to transfer him from the hospital to a mental institution, but today we discovered he's disappeared." Lu Heng said in a low voice, "You'd better be careful. He's most likely looking for you."
Meng Anran's fingers unconsciously tightened. "Mental hospital? Are you planning to prove to the outside world that he's a mental patient?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Lu Heng asked meaningfully, "Are you starting to care about him?"
Meng Anran's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, as if she was out of the matter. "He is your biological brother after all. I just didn't expect you to be so cruel."
Lu Heng chuckled, "If possible, I'd even like to send you over there too."
"Aren't you the one who should go to a mental hospital for treatment?" Meng Anran retorted rudely and then hung up the phone.
She relayed the situation to Kenai, whose expression instantly grew serious: "Given Lu Yi's current physical condition, it's impossible for him to escape the guards' guards and leave the hospital alone."
"Do you suspect that someone took him away? Or helped him escape?" Meng Anran's voice was cold. If there was anyone who wanted to take Lu Yi away, it would probably be Bai Yujin.
Given Lu Yi's physical condition and emotional instability, there are only two possibilities for Bai Yujin to take him away - to continue to control him, or... to silence him.
Kenai took a deep breath, his mind struggling. After a while, he finally uttered, "This muddy water is deeper than we imagined. The deeper we swim, the darker it gets. Anran, do you want to continue investigating?"
Although he wanted to dig up the truth and seek justice for his sister, his sister had been dead for seven years, and he was even more afraid that the people around him would also be caught in the quagmire.
Lin Rencheng is a good example.
He was afraid that if he continued to investigate, Meng Anran would also be in danger.
"Of course." Meng Anran gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, her eyes firmly meeting his. "The truth brings freedom."
…
Meng Anran had just finished a serious conversation with Kenai when her phone vibrated again.
She frowned and looked at the screen, and found that it was a message from Ming Jing: [Pick one of three proposal venues, can you give me some suggestions?]
Before she could reply, three carefully crafted 3D renderings popped up one after another:
Plan 1 - A yacht dinner with the words "Marry Me" spelled out with LED lights on the deck.
Option 2 - In the largest banquet hall of Yandu Hotel, a large screen will play a collection of photos of the two from childhood to adulthood.
Plan three - the Liu family's old house, restoring the scene of their first meeting.
Meng Anran: ...
Crazy.
Just as Meng Anran was about to reply, a third message popped up: [Or maybe we could rotate the three venues? Day one: yacht, day two: cinema, day three: old house?]
She rubbed her temples and quickly typed: [Aren't you ready to propose at the Ming family party?]
Ming Jing replied immediately: [The cocktail party is secondary, the proposal is the main thing. Wherever the proposal is suitable, then hold the cocktail party there.]
Meng Anran: [……]
Ke Nai glanced at the screen and couldn't help but chuckle, "Mr. Ming, are you planning to bring the Civil Affairs Bureau to the scene?
"Facts have proven that no matter who it is, if they hold it in for too long, they will easily go crazy." Meng Anran shook his head helplessly. He really had no way to deal with these two childhood friends.
The phone vibrated again, this time it was a voice message from Liuzhi.
After clicking it, a vigorous voice came: "An Ran! It's over, it's over! I just tested two bars!"
Meng Anran was confused for a moment. Two bars meant... pregnant?
She picked up her bag and gave Kenai a look, signaling that she was leaving. Then she stood up and walked out, calling Liuzhi.
"Zhizhi, are you sure it's two bars?"
The other end hummed a few times, "I tested it twice, and it showed two bars."
"Have you told Mingjing?" Meng Anran opened the driver's door, threw her bag on the passenger seat, got in the car, stuck her phone on the holder, turned on the hands-free function and started the car, all in one go.
"I told him, but he actually said 'wait a little longer'? Waiting for what? What's there to wait for? Anran, do you think he has changed his mind? He doesn't cherish me anymore and doesn't want to marry me anymore?" Liu Zhi complained all at once. Her thoughts were in a mess. She had never expected that there would be a little life in her belly suddenly.
You are still a child, too!
"Where are you?"
Meng Anran's voice sounded very steady, with a kind of composure in the face of danger, which calmed Liuzhi's confused thoughts a little.
"A villa in Henghai Bay." Liu Zhi answered obediently, and added: "Ming Jing went to work, so I'm home alone."
"Don't drink, don't be angry, don't walk around, calm down and stay in the living room for a while, I'll come and take you to the hospital for a check-up." Meng Anran's tone sounded steady, but he unconsciously stepped on the accelerator a little deeper.
