Chapter 328: A Heart-breaking Incident
Upon hearing this name, Bai Yujin froze instantly, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Meng Anran continued, "In order to develop a sedative for Lu Yi, Lu Heng has been personally testing the drugs for years, and his forearms are covered with needle marks. The drugs have caused great damage to his body, and he vomited blood some time ago..."
"Shut up!" Bai Yujin slammed his hands on the table, his shackles clanking. "Impossible! You're lying to me!"
"Did I lie to you?" Meng Anran took out two photos from her bag and threw them in front of her.
In the photo, Lu Heng was lying on the bed with a pale face, and a row of dense pinholes were arranged on his strong forearms.
Bai Yujin's pupils suddenly constricted, his eyeballs bloodshot, and he looked ferocious like a monster. "Impossible... Impossible!"
She grabbed the photo and tore it into pieces frantically: "You're lying to me! This is fake! This is all fake!"
The guard came forward, held down Bai Yujin, who was out of control, and signaled to Meng Anran with his eyes that the meeting with her should end today.
Meng Anran finally asked a question: "Bai Yujin, why do you want me to be your final experimental subject?"
"Haha..." Bai Yujin laughed sickly, "Of course it's because you betrayed my son. Ah Heng was so good to you, but you abandoned him! If I could turn you into a white dove and make you absolutely loyal to me, Ah Heng... would forgive everything I've done and come back to me."
Kenai looked at Bai Yujin calmly: "So Lu Heng knows your plan? Knows that you almost shot and killed the person he cares about most, and knows that you want to turn his only sister into a madman like Lu Yi?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Bai Yujin's head. She suddenly became quiet, her lips trembling: "No... he doesn't know... he can't know..."
"Do you think you can hide it?" Meng Anran sneered, "Lu Heng is right outside the door, listening to every word here."
Bai Yujin's expression instantly collapsed. She shook her head frantically, the shackles rubbing bloody marks on her wrists. "No... Impossible! You lied to me!"
The guards rushed in and controlled the frantic White Turmeric.
At the last moment before being dragged out of the meeting room, she suddenly looked up, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Meng Anran:
"Do you think it's over? As long as there are still people who believe in loyalty, the game will continue..."
When we walked out of the detention center, the snow was falling even harder.
The cold snowflakes fell on Meng Anran's hot cheeks, and she realized that she had been crying without knowing when.
Konai handed over the handkerchief: "Her last words..."
"It's just bluffing." Meng Anran wiped away her tears and regained her composure. "The evidence in the case is solid. She can't escape legal punishment."
But when she looked up at the gray sky, her heart was shrouded in an lingering haze.
After a while, she suddenly said, "Sometimes I feel that the current laws are still too humane."
A bullet can end the crime, but it cannot eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the victims and their families.
If it were ancient punishments, Meng Anran would not think it was excessive to use all ten cruel tortures on Bai Yujin.
Kenai studied her expression quietly, then turned his head to follow her gaze towards the gray sky. "How do you know she cares about Lu Heng?"
He had just seen from inside that Meng Anran came here not only to understand Bai Yujin's motives, but also to destroy her heart.
If the legal judgment cannot make Bai Yujin repent, then let the guilt torture her.
"I met Kong Liang last night. He said Bai Yujin has been wearing the necklace Lu Heng gave her when she was twelve." Meng Anran's voice was light and the white breath she exhaled quickly disappeared into the air. "I looked carefully at Lin Zhengru's photo. Lu Heng's eyes are very similar to his."
The two photos shown to Bai Yujin were indeed fake.
She contacted Lu Heng on the way here and took the photo on the spur of the moment.
Kenai raised his eyebrows and looked at her sideways: "Could it be?"
Meng Anran chuckled: "It's just a coincidence."
Lu Heng is indeed the child of Bai Yujin and Lu Zhong, but Bai Yujin is too obsessed with him and will hold on to any trace of resemblance to her old friend.
It's like a person floating on the sea grabbing a straw.
She fantasized about being saved—that Lin Zhengru had once truly loved her.
"Love is blind." Kenai leaned against the car, clutching his thermos cup. Steam rose through the open lid, wafting the faint aroma of black tea into the air.
Meng Anran stood beside him, the aroma of coffee wafting from the thermos in her hand. She took a sip of the hot coffee and said relaxedly, "I don't agree with that. It depends on the person. Don't generalize."
Kenai glanced at her speechlessly, "I suddenly feel sorry for Qin Mu, for meeting someone as emotionally indifferent as you."
"Tsk." Meng Anran shrugged nonchalantly, "Be honest when you have it, and let it go when you lose it. Love is not everything in life. I am the only protagonist in my world."
Kenai thought about her words seriously, smiled faintly, and turned his head to look at the bright light in the sky: "It's dawn."
"Yeah." Meng Anran sighed and exhaled, reaching out to catch the dwindling snowflakes. "The snow will stop soon."
The two stood in silence in the morning light, each holding a hot drink.
The snow was indeed almost stopping, with only a few scattered flakes still floating in the air.
"Where to go next?" asked Kona.
Meng Anran pulled up her sleeves and glanced at her watch. "I'll go to the hospital to visit Lin Lu first, and then I have to go back to the Meng family at noon. When I left home this morning, my brother's eyes looked a little strange."
Konai nodded in understanding: "Are you still hiding it from them?"
"It's such a big case, so we shouldn't involve them." Meng Anran opened the car door. "But it's finally over."
Now we just have to wait for the court session to let the law punish Bai Yujin.
The silver sports car drove onto the asphalt road. When it said goodbye to the Volvo, the passenger's cell phone suddenly rang.
Meng Anran glanced at the caller ID and was surprised - it was Fang Yu, the class monitor in junior high school.
After graduating from junior high school, she had no contact with any other classmates except Liu Zhi and Ming Jing.
After eight years of no contact, she would suddenly call. Generally speaking, she would either need help with something, or they would exchange a few pleasantries and ask to borrow money.
No matter what the situation was, Meng Anran had a pretty good relationship with Fang Yu back then, so there was no need for her to refuse if she could help, lest she be criticized.
Thinking of this, she connected her phone to the car's Bluetooth and answered the call.
"An Ran, are you busy?" Fang Yu said this common greeting, and she even laughed at herself after saying it. "It's pointless to ask. You're the chairman of a large group, so you must be very busy."
Meng Anran chuckled politely and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
"I guessed you definitely didn't check the class chat." Fang Yu's voice was filled with laughter. "We've been talking about how we haven't organized a class reunion since graduation. It's been so long since we last saw each other, so we should take advantage of the New Year break to get together."
Meng Anran had a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were calm. "Have you set a time?"
"Not yet. We're discussing a good date in the group." Fang Yu paused and said hesitantly, "But... Chen Xiwen will be there too. If you don't want to see her, it's okay if she doesn't come. We can find another opportunity to meet her next time."
When Meng Anran heard the name "Chen Xiwen", a hint of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Then he said, "It's okay. It depends on the date you choose. I'll come over when I'm free."
