Is Chapter 289...?
Zhong Suisui's childish and slightly perfunctory words startled Su Mu. She subconsciously looked up at Zhong Suisui, who was sitting upright in front of her, suspended in mid-air, watching it elegantly lick its paws twice.
The next second, Zhong Suisui moved. Watching it return to Zhong Wan's arms without looking back, Su Mu immediately understood. His evaluation of Zhong Wan's abilities and the mysterious Zhong Suisui silently rose another level.
The thick black aura that had just hit her, and the icy chill that was even faster than the yin energy, had truly given her a chill down her spine.
At that moment, Su Mu felt incredibly fortunate that Zhong Wan and Zhong Suisui reacted even faster.
Otherwise... she might actually get injured at work.
Thinking of this, Su Mu glanced warily at Lin Wei, then at the thick, thorny vine coiling around her and peering out.
Although Lin Yu neither saw nor sensed the yin energy, she keenly noticed Su Mu's unusual behavior.
She looked at Su Mu's gaze falling on her side, thinking about the unusual behavior of Zhong Wan and Zhong Suisui just now.
A very bold idea suddenly came to her mind, but she couldn't bear to... nor did she want to accept it.
Lin Yu twisted her hands tightly together, then suddenly stood up and turned to look at Zhong Wan.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Lin Yu looked at Zhong Wan through teary eyes, and tears fell freely.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice hoarse and filled with tears and urgency, "Boss Zhong... is it...?"
"Is it... my sister...?"
She dared not, and did not want to, utter that word, but reason told her that her sister really...
Tears welled up in Lin Yu's eyes again, but she still stubbornly looked at Zhong Wan.
Zhong Wan looked at her silently without saying a word.
Seeing this, Su Mu took a deep breath to calm himself down, then looked at Lin Yu with a solemn expression and said, "The evidence has been found."
Lin Yu was stunned upon hearing this, and stared blankly at Su Mu.
Holding up her phone, she continued, "In an encrypted photo album on your phone's cloud, there's evidence left by Ms. Lin Wei... The implication is quite clear."
Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Lin Yu swayed violently, instantly losing all her strength.
She gripped the counter tightly with both hands, looking at Su Mu incredulously and asking softly, "Evidence... what evidence?"
Su Mu gripped his phone tightly, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Yu and said vaguely, "There are videos, photos, and recordings... all evidence of his domestic violence."
She had known all along... Lin Yu lowered her head in frustration, unable to support herself any longer, and slid down the counter to the ground.
She covered her face with her hands and cried uncontrollably, "Sister, I'm so sorry... It's all my fault!"
"It's my fault. I should have taken you with me in the first place."
"Waaaaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮..."
Her sister...
Seeing her in such a state of collapse, Zhong Wan and Su Mu were at a loss for words.
Just then, Lin Wei, who had been standing there quietly, seemed to sense her sister's sorrow, and even her illusory figure reacted.
However, her reaction was minimal; she merely lowered her head slightly to look at Lin Yu, observing her pained expression.
Lin Wei's lips moved slightly twice, then fell silent.
But the thick vine on her body moved again in an instant.
Not only the biggest and thickest one, but also the tiny vines and thorns on her body all emitted soft moaning sounds.
The thickest one also had the biggest reaction.
It quickly spread to Lin Yu, as if trying to comfort her, but hesitated, unsure of where to begin.
Seeing this, Zhong Wan asked softly, "Lin Yu, would you like to see your sister?"
Lin Yu's crying stopped abruptly. She looked up at Zhong Wan with a start, her tear-streaked face filled with expectation and longing: "I...can I?"
"Mr. Zhong, can I really see my sister?!"
Zhong Wan nodded slightly upon hearing this, and looked at Lin Wei's illusory figure carefully before saying, "It's possible, but her current state is somewhat... special."
"Your sister's soul is lingering due to obsession and pain. Her consciousness is unclear, and she may not even... recognize you."
"It's okay! It's okay!"
Lin Yu shook her head quickly, stood up and staggered to Zhong Wan, grabbing Zhong Wan's arm and pleading, "Just let me see her! Even... just for a glimpse!"
Zhong Wan looked into her pleading eyes and her tear-filled face, and finally nodded in agreement.
She raised her hand and placed it on Lin Yu's hand that was gripping her arm: "Let go of me, go sit down and wait a while, and you'll see it when I... finish drawing."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu quickly let go of Zhong Wan's hand and staggered backward. She haphazardly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but her gaze remained fixed on Zhong Wan.
Seeing this, Su Mu stepped forward to support Lin Yu and whispered to her, "Ms. Lin, let's go sit over there and wait. Let Zhong Wan focus on her painting. The evidence against Gao Jun is conclusive, and I need to deal with it as well."
Su Mu helped Lin Yu sit down on a stool, then turned and walked out of the shop, quickly sending several messages on his phone.
Then, looking next door, he saw that in just a moment, Chen Mo walked out quickly with a serious expression, stood at the door, and looked at Su Mu with his eyes to confirm.
After seeing Su Mu nod, he turned around and walked to the car without hesitation. As he got in, he pressed his earpiece and whispered something rapidly.
Seeing this, Su Mu was instantly relieved and turned back into the shop.
Zhong Wan sat quietly behind the counter, holding the paintbrush shrouded in black mist. She looked at Lin Wei's illusory figure, took a deep breath, and began to paint.
Su Mu quietly walked to Zhong Wan's side and stood guard over her.
Seeing this, Zhong Suisui raised her head and glanced at her, then her body went limp and she comfortably lay down again.
Zhong Wan remained focused, unaffected by their presence, and continued to draw intently with her head down.
The paintbrush in my hand moved smoothly across the slightly yellowed paper, but the ink flowing from the tip was no longer a deep black.
The color was vaguely similar to the color of soil.
Zhong Wan noticed with her sharp eyes that the tiny vines were slowly and tentatively wrapping around her paintbrush.
Zhong Wan paused, picked up her paintbrush, and looked up slightly at the vine.
It was like a bridge, steadily connecting the paintbrush in her hand with... Lin Wei's illusory image.
Zhong Wan could even clearly feel the worry and pain in her heart.
But what she felt most was her reluctance to part with her younger sister, and an unconcealed fear that Lin Yu would see her in her current state and frighten her.
