"So, most likely, this old lady was terrified at the time."
"You mean... she said that what Su Mu told her was likely something she imagined in a state of panic?"
"What else? Besides, it's true that Su Mu suffers from mental illness. Now that her son is so young and has such a big problem, it's understandable that she, as a mother, would be traumatized and have an episode. Just wait and see! Once the test results come out, the truth will come out."
"Then... if Su Mu really is the one who suffered the injury, shouldn't he be sent to a specialized hospital for compulsory treatment? But there's something strange, how come both of Liao Nanxing's ex-wives had mental illnesses?"
The two exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought.
...
On the other hand, not long after Su Mu was detained, Li Anran received the news and went to investigate.
He not only went by himself, but also brought a lawyer with him.
Upon seeing Li Anran, Su Mu tearfully recounted how Xu Xiuzhen had provoked her back then.
Then... she said she felt like she had detached from her body, and that her body was being controlled by another person, causing her to do those terrible things.
Finally, she broke down in tears: "Anran, what should we do! Xiaobao is still in the hospital, he's so young, he can't live without his mother."
I so regret my impulsiveness. I shouldn't have gone to them! What should I do, Anran? I'm such a bad mother.
Li Anran looked at the handcuffs on Su Mu's wrists and felt extremely distressed.
She wanted to reach out and wipe away Su Mu's tears, but she was too far away to reach them. So she could only hold Su Mu's hand and comfort her, "Don't be afraid! I'm here! I will definitely come to get you!"
"Don't cry, seeing you cry like this breaks my heart." Li Anran's voice trembled. "Mumu, don't worry, I'll take good care of Xiaobao. Tell Attorney Zhou what happened."
Su Mu stopped crying as soon as he said it, then sniffed and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
However, when it came to the part about hurting people, Su Mu said that he felt his consciousness was almost nonexistent.
She then kept emphasizing that she would go to see Xu Xiuzhen and Liao Nanxing because Xiaobao's doctor suggested that Liao Nanxing be a match, which is why she went.
The lawyer next to him listened attentively, taking notes while recording the conversation on his phone.
After learning what had happened, Li Anran didn't even have a chance to say a few more words to Su Mu before Su Mu was taken away.
She kept turning her head, watching Li Anran cry.
Helpless, Li Anran could only pace around anxiously, like an ant on a hot pan.
However, once he stepped out of that door, Su Mu suddenly stopped crying.
She was looking down, her face hidden by her long hair.
Through the gaps in his hair, Su Mu's upturned lips were faintly visible.
If a mental illness certificate were all that was needed to do this, she would have done it long ago.
However, she preferred to endure Xu Xiuzhen's mistreatment and Liao Tongxing's harm, and she never did this because she felt she lacked the confidence to do so.
But things are different now! With Ang Lee by her side, she not only dares to do things, but she dares to do them on a bigger scale!
Because she believed that Li Anran would definitely use all his connections to get her out of here.
The thought that Liao Nanxing was now lying in the morgue filled her with uncontainable joy.
As for Xu Xiuzhen, she didn't strangle her, not because she didn't have time, but because she deliberately didn't kill her.
She wanted to make Xu Xiuzhen, an old woman, bury her son!
She wanted Xu Xiuzhen to be consumed by grief over losing Liao Nanxing, and then slowly die alone.
Otherwise, how could it make up for the abuse she suffered over the past six months?
She kept a detailed record of every single detail for Xu Xiuzhen and Liao Nanxing.
Now all she has to do is wait, wait for Li Anran to find a way to get her out of here.
...
After leaving the police station with her lawyer, Li Anran anxiously asked, "How did it go, Zhou Chang? When can we get Mu Mu out?"
Zhou Chang looked at Li Anran with a worried expression.
He and Li Anran were childhood friends and later attended the same university.
However, they weren't in the same department. But their relationship was stronger than others.
Therefore, he not only knew Su Mu, but also knew that Li Anran's infatuation with Su Mu had reached a crazy level.
However, after meeting Su Mu today, he did not feel that Su Mu loved him as much as Li Anran claimed.
Perhaps it was his professional intuition, but he always felt that Su Mu was taking advantage of Li Anran's feelings for him, which was why he did such a reckless thing.
Based on Su Mu's description, he felt that Su Mu maintained a clear and conscious mind throughout the entire act of violence.
Moreover, he noticed that Su Mu deliberately concealed something in his description.
In conclusion, he felt that Li Anran was most likely being used by Su Mu.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chang finally spoke up: "An Ran, you and I are childhood friends. I don't want to fool you."
Li Anran interrupted, "I know that! That's precisely why I came to you! I wouldn't trust anyone else. Only with your help can Mumu have a chance to be innocent!"
“No!” Zhou Chang shook her head: “What I mean is, Su Mu may not love you as much as you think.”
Li Anran's expression immediately turned displeased.
“Zhou Chang, our relationship issues have nothing to do with this, right? Just tell me directly, under normal circumstances, can Mu Mu get out? If not, what should I do to get her out of that awful place?”
Mumu is so fragile; we absolutely can't let her stay inside for too long. Besides, I promised her I'd get her out as soon as possible. When she needs me, I must keep my word and not let her down!
Zhou Chang was extremely worried when he saw Li Anran acting so strangely.
"Anran, are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine!" Li Anran grabbed Zhou Chang. "Why are you worried about me? Tell me! What should I do? How can I get Mumu out?"
Zhou Chang realized that Li Anran had gone mad with evil.
In this situation, whatever he says will be of no use.
"Here's what we'll do: first, write a detailed description of her child's situation, then submit the medical records along with it, and apply for bail."
"And then?" Li Anran asked impatiently.
"Then, most importantly, is the mental health assessment of Su Mu. As long as it can be proven that Su Mu was incapacitated at the time of the crime, then she will not bear criminal responsibility."
However, since she injured two people during her attack, and it happened in a crowded place like a hospital, causing a negative impact, she might be subject to mandatory treatment.
Li Anran's expression grew increasingly solemn as Zhou Chang spoke.
"You mean, even if Mumu is innocent, she will still be forced to leave me?"
Zhou Chang nodded: "To put it this way, I'm not Teacher Gu, so I can't guarantee an acquittal. But I will do my best. As for the final outcome, I'm not entirely sure."
"Teacher Gu?"
"Yes. Gu Yao! Gu Yao from Junhe Law Firm!"
Li Anran's eyes lit up: "Let's go! Take me to him! No matter how much it costs, I want him to take over Mu Mu's case."
