Chapter 176 The Truth of That Year
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be living such a miserable life now..." Mu Chuchu sobbed heartbrokenly.
Xiao Beisheng turned to Gao Xun and glanced at Mu's mother in a suggestive manner.
Gao Xun immediately understood and walked towards Mu's mother, "Auntie, let me take you to the balcony to bask in the sun."
Having said that, without waiting for Mu Chuchu and Mu's mother to agree, he held the wheelchair handle and pushed Mu's mother towards the balcony.
In fact, even if Gao Xun didn't say this, Mu's mother would not have any reaction.
After Mu's mother became paralyzed, she developed Alzheimer's disease. She could no longer remember Mu Chuchu, nor could she recognize the person in front of her. Most of the time, she was just in a daze.
Mu Chuchu glared at Xiao Beisheng with tears in her eyes. "Boss Xiao, what's the matter that requires you to send my mother away? Weren't you acting so confident just now? Now, are you feeling guilty even in front of a cognitively impaired person?"
Xiao Beisheng said calmly, "I just don't want what I'm going to say to upset your mother. After all, misfortune shouldn't reach parents."
Mu's mother's mental state was indeed sometimes good and sometimes bad. She might even wake up suddenly and understand what Xiao Beisheng said.
But Mu Chuchu didn't understand what Xiao Beisheng meant.
What does it mean that misfortune does not affect parents?
"You mean, what I did would irritate my mother?" Mu Chuchu found it funny. "You just told my mother everything about me, and now you're sending her away. Don't you feel hypocritical?"
Xiao Beisheng did not respond, but asked:
"How old were you when your brother got into trouble and went to jail? I vaguely remember you were around thirteen or fourteen, not young anymore, and should have had basic judgment. What do you think of your brother? Is he the kind of person who could kill someone?"
"I don't care what kind of person he is. He's hanging out with those hooligans, so he's not a good person! How can he be a good person if he can get together to fight and engage in violent confrontations?"
Mu Chuchu spoke of her brother with a look of disdain on her face.
It can be seen that she really hates her brother to the core.
Then she reacted:
"No, how could you know so clearly? Did you know at that time that I had a murderer brother? If that's the case, why did you still support me? And for me, you supported our entire family."
"It's not for you. I chose to support your family because of your brother."
After Xiao Beisheng finished speaking, the air was silent for five seconds.
Mu Chuchu didn't believe it. "Mr. Xiao, please stop joking. Why would you support a murderer like my brother? No, I should say he's just a street thug with no skills. It's impossible for him to know you. Why would you support him?"
"Your brother was dragged into that fight for no reason. The one who stabbed someone to death wasn't actually your brother. It was just that because your family had no power, he was dragged into being a scapegoat."
Mu Chuchu couldn't believe the truth and shouted, "You're lying! Even if he's innocent, what does it have to do with you? Could it be that you were the one who stabbed him to death?!"
Xiao Beisheng looked at her coldly without saying a word.
It was indeed not him who stabbed the person to death, but Luo Yan.
He still remembers what happened at that time.
Luo Yan ran to him with blood on his hands, saying that he had accidentally stabbed someone to death. He asked him what he would do and whether he would spend the rest of his life in jail.
After questioning, he finally learned what had happened from Luo Yan's incoherent narration.
It turned out that two groups were fighting at the West Street Wharf, and Luo Yan was also present with the leader of one of the groups.
The gunfight was caused by Luo Yan.
It also ended because of Luo Yan.
At that time, the leaders of the two gangs were somewhat entangled with Luo Yan. The two gangs were so angry for the beauty that they started fighting for some reason.
Luo Yan was also present at the time, holding a weapon, and accidentally injured someone.
There was a lot of commotion that day and the police arrived at the scene quickly.
However, when the police arrived, the two groups had almost run away and they failed to capture any important people.
Only a few unknown people were caught.
Mu Chuchu’s brother is one of them.
Later, the others were convicted of minor crimes and were released from prison after serving a few years at most.
Mu Chuchu's brother was identified as the murderer.
In fact, there were many people holding weapons at the time, and it was impossible to tell who hurt whom, and there was no surveillance at the scene.
Mu Chuchu's brother has no backing and no power, and his family has no conditions to use their connections to help him outside the prison. This result is inevitable.
Whoever is chosen as the scapegoat depends entirely on who is unlucky.
Mu Chuchu's brother is the unlucky scapegoat.
Mu Chuchu's brother was sentenced to death, but it was finally commuted to life imprisonment thanks to Xiao Beisheng's efforts.
Xiao Beisheng wanted to try harder, but it was no use.
"I didn't kill him, but I was a contributing factor in your brother's imprisonment. You can tell me why I treat you differently from others. You can understand that this is my guilt and also my atonement." Xiao Beisheng's thin lips opened and closed, and in Mu Chuchu's eyes, he looked very cold, as if he was sentencing him to death.
"It's because of your girlfriend at the time, right? I heard that the fight was over a woman."
Xiao Beisheng frowned, but did not refute.
Since Mu Chuchu wants to misunderstand, then let her misunderstand.
So many years have passed since the incident, and Xiao Beisheng can't explain why it happened.
Maybe it was for Luo Yan at that time.
Or maybe it's for something else.
"I've known your brother before. He went with that gang to the docks to make some money, to cover your tuition and your mother's medical expenses. The fight that day was also about gathering enough people, and your brother was dragged into it without knowing why. It turned out to be a disaster. As his sister, you shouldn't have misunderstood him like that."
"How ironic! Don't you think it's ironic that you're saying this to me now with such a sanctimonious attitude? You're the murderer!"
Xiao Beisheng's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't refute.
He just said calmly: "I tried to overturn your brother's case, but there was no surveillance at the scene, and there were no witnesses or physical evidence to prove your brother's innocence. I can't prove your brother's innocence."
"Overturn the verdict? Ridiculous. The person who killed someone was your girlfriend. Would you send your own woman to jail for the sake of someone else's innocence? You are all the same, all of you powerful people, you are all the same! You caused my brother to go to jail, turned him into a murderer, and ruined my life!" Mu Chuchu screamed madly.
Until now, she still cares about herself, not her poor brother.
Su Man was outside the house, listening to all this, her heart was in turmoil.
Things turned out pretty much as she had guessed.
Xiao Beisheng was indeed doing this for Luo Yan.
