Shen Lin's gaze was icy cold as he narrowed his eyes at the woman's glaring smile.
Mu Chaochao looked at Shen Lin and, seeing that he was unhappy, laughed even more excessively than before. "Sigh, sometimes when I think about it, I really can't understand why Mr. Shen loves that person so much. From the beginning, it was destined that they were not suitable for each other, and they would not be happy together."
Shen Lin's cold gaze fell on Mu Chaochao, and he spoke after a long while.
"Who ordered you to do this?"
Mu Chaochao seemed to have heard a joke, "Mr. Chen, are you deceiving yourself or me by asking this question?"
Shen Lin pursed his lips, showing little emotional fluctuation due to Mu Chaochao's words.
"When we went to Nancheng, Ningning almost got into trouble. You orchestrated that accident at the Chi family's house, didn't you?"
Mu Chaochao didn't intend to hide it. "That's right, I designed it. So what?" Mu Chaochao looked at Shen Lin and smiled so obviously. "Speaking of this matter, I have to say that Ye Xinning was really lucky. She just happened to receive that call at that time and managed to avoid it."
Mu Chaochao's words were meaningful, and Shen Lin scrutinized her, "What are you trying to say?"
"It's nothing. Mr. Shen, haven't you thought about why that phone call came so promptly?"
Shen Lin slowly approached Mu Chaochao. "I don't care what your purpose is in saying all this. Mu Chaochao, are you my aunt's person?"
"Whether it is or not, Mr. Shen should know very well."
After Shen Lin finished speaking, Mu Chaochao began her next sentence.
"Or is Mr. Shen afraid and unwilling to accept this fact?"
Shen Lin walked back and sat on the sofa opposite him.
After receiving Mu Chaochao's reply, his mood calmed down compared to his initial anxiety.
"You were sent to Nancheng by my aunt. My aunt is determined to get revenge on Ningning's family, so she can't tolerate Ningning giving birth to my child, is that right?"
"Aunt Mu's choice was for Mr. Shen's own good. Moreover, that woman Ye Xinning has intimate relationships with so many men, Huo Yanzhi, Ji Jianshen, and her boss Xiao Chen. Even if Aunt Mu wasn't doing this for revenge, this alone is enough to show that Ye Xinning is not worthy of Mr. Shen at all."
Shen Lin stared into Mu Chaochao's eyes, his gaze icy. "My affairs are none of your business."
Mu Chaochao saw that Shen Lin was simply angry out of embarrassment. "Mr. Shen, I'm not saying this to be mean, but the child in Ye Xinning's belly may not even be yours, so why do you trust her so much?"
Mu Chaochao was dedicated to sabotaging the relationship between Shen Lin and Ye Xinning. If she could make Shen Lin less affectionate towards Ye Xinning, she would have accomplished some of the tasks assigned by Aunt Mu.
Shen Lin sneered, "Don't even think about sowing discord. Do you think I'd believe what you say?"
Mu Chaochao smiled and said, "Whether it's sowing discord or not, Mr. Shen can decide for himself. No one knows better than Mr. Shen how important Ye Xinning is to Ji Jianshen. Everything I'm saying here is just reasonable speculation."
Shen Lin turned to look into the distance, no longer listening to Mu Chaochao's words. "Where are the photos?"
Mu Chaochao asked in confusion, "What photos?"
"Don't play dumb. You and my aunt orchestrated this accident just to prevent the past from being uncovered. By taking the photos and having Ningning's father's accident, all of this would be covered up. But now that Ningning's father has woken up, all your plans have failed. Are you still not going to admit that you took the photos?"
Seeing Shen Lin's reasoning, Mu Chaochao paused for a second, then laughed and said, "Fine, very well, Shen Lin, but the photos, now that I've gone to so much trouble to get them, how could I possibly give them back to you?"
Shen Lin's cold gaze seemed to contain endless chill. "Mu Chaochao, can you bear the charge of intentional homicide?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that I orchestrated this car accident?" Mu Chaochao acted as if she was not afraid of anything. She wasn't driving the car at the time, so even if Shen Lin had suspicions, what could he do to her without evidence?
Looking at Mu Chaochao's fearless demeanor, Shen Lin sneered.
He gave Tang Song a look, and Tang Song went outside and soon brought in a middle-aged man.
The man was beaten so badly that he was covered in bruises and was brought in bound, not daring to lift his head.
Upon recognizing the man, Mu Chaochao's eyes widened in shock.
She stared at the newcomer in disbelief, and Shen Lin clearly saw the change in Mu Chaochao's expression.
"So, can you hand over the photos now?"
Mu Chaochao still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, "I don't know what Mr. Shen means by what photos, I don't know."
"They really won't give up until they've hit rock bottom."
After saying this, Shen Lin walked up to the man and said, "Speak."
The man was terrified of being beaten, and now he confessed everything just from a glance from Shen Lin.
“Miss Mu, we’ve already found the person. Just admit it. It was you who instructed me to drive the car to hit Chairman Song.”
"What nonsense are you spouting? When did I order you around?" Mu Chaochao said sharply, completely losing her composure.
“Miss Mu, the 500,000 yuan you gave me is still in my card, I haven’t touched a single penny. I was blinded by greed before, which is why I agreed to do such a harmful thing for you. Now I’m returning the money to you. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I don’t want to spend my whole life in jail.”
At this point in the man's speech, Mu Chaochao's expression finally changed.
"Shut up, I've never met you."
“Miss Mu, now that you’ve come this far, you’ve admitted that Mr. Shen still showed you mercy. You should stop being so stubborn.”
Mu Chaochao bit her lip tightly, knowing she couldn't avoid this, and her face grew increasingly pale.
Shen Lin was already almost certain of success, and now that she had found this person, she might really have no way to escape this time.
Having thought about this, Mu Chaochao spent a long time preparing herself mentally. When she raised her head again, the smile on her face was even brighter than before.
“Shen Lin, so what if I did it? Yes, I just don’t want Song Zhengchu to investigate these things. I just don’t want Aunt Mu’s hard work to be ruined by them. Aunt Mu’s revenge is all Song Zhengchu’s fault. I only regret that I didn’t let Song Zhengchu die in this car accident. But he really is lucky to have survived.”
Shen Lin didn't listen to a single word and said directly to Tang Song, "Since we can't get the contents of the photos, let's hand them over to the police."
