Chapter 109
Mu Qingxuan said something to Huo Changfeng and then hung up the phone.
The late autumn wind swept across the street with fallen leaves. She pulled her coat closer and walked quickly towards the black car parked on the side of the road.
Lu Jingfeng had been standing by the car door waiting, his military boots casting straight shadows on the ground, and his stern face looked particularly deep in the twilight.
But the moment he saw Mu Qingxuan, Lu Jingfeng showed a gentle smile again.
After Mu Qingxuan got in the car, the car started slowly.
The tires rolled over the golden sycamore leaves on the ground, making a crackling sound.
Mu Qingxuan looked at the street scene that was receding outside the window, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I heard you call the old director teacher, are you his student?"
Lu Jingfeng tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly, his Adam's apple moved, and his voice became low and hoarse.
"That's right. I come from a poor family and lost my parents when I was young. I was found by a teacher when I was wandering on the street. He felt sorry for me and took me home without saying a word. He funded my education and taught me how to behave."
"When I became an adult, I wanted to follow him and become a police officer, but he patted me on the shoulder and told me to join the army while I was still young and contribute more to the country. That's how I joined the army."
"After I was discharged from the army, I was assigned to the police station, and my teacher taught me how to investigate cases and how to interrogate..."
Having said that, he suddenly sighed, his eyes full of regret.
"If the teacher were here, he would definitely be able to find out who Mu Qianqian is. I still haven't learned the essence of the teacher."
Mu Qingxuan turned her head, looked at his tense profile, and said softly, "Officer Lu, the old director must be very proud that he could train someone as outstanding as you."
"You are already better than many people."
Lu Jingfeng's hands on the steering wheel gradually relaxed, and a grateful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Comrade Mu."
The light from the street lamp shone through the car window onto his face, making that smile seem especially warm.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Public Security Bureau.
Lu Jingfeng took Mu Qingxuan to a communication room, then turned around and walked out.
After a while, he came in again with Sun Qiumei, whose hands were handcuffed.
The incandescent lamp in the communication room emitted a dazzling light, and the light was like an invisible needle, piercing straight into people's eyes.
When Sun Qiumei was pushed in roughly, the cheap plastic slippers on her feet fell to the ground with a "click", echoing in the empty room.
She slumped down in a chair, disheveled, without her former arrogance, and dust accumulated between her fingernails.
His red and swollen eyes were bloodshot and his expression was distorted, as if he was ready to pounce and bite at any time.
"Mu Qingxuan, tell them to let me out! These bastards!"
Sun Qiumei slammed the table and stood up, causing it to buzz and even the enamel pot on the table began to bounce.
Her voice was sharp and piercing, like nails scratching a blackboard, and her saliva almost splashed on Mu Qingxuan's face opposite her.
Lu Jingfeng immediately took half a step forward and stomped his military boots heavily on the ground.
He put his hand on the pistol at his waist, and his fierce eyes pressed down on Sun Qiumei like a physical object.
If she does anything extreme again, action will be taken immediately.
Mu Qingxuan remained motionless, her tone calm and without a trace of emotion: "What's wrong with Grandpa?"
Sun Qiumei did not answer.
"The drugging has nothing to do with me!"
She suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs, her hair exploding with the movement like a cat with its fur exploded.
"You know very well in your heart that it was that little bitch Mu Qianqian! She was the one who wanted to harm you. It has nothing to do with me!"
"It's obviously you who have done so much evil. Even your own sister has become your enemy. Why should I take the blame?"
She stood up suddenly.
Because of the big movement, the chair behind him was dragged to the ground.
The chairs scraped against the ground, making a harsh sound that echoed in the small room and hurt the eardrums.
"I have raised you for so many years, provided you with food and clothing, and you actually sent your own mother to the police station! You are such an ungrateful bastard!"
She pounced on Mu Qingxuan with a ferocious face, and her nails almost poked Mu Qingxuan's eyes.
Fortunately, Lu Jingfeng reacted quickly and stopped her in one step. His iron-like arms tightly grasped her shoulders, and no matter how she struggled, she didn't move at all.
"The ones who actually sent you here were Mu Dashan, Mu Qianqian, and your most beloved Mu Dongjie."
Mu Qingxuan crossed her legs and tapped the table rhythmically with her fingertips. The corners of her mouth were raised in a mocking arc, and her eyes were full of disdain for Sun Qiumei.
She looked at Lu Jingfeng, using her eyes to indicate that she was fine, and motioned for him to let Sun Qiumei go.
Lu Jingfeng hesitated for a moment, let go of his hand, and stood back in the corner.
"Mu Qianqian committed a crime in your name, and Mu Dashan and Mu Dongjie did not hesitate to throw dirty water on you, fearing that the crime would fall on themselves. To them, you are just a scapegoat."
Mu Qingxuan mercilessly tore off Sun Qiumei's fig leaf and told her the truths that she was most unwilling to accept.
Sun Qiumei froze in place for a moment, a look of hurt flashing in her eyes.
But in a moment her face turned red again, as if her scar had been exposed in public.
She was panicking inside, but then she turned angry and said, "Nonsense! How could Dong Jie hurt me? It must be you, a bitch, who is trying to sow discord between us! You just can't stand seeing us mother and son getting along!"
"I am your biological mother. If you don't save me, I'll see if everyone will spit on you and drown you!"
Mu Qingxuan stood up slowly, impatiently.
"I didn't come here today to argue with you."
Her voice seemed to come from under the ice, carrying a coldness that could freeze everything.
"If you don't know the information about Grandpa, then I'll leave now. As for the future, whether you are thrown into prison or shot, or any other consequences, it has nothing to do with me."
Mu Qingxuan said coldly: "Don't forget, we severed our mother-daughter relationship as early as the year you killed Grandpa."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
But just as her hand was about to touch the door handle, Sun Qiumei suddenly shouted, "I know a secret of Mu Hongguo!"
Her voice was like a duck with its neck strangled, with a sharp and broken tone.
She stumbled forward: "I really know!"
Sun Qiumei immediately panicked.
She knew in her heart that only Mu Qingxuan could save her now, so she didn't dare to act like a demon.
Mu Qingxuan stopped and stared at Sun Qiumei with a dead heart, as if to see what new tricks she could come up with.
Sun Qiumei was worried that Mu Qingxuan would leave immediately, so she said hurriedly:
"In fact, Mu Hongguo is not your biological grandfather."
Mu Qingxuan frowned, not quite understanding what this meant.
The next second, Sun Qiumei took a deep breath and said palely:
"The old man picked you up from the mountain."
