“Su Li wants to send her grandmother off? I don’t think so. She should worry that I’ll kill her after grandma dies. I warned her to calm down and told her she had no chance of leaving that place in this lifetime!”
Wen Xin showed considerable tolerance towards Su Li. In M Continent, aside from lacking personal freedom, she hadn’t mistreated Su Li. It was just that Su Li insisted on pretending to be insane and trying to escape.
Now, all her schemes had failed. She still wanted to return to the country, which was simply wishful thinking.
“Tell her that her grandmother’s affairs have nothing to do with her. Let her give up her delusions and stop hoping to escape.”
“Yes, don’t worry. When she’s not pretending anymore, they’ve already increased security over there. She won’t have a chance to escape.”
Seeing Wen Xin looking exhausted, Chu Yunxuan felt sorry for her. “You go and lie down with Tan Xingyue for a while. Tan Xingyue isn’t sleeping well either. With you there, she should be able to sleep more soundly.”
“Okay, please burn more paper for my grandmother.” Wen Xin was really worried about Tan Xingyue’s uneasy sleep. She stood up, glanced at Mu Chengxi, and then walked inside.
After Wen Xin left, Chu Yunxuan went out with her phone. Passing by Mu Chengxi, she paused briefly and spoke gently, “If you don’t mind, sir, you should go inside and rest for a while. The night is long, and there won’t be anyone coming to pay respects until tomorrow.”
“Alright, I understand.” Mu Chengxi lit a cigarette and replied faintly. He was actually waiting for Mu Dong and Gu Yanzhe to come.
After Chu Yunxuan left, Liang Luoyu came out in a wheelchair. He had been sitting in the room with Tan Xingyue just now, but now that Wen Xin went to accompany Tan Xingyue, he came out.
“Master Xi, Madam has poison in her body…” Liang Luoyu had a test report from somewhere. He had been carrying it with him and hadn’t given it to Wen Xin.
Mu Chengxi took the report handed to him by Liang Luoyu, glanced at it, and narrowed his eyes slightly. He casually took out a lighter, lit the report, and then tossed it into the nearby trash can.
“Who else knows about this report besides you?”
“I don’t know how this report ended up in my wheelchair pocket. I just happened to see it accidentally while taking things out from inside. But I didn’t tell anyone. I just hid the report.”
Liang Luoyu felt that this matter was abnormal. He didn’t dare to act rashly and could only wait for Mu Chengxi to come back before discussing this matter with him.
“Well, let’s stop here with this matter. Don’t mention it again. If anyone brings it up again, we’ll have to investigate it thoroughly. It’s probably some kind of conspiracy.”
Mu Chengxi didn’t want to cause trouble for Wen Xin at this critical moment. With Tan Xingyue’s sudden appearance and the test report on Yang Jingyan, he felt that this matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed. He was worried that someone was setting a trap for Wen Xin.
At that moment, a woman’s figure approached from a distance. She seemed to have been hiding in the shadows for a long time and only came out after hearing Mu Chengxi and Liang Luoyu’s conversation.
“I’m the one who placed that report in the gentleman’s wheelchair. I didn’t intend to do this, but I took money from Madam and had no choice but to do it…”
The person who emerged from the shadows was Aunt Yao. She had originally wanted to give the test report directly to Wen Xin, but she was afraid that Wen Xin would suspect her of being the one who harmed Madam Yang.
She had originally intended to leave the sanatorium after doing this, but she was genuinely moved by Wen Xin. Instead of losing her job after Yang Jingyan’s passing, Wen Xin even wanted to solve her problems. She felt guilty for what she had done to Wen Xin.
She had wanted to retrieve the test report, but she hadn’t seen Liang Luoyu again, nor had she had the chance to retrieve the report.
Hearing Aunt Yao’s words, both Liang Luoyu and Mu Chengxi felt somewhat incredulous. They didn’t understand why Yang Jingyan would do this… and what her purpose was.
“What did your grandmother say to you before she passed away?” Mu Chengxi looked at Aunt Yao, feeling that something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. After all, Aunt Yao was someone Wen Xin trusted.
“A week ago, my grandmother met someone who said he came from the capital. After that person left, my grandmother asked me to take her blood to a hospital outside for a blood test. When I got the results, I was very scared…”
“I came back and handed the report to my grandmother, and she put the report away, murmuring, ‘Good and evil will be repaid in the end. It’s not that there’s no retribution. It’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.’ At the time, I couldn’t understand what she meant. I just wanted to contact Miss Wen to detoxify my grandmother.”
“Old Madam gave me some money and asked me to keep this secret. She said she was old and in poor health, and didn’t want to continue suffering, so she asked me not to say anything.”
“But, on the night before my grandmother fell ill, she suddenly gave me this report and asked me to pass it on to Miss Wen. I was afraid, so I used this method to secretly put the report in this gentleman’s wheelchair.”
Listening to Aunt Yao’s explanation, Mu Chengxi let out a cold smile. From the moment he saw Yang Jingyan, he felt that this old lady was not simple.
Even in death, she wanted to play a trick on Wen Xin. She knew that Wen Xin had deep feelings for her. If Wen Xin found out that she had been poisoned, she would definitely not let go of the person who poisoned her.
“How did the person from the capital enter? Didn’t the staff at the sanatorium know?” If a stranger entered, the staff at the sanatorium would definitely know. According to Wen Xin’s relationship with the sanatorium, Wen Xin should also know about this.
“When that person entered, there was a sudden power outage at the sanatorium. By the time the power was restored, that person had already appeared in the house. When the old Madam saw that person, she was not surprised at all. She seemed to be somewhat familiar with him. She just said faintly, ‘You’re here…’ Then my grandmother asked me to leave.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Luoyu and Mu Chengxi glanced at each other. It seemed that they needed to investigate this grandmother’s identity thoroughly…
“Aunt Yao, I hope you treat this matter as if nothing happened. I’ve burned the test report. If you don’t want to cause trouble and want to live a good life, just pretend nothing happened. It’s much safer for you here than outside.”
Mu Chengxi’s cold and deep eyes looked at Aunt Yao, deliberately lowering his voice so that only she could hear what he was saying.
“If anyone starts investigating Grandmother’s poisoning, the first people in danger will be you and your family. I don’t intend to let Wen Xin know about this. As long as Wen Xin doesn’t investigate, you’ll be safe. The choice is yours..”
