Mu Chenyan did not know about the huge changes that had taken place in City C. Yuan Xuan only said that someone had been tempted by money and committed murder.
Yuan Xuan did not really believe this statement. However, Xia Tao was already dead. In order to protect his colleague's reputation, Bureau Chief Liu concealed Xia Tao's matter and reported it to Yuan Xuan as a person who had been tempted by money.
Even a powerful dragon could not suppress a snake in its own territory.
If Yuan Xuan used his connections in City C, Bureau Chief Liu would be an obstacle. He thought about it and decided to go back to Luo Hai first.
No matter what, Brother Sheng would not be able to get out of prison in this lifetime.
Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng were escorted back to Luo Hai. Then, they were 'taken ill' and had to stay at home on leave.
Mu Chenyan had already sent the draft for this operation to Zhang Xin. Once he was on leave, he could be considered to have become a complete cripple!
However, she kept thinking about the investigation in City C. Mu Chenyan thought that since she was locked up at home by Yuan Xuan, she would not be able to leave until that man was appeased.
She needed a chance to go to the hospital and see if she could get any useful information from Zhao Yanni.
However, how could he not arouse Yuan Xuan's suspicions …
Mu Chenyan's mind turned. Of course, she had to use the excuse of visiting Yan Mei.
Zhao Yanni's later treatment was at Sheng Yu Hospital, and it just so happened that Yan Mei was also staying there!
When Mu Chenyan arrived at Sheng Yu Hospital, she first went to see her mother.
Every time Mu Chenyan came, her mother would always look the same. She would quietly lie there. Her fair skin showed the weakness of being bedridden for a long time. She was completely unaware of what was going on in the outside world and could not react in any way. Even so, the fact that her mother was still alive gave Mu Chenyan a lot of comfort and courage.
She cleaned Yan Mei's body and took out a bottle of perfume from her bag to spray her mother. "Mother, this is your favorite daisy perfume."
Yan Mei used to be an elegant and decent woman. Mu Chenyan only did this to comfort her.
Her brother was in exile and his whereabouts were unknown. In Luo Hai, Yan Mei was Mu Chenyan's only family.
After leaving the ward, Mu Chenyan went to the nurses' station and checked her ward number.
Yan Mei stayed on the seventh floor. Zhao Yanni's ward was two floors away from Yan Mei's.
Mu Chenyan was not sure if the Yuan Family had sent someone to guard her, so she pretended to be lost and made her way to the ninth floor.
Most of the other patients had already been discharged. However, Zhao Yanni's condition was not very good. Even if she was discharged later on, she would still need to undergo mental rehabilitation.
On the day of the Zong He incident, she had taken a large amount of hallucinogenic drugs. That was why she had run to the back of the mountain in the middle of the night.
It had been almost a month since the incident. Zhao Yanni had gradually regained her consciousness but her body was still very weak. The Yuan Family did not lack the hospital fees. Therefore, while the others were taken home to recuperate, Zhao Yanni was still staying in the VIP ward.
There were no guards sent by the Yuan Family in the corridor. Mu Chenyan secretly rejoiced.
The VIP ward was a single room with 360-degree surveillance without any blind spots. Mu Chenyan had already made up her mind. If Yuan Xuan asked her why she came to see Zhao Yanni, she would tell him the truth.
Yuan Xuan's attitude was also very strange to Mu Chenyan. He had connived with her running to City C without permission. He did not interrogate her for a few days after she returned.
Mu Chenyan pushed open the door of the ward. She saw the pitiful woman lying on the bed and staring blankly at the ceiling.
She looked very different from when she saw her during the Spring Festival a few months ago. She seemed to have aged by ten years.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, a glimmer of life flashed across the woman's dark, lifeless eyes.
Zhao Yanni was very surprised when she looked at Mu Chenyan. Her pale lips trembled and the words "Miss Mu" were stuck in her throat …
Mu Chenyan sensed that the current Zhao Yanni was no longer the Zhao Yanni who feigned madness during the Spring Festival. However, because of the poison, her reaction was indeed slower than ordinary people.
"Aunty Zhao!" Mu Chenyan called out crisply. She placed the fruits that she had brought with her on the bedside cabinet and took a chair to sit by the bed. "I came to visit my mother and also to see you! Are you feeling better? "
Mu Chenyan had a sweet appearance to begin with, and she had a natural affinity for beauty. Moreover, she truly sympathized with Zhao Yanni from the bottom of her heart. Hence, the emotions that flowed out of her eyes were heartfelt concern.
Zhao Yanni's heart was filled with mixed feelings. It had been a long time since anyone came to see her. Zhao Ruoxin would only stand far away every time she came. When had she ever spoken to her so gently and intimately …
"Miss Mu, I'm very happy that you came to see me …"
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Yanni finally said a sentence that expressed her current feelings.
Mu Chenyan smiled and took out an apple from the fruit bag. The bright red, crispy, and sweet apple turned it over and over in Mu Chenyan's palm.
After she was done peeling the apple, she passed it to Zhao Yanni and said with a smile, "Aunty, my mother has been in a coma for many years. Every time I come to the hospital, I always think that if she can eat an apple that I peeled one day, I would be so happy that I could die!"
Zhao Yanni trembled as she took the apple. The woman who had not been treated kindly for many years now had an excited expression on her face.
Her ex-husband had abandoned her, her second husband had abused her, and her daughter had used her …
It seemed that the pleasure that she had stolen behind Shu Heng's back when she was 30 years old had given her the beginning of a lifetime of suffering!
When she thought about the sudden reversal of her life and the drastic change in the situation, the woman who had suffered for half her life completely collapsed when she received someone else's love and care. She burst into tears …
Mu Chenyan did not try to comfort her. Instead, she took a tissue and passed it to her.
Tears streamed down the woman's face as she used tissue after tissue.
After a long time, Zhao Yanni finally calmed down. Her eyes were red and swollen.
Mu Chenyan said in a low voice, "Aunty Zhao, when you're unhappy, it's really comfortable to cry out, isn't it?"
Zhao Yanni nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Miss Mu!"
It had been a long time since she had felt as happy as she did today. If Mu Chenyan had not come, she was afraid that she would have kept this resentment in her heart until the day she died.
"Miss Mu, is there something you need from me?"
Although Zhao Yanni's reaction was slow, after thinking for such a long time, she should have guessed that it was not a coincidence that Mu Chenyan came to her place.
The corners of Mu Chenyan's lips curled into a smile. She sat down and did not beat around the bush. She went straight to the point. "Aunty Zhao, Shu Qinger's still alive, right?"
Zhao Yanni's entire body trembled. She looked at Mu Chenyan in disbelief. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly but she could not say anything.
After a while, her eyes drifted and she murmured, "I don't know what you're talking about …"
Mu Chenyan could see that Zhao Yanni was having an intense internal struggle!
She was not in a hurry either. Instead, she smiled and said, "Although Qinger and Xin Er are twins and their faces are extremely similar, as their biological mother, you'll definitely be able to tell them apart, right?"
Mu Chenyan said while observing Zhao Yanni's reaction. This woman did not dare to look at Mu Chenyan at all. Under Mu Chenyan's gaze, she became more and more flustered. Her hands grabbed onto the corner of the blanket and she was having an even more intense internal struggle.
"Qinger didn't grow up by your side. Your feelings for her are definitely not as deep as Xin Er's. Xin Er was raised by you, so you don't want her to die a horrible death, right?"
Mu Chenyan threw out her trump card and played the family card!
