“I’ll help you seek the truth and avenge Xiner’s death!” Mu Chenyan said firmly.

When Zhao Yanni heard Mu Chenyan’s words, the hesitation in her eyes deepened.

“Miss Mu, is what you say for real?”

Mu Chenyan nodded.

Zhao Yanni’s lips quivered, her eyes were humble and persistent as if she had seen a little hope.

“Why would you want to do that?”

When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Yanni’s question, she chuckled bitterly, “Aunty Zhao, you’ve got a poor memory. Have you forgotten? I was also once a murder suspect.”

Zhao Yanni was stunned as if she had just recalled such an event. She mumbled softly, “I’ve never suspected you.”

Hearing that, Mu Chenyan felt rather surprised. As the mother of the victim, Zhao Yanni had actually said that she had never suspected her.

“Why’s that?” Mu Chenyan asked.

Zhao Yanni answered, “I’ve felt that there was something fishy about Xiner’s death. Moreover, I’ve known about your mother, Yan Mei. She’s a famous socialite in Jiang Cheng. Although I’ve never had any contact with her, I’m aware that she’s a very nice person. She’s very kind and has done many charitable deeds. How could the daughter she brought up be that cruel... My Xiner... She’s that... that weak... How could one have done that...”

Perhaps because Zhao Yanni recalled Zhao Ruoxin’s tragic death, hence she was weeping sadly again.

Mu Chenyan heard that Zhao Yanni had personally confessed a truth — the woman who had died was indeed Zhao Ruoxin!

“Aunty, what you said is right. My mother had taught me since young to be kind to others. I’d never commit such a brutal act...” When Mu Chenyan spoke up to this point, she began to choke up. “However, you’re well aware that back then when I was arrested as a suspect, one of the reason was that someone had deliberately framed me...

“I’ve waited painfully for two years in prison. Now, besides you, I’m the one who desires the most to find the killer!”

This made Zhao Yanni saw Mu Chenyan’s sincerity.

“Consider it avenging Ruoxin’s death. Shouldn’t you tell me what really happened? How did Qinger and Ruoxin swap identities?”

As Mu Chenyan spoke, she moved in a step closer, and her pressuring gaze caused Zhao Yanni to have nowhere to hide.

Zhao Yanni lowered her head and was somewhat flustered. She whispered, “If I tell you the truth, you wouldn’t hurt Qinger, would you?”

Mu Chenyan was taken aback for a moment. After giving it some thoughts, she understood this woman’s meaning. Even though Qinger had not treated her kindly, she was, after all, her daughter, hence she was worried about Qinger’s safety.

“Don’t worry, I won’t harm Qinger. Moreover, if the Yuan Family knows that Qinger’s not dead, they’d treat her even better. How’d they harm her?”

What Mu Chenyan had said was the truth. Just that Old Mistress Yuan alone, she probably was more delighted to see Qinger than to see her.

Zhao Yanni sighed gently. She had indeed seen the Yuan Family’s kind treatment toward Qinger. Maybe even if Qinger had crossed a line, they would also pardon her.

Hence, after considering her words, Zhao Yanni opened her mouth to speak. “Three years ago, Ruoxin had an opportunity to have a heart transplant.”

There was a faint light in Mu Chenyan’s eyes. She did not interject as she already knew that that heart was acquired through Xia Tao’s abuse of power by harming a teenager.

However, the reason Mu Chenyan did not mention that she had been to City C was so that Zhao Yanni would not feel pressured.

After all, Ruoxin was under the provision of Xia Tao at that time, and it was an undignified matter. However, this mother had silently agreed and connived it!

Zhao Yanni continued saying, “Ruoxin’s surgery was a success, and her recovery went well.” “It was just after Ruoxin had recovered and discharged from the hospital that Qinger came to City C suddenly.”

“Qinger went to City C after returning to the country three years ago?”

Mu Chenyan was surprised at this outcome.

This meant that the time when Qinger returned from Italy basically coincided with her time of returning from the UK.

However, although Qinger came back to the country, she did return to the Yuan Family!

At that time, Mu Chenyan was completely immersed in the excitement of marrying Yuan Xuan. She had also asked Yuan Xuan about Qinger’s situation, but Yuan Xuan kept avoiding the topic.

Because of Yuan Xuan’s attitude, hence when it was later rumored in the outside world that Yuan Xuan’s beloved was his old childhood sweetheart, Shu Qinger, Mu Chenyan nearly believed it.

After that, the preparation for the marriage took a year. During this period, Mu Chenyan was so preoccupied that she had forgotten about Qinger’s matter.

Moreover, the Mu Chenyan at that time was innocent and simple-minded.

She laughed at herself.

“Qinger had come to City C three years ago. However, when she was here, she was in a terrible mood. She was out of spirits and seemed depressed.”

As Zhao Yanni recalled the past, she let out a sigh. “I thought to myself, at that time, she must have suffered some grievances on the outside.” “It’s just that at that time... I didn’t even... notice it...”

Zhao Yanni blamed herself and sobbed as she said.

“When Qinger saw that Ruoxin’s surgery was a success, she was also happy. Every day, she’d bring her younger sister along as she carried the easel and went painting. Those days were truly the happiest times the three of us had together! If only... If only... it wasn’t for that incident later on...”

That incident later on?

Mu Chenyan felt that that so-called “incident” must have been something terrible. Watching Zhao Yanni teared up again, Mu Chenyan felt that she was rather cruel.

Everyone would have a past that was hard to recall; the kind of past that would wrench one’s heart once it was looked back on. What she was exposing might just be the scar in Zhao Yanni’s heart!

“Qinger had grown up in the Yuan Family since young, so her inherent aura was different. Coupled with the fact that she was pretty, that damned bastard husband of mine had long had some ideas on Ruoxin. It was just that Ruoxin’s physical condition did not allow it, so he dared not touch Ruoxin, but then Qinger appeared...”

Mu Chenyan did not pressure Zhao Yanni, and she began to spill it all out.

Reaching this point, Zhao Yanni was slightly hesitant, and there was much uneasiness in her eyes. She lowered her head and dared not look at Mu Chenyan’s expression.

“You mean, he... he touched Qinger?”

Mu Chenyan’s heart skipped a beat.

She and Qinger, though they did not have a close relationship, yet hearing that she had been bullied and that her mother might just have been an accomplice, a feeling of repulsion arose in Mu Chenyan’s heart. She gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Yanni’s pitiful look. All her sympathy suddenly turned into a kind of abhorrence!

Those who were pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to their lows!

“Did he force Qinger?”

“No. He was a doctor, so he had lots of anesthetics... He drugged Qinger...”

“As Qinger’s mother, how could you have allowed such a thing to happen?”

Mu Chenyan stood up and finally could not help but accused Zhao Yanni.

Having previously seen how Shu Qinger had treated Zhao Yanni, if the bystanders were to say it was unacceptable, Mu Chenyan was able to comprehend the reason behind it now.

Although Shu Qinger had brought Zhao Yanni back to Luo Hai, there must have been hatred in her heart!

Zhao Yanni sniveled and appeared remorseful. “I had no choice. That man was savage. If we were to resist, he would’ve beaten Ruoxin and me to death!

“After my divorce with Shu Heng, my parental home felt that I was a disgrace and refused to have anything to do with me. I had no one to go to, and I was helpless...

“After that man got what he wanted, he even said that Qinger was not a virgin and that he had suffered a loss...”

When Mu Chenyan heard that, she suddenly felt like going ballistic!

Luckily, that man was already dead. Otherwise, how could he be allowed to live in the world peacefully?

He himself had committed such a shameless act, yet he dared to say such things!

“What happened after that?” Mu Chenyan asked coldly.

Zhao Yanni shrunk her body. Recalling that scene seemed to terrify her. “When Qinger woke up and knew that she had been violated, she kicked up a tremendous fuss, and as she suffered a breakdown, her strength was astoundingly strong.”

“The few of us could not hold her down, so running out of options, the damned bastard gave her a shot of tranquilizer...”

Mu Chenyan was speechless.
