Chapter 814. Inside Story (4)
Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He stared at Mu Yuchen as he recalled his conversation with Zhou Zimo last night. Then, he patted Mu Yuchen’s shoulder again. “Alright, I can somewhat guess what happened. It’s been some time since you started investigating Lingshi’s background. I don’t see you doing anything else ever since you returned from City B the last time, so I’m sure you’ve found something.”
Mu Yuchen did not deny it. He replied, “Zimo should’ve told you about this.”
Su Chen nodded as his tone became lower. “I couldn’t believe it when I listened to Zimo’s analysis, but I suppose it’s not far from the truth now that I’ve spoken to you. Gu Qiwu should be the person Lingshi and we have been looking for!”
“I sensed that something wasn’t right when all the evidence pointed towards Qi Qiming. If it really was Qi Qiming, he wouldn’t have that kind of relationship with Lu Xinlan. Moreover, Qi Qiming was in contact with Lu Xinlan before she met my aunt. Do you think Lu Xinlan would have allowed my aunt to have a romantic relationship with Qi Qiming?” Mu Yuchen looked at Su Chen as he spoke calmly.
“That’s impossible. I do remember Sis Lan being on very good terms with Aunt Mu Zi, but when romance is involved, friendship can get pretty fragile there.”
“That’s why I didn’t think Qi Qiming was that person, but I still did a DNA test just to make sure, and the results confirmed my guess.”
“Lu Xinlan probably knew something, but she didn’t want to spill it even right before her death. I’m not sure what she was trying to do.” Su Chen’s eyes were filled with doubt as he spoke.
Mu Yuchen glanced over at the blood-stained area on his collar before he closed his eyes. “She knew. Actually, she’s just trying to protect my aunt. I can understand what she felt. Maybe she felt responsible for my aunt’s unfortunate end and her neglect towards Lingtian and Lingshi.”
Su Chen found it a little hard to breathe all of a sudden. He calmed down before looking at Mu Yuchen firmly. “How are you going to tell Lingshi this? Does she know? I don’t think she can take it if she finds out!”
