However, Song Fan always felt something odd about the corpse. Song Yin’s face and arms were severely damaged, but there were no traces of sulfuric acid on her body and legs.

Moreover, she heard that Xu Wen was also seriously injured, and the van driver admitted that Song Yin had contacted him for help and gave him a large sum of money, Song Yin was now considered the mastermind behind the entire incident.

A staff member approached, indifferent to the situation, and said, “Who is her direct relative? We need to conduct a DNA test to confirm the identity of the deceased.”

Meng Yu was too nauseous to speak, so Song Fan raised her chin and said, “This is her mother.”

She then left without wanting to witness the hypocritical performance of this false mother. Gu Chen always followed behind her; he knew her mood wasn’t good at this time.

Turning back to Gu Chen, Song Fan said, “Xu Wen, she…”

She suddenly didn’t know what to say. While Xu Wen had done things that angered her, she hadn’t expected her to pay such a brutal price.

“Her situation is not optimistic. The sulfuric acid burned her face and arms. The accident seems to have caused a concussion too,” Gu Chen frowned, continuing, “Since she was wearing handcuffs, the impact was likely too strong, and one wrist is fractured, and there are injuries on her body… but fortunately, her life is not in danger.”

He looked at her somewhat hesitant expression and added, “What she did is enough for a conviction. However, given her current condition, it might take a long time. Also, with Mrs. Xu present, even if Xu Wen hired an assassin and caused an explosion, it might end up with someone else taking the blame.”

Song Fan understood his meaning; the arrival of the Xu family meant that this matter would likely be settled without much consequence. At most, the Xu family might compensate her.

She nodded, hearing faint cries in the background—It was Meng Yu’s crying.

As Gu Chen had predicted, the discovery of the incident unfolded as expected. In just one day, all evidence pointed to Yingying.

The false police report and the hiring of a private detective to spy on Song Fan were all orchestrated by Yingying. There were witnesses, evidence, and nothing much to argue about.

Hei Man also confirmed that Yingying had contacted him first, making it difficult to prove that Xu Wen was the mastermind. After all, Xu Wen and Song Fan had never gotten along. This matter wasn’t a secret in A City, and some even thought that Song Fan had driven Song Yin away, leading to her return for revenge.

Miss Xu was, in the end, an innocent casualty. Her involvement was minimal, at most acting irrationally for the sake of love. Even her false accusations against Song Fan might only require monetary compensation, especially considering she had already faced consequences.

“Wen Wen, you’re awake. Look who’s here to see you?” Mrs. Xu saw her daughter’s fingers move and hurriedly approached.

Gu Chen looked at the girl on the bed, who had changed so much. He still felt a bit of reluctance; he knew Xu Wen was guilty, but this kind of punishment was something he had never considered.

The girl on the bed seemed visibly excited to see him, but her body was weak, making it impossible for her to speak. She could only reach out her hand.

Mrs. Xu quickly held her hand, then looked at Gu Chen earnestly, “Gu Chen, I know the ins and outs of this matter. Wen Wen was wrong, but the real villain is Yingying. She deliberately got close to Wen Wen, and everything was incited by her. She manipulated everything.”

Speaking of Yingyng, Mrs. Xu couldn’t hide her hatred. “She’s a despicable person. I heard that she falsely accused Song Fan of poisoning years ago. When Song Fan returned, she incited several times. This person has always been wicked since childhood. If not for her, how could Wen Wen come to A City? You know Wen Wen; despite her spoiled temperament, she is very innocent. If someone didn’t manipulate her, how could she do such a thing? It’s all because of the stepdaughter from the Song family!”

Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears and tightly held her daughter’s hand, “But fortunately, she died so miserably. I heard her death was quite awful. That’s good; she should be grateful her life ends at a time like this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let her off so easily for harming my daughter!”

Mrs. Xu felt her daughter squeeze her hand. She quickly said, “Wen Wen, rest assured. That person Yingying, or Song Yin, the evil one, is dead, and her mother has come to identify the body. She should be dead; otherwise, I wouldn’t let her off so easily for harming my daughter!”

Gu Chen still didn’t speak. While the situation seemed to have become clear, some details didn’t withstand scrutiny, such as those assassins wanting to kill Hei Man.. Who are they? What is their purpose?
