C126

The next morning, the police directly went to the hospital to arrest someone, and the police car was parked at the entrance of the hospital. There was a loud noise, and it attracted a lot of attention from people.

Lu Manyun had never been very cooperative, "On what basis are you capturing me? What crime have I committed? "

"Ms. Lu, you are suspected of murdering Wei Zhanyan. We have a certain amount of evidence under our control. If there is anything, we can talk about it at the police station." The police officer's face was cold and official. The people working below did not know what General Ji's lover was, as they only had eyes for the criminals.

"What did you say? I can't understand at all, how could I possibly kill Zhan Yan? " Lu Manyun was completely confused.

Behind her, Lu Anqi chased her out of the sickroom. Because she couldn't see anything, she could only support herself on the wall as she stumbled forward. Before she could even take a few steps, she tripped on a nearby bench and fell onto the ground, crying non-stop.

Her shout almost shattered Lu Manyun's heart. She struggled to free herself from the restraints of the police officers on both sides and ran to Angie's side, crying. She thought her hands were handcuffed and she couldn't get Angie off the ground, so she called for the doctor in panic.

"Angel, don't be afraid. Mom will be back soon. They just want me to go over and ask her questions. Nothing will happen to her."

"Mom, come back quickly. I'm scared by myself." Angel cried especially miserably. She was afraid, but she couldn't see her eyes now. Her mother and foster mother were captured one after the other, and no one was willing to take care of her anymore. However, what made her even more worried, was whether Zhao Gang and Lu Manyun would give her up or not. It would be pitiful if she became blind, so she didn't want to go to jail.

"En, Mom will be back soon. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Lu Manyun did not care about her own situation, and continued to settle down Anqi.

A police officer walked over and warned, "Ms. Lu, don't delay any longer, you must make us leave now."

Lu Manyun wiped her tears off as she was pushed into the police car to be carried away.

The matter had blown up like this. On the second day, all sorts of newspapers and magazines had the news that the opera's Queen Lu Manyun had been arrested by the Public Security Bureau for murder. In an instant, it had become the topic of gossip amongst the citizens.

Although the newspapers and magazines did not manage to enter Zhan Yan's ward, the commotion caused when the police came to the hospital to arrest people had almost shocked the entire hospital. At that time, Zhan Yan was standing in front of the french window as she silently watched Lu Manyun being brought up the carriage by the police.

Ji Weiyang stood behind her the entire time. He thought that Zhan Yan would ask, or even question her, but she didn't say anything. After the police car had left, she silently returned to his sickbed. Even Ji Weiyang was unable to guess what she was thinking.

On the other hand, after Lu Ruping found out about this, he reacted the most violently, scolding Lu Manyun for being worse than a beast. Wei Jingnian kept his head down the entire time, his aged face seemed to have become even more haggard.

He considered for an entire day, but in the end, he still decided to meet Lu Manyun. He thought that it was time to let her know the truth. Only then would Lu Manyun be willing to speak the truth. No matter who it was that wanted to murder Zhan Yan, he would make sure that she would be punished by the law and not be forgiven.

Under Ji Weiyang's arrangements, Wei Jingnian successfully entered the prison.

"Dad, it's inconvenient for me to meet Aunt Lu. You can go in by yourself, I'll wait for you here." Ji Weiyang stopped at the door and casually took out a cigarette, intending to smoke and wait at the same time.

Wei Jingnian nodded, and asked: "Did she plead guilty?"

"No. According to the confession, Aunt Lu said she had nothing at all. The specifics are still under investigation and won't be judged based on her words alone." Ji Weiyang replied calmly.

Wei Jingnian finally saw Lu Manyun again. She was escorted in by two police officers with ice-cold handcuffs on. As they sat facing each other, Lu Manyun didn't even bother to raise her eyes.

"What are you doing here? You want to watch me make fun of you? Wei Jingnian, I remember what I said at the time. We had better not interact with each other ever again. "

On the other hand, Wei Jingnian appeared to be extremely calm. He quietly looked at her, the vicissitudes of time had left faint traces in the corners of her eyes, they were no longer the same people. "Manyun, I know that you have hated me for all these years. I didn't come here for the matters between us. After all, so many years have passed and there is no way to find out who was in the right or wrong."

Lu Manyun clenched her teeth, and did not speak anymore.

After what had happened, Wei Jingnian had told her that she could call the police and that he was willing to pay the price for his mistakes. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of calling the police, but when her mother threatened his with death, she had no choice but to give up. Moreover, what her mother said didn't make sense either. She was, after all, an unmarried woman and an opera singer with a bit of a reputation. If things went wrong, Wei Jingnian would not only lose his life, but also his life.

After all, they were all drunk that night. He treated her as Ru Ping, and she mistook him for Ji Bocheng.

"Manyun, I just want to ask you one thing. Was Vice Dean Zhao trying to kill Zhan Yan at your instigation? Because you hate me, and therefore, want to take revenge on Zhan Yan? " Wei Jingnian asked.

And just as he finished speaking, Lu Manyun roared hysterically, "Wei Jingnian, are you delusional? If I wanted to take revenge on you, I would have done so 20 years ago. How many times do you all want me to tell you that I don't even know any Vice Dean Zhao, how could I bribe her to harm Zhan Yan? "

Wei Jingnian stared at her intently, he had looked better than any other expression on her face, but he did not find any flaw. If the current Lu Manyun was acting, then her acting skills were just too excellent.

"Well, I hope what you say is true. "Otherwise, Manyun, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"What do you mean?" Lu Manyun frowned and asked.

Wei Jingnian sighed. After pondering for a while, he said faintly, "Manyun, have you ever thought that your child might still be alive in this world?"

After saying that, Lu Manyun's face immediately changed, as she uncontrollably stood up from her chair, and pounced towards Wei Jingnian, "What did you say? Say that again? My child, is she not dead? She's still alive, isn't she? "

Her two hands tightly gripped onto Wei Jingnian's collar, strangling him to the point that he almost couldn't breathe. The two officers behind him anxiously walked over and scolded sternly, "Lu Manyun, hurry and sit down."

Lu Manyun was forcefully pushed back onto the chair, and after a long while, she finally started to calm down, and in front of her, Wei Jingnian held onto his neck with both of his hands, as he coughed fiercely.

He coughed for a good while, and only then did his voice gradually stop. He once again raised his head to look at Lu Manyun, and saw that her eyes were filled with tears.

"Actually, your child isn't dead yet. Back then, your mother-in-law was thinking about your reputation, so she didn't want this child to implicate you. That's why she lied to your child and died."

Lu Manyun opened her eyes wide and clenched her fists tightly. She had to endure it with all her might in order to not lose control of herself. So, my daughter, where is she now? Where did you get her? "

"That child, is Zhan Yan." Wei Jingnian said in a low and hoarse voice, enunciating every word.

It was as if Lu Manyun's soul had been sucked out of her body, causing him to lose all signs of life. "She shook her head in disbelief. Tears flowed down her cheeks." No, no, no! " "No." She repeated the word 'no' three times in a row, and buried her face in her palms. "How is this possible? She is the child of Ru Ping. She is clearly the daughter of Ru Ping …" Finally, she sobbed. Back then, she had clearly seen Lu Ruping getting pregnant at the same time as her and she had also seen Lu Ruping's checklist and how her stomach was swaying in front of her.

Even if it was inconceivable, she understood that at this moment in time, Wei Jingnian didn't need to lie to her.

"This was all your mother-in-law's idea, your mother-in-law allowed Ru Ping to pretend to be pregnant. From the moment you became pregnant with Zhan Yan, your mother-in-law had already planned everything. Zhan Yan, she is your biological daughter. "

Hearing that, Lu Manyun could not help but cry bitterly.

It turned out that the biological daughter that she had missed for over twenty years had always been right in front of her eyes. She had been helping Angel destroy Zhan Yan's marriage with Ji Weiyang the entire time. She had even personally handed over an organ donation agreement to Zhan Yan when she was on the verge of death, forcing her to sign it. While she was treating her well, she was also thinking about her cornea … She simply wasn't human. Was there a mother more shameless and more vicious than her in this world?

"Why, why is it like this? Why did you only tell me now! Zhan Yan, my daughter... " Lu Manyun slumped down from the chair and cried in pain. At this moment, she wished she could kill herself.

Wei Jingnian's heart was also in pain. He held his head with one hand, wanting to comfort his, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was choked in his throat. At this time, any words would become pale and powerless, unable to describe how Lu Manyun was feeling at this moment.

She just sat there on the ground, crying non-stop. Until her voice was hoarse and her tears dried up, she could no longer cry.

The silence in the house gradually died down, only then did Wei Jingnian open his mouth again, "Manyun, let me ask you one more time, did you order Vice Dean Zhao to kill Zhan Yan? I want to hear the truth. "

"No, I really didn't. You have to believe me." Lu Manyun patted her chest and guaranteed. Her face was covered with intersecting tears and she looked extremely miserable. However, her eyes and hoarse voice were sincere.

"I don't even know Vice Dean Zhao, so how could I possibly order her to harm Zhan Yan? Even if Zhan Yan wasn't my daughter, I would not have taken a life just to find a pair of eyes for Angel. I, Lu Manyun, wouldn't have lost my conscience. "

Wei Jingnian had no reason to not believe her, but if it wasn't Lu Manyun who instigated this, then what was the reason behind Vice Dean Zhao killing Zhan Yan? Could it be that the mastermind was not Lu Manyun, but Lu Anqi?

"Zhan Yan originally only had myocarditis, but Vice Dean Zhao's diagnosis was myocardial necrosis. Not only did it delay her disease, she also used medicine to worsen it. Now that Zhan Yan is really sick, although she shouldn't die, this disease will most likely follow her for life. Man Yun, we must bring justice to Zhan Yan. Tell us everything you know, and only then will the true culprit be able to act. "

Lu Manyun nodded heavily. Supporting her last bit of strength, she crawled up from the ground and sat back on her chair.

Following Wei Jingnian's instructions, the lawyer who was waiting outside walked in and tried to understand more about the case.

Lu Manyun wiped away the tears on her face and carefully recalled the events that had transpired. After the accident at Angel, I took care of her with all my might. I didn't even know when Zhan Yan got sick. That morning, Angel told me that Zhan Yan was going to die because of an incurable disease. She said that Zhan Yan was willing to donate the cornea to her and wanted me to go to the lawyer to work out an organ donation agreement. I didn't think too much about it at that time, because it was a good thing that someone had donated the cornea to my daughter, so of course I wouldn't reject it. "

"And then? Did Lu Anqi do anything special after that? Did she say anything special to you, or did she ever see anyone else? " The lawyer was bleeding. Obviously, if Lu Manyun was not the main culprit, then Lu Anqi was the biggest suspect.

As matters stood, Lu Manyun would not hide anything. After all, life was in danger, and if Angel really did that, she would be hurt. After all, she was the daughter who had raised her for so many years. Angie was a little selfish. She even asked me to donate corneas to her. The law forbade the removal of the cornea in vivo, and that was the end of the matter. Angel would occasionally reveal a little of her feelings, hoping that Zhan Yan would die a little earlier. Furthermore, Zhan Yan was also her rival in love. But she never mentioned anything about the Vice Dean, nor did she mention anything about harming Zhan Yan. "

"But that already constitutes her motive for murder." "The lawyer said in a straight face." You have been taking care of Lu Anqi in the hospital for so long, have you really not seen her in contact with Zhao Yu? "

"Nope." Lu Manyun nodded with certainty.

Lu Manyun did not seem to provide much valuable information. The lawyer turned off the recorder pen and said, "Ms. Lu, if you still have anything else on your mind, you must inform us immediately."

"Alright." Lu Manyun replied.

Wei Jingnian followed the lawyer and was about to leave, when Lu Manyun suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "When can I see my daughter? How is her condition now? "

Wei Jingnian turned his head, his gaze becoming much colder, "Which daughter are you talking about?"

Lu Manyun was startled, then understood what Wei Jingnian meant. That's right, An Qi and Zhan Yan were both her daughters, both of them in the hospital. But all this time, she had given all her love to Angie, and had even hurt her daughter.

Thinking up to here, she sat down limply on her chair, and muttered to herself, "Zhan Yan must hate me to death, I'm not even fit to be a mother."

When Wei Jingnian and the lawyer walked out of the prison, Ji Weiyang had been waiting outside the whole time. When he saw them come out, he casually extinguished the cigarette butt between his fingers. "How about it?"

The lawyer shook his head, "It seems that she really doesn't know anything. Nor did it provide valuable information. "

Ji Weiyang was quiet for a moment, then personally opened the car door and helped Wei Jingnian into the carriage.

The car slowly started, Wei Jingnian said, "Isn't there a surveillance recording in the hospital? It would be easy to tell if Zhao had come in contact with Lu Anqi just by looking at the video."

"Young Master Ji had already ordered someone to call out the recording. In the monitoring and maintenance department of the hospital a while ago, there were two periods where the video was blank. That's why, we were unable to confirm whether or not Zhao had come in contact with Lu Anqi." replied the lawyer.

Ji Weiyang held onto the steering wheel with one hand as he drove with rapt attention, but there was a cold and mocking smile on his face. Repair? What a coincidence. It was so coincidental that he wanted to cover it up.

The case fell into a stalemate, with Zhao Yifan insisting that it was Lu Manyun who was in charge, while Lu Manyun insisted that she did not know any Vice Dean Zhao at all. The two of them faced each other, and even though Zhao gave a straight look, Lu Manyun had a face full of bewilderment, but was unable to tell what was going on.

And at this time, in the neighboring room, Ji Weiyang and Tang Feng were staring intently at the monitoring screen.

"Who do you think is lying?" Tang Feng asked while snorting, and casually flicked the tip of his cigarette. No matter who these two people were lying to, their acting skills were at their best. It was because he couldn't see any flaws in them at all.

Ji Weiyang twiddled with the table, his gaze as cold as the sea, "One thing, when you can't see a flaw on the surface, you have to see the essence through the surface."
