Chapter 1041 Excuses
Back at the apartment, Jiang Mubai was still in shock. She curled up on the sofa, shivering like a frightened little animal. Cheng Yunchuan sat beside her and gently stroked her hair, "Don't be afraid, Mubai, I will always be with you."
Suddenly, Jiang Mubai seemed to have thought of something and sat up straight, "Yunchuan, do you think... someone is deliberately framing me?"
Cheng Yunchuan frowned, "I have also thought about this possibility. But who would do this? What is their purpose?"
Jiang Mubai shook her head. She didn't know. All of this was like a huge mystery that enveloped her heart and made her breathless.
At this moment, a piece of news suddenly broke out on TV: Lin Hai, the president of the famous entrepreneur Lin Group, was killed in a private villa in the suburbs. The police initially determined that it was homicide...
A photo flashed across the TV screen, and the person in the photo was none other than the woman in the mysterious package—Su Wan!
Jiang Mubai's eyes widened, her heart beating violently. She suddenly realized that she seemed to be involved in a huge conspiracy... and this conspiracy had only just revealed the tip of the iceberg.
Su Wan's face on the TV screen was pale and lifeless, completely different from the lively woman in Jiang Mubai's memory. Fear was like a cold snake, entwining Jiang Mubai's breath and almost suffocating her. Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tighter, resting his chin on the top of her head, stroking her back again and again. "It's okay, Mubai, I will find out everything." His voice was low and firm, like a beacon in the darkness, giving Jiang Mubai a little comfort.
But the words "It's okay" seemed so pale and powerless at this moment. Jiang Mubai trembled and raised his head from Cheng Yunchuan's arms, his eyes full of fear and helplessness. "Yunchuan, I'm scared... I feel like I'm being controlled by an invisible big hand, walking towards the abyss step by step..."
Cheng Yunchuan kissed her forehead distressedly, "Don't let your imagination run wild, Mu Bai. I will protect you and won't let you get hurt." He stood up, picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Azhe, help me check the relationship between Su Wan and Lin Hai, the more detailed the better."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yunchuan returned to Jiang Mubai and hugged her tightly. "Believe me, Mubai, I will find out the truth and clear your name."
In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan spent almost all his time investigating the affairs of Su Wan and Lin Hai. He used all his connections and finally found some clues.
It turns out that Su Wan is Lin Hai's lover. Lin Hai's wife is a ruthless woman. In order to maintain her position, she hired someone to kill Su Wan and created the illusion that Lin Hai committed suicide. The mysterious package was the letter for help that Su Wan sent to Jiang Mubai before she died.
However, this letter for help eventually became evidence to frame Jiang Mubai.
After learning the truth, Cheng Yunchuan was furious. He didn't expect that someone would be so vicious as to use a dead person to frame Jiang Mubai. He immediately handed the evidence to the police and asked them to reinvestigate the case.
The police investigation confirmed Cheng Yunchuan's inference. Lin Hai's wife was arrested, and Jiang Mubai was finally cleared of suspicion.
However, the story does not end there.
One night, Jiang Mubai received a strange phone call. "Ms. Jiang, I know you want revenge, right?" The voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse and cold, like a demon from hell.
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know who killed Amelia Su and who framed you."
"Who is it?" Jiang Mubai asked anxiously.
"Want to know? Then come and see me. I'll be waiting for you at 10 o'clock tomorrow night at the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Jiang Mubai held the phone, her palms cold. She didn't know who the other party was, nor what the other party's purpose was. But she knew that she had to go. For Su Wan, and for herself.
She told Cheng Yunchuan about this, but Cheng Yunchuan firmly opposed her taking the risk. "It's too dangerous, Mu Bai, I can't let you go."
"But, Yunchuan, I must go. I can't let Su Wanbai die, nor can I let the person who framed me go unpunished." Jiang Mubai's tone was firm and unquestionable.
Cheng Yunchuan knew that he couldn't stop Jiang Mubai. He could only hug her tightly and said, "Promise me, Mubai, you must be careful."
The next night, Jiang Mubai arrived at the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city as agreed. The factory was dark, with only a few dim street lamps emitting a faint light, making the surrounding scene even more eerie and terrifying.
Jiang Mubai's heart beat faster and faster, and she felt like she had walked into another world, a world full of danger and unknown.
Suddenly, a dark shadow walked out from the darkness, holding a dagger that was shining with cold light in its hand... and that face was... Cheng Yunchuan's assistant, Azhe!
Ah Zhe's face looked particularly hideous in the dim light, and his twisted smile was like a demon crawling out of hell. "Miss Jiang, long time no see." His voice was no longer respectful as before, but full of ridicule and malice.
Jiang Mubai took a step back in horror, "Azhe, why...why are you doing this?"
Ah Zhe sneered, "Why? Of course it was for money! Lin Hai's wife gave me a large sum of money to kill Su Wan and then frame you. It's a pity that you are lucky enough not to die."
"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Mubai couldn't believe what he heard, "Yunchuan trusted you so much, why did you betray him?"
"Betrayal? Haha, who is Cheng Yunchuan! He's just a fool who was played around by me! Did he think he really found out the truth? What he found out was just what I wanted him to find out." Azhe laughed arrogantly, like a king who controlled everything.
"You...you lied to me..." Jiang Mubai felt that her world was collapsing. The person she had always trusted had actually been deceiving her.
"Laughing at you? Hahaha, there is no such thing as true love in this world. It's just a naked exchange of interests!" Ah Zhe raised the dagger and approached Jiang Mubai step by step, "Miss Jiang, just go and die obediently! This way, I can get another sum of money!"
At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and kicked Azhe away. "Mubai, are you okay?" A familiar voice sounded in Jiang Mubai's ears. She looked up and saw that it was Cheng Yunchuan!
Cheng Yunchuan protected Jiang Mubai behind him and stared coldly at Azhe who was lying on the ground. "Azhe, you really disappoint me."
Ah Zhe struggled to get up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Cheng Yunchuan, stop pretending here! Do you think I don't know? You have wanted to get rid of me for a long time, but you just can't find an excuse!"
