Chapter 1135 The Mother-Murderer
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale instantly, he staggered back a step and almost fell down. Jiang Mubai quickly supported him, tears streaming down his face.
Cheng Yunchuan's mother eventually left this world.
In the following days, Cheng Yunchuan seemed to have lost his soul and became numb. He mechanically handled his mother's funeral without a trace of expression on his face. Jiang Mubai stayed by his side, silently taking care of him and comforting him.
After the funeral, Cheng Yunchuan locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone. Jiang Mubai was worried about him, so he knocked on the door gently.
"Yunchuan, it's me."
There was no response from the room.
Jiang Mubai knocked on the door again, "Yunchuan, can you open the door?"
After a long time, the door finally opened. Cheng Yunchuan stood at the door, his face pale and his eyes empty.
Jiang Mubai looked at him distressedly, walked up to him, and hugged him gently. "Yunchuan, I know you are sad, but you can't go on like this. Auntie in heaven doesn't want to see you like this."
Cheng Yunchuan didn't say anything, just held her quietly, letting his tears flow silently.
Jiang Mubai gently stroked his hair and said softly: "Yunchuan, you still have me. I will always be with you."
Cheng Yunchuan's body was trembling slightly. He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
"Mu Bai," his voice was hoarse and low, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of losing you."
Jiang Mubai's heart trembled suddenly. She raised her head, looked into Cheng Yunchuan's eyes, and said seriously: "I will not leave you, never."
A gleam flashed in Cheng Yunchuan's eyes, and he lowered his head and kissed Jiang Mubai's lips. This kiss was full of sadness, despair, and deep love.
The two hugged each other tightly, finding comfort in each other's arms.
However, the gears of fate never stopped turning. At this moment, an unexpected news came, which completely broke their short peace.
Lu Ziyang is dead.
The police initially determined that it was suicide, but Jiang Mubai always felt that things were not that simple. Lu Ziyang's death was like a time bomb, planting a seed of uneasiness in her heart.
What made her even more uneasy was that Cheng Yunchuan seemed to have noticed something. He became silent and often sat by the window alone, staring into the distance in a daze.
One night, Jiang Mubai found an unread text message on Cheng Yunchuan's phone.
"I know how your mother died."
The sender is from an unknown number.
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and he had a premonition that a bigger storm was coming...
Jiang Mubai held the phone, her fingertips were cold. The content of the text message was like a thorn, piercing her heart, making her feel uneasy. Cheng Yunchuan's mother died suddenly. Although the doctor said it was due to worsening of the disease, she always felt that something was wrong.
She secretly took a screenshot of the text message and saved it, then deleted it and pretended nothing had happened. She didn't know whether she should tell Cheng Yunchuan, as she was afraid that the news would cause him a greater blow.
Cheng Yunchuan has become more silent these days. He is like a wounded beast, licking his wounds and resisting everything from the outside world. Jiang Mubai knows that he needs time to digest the sadness of his mother's death.
That night, Cheng Yunchuan sat by the window, looking at the dark night sky with empty eyes. Jiang Mubai walked behind him and hugged him gently.
"Yunchuan, are you okay?"
Cheng Yunchuan didn't answer, but just sighed softly.
"I know you're sad," Jiang Mubai leaned his head on his shoulder, "but you can't go on like this. You still have me, and there are many people who love you."
Cheng Yunchuan turned around and hugged Jiang Mubai tightly in his arms, "Mubai, I'm scared. I'm scared of losing you."
Jiang Mubai's heart ached as if being stabbed by a needle, "Silly boy, I won't leave you, never."
A trace of pain flashed in Cheng Yunchuan's eyes. "If, I mean if, one day I become a person you hate, what will you do?"
Jiang Mubai was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why Cheng Yunchuan asked this. "How did you become someone I hate?"
Cheng Yunchuan didn't answer, but just hugged her even tighter.
The next day, Jiang Mubai received a strange phone call.
"Miss Jiang, I want to talk to you about Cheng Yunchuan's mother."
Jiang Mubai's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that this call was related to the text message.
"who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I know something that interests you." The other party's voice was low and hoarse. "If you want to know the truth, come to the cafe. I'll wait for you."
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. She had a hunch that this call might reveal some hidden secrets.
Arriving at the coffee shop, Jiang Mubai immediately saw the man sitting in the corner. He was wearing a hat with the brim pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.
Jiang Mubai walked over and sat down opposite him. "Who are you? What do you know?"
The man raised his head, revealing a strange face. He took off his hat, revealing his gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles, looking very weathered.
"I am the attending physician of Cheng Yunchuan's mother."
Jiang Mubai looked at him in shock. "What did you say? Didn't you say..."
"I lied." The doctor interrupted Jiang Mubai, "Cheng Yunchuan's mother did not die from worsening of her illness, but was murdered."
Jiang Mubai's mind went blank. She felt like she had fallen into a huge whirlpool and couldn't breathe.
"Who? Who killed her?"
The doctor was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "It's... Cheng Yunchuan."
Jiang Mubai felt the blood coagulate in her veins, and the world twisted before her eyes. Cheng Yunchuan, the gentle and considerate man who took good care of her, was actually the murderer of her mother?
"Impossible!" Jiang Mubai stood up suddenly, his voice trembling, "You must be lying to me!"
The doctor looked at her calmly, with a trace of compassion in his eyes. "I know it's hard to accept, but it's the truth. I have evidence." He took out a USB drive from his pocket and placed it on the table. "It contains surveillance footage that can prove everything."
Jiang Mubai picked up the USB drive with trembling hands, and it felt like a red-hot iron, burning her skin.
"Why?" Jiang Mubai fell weakly into the chair, tears blurring her vision, "Why did he do this?"
The doctor sighed, "Cheng Yunchuan's mother has always been against them being together. She thinks you are not worthy of him. She even threatened to sever their mother-son relationship. Cheng Yunchuan acted impulsively..."
Jiang Mubai's heart seemed to be torn into pieces. She couldn't understand or accept it. The man she loved so much actually killed his own mother for her.
