Chapter 1020 Tired Eyes

She clung to the cold concrete floor, smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, and fear coiled around her heart like an icy snake. The power outage lasted only a few seconds, and the emergency lights flashed a green light, illuminating the shocking scene before her.

Sophie collapsed to the ground, her chest was bloodshot, and the dagger fell beside her, staining the ground red. Jiang Xinyu was still tied to the chair, her eyes wide open in horror, tears falling silently. Lu Jingshen stood not far away, holding a gun in his hand, with smoke coming out of the muzzle.

"Depth of Field...it's you...you killed Sophie?" Jiang Mubai's voice trembled as he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Lu Jingshen slowly put down the gun, his eyes complicated, and said nothing.

Cheng Yunchuan helped Jiang Mubai up and protected her behind him, looking around vigilantly. "Take Xinyu away from here first."

The police quickly took control of the scene and medical staff rushed to rescue Sophie, but it was too late. Sophie died, leaving the world forever with her twisted love and hatred.

After returning home, Jiang Xinyu hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, her body still shaking. "Mom, I'm scared..."

Jiang Mubai hugged her daughter lovingly, patted her back, and comforted her softly, "It's okay, Xinyu, everything is over. Mom will always protect you."

Cheng Yunchuan stood aside, watching the mother and daughter hugging each other, his eyes full of tenderness. He walked to Jiang Mubai and gently hugged her shoulders, "Mubai, you are tired too, go and have a rest."

Jiang Mubai raised her head and met Cheng Yunchuan's gentle gaze. The fear and uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated. She nodded, leaning into his embrace, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him.

In the next few days, Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan stayed by Jiang Xinyu's side, trying to help her get out of this nightmare. However, the scene of Lu Jingshen shooting and killing Sophie always lingered in Jiang Mubai's mind. She couldn't understand why Lu Jingshen, who was always gentle and elegant, would do such an impulsive thing?

One night, Cheng Yunchuan came home and saw Jiang Mubai sitting on the balcony, staring at the night sky in a daze. He walked over, sat down beside her, and gently put his arm around her shoulders.

"Still thinking about Lu Jingshen?"

Jiang Mubai nodded, "I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. Although Sophie is crazy, she should not really hurt Xinyu. She just wants to force you to submit..."

Cheng Yunchuan was silent for a moment, then said, "The police have closed the case and determined that Lu Jingshen acted in self-defense and that Sophie's death was his own fault."

"But..." Jiang Mubai hesitated to speak. She always felt that things were not that simple.

Cheng Yunchuan held her face and looked into her eyes gently. "Mubai, I know you still have a lot of questions in your mind, but the most important thing now is your and Xinyu's safety. Leave the rest to the police."

His kiss fell gently on her lips, gentle and lingering, as if to suck away all her anxiety and fear. Jiang Mubai closed her eyes and responded to his kiss, feeling the warmth and sense of security coming from him.

However, at this moment, Jiang Mubai's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the moment of tranquility. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Jiang Mubai answered the phone.

"Ms. Jiang, I'm Lu Jingshen's lawyer. I want to talk to you about something, about Sophie's death..."

Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind...

Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly contracted, and her fingertips were cold. Lu Jingshen's lawyer? Regarding Sophie's death... Is there any hidden secret? She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm. "Okay, tell me a time and place."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai told Cheng Yunchuan what happened. Cheng Yunchuan frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. "I'll go with you."

"No need," Jiang Mubai shook his head, "I can go by myself, you stay and accompany Xinyu."

Cheng Yunchuan wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Mubai's determined eyes, he finally gave in. "Okay, then be careful, and call me immediately if anything happens." He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "I'll wait for you to come back."

The next day, Jiang Mubai came to a coffee shop as agreed. Lu Jingshen's lawyer was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking smart and capable. He said straight to the point: "Ms. Jiang, I know you have doubts about Mr. Lu shooting and killing Sophie. In fact, there is another hidden story behind this matter."

The lawyer took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Jiang Mubai. "This is the suicide note that Sophie left before she died. It clearly states that if she encounters an accident, all her property will be donated to a charity, and Mr. Lu is the only executor."

Jiang Mubai took the suicide note and quickly read it, his face becoming paler. If Sophie's death was a suicide disguised as a homicide, then wouldn't Lu Jingshen become a scapegoat?

"Mr. Lu chose to shoot because he discovered Sophie's suicide plan," the lawyer continued. "He knew that if Sophie committed suicide, her property would not be donated according to her wishes, so he chose another way to make Sophie's death look like an accident, so as to preserve her last wish."

Jiang Mubai felt her brain was in a mess. She couldn't believe that Lu Jingshen, who was always gentle and polite, would do such a thing, but the lawyer's words seemed reasonable.

"Ms. Jiang, I know this is hard to accept, but it is the truth," the lawyer sighed, "Mr. Lu has been detained by the police now, and he needs your help."

Jiang Mubai was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "I need time to think about it."

After leaving the cafe, Jiang Mubai walked aimlessly on the street, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Did Lu Jingshen really shoot to fulfill Sophie's last wish? Or was there something else going on? She didn't know who to trust, nor did she know what to do.

After returning home, Jiang Mubai saw Cheng Yunchuan playing games with Jiang Xinyu, with a gentle smile on his face. At that moment, she suddenly felt extremely tired. She didn't want to pursue the truth anymore, she just wanted to protect the happiness in front of her.

However, fate did not seem to let her go. That night, Jiang Mubai received an anonymous text message with only a photo of Lu Jingshen and Sophie in a hotel room, behaving intimately.

Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. Could it be that there was really some unspeakable secret between Lu Jingshen and Sophie? With trembling fingers, she dialed the lawyer's number...

"Hello?" The lawyer's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
