Chapter 1519: Chapter 1509: Strength

In the bedroom, Mu Yan had just laid down when she received a call from Jiang Wenhui.

"Nuannuan, something terrible has happened."

Mu Yan sat up and asked, "Elder sister, what happened? Is it about Grandfather..."

"It’s not Grandfather, it’s Aunt, she’s been taken away by the police!"

Police? Mu Yan was a bit shocked, "What happened?"

"It seems she is accused of murder. The police just called the house. Aunt is an orphan and has no other relatives in Upper City, only Jing Heng and Uncle. Uncle is abroad arranging medical treatment for Grandfather, and Jing Heng is unreachable, so I had to call you."

"What can I do?" Mu Yan hesitated, "Should I get her bailed out?"

"If you don’t want to step in, I can help you. However, I’m worried Aunt might misunderstand my intentions and not accept my help."

"I understand, I’ll handle it," Mu Yan replied.

"Will this be too much trouble for you, given your relationship with Jing Heng..."

"He’s him, his mom is his mom. Even though I don’t really like her, principles are principles. But whether to bail her out or not, I need to see the exact situation. I’ll contact my lawyer right now."

Mu Yan hung up and immediately prepared to call Song Cheng’an, but remembering he was not in the country, she called Kong Yanzi instead.

"My mother-in-law has been arrested; find a reliable lawyer and come with me to the police station."

"I don’t know the details either, I’ll explain on the way." Mu Yan hung up the phone and got up to pack her things.

About half an hour later, Kong Yanzi came to pick her up to go to the police station.

By the time Mu Yan arrived, Yin Manqing had already been bailed out, and her trip was in vain.

Nonetheless, she asked Yin Manqing why she had been arrested this time.

"Wasn’t this case already closed?"

Due to Zhuang Zeyang’s involvement, the police treated Mu Yan with great courtesy.

"Now the victim’s side has provided new evidence directly implicating Ms. Yin Manqing in hiring someone to commit murder. We’re just following procedure by bringing her in for questioning; further developments will depend on the actual investigation."

Mu Yan nodded, "Thank you."

Upon leaving the police station, Kong Yanzi saw her serious expression and asked, "Do you want me to help investigate?"

"No." Mu Yan shook her head.

"Hmm?" Kong Yanzi looked at her in confusion.

Since she made the trip, it showed she was concerned about the case, so didn’t she want to get to the bottom of it?

The bodyguard opened the car door as they approached.

Mu Yan got into the car and said quietly, "As a daughter-in-law, even though I don’t like my mother-in-law, knowing she’s involved in a murder case, I definitely won’t stand by. Once I learned she has the means to bail herself out, I naturally won’t interfere."

Kong Yanzi glanced at her, but this was in the context of her completely severing ties with Jiang Jingheng, yet clearly she couldn’t let him go.

No, she was creating a fa?ade all along.

"What are you planning?" Kong Yanzi asked.

"It’s not about what I’m planning, I want to know what the person behind this is planning," Mu Yan said calmly.

Kong Yanzi pondered for a moment and said, "So, you weren’t really intending to return to Italy with us?"

"If you’re acting, you have to go all the way."

Kong Yanzi chuckled, "You’re really like great-aunt, both of you can bide your time."

Mu Yan shook her head, "No one is naturally calm, it’s just that when you grow up and have responsibilities, you have no choice but to be calm."

Kong Yanzi raised an eyebrow, "Having responsibilities means growing up, but for a man, you have to grow up. Don’t you think it’s not worth it?"

"That depends on whether I want to grow up," Mu Yan said indifferently.

Kong Yanzi lightly laughed, "Some say women become blind and weak from love, but I think you’ve become stronger instead."

Mu Yan said nothing, turning her head to look out the window.

Because she also wants to be a significant figure in his life, not because of his love, but because of her effort and dedication.
