Chapter 1029 Completely Let Go
When the woman saw Jiang Mubai, she grabbed her hand and said with a sob, "Mubai, you must help me! Yunchuan...he didn't commit suicide! He was killed by Li Cheng!"
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't expect to hear such words from Cheng Yunchuan's mother. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Mother Cheng pulled her into the house, speaking incoherently: "Yunchuan has always been very filial, he can't commit suicide! I know he's been in a bad mood recently because Li Cheng has been forcing him! Li Cheng wants the company and everything from Yunchuan! Yunchuan refused, so he..."
Mother Cheng covered her face and burst into tears. Jiang Mubai patted her back gently, her heart in turmoil. She remembered Cheng Yunchuan's distraught look that day, and remembered him saying that Li Cheng wanted him to admit that the child was not his. Could it be... Could it be that Cheng Yunchuan was really forced to death by Li Cheng?
"Mubai, you must help me! You must find the murderer and avenge Yunchuan!" Mother Cheng held Jiang Mubai's hand tightly, as if she was grabbing the last straw.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and nodded: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth!"
After Cheng's mother left, Jiang Mubai sat on the sofa alone, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She was almost certain that Cheng Yunchuan's death was related to Li Cheng. But she had no evidence, and she was in danger now, so how could she fight against Li Cheng?
The news about Cheng Yunchuan was still playing on TV. Li Cheng cried bitterly in front of the camera, pretending to be a grieving person who had lost a close friend. Jiang Mubai looked at his face and felt a strong sense of nausea.
She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, is this a private detective? I need you to help me investigate someone..."
In the next few days, Jiang Mubai dealt with Cheng Yunchuan's funeral while secretly investigating Li Cheng. She found that Li Cheng was a successful businessman on the surface, but he was doing many shameful things behind the scenes. He was not only suspected of commercial fraud, but also had ties with the underworld.
What shocked Jiang Mubai even more was that she discovered that the deaths of Li Cheng and Cheng Yunchuan were actually related to a bigger conspiracy...
One night, Jiang Mubai received a text message from an unfamiliar number: "Do you want to know the real cause of Cheng Yunchuan's death? See you at Starlight Pier at 10 o'clock tonight."
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to keep the appointment. She felt that this might be her only chance to uncover the truth.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Mubai arrived at the Xingguang Pier on time. There was no one on the pier, only the dim street lights emitted a faint light. Jiang Mubai's heart was beating fast, and she felt like she had walked into a trap.
Suddenly, a dark figure walked out from the darkness. Jiang Mubai took a step back cautiously and asked, "Who are you?"
The shadow slowly approached, revealing his face under the street light. Jiang Mubai was surprised to find that this person was... Li Cheng!
Li Cheng had a sinister smile on his face as he approached Jiang Mubai step by step. "Jiang Mubai, you didn't expect it, did you? It's me!"
Jiang Mubai tried to remain calm and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you want to kill Cheng Yunchuan?"
Li Cheng laughed loudly, his eyes full of madness. "Why? Because he's blocking my way! He has everything I want! I hate him! I wish he would die!"
"You are such a lunatic!" Jiang Mubai shouted angrily.
"Mad man? Maybe." Li Cheng shrugged, "But soon you will become a mad man like me!" As he said that, he took out a dagger from his pocket and approached Jiang Mubai step by step...
At this moment, several police cars roared in, and the dazzling lights illuminated the entire dock. Li Cheng's face changed drastically, and he turned around and wanted to run.
However, before he could run a few steps, he was surrounded by police.
"Li Cheng, you are under arrest!" a policeman shouted.
Li Cheng closed his eyes in despair. He knew that everything was over.
Jiang Mubai looked at Li Cheng being taken away by the police, feeling mixed emotions. She finally avenged Cheng Yunchuan, but she didn't feel relieved at all.
Suddenly, she felt someone patting her shoulder from behind. She turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure standing behind her...
Jiang Mubai was stunned, his heart skipped a beat. He turned around slowly, and the person he saw was Cheng Yunchuan!
He was thinner and more haggard, with blue stubble on his chin, but his gentle eyes were still as he remembered them, with a warmth that could melt all the ice and snow.
All of a sudden, all kinds of emotions surged into her heart like a tide, shock, confusion, ecstasy, grievance... Jiang Mubai's eyes instantly turned red, and tears burst out. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the person in front of her who she could hardly believe was real, but she was afraid that this was just a dream, and when she woke up, everything would return to the cold reality.
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. "Xiaobai, I'm back." His voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Jiang Mubai hugged him tightly, feeling his real body temperature, listening to his familiar heartbeat, and the fear, sadness, and despair accumulated in her heart finally found an outlet at this moment. She burst into tears, crying like a child.
Cheng Yunchuan patted her back gently, one by one, as if he was coaxing a child who had been wronged. "It's okay, Xiaobai, I'm back, and I will never leave you again."
After a long time, Jiang Mubai's emotions gradually calmed down. She raised her head, her vision blurred by tears, but she could still clearly see the distress on Cheng Yunchuan's face. "You...you are not dead?" She asked with a sob, her voice very hoarse.
Cheng Yunchuan gently wiped the tears from her face and smiled gently. "Silly, how could I die? I just... hid."
"Hide?" Jiang Mubai was even more confused. "Why hide? Li Cheng..."
"Shh..." Cheng Yunchuan put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet. "This is a long story. Let's leave here first."
He took Jiang Mubai's hand and walked towards a black car parked not far away.
In the car, Cheng Yunchuan briefly explained what happened. It turned out that he had long been aware of Li Cheng's hostility towards him and suspected that Li Cheng was secretly playing tricks. In order to find out the truth and to protect Jiang Mubai, he planned this "fake death".
"I asked a person who looked similar to me to attend the event in my place, and then I secretly investigated Li Cheng," Cheng Yunchuan said. "Li Cheng was more cunning than I thought. He was involved in a huge criminal group. It took me a lot of effort to collect enough evidence."
"So, you came back this time..." Jiang Mubai asked.
"I'm here to solve this matter once and for all." A cold light flashed in Cheng Yunchuan's eyes, "Li Cheng, and those people behind him, I won't let any of them go!"
