Chapter 957 Unbelievable
Jiang Mubai widened his eyes and looked at Father Cheng in disbelief.
"Who is it?" she asked tremblingly.
Father Cheng did not answer directly, but took out a document from the drawer and handed it to her.
"See for yourself."
Jiang Mubai took the document, turned to the first page, and saw a familiar photo - Lin Wan'er.
"Lin Wan'er?" Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng's father in confusion.
"She ordered someone to shoot." Cheng's father's tone was cold and emotionless. "She was jealous of your relationship with Yunchuan, so..."
"No! Impossible!" Jiang Mubai stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly, "Wan'er would never do that! She has always regarded Yunchuan as her best friend!"
Father Cheng looked at her with complicated eyes: "Mu Bai, I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is all true. This document contains all the evidence."
Jiang Mubai fell into the chair, and the documents in her hand fell to the ground. She felt her world was collapsing. Her most trusted friend turned out to be the murderer of the person she loved the most?
Father Cheng walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently: "I know you are sad, but you must be strong. Yunchuan's spirit in heaven would not want to see you like this."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng's father, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.
"I will." She said word by word, "I will avenge Yunchuan!"
Father Cheng looked at her with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
"Okay," he said, "I'll help you."
However, at this moment, a servant ran in in a panic, his face pale: "Master, it's bad! Miss Jiang... Miss Jiang..."
"What's wrong with her?" Cheng's father's face changed and he asked hurriedly.
The servant stammered, "Miss Jiang...she's gone!"
After the servant left, the study was dead silent. Father Cheng sat back in his chair dejectedly, rubbing his temples with a frown on his face. "Damn it! This woman!" He cursed in a low voice, his tone full of anxiety and anger. Cheng Yunchuan's death had already made him anxious, and now Jiang Mubai was missing again, which was simply adding insult to injury. He stood up suddenly and shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone! Send someone to look for her! We must find her even if we have to dig three feet underground!"
At the same time, Jiang Mubai had already left the Cheng family villa. She did not have a mental breakdown, on the contrary, she was unusually calm. The "evidence" that Cheng's father handed to her was full of loopholes, and she didn't believe that Lin Wan'er would do such a thing. They grew up together, and she knew Lin Wan'er's feelings for Cheng Yunchuan very well. Rather than admiring him, it was more like a dependence on him like a brother. She never believed that Lin Wan'er would kill someone out of jealousy.
Jiang Mubai drove to Lin Wan'er's residence. This was a duplex apartment full of artistic atmosphere, usually full of laughter and joy, but now the door was closed, revealing a dead smell.
"Ding-dong-"
The doorbell rang for a long time before a sleepy servant came to open the door. When the servant saw that it was Jiang Mubai, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Ms. Jiang...Ms. Jiang?"
"Is Wan'er here?" Jiang Mubai tried his best to make his tone sound calmer.
The servant stammered, "Ms. Lin...she...she is not at home."
Jiang Mubai saw through the servant's lies at a glance. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said sternly, "Tell the truth."
The servant was frightened by her aura and dared not hide it any longer: "Ms. Lin...she locked herself in the room and didn't see anyone. Since...since Mr. Cheng's accident, she has been like this..."
Jiang Mubai's heart sank. She pushed the servant aside and walked straight to Lin Wan'er's room.
"Wan'er, open the door, it's me."
There was no response in the room, only intermittent sounds of suppressed sobs.
Jiang Mubai emphasized his tone: "Wan'er, I know you are in there, open the door! Tell me, what happened?"
After a long time, the door finally opened with a click. Lin Wan'er appeared at the door, her face pale, her eyes red and swollen, and her whole body haggard. When she saw Jiang Mubai, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and suddenly threw herself into Jiang Mubai's arms and burst into tears.
"Mu Bai...Yun Chuan...he..."
Jiang Mubai hugged her tightly, patted her back, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, Wan'er, it's okay..."
After Lin Wan'er's emotions had stabilized a little, Jiang Mubai began to ask about what happened that night.
"That night... I received a call..." Lin Wan'er's voice trembled, "A strange man... He said... He said Yunchuan was in danger... and asked me to go to the dock..."
"And then?" Jiang Mubai asked.
"I... I went... but... but when I got there... Yunchuan... he was already..." Lin Wan'er burst into tears and could no longer speak.
"Do you know who that man is?"
Lin Wan'er shook her head: "I don't know... His voice is strange... I have never heard it before..."
Jiang Mubai realized that things were far more complicated than she had imagined. Lin Wan'er was probably framed. That mysterious phone call was the key to unlocking the truth.
"Do you remember that phone number?"
Lin Wan'er tried hard to recall, but finally shook her head: "No... I don't remember... I was too flustered at the time..."
The clue was broken. Jiang Mubai felt frustrated. But she did not give up. She believed that as long as she persisted in tracking down the case, she would be able to find out the truth and avenge Cheng Yunchuan!
She comforted Lin Wan'er and left the apartment. Just as she was about to drive away, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a black car parked opposite the apartment. The windows were closed and she couldn't see the people inside. But she felt like she had seen this car somewhere before...
At this moment, the car window slowly lowered, revealing a familiar face - Father Cheng. He was staring at Jiang Mubai coldly, with a meaningful smile on his lips...
Jiang Mubai's heart skipped a beat, as if being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. Father Cheng? Why is he here? His eyes, cold, scrutinizing, even with a hint of... hostility? A series of questions exploded in her mind like exploding fireworks. She pushed open the car door, her high heels tapping the ground, making a crisp sound, and walked towards Father Cheng step by step.
When Cheng's father saw her coming, he was not at all flustered, but even more indifferent, with impatience written all over his rigid face. "What are you doing here?" His voice was low and hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against metal, harsh and unpleasant.
Jiang Mubai looked straight at him, not afraid at all: "I should be the one asking you this, Mr. Cheng. Why are you here?"
Father Cheng sneered: "Do I need to report to you where I am? But do you appear here and have anything to do with Yunchuan's death?"
His sharp eyes pierced Jiang Mubai like a knife. Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "I came to see Wan'er. She is Yunchuan... Cheng Yunchuan's friend. Now he is in trouble, and Wan'er is not in a good condition."
