CHAPTER 461: CHAPTER 461: THE MOTIVE FOR MURDER

Wen Shurou’s eyes gradually reddened as she shook her head sorrowfully.

"I haven’t let go... It’s really embarrassing to say, but I truly don’t want his condition to get any worse. Divine Doctor, you must cure him."

"Doesn’t anyone else in the Mu Family know about the relationship between the three of them?"

"No one knows, only I am aware. The existence of Nangong Chun has also always been a knot in our hearts."

Yan Qianyi nodded thoughtfully, "Oh... Don’t worry, I will protect the patient’s privacy. Knowing this now gives me a better understanding of his inner world, which is indeed very helpful for the treatment."

"That’s good if it helps."

"Then the brotherly affection between the second young master and the third young master must have already broken due to Nangong Chun," Yan Qianyi asked.

"Yes, the two brothers have long been at odds with each other in private."

"That’s strange..."

"What’s strange?"

"If their brotherly affection has already soured, then why, over ten years ago, when the second young master saw the third young master fall from the building, was he so traumatized? I thought it was because their brotherly bond was too strong to accept the blow, which left him with post-traumatic symptoms."

Hearing this, Wen Shurou also wore a puzzled look on her face.

After thinking for a while, she said, "It probably couldn’t be said that their brotherhood was completely shattered. Before Nangong Chun appeared, their affection for each other was indeed very strong. Maybe it was a mix of love and hate? The conflicting emotions led to his current psychological illness. He feels very guilty for not having saved his younger brother back then."

"Hmm, that makes sense. The inner conflict and guilt, sorrow and love and hate, a mix of such complex emotions can overwhelm the average person."

Wen Shurou sighed, "I’m also responsible. I used to argue with him a lot about the issue with Nangong Chun, which probably also agitated him. Now, I just hope that he can be mentally healthy and recover soon."

"Madam, rest assured, he will recover."

"Really?" Wen Shurou looked overjoyed.

"Of course. The things you’ve told me are very helpful for his treatment. I promise I can bring him back to being a normal person."

"That’s great, I’m so thankful for you! But... if he finds out that I’ve told you these things, won’t that agitate him more?"

"You don’t need to worry about that. I won’t mention these things in front of him. Although there is exposure therapy in psychology, which makes patients confront their pain, I will use other methods, such as subliminal suggestions, along with medication and acupuncture to help him recover."

"Wonderful!" Wen Shurou let out a long sigh of relief.

Ever since the Divine Doctor had mentioned that Mu Chen’s condition could worsen into a severe mental illness, she had been extremely anxious.

It was only after much inner struggle that she decided to disclose these old memories to the Divine Doctor.

If it could make Mu Chen better, she was willing to do anything!

Yan Qianyi glanced at her bracelet and said, "It’s about time for me to leave. If there’s anything else you need to cooperate with, I’ll ask you later."

"Okay, if you have any questions just ask. I will cooperate with you fully!"

Yan Qianyi nodded.

Who would have thought that Wen Shurou was also a pitiable woman who loved hopelessly.

The information she had provided was unexpected yet made perfect sense.

Previously, she and Ah Lie had been puzzled about Mu Chen’s motive for harming Mu Feng.

After all, it was said that the two brothers had a good relationship, and neither of them was the eldest son of the Mu Family, with no dispute over inheritance rights.

But now, everything made sense.

Brothers turned against each other for a woman, and Mu Chen harbored a grudge in his heart, which led to murderous intentions.

Based on Mu Ziqing’s statement, it was now certain that Mu Chen was the murderer.

The words Wen Shurou spoke were secretly recorded by her, and with a bit more physical evidence, she would be able to expose Mu Chen’s crimes to his face.

After leaving the Mu Family, Yan Qianyi took a taxi to the Yan Family home.

This was her first return since last leaving the Yan Family.

When he saw her, Yan Hong was first shocked, then immediately put on a disgusted face, "Why have you come back?"

Having had the Yan Group snatched away by Yan Qianyi, Yan Hong held a grudge in his heart.

At first, he tried to ingratiate himself with Yan Qianyi, but later realized that no matter how much he tried to please and apologize, Yan Qianyi no longer regarded him as her father.

He couldn’t be bothered to show a pleasant face to Yan Qianyi anymore.

"I’ve come back for my mother’s belongings," Yan Qianyi asked, "Where are they?"

She knew her mother’s belongings were still here.

When Han Yarong tried to drive her out from the Yan Family home previously, she had mentioned for her to take all her mother’s things with her.

"They’re all in the basement, go get them yourself," Yan Hong said, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, displaying a disinterested attitude towards Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi couldn’t be bothered with him either, and headed straight for the basement.

The basement was filled with stuff, and there was a lot of dust. As soon as Yan Qianyi walked in, the dust in the air made her cough a few times.

She took out the black mask she had used earlier at the Mu Family house and put it on, then began searching.

Her mother had liked to use the most traditional method to keep a diary; there should be her mother’s diaries among her belongings.

While she was searching, the voice of Old Lady Yan came from behind, "Qianyi, what are you doing here? There’s so much dust, you’re pregnant now, get out quickly!"

"It’s okay, Grandma, I’m looking for my mother’s things."

"If you’re looking for something, let the servants find it, hurry up and get out," Old Lady Yan said as she stepped forward to pull Yan Qianyi.

"It’s fine, I’ll find it myself."

Old Lady Yan suddenly paused, sizing up Yan Qianyi with a look of astonishment, "Qianyi, you look so much like the Masked Divine Doctor with that mask on!"

Yan Qianyi quickly took off her mask and laughed, "Maybe all beautiful women’s eyes look alike."

"Flattering yourself," Old Lady Yan didn’t think much of it and glanced at Yan Qianyi, "Hurry up and put it back on, the dust is thick."

"I won’t wear it, it’s not breathable, it’s even more stifling."

"What are you trying to find of your mother’s?" Old Lady Yan asked, "Let me think if it’s still here. I was the one who had your mother’s belongings brought here, I should have some recollection."

"You had people bring it here?"

"Yes," Old Lady Yan said, sighing as she looked at those belongings, "At the time, Han Yarong wanted to throw away all your mother’s belongings. You hadn’t woken up yet, and your brother couldn’t return from the Morris Empire. I thought I had to keep something for you two kids, otherwise, when you woke up, there would be no trace of your mother left in this home."

Yan Qianyi was astonished, "I thought it was Yan Hong who dumped them here..."

While her mother was alive, the old lady didn’t like her.

She didn’t expect that in the end, it was the old lady who kept these lingering traces for her.

"Why the incredulous face, did you really think I disliked your mother that much?"
