CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 265: SECRET_3

Not wanting to suspect oneself of something, or being unable to do it oneself, so you let the other person intervene. But knowing that the other person holds your secret is not a good feeling, so you help each other out to reach out a mutual control over one another.

To put it simply, this is human nature.

When you know my secret, I naturally lose my appetite, live in fear, and our relationship becomes worse than before.

But if you exchange it for a secret of equal importance, the relationship could even progress further, simply because we both know each other’s true nature.

"Since Li Yingying can entrust such an important matter to you, then surely... what you entrusted her to do..."

Before Lin Zhenxin could finish speaking, Tu Wanzi suddenly slammed on the brakes at a red light!

"Must be the dirtiest secret you can’t bear to bring up in your heart."

"Lin Zhenxin, you’re very smart, but you’ve used this intelligence in the wrong place!"

Tu Wanzi sneered twice; now that there was no need to maintain appearances between them, there was nothing left to hide.

"Since you’re so smart, why not keep guessing, let me hear!"

The vehicle moved forward slowly again, Lin Zhenxin used a light laugh to conceal her inner unease.

Everything she said was merely to buy more time.

"Since you ask me to guess, then I shall continue..."

"The dirty thing you least want anyone to bring up must be related to the past affair of my parents, it’s the blemish of your life!"

"So I guess, the task you gave to Li Yingying must be related to Lin Jusheng or Tu Xinya!"

Tu Wanzi’s grip on the steering wheel tightened even more, she never expected Lin Zhenxin to be so clever...

"If Hoohoo had such thoughts, she wouldn’t be in the situation she is now!"

Tu Wanzi couldn’t help but sigh.

All these years, she spared no expense to nurture Hoohoo, hoping Hoohoo wouldn’t follow in her old footsteps, yet she never thought...

She taught her daughter too simply, leading to the current situation.

Could this be fate?

Within the hospital, outside the emergency room.

A rush of footsteps echoed, and as Li Yanan arrived with a cold face, grandma had already been inside the emergency room for quite some time.

Grandma is Zhenxin’s most cherished relative, if really...

Li Yanan concealed all his emotions, then swept his grim gaze towards the woman shivering in the corridor.

Although she still wore a baseball cap, although there was still a policeman standing by her side.

Without any hesitation, Li Yanan walked toward He Nuoxin.

The next moment, with a loud bang, He Nuoxin was slammed against the wall by Li Yanan, as if pinned there harshly.

"He Nuoxin, why are you here?"

Obviously, Li Yanan’s emotions were on the verge of losing control, and Dean Xun rushed downstairs upon receiving the news, just in time to see this scene.

"Yanan!" Dean Xun hurriedly tried to pull him away.

Aunt Xu, who had just received a call, also rushed to the hospital. Xun Simiao was evidently not expecting to see her under such circumstances, and froze momentarily.

"Yanan, how is grandma?" Aunt Xu, who had just gotten out of the car and fell shortly afterwards, appeared utterly disheveled!

"Brother Yanan, you’re hurting me!"

He Nuoxin’s hands were still stained with blood, saying she wasn’t scared would be a lie.

"Calm down!" even the police couldn’t help but speak up.

"I... I ran into her by chance, who knew she would go crazy and try to crash the car, how was I supposed to know she... she would run outside!"

"It’s you, it was you who took grandma away!"

Aunt Xu, upon hearing this, could hardly contain her anger, what chance encounter, all lies!

Grandma would never leave her side for no reason!

The police had already quickly accessed the roadside surveillance post-incident, but what was odd was that the footage couldn’t capture how grandma ended up with He Nuoxin, only showing them arriving at the roadside and talking.

If judging solely on this basis, it’s obviously insufficient to verify their claims of deliberate action or not.

He Nuoxin’s eyes flickered with unease, she originally intended to flee...

But passerby held her down, and soon the traffic police and police arrived, leaving her no time to escape!

The wait for Li Yanan to show up was the most excruciating; she understood Li Yanan’s nature too well, if truly condemned by him...

He Nuoxin dreaded to think, could not help but shiver...

J City, the back mountain.

Lin Zhenxin followed closely behind Tu Wanzi, treading carefully while constantly observing the terrain.

The back mountain was a mountain sparsely populated, no one would have expected that a small wooden hut stood hidden within this mountain.

The wooden hut was built later on, but it already looked many years old.

Tu Wanzi drove their car straight to the mountain top, and this wooden hut was at the end of the mountain top road.

With a creak...

The rusty iron lock was opened by Tu Wanzi, and Lin Zhenxin noticed that the key, it was very similar to the one Li Yingying had hidden away.

"All these years, she’s been locked in the basement by someone."

Suddenly, Tu Wanzi’s voice sounded in her ear, causing Lin Zhenxin to jolt in her heart.

"Why..."

Why would Li Yingying go to such lengths to hide Yannan’s mother here?

Tu Wanzi was startled at first, then comprehended what Lin Zhenxin meant with her question.

"You’re so smart, yet you really don’t understand?" Tu Wanzi spoke with extreme sarcasm.

Li Yingying hated her, hated her for destroying her life, making her a laughingstock in all of J City.

So for years she let him appear dead outside, but actually hid Yannan’s mother here, allowing her to be subject to humiliation and release.

Lin Zhenxin finally understood why no matter how Li Yanan looked for his mother’s remains over the years, he could never find any information.

How could anyone find the bones of someone who was never dead after all?

Moreover, this incident wasn’t orchestrated by Li Yingying at all.

Even with Li Yanan’s intelligence, he could not have drawn a link from Li Yingying to Tu Wanzi.

"Not going down?" Tu Wanzi bent down to unlock the door leading to the basement, turned her head, and spoke in a haunting voice.

Lin Zhenxin felt a thud in her heart!

The sound of her heartbeat quickly and clearly resonated in her ears.

Even though Tu Wanzi’s eyes were well-disguised, Lin Zhenxin could still glimpse a trace of malice from them...
