Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 209 There is a way
Through her tears, Xu Baiyun saw the things Fan Mixue had left for her. These were documents she had obtained from a lawyer based on the information Fan Mixue had given her. They contained the copyright transfer agreement for her novel and an insurance policy. These were Fan Mixue's most precious possessions. It turned out that at some point, Fan Mixue had already made worst-case scenario plans for herself and had even prepared a will. In the event of an accident involving Fan Mixue, she would be the beneficiary of the insurance policy.

Why?! What did Fan Michelle do wrong?! Why did she have to pay with her life for that scumbag?! Shen Hongxin!

Xu Baiyun wiped away her tears, rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and the blade reflected the sunlight, illuminating Xu Baiyun's eyes. Her eyes turned bloodshot, she took a deep breath, gripped the knife, and charged out.

As soon as the door opened, Yu Xiuming was seen raising his hand as if he was about to knock.

"How did you know about my family?" Xu Baiyun asked in surprise.

Seeing Xu Baiyun's red eyes and the knife in her hand, looking like she was about to fight to the death, Yu Xiuming frowned. "If you want to know, you will find out. What are you going to do?"

Xu Baiyun pushed him away and said stubbornly, "It's none of your business!" Then she started to walk out.

Yu Xiuming grabbed her and said with a headache, "How could I not care? You're my girlfriend!"

"We've broken up! Let me go! I'm going to avenge Mi Xue! I'm going to kill Shen Hongxin! He must have killed Mi Xue!" Xu Baiyun shouted as she struggled, brandishing her knife.

Yu Xiuming watched the knife in Xu Baiyun's hand with trepidation, fearing that she would hurt him. Taking advantage of Xu Baiyun's inattention, Yu Xiuming quickly snatched the knife from Xu Baiyun's hand and threw it far away.

He grabbed Xu Baiyun's shoulders. "Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing?! You killed him, you'll go to jail, you know that? What am I supposed to do? And are you sure you can even kill him? To put it simply, can you even find him?"

Yu Xiuming looked at her seriously and said, "You have no evidence to prove he is the murderer, do you?"

Tears streamed down her face as Xu Baiyun looked at Yu Xiuming with a desolate gaze. "Mi Xue is my only friend, my only one! But I can't do anything for her. How can I accept this? How can you expect me to accept this? Mi Xue could have had a better life, a bright future. Why did those people ruin her? Even burying the truth and making her bear the stigma of being a mistress, letting strangers talk about her as a bad girl!"

Xu Baiyun sobbed uncontrollably, clutching Yu Xiuming's sleeve as if grasping at a lifeline, "Mi Xue is fine, she's fine, she's fine!"

Yu Xiuming sighed, hugged Xu Baiyun, patted her back, and comforted her, "Okay, she's fine. I'll help you find out the truth. Don't cry."

Xu Baiyun shook her head. "It's too late. Mi Xue's body has been destroyed. They forged a fake autopsy report so that no one could find out where Mi Xue died. The police said that the hope of finding out the truth is getting slimmer and slimmer. What should I do?"

Looking at Xu Baiyun's swollen eyes, Yu Xiuming felt a pang of heartache. He wondered how long the girl had been crying. Yu Xiuming took a tissue and wiped away her tears, comforting her, "Don't cry anymore. If you keep crying, your eyes will be ruined. I told you I would help you investigate, and we've already found a little bit of evidence. Give me a little more time."

Xu Baiyun nodded. "What have you found out so far?"

He did find some things, but none of them were crucial. He discovered that Fan Mixue's parents behaved very strangely after her death. Even if they didn't like their daughter, she was still their own flesh and blood. Not only did they refuse to acknowledge her body, but they also bought her lavish meals every day, which was highly suspicious. Furthermore, he found that someone seemed to be helping them cover it up. If he hadn't found out early, this information might have been concealed. Yu Xiuming pulled Xu Baiyun to sit down on the sofa, then got up to pour Xu Baijun a glass of water, acting as if he were at home, "Have a glass of water first."

After Xu Baiyun took the water and drank it, Yu Xiuming continued, "I discovered something unusual. Fan Mixue's parents didn't seem to be saddened by her death at all. Instead, they ate lavish meals every day and visited relatives and friends as if they were very happy. It gave people the impression that their daughter had never died, that the person who died wasn't their daughter at all, but just a stranger who was insignificant."

Speaking of this, Yu Xiuming was very puzzled. How could someone be so indifferent to their own daughter? It was as if she wasn't their biological child. But even if she wasn't their biological child, shouldn't there have been some affection over the years? This was too cold-hearted.

Upon hearing this, Xu Baiyun pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed in horror, "Could it be that Mi Xue's parents were also involved in her death?"

Yu Xiuming was also stunned for a moment, "It can't be, how could there be such heartless parents?"

Xu Baiyun scratched her hair in anguish and said, "We have no idea what the truth is, but Mi Xue's death is definitely related to Shen Hongxin. Mi Xue's parents must also know something, otherwise they wouldn't be so calm."

Based on Xu Baiyun's understanding of Fan Mixue's parents, how could they possibly let the Fan family's cash cow die like this? Most likely, they took the money and are hiding something, or they might have directly...

Xu Baiyun dared not think any further. If it really was as she imagined, then how desperate Fan Mixue must have been back then.

"If I could see Michelle's ghost, or if she appeared in my dream and told me the truth, I could clear her name. I really miss her," Xu Baiyun said sadly.

“Ghosts? Perhaps I have a way.” He spoke casually, but the listener took it to heart. Hearing Xu Baiyun say this, Yu Xiuming actually thought of a way. Using ordinary methods might be difficult and take a long time to find any clues, but this method was different. If he could see Fan Mixue’s ghost, then all the questions would be answered.

"What method?" Xu Baiyun asked in confusion.

“I’m taking you to see someone who can help us, but we can’t go so early, or we’ll annoy people. You haven’t slept all night, have you? You should rest for a while. I’ll make you breakfast, and I’ll call you when it’s ready. Then we’ll go buy some things, and maybe that will allow you to see Fan Mixue.” Yu Xiuming instructed, and then got up to check what ingredients were in the refrigerator.

"No, what do you mean?" Xu Baiyun quickly caught up and asked.

"You'll find out then." He needed to figure out how to get that wife-protecting maniac to agree to let his wife help them.

The sun was shining brightly, but the Qiu family kept their doors and windows tightly shut, even drawing the curtains, making the house dark and gloomy.
