She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 249 Her biological mother, willing to risk her life to protect her.
In just a few words, Nan Yu looked at Ren Xingzhou's wounds and could imagine how he had escaped from the deep mountains in such a perilous way.

He was just a hair's breadth away from dying forever in that deep mountain, becoming a cold, lifeless corpse.

Nan Yu's expression was solemn. "Brother Ren, you should stay here and recover from your injuries. I won't let what Nan Luzhi did to you go unpunished. I will give you an explanation."

Ren Xingzhou looked at Nan Yu, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.

Nan Luzhi is Nan Yu's biological parent, and he dares not hope that she can really give him an explanation.

But looking into her exceptionally earnest eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, just in case.

He nodded slightly. "Okay."

Nan Yu re-bandaged his reopened wound and said to him, "Brother Ren, I have a question. Whose body did Nan Luzhi find at the bottom of the cliff?"

After much thought, she concluded that the extra corpse found at the bottom of the cliff could only have been caused by Ren Xingzhou.

But she couldn't figure out where the body came from.

Upon hearing this, Ren Xingzhou's deep eyes revealed a hint of a smile, "Do you still remember that crippled hand?"

Nan Yu certainly remembered, "That crippled hand belongs to Zhang Tao, the serial killer's cousin."

Ren Xingzhou said with a serious expression, "I found the body in the deep forest. I originally wanted to call the police, but I didn't expect that the Fourth Young Master would come back and say that you are the murderer and that he would find your body and tear it to pieces."

“The Fourth Young Master has always been short-tempered and difficult to deal with. I’m afraid that once he finds out you’re not dead, he’ll come after you directly and attack you without saying a word.”

"So I put the coat you left behind on the body that was killed by the lion, and threw it off the cliff when no one was around, pretending it was you."

Nan Yu looked grateful. "Brother Ren, thank you for helping me."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to so easily use a fake identity to treat her biological mother's illness. Ren Xingzhou sighed, "Actually, you don't need to thank me. The body I was using was easily identifiable as not being yours."

"But Nanlu Zhi was so eager to cremate the body and bury it in the haunted tomb that he wouldn't allow anyone to look closely, which allowed me to take advantage of the situation."

"In the end, Nan Luzhi shot himself in the foot."

By the end, Ren Xingzhou's tone was clearly sarcastic.

When Nan Yu thought of her adoptive father, who was still caught up in the excitement of her death, she didn't want to look at the body for more than a couple of seconds to make sure it was her. A hint of disappointment welled up in her eyes.

Even though she knew all along that her adoptive parents' feelings for her had completely disappeared when Nan Qingqing returned when she was 13 years old.

But now that she knows her adoptive father buried the so-called "her" body in a haunted grave, she still feels a little sad.

She asked herself, "I've never done anything wrong, so why do they hate me so much?"
Seeing Nan Yu's silence and the aggrieved look emanating from her, Ren Xingzhou suddenly realized that he had just said the wrong thing. His heart trembled, and he looked at her with heartache.

But he was never good at comforting people. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say. Finally, he took out a photo from his pocket.

He handed it to Nan Yu.

"Is this your photo? It was originally meant for the eldest son, but I think it's more appropriate to give it back to you."

In her despair, Nan Yu saw a photo of Duan Zhu when she was young, which was the one Nan Zhuoyuan had given her before.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she took the photo and touched the image of Duan Zhu.

The disappointment in his eyes dissipated, replaced by a resolute expression.

She now has a biological mother who is willing to risk her life to protect her!
