Chapter 115 The truth back then

The one who spoke was Erzhuzi from the village. He held up the wooden stick stained with dark red blood and looked at the villagers who had gathered around him, his face pale.

The crowd erupted in commotion. Some people remembered that Old Qi hadn't shown up for three days, and their hearts sank.

"Andy On has been acting like he's lost his mind these past few days. Could he have really done something stupid?"

The murmurs spread one after another, and some people ran to the field to look for An Zhijie, and sure enough, they found him curled up behind the haystack.

When An Zhijie was woken up, he was still groggy. When he saw the wooden stick in the villager's hand, he suddenly shuddered.

He clearly remembered that he didn't have this thing in his hand before Old Li knocked him unconscious.

"It wasn't me! I didn't kill anyone!"

"It was Old Li! It was Old Li and that bitch Qian Xue who framed me!"

Andy On roared in defense, but if he hadn't done it, why was he panicking and running away?
Anyone who saw it would think he was trying to cover something up.

Soon, the commune officials arrived and handcuffed An Zhijie without saying a word.

As he was being shoved past the village entrance, he stared intently in the direction of Old Li's house, his eyes surging with overwhelming hatred.

He finally realized that he had fallen into an elaborate trap.

That bitch Qian Xue not only wants to return to the city without me, but she even wants to get rid of me completely.

She has such a cruel heart, such a cruel heart!

Andy On's blood surged, and he fainted completely.

Now he's confirmed to be guilty of murder. Forget about escaping, he'll be in deep trouble.

When the news reached Haicheng, Qian Xue was sitting on her newly bought sofa painting her nails.

Upon hearing the news of Andy On's arrest, her hand trembled, and her bright red nail polish smeared onto the hem of her beige skirt.

The letter that Old Li sent said everything was going well and that she should wait patiently.

But when she wakes up in the middle of the night, she always thinks of the desolate barren slope behind the mountain, and her stomach starts to ache again.

However, Lao Li is right. No one will know that they were the ones who did it, because the murderer has been found, and it is Andy On.

If anyone asks her, she will insist that she doesn't know.

The evidence is in Andy On's hands; it's no use if he denies it.

Liang Yi and An Min, who lived in the Baiyanggou family compound, only learned about this later.

That day, Liang Yi and An Min went to the hospital for a check-up. When the doctor said that two embryos had implanted, they were both stunned.

The doctor said that carrying twins will definitely be more difficult, and I must make sure to keep up with the nutrition.

Liang Yi was overjoyed and kept asking the doctor about precautions.

Unexpectedly, he won two prizes at once; it was like a windfall.

Anmin will have to work much harder. After the initial surprise, Liang Yi was filled with worry.

Anmin reassured him that everything was alright and he just needed to be more careful.

After the two returned, Liang Yi received a call from his comrade-in-arms back home, saying that An Zhijie had been detained on suspicion of murdering Lao Qitou.

“After all, Andy On is your sister-in-law’s father. They said that Andy On requested to see your sister-in-law, and they couldn’t refuse that request, so they asked me to contact you.”

Andy On wants to see An Min right now simply because no one is watching him anymore.

Although he was fully aware of how badly he had treated An Min, An Zhijie had no other choice but to beg An Min for help.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Andy On said he has a secret about his sister-in-law's mother that he can only tell her when he sees her."

As if remembering something, his comrade added another sentence.

Anmin was taken aback by these words.

Andy On committed murder? That's impossible.

"I have to go see him."

An Min suddenly grabbed Liang Yi's hand and calmly said, "He said he has my mother's secret, and I have to know it."

Liang Yi frowned: "But he's a murder suspect..."

“I know Andy On. Although he is cowardly and weak, he would never do something like murder.”

Anmin felt that something was amiss, so she had to go and take a look.

Seeing An Min's determination, Liang Yi said nothing more.

He felt that if this matter wasn't resolved, Anmin would continue to worry about it.

This is also not good for her pregnancy.

So Liang Yi told his old comrade that he would go.

It wasn't easy for the two of them to go back. Anmin had asked Chunli for leave for a long time. After Chunli found out, she nodded to show her understanding.

Let her focus on her work and not worry about anything else.

Anmin and Liang Yi took the train for several days before finally returning to this familiar place.

The next morning, Liang Yi used his connections to get the visitation permits sorted out and accompanied An Min to the commune detention center.

Behind the iron fence, Andy On was emaciated, with sunken eyes and hair like a clump of withered grass.

The moment he saw Anmin, his eyes lit up, and he rushed to the fence as if grasping at the last straw.

"Xiaomin! You're here!"

"Please save me, I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill anyone."

Andy On repeatedly said only one thing: that he did not kill anyone.

"You say you didn't kill anyone, then who did?"

An Min's voice was calm. She looked at An Zhijie, who was emaciated behind the iron fence, without any sympathy in her eyes.

Andy On was taken aback by her question, and then roared wildly as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"It was Lao Li! It was Qian Xue! They conspired to harm me! They were having an affair, and I was knocked unconscious from behind. When I woke up, I was lying in the ground."

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, gripping the iron fence tightly with both hands.

"They must have killed Old Qi, then placed the murder weapon next to me, hid me, and waited for you to find out. They just wanted to frame me so that Qian Xue could return to the city smoothly and get rid of this burden!"

Anmin listened quietly, her face expressionless.

She knew that Andy On was timid and cowardly, and that he might not actually be able to do something like murder.

But who would believe what he said?
Now, both witness testimonies and physical evidence point to him, and his defense is nothing more than a futile struggle in the eyes of others.

"You said you have my mother's secret, what is it?"

An Min avoided An Zhijie's explanation and asked directly.

For her, her mother's secret might be more important than whether Andy On committed murder.

Hearing this, An Zhijie calmed down a little. He looked at An Min with a complicated expression: "Your mother... your mother didn't die of illness back then."

"If I tell you this, will you really help me?"

Anmin's heart sank. She had always thought that her mother had died from overwork and illness.

Andy On's words undoubtedly dealt her a huge blow.

But Andy On clearly had his own agenda, and in order to keep Andy On in check, An Min nodded.

"I will help you, but only if you tell me about this."

"Andy On, only I can help you now. Think it through before you answer."

She was afraid that Andy On might say something hurtful, or that he might be deceiving her.

On Chi-kit took a deep breath, seemingly considering whether or not he should tell On Man about it.

If I don't say anything, or if I lie, will Anmin be able to tell?
