Chapter 116 Settling Old and New Grudges Together
Seemingly sensing Andy On's hesitation, An Min spoke in a cold voice.

"I hope I hear the truth. I'm not stupid, and you can't fool me."

Upon hearing An Min's words, An Zhijie lowered his head, and slowly spoke, as if he had thought of something.

"Actually, your mother didn't die of illness."

Anmin felt as if something had exploded in her head.

She couldn't believe her ears.

Didn't die of illness?
"That is how the matter?"

An Min restrained her emotions, which prevented her from yelling at An Zhijie.

“Back then, Qian Xue and I had already gotten together and had An Lu. When your mother found out, she was so angry that she tried to hit Qian Xue. When I raised my hand to block her, she fell to the ground and hit her head on a pillar.”

“I was terrified and rushed her to the hospital, but it was too late. I told her she had fallen by accident and no one pursued the matter.”

After saying this, Andy On lowered his head.

Since Qian Xue won't let him live in peace, then even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him.

If Anmin can't save him, then if he tells her about this, Anmin will definitely not let Qian Xue off the hook.

Anmin was shocked. Her mother had died because of this?
The murderer turned out to be her father.

"You...what did you say?"

Anmin's voice was filled with disbelief.

"it is true."

On Chi-kit's eyes darted away, unable to look An Min in the eye.

“I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t mean to. I was so scared at the time that I faked her death as if she died of illness. All these years, I’ve lived with guilt and fear…”

Anmin felt a sudden dizziness and her stomach churned.

She bit her lip hard to keep from screaming.

Liang Yi noticed that something was wrong with An Min and quickly helped her up, looking at her with concern: "Minmin, are you alright?"

An Min shook her head, looking at An Zhijie behind the iron bars, her eyes filled with hatred: "An Zhijie, you're a beast!"

After saying that, she didn't want to look at An Zhijie anymore, and turned around to pull Liang Yi out.

Watching An Min's departing figure, An Zhijie shouted anxiously, "Xiao Min, don't go! You have to believe me! I really didn't kill anyone! Please help me investigate, you have to help me investigate!"

But Anmin didn't turn around. Her pace quickened, as if some ferocious beast was chasing her from behind.

Stepping out of the detention center, the sunlight was blinding, but Anmin felt icy cold all over and had difficulty breathing.

Liang Yi held An Min's hand tightly and gently comforted her, "Minmin, don't be too sad. It's all over now. You're pregnant, so you can't get too emotional."

An Min turned around and hugged Liang Yi, leaning against his chest. Tears finally streamed down her face: "Liang Yi, I'm so heartbroken. I never imagined things would turn out like this..."

Liang Yi gently patted An Min's back, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

We originally thought Anmin's mother had passed away from illness, but who would have thought it was an accident?

This accident also brought to light some embarrassing things that happened back then.

Anyone would feel bad in this situation.

"Okay, stop crying."

Liang Yi raised his hand to wipe away An Min's tears and gently comforted her.

“Let’s go back first. As for Andy On’s matter, perhaps we can think of another way to see if we can find any evidence to clear his name.”

“Judging from his appearance, it’s highly unlikely he committed murder. Perhaps he really was framed.” An Min looked up at Liang Yi: “But now all the evidence points to him. How are we supposed to find evidence?”

Liang Yi frowned: "There's always a way. Since Lao Li and Qian Xue were able to set up such a trap, they must have left some flaws. We'll investigate slowly and eventually find it."

"Besides, if this matter really is related to Qian Xue, then let's settle both our old and new scores together."

An Min nodded. Liang Yi was right. Qian Xue had done something like this, and she would settle all old scores with her!

Back at her lodgings, Anmin locked herself in her room and calmed down for a long time.

She carefully recalled every word Andy On had said. Andy On said that he was knocked unconscious when he went to find Qian Xue. Who could have knocked him unconscious?

It's most likely Old Li, but why was Old Qi killed?
Did he discover some secret about Lao Li and Qian Xue, which led to them killing him to silence him?

A series of questions swirled in Anmin's mind, giving her a headache.

Liang Yi had prepared the meal and called An Min to come out and eat.

Seeing Anmin's haggard appearance, he felt heartbroken: "Don't think about it, eat first. Health is the foundation of everything, you can't afford to collapse now."

Anmin sat at the dining table, but had little appetite.

She looked at Liang Yi and said softly, "Liang Yi, I want to go back to the village."

Liang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then objected, "No! You're pregnant now, how can you travel back and forth like that? Besides, the village must be in chaos right now, it's not safe for you to go back."

"But if I don't go back, how can I find out the truth?"

An Min looked at Liang Yi with a determined gaze.

“I know it’s dangerous, but I have to go. I can’t let my mother die without knowing why, and I can’t let Andy On be wronged like this.”

“If this matter is really related to Qian Xue, I will not let her get away with it.”

Liang Yi knew An Min's temperament; once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it.

He sighed and said helplessly, "Alright, I'll go with you. But you must promise me that you'll listen to me and not act impulsively."

An Min nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After finishing their meal, the two began packing their things, preparing to return to the village.

Before heading back, the two went to the place where Liang Yi had previously stayed, intending to visit Director Yang and Xu Qidong.

Xu Qidong should now be addressed as the former leader, because due to the incident involving Xu Dongjun, he was unable to advance further and had to retire early.

Director Yang was transferred to work at the Women's Federation, and the couple now live in the family compound of the Northwest Camp.

Director Yang was the matchmaker for Liang Yi and An Min. Since the two of them had finally come back, of course he had to give them a proper visit.

When they arrived at Director Yang's house, Xu Qidong came out first as soon as the door opened.

"Uncle Xu."

Upon seeing the two, Xu Qidong's face lit up with surprise: "It's Liang Yi and Xiao An! Come in, come in!"

He welcomed the two in and then went to get them fruit and tea.

"Isn't Aunt Yang home?"

An Min asked a question, and Xu Qidong replied, "I haven't finished get off work yet, but I'll be back in a bit. Please have a seat."

Just as the two were seated, footsteps sounded at the door. Director Yang's eyes lit up with surprise when he saw the two sitting in the living room.

"Xiao An! Liang Yi, you're back?"

Director Yang took a few quick steps, and just as An Min was about to stand up, Director Yang stopped her.

She then noticed Anmin's stomach: "You're... pregnant?"
