Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.
Chapter 72 Execution
In Cheng Yizhou's view, there was only one possibility that could make Bai Su cry so sadly.
That means Grandpa was still affected by the poison and suffered some serious aftereffects.
"My grandfather... what happened to him?" Cheng Yizhou pressed.
"It wasn't me." Cheng Sihai sighed and said, "I'm perfectly healthy. Your ancestors protected me very well."
"Then what happened to her...?"
Cheng Sihai looked at Bai Su, and seeing that she didn't stop him from speaking, he told her the whole story.
He breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Bai Su was saddened by the death of a scientist named Chang Sheng.
It's good that Grandpa isn't in trouble.
"Is this Chang Sheng on good terms with the ancestor?" Cheng Yizhou asked quietly.
Cheng Sihai blinked, and Cheng Yizhou immediately understood.
So they're boyfriend and girlfriend...
Cheng Yizhou understood.
No wonder she cried so sadly.
However, he also realized that he didn't feel anything when he learned that Bai Su had a boyfriend.
There wasn't even the slightest ripple.
This means... he did indeed misunderstand his feelings before.
His feelings for Bai Su were not love.
If it's about love, he would definitely be jealous seeing Bai Su cry so sadly for another man.
Having figured this out, Cheng Yizhou felt even more refreshed.
It's good that it's not love, otherwise, his path to love will be fraught with difficulties.
This isn't a matter of age; it's a matter of being separated by two generations.
Moreover, Bai Su clearly only showed him the affection of a junior, and there was no romantic love between them.
But because Bai Su was still crying, he still wore a somber expression.
"Ancestor, please accept my condolences..."
"It's alright." Bai Su wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself down. "You stay here with your grandfather. I'm going to see Pei Wenyan. He helped a lot today, and I'll go thank him on your grandfather's behalf."
Neither the grandfather nor the grandson said anything more when the Pei family was mentioned.
When Bai Su left, Cheng Wuyan was talking to the doctor and asking about some precautions.
Dr. Qian spoke with great earnestness.
Bai Su didn't go forward. She took the elevator down to another inpatient building and soon arrived at Pei Yuanshan's ward.
There are a few more bodyguards at the door today.
The news of Pei Yuanshan's awakening was leaked by someone, and more and more people wanted to visit him every day.
Upon seeing Bai Su, the bodyguards naturally made way for her.
"Miss Ye, please."
Bai Su frowned slightly.
It wasn't that the bodyguard's attitude was disrespectful, but rather the way he addressed him...
Her name has been changed to Ye Baisu, and her household registration has been moved to the Ye family. She needs to find a way to move it out.
Upon entering the ward, Pei Wenyan and Pei Yuanshan were both present.
As soon as she entered, Pei Yuanshan immediately asked, "How is Third Junior Brother?"
"He's fine, nothing serious," Bai Su briefly explained the situation to him.
Pei Yuanshan let out a long breath.
Although very worried, they never mentioned visiting him.
Bai Su sighed inwardly.
They actually believed in that curse so much.
The problem is that this "curse" is indeed strange, and the consequences are too severe, resulting in the deaths of many people...
They dared not risk their lives again.
Bai Su stopped thinking about the problem and thanked Pei Wenyan instead.
"Thank you for your help today."
Pei Wenyan quickly said, "Grand Ancestor, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Bai Su smiled and asked him, "You've already had your check-up this afternoon, right? Can you be discharged now?"
"You can be discharged tomorrow."
"it is good."
Pei Yuanshan immediately said, "Master, could you come and pick me up from the hospital?"
Bai Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is Monday, and I have to go to school, so the timing might not work out."
"I'll wait for you to finish school before you're discharged from the hospital."
Bai Su reluctantly agreed.
After spending some time with Pei Yuanshan, Bai Su returned to Cheng Sihai's ward.
As darkness fell, Bai Su gave Cheng Sihai a look.
Cheng Sihai immediately demanded to be discharged from the hospital.
"I'm fine now, the poison is completely gone, I'm going home."
Cheng Wuyan initially tried to stop him, but couldn't stop Cheng Sihai from making a scene, so he had to ask the doctor.
Only after receiving the doctor's approval did he dare to be discharged.
At 6 p.m., the four returned to the Cheng family home.
……
Lin Yu and her son had already confirmed that there was no evidence left in the house, so they did not show any signs of nervousness when they saw them return.
Lin Yu didn't flinch at all and stayed with him in the living room the whole time.
Just then, Lao Xu returned.
Cheng Wuyan quickly asked, "How's the investigation about the poisoning going?"
"It's been found out."
As soon as the words were spoken, Lin Yu and Cheng Dong's hands trembled simultaneously.
Fortunately, the air conditioning was on at home, and they were all wearing long-sleeved loungewear, so their hands were covered by the sleeves and no one noticed that their hands were shaking.
"You actually found it?" Cheng Wuyan was quite surprised.
He was already convinced that the curse had come true again.
But this time, it really was man-made?
Could it be true, as Bai Su said, that the curse doesn't exist at all, and that everything before was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes?
His eyes narrowed coldly.
"What did you find out? Tell me quickly."
Old Xu didn't rush to answer, but instead looked at Lin Yu and Cheng Dong and his mother.
"Madam, Young Master Dong, shall I speak, or shall you speak yourselves?"
Lin Yu was instantly terrified. If she hadn't been sitting on the sofa, she might have already fallen to the ground.
Compared to Lin Yu, Cheng Dong's mindset was significantly better.
He looked directly at Old Xu and said, "Uncle Xu, I don't understand what you're talking about? You want us to talk? What are we supposed to talk about?"
"Yeah, Lao Xu, what do you mean by that?" Cheng Wuyan was also puzzled.
He didn't even consider the possibility that the old man's poisoning was related to Lin Yu and Cheng Dong, so he didn't understand what Lao Xu was talking about at all.
Cheng Sihai and Cheng Yizhou desperately wanted to talk, so desperately they were practically dying of longing.
But they knew this wasn't their turn yet.
Because they "know nothing".
Old Xu slowly spoke: "After a thorough investigation, I discovered that the poison that Master was given was done by Madam and Young Master Cheng Dong."
Cheng Wuyan then suddenly looked at the mother and child.
Lin Yu's face turned pale in waves.
She knew she should stay calm, so before Cheng Wuyan looked over, she quickly composed herself, only showing a shocked expression.
"Old Xu, how could you slander me like this? It's one thing to slander me, but why treat Ah Dong like this too?"
Cheng Dong said, "Uncle Xu, I know you've always been prejudiced against me, but this matter concerns Grandpa, and you can't make things up without evidence."
He thought that Lao Xu might be bluffing them.
He cannot show weakness.
"Of course I wouldn't make things up without evidence, but the fact is, I did obtain evidence."
He snapped his fingers, and instantly four police officers walked in.
Two of the officers were also escorting a middle-aged man with a thick beard.
The man trembled with fear but showed no sign of resistance, clearly having already submitted to the law.
The moment Lin Yu saw the man walk in, she collapsed to the ground.
This man is the person in charge of the Shadow Forum!
Old Xu really found the evidence.
They're finished...
"What's going on here?" Cheng Sihai asked, feigning a puzzled expression. "Who is this guy?"
Old Xu explained it to me one by one.
"I extracted the toxins from your body at the hospital and followed the trail to this Shadow Forum. This guy is the person in charge of the Shadow Forum, specializing in selling all kinds of poisons. And he confessed himself that his wife bought the poison from him for ten million."
As he spoke, he took out a printed bank statement.
"This is the transaction record. On Saturday, my wife traded poison from this person."
At this moment, the bearded man personally identified that Lin Yu had bought the poison from him.
Cheng Wuyan's expression changed from initial confusion to shock, and then from shock to anger.
He walked up to Lin Yu in a few steps and slapped her hard across the face.
The slap was so hard that Lin Yu even felt her teeth starting to loosen.
"Honey... let me explain. It's not like that. I just... I just bought poison to poison a dog. There's always been a vicious dog around here, and I wanted to kill it..."
"Poisoning dogs? Spending ten million? Aunt Lin, you're really extravagant." Cheng Yizhou finally had his moment to shine, his words full of sarcasm and sharp attacks.
Cheng Wuyan clearly didn't believe Lin Yu's explanation either.
"Why would someone who's just using drugs need to go to a shadow forum? That forum is illegal..."
"I...I..."
Lin Yu wanted to find an excuse, but she couldn't come up with a suitable one.
But at that moment, Cheng Dong spoke up.
"Mom, how could you do such a thing? Grandpa may be a little prejudiced against us, but you can't do this! You've disappointed me so much! You don't deserve to be my mother!"
He deliberately emphasized the word "mother".
Lin Yu understood.
She can no longer clear her name about this matter; all she can do is, as a mother, protect her son.
Lin Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! It was indeed me! I was just too angry! I've been a slave to your Cheng family all these years, and you've treated me badly, and you've been so biased towards A-Dong... So I couldn't take it anymore, and I secretly bought poison, intending to poison the old man..."
"Mom, I really wish I didn't have you as my mother..." Cheng Dong said, a few tears streaming down his face.
He turned around and knelt down in front of Cheng Wuyan.
"Dad, although Mom did this, as her son, I failed to notice anything amiss with her, so I am also guilty! Please forgive her for the sake of your marriage, and I will go to jail in Mom's place."
Cheng Wuyan immediately helped Cheng Dong up.
"You had no idea about this at all, how can we let you take the blame?"
"The son should share the burden of his mother's mistakes."
"You...sigh! I know you're a good child, but this matter is too serious, there's no room for discussion, you're not allowed to get involved!"
"dad……"
"Stop talking! My mind is made up! I will divorce your mother and send her to jail, but you... you know nothing about this, it has nothing to do with you, and even if you beg me, I won't let you share the burden!"
"dad……"
"Alright, it's settled then!"
He turned to let the police take Lin Yu away.
However, Lao Xu spoke again...
