President, the deceased lady has three more children

Mrs. Lu would say that what she did was something Director Lin hadn't thought of.

"Mom! What are you saying!" Lu Mingzhu shouted as if she was shocked, her face showing complete disbelief.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How could you possibly have done this? What are you talking about? I know you're worried about me, but neither my daughter nor I did it. You can't just make up an excuse."

"Although I don't know why Dr. Bugui has been so hostile towards me, I don't believe it was you who did it, Mom. You're saying it's all fake, right? You never did such a thing."

Madam Lu: "Mingzhu, it was indeed your mother who did this. I'm not lying to you. The reason I didn't come to see you today is because I was afraid of being discovered, so I've been hiding at home."

“But when I heard that Director Lin was coming with his men, I knew that I couldn’t keep it a secret any longer. Since I was going to be found out anyway, I might as well come and turn myself in to avoid implicating you.”

“Mrs. Lu, just because you say you did it doesn’t mean you did it. We need evidence and for us to investigate. The evidence we have points to Miss Lu right now, and you…” Director Lin also spoke up.

He also felt that Madam Lu's appearance was too unexpected, and he couldn't help but suspect that Madam Lu was going to take the blame for Lu Mingzhu.

“I have evidence. These are the WeChat messages between me and that person. In addition, I also went to that restaurant for dinner that night and encountered Feng Jiejie’s incident.”

Mrs. Lu handed her phone to Director Lin, which contained her chat history with the man surnamed Pan, complete with the time and date.

Furthermore, there was a video inside, as well as footage of her contacting some online trolls and bank transfer records.

After finishing reading, Director Lin glanced at Nanxing. Nanxing hadn't said a word from beginning to end, just watching the scene, and only now did she speak.

"Mrs. Lu, since you say it was you who did it, I'm very curious why you targeted Feng Jiejie. Did she offend you in any way that made you treat her like this?"

In fact, the moment Lu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Madam Lu appear, and the moment Madam Lu took out her phone, she knew that someone had taken the blame for her in this matter.

However, it was absolutely impossible for Lu Mingzhu to just walk away unscathed.

"What else can I do? It's all because of her. If it weren't for her, my husband wouldn't have become like this. Isn't it normal for me to take action against the people around her because I'm angry and resentful towards her?"

Madam Lu glared at Nanxing with resentment, which was a true expression of her emotions.

She didn't actually say that if it weren't for the appearance of this "Unreturning" person, her daughter would already be the young mistress of the Fu family! Why would she have to suffer so much!

But she couldn't say these words out loud.

Nanxing said coldly, "I have to say, you really are shameless enough. Don't you know why Lu Hai became like this? Is it my fault that he became a lunatic?"

I haven't even held him accountable for what he did to my children, and you're already blaming me? You all know what he did to my children back then. If I wanted to hold him accountable, he wouldn't just be in a mental hospital right now!

Madam Lu was frightened by her gaze, but she could only pretend to be calm.

"In short, if it weren't for your appearance, he wouldn't have become like this. Now that what I did has been exposed, I'm too lazy to make excuses. But don't slander my daughter. Do you think everyone is as shameless as you, having a husband and children and still going to seduce other men?"

"Slap!" After hearing these words, Nanxing slapped Lu's mother across the face without hesitation.

Her movements were so fast that no one had time to react.

"If you can't say anything nice again, I won't mind turning you into a lunatic too, you believe me?"

"Ah! How dare you hit me? You bitch! I'm going to beat you to death!" After realizing what was happening, Lu's mother immediately tried to hit Nanxing, but Nanxing didn't dodge. Instead, she gripped her wrist tightly, causing her to turn pale with pain.

"Didn't you say you were the one behind it all? Since you're the mastermind, then you're a criminal now. Are you going to beat up the victim's family as a criminal?"

"Furthermore, didn't you keep saying you didn't want to see your daughter wrongly accused and that's why you turned yourself in? Is this your attitude towards turning yourself in? If that's really the case, then I have reason to doubt whether you're truly turning yourself in, or if you're really the mastermind behind it all!"

“You…” Madam Lu was stunned by Nanxing’s words, and the throbbing pain in her wrist was also a warning to her.

"Mom! What are you doing!" Lu Mingzhu suddenly shouted, getting off the bed.

Madam Lu glanced at Lu Mingzhu when she heard her voice, and then glared fiercely at Nanxing.

Nanxing forcefully shook off her hand, and Lu Mingzhu supported Madam Lu, exchanging a brief glance.

"Dr. Bugui, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. She didn't mean it. She just cares too much about my father and feels sorry for him, which is why she lost her temper and did such a wrong thing. I apologize to you on her behalf." Lu Mingzhu apologized to Nanxing with red eyes.

Nanxing looked at her with a cold smile: "I say, Lu Mingzhu, your family is really interesting. In the beginning, it was your father who took action against my children because he felt sorry for you for doing something wrong."

"Now it's your mom who's worried about your dad and is targeting my friends. Your family is really something. The evidence was pointing to you from the beginning, but in the end it all becomes their problem."

Upon hearing Nanxing's words, Lu Mingzhu's face froze, and the way Director Lin and the two police officers looked at her also carried a different meaning.

Those of them in this line of work can't help but overthink things.

Lu Mingzhu felt embarrassed by the looks they were giving her, but she couldn't show it.

Nanxing glanced at Lu Mingzhu and her daughter, then looked at Director Lin and asked, "Director Lin, how should we handle this now?"

“Under normal circumstances, we would have to take Mrs. Lu back for punishment and show her the punishment certificate to appease the victims and the public.”

"Okay, could you please have her record a video explaining the whole story and post it online?"

"Don't go too far!" Lu's mother became anxious when she heard that a video was to be recorded.

If her videos are all over the internet, she'll be ridiculed a lot when she's recognized in public.

"I'm going too far? You've damaged someone's reputation like this and you think it's not going too far? You have the guts to do such dirty things but not the guts to bear the consequences?" Nanxing looked at her coldly.

Lu's mother's face turned bright red, and Director Lin ordered two police officers to go up and take Lu's mother away.

Lu Mingzhu seemed to realize something and tried to pull her mother up, but she forced herself to put her hand down halfway through.

"Mom, you should admit your mistake this time. Make a video call to apologize properly. I'll talk to the doctor and go with you. Don't be afraid, I'll stay with you the whole time."

Lu Mingzhu comforted her mother with red eyes, appearing to be a dutiful daughter, but Nanxing and Director Lin all felt it was fake.

However, Director Lin kept quiet out of respect for Fu Yunchuan. Besides, Lu's mother had already turned herself in, and he couldn't be bothered to look at Lu Mingzhu's side any further, since Lu Mingzhu's character was none of his business.

"Mingzhu, you should stay in the hospital. I'm not in a hurry," Lu's mother said to Lu Mingzhu, her eyes also red.

Lu Mingzhu nodded while crying, "Mom, don't be like this. I will definitely stay with you. It's my fault for not being able to let you suffer."

Nanxing watched the two of them act like they were watching clowns. Since Lu's mother was so willing to take the blame for Lu Mingzhu, then let Lu's mother take the fall first.

As for Lu Mingzhu, she would not let her go either, and would make Lu Mingzhu, the real mastermind, pay the price.

"Dr. Bugui, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. It was all my mother's fault."

Lu Mingzhu bowed to Nanxing, and Nanxing admired her for being able to keep up the act even at a time like this.

She stepped forward, getting close to Lu Mingzhu, and pressed down on Lu Mingzhu's shoulders so that she couldn't straighten up, while she bent down and whispered in Lu Mingzhu's ear.

"Lu Mingzhu, do you think you've escaped this time? Do you think someone will bail you out for everything? Do you think I'm easy to talk to and kind? Is that why you've been so reckless in hurting the people around me time and time again?"

Nan Xing's cold voice echoed in Lu Mingzhu's ears. The hand on her shoulder felt like it weighed a ton, making it impossible for her to straighten up. This posture made her feel humiliated by Nan Xing, as if she were inferior to him.

Originally, she only wanted to pretend to apologize to Nanxing in order to salvage her image. She never expected to be overpowered by Nanxing, especially after he said those things to her.

She could only look up at Nanxing with difficulty, and those calm yet cold eyes made her feel a little scared.

"What...what are you saying? Dr. Bugui...I just wanted to apologize to you, how could you misunderstand me like this?"

"What a misunderstanding! Sometimes I really don't know whether to marvel at your good fortune in having such parents who are willing to stand up for you, or to lament your parents' bad luck in having a daughter like you."

“You…” Lu Mingzhu was angry and wanted to retort, but then she thought about the current situation and could only look up at Nanxing with red eyes.

Nanxing clearly saw hatred and resentment in her eyes, and she smiled.

Are you wondering why I didn't die back then?

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzhu was so terrified that she forgot to cry and just stared at her blankly.

Nanxing felt a strange pleasure looking at her eyes, a sense of comfort emanating from within.

"What? You've lost your tongue? Or are you too shocked to believe it? Don't you look familiar to me? Didn't you say you used to know someone named Nanxing? Don't you know that I'm the Nanxing you were talking about?"

Nanxing felt satisfied as she held Lu Mingzhu's body, which was trembling slightly, in her palm. She hadn't wanted to do this, but Lu Mingzhu had repeatedly provoked her, especially by hurting the people around her, the children, and Feng Jiejie.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about? What are you saying? I...I don't understand."

Lu Mingzhu's voice trembled slightly. The two of them kept a distance from the others, which was also because they deliberately kept their voices low, so no one knew what they were saying.

They couldn't even see Lu Mingzhu's expression because Nanxing's posture blocked it.

"Don't understand? Ha... Don't pretend in front of me. I didn't say anything before because I didn't want to waste my breath, but now you've brought this on yourself. Actually, if you had just stayed put and cooperated with me for treatment, it would have been a happy ending for everyone."

I took your money to treat your illness, so you would have a healthy body, wouldn't die, and could continue your relationship with Fu Yunchuan. I would leave after taking the money, but you kept courting disaster, resorting to despicable tactics.

Lu Mingzhu didn't hear Nanxing say that she would die young at all, because she was in shock and panic. Nanxing had admitted it, and Nanxing's reputation had been implicated.

"Don't worry, I won't let you off so easily. You know perfectly well what's going on with your parents. You want a good reputation, don't you want status? Well, let me tell you now, absolutely not."

"What do you want to do? What do you mean?" Lu Mingzhu stared intently at Nanxing, her voice trembling.

Things had progressed to this point, and she no longer cared about concealing her true feelings.

Nanxing looked at her like this and laughed. This was Lu Mingzhu's true self. She had really had enough of her pretentious act before!

"What do I want to do? Ha... I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll cry your eyes out, you'll regret it to death!"

Hearing these words, Lu Mingzhu felt so uneasy that it almost overwhelmed her. What Nanxing said next confirmed that her unease was real.

"I don't know if Fu Yunchuan told you that my marriage certificate with him is still valid. If I were to regain my status as Nanxing, and appear in the public eye as the rightful young mistress, what would become of the reputation and image you've cultivated over the years?"

"It's not just about your so-called reputation and image, but also how will people interpret your relationship with Fu Yunchuan? Will Fu Yunchuan be seen as a man who has a wife but still cheats on her? Will you be seen as a mistress who knowingly becomes the other woman?"

"Back then, I decided to change my identity and live a good life as soon as I survived. It was you who kept forcing me, Lu Mingzhu. Now you'll see what happens. Whatever happens, it's all your own doing! I won't let the car accident from six years ago go by like this!"

Lu Mingzhu's face was now as pale as paper, and her body trembled even more noticeably.

She wasn't afraid of Nanxing's so-called "mistress" label, but rather of Nanxing's actions being exposed, such as the car accident six years ago and her impersonation of Nanxing for over a decade.

Seeing her reaction, Nanxing straightened up with satisfaction and withdrew his hand from Lu Mingzhu's shoulder.

Lu Mingzhu slowly raised her head. Whether it was because she had been bent over for too long or something else, she swayed slightly when she straightened up and saw the man standing at the door.
