But Jiang Nanshu’s face was filled with confusion: “What? I don’t know where she is. There might be a misunderstanding. If it were my husband, the police should have found her long ago.”
The police officer pursed his lips: “Because your husband is a well-known entrepreneur in Beijing, it’s not easy for us to investigate. We haven’t confirmed whether she’s missing or not. We asked Chu Muxi’s mother, and she said her daughter is fine and asked us not to interfere. That’s why I came to inquire. If the missing woman’s family doesn’t pursue the matter, we won’t open a case.”
Jiang Nanshu remained calm: “I’ll ask my friends around me to see if they know Chu Muxi’s whereabouts. If the body has not been found, it means she might still be alive.”
Jiang Nanshu spoke with such conviction that she intimidated the police.
“I have some things to attend to, I’ll leave now.”
She left quickly, heading to the hospital.
But her heart slowly grew cold.
It couldn’t be hidden anymore.
Who could have reported it?
Liang Ciqiu?
Jiang Nanshu thought of him, but quickly denied it.
Liang Ciqiu already knew this. If he wanted to report it, he wouldn’t have waited five years; he would have led people to confirm Lu Qingyan’s crimes long ago.
He even told her that Lu Qingyan had hidden the person in a villa in the Imperial Garden Villa.
If it were Liang Ciqiu, the police would have already gone there, instead of coming to question her without confirming the facts.
Jiang Nanshu quickly ruled out Liang Ciqiu.
Then who is this person?
Chu Muxi, remaining in Lu Qingyan’s hands, is a ticking time bomb. Jiang Nanshu wants Lu Qingyan to release her.
Heavy with worries, Jiang Nanshu arrived at the hospital.
After five years, she saw Ji’s parents for the first time. Their hair had turned mostly white, and their faces had aged considerably. They were moved to tears when they saw Jiang Nanshu.
“Silly child, how could you do such a foolish thing? Don’t you know how worried you made us?” Ji’s mother couldn’t help but scold her.
When she heard that Jiang Nanshu had jumped into the sea and become a vegetable, she cried so much she almost followed her in death.
Seeing Ji’s mother, Jiang Nanshu felt an extraordinary sense of warmth. She sat down beside Ji’s mother’s bed, pursed her lips, and her eyes revealed a hint of guilt: “Mom, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.”
After saying that, she reached out and hugged her.
Ji’s mother’s body stiffened.
It had been a long time.
A very long time.
Jiang Nanshu never gave her a genuine hug as she did now. After returning to the Jiang family home, Jiang Nanshu always gave her a sense of distance. She always kept her distance from them, even when she paid for her medical treatment and cared about her progress, it felt like she was completing some kind of task.
But now, she felt that the lively, adorable, and clingy daughter from before had returned.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she slowly reached out to hug Jiang Nanshu tightly.
Her voice trembled and choked with emotion as she said, “Don’t scare people like that again. I’m so old, I don’t want to bury my child. It’s not good.”
Jiang Nanshu reached out to wipe away her tears: “I know I was wrong. I will never do such a stupid thing again.”
She turned to look at Ji’s father, whose eyes were also moist, but since he was a man, his emotions weren’t as direct as Ji’s mother’s.
“Dad, when are you going back?”
Upon hearing this, Ji’s father assumed that Jiang Nanshu had something to do. He didn’t want to take up any more of Jiang Nanshu’s time, so he said, “We’ll be leaving in a bit. You can go ahead and do what you need to do. Your mother will be fine with Ji Ze and me looking after her. We’ll just have a check-up, and then we’ll be leaving.”
