Shi Muzhen: “Of course not, it’s…”
Shi Muzhen faltered, and suddenly she stopped talking.
She had wanted to tell Lin Gantang that what she did was because Feng Yangyang had silently tempted her, using her as a pawn in her schemes.
She had no evidence, and couldn’t do anything to Feng Yangyang. But if Lin Gantang knew, it would be different; she could take on Feng Yangyang.
Feng Yangyang would not stop, and as soon as she made her move, Wen Yanqing would surely seek justice for Lin Gantang and destroy Feng Yangyang, and her own grudge would be avenged.
But… Shi Muzhen looked at Lin Gantang’s beautiful face, her expression twisted.
But that would mean Lin Gantang would live, right? Without Feng Yangyang’s malicious interference, Lin Gantang would be happy and content until old age.
It would be better to let Feng Yangyang deal with Lin Gantang when she least expects it, and then have Wen Yanqing clean up Feng Yangyang completely.
Both of the people she hated and resented would disappear.
Shi Muzhen changed her mind and lied to her: “I lured you here just to see how distraught you’d be after Wen Yanqing became blind. What could I possibly hide? Regarding the fire, I had already confessed everything to the police during the case investigation.”
Lin Gantang furrowed her brows.
She felt it couldn’t be that simple, what exactly was Shi Muzhen hiding?
It was clear she initially wanted to remind her of something, then suddenly her gaze turned venomous and she stopped the words at her lips.
However, the visitation time soon ended, and Lin Gantang had no time to ask further questions. She could only watch as Shi Muzhen hung up the phone and was taken back to the prison by the guards.
Until Lin Gantang returned home, the matter was still on her mind.
Wen Yanqing sensitively perceived that she was less talkative after her outing. Unable to see her contemplative look, he asked if something had happened.
“Nothing, I just haven’t figured some things out yet,” said Lin Gantang.
Thinking led nowhere.
Until the quiet of the night, as Lin Gantang lay in bed about to close her eyes, Shi Muzhen’s resentful expression flashed in her mind.
She suddenly sat up from the bed.
Wen Yanqing noticed and propped himself up to find her hand, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“I’ve figured it out.”
Shi Muzhen was cold-blooded and insane enough to not care about others’ lives or deaths. She was only concerned with herself, so the matter must be connected to her personally.
Shi Muzhen was a narrow-minded person; she had said she was resentful, probably because despite her insane plotting, the people around Gu Zhichuan were still at his side, while she faced the death penalty.
She bore a grudge against the women who appeared around Gu Zhichuan, including Lin Gantang and another, Feng Yangyang, whom she had once attacked severely out of hatred.
Shi Muzhen was ready to risk her own life to kill Lin Gantang, so how could she spare Feng Yangyang, who clung to Gu Zhichuan like a lotus?
Perhaps from the beginning, Feng Yangyang was involved in the case, which is why Shi Muzhen was caught but Feng Yangyang was at large, causing Shi Muzhen’s resentment and thus her intent to summon her to deal with Feng Yangyang.
“Feng Yangyang,” Lin Gantang murmured her name.
In her past life, Feng Yangyang was the murderer, but in the current life, Feng Yangyang had long drifted away from her life, and Lin Gantang could not defy the law to demand her life in retribution for debts from the previous life.
Moreover, with Wen Yanqing’s presence in this life, his warmth had gradually thawed her heart, and the resentment and hatred she once harbored due to poor judgments were slowly dissipated amidst love and acceptance.
She thought by avoiding these people, she would stay away from the past hurts.
In this lifetime, Feng Yangyang hadn’t pushed her into the water out of jealousy, but she was still harboring darkness.
She had underestimated the evil of human nature.
“Who did you say?” Wen Yanqing asked.
“Feng Yangyang. Shi Muzhen wanted to warn me about Feng Yangyang, but she changed her mind,” replied Lin Gantang..
