A second chance with my billionaire husband
Chapter 2122 - 511: Powerless, Truth Revealed (Part 2)Chapter 2122: Chapter 511: Powerless, Truth Revealed (Part 2)
Yun Ya took it and earnestly looked through it. Uncle Chen was a very capable person, and everything was well-arranged, requiring no effort from Yun Ya; she just needed to be the one making decisions.
Yun Ya closed the document and handed it back to him: "Just follow what’s written here, Uncle Chen, thank you for your trouble."
Uncle Chen was moved to tears. He had been working at the Ruan Family since he was young and was well aware of the masters’ feuds, but as a butler, he had no say in the matter, just like Lady Ruan... such a wonderful woman, yet she fell like this...
At this moment, Yan Song walked in from outside. Uncle Chen wiped his tears, "Miss Ji, it’s late, please rest well."
After speaking, he walked away hunched over, his steps faltering.
"Brother Yan." Yun Ya walked up to him, dressed in black, accentuating his cold and proud demeanor. The fine fabric made his stunning face appear devoid of any warmth, as cold as an ice sculpture.
Yun Ya’s heart suddenly stung sharply.
He was blaming himself.
Yan Song’s eyes were bloodshot. He glanced at Yun Ya briefly, grasped her hand, and led her upstairs without exchanging a word along the way.
Back in the room, they didn’t turn on the light. In the pitch-dark room, the two embraced and slept, drawing warmth from each other’s bodies.
Yun Ya knew he wasn’t sleeping. She whispered: "Brother Yan, you shouldn’t blame yourself. Everyone has their fate. Considering Aunt’s intelligence, do you think she wouldn’t see through Lady Liang’s schemes? I guess... she was truly in despair."
She hadn’t told anybody about this. Aunt was a very smart woman; all these years, with so many women entering Ruan Wencheng’s life, any woman would be enraged, yet Aunt stayed firmly in her position and had the last laugh; without her cunning and means, she would have been devoured long ago. Even if Liang Wenwan and Lady Liang conspired against Aunt, would she stupidly fall into the trap?
There’s only one possibility: it was Aunt’s own choice.
In the darkness where one couldn’t see one’s fingers, Yan Song held her tightly. Yun Ya felt his heavy breathing near her ear, like a solitary traveler wandering in the dark. Yun Ya’s heart ached again, saying nothing, she warmed his cold, lonely heart with her own warmth.
As night fell, the police station was brightly lit.
Huang Wenqing and Liang Wenwan were separated and detained. In the dim room with only a chair, the stark emptiness beside the seated person made the world feel uncomfortably quiet.
Huang Wenqing, who initially feigned calmness, later grew anxious and frightened, constantly calling out her grievances, cursing, acting haughty, crying and yelling, but despite her throat-breaking cries, no one came in.
In another room, from the beginning to now, Liang Wenwan’s posture remained unchanged, with her head down and hair disheveled, the darkness rendering her facial expression invisible, the aura of deathly silence enveloping her.
Deng Ronghua watched through the monitor for a while, stood up, slowly adjusted his police cap, and said softly: "Bring her out."
Pointing at Huang Wenqing, who was exhausted from crying and slumped in the chair.
His subordinates immediately went to carry it out.
Deng Ronghua exited the room, and a junior officer approached softly: "Liang Taisheng has arrived, and brought a lawyer with him."
Deng Ronghua raised an eyebrow: "Bailing out who?"
"Miss Liang."
Deng Ronghua chuckled: "What about Lady Liang?"
It’s unreasonable to save the daughter and not the mother; it seems the Liang Family indeed has deep waters.
The junior officer stated: "Liang Taisheng hasn’t mentioned Lady Liang at all, you see...."
"Let’s wait and see."
Deng Ronghua tidied his clothes and walked out.
"It seems bail is impossible; madam and miss are both suspects, the police won’t release them. I’m powerless."
Moreover, the opponent is Deng Ronghua, highly influential, leveraging police backing wouldn’t work either.
Liang Taisheng furrowed his brows tightly, eyes filled with concern: "Is there truly no way?"
The lawyer thought for a moment and said: "Actually, there’s one way."
Liang Taisheng looked at him earnestly.
"Since the case hasn’t been concluded, both Madam and Miss are suspects. Mr. Ruan definitely won’t let it go easily; only one between Madam and Miss can be bailed...."
The lawyer gave him a meaningful glance.
Liang Taisheng understood immediately, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, Wan’er must be safe."
The lawyer nodded, sighing somewhat inside; Liang Taisheng was too ruthless. Despite being his wife, he’s quick to abandon her, yet he undoubtedly cherishes that daughter exceedingly.
On the other side, Ruan Wencheng had just left the funeral parlor when he was arrested by the police. Liang Wenrou’s murder had been reported to the police, overseen by Yellow Hair. Liang Wenrou had already died from excessive blood loss on the way to the hospital.
The police station tonight was destined not to be peaceful.
A policeman rushed in. Liang Taisheng felt unaccountably anxious. Soon, the policeman came out from inside, looked at Liang Taisheng for several seconds, then walked up and said: "Is this Mr. Liang Taisheng?"
Liang Taisheng was momentarily dazed, "Yes, I am."
Upon learning of Liang Wenrou’s death, Liang Taisheng shook, quickly supported by his quick-witted secretary.
He seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
Faced with tragedy, both wife and daughters encountered misfortune; even an iron-hearted person couldn’t bear it.
This youngest daughter, although not as beloved as Wan’er, he was genuinely fond of, unexpectedly departing suddenly.
"Who did it?" Liang Taisheng said through gritted teeth.
Liang Taisheng possessed an imposing presence of authority, just a mere messenger officer was intimidated by such a scene, awkwardly replying: "The case is under investigation. Rest assured, we will definitely bring the murderer to justice. The victim’s body is currently...."
"Rourou...." Liang Taisheng wept bitterly.
"Please accept my condolences."
After grieving for a while, Liang Taisheng instructed his secretary to handle Liang Wenrou’s posthumous affairs; he intended to wait at the police station, fearing Wanwan would be scared upon release if she couldn’t find him...
With Deng Ronghua as an experienced and excellent detective, he had myriad unpredictable interrogation methods; dealing with someone who wasn’t particularly clever as a housewife was no challenge. Huang Wenqing, physically and mentally exhausted, could only hope to quickly escape and confessed everything without reserve, detailing even how she utilized positioning to frame Liang Wenwan and pushed Zhuang Fanxing off the balcony.
She had planned it countless times in her mind, but hadn’t expected implementing it to be so easy; she even mentioned how Zhuang Fanxing could have escaped the disaster, but at the time, perhaps due to foolishness or erratic thinking, went with the flow, turning passive into active, jumped off the balcony.
"You bear no grudge against Lady Ruan, why harm her?" Deng Ronghua pressed.
Huang Wenqing sobbed, saying: "It was Ruan Wencheng, he kidnapped my daughter and forced me to do these things. I was coerced...."
Deng Ronghua’s eyes flashed quickly, shifting the angle: "I understand your desperation to find a scapegoat, but Liang Wenwan is your daughter, a fierce tiger would protect its cub. How could you make her your scapegoat?"
Huang Wenqing snarled, angrily declaring: "She’s not even my daughter, she’s a bastard child of Liang Taisheng from an affair. Everything this slut caused is deserved."
Deng Ronghua was momentarily stunned, unexpectedly unraveling another secret of the Liang Family.
Now, although the truth was revealed, Deng Ronghua felt no joy in solving the case, only endless regret and helplessness.
"Take her away."
Deng Ronghua exited the room, approached by someone who whispered: "Mr. Ruan has arrived."
