Mu Teng’s speed was astonishing.
He truly met Han Jingyi, the girl who had supposedly died in the fire, at the airport!
The first moment he saw her, Mu Teng was greatly startled.
She was tall and slender, with incredibly fair skin. Her hair, which cascaded to her waist, looked rather unkempt.
Yet, despite her frail appearance, there was an aura of pathetic vulnerability about her.
Mu Teng took a photo and sent it to Fu Siye.
Fu Siye’s heart clenched fiercely.
“Investigate her situation thoroughly. I’m returning to the country immediately!”
A dead person reappearing before him meant he could no longer remain calm.
Mu Teng proceeded as instructed.
Within five minutes, Mu Teng had completed a thorough investigation, as per Fu Siye and Han Jingyi’s instructions.
Especially after Dyson’s professional assessment, Han Jingyi’s face showed no signs of cosmetic surgery, nor was it enhanced by any masks or makeup.
The fire had been deliberately set.
The arsonist was Han Jingyi’s suitor, Ji Hannian.
He had intentionally faked Han Jingyi’s death, seizing the opportunity to take her to country M. To prevent her escape, he had confined her to a basement.
During that time, Han Jingyi had become pregnant with his child.
However, she had managed to terminate each pregnancy through various means. In the years she was held captive, she became pregnant five times.
Ultimately, her uterus was removed, rendering her infertile for life.
Her return was only possible because Ji Hannian was now dead.
She had killed him herself!
Therefore, the fire was not a case of Mu Yinyin failing to rescue her, but rather because she and Nan Shiqing were caught in the inferno, and Ji Hannian had intended for them to die as well!
However, Nan Shiqing possessed no such capabilities.
This fire incident suddenly became fraught with suspicion.
When Fu Siye asked Mu Teng to investigate the fire in more detail, focusing on Nan Shiqing, Mu Teng uncovered the truth.
The fire was a conspiracy between Ji Hannian and Nan Shiqing. Mu Yinyin had inadvertently become involved.
In reality, it was Mu Yinyin who had saved Fu Siye. Nan Shiqing had merely usurped Mu Yinyin’s credit.
What’s more!
After Mu Teng brought Han Jingyi back, Nan Shiqing initially believed Fu Siye had a new woman by his side. Impatiently, she pursued them.
To her surprise, it was the supposedly “dead” Han Jingyi. But the moment Nan Shiqing saw Han Jingyi, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
However, Han Jingyi quickly moved towards Nan Shiqing, blocking her path.
Han Jingyi grabbed her by the neck, a chilling smile on her face, “Nan Shiqing, what are you afraid of? You haven’t done anything to betray me.”
During the years Ji Hannian kept her confined in the basement, he had told her everything, so proudly, so assuredly!
When she learned that Nan Shiqing and Ji Hannian had conspired together, it was her boundless hatred that sustained her through those years.
Now that Ji Hannian was dead, Nan Shiqing deserved to go to hell with him!!
Seeing the immense hatred in Han Jingyi’s eyes, Nan Shiqing understood everything. She could only shift all blame onto Ji Hannian—
“That… that’s not my fault. I was coerced by Ji Hannian back then. If I hadn’t done that, if I hadn’t organized it, who would believe it was an accident?”
“Please, I beg you, let me go?”
As she spoke, Nan Shiqing knelt before Han Jingyi, begging for mercy.
Nan Shiqing now wanted to kill her, but she didn't dare.
Because with Han Jingyi’s reappearance, had the news already reached Fu Siye? If Fu Siye learned that Han Jingyi was alive, and moreover, if Fu Siye knew she had killed Han Jingyi, then Fu Siye would undoubtedly tear her to shreds!
Nan Shiqing dug her nails into her palm, telling herself to remain calm, or else all her efforts would be in vain.
However, Han Jingyi would not listen to Nan Shiqing’s excuses. She directly plunged a dagger into Nan Shiqing’s heart. He Xia, witnessing this, screamed in terror.
But how could the frenzied Han Jingyi spare her?
Mu Teng, who had followed them, knew that it was too late for anything now!!
Han Jingyi was lucid at this moment.
Seeing Mu Teng approach, she told him, “Take me to the police station. I killed someone, and I will certainly go to jail. I know what Fu Siye’s feelings for me are. I hope he treats those who were good to him well. I am content with my life.”
In reality, Han Jingyi had devised a detailed plan.
Her mental state had severely deteriorated during the years Ji Hannian kept her imprisoned in the basement.
Upon deplaning and seeing that Fu Siye and Mu Yinyin were divorced, she had felt devastated. However, Mu Teng’s investigation and her own dark past had brought her to a sudden, clear realization.
Though she had returned, she was no longer worthy of staying by Fu Siye’s side. She had to deal with those who had wronged her!
“This…”
What Han Jingyi had done was a fact, but if he handed Han Jingyi over to the prison, how would he account for himself to Fu Siye?
He dared not.
However, the two bodies… the servants at the Mu family’s old residence, having witnessed the scene, had already called the police in terror.
The police arrived and immediately detained Han Jingyi and Mu Teng.
Han Jingyi took all the blame, but as the police were about to take her away, she lunged wildly at them.
Her crazed state continued until—the police drew their weapons and pointed them at her.
Yes, this was Han Jingyi’s plan.
This was her death plan.
She had escaped from the basement and used Ji Hannian’s wealth and resources to make her way back to the country. Her sole purpose was to see Fu Siye one last time.
Her purpose was also to seek revenge on Nan Shiqing.
However, the moment news broke that Fu Siye and Mu Yinyin had obtained their divorce certificate, she was incredulous. But after hearing those words, she suddenly came to her senses.
Fu Siye had initially been with her because their families were close, their parents often teased them, and at a party during a game of truth or dare.
She had confessed her feelings to him, and to save her face in front of everyone present, he had not refused.
They had never shared any deep affection, yet she had fallen irrevocably in love with Fu Siye.
Now, with everything concluded, she was content!
Mu Teng also saw the faint smile that touched her lips the moment she collapsed.
“Mu Teng, I am finally free. I hope in my next life, I can be dignified, face fewer setbacks, and marry the person I love and have children.”
Han Jingyi died, holding onto a hopeful vision of her next life.
Mu Teng conveyed the news of her death to Fu Siye, who was just about to go and tell Mu Yinyin about his return.
He stopped in his tracks, unable to process it for a long time.
He still couldn't believe that Han Jingyi, Nan Shiqing, and He Xia were all dead…
