CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 487: LET ME BEAR THIS SIN ALONE

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows tightly, "I’m sure, I remember very clearly, when I left, I put that book on the desk by itself."

At that time, she was in a hurry to pack up and go to the Morris Empire, so she didn’t put it away.

Aunt Xue pondered, "Then that’s weird, there haven’t been any visitors at home these few days."

"Mu Huaner!" Yan Qianyi suddenly remembered, the night she left, to avoid Mu Huaner causing trouble, she had knocked Mu Huaner out and left her at home.

"Aunt Xue, when Mu Huaner left, did you see her carrying anything?"

Aunt Xue recalled for a moment, "I didn’t notice, I was cleaning downstairs at the time, she woke up and left on her own, she didn’t trouble me."

"But miss, Mu Huaner has no reason to take Madam’s diary, right? Is it possible that you’ve forgotten where you put it? Ever since you’ve been pregnant, your memory has indeed gotten worse."

"It’s okay, I’ll look for it myself, you go and busy yourself."

After Aunt Xue went downstairs, Yan Qianyi immediately called Mu Huaner with a voice message.

Mu Huaner didn’t answer, Yan Qianyi then sent her a message, asking: "Where are you? Let’s meet up."

Having waited for quite a long time, Mu Huaner still hadn’t replied.

Yan Qianyi pondered for a while, then suddenly thought of Mu Ziqing.

She had added Mu Ziqing as a friend when she visited the Mu Family before, and Mu Ziqing had said, if there was anything that needed help, she could be contacted.

So, Yan Qianyi gave Mu Ziqing a voice call.

Mu Ziqing answered very quickly, "Hello, Qianyi."

"Big sister, could you do me a favor?" Yan Qianyi asked straightforwardly.

"Of course, just tell me."

"I need to find little aunt, but I can’t get in touch with her, is she at home now?"

"I just went to see grandpa, little aunt wasn’t there. Grandpa said she went out a few days ago and hasn’t returned."

"Do you know where little aunt might have gone?"

"I don’t know either, she didn’t seem to have many friends after returning to the country, she only has one boyfriend, but I don’t have his contact information. Do you have an urgent matter with her?"

"It’s nothing urgent, let’s leave it at that."

Mu Ziqing quickly asked, "When are you and Ah Lie coming back? Grandpa was still talking about you today."

"We’ll come back after Ah Lie finishes his busy days, I have something else to do, I’m hanging up now."

"Wait a moment!" Mu Ziqing asked, "Has Zixuan been giving you trouble these last few days? She’s very angry after knowing that grandpa plans to give you the mall she was organizing, she came back and threw a big tantrum."

"No, don’t worry, she wouldn’t dare to trouble me."

With the position she and Mu Yunlie now held in Old Master Mu’s heart, if Mu Zixuan dared to cause trouble openly, what she would lose wouldn’t just be a mall after Old Master Mu found out.

She believed Mu Zixuan understood the seriousness of the situation.

After the conversation with Mu Ziqing, Yan Qianyi changed her clothes and prepared to go out.

Aunt Xue saw her and asked, "Miss, you’ve just come back, where are you going this late?"

"I’m going out to handle some business."

Aunt Xue looked at the supper just placed on the table, "Why not eat something first? It’s all ready, and you just said you were hungry, didn’t you?"

"I won’t eat, I’ll be back soon."

Yan Qianyi hurriedly left.

After getting into the car, she thought for a moment, worrying that Yunlie might come back and be concerned upon seeing her not at home, she still decided to send him a message explaining the situation.

"Ah Lie, I’m heading to the clubhouse to find little aunt, she took something very important from me."

After sending the message, Yan Qianyi drove to Mu Huaner’s clubhouse.

Mu Huaner wasn’t at the Mu Family’s, the only place she knew to find her was that clubhouse.

She had to get her mother’s diary back as soon as possible.

This was not just evidence of Mu Chen’s guilt, but also proof of Mother’s innocence.

It was also a keepsake left by Mother.

No matter what, she had to retrieve it!

Now, she could only hope that Mu Huaner and Mu Chen were not in cahoots, after all, Mu Huaner had a good relationship with Mu Feng.

If Mu Huaner was in league with Mu Chen and had destroyed the diary, there would be no physical evidence to prove that Mu Feng’s death was due to a massive hemorrhage caused by taking an unidentified drug.

At the same time, Mu Huaner was drinking in a clubhouse.

After draining the glass, she flipped through Shu Meng’s diary once again.

Her thoughts drifted to that day...

She woke up in Mu Yunlie’s house and found that Yan Qianyi had already left.

She was convinced that it was Shu Meng who had killed Mu Feng back then, and now Yan Yao was out to kill Mu Yunlie, which is why Yan Qianyi had fled as a fugitive.

Eager to find Yan Qianyi’s slip-up, she went to the laboratory to have a look.

That’s when she found the diary lying on the desk.

Seeing that it was signed by Shu Meng on the cover, she curiously opened it and began to read.

Then she saw the diary entry Shu Meng had written on the day of Mu Feng’s incident.

The content of the diary was:

I never expected that the patient I was resuscitating today would be Mu Feng.

He suddenly experienced massive bleeding during surgery, and I identified that the cause of his hemorrhage was a blood-activating drug he had taken before the procedure.

To investigate the cause of death clearly, I informed his brother, Mu Chen, about Mu Feng’s condition.

Mu Chen adamantly insisted that Mu Feng had committed suicide and forbade me from revealing the cause of death.

Indeed, they were from the Mu Family, and if leaked, this would impact Mu’s stock market.

Mu Chen warned me that this was their family matter and that I should not interfere.

He said that if this matter affected the Mu’s, all the medical staff present during the rescue would pay a price, and even the Yan Group might vanish from this world.

I had no doubt that Mu Chen could do what he said, given that he was the second young master of the Mu Family.

And the Mu Family was the richest family in the entire Federation Empire, with immense power.

I had seen how cruel the methods of capitalists could be.

As a doctor, I should have persisted.

But I couldn’t involve my colleagues, nor my daughter, who was only a few years old.

I dared not even think about what would happen if something happened to me, what would become of Qianyi? I couldn’t let her lose her mother at such a young age.

Helpless, I had no choice but to comply with Mu Chen’s demands and had all the medical staff involved in the rescue sign a confidentiality agreement.

Mu Chen offered a considerable sum to each person to keep their mouths shut.

It seemed like my colleagues didn’t suspect anything, all believing that Mu Feng, intent on suicide, took drugs again before jumping.

But I didn’t believe it.

I knew about Mu Feng’s two sons, and as a mother, I couldn’t believe that Mu Feng, as a father, would choose to abandon two innocent children because he missed his deceased wife too much.

After all, the man I knew was a very competent and good father.

I’m sorry that I couldn’t save him from the hands of death.

However, it may be for the best that my colleagues believe it; as the saying goes, ignorance is innocence.

Let me be the one to shoulder this sin.

I’m not afraid of punishment, I only wish that my daughter and son can grow up safe and healthy.
