“We’ve been investigating Chu Yun’s whereabouts recently, but we never expected that Chu Yun would be in your hands, Yinyin.” Ye Wen smiled and shook her head.
Lin Yin did not expect Ye Wen to be investigating Chu Yun too. Now that she thought about it, the Mu family had been investigating Zhou Li. It was normal for them to find out about Chu Yun. She had forgotten about this and smiled in embarrassment.
“Actually, apart from confessing these things to you today, there’s one more thing I really want to confirm with you,” Lin Yin said.
“Yinyin, tell us. We’ll tell you everything we know,” Mu Cheng said proudly as he looked at Lin Yin.
He did not expect Lin Yin to have grown to the point where she could protect herself without their participation. At the same time, his heart ached. An
18-year-old girl was no longer acting coquettishly in the arms of her parents. Instead, she could already deal with all kinds of dangers freely. How much pain had piled up?
Lin Yin asked, “I want you to think about it. With Zhou Li’s personality, will he really kill the Mu family just because he’s not loved or chased out of the country? Is he the kind of person who wants to kill everyone in the Mu family just because of hate?”
Mu Cheng thought for a moment and asked tentatively, “Yinyin, are you suspecting that Zhou Li wants more?”
Lin Yin nodded. “I’m just guessing. I’m wondering why Zhou Hai appeared in the Huo Family as Huo Ge. Is it because of the Huo Family’s assets? The Huo Family still doesn’t think that Huo Ge isn’t the real Huo Ge, which means that this trap was set a long time ago.”
“Huo Ge is 23 years old this year. The year I was thrown away, Huo Ge was already five years old! If a five-year-old child was changed, he would definitely be discovered. Therefore, Huo Ge should have been changed a long time ago. It’s just that before I was born, Zhou Li might have been plotting to stuff the
fake Huo Ge into the Huo Family.”
Lin Yin’s words instantly attracted Ye Wen’s attention. “Back then, Zhou Li was chased out of the country two years before Yinyin was born. So according to what you said, before our Mu Family forcefully chased Zhou Li out of the country, Zhou Li had already changed the Huo Family’s child? Why?”
Ye Wen frowned and continued, “Moreover, I grew up with Zhou Li. If it’s just because of a lost love, with Zhou Li’s personality, he won’t kill the Mu family. He’s indeed sinister, but he’s calculative about gains and losses and won’t take risks. However, if he hates our Mu family for chasing him out of the country, he might attack our Mu family. After all, people change.”
Mu Cheng also had a heavy expression. “So, it’s possible that Zhou Li hates our Mu Family. But the fact that he set up to deal with the Huo Family so early means that Zhou Li has bigger motives.”
Lin Yin nodded and said, “If Zhou Hai is Zhou Li’s man, then it’s very likely that Zhou Li is behind the rebel gang. During this period of time, I got someone to specially investigate the rebel gang. This rebel gang started to make a name for themselves in Country D 25 years ago. In other words, before Zhou Li was chased out of the country, they had already established a rebel gang in Country D. Then, about three years after the rebel gang was established, they replaced a child from the Huo Family.”
“25 years ago?” Ye Wen looked at Lin Yin in surprise. Then, she looked at Mu Cheng and saw the same worry in her husband’s eyes.
Seeing that Mu Cheng and his wife’s expressions were not right, Lin Yin immediately realized that there might be something special about the time 25 years ago. “Did something happen that year?”
Ye Wen sighed and said, “That year, the head of the Fu Family, the number one family in the Capital, Fu Ying, was imprisoned and Fu Ying’s wife, Li MO, was tragically forced to death. At the same time, the Fu Family fell into a huge debt crisis. Even the other families in the Capital hit them when they were down and fought for the resources and projects of the Fu Family. The families close to the Fu Family also declined at that time, including the Zhou Family that Zhou Li was from and the Chu Family that Chu Yun was from.”
Mu Cheng knew that this topic was a little heavy for Ye Wen, so she continued, “A year later, Fu Ying committed suicide in prison. In just a year, the Fu Family declined. The Fu Family was such a big family, but they either fled or died. Only Fu Chen and his wife maintained the Fu Family, which was riddled with holes, for a few years. It was only 18 years ago that Fu Chen and Zhou Ying had an accident and their entire family died along with their unborn child..”
