Chapter 547 - Conspiracy

“No.” Dan Qi directly denied it. “Right after your mother recovered from her injuries and was discharged from the hospital, the amount in Zhong Kuijun’s bank account increased by five million. At that time, Zhong Kuijun was only a platoon leader of recruits. He was born in a village, and both his parents died. Therefore, your mother must have given this five million to him. It should have been an equivalent exchange between them. Your mother gave him money, and Zhong Kuijun protected and took care of her.

“Since then, Zhong Kuijun clung onto your mother. When she entered Jiang District for her cosmetic surgery, he used visiting as an excuse to… rape her.”

Zhong Nuannuan, “…!!!”

“Your mother wanted to lodge a report against him at the police station, but he knelt in front of your mother and proposed to her. However, it seemed like your mother refused.

“There was a period longer than a month where your mother did not see Zhong Kuijun. Yet, Zhong Kuijun came to visit your mother with his thick-skinned face every day. When she was discharged from the hospital, your mother realized that she was pregnant.”

Zhong Nuannuan was speechless.

“Your mother went to the hospital for a checkup. After confirming her pregnancy, she thought for a whole month before finally agreeing to Zhong Kuijun’s proposal.

“However, your mother didn’t know that Zhong Kuijun was a scumbag. Although they did not have a marriage certificate, he had already married a wife. They organized a banquet and everything. That was Jiang Shuwan. When Zhong Kuijun’s parents passed away, it was Jiang Shuwan who begged her parents to pay for Zhong Kuijun. Zhong Kuijun was able to join the army in the city because Jiang Shuwan’s parents pulled some strings for him. At that time, Jiang Shuwan was already seven months pregnant and was about to give birth.”

Zhong Nuannuan listened in utter silence.

“When Jiang Shuwan found out that Zhong Kuijin was about to marry someone else, she came to cause trouble. Yet, Zhong Kuijun refused to admit that she was his wife. He only said that Jiang Shuwan was engaged to him when his parents were still alive. It didn’t count.”

“Since they organized a banquet, there will be people from the village who attended it. How did it all wash over just because he didn’t admit it?” Zhong Nuannuan asked.

“That’s what I thought as well, so I went to investigate his bank account. I realized that he had lost five hundred thousand yuan. I suspect that he had paid the villagers some hush money. After that, your mother followed Zhong Kuijun to their village. Not long after they returned, your mother registered her marriage with Zhong Kuijun.”

“Jiang Shuwan suffered such a great loss. How could she just let it go like this?”

“Of course not. Initially, I couldn’t understand why Jiang Shuwan stopped causing trouble after that first time. It was much later when I found out that Jiang Shuwan was planning something big instead. When your mother gave birth, she exchanged your mother’s anticoagulant medicine with coagulant medicine.”

“Yeah, I know. Selina has found the nurse who made the exchange.”

“But Zhong Kuijun was the one who gave Jiang Shuwan the medicine.”

Zhong Nuannuan thought, ‘…Indeed, there won’t be a person who can be considered most dastardly—only more dastardly than the next.’

“That means my mother was actually murdered by the conspiring duo?”

“At that time, your mother hired a nanny to take care of her. Our men had already found the nanny. She said that she saw your father putting poison into your mother’s medicine one day.”

“How did she know it was poison?” Zhong Nuannuan asked for every single detail. After all, one of them was her biological father.

“Because she told your mother that she found out that Zhong Kuijun had put poison into her medicine. Then, your mother came up with an excuse to send her out on an errand. It was then that your mother had her secretly send the medicine for tests.

“After she came back, she told your mother the results. Your mother knew that she wouldn’t be able to live for long, but she was afraid that Zhong Kuijun would harm you if the truth were to be exposed. So, she found a professional team of lawyers from the Swiss Bank and came up with a detailed will.”
