Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 287 - 287 284 Huge Treason

Chapter 287: Chapter 284: Huge Treason Chapter 287: Chapter 284: Huge Treason With a “bang,” Yao Yeqiang’s palm did not land on Mu Jiawen’s face, but his ankle twisted, and he stumbled to the ground.

He was originally going to fall on Mu Jiawen, but she quickly dodged out of the way.

With an outstretched hand hitting nothing but air, Yao Yeqiang’s aged body thudded face-first into the ground, embracing the earth intimately.

Passing students who witnessed the scene were stunned, and soon someone reacted, pointing at the unmoving Yao Yeqiang on the ground and exclaiming with alarm, “Blood, blood…”

Yao Yeqiang’s driver, who had been surveying the surroundings from a nearby parking spot, heard the student’s scream and turned to look, recognizing the familiar figure on the ground. He paused, then quickly ran over with a sense of urgency.

“Mr. Yao? Mr. Yao?”

The driver had not seen the altercation just moments before, so he was unaware of what had transpired. However, he recognized the girl in front of him as Mr. Yao’s granddaughter because he had been looking at her photo all the way up until yesterday, and had shown it to him as well.

“What happened? What’s wrong with your grandfather?” The driver looked up at Mu Jiawen while quickly taking out his phone to call for an ambulance.

Yao Yeqiang had clearly fainted, and there was a pool of blood under his forehead; the driver dared not move him.

“Don’t talk nonsense; I have nothing to do with him.”

Mu Jiawen also took out her phone to make a call. She dialed the police, and said, “I’m calling the police now. This old man must have come from a mental institution. Not only did he stop me for no reason, he tried to hit me. Senior sisters, you saw him trying to hit me just now, right?”

The two female students who had witnessed the entire incident and hadn’t left were convinced by Mu Jiawen’s forthright demeanor and the fact that she really did press 110, affirming that she did not know the man on the ground.

The two said to the driver, “You know him, right? He was indeed about to hit someone just a moment ago. His fall was due to his own loss of balance, and it has nothing to do with this junior sister.”

From start to finish, Mu Jiawen indeed had no physical contact with him; of course, kicking two small stones under his feet didn’t count.

The driver was flabbergasted!

But wasn’t he here to acknowledge his granddaughter? Why did he start hitting someone?

“Could you two senior sisters please wait a moment and be my witnesses? It wouldn’t be right to be framed by someone in such a baseless situation,” Mu Jiawen politely said to the two female students after calling the police.

The driver had called 120 first, but 110 arrived first.

As the police car with flashing red and blue lights pulled up to the entrance of Beijing University, Jiang Yan also happened to be coming out of school.

He looked at the not-too-large crowd gathered in front of him with surprise, especially noticing the tall figure of the female student in the middle.

What happened here?

Jiang Yan took long strides over there, covering ground quickly. First, he looked down at the man lying on the ground, then turned his head to see the police coming out of their car, and then his gaze rested on Mu Jiawen, who was completely calm. He chose to keep quiet and not ask any questions for the time being.

“What happened to this man?”

The police officer who got out of the car first noticed Yao Yeqiang collapsed on the ground, the pool of blood under his forehead was shockingly vivid. He hurried forward to check and found the man was still breathing; the blood was flowing profusely because both the forehead and nose had been injured, resulting in not just forehead blood but also nosebleeds.

His fall had also trapped his left arm beneath his body, leaving it uncertain whether there were any fractures, so the officer dared not move him.

Following procedure, he asked who made the call and what exactly had happened?

Mu Jiawen spoke up, “I called. This person stopped me in the street for no reason, insisting he was my grandfather. When I said he had the wrong person, he accused me of gross disrespect for not acknowledging him and then charged at me, trying to hit me before he fell over.”

The two senior sisters who had not heard the content of the argument nodded in agreement, “That’s exactly what happened. A lot of people saw this elderly man raise his hand to hit the junior sister. He was very aggressive.”

Several male students also nodded in agreement.

The officer turned to the driver who had stayed by Yao Yeqiang’s side and asked, “What’s your relationship with him?”

“I’m his family chauffeur.”

“What’s his name?”

“Yao Yeqiang.”

“Where is he from?”

“From North City.”

“Then do you know why he wanted to do this?”

The driver hesitated, he had been working as Yao Yeqiang’s driver for five years, and had followed him to Yunzhou throughout the trip, even though he was not clear about the despicable things Yao Yeqiang did back then, he had guessed that the daughter from the countryside was an illegitimate daughter.

And recognizing his kin was just something he wanted to do on his own.

There was nobody left in his family, and that’s when he remembered he had an illegitimate daughter and two granddaughters outside.

But could he talk about it?

He hemmed and hawed, “Actually, I don’t really know the specifics, before we came he just said his granddaughter was here…”

The policeman pointed to Mu Jiawen and asked the driver, “The granddaughter he mentioned, is it her?”

The driver nodded, “Yes, he had a photo of this girl in his hand.”

Mu Jiawen furrowed her brow, and just at that time, Mu Chenyan, who had received the message, hurried over. She walked up to Mu Jiawen’s side and said to the police, “I am her mother, and these are our identity cards.”

Mu Chenyan handed over their identity cards, then she glanced at Yao Yeqiang lying on the ground, and turned to look at the stunned driver.

No, this…

Wasn’t that woman from the countryside in Yunzhou the mother of this girl?

How come another one has appeared?

He glanced at Mu Chenyan, who clearly had an extraordinary demeanor, then at Mu Jiawen. At first glance, they didn’t seem to resemble each other very much, but on closer inspection, one could see that their expressions and mannerisms were very similar.

To say they were mother and daughter, nobody would doubt it.

So, had Old Mr. Yao… made a mistake?

The policeman noticed the driver’s expression and asked him, “You just said this girl is his granddaughter, but this lady’s surname is Mu, not Yao.”

The driver was at a loss for words, unable to utter a single sentence.

He was just a driver; how could he know exactly what was going on? Could it be that Old Mr. Yao had another illegitimate daughter?

Tsk, what a mess!

“So it was a case of mistaken identity?”

The driver didn’t know.

The ambulance from emergency services 120 arrived, and after the doctors and nurses rushed forward to check on the patient, they moved him onto a stretcher and began administering first aid. Before he could be lifted into the ambulance, Yao Yeqiang woke up.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Mu Jiawen standing not far away. He lifted his arm, pointed at her with a trembling finger, and called out with quivering lips in a hoarse voice, “Unfilial… unfilial and wicked…”

Just before, when Mu Jiawen was mentioning the same four words during the police statement, the two officers exchanged glances, confirming that the old man was indeed not in his right mind.

The older policeman turned to the driver and said, “Where is his family? Notify his family to come over. He hurt himself; it has nothing to do with these people.”

The driver sighed, “They’re all gone, he’s the only one left in his family.”

Policeman: …

No, even if his family is gone, he can’t just randomly recognize granddaughters!

Or is it because he saw that she was pretty, he insisted on having her call him grandpa?

There’s no such thing!

The policeman closed the notebook he was holding, planning to close the case.

At this moment, Mu Jiawen, arm in arm with Mu Chenyan, stepped forward and said to Yao Yeqiang lying on the stretcher, “Look carefully, this is my mother! Xie Jingying has nothing to do with me.”
