Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Sister Lan Sends Lin Yue to Prison - The Secret of Her Birth Revealed [1 Update]

He didn’t know what Ye Wanlan was about to say, and he also didn’t know if she was aware of his actions...

But whatever would come out of her mouth would absolutely be harmful and not beneficial to him in any way!

He absolutely could not let her speak!

"Lin Yue!" Lin Woyu shouted angrily, "What do you think you’re doing to your cousin?"

Lin Weilan was also extremely furious: "Lin Yue!"

With Ye Wanlan’s skills, how could Lin Yue possibly touch her? She merely lightly pinched Lin Yue’s shoulder, her fingers skillfully twisting his shoulder blade.

Lin Yue only felt that all his strength had been drained in an instant, his entire arm going numb.

"Bang!"

Ye Wanlan then lifted her leg, kicking Lin Yue’s knee, completely depriving him of the ability to move.

Although Lin Yue was 1.8 meters tall, he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. His legs giving out, he knelt on the ground.

"Ah Lan..." Lin Weilan exclaimed in shock.

She truly hadn’t seen how Ye Wanlan made her move, but each strike hit Lin Yue’s weak points precisely.

If Ye Wanlan had been holding a weapon, just one strike would have been enough to end Lin Yue’s life.

This wasn’t ordinary combat; these were lethal techniques.

Lin Weilan’s gaze slightly sharpened.

"Auntie, the precious son of Bai Jingxue has made contact with the people who ran into you," Ye Wanlan lifted her head, "Yesterday, those men went into the hospital under his lead, plotting to make a move on you. Him asking this way this morning, I’m afraid he must have thought you were already gone."

"..."

The hospital room fell into silence.

Lin Woyu looked at Lin Yue incredulously, her lips trembling: "So the reason you asked me if I slept well last night was because..."

She couldn’t finish the sentence; just opening her mouth made her feel as if a huge tear had been ripped through her heart.

A cold breeze poured in, cutting deep into her chest, the sour and painful feeling spread throughout her body, piercing to the bone would not be an exaggeration.

It is said that when grief reaches its peak, one might even laugh.

Looking at Lin Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, Lin Woyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This was the good son she had raised by hand!

One who was only thinking about her death!

"You bastard!" Lin Weilan raised her hand and slapped Lin Yue across the face, unable to contain her fury, "Even birds and beasts know to reciprocate kindness, you’re truly worse than a beast!"

A red swelling quickly appeared on Lin Yue’s face, and he suddenly looked up: "Grandma, I didn’t! Why are you all taking Ye Wanlan’s word for it? Just because she says I killed someone, does that mean I did?"

In the nearly two months since Ye Wanlan had returned, he had watched as the People of the Lin Family increasingly sided with her.

Why?

Why, when Ye Wanlan came back, could those four years of actions be as if they never happened?

Why was he, for a momentary lapse in judgment, being driven out of the Lin Family?

"I didn’t say you killed anyone, but I did say you injured and hit someone," Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently, "Are you satisfied now?"

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, still not quite catching up, when the door was pushed open.

Two uniformed police officers entered.

"We received a report that you violated the public security management laws. On the evening of July 8th, you deliberately injured someone at Little Gold Mountain, causing damage and committing arson," one of the policemen took out an arrest warrant and spoke coldly, "Please come with us for questioning and investigation."

"Congratulations, you will be staying in the Juvenile Detention Center until you’re of age," Ye Wanlan looked at him, mentioning casually, "But I suggest you sue your father for neglecting you at birth, otherwise once you get out, you’ll truly have no home to return to."

Although Lin Yue did not directly attack Lin Woyu, every step he took was directed towards putting her in grave danger.

And she absolutely would not show mercy to her enemies.

With a click, Lin Yue’s hands were cuffed, and that’s when he finally started to panic.

He had caused plenty of trouble before, but also knew the severity of situations, and had never ended up in the police station. Lin Woyu always cleaned up his messes for him, so he never worried about repercussions.

"Mom, I was really wrong! Mom!" Lin Yue wept bitterly, "I don’t want a criminal record, I want to pursue public service in the future, Mom—!"

His cries did not move Lin Woyu. She looked at him with a calm and detached gaze, neither crying nor questioning.

Nothing is more sorrowful than a heart that has died.

She was completely done with Lin Yue, her son.

The police took Lin Yue away, and the hospital room returned to its quiet state.

"Xiao Yu, sigh..." Knowing Lin Woyu appeared calm on the surface but was suffering inside, Lin Weilan gently patted her back, "Don’t be sad, your mom is still here."

At these words, Lin Woyu’s defenses collapsed, and the tears she had held back for so long fell, sobbing: "Mom..."

After all, Lin Yue was flesh that had fallen from her body, one she had raised for eighteen years; how could her feelings not run deep?

But this car accident had left her unconscious, and Lin Yue had deeply hurt her heart. She was utterly disappointed and disillusioned with him.

Just yesterday, as a mother, she yet held out hope for her son, wishing he could change for the better.

But Lin Yue had actually colluded with a murderer, hoping she would die!

"Don’t cry, don’t cry," Lin Weilan held Lin Woyu, consoling her, "Xiao Yu, this is not your fault, don’t blame yourself."

A long time ago, Lin Yue had begun to rot from his core, and this was just it coming to a head.

Lin Woyu’s body was not yet healed, and her spirit had suffered a great blow, so she cried herself to sleep.

Ye Wanlan covered Lin Woyu with a blanket: "Grandma, I have taken care of everything. Let Auntie rest well."

"Ah Lan, don’t overwork yourself," Lin Weilan found she was beginning to understand her granddaughter less and less.

But no matter what, Ye Wanlan was her granddaughter, and she would give her unconditional trust.

Still, Lin Weilan was indeed very confused—

Why had her granddaughter been controlled by something else for so long?

And where had Ye Wanlan been during those four years?

"Don’t worry, Grandma, I know what I’m doing," Ye Wanlan replied with a faint smile, "You stay here with Auntie; I’m heading to the training camp now."

Lin Weilan snapped back to reality, "Alright, be safe on your way."

**

At Jiangcheng University, the seven-day physics competition summer training camp was coming to an end.

Today was also the last in-class test.

After the last incident, Professor Zhuang was extremely cautious and decided to correct the tests during his lunch break.

He had to admit, when grading Ye Wanlan’s paper, it was like admiring a piece of art.

Her answers were very fluid, with an extremely strong sense of logic.

Such problem-solving abilities were as though she had become one with the vast ocean of physics.

Professor Zhuang even made a photocopy of Ye Wanlan’s answer sheet to keep and treasure.

If not for the fact that Ye Wanlan was only eighteen this year, he would have thought she had been studying physics for hundreds of years!

"Today is our last class, and I’m very happy to have gathered here with all of you," Professor Zhuang said kindly, pushing up his glasses, "Even if you don’t go on to study physics in the future, you will shine in your own fields. I have already submitted the list of outstanding students to the headquarters in Yunjing. I look forward to your brilliant performance in the physics competition two months from now!"

"Clap, clap, clap—"

Applause thundered throughout the room.

The seven days of learning indeed brought immense benefits to many students.

Lin Wenli finally overcame a problem that had troubled him for a long time, and a faint smile could even be seen on his poker face.

Xu Nanchu approached him somewhat shyly, "Wenli, the course has finally ended, can I today—"

"No," Lin Wenli cut him off without courtesy, "Sis, let’s go home."

In the past, when Xu Nanchu asked him questions, he would answer them.

But not anymore.

He hated these wealthy heirs who spoke ill of Ye Wanlan behind her back.

"Alright, let’s go," Ye Wanlan dusted off her clothes.

Ignoring Xu Nanchu, Lin Wenli and Ye Wanlan left the classroom side by side.

At the Lin Family home, Lin Huaijin had prepared a large table of dishes to celebrate their completion of the training camp.

After dinner, Lin Huaijin asked, "Ah Lan, your birthday is coming up soon, how do you want to celebrate it?"

Ye Wanlan’s eighteenth birthday, her coming-of-age ceremony, definitely couldn’t be treated lightly.

Lin Wenli also looked up, his gaze intense.

"A birthday is just another date. I’ll spend it just like any other day," Ye Wanlan didn’t care much.

To her, time was just a number.

"No way!" Lin Huaijin shook his head, "This is your coming-of-age ceremony, a once-in-a-lifetime event in everyone’s life. How can it be ordinary?"

Ye Wanlan fell silent.

In her life as Princess Yongning, she indeed hadn’t seen her eighteenth birthday.

"I’ll listen to Uncle," Ye Wanlan raised her head and smiled.

"Then how about we throw a birthday party for you at the old house? Invite your classmates over for a meal, sing some songs," Lin Huaijin calculated, "Invite anyone else you want to come."

The usually reticent Khor Peiqing spoke up, "The takeout will create too much grease in the air, let’s cook at home."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes curved like crescent moons, "I’ll listen to Auntie, too."

"Great, then I’ll start planning," Lin Huaijin was very happy, humming a tune as he went off to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Khor Peiqing placed the prepared fruit on the table and said indifferently, "Eat, replenish Vitamin C."

In Harbor City, at the An Family home,

Bai Jingxue stood in the yard feeling somewhat uneasy, waiting for the servant to dust off his clothes with a feather duster before entering the hall.

On the sofa, An Jinxiu was drinking tea.

"Jinxiu, I’m back," Bai Jingxue sighed, "What a big misunderstanding, my ex-wife is perfectly fine!"

"You’re sensible enough not to forcibly bring your son back," An Jinxiu said indifferently, "Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to return to the An Family today."

"This, he..." Bai Jingxue, feeling embarrassed and searching for a conversation topic, turned to Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, I met someone at the Lin Family, named Ye Wanlan. All the way back, I kept thinking and finally figured out who she reminds me of!"

For a non-family member related to the Lin Family, An Jinxiu cared even less and asked absentmindedly, "Reminds you of whom?"

Bai Jingxue’s hands trembled slightly; it took a while before he managed to bring out two photographs.

His throat bobbed, his voice trembling, "Jinxiu, look, don’t they look alike?"

An Jinxiu looked over and her expression suddenly changed.
