Lin Xuefei ate her meal in silence, saying not a word. She hung her head low, and no one could see her expression.
Others only thought that Lin Yan had a cold, but Lin Xuefei knew clearly that Lin Yan must have taken the medicine she gave him yesterday. The medicine was not harmful to the body, but it would make people listless. Lin Xuefei originally thought that in this way, Lin Yan would have no energy to interfere in her business and would just go to sleep when he was free. That would be great.
Sure enough, after finishing his meal, Lin Yan went upstairs to rest.
Just like this, one day passed in a daze. Early the next morning, a shrill scream came from the hall.
"Ah!"
The earth - shattering scream made Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen in the room come out of their rooms together.
Lin Xuefei also came out and glanced at the hall.
There, lying at the bottom of the stairs in the hall, was a person. The maid had already checked, and the person was dead.
This person was none other than Lin Yan in his pajamas.
"How could this happen?" Xia Weilan covered her mouth.
All the people were in a complete mess. They were all chattering and rushed out. But when they saw the situation in the hall, they all fell silent and turned their faces away.
Lin Xuefei walked over with a sad look on her face and murmured, "How could he just fall down like this? Was it a slip? Oh my god, my little Yan!"
Lin Xuefei wanted to cry but couldn't. Her voice was just full of grief.
Mo Beichen noticed Xia Weilan's uneasiness and took her into his arms. No one suspected that Lin Xuefei, who was making the most noise at the moment, was the murderer, because Lin Xuefei never went upstairs.
Xia Weilan was supported by Mo Beichen and walked downstairs. She never thought that Lin Yan, who was fine last night, would end up like this.
However, not long after, Wei Hongmei rushed over in a hurry and was directly led into the hall by Lin Xuefei.
Wei Hongmei looked as if she was going to kill someone. As soon as she saw Xia Weilan, she growled in a low voice, "How did you take care of Lin Yan? Why did such a good person die? Did you think he was a burden and killed him?"
Xia Weilan was only sad and was no match for Wei Hongmei. She just let Wei Hongmei vent her anger on her. She just cried silently with her head up and didn't say a word.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xuefei was secretly happy. Then she quietly pulled Wei Hongmei and said, "Mom, the person is already dead. Don't be so excited. The most important thing now is for the living to continue to live well."
When Lin Xuefei led Wei Hongmei in just now, she told Wei Hongmei that the person had an accident on the Mo family's territory. They must get the compensation, and it couldn't be less. Only in this way could Wei Hongmei have money for her old - age care.
Who would have thought that Wei Hongmei didn't listen to Lin Xuefei. Somehow, she took out a knife from her bosom and was about to rush towards Xia Weilan and kill her. "You killed your younger brother. I'm going to avenge him."
Everyone exclaimed, and Lin Xuefei was also shocked. Xia Weilan just reacted when she saw the knife in front of her. She didn't have time to think and just felt that she couldn't escape this time.
But the next second, Mo Beichen's strong hand quickly and accurately grabbed Wei Hongmei's wrist and then pushed her out forcefully.
Several bodyguards reacted and pinned Wei Hongmei down from both sides. The knife was also taken away.
"I don't want to live anymore. You're bullying me too much. Give me back my Yan'er." Wei Hongmei was like a shrew, just shouting and screaming. Finally, she simply sat on the ground, not caring about her dignity at all, just throwing a tantrum and crying, asking people to give her back Lin Yan.
A vein on Lin Xuefei's forehead twitched. Why didn't Wei Hongmei do as she said? Instead of asking for the compensation, she even wanted to kill someone. She was just incredibly stupid.
Xia Weilan looked at Lin Yan on the ground, then at Wei Hongmei on the ground, and Lin Xuefei who was silent. She just felt extremely upset.
"Send this person out. Don't let her cause any more trouble." Mo Beichen ordered.
When the crying gradually faded away, Mo Beichen said to Xia Weilan, "The most important thing now is to bury Lin Yan properly. Don't think too much about other things."
"No." Xia Weilan grabbed Mo Beichen's hand. "I've long noticed that Lin Yan was in poor health, but I didn't care. It's my fault that I killed him. My mom is right. She entrusted Lin Yan to me to take care of him, but I took such bad care of him. No wonder my mom wants to kill me."
Xia Weilan's face was a mixture of self - accusation and pain.
Outside the villa, Wei Hongmei made a big scene and suddenly fainted.
She was immediately sent to the hospital.
In the hospital, when Xia Weilan came in, as soon as Wei Hongmei saw her, she immediately jumped up and accused Xia Weilan, "You killed Yan'er. Give me back my Yan'er. I really regret why I gave birth to you. I gave birth to a jinx like you. You've ruined the Lin family and killed Yan'er. If I had known this, I might as well not have given birth to you. It's a sin!"
Wei Hongmei was weak all over, as if she had suffered from a serious illness. She had no power to harm anyone now.
"I was negligent and didn't notice that Lin Yan was in poor health. I'll take care of you in your old age from now on." This was Xia Weilan's purpose for coming today. Anyway, Wei Hongmei was the person Lin Yan cared about most.
"I don't need your care in old age. I want you to pay for your crime with your blood!" This was a rare time when Wei Hongmei mentioned money but was not tempted.
She just felt that her heart and soul were gone, and there was no point in living. Now, even if she was going to offend Mo Beichen, she was not afraid.
"I'm going to call the police." She murmured to herself. Suddenly, she took out her phone on the spot and made a call in front of Xia Weilan. "Hello, I want to call the police. My black - hearted daughter killed my son. You should come and arrest her quickly. Yes, he died in my daughter's house, at the Jinxiu Yuting..."
Wei Hongmei looked extremely fierce and firmly insisted that it was Xia Weilan who had killed Lin Yan and asked the police to arrest her quickly. But the police were a little skeptical when they heard that it was Mo Beichen's wife who had killed someone.
"I'm telling the truth. I'm not playing a prank, and I'm in a clear mind." Wei Hongmei said. Unwillingly, she was about to get out of bed. "I'll go there right now to prove it. I'll go right now."
Saying that, Wei Hongmei gave Xia Weilan a fierce look and ran out.
Xia Weilan silently watched Wei Hongmei's back. Long before, she and Wei Hongmei had already become strangers. She just didn't expect that it would turn out like this. Wei Hongmei wished she could kill her and have her arrested.
Surrounded by bodyguards, Xia Weilan returned to the Jinxiu Yuting. Sure enough, she saw several police cars parked in front of the villa. When she entered the hall, she saw policemen in uniforms asking the maids in the villa questions with pens and papers in their hands.
Xia Weilan walked over and was also asked a few questions by the police. But her testimony was the same as Mo Beichen's. They had stayed in their room together last night and never came out.
As for how Lin Yan fell from the building, none of the maids knew. At that time, the maids were all in the maid's quarters, and no one was suspected.
"This is strange. Why does that Mrs. Wei insist that there was a murder here?" After a thorough investigation, the police didn't find any suspicious people. They couldn't help but mutter to themselves. At this time, seeing Lin Xuefei being wheeled in, the police asked as usual, "Come here and tell us where you were last night?"
Lin Xuefei didn't expect there to be so many policemen in the villa, and everyone was looking at her seriously.
Lin Xuefei secretly told herself not to panic. Then she walked over with a pained look on her face. "Comrade policeman, the one who died is my younger brother, Lin Yan. Have you caught the murderer? Did my brother fall accidentally or was he killed?"
"We're still investigating. Where were you last night?" The policeman frowned. He was a little unhappy that his topic had been diverted.
"I was in my room last night. My room is on the first floor. As you can see, I'm a cripple, so I can only live on the first floor and never go upstairs on weekdays." Lin Xuefei said calmly.
The policeman looked at Lin Xuefei's leg and didn't say anything more. He just shook his head.
At this time, a policeman upstairs suddenly said, "Hey, why is there a button here?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuefei looked up at the policeman on the second floor. Her heart skipped a beat. She was worried that it was a button that had fallen off her clothes.
