Chapter 422 Which Song Yunuan?

Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Which Song Yunuan?

Song Yunuan hadn’t expected the plot to be triggered so suddenly and unexpectedly.

At the moment, they were in front of the restaurant.

The old lady selling candied hawthorns had already been taken away.

Song Yunuan stood at the main entrance, without the intention to go to the police station; she had already made things clear back at the restaurant.

She was about to go home for dinner.

But when the old man, arriving with an aggressive momentum, grabbed Old Master Gu’s wrist, a series of images flashed before Song Yunuan’s eyes.

Her foot, initially raised to leave, hesitated and remained in place.

It wasn’t that she liked to meddle, but because this aggressively approaching old man, surnamed Qian, had connections with Shangguan Heng.

Song Yunuan thought back to the triggering conditions of the plot.

It seemed that the chance of triggering was higher when both parties were gathered together, as they were now.

To know what the connection was, one would likely have to wait until this Old Man Qian and Shangguan Heng were together.

But Song Yunuan knew that this Old Man Qian bore great hostility towards a young girl named Song Yunuan; that is, towards herself.

He had colluded with Shangguan Heng, then facilitated her going to the summer camp.

If it weren’t for possessing some skills, she really would have been harmed by the Zhong family’s bodyguards.

Thinking of this, Song Yunuan’s fists became harder.

She had been too lenient with Adah and the others.

Adah and Acheng, who were at the hospital helping the young master with rehabilitation training, felt a sudden cold sweat break out on their backs for no apparent reason.

For some reason, they had a bad premonition.

Could something be about to happen?

At this moment, Song Yunuan glanced at Qian Yingchen. This old man’s conscience was rotten to the core.

So, Song Yunuan didn’t leave.

Old Man Qian grabbed Old Gu’s wrist in a flurry, saying frantically, "Old Gu, this...you’re really being unreasonable. We’ve been good friends for so many years. My wife has never made any psychotropic incense, she doesn’t know anything about that stuff; she’s been framed and falsely accused."

Old Master Gu shoved Old Man Qian away.

Then, Old Master Gu put some distance between himself and Old Man Qian.

Old Master Gu said coldly, "Old Qian, whether it’s a frame-up is not for you to say to me. There will be people to investigate and gather evidence. What’s true can’t be faked, and what’s fake can’t be made true. So, you old thing, why are you spilling your grievances on me? Keep on pestering, and I’ll turn my back on you."

He then glanced at a police officer and gave him a look, implying that he should escort Song Yunuan home.

It was relatively safer for the police to escort someone.

Old Man Qian hadn’t noticed Song Yunuan, as he was anxious about his wife not being at the police station but at the sub-division.

He did get to see her, but the involvement was deemed complicated, and she was still required to cooperate with the investigation. After all, Second Aunt Zhang and Shangguan Wan, to shift the blame off themselves, had no psychological burden in exposing Qu Limei.

Shangguan Yunqi had a hold over Qu Limei; otherwise, how could the old woman be so obedient and craft the psychotropic incense?

They were human evidence, and there was physical evidence at home; the tests had been done, and there were Qu Limei’s fingerprints.

However, Old Mrs. Qian Qu Limei, relying on her seniority, claimed she was feeling unwell, her heart uncomfortable and gasping for air—either she needed to go to the hospital, or she wanted to go home.

She insisted that she did not know how to produce the psychotropic incense. The only person who knew was the late matriarch.

It could have been the matriarch who, to harm her, colluded with these two and framed her.

Day by day, all she did was tend to her flowers and plants, and the children in the household could attest to that—where would she learn to craft incense?

And then Old Man Qian also learned that it was a young girl named Song Yunuan who had turned in Second Aunt Zhang and Shangguan Wan.

Song Yunuan—how was it that she was everywhere?

Why did she report it?

They hadn’t done anything to her; such deep-seated schemes for a young girl, truly malevolent.

No wonder Shangguan Heng called Song Yunuan a little devil.

At that moment, Old Man Qian’s face was grim, "Old Gu, you may be confused, but I’m not. I know you just want to drag me down with you. Fine, I admit it, I’ll jump in with you. But my wife is innocent. She’s too old to suffer like this in there. Speak to the higher-ups, get her released first, and then we can investigate slowly. Surely everything that can be investigated will be clarified. Go on, go and tell them."

Despite having left his post, Old Gu was of no use.

He wanted to get someone out, but it simply wasn’t feasible.

They say if someone is implicated in a certain case, they cannot be released.

That case was thirty years old.

It was said that psychotropic incense was carried by someone at that time.

Old Qian didn’t understand much and could only look everywhere for Old Gu.

Unexpectedly, he found him at the entrance of the restaurant.

After saying all this, Old Qian was ready to pull Old Gu away, but then he saw Song Yunuan standing nearby with a smile on her face.

Thinking it over, he asked, "Who is this?"

Old Gu shrugged off the annoying Old Qian without acknowledging him and said to the officer directly, "Take the young friend home."

Much to everyone’s surprise, Song Yunuan cheerfully took the initiative to respond, "My name is Song Yunuan. Didn’t you help me get a spot at the summer camp? I haven’t even had a chance to thank you."

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Especially Old Master Gu, who was utterly dumbfounded.

Unable to catch his breath, he began to cough violently.

At that moment, Old Master Gu’s bodyguard arrived, having been notified by the police.

After Old Master Gu finished coughing, the bodyguard rushed to pass him a thermos.

Once Old Master Gu took a sip of water, he calmed his excited emotions and looked at Song Yunuan in disbelief, asking, "You... you are Song Yunuan? Which... which Song Yunuan are you?"

Song Yunuan’s eyes shone brightly, "I’m Song Yunuan from Erdao River."

Old Master Gu then took a serious look at Song Yunuan up and down.

Already holding a very good impression, and now devoid of any prejudice, he found Song Yunuan truly admirable.

Such demeanor, even a hundred Qian Annas couldn’t compare.

Not to mention, she was indeed very clever.

Old Master Gu didn’t realize his face was covered in smiles.

In his heart, he even thought that it must be fate that Little Nuan was connected to the jade bracelet.

If it hadn’t been for Little Nuan showing up today, that thief would have really stolen the bracelet right under his nose and transferred it out in broad daylight.

Even if he turned the restaurant upside down, he would’ve found nothing.

Perhaps there was some kind of divine intervention.

His previously somewhat depressed mood suddenly improved.

However, Old Man Qian’s expression darkened, his eyes wide with unease.

He had been planning to look for Song Yunuan.

But here, the young girl had shown up on her own.

Yet he was somewhat incredulous, because Song Yunuan was nothing like the country girl he had imagined.

What kind of family could raise someone with such temperament?

Therefore, he simply didn’t believe it and asked skeptically, "You... you are Song Yunuan?"

Song Yunuan continued to smile, her voice clear and pleasant, "Yes, I am Song Yunuan. Actually, I’d like to have a chat with you."

Old Man Qian was taken aback, "What do you want to talk about?"

Song Yunuan said, "Let’s talk about how your wife made psychotropic incense for Second Aunt Zhang to use against me. She won’t admit it, but denial is pointless. Second Aunt Zhang has solid evidence in her hands."
