Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 552 - Chapter 552 Chapter 552 He Had an Idea in His Mind

Chapter 552: Chapter 552 He Had an Idea in His Mind Chapter 552: Chapter 552 He Had an Idea in His Mind Su Qingqing gently shook her head, “You’ve disappointed me so much, how could my mother be such a person.”

This was the first time she had expressed disappointment to Ye Miaoshan.

Since she was a child, she had restrained her behavior, growing up in the way Ye Miaoshan liked, yet in the end, their family still fell apart.

Su Qingyan said expressionlessly, “If you’ve done wrong, you must take responsibility.”

Ye Miaoshan’s already pale face turned even paler.

Su Fan said to the Lu Family, “I won’t interfere in this matter, do whatever you see fit with her, but I still need to apologize to you all; it’s because I didn’t manage things well with her that you were involved.”

He knew Ye Miaoshan too well; she must have blamed the Lu Family for the divorce to do such a thing.

“What does it have to do with you?” Su Mian was still clear about grudges.

“Afan, you can’t treat me this way, after more than twenty years of marital affection, you can’t just abandon me!”

Seeing that Su Fan didn’t want to help her, Ye Miaoshan completely panicked, and immediately pleaded with Qiao Yun, “Auntie was wrong, please forgive me this one time; just don’t let me go to prison, I’ll do anything you want. Don’t you just like it when I kneel for you? I’m kneeling now.”

This time, she abandoned all her dignity, and in front of everyone, she knelt before Qiao Yun.

She was so miserable that even the steadfast Su Fan felt somewhat heartbroken.

However, Qiao Yun just looked on calmly, her voice cold, “I won’t forgive you; you’ve committed premeditated murder, you will be sentenced to prison.”

The moment Ye Miaoshan charged at her, it wasn’t just the Lu Family who wanted to protect Qiao Yun.

She also wanted to protect them.

It was the first time in a long while that Qiao Yun felt afraid–afraid that something would happen to her family right in front of her, and she would be powerless to stop it.

Qiao Yun couldn’t quite sort out these emotions for a moment, but she knew clearly that she could no longer remain an indifferent observer, detached from the situation as when she had first returned.

Before, she attributed her desire to stay in the Lu Family to Lu Zhanxing, but now it seemed a bit different.

Qiao Yun touched her heart with her small hand; her heartbeat wasn’t as fast as before.

She couldn’t help thinking that humans really are creatures of complex emotions.

Qiao Yun’s attitude made Ye Miaoshan feel as if her heart had died; she suddenly clung to Qiao Yun’s legs, begging pitifully, “Just this once, don’t let me go to prison, I will be your slave, consider that I’m your aunt.”

“Ye Miaoshan, let go of Qiaoqiao.” Su Mian didn’t want Ye Miaoshan’s dirty hands touching his precious daughter and immediately started to pull her away.

Ye Miaoshan was pulled away, and collapsed on the ground, crying weakly.

She was scared and filled with terror, unable to imagine her life going forward.

Qiao Yun looked at the police, her voice calmly saying, “She’s too noisy.”

The police hesitated for a moment, then, under Qiao Yun’s intense gaze, reflexively grabbed Ye Miaoshan, and handed her a pair of handcuffs.

“Enough, whatever you have to say, save it for the court.”

“No! I’m innocent, I didn’t mean to kill anyone, you can’t let me go to prison.”

If she really went to prison, she would have no face to live the rest of her life.

Without even thinking, Ye Miaoshan started to struggle, attempting to flee.

Nobody expected Ye Miaoshan to do something as foolish as resisting arrest in public.

Seeing this, several police officers immediately stepped forward to restrain her.

“Now you’ve also added resisting arrest to your charges.”

Ye Miaoshan looked towards the Lu Family, weakly saying, “How can you be so heartless, I begged you like this, why still force me to a dead end!”

Su Mian almost laughed out of exasperation, “We forced you to a dead end? When you drove into us, had it not been for someone’s heroic intervention, my family would now be lying in a hospital.”

Especially the old man, at his age, even a slight bump could have been the end of him.

“Stop talking nonsense and come with me.” The police officer mocked her, “What’s the use of regretting now? You should have thought about this before.”

Ye Miaoshan was limply taken away, continually muttering, “I don’t want to go to jail, I don’t want to go to jail…”

Su Qingqing watched her mother, who looked like a madwoman, and finally couldn’t hold back her tears.

Seeing her like this, Su Qingyan couldn’t muster any comforting words, merely gently patting her head.

After a moment of silence, Su Fan said to Su Mian, “We are going back to Yuncheng in a couple of days.”

“That’s good, it’s almost New Year anyway.” Su Mian knew Su Fan didn’t want to stay in this sorrowful place and didn’t know what else to say to comfort him.

Su Fan now regretted deeply, why did he come to Shangjing City in the first place? Wasn’t it good enough staying in Yuncheng?

Perhaps Ye Miaoshan wouldn’t have gone mad then.

Ye Miaoshan was momentarily detained, and given the threat to the Lu Family’s safety, Qiao Yun was not about to let her escape legal punishment. Though not yet judged, it was certain that Ye Miaoshan was going to jail.

Upon exiting the police station, they found it surrounded by many reporters from the social news, and it was only under the police’s protection that they managed to safely get into a car.

Su Mian had wanted to thank Zhou You for his heroic action but realized that he had disappeared, which made her feel quite regretful. She said to Lu Rui, “Our connection with him is quite significant. I didn’t expect that the person who saved you guys turns out to be the regular courier for our family.”

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed. Now that you mention it, it really is quite a coincidence,” Lu Rui exclaimed.

“Next time we see him, we’ll definitely have to properly thank him.”

“Of course, we’ll send him a banner of gratitude,” agreed Lu Rui.

The old man said, “He truly is a great benefactor of our family.”

Qiao Yun listened to their praises of Zhou You with a calm face.

Zhou’s grandfather had also learned of the incident from the news, and was surprised at first. He also felt fortunate that he hadn’t been truly hit by a car, otherwise, just after his disagreement with Qiao Yun, he would have risked suspicion falling on him if Qiao Yun had had an accident.

Zhou Xinyu explained the grudge between Ye Miaoshan and the Lu Family to Zhou’s grandfather.

After hearing it, Zhou’s grandfather didn’t comment on it, but the action of Ye Miaoshan left him with a thought.

He had guessed wrong previously; Qiao Yun did indeed value her family.

If her family was harmed…

Then could he possibly get a glance at the research he wanted to uncover?

…

Because the incident happened suddenly, it was only when Lu Jingzhi and Lu Zhanxing returned home that their family informed them about what Ye Miaoshan had done.

Lu Zhanxing’s face changed drastically, he pulled Qiao Yun aside to thoroughly check on her, and after confirming that no one else was hurt, he frustratedly said, “I never realized she had the guts to do this. I should not have let her off so easily before.”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Don’t worry, she won’t be coming out.”

Lu Zhanxing thought about it and realized it was true. Ye Miaoshan clearly didn’t understand the status of the person she attempted to kill, which would only elevate her crime.

Lu Jingzhi’s eyes were filled with guilt as he lamented, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”

Qiao Yun looked at him puzzled, not understanding why he was suddenly apologizing.
