The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 558 - Chapter 558 Chapter 558 Indescribable

Chapter 558: Chapter 558 Indescribable Chapter 558: Chapter 558 Indescribable Because of the precedent set by Lu Chenran, no one at the scene dared to plead for Zhong Mengxuan anymore, fearing they would also be the target of anger.

Even as parents, Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu didn’t dare to say anything.

Lu Chenran had just attempted to intercede, but Lu Yichen didn’t take it seriously at all and even managed to utter those words. If his own nephew was treated like this, how much more were they, mere outsiders!

After reporting to the police, everyone was waiting in the lounge for their arrival.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were not good.

Everyone had been busy all day with the engagement party. Now that the banquet was over, but due to this incident, they were unable to rest. Thus, not many had good expressions on their faces.

However, since the elders of both the Lu Family and the Zhong Family had not left, the younger relatives naturally didn’t dare to suggest leaving first.

Zhong Mengxuan, on the other hand, had already slumped to the ground, her eyes lifeless, looking as though she was on the verge of collapse.

Zhong Niangyao nestled in Lu Yichen’s arms, looking at Zhong Mengxuan, suddenly spoke up, “What exactly was on that blade you used to cut me?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze immediately fell on Zhong Mengxuan.

However, they didn’t understand what Zhong Niangyao meant.

Zhong Mengxuan raised her head to look at Zhong Niangyao, with madness and triumph in her eyes, “Zhong Niangyao, you really want to know, don’t you?”

“I just won’t tell you. You’re sending me to jail anyway; why would I tell you anything? Unless you’re willing to let me go this time, then perhaps I might tell you.”

“Also, someone else gave this to me. As long as you let me go this time, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

This was her last chance, and she absolutely couldn’t let it slip away. Otherwise, she would really be going to jail.

Zhong Niangyao looked up, gazing at Zhong Mengxuan, initially emotionless, but she eventually broke into a radiant smile, “Well, that sounds like a deal!”

Zhong Mengxuan’s hopeful gaze was met with an ever-larger smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face, but the words that followed were particularly infuriating, “However, I don’t like this deal! If you don’t want to say, then you don’t have to continue. As for the person behind you, I believe I have ways to find out. And–”

“Do you really think you have the chance to reveal who is behind you?”

From the beginning, she had only wanted to know what was on that blade and had no intention of asking who had given it to Zhong Mengxuan. She had a feeling that there was no point in asking.

She faintly suspected that the person behind Zhong Mengxuan this time and the one behind Shen Yixue previously might be the same individual.

If that were the case, then nothing would be forthcoming from questioning her. Thus, she didn’t waste her breath. She only wanted to know what was on the blade, not who provided it.

Zhong Mengxuan’s reaction was completely unexpected, and she became anxious, “Zhong Niangyao, do you really not want to know? Someone has been plotting against you from the shadows; can you really be at ease?”

“I don’t want anything now, just let me go this once, and I will tell you who gave this to me. I’m telling the truth; there won’t be any deceit.”

“No need.”

Zhong Niangyao shook her head in response to Zhong Mengxuan’s expectant gaze, “That rat lurking in the gutter, I will personally drag her out into the open. As for you, it’s time you pay for your actions.”

“No, Zhong Niangyao, if I don’t say it, you definitely won’t be able to figure out who it is,” Zhong Mengxuan hurriedly said, “You won’t find that person for the rest of your life. I can leave the Zhong Family, stay far away from you, even never appear before you again, just let me go this once! I don’t want to go to prison.”

“Fine, then answer me one question first,” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan and said, “What exactly was on that blade?”

At this, Zhong Mengxuan was instantly rendered speechless, unable to respond because she herself didn’t know what it was.

“Mengxuan, you better speak up!” Li Yiqiu, who was watching, became anxious, “Don’t tell me you really want to go to jail?”

“But… but…” I don’t know!

Zhong Mengxuan was very helpless.

“You don’t know, do you?” Zhong Niangyao cut to the chase, “So, the person behind you, you can’t reveal. That person clearly planned everything when they approached you.”

“Impossible.” Zhong Mengxuan refused to believe it, “It’s–ah!”

Zhong Mengxuan clutched her throat, feeling a burning sensation like fire. She then realized that whenever she decided not to mention that name, the burning sensation disappeared.

Then, she was horrified to discover a fact–whenever she tried to reveal who that person was through various means, her body would react adversely.

This revelation left her utterly frightened.

To the onlookers, Zhong Mengxuan was just gesticulating wildly but never actually revealed the so-called person behind her. They didn’t know if it was because there was no such person, or because she truly couldn’t express it.

“You can’t say it, can you?” Zhong Niangyao’s indifferent voice sounded, “Since that person dared to approach you so boldly, they were clearly unafraid you would expose them. Because they were very sure, you wouldn’t be able to reveal their identity. So, give up!”

With these words, Zhong Mengxuan suddenly felt all her strength drain away, collapsing to the ground, her heart ashen.

At that moment, she realized even her last bargaining chips were gone. Was she really facing a prison sentence?

No, she couldn’t accept it, she wouldn’t accept it.

Regardless of how resentful and indignant she felt inside, when the police arrived, they still took Zhong Mengxuan away.

Attempted murder was a serious crime, and Zhong Mengxuan was taken into custody for the time being.

Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu followed as well. Disappointed in their daughter, they could not simply abandon her. After all, this was the daughter they had doted on for many years, they couldn’t just ignore her plight.

After Zhong Mengxuan was taken away, everyone else gradually dispersed and went back to their homes. However, the repercussions of tonight’s events would continue to unfold.
