Chapter 163: Cheng Mingzhu and Qin Yun Shu Have a Falling Out
Cheng Wan went to the Police Station to see Cheng Mingzhu.
Cheng Mingzhu stuck to the same story: she just wanted to play with the child, it wasn't a kidnapping.
But Cheng Wan had recorded the call when she answered the kidnapper's phone, and technical analysis confirmed it was Cheng Mingzhu's voice.
"Cheng Mingzhu, no one can help you this time."
Cheng Wan looked at her with cold eyes, "Adding in the previous matters, three to five years is no problem."
Cheng Mingzhu's arrogant expression vanished, her face gradually turning pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I want to see Cheng Han."
Cheng Han would not ignore her.
He was her brother, after all.
Cheng Wan went out and swapped with Cheng Han, who came in.
Kidnapping was a huge deal; Cheng Han had known about it for a long time.
Seeing him, Cheng Mingzhu suddenly felt she had a backbone, and the fear in her heart turned into tears that slid down.
"Brother, you have to save me and get me out."
She could not go to prison.
Cheng Han looked at her quietly, "The evidence is ironclad; how do you want me to save you?"
Cheng Mingzhu squeezed her fingers tight, "I... I..."
She was still hesitating.
She did not want to go to prison, but she also did not want to betray her good friend.
Cheng Han saw it; he was quite speechless regarding his younger sister.
Even at a time like this, she was still thinking about someone else.
"If you reveal who the mastermind is, you won't have to go to prison." Cheng Han spoke bluntly to prompt his sister, "Going to prison will ruin your whole life; you had better think it through."
"I..." Cheng Mingzhu lowered her head, a battle raging in her mind.
Cheng Han was angered.
"Was it Qin Yun Shu who told you to do it?" He asked directly.
Cheng Mingzhu twisted her fingers; she dared not admit it because she knew her brother disliked Qin Yun Shu.
Perhaps he would divorce her because of this incident.
Seeing that she still refused to speak, Cheng Han said slowly, "Do you believe that if she knew you were caught, she would definitely push everything onto you?"
"Impossible." Cheng Mingzhu did not believe it.
She and Qin Yun Shu had been good friends for many years.
"Come with me, and you'll know."
Hospital.
Cheng Wan walked quickly into the ward and, without holding back, gave Qin Yun Shu a fierce slap.
"Qin Yun Shu, you actually dared to lay a hand on Ping'an."
Qin Yun Shu covered her face, but a flash of triumph crossed her eyes; it seemed Cheng Mingzhu had succeeded.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Cheng Mingzhu has already told everything, otherwise how do you think I could have found you?" Cheng Wan's face was icy, "Qin Yun Shu, this time, I will absolutely not let you off."
Qin Yun Shu lowered her hand; Cheng Mingzhu had been caught so quickly?
They had even specifically chosen a time when Chu Li was away on a business trip.
Such a waste.
"What does Cheng Mingzhu kidnapping Qin Ping'an have to do with me?" She acted quite aggrieved.
Cheng Wan sneered, "Did I ever say Ping'an was kidnapped?"
Qin Yun Shu's expression changed.
However, she maintained her composure, "The police came here to investigate; what does that have to do with me? You should go find Cheng Mingzhu, not me."
"Qin Yun Shu, are you trying to make Cheng Mingzhu take the fall for you?" Cheng Wan truly had her perception of Qin Yun Shu refreshed once again.
If one were to say the kidnapping of Ping'an had nothing to do with Qin Yun Shu, Cheng Wan would not believe it.
But Qin Yun Shu was actually going to push all the responsibility onto Cheng Mingzhu.
She had no bottom line as a human being.
"I said, I don't know about this matter." Qin Yun Shu continued to be stubborn.
"If she goes to prison, it starts at three years."
Qin Yun Shu gritted her teeth, "I said I don't know."
The ward door was pushed open with a bang, and Cheng Mingzhu rushed in; she threw herself onto Qin Yun Shu and beat her fiercely.
"Qin Yun Shu, it was clearly you who told me to do it." She was very angry.
And also very regretful.
"It was you who said you couldn't come up with three hundred million, and told me to kidnap Qin Ping'an to blackmail Cheng Wan." Cheng Mingzhu had nothing left to hide and said it all.
"You even said if something went wrong, you would take the responsibility yourself; you lied to me."
Qin Yun Shu screamed, "Mingzhu, it was you who said you couldn't stand Cheng Wan appearing by Chu Li's side again, which is why you decided to kidnap Qin Ping'an. I even tried to persuade you; you can't just throw the blame on me the moment something goes wrong."
"You..." Cheng Mingzhu was so angry she could practically vomit blood.
If it weren't to help Qin Yun Shu, she would never have touched Qin Ping'an at all.
Yet Qin Yun Shu was now turning the tables.
And she was doing it with logic and evidence.
Things having reached this point, Qin Yun Shu could only bite the bullet and refuse to admit to the matter.
"Mingzhu, do you have evidence?"
"Qin Yun Shu, it was I, Cheng Mingzhu, who was blind." Cheng Mingzhu was pulled away by Cheng Han, glaring fiercely at Qin Yun Shu, "We are finished."
She stormed off in a rage.
Qin Yun Shu clutched her chest, putting on a look of great fear.
Cheng Wan gave her a cold look and turned to leave.
Whether it was a frame-up by Cheng Mingzhu, the police would investigate and clarify.
And for now, it was enough that Cheng Mingzhu told the truth.
Cheng Mingzhu had been hit hard by this incident and was in low spirits.
The eldest Miss Cheng could not swallow this grievance.
It was just a pity that she could not get out now.
She clenched her fingers and looked at Cheng Wan, "Cheng Wan, now that you know, I was instigated by her; tell the police to release me."
She was very naive.
Cheng Wan did not like Qin Yun Shu, but she did not like Cheng Mingzhu either.
"Right and wrong, the police will find out; if there is no evidence, you will go to jail for her."
She did not soften her heart at all.
The suffering that Lin Qingya had endured, she would also get it back for her.
Cheng Mingzhu was incredulous, "You know full well it wasn't me."
"Who told you to be stupid? You did whatever she wanted you to do."
Daring to kidnap even a child—it serves you right.
Cheng Wan did not want to drag things out here; she wanted to go back to be with Ping'an.
Cheng Mingzhu panicked a little and looked at Cheng Han, "Brother."
Cheng Han stroked her hair and said nothing.
Cheng Mingzhu gritted her teeth, "Brother, you cannot ignore me; if Dad finds out, he will definitely be unhappy."
She feared that Cheng Han would follow Cheng Wan's wishes and let her stay, so she could only bring up their father.
A sharp glint flashed through Cheng Han's eyes, vanishing in an instant.
"When Uncle told you to stay away from Qin Yun Shu back then, didn't you also not listen?"
"I..." Cheng Mingzhu could not speak.
Cheng Wan returned to Beicheng Villa.
She saw Wen Lvzhong.
Qin Ping'an was leaning in his father's arms, draped in his coat, already asleep.
He had been frightened today, and his face was still pale.
Cheng Wan walked over on tiptoe, "I'm sorry, I let him be frightened."
She had promised to take good care of Qin Ping'an.
Wen Lvzhong pulled the coat up, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Those people had planned to target the child, and it was impossible to guard against.
Qin Ping'an was awakened by the noise; he poked his head out from Wen Lvzhong's coat and threw himself into Cheng Wan's arms: "Mommy."
Cheng Wan held him, hugging him tightly, "Mommy is here."
Chu Li stood not far away, watching this scene, feeling a faint ache in his heart.
Every time they were together, they looked exactly like a family of three.
He felt jealous and sad.
"Lawyer Wen," he greeted.
Wen Lvzhong had already stood up, "Thank you for helping find Ping'an."
Chu Li composed his emotions and nodded indifferently, "Stay for dinner."
He instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Just as Wen Lvzhong was about to speak, Qin Ping'an spoke in a soft, thin voice.
"Mommy, I want to go home."
