Chapter 1182: Shocking News!
Qiao Mu was extremely happy as she lay on the bed. Coupled with the fact that she drank a little wine, she felt as light as a feather. This was the happiest birthday she had in 19 years.
Li Yan pulled Qiao Mu into his embrace, and Qiao Mu obediently leaned against his chest. ” Uncle, thank you. ”
“You should address me.” Li Yan reminded.
“Yes, Hubby, I really love you.” Qiao Mu chuckled.
Li Yan smiled. ” I love you too. ”
Qiao Mu was drowsy, but she could not bear to fall asleep. She chatted with Li Yan and asked him to tell her a story.
...There was no story in Li Yan’s mind at all. After thinking about it, he recalled their past and told her about it.
Qiao Mu could not recall some of the scenes at all. She felt as if she was talking about someone else, and it was so silly.
Then, she fell asleep as she listened.
That night, the two of them did not do anything, but they felt extremely fulfilled.
Li Yan kissed Qiao Mu’s forehead and whispered, “”Goodnight, little thing.”
Being able to accompany her was bliss.
–
The next day, after Qiao Mu woke up, she had breakfast with Li Yan and prepared to go to court.
“You really don’t need me to accompany you?” Li Yan asked worriedly.
Qiao Mu waved her hand in refusal. ” There’s no need. I’m already a year older. I can handle such a small matter. ”
At this moment, Li Yan’s phone rang. He picked up the call and heard what was said on the other end. His expression darkened. Qiao Mu watched as he hung up and asked, “”Did something happen?”
“You don’t have to go to court.” said Li Yan.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this case?”
This was the only possibility Qiao Mu could think of. Ning Tongtong actually reversed the verdict at this critical moment? With Li Yan watching, that was not possible!
Immediately after, Li Yan’s words stunned Qiao Mu.
“Ning Tongtong was in a car accident and has been confirmed dead,” Li Yan said.
Qiao Mu lost her balance and widened her eyes in disbelief. ” Ning Tongtong…” Is he dead?”
How was this possible? A living person suddenly died?
“What happened? When did she get into a car accident?” Qiao Mu pressed on.
” According to the surveillance footage, the car accident happened last night on an unfenced bridge. She drove off the bridge and fell into the artificial lake with her car. Her body was found early this morning. ” Li Yan observed Qiao Mu’s expression as he spoke, worried that he might scare her.
After all, this kind of thing was very normal for him, but it was not so easy for her to accept.
Qiao Mu leaned weakly against Li Yan’s chest and looked at him blankly. ” She fell into the lake and drowned along with the car. Could it be…” Suicide?”
” I’m not sure yet. The police are already investigating. Whether it’s an accident or suicide, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t think too much about it. ” Li Yan patted her head gently and comforted her in a low voice.
Qiao Mu’s face was a little pale. She thought about how Ning Tongtong looked when she was rescued after being submerged in the water for an entire night.
Although she felt that Ning Tongtong was very evil and had schemed against her many times, no matter how many mistakes she had made and how the law had punished her, it was not to the point of taking her life. She was a good person, but she died so easily. She could not accept it at all.
Li Yan did not deny that it was a suicide, which meant that it was possible.
If it was really a suicide, did he choose to do it on the day before the trial because he could not accept the consequences of being sentenced?
