The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 154

In the small garden below, Xiao Yuanning sensed something unusual. His father had suddenly gone on a long journey, and his mother didn't even go to see him off. Now, she was alone on the balcony, looking up at the sky and watching the plane.

Xiao Yuanning was sitting on the swing, and the Felinae Cat, Shu Fen, lying on her lap, was purring comfortably with its eyes half-closed under his stroking.

"Shu Fen, should we invite Sister Meng Meng over tomorrow?"

"Mom seems upset. As a man, it's my job to cheer her up. Sister Meng Meng is so cute, if she spends time with mom, mom will definitely feel better!"

"Shu Fen, don't you think I'm right?"

Shu Fen, disturbed by his babble, slightly opened her eyes, yawned, and didn't bother to respond.

"Shu Fen, answer me!"

Seeing Shu Fen ignoring him, Xiao Yuanning couldn't help but stroke her fur in the wrong direction, which annoyed Shu Fen. She opened her eyes wide, looked at him, and let out a threatening "meow".

Xiao Yuanning was thrilled, stopped his annoying behavior and said, "I knew you would agree my idea is brilliant! I'm gonna tell mom right now!"

Xiao Yuanning picked up Shu Fen, got off the swing, then put Shu Fen back on the swing, and ran into the house alone.

Shu Fen lay on the swing, disdainfully watching the human who was moving away, "Doesn't this guy seem too bright?"

Song Jiaxi, who had come down from upstairs at this time, saw her son rushing in and thought something had happened.

"What's the matter, Ning darling? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yuanning chuckled, hugged Song Jiaxi's arm and whined, "Mom, can we invite Sister Meng Meng over to play tomorrow?"

Song Jiaxi: "That's it?"

Xiao Yuanning nodded eagerly.

"You child, I thought something serious had happened. Of course, haven't I told you that our home is always open to that girl whenever she wants to come?"

Xiao Yuanning was overjoyed, "Great, I'll text Sister Meng Meng right now!"

After five hours, Xiao Yongze finally arrived at the airport in Linyun City, and it was already midnight.

The person who came to pick him up was Liu Assistant, who was in charge of the investigation.

As Xiao Yongze got into the car, Liu Assistant asked, "BOSS, do you want to go see her in the hospital now?"

"Yes, right now."

Xiao Yongze's voice had no emotional fluctuations, but Liu Assistant inexplicably felt a wave of chill from behind.

Without a moment's hesitation, he started the car and headed to the People's Hospital.

Soon, the car was parked in the hospital parking lot.

Liu Assistant led Xiao Yongze straight to the door of the ward.

"BOSS!" There were several bodyguards at the door. Seeing Xiao Yongze, they immediately bowed their heads and made way.

Xiao Yongze looked through the glass window of the ward door at the person lying inside. His fists involuntarily clenched, and the veins on his forehead tightened.

Even though the person in the ward now had only a few strands of disheveled white hair left, and her face was crisscrossed with wrinkles, Xiao Yongze recognized her at a glance.

The woman who had murdered his daughter with her own hands!

Xiao Yongze took a deep breath, suppressing the anger within him before he pushed open the hospital room door to enter.

The nanny, tormented by her illness, was not in a deep sleep. Hearing someone enter, her eyelids quivered slightly, reluctant to open. She assumed it was just another troublemaker in black who had come to bother her.

"Stop pretending, I know you're awake."

Xiao Yongze's cold voice broke the silence in the room. The unfamiliar voice made the nanny tremble involuntarily, and she slowly opened her eyes.

In her groggy state, she saw a man who was both familiar and unfamiliar. She blinked vigorously, finally making out the man standing in front of her hospital bed.

He looked the same as he did more than ten years ago, but with an added maturity and ruthlessness.

A secret that had been buried deep in her mind for many years was suddenly awakened. The nanny couldn't help but raise a shaky hand, pointing at him with a voice that was old and hoarse, "You... you are..."

Xiao Yongze smirked, "Heh, it seems you remember me!"

"You... you're Xiao Yongze... you, you..."

The nanny trembled, seemingly unable to believe that Xiao Yongze was still alive. She had thought he died more than ten years ago...

"What, are you so excited to see me that you're scared?"

"I, I... I know nothing!"

Xiao Yongze's face cooled. "Tsk, tsk, I haven't asked you anything yet. How do you know you know nothing?"

A chill ran down the nanny's spine. She wanted to say something, but a fit of coughing interrupted her.

Liu Assistant signaled to the bodyguard, who promptly sprayed something into the nanny's mouth.

Whatever it was, it stopped the nanny's coughing immediately.

"I know nothing, everything was forced upon me by Xiao Wenyao, I'm just a nanny..."

Xiao Yongze scoffed, "Forced? As I recall, a sum of 800,000 was used to force you."

He then played an audio file on his phone. A familiar voice came through, "Young Master Wenyao, you asked me to kill this child. I did and buried him too. Can you give me the money now?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the nanny couldn't help but shake, "You, you, this, this can't be!"

Why would Xiao Yongze have this video!

Of course, Xiao Yongze wouldn't have it. The phone that received the video years ago was long lost. This audio was produced based on his memory, almost identical to the original, just waiting for this day.

"Heh, why is it impossible? You've been hiding here all this time, so you may not know that Xiao Wenyao has been arrested by the police. In order to lighten his punishment, he pushed all the events from over a decade ago onto you.

The police are now searching for you worldwide. Once they catch you, not only will you die, but your granddaughter will also be implicated. You don't want your granddaughter to live in darkness like you, do you?"

He remembered how the nanny used to talk about her granddaughter, who was the same age as Xi Xi, when she was taking care of Xi Xi's postpartum period. The nanny's face was always filled with happiness then.

Granddaughter, granddaughter!

Thinking of her granddaughter, Nanny's tears flowed freely. She hadn't seen her granddaughter for many years...

When she received that sum of eight hundred thousand yuan, Xiao Wenyao told her that if she didn't want to implicate the family, it would be best to take the money and go as far as possible.

So, although she returned to Linyun City, she didn't go back to the village. Instead, with the bank card holding the money, she hid in a remote forest.

She was afraid of being caught by the police, she didn't dare to return to the village, didn't dare to contact her son and daughter-in-law, and didn't dare to spend the money on the card. She spent these ten plus years scraping by on the tens of thousands of cash she had, eating the simplest of meals.

If it hadn't been for her sudden fainting a couple of days ago, and her fear of dying suddenly after waking up, she wouldn't have taken the card to the hospital...

She didn't expect to be found by someone so quickly.

Seeing the old woman unable to stop crying, Xiao Yongze timely said, "I didn't come to seek revenge. Just tell me where you buried my daughter's body, and I will testify for you in court, so that Xiao Wenyao's plan will not succeed."

These words were just to deceive her. For the mistakes she made, she had to bear the corresponding responsibility.

Nanny, her eyes relaxed, seemed to understand something and nodded.

"Alright, I'll tell you. I buried her in a cemetery on the western outskirts of Hai City, in front of a tombstone named Zhao Si..."

After Xiao Yongze achieved his goal, he walked towards the exit of the ward. Just as he was about to reach the door, the old woman's voice from inside was hoarse, "Young Master Yongze, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Yongze stopped in his tracks. The tears in his eyes twinkled, but he didn't turn back. He strode out of the room.

If apologies were effective, what need would there be for the law.
