Chapter 59

She had been thinking about being able to hit An MeiYun hard and make her completely fall into an abyss, so she endured without taking action.

After all, An MeiYun had been reborn for two years and must have made a lot of plans, while she had just returned. If she was careless, it might startle the snake in the grass.

With her watching, at least the An family would not be harmed for the time being. Giving An MeiYun more time would allow her to become more deeply tied to Lin Hao. Then, when Lin Hao's collusion with the enemy came to light, neither of them could escape.

But she had miscalculated.

An MeiYun had returned with hatred, she was a ticking time bomb from the start.

She had not died according to An MeiYun's plan in this life, and everything was changing. An MeiYun might not be able to wait until the same period in her previous life to make a move against the An family, shifting the crimes that should have belonged to the Lin family onto the An family.

Moreover, during this process, every confrontation could possibly push An MeiYun to act against the An family.

Even if it was not a blow that completely ruined the An family like in her previous life, minor clashes were unavoidable. Among them, little An Wenqing, who was still a child, was most likely to be easily hurt.

Returning to the room, it looked exactly the same as when she had left over the past few days.

It was evident that the fourth brother had not been back to sleep either.

Knowing that An MeiYun had acted against the An family two years later, after she had married Lin Hao for over a year and the affection between them had grown, Xia still recalled the scene from her previous life.

At that time, rumors circulated in Jin City that there was an enemy spy passing on information, and this spy was related to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao's father, Lin Zheng, had been a bandit on Heilong Mountain before the founding of the country. After the country was established, there was a major crackdown on bandits. Lin Zheng had the foresight to hide in Jin City with several brothers. Then they picked up their old profession as cooks before becoming bandits and worked in state-run restaurants.

Who would have thought that a cook had once been a bandit!

A year ago, Lin Hao met Huang Cui and they had a one-night stand, after which Huang Cui gave birth to his son. From then on, there was a bond between the two. In fact, the one-night stand was deliberately planned by Huang Cui. After all, Lin Hao worked in government agencies and, although his position was not very high, he still had access to a lot of information. Lin Hao slowly fell into Huang Cui's trap, taking step after step guided by her to pass on information to her, from unintentionally at first, to being unable to extricate himself when he finally realized what was happening, and could only sink deeper and deeper.

Plus there was a child between them that he had to consider more.

It was after their marriage that An MeiYun accidentally overheard a conversation between Lin Hao and Huang Cui. She had almost been silenced on the spot. In desperation she came up with the idea to help Lin Hao clear any suspicion by shifting the blame onto the An family.

Huang Cui had a sister who worked at An ZhiXian's hospital, and there had been some contact between the two sisters over the years. An MeiYun took advantage of this and hid a damaged telegraph machine in the An family's study before reporting them.

It had to be said, this move of hers was very clever, shifting all of Lin Hao's guilt onto An ZhiXian, and getting rid of Huang Cui in the process.

When An ZhiXian and An JingZhi were arrested, they still did not know what was going on. An Zhiqing's status was special, so he was also labeled as suspicious.

The policy at that time was better to wrongly kill a thousand than let one slip by. Moreover, to get Lin Hao to take good care of the child, Huang Cui and her sister had colluded early on to bite An ZhiXian to death in exchange, providing the testimony and evidence.

Unfortunately, Huang Cui did not know An MeiYun would never allow her child to live, nor would she allow the intelligence to be delivered as Huang Cui wished.

It was not that An MeiYun was exceptionally righteous, she simply knew too much about what would happen in the future, and preferred to stay here using her foreknowledge to change the present situation, rather than take an unknown path in a place she did not understand well.

In the end, all three of the An family men were executed, An's elderly parents died of anger, and the rest were exiled.

At that time, in order to protect Liu Ling and the child, An Zhiqing had voluntarily proposed divorce earlier, but still could not escape the scheme that destroyed the family.

At that time, An ZhiAng had not gone to join the army but was sent down to the countryside under An MeiYun's scheme. When he hurried back after hearing the news, he still did not know all this was An MeiYun's doing.

At that time, he could only trust An MeiYun, but also fell into her trap and was labelled as a hooligan.

Exhausted from work, An Zhiren died from illness, and An MeiYun went to see Zhou Nan before she died, telling her the truth and angering her to death. Only An ZhiAng endured for many years before returning to uncover the truth, but by then he did not have the power to fight against An MeiYun who had become rich and influential.

Lin Hao was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary in this matter. Although his son died, he preserved himself and got rid of the threat from Huang Cui.

Many years later, he resigned from his job, and at An MeiYun's urging went into business and became a famous tycoon in Jin City. He and An MeiYun loved each other for life and enjoyed a happy marriage.

In fact, before marrying Lin Hao, An MeiYun did not know he was connected to the enemy, otherwise she would not have given up Pei JianGuo who also had feelings for her.

It was also because in the previous life, Lin Hao was equally high-ranking and had a beautiful family life. But unexpectedly, that was just a facade, and before gaining those trappings, not only was his background complicated, but he was also imprisoned.

And now, this was a full two years earlier. Huang Cui had just given birth to a son and was still entangled with Lin Hao. But in order to stay in the city and marry Lin Hao, An MeiYun had gotten married ahead of time.

Xia did not even know if Lin Hao had been seduced by Huang Cui to defect at this point, which was why she had not dared to make a move.

As for her approaching Lin Zheng, she was actually just trying to find an opportunity to go to the Lin family. She even knew precisely where Lin Hao hid things, and where Lin Zheng had hidden the money he had plundered during his years as a bandit. But that was two years later, not now.

As for Lin Zheng, he was very shrewd. The places where he hid his wealth were not in the Lin family home, so even if they were found, he could completely deny it.

Therefore, before making a move, she first had to determine whether Lin Hao was currently being used by Huang Cui.

Apart from this matter, everything else was just small disturbances that would have no real effect.

But now Xia had changed her mind. She should act as soon as possible and not give An MeiYun another chance to return, otherwise who knew if anyone else would get caught up in An MeiYun's schemes in the process, just like innocent little Wenqing today.

Going to the hospital was definitely not as simple as a small cut. She didn't know the extent of his injuries and couldn't help but worry.

Opening the trading device, Xia looked for the aquaculture magnate and luckily he was online.

Ms. Era: "Do you have an electric bike?"

Aquaculture Magnate: "If you need it, I'll go buy one for you tomorrow."

Ms. Era: "It's too late, I need it now."

The aquaculture magnate instantly realized something must have happened on her end and said, "I only have old electric bikes from workers here. If you need it, I'll lend it to you first. Has something happened over there? Let me know if you need anything, or I can prepare it for you overnight."

He himself usually drove a sports car. He did have several motorcycles, but they were too noisy to run, and he didn't think the young miss would be able to use them.

After two minutes, a half-new electric bike was sent over.

Knowing Xia clicked to receive it.

Ms. Era: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need anything else for now. When I do, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Do as you please, I have to go now."

Knowing that her foot injury was not serious, Xia stuffed a pillow into the quilt to fake it. Then she quietly opened the door.

The light in An Zhiren's room was still on, and she could vaguely hear people talking, probably An ZhiAng discussing things with him.

The light was also on in An MeiYun's room, and sobbing could be heard from time to time, though she didn't know how much of it was genuine.

Knowing Xia guessed that Zhou Nan was probably also in her room.

Luckily no one was in the living room. Knowing Xia hurried out the door.
