Faced with Wei Yumeng's threat, Bai Jinglian's brow didn't even furrow. He knew this day would come as soon as he helped Jiang Siyu take Wei Yumeng away with the intention of performing a caesarean section to extract the child.
He had expected this action to be a sure success, but never imagined he would fall here. However, for him, it was merely a matter of sooner or later. Therefore, he was not afraid of any consequences Wei Yumeng mentioned, nor would he utter a single word against Jiang Siyu.
"I told you, I don't know any Jiang Siyu."
His answer clearly stated his stance. Although Wei Yumeng was disappointed, she didn't press further.
She knew well that someone so pathologically devoted could not be swayed by a few words.
To make Jiang Siyu pay, she would have to find another way. However, Wei Yumeng did not want to wait for Jiang Siyu to make another move against her and the child. The risk was too great for her to bear.
Just as she was about to call Zhan Mohan to inform him about the hospital situation, Mu Linjing and Zhan Yichen rushed in. Seeing so many bodyguards in black in the ward, Mu Linjing almost thought they were all there to harm Wei Yumeng. If Zhan Yichen hadn't held her back, she would have thrown herself in front of Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng, amused and exasperated, explained the arrangements made by her and Zhan Mohan to the two of them. "This is our fault too. We decided on the spur of the moment and didn't inform you, causing you to make a trip for nothing."
Mu Linjing breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you're alright, that's good. Did this person confess?"
She pointed at Bai Jing with disdain. Perhaps Wei Yumeng might pity Bai Jing to some extent, but in Mu Linjing's eyes, this kind of man was a prime example of giving everything and ending up with nothing.
"As everyone knows, Jiang Siyu's obsession is only for President Zhan. You've done so many bad things for her, has she ever thanked you? In the end, she expects you to go to jail for her. Do you really think she'll pity you, or be grateful to you, and remember you forever?"
Killing with a single blow was enough, but Mu Linjing insisted on striking at the heart. Her words hit Bai Jing's pain point. To Jiang Siyu, Bai Jing was nothing more than a tool, someone who only gave and expected nothing in return. It was no wonder Jiang Siyu never gave him any consideration or thought about his feelings.
Even so, Bai Jing had no intention of betraying Jiang Siyu at this moment. "I love her. It's a separate matter whether she loves me or not."
Mu Linjing couldn't help but sneer. "Is that so? I'm truly curious about what kind of role you play in her heart."
Bai Jing's expression became distant. Yes, he never knew what he meant to Jiang Siyu. If, as Mu Linjing suggested, her taking the blame for her would make her remember him for a lifetime, he would do so willingly.
Seeing him lost in thought, Mu Linjing said no more. Her objective had been achieved. After all, given the current situation, it would take time to completely bring down Jiang Siyu, which was enough time for him to indulge in endless fantasies.
Getting Bai Jing to testify against Jiang Siyu would be a heavy blow. And based on her understanding of Jiang Siyu, she would definitely believe that Bai Jing would never betray her.
Since Bai Jing no longer answered any of their questions, Wei Yumeng called Zhan Mohan. Zhan Mohan had already prepared the relevant materials and arranged for people from Xingguan to come to the company for an interview and to release the news. He was temporarily unable to leave.
Therefore, he instructed them to retrieve the footage from the camera, send Bai Jing directly to the relevant departments, and that further matters would not be their concern.
Wei Yumeng took out the hidden camera she had placed among the flowers on the bedside table and handed it to Zhan Yichen. "I'll trouble you to handle this."
Zhan Yichen left the hospital with the items and Bai Jing, leaving Mu Linjing to accompany Wei Yumeng.
Recalling the day's events, Mu Linjing began to feel a sense of fear. "Fortunately, you anticipated this. If you hadn't made arrangements, that woman would have succeeded. Yumeng, you need to be more careful in the future."
Wei Yumeng naturally agreed with her. "I'm afraid Jiang Siyu will become more desperate and insane after failing several times."
However, this was not entirely a bad thing. Jiang Siyu's eagerness to get rid of the child in her womb was a sign that she was cornered, indicating her psychological state was not good.
This woman was cunning, but when her psychological state was unstable, she was bound to make mistakes. Wei Yumeng was waiting for that day.
Those who do evil will eventually destroy themselves. She didn't believe Jiang Siyu could always avoid being caught.
Mu Linjing helped Wei Yumeng sit down and comforted her. "Elder Zhan already knows that night's events were orchestrated by her. She has tried to harm you repeatedly. President Zhan won't let her go, nor will Elder Zhan. Rest assured, we'll just wait for her downfall."
Wei Yumeng was not yet aware that they had taken the recording to the Zhan family. Although she didn't say it out loud, she still cared about Elder Zhan's attitude towards her.
Zhan Mohan's success was partly due to Elder Zhan's cultivation. For Zhan Mohan, Elder Zhan's blessing on the two of them should have been very important.
She hadn't thought about it before, but because Elder Zhan's attitude towards her had always been the same, she didn't dare to hope for any change. However, now that Elder Zhan's attitude had softened and he had made a clear concession, the wish that had always been a distant dream and suppressed in her heart resurfaced.
"Elder Zhan, does he still treat me the same way when he mentions me?"
Although a little embarrassed, she still asked the question.
Mu Linjing thought for a moment. "I feel Elder Zhan's attitude has improved a lot. Perhaps President Zhan's persistence has also touched him."
Although Elder Zhan did not mention Wei Yumeng proactively that day at the Zhan family's residence, all signs indicated that his stance was no longer as rigid.
Both of them knew that Zhan Mohan's persistence played a significant role. Otherwise, Wei Yumeng alone would have been of little consequence.
Thinking of this, Wei Yumeng felt not only relief but also a trace of guilt. She had deeply misunderstood Zhan Mohan before, but as it turned out, even during that period, Zhan Mohan's attitude had never wavered.
"Linjing, I don't think I will ever doubt him again."
Mu Linjing couldn't help but chuckle. "Trust is the foundation of a marriage. The more you trust him, the less opportunity there will be for others to exploit."
Listening to her words, Wei Yumeng realized that she seemed quite experienced in these matters. She wondered if this was a blessing or a curse for Zhan Yichen.
Just as she was about to probe her views on Zhan Yichen, a knock on the ward door interrupted her.
