Zhan Mohan's face was grim. At this moment, he looked like a Shura emerging from hell, emanating a chilling aura.
He called Fang Xun over. Fang Xun looked at the two of them, utterly bewildered. What had happened to the Madam?
Zhan Mohan wished he could roar, "Go and find out immediately who called her just now."
Fang Xun subconsciously glanced at the agitated Wei Yumeng and could vaguely guess the reason.
He said to Wei Yumeng, "Madam, could I trouble you to lend me your phone?"
Wei Yumeng was unwilling. Her emotions were quite agitated at the moment. She gritted her teeth and yelled at them both.
"Tell me now, how is my mother? Is what that person said on the phone true?"
She screamed hysterically, her shoulders trembling, barely able to stand steadily.
Zhan Mohan knew he could no longer conceal the truth. His silence was tantamount to an admission for Wei Yumeng.
Her tears began to fall like broken strings of pearls.
"She was fine before! Why is she suddenly so unwell? Zhan Mohan, how could you not tell me about something so big!"
As she spoke, she seemed to recall something else. Her entire being seemed to understand instantly, her eyes filled with disappointment and hatred.
"You killed my mother! Zhan Mohan, why did you kill her!"
Saying this, she lunged at Zhan Mohan as if she had gone mad, fiercely grabbing his collar.
Zhan Mohan looked down at her, seeing her grief-stricken and emotionally broken state, his brows furrowed tightly.
"I did not kill your mother. Someone said something to her that agitated her, triggering multiple complications. The doctors couldn't save her."
"No, I don't believe you! Where is my mother? Where is she now? Take me to her!"
Wei Yumeng seemed to have lost her mind, her brows knitted tightly, her face contorted in pain and anguish.
Zhan Mohan clasped Wei Yumeng's shoulders. "Yumeng, calm down. Listen to me... your mother has already been buried."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yumeng found it even more unbearable. She tilted her head back, her lips trembling.
"You... What did you say? Zhan Mohan, what did you just say? My mother... my mother has been buried? Without my permission, how dare you do this? I didn't even get to see her one last time! What are your intentions!"
She suddenly clenched her fists and began hitting his chest repeatedly. Zhan Mohan made no move to dodge, letting her vent all her anger upon him.
Fang Xun, standing beside them, stepped forward to help Zhan Mohan explain. "Madam, you've truly wronged Mr. Zhan this time. He didn't kill Madam. Someone deliberately caused Madam's death and framed Mr. Zhan. The hospital staff can testify to this."
Zhan Mohan tried to calm Wei Yumeng down. "What you need to do now is give me your phone. It's very likely that the person who caused your mother's death is behind this."
Although Wei Yumeng couldn't calm down yet, and perhaps shouldn't trust anyone, she was determined to uncover the truth of this matter.
For now, she had to calm down. She handed her phone to Fang Xun. Fang Xun glanced at the caller ID.
"Madam, I'll borrow your phone for a moment."
Wei Yumeng didn't refuse. After Fang Xun left, Zhan Mohan walked up to Wei Yumeng and said earnestly.
"You have to believe me. I didn't do anything to your mother. Besides, what reason would I have to kill her?"
To him, it was utterly meaningless.
Wei Yumeng looked up. Her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't quiet her thoughts.
She shook her head in pain. "I don't know, I really don't know... I don't know what to do. Let me calm down."
At this moment, Fang Xun pushed the door open and entered. He looked slightly awkward upon seeing them.
"Mr. Zhan..."
Zhan Mohan's gentle expression vanished, replaced by a stern and icy demeanor.
"Did you find anything?"
Fang Xun shook his head. "I couldn't trace it. The other party clearly hid their real number. I couldn't even find the IP address, meaning this call could have come from anywhere."
This news was largely within his expectations. If the other party had a deliberate motive or a hidden agenda, they certainly wouldn't reveal their identity.
It was understandable that only the foolish Wei Yumeng, overcome with emotion, lost her reason and believed what she was told.
However, being wrongly accused was something no one would feel good about.
"Then there's nothing we can do. How's the investigation at the hospital going?"
This call was clearly intended to tell Wei Yumeng that Zhan Mohan was responsible for her mother's death.
The intention was malicious, aiming to sow discord between him and Wei Yumeng.
Fang Xun shook his head helplessly. "It's not easy to investigate. Something feels off."
Zhan Mohan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Go and investigate Wei Jin's recent whereabouts. See if she went anywhere."
Fang Xun knew that Mr. Zhan had suspected Wei Jin before, but there had never been any evidence.
He nodded. "Understood."
Upon hearing Wei Jin's name, Wei Yumeng was instantly shocked. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she looked at Zhan Mohan in disbelief.
"You mean... it's possible Wei Jin did it?"
"We can't rule it out. After all, Wei Jin is someone who likes to seek revenge. I believe you know this better than anyone."
"Understood." Fang Xun immediately resumed his investigation.
Wei Yumeng's emotions gradually stabilized, but she still felt a deep sadness, a pain that couldn't be expressed through any means.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her voice hoarse.
"Where is my mother?"
Zhan Mohan raised an eyebrow. "You want to go see her now?"
"Yes, I want to go now."
No matter who killed her mother, she would find out the truth. For now, she just wanted to know where her mother was.
Zhan Mohan could understand. "Then I'll take you tomorrow."
"No, I want to go now."
Wei Yumeng's attitude was resolute.
Zhan Mohan frowned. "Wei Yumeng, your emotions are not stable right now. Besides, you haven't even settled into your pregnancy yet. If you suffer any serious consequences due to emotional turmoil, can you bear the responsibility?"
He had more experience and considered things more comprehensively. Furthermore, he understood Wei Yumeng's personality too well. If she went now, it would be strange if she didn't break down.
Wei Yumeng just wanted to see Gu Shuyi as soon as possible, even if she hadn't seen her one last time.
Zhan Mohan hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't want to take her, but he was worried about her condition...
Wei Yumeng looked at him pitifully, her slender, fair hands reaching out to tug at his hem.
"Zhan Mohan, please, take me. I promise I'll control my emotions."
Zhan Mohan would have preferred her to be hysterical like before, rather than seeing her looking so pathetic and wronged. In an instant, his heart melted.
Those who truly loved her couldn't bear to see her shed a single tear, suffer such pain, or look dejected. He was especially unable to resist her gentle demeanor.
Zhan Mohan had completely fallen for it.
He finally relented. "Alright, but you have to promise me you'll control your emotions. Both you and the baby in your belly must be fine."
