434 Kidult
In the end, while the old lady was kicking up a fuss, she was taken away by the security guard, leaving only Sixth Sister, who was stiff with fear, outside the clinic.
Recalling the scene of his mother being taken away by the security guards, Sixth Sister couldn’t help but feel afraid.
If the old lady revealed that she provided the oleanders, would she go to jail too?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She quickly got up and ran home when she saw that no one was paying attention to her.
She took out a big snake skin bag and stuffed all the clothes into it. Then, she rummaged through the house and plundered all the valuable things and money hard-earned by her brothers.
When she left, she did not even look back once, which showed how coldhearted she was.
In the clinic, the security guards questioned the few brothers one by one. When they heard them stammering and explaining the situation in detail, they felt a strong sense of repulsion towards this ruthless old lady.
How cold was she to kill her pregnant daughter-in-law with her own hands? Could that bit of money really destroy people’s hearts?
Three hours later, the woman slowly woke up. While she was still in a daze, she suddenly heard a concerned voice. “Qin Mei, you’re finally awake. How is it? Are you feeling unwell?”
The woman looked around and asked weakly, “Where are we?”
The man looked troubled and remained silent.
Seeing the man’s face filled with pain, Qin Mei suddenly had a bad feeling. In an instant, she recalled the scene before she fainted. Her heart skipped a beat and she instinctively touched her stomach. Her head buzzed and her face turned pale. Her pupils constricted. She opened her mouth and whimpered, “My child…”

In the Mu family’s house in the capital.
In the study.
Mu Tianzheng looked at the old man opposite him with a dark expression.
The person opposite him was Han Cang, the old master of the Han family, who was on good terms with the Mu family.
Han Cang was now 67 years old, two years older than Mu Tianzheng. The two of them were about the same age and acquainted with each other in the same army. After leaving the army, one of them was assigned to the Public Security Bureau while the other entered the business circle.
Now, the two of them were standing at the peak of their jobs and had become formidable figures.
At this moment, Han Cang was dressed in a dark red Tang suit and exuded an elegant aura. Although he was old, he was still well-maintained and energetic. His eyes were bright and sharp. He was slender and his back was straight. His sitting posture was exactly the same as Mu Tianzheng’s, showing the demeanor of a general.
Of course, there was a good saying that one should not judge a book by its cover…
“Did you come here just to drink tea?”
Seeing that Han Cang did not speak for a long time and only drank tea leisurely, Mu Tianzheng could not help but ask.
Seeing that Mu Tianzheng was not calm, Han Cang put down the teacup in his hand and snorted. “Old Mu, we’ve known each other for decades. I didn’t expect you to be such a person.”
Mu Tianzheng was speechless. He said angrily, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t act mysteriously.”
Han Cang pointed at his nose and asked, “Let me ask you, are we still friends?”
Mu Tianzheng knew Han Cang’s temper like the back of his hand. He was the kind of person who became more and more mischievous as he got older. He wanted to say no. If he really said it, the Mu family would no longer be able to live in peace. He could only say perfunctorily, “Yes.”
“Old Mu!”
