Chapter 23

Apologize Now or be Disfigured

Even Jiang Qin, who had been maintaining her arrogant goddess fa?ade, stood up abruptly.

Chen Jiali had her head pressed down on the table and her mind was scrambled.

Mu Anan’s voice was very cold. “I’ll give you a choice. Apologize now or get disfigured.”

“Mu Anan! You think that… You, you, you, don’t do anything…”

Chen Jiali was indignant at first but Mu Anan had already grabbed a pen from the table and stabbed it hard into Chen Jiali’s face.

If Chen Jiali said another word, the pen would cut her face.

Mu Anan, on the other hand, looked like a cold-blooded killer, completely expressionless.

Seeing this, Chen Hua hurried forward. “Anan, Anan, calm down.”

The surrounding people were already scared silly.

“Apologize? Be disfigured?” Mu Anan asked calmly.

The smug Chen Jiali now felt pain on her face and her life threatened. She did not dare to be impudent. “I apologize, I apologize. I was wrong.”

“Who are you apologizing to?”

“Chen, Chen Hua, sorry. I was wrong.”

“You still want her to buy milk tea?”

“No, no thanks.”

After Chen Jiali said this, Mu Anan let go of her, threw the pen aside, and returned to her seat.

Chen Jiali stood up and rubbed her bleeding face and glared at Mu Anan with gritted teeth.

But when Mu Anan looked up, she did not dare to say anything.

Chen Hua looked back and forth between Mu Anan and Chen Jiali, not knowing what to say.

She felt that the queen-like Mu Anan in front of her was completely different from the Mu Anan she knew.

“Class is about to start. Go back to your seat,” said Mu Anan.

Chen Hua was still in a trance until she reacted a few seconds later and returned to her seat.

Jiang Qin looked on coldly but didn’t say a word.

Chen Jiali felt extremely humiliated, but she did not dare to say anything. She could only secretly cast a vicious look at Mu Anan.

News of Mu Anan beating someone up in class spread throughout the mental hospital.

Rumors and gossip immediately flew.

Some people said that Mu Anan was a wild animal, while others said that she was ugly but ruthless.

There were all kinds of comments but Mu Anan did not care.

After work in the evening, Luo Sen came to pick her up.

After Mu Anan said bye to Chen Hua, she got into the car and started studying.

Luo Sen noticed Chen Hua, who was looking at them from the entrance of the hospital.

Luo Sen said, “Miss Anan, your classmate…”

“She’s my friend.”

Mu Anan said directly.

Chen Hua had seen her in luxury cars several times. Mu Anan also thought that she couldn’t hide from Chen Hua much longer. She needed to find a suitable time to tell her.

There was no more talk after that. Mu Anan was busy studying.

She looked up from her books and papers when her eyes were tired.

Luo Sen slowed the car to a stop because of a red light.

Mu Anan rolled down the car window to get some fresh air and cool down. However, her gaze inadvertently landed on a large screen at the side of a building.

Mu Anan froze the moment she saw what was on screen.

On the big screen was a scene at the entrance of a detention center.

A man in handcuffs was escorted out to a car about ten meters away by several police officers.

However, due to the swarming of reporters, the ten-meter journey was arduous.

What made Mu Anan freeze completely was the title on screen.

“The murderer of Jiang Medical CEO’s wife and father-in-law finally surrendered after eight years.”

On screen, the chaos outside the detention center continued. A reporter holding a microphone reported, “Eight years ago, the wife and father-in-law of the Jiang Medical CEO were brutally murdered at home. It was ruled as a robbery gone wrong but due to the lack of evidence, the murderer was at large. Eight years later, the murderer’s conscience finally made him turn himself in!”

Mu Anan’s entire body froze. Her mind was blank as she listened to the news report.

Below the big screen, many people also stopped and watched the news.

“The murderer has finally been caught!”

“There’s finally peace for the victims.”

“Hey, I remember that there was a little girl who survived back then. I wonder how she is now…”

Mu Anan did not know how she got out of the car and inched her stiff body closer to the big screen to watch the news.

“Mr. Chen Ke, why did you suddenly turn yourself in?”

“Mr. Chen Ke, why did you kill Dr. Mu and his daughter back then?”

“Mr. Chen Ke, may I ask how you managed to evade the police for the past eight years?”

Reporters’ questions rang out from the big screen.

The man who was questioned endlessly was about fifty years old. He was wearing a jumpsuit and had very little hair left on his head. His sallow and emaciated face was full of signs of plastic surgery. When he faced the camera, there was no life in his eyes, as if he was dead.

When the reporters’ questions were thrown at him, he suddenly smiled at the camera.

Like a demon!

Mu Anan’s eyes were red as she stared at his face with hatred. She clenched her fists tightly in an attempt to control her emotions, but she could not stop trembling.

That gaze…

She would remember it even if he turned into ashes!

Back then, when she was hiding in the wardrobe, she saw this man stab her mother over and over again with her own eyes. When he turned around to look at her, his eyes were like those of a demon.

It was him!

Mu Anan’s body was weak. She had to hold on to the pillar beside her to prop herself up.

In the car, Luo Sen called Zong Zhengyu.

“Master, Miss Anan has seen the news. She seems… Very bad.”

Zong Zhengyu was in his office when he answered the call.

His suit jacket was casually placed on the sofa. He was in a black velvet shirt with the top three buttons undone. He had his left hand in his pants pocket and a cigarette in his right hand.

He looked down from the tall building and saw people crowding around a few places.

The Mu family tragedy back then shocked the entire city. Although eight years had passed, it caught the attention of the entire city again when the truth was revealed.

Luo Sen’s voice was transmitted into Zong Zhengyu’s ears through a Bluetooth earpiece. “Master, to find out this way seems to be too much for Miss Anan…”

“She’ll be fine.” Zong Zhengyu interrupted Luo Sen. He lowered his head and took a puff of his cigarette. When white smoke came out from his beautiful lips, Zong Zhengyu’s lips curved into a confident smile. “She’s not that fragile.”

The way she found out was cruel and direct.

But it suited Mu Anan.

For so many years, the death of her mother and grandfather had been a thorn in Mu Anan’s flesh.

Because of it, she even forced herself to get close to the two little b*stards of the Jiang family.

Zong Zhengyu knew very well that he could stop Mu Anan, but she was smart and had countless other ways to find out.

This was the best conclusion.

“Master, maybe you should come over. Miss Anan is really in a very…”

“She’s not that fragile!”

Zong Zhengyu disconnected the call with Luo Sen and threw his Bluetooth earpiece on the table.

His words were very cold, but his furrowed brows revealed his worry for Mu Anan.

Zong Zhengyu returned to his desk and turned on his computer.

He accessed Skynet and immediately located Mu Anan. When he zoomed in on the surveillance feed, Zong Zhengyu could see Mu Anan’s condition clearly…
