A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1459 - 284: The Truth of the Past, Han Mountain, Han Mountain

Pei Ying’s pupils contracted sharply, but it was only for a moment as it became as calm as a breeze over a lake. However, none of this escaped Yan Guobai’s notice.

His heart gradually sank; it turned out that the second sister-in-law’s death really was related to her.

"I don’t know where you heard it from, but I’m telling you, the second sister-in-law’s death has nothing to do with me." Pei Ying declared righteously, her indomitable spirit made anyone instinctively believe her. After many years as a couple, only Yan Guobai truly understood her.

Pei Ying clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves; although she appeared composed, she felt a growing panic inside.

"I’d be a fool to believe you; the second sister-in-law came to me in a dream last night, Pei Ying." Yan Guobai pointed at the Buddha statue: "The Buddhism cultivates for the next life, emphasizing the cycle of cause and effect. Do you think burning a couple of incense sticks can easily wipe out all the bad deeds you’ve done in this life?"

Pei Ying turned and left: "You’re crazy; I’m not going to argue with you."

Yan Guobai hurriedly went up and grabbed her: "Stop right there, Pei Ying, you killed the second sister-in-law, and yet you show no remorse. How could there be such a malicious woman like you in this world?"

Pei Ying let out a cold laugh: "Yan Guobai, we’re equally matched; neither of us is nobler. You like Mu Ziling, but has she ever even looked at you properly? You’re so eager to jump out and avenge her, I really pity you. If she wants revenge, let her come to me herself, is there anyone I’m afraid of?"

Yan Guobai said coldly: "So you admit that you killed her?"

Pei Ying shrugged: "It was the eldest sister-in-law who killed Mu Ziling, it has nothing to do with me."

"You still won’t admit it?"

"Why should I admit to something I didn’t do?" Pei Ying said with a cold smile.

"It’s fine if Mother doesn’t admit to the second aunt’s death, but can you really say it has nothing to do with you?" A voice filled with mockery suddenly rang out, both of them turned their heads to see Yan Nangui striding in from outside, two uniformed police officers following him. After they came in, they noticed another scruffy, disheveled man following behind Yan Nangui, it was none other than Yan Nanrong.

Pei Ying felt a slight unease, but she sneered: "Xiao Qi, what are you trying to pull off this time? I don’t have time to play games with you." With that, she turned and left.

Yan Nangui blocked her path, smiling: "Mother, you’re not allowed to go anywhere today."

Pei Ying glared angrily: "Don’t push it too far."

Yan Nangui laughed: "Mother, you’re involved in a murder case. The police have come to our home, and since you’re of age, it’s not easy for you to travel. I’ve explained to them especially to take your statement at home, hoping that you will cooperate."

Pei Ying instinctively took a step back, "What murder case, I don’t understand."

One of the middle-aged police officers stepped forward, showing his badge, "I am Hao Ming, captain of the Southwest Police Bureau Criminal Investigation Team 1. There are several doubts regarding homicide case 106 that need to be questioned. We hope you can support our police work in identifying the murderer and redressing grievances for the victim."

Pei Ying’s heart slowly sank.

Yan Nangui smiled: "Mother, you should be quite familiar with the deceased. It’s my fourth sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law Pei Xinyi. She committed suicide in a hotel, but after a series of investigations, the police found that the deceased was murdered, and the scene was staged to look like a suicide. Such a thing happened in broad daylight; we cannot let the fourth sister-in-law die in vain, and must bring the murderer to justice."

Pei Ying glanced at him, discovering a deeply hidden hatred in his eyes. She knew there was no escaping today; this wolf cub had grown up and was baring his sharp fangs at her, ready to tear her apart at any moment.

"I’m deeply sorry about Xinyi’s case, but I fear I can’t be of much help..." With that, her body swayed, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Yan Nangui and Yan Guobai watched with wide eyes, but nobody reached out to help her. Yan Nanrong quickly stepped forward and caught Pei Ying in his arms, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

She had already fainted, unconscious.

"Fainted, huh. Pressing the philtrum always works best for that." Yan Nangui said as he extended his hand to press Pei Ying’s philtrum, timing his fainting perfectly.

Yan Nanrong raised his hand to block him and swept a cold gaze over him: "Mom fainted, anything else will have to wait until she wakes up." With that, he carried her out with large strides.

Yan Nangui smiled and said to the two police officers: "Sorry to keep you waiting. Someone, please serve tea." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The two police officers hurriedly said it wasn’t necessary; Yan Qi had spoken, who dared to refuse? Unless they didn’t want to live...
