Chapter 291: Knowing the Truth (2)

Right after Xia Zhetao spoke, he no longer felt as chilly as before. He became spirited and cautiously handed the documents over to Mu Tingfeng.

Mu Tingfeng received the documents from him. He cast a glance at Xia Zhetao discreetly and said coldly, “The documents…”

“Apart from the people who were involved in the investigation, I could assure you that no one has read it before, including myself. Even the people who investigated the case are your closest confidantes. I’ve already warned them beforehand. They definitely wouldn’t reveal even a bit of the replaceings from the investigation.”

Only then did Mu Tingfeng nod with satisfaction. He said, as if proclaiming an act of mercy, “Alright. You may go out now. I’ve already informed the finance department about this month’s bonus. The money would be credited to your account very soon.”

Xia Zhetao’s eyes immediately started sparkling. He expressed his gratitude and added a few more courteous words before he walked out of the ward in glee.

Right after Xia Zhetao left, Mu Tingfeng could no longer hold back the calmness on his face. He quickly unwrapped the folder and took out the documents from the inside.

As Mu Tingfeng had expected, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, which was Zhao Youlin, had basically stayed at home most of the time, and hardly stepped out of the house. She had a very small circle of friends, so few that she hardly had any because her stepmother had purposely obstructed her from making friends. Therefore, it was impossible for her to get in touch with Luo Weibing, let alone be so closely in touch.

On the other hand, Officer Zhao was assigned to Luo Weibing’s school as an instructor for new students in their military training when she was in the military school. She even had a conflict with him.

The two became acquainted when they fought. Ever since then, they had been closer to each other. They kept in touch until… Zhao Youlin was tragically killed in the line of duty.

All of the above had shown evidence that the current Zhao Youlin was no longer the same Zhao Youlin that he remembered long ago. Mu Tingfeng held the documents in his hands tightly and heaved a sigh of relief.

After he had confirmed his own guess, he was no longer as surprised as he was before. Instead, he felt more relieved and relaxed.

Was this a resurrection? Mu Tingfeng never believed in supernatural things. However, now, he had to believe this ridiculous supernatural tale.

It was because this was the only way to explain the doubt which he had buried in his heart.

Mu Tingfeng abruptly recalled Zhao Youlin’s words when she had dug at him.

In truth, not all that Su Ruixin had told Duan Yarong had been lies. The fact that the woman had drugged him did leave him on the receiving end of long-lasting ramifications.

One of the many side effects was his becoming misogynistic. He was disgusted when women approached him. He was disgusted when women touched him. Above all, he could not get it up ever since then.

This was a great humiliation for a man. Even though he did not have a very strong sexual desire compared to others, the fact that things that were under the control of subjectivity and things caused by objectivity could lead to completely different consequences.

This was also the major reason why Mu Tingfeng did not show respect to a certain one over the years. No man could maintain his good mood when facing a woman who had caused him to be dysfunctional in that area.

In spite of it all, the situation changed after the two divorced and met in the pet shop for the first time.

At that time, he took the initiative to grab Zhao Youlin’s wrist. That was their first physical contact since they got married. Neither did he feel disgusted nor reject her as he had expected. Instead, he was surprised that he actually found it acceptable.

Ever since then, whenever he saw Zhao Youlin, be it intentionally or unintentionally, he touched her because he wanted to confirm if that one time had been a mere coincidence.

In truth, it was not a coincidence. Mu Tingfeng still felt disgusted whenever women approached him, even if the woman was his blood-related kith and kin. However, he did not reject Zhao Youlin, the woman who was the root cause of his dysfunction in that area. During that time when the elevator accident happened, while the two were spending time alone in the dark, he had experienced the same situation as today.

This was a question that Mu Tingfeng had been puzzling over. Today, the answer to the question was revealed, which turned out to be a jaw-dropping answer.

So, it had never been the same person since the beginning, right? Mu Tingfeng reached out to cover his eyes. He smiled bitterly. He wondered if he was disappointed or glad about it.

The ward was in dead silence for a few seconds. No one knew what Mu Tingfeng had in his mind at that moment.

After some time, Mu Tingfeng slowly put down his hand which he had used to cover his eyes, revealing his eyes which looked not much different than other days.

The same body was occupied by a completely different soul which gave rise to another person.

‘Since you have taken over the body and everything related to it, its past would belong to you as well. So, in order to make up for my derailed life because of that woman over the past four years, you still have to offer yourself to pay me back!’

Thinking of this, Mu Tingfeng could not help but hold his hands tightly. Regardless of the soul inside the body, this time, he would not give up on her even if it had to cost him his life!

Mu Tingfeng was in a dilemma after learning Zhao Youlin’s actual identity. Meanwhile, something big was going on at the Zhao family’s villa.

Given the previous scandal, Zhao Youxi had basically been locked up at home during these few days. She could not even step out of the main entrance. As such, this was truly something unbearable for her.

Therefore, not long ago, Zhao Youxi had sneaked out when Li Hongyu did not pay attention to her.

Unfortunately, the moment she had reached the main entrance, she was forced to return to her house when she saw the reporters had been waiting outside the villa’s entrance.

“Darn it! Why are there so many reporters outside my house?! They are just like haunted spirits roaming around out there!” Zhao Youxi sat on the sofa and complained indignantly.

When Li Hongyu saw her, she did not know if she should even start to get angry at her. In the end, she said helplessly, “Youxi, you of all people should know well about the situation out there. How could you simply go out?”

“But, Mother, I’ve been staying at home for so long. I…” Zhao Youlin snorted angrily, “All in all, it was that rascal’s fault who offered my things to the publishers. The person who played the tricks behind my back has best not to let me discover his identity, otherwise…”

“Otherwise, what else could you do?” Li Hongyu heaved a sigh. Looking at the furious Zhao Youxi. Li Hongyu was disappointed that her daughter had not lived up to her expectations. “If you were to know how to restrain yourself all the while and don’t go messing around and give chance for others to learn something about you which they could use against you, do you think you would have ended up in hiding? Also, don’t you know the person who played the tricks behind your back? Don’t you even know who you have offended lately? Even if you learn of his identity, do you really think you could do anything about it?”

“Mother, how could you say this?! I’m your daughter!” Zhao Youxi glared at Li Hongyu with dissatisfaction. The next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned ghastly pale.
