Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 151 Mu Tianyang's Dilemma

"Dad..." Mu Yaoqian had already guessed that her actions had been exposed when she received the phone number that had been used to contact Mu Tianyang alone. Otherwise, Mu Tianyang would not have known that she had secretly gone abroad and had said things like that no one was in charge of the company.

"Where are you now? Did you go to America? You unfilial daughter, you killed your aunt! Stay in America and don't come back!" Mu Tianyang said angrily, actually telling Mu Yaoqian to stay in America to avoid jail time.

Mu Yaoqian was startled. She had only guessed before, but now she was even more certain. "Dad, I..."

"Don't call me Dad. Just pretend I never had a daughter like you. Either come back and turn yourself in, or never come back to acknowledge me again!" Mu Tianyang roared, seemingly in anger.

The police were stunned. Wasn't this clearly telling Mu Yaoqian that her crimes had been exposed? How could she possibly come back?

The police finally realized something was wrong, immediately took the phone, and said to Mu Yaoqian, "I am your father's doctor. He has been hospitalized because of your illness. I hope you can come back and see him."

Mu Yaoqian was taken aback: "What illness?"

"You've had a heart attack, you'd better come back as soon as possible."

Mu Yaoqian remained silent, a sudden thought striking her. Her father had clearly meant to prevent her from returning, but now the doctor was telling her to go back, and her father hadn't said a word. Could it be that her father had already been taken into custody by the police?

Mu Yaoqian felt a surge of tension, and Mu Tianyang was also very scared, thinking: Yaoqian, please don't come back.

He already knew that Mu Yaoqian had ordered Yan's mother to be killed. Although he was heartbroken and resentful, he, Mu Tianyang, only had this one daughter, and he couldn't bring himself to kill his own family for the greater good.

At that moment, his heart was filled with guilt, helplessness, and deep sorrow. But what could he do? The woman he loved had already left; did he have to lose his daughter as well?

Mu Yaoqian hung up the call, her palms sweating, but she was also worried that Mu Tianyang might really be sick. Although she had been his enemy for so many years, he was still her father after all, and how could she not be heartbroken if something really happened to him?

She wanted to call the company to ask about the situation, but she was worried about being watched by the police, and she couldn't take the risk. She gripped her phone tightly, thought it over and over, and suddenly pulled out the SIM card and threw it directly into the lake outside.

Since her father told her to run away, she absolutely couldn't get caught. America, yes, her father had already reminded her to go to America. She had enough money now; as long as she became a U.S. citizen and never went back, those police wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

However, it only benefited that bitch Yan Zuozuo!

Thinking of this, Mu Yaoqian buried her face in her hands and started crying again. She might never see Mu Tianyang again; her father must hate her now and never want to acknowledge her again.

Looking in the direction of Mu Tianyang's residence, she said with tears streaming down her face, "Dad, I'm sorry..."

In the police station, the police officer looked at Mu Tianyang with a serious expression. "Mr. Mu, are you aware that your actions constitute the crime of harboring a criminal, and we can prosecute you according to the law?"

Mu Tianyang remained silent.

"You're a smart man, deliberately saying things like that to prevent the suspect from returning to his home country and to seek protection in the United States. Based on your actions, you could very well face three to ten years in prison, Mr. Mu..."

"I understand what you mean. I have nothing to say. Arrest me if you want, sentence me if you want," Mu Tianyang said blankly. He felt sorry for Yan's mother, and perhaps only in this way could he feel at ease.

"Mr. Mu..."

"Don't tell me anything else. I have only one request: could you please not tell Yan Zuozuo yet? You haven't caught anyone, and I don't want the sisters to have any suspicions about each other," Mu Tianyang said.

"Mrs. Chi already knows, and your daughter even sent someone to follow her, intending to harm her. Fortunately, President Chi was prepared. Otherwise, your daughter would be facing far more serious consequences than just a murder charge," the police officer said sternly.

Mu Tianyang swayed, his heart aching terribly. Was it that he shouldn't have married Yan's mother in the first place, or that he shouldn't have had such a daughter? How could she be so heartless and cruel?

He clutched his chest, suddenly looking much older.

The police simply told him that he was being wiretapped and was forbidden from contacting Mu Yaoqian again. Mu Tianyang didn't know if he heard anything or not, and returned home in a daze.

In the living room sat a portrait of Yan's mother. He staggered over to offer incense, tears streaming down his face. "Fenfang, I've wronged you my whole life. I wanted to give you a good life, but in the end, I caused your death. Don't blame Yao Qian, hate me instead. I failed to raise her properly..."

The portrait of Yan's mother still shows her smiling, as if she no longer cares about these things.

Luo Bin quickly contacted Chi Moqing. When Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo arrived at the police station, he briefly explained the situation and finally sighed, "I'm afraid Mu Yaoqian won't be coming back for the time being. Mu Tianyang has tipped her off, and she may have already applied for American citizenship. The situation is probably very complicated now."

If she had indeed acquired U.S. citizenship, the murder would only be prosecuted in the United States according to U.S. law. Although they have identified Mu Yaoqian as the murderer, the chain of evidence is still insufficient. Under these circumstances, Mu Yaoqian cannot be convicted in the United States.

Yan Zuozuo clenched her fists, as if she had already accepted the fact that Mu Yaoqian had killed her mother. She was no longer as desperate as she had been yesterday, but she just couldn't understand why Mu Yaoqian had targeted her mother and why Mu Tianyang had helped her escape.

She clenched her teeth tightly, her face deathly pale. Seeing her like this, Chi Moqing held her tightly in his arms, filled with worry.

He took Yan Zuozuo back to the compound and immediately contacted their American partners to see what their opinions were. However, the reply from the United States was, "Your chain of evidence is not sufficient. Even if you request the United States to deport you, we will not pay attention to it."

Chi Moqing hung up the line. The important thing now is to form a complete chain of evidence and request the United States to deport Mu Yaoqian before she becomes a U.S. citizen.

When Yan Zuozuo woke up, she saw Chi Moqing sitting on the edge of the bed with a furrowed brow. She had just overheard his conversation with the other person and couldn't help but feel sad again. "How could Uncle Mu do this? He said he would make Mom happy... Now that Mom is dead, he even tipped off Mu Yaoqian. Why did they do this..."

Chi Moqing felt sorry for her and hugged her, wiping away her tears again and again. "Don't cry, don't cry. I will find a way to avenge Mom. I will definitely bring Mu Yaoqian to justice. Don't be sad."

Yan Zuozuo was still sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't want everyone to worry, but the thought of her mother's tragic death made her incredibly sad. She buried her head in Chi Moqing's arms and cried for a long time until she heard her baby crying from the next room. Only then did she wipe away her tears and go to take care of the baby. Chi Moqing stayed by her side, afraid that something might happen to her.

When Chi's mother brought up the porridge, she saw Yan Zuozuo's heartbroken appearance and wiped away her own tears. Fortunately, there were two children keeping her in check, otherwise, who knows what would have happened to this girl.

"Zuo Zuo?" Chi's mother brought over the soup and said gently, "Have something to eat after you finish feeding the baby."

Yan Zuozuo looked up at her, her eyes welling up with tears, "Mom..."

"I'm here. If you want to cry, just cry. Mommy's here with you."

Yan Zuozuo looked at the child in her arms, tears streaming down her face. Only when she saw that the child's face was covered with tears did she helplessly wipe away his tears, then put the child in Chi's arms and ran out.

Chi Moqing followed her out and saw her squatting in the corner of the room. He squatted down beside her and reached out to wipe away her tears.

“Husband…” Yan Zuozuo looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for the baby to be sad… I didn’t mean to…”

Chi Moqing smiled and gently stroked her neck. "I know you're just too sad. But what's done is done, and we can't change it. Try to adjust your mood, okay? Don't cry anymore."

Yan Zuozuo nodded vigorously and threw herself into his arms. "I will, I will try my best."

"Yes, my wife is the bravest." Chi Moqing cupped her face and kissed away her tears.

Just then, Yan Zuozuo's phone rang. It was Fisher calling. "Hello, sweetheart, do you remember me?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, her voice still choked with emotion, "Hello, who is this?"

"You really hurt me. We've met before, and I'm quite the handsome guy, how could you forget that?" Fisher looked heartbroken.

Yan Zuozuo snapped out of her daze and finally remembered, but she still wasn't in the mood. She gave a weak smile and said, "Mr. Fisher? I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you at first."

Fisher laughed heartily: "What's there to apologize for? I'm the one who should apologize for calling you so abruptly. Sweetheart, do you have time today? How about you be my tour guide and we take a day trip around the city?"

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible for a while, I have some things to take care of at home..."

"Oh, that's a real shame. Alright, then I'll go torture my apprentice. I'm sure he'll welcome me, unlike Little Sweetheart who cruelly rejected me." He's clearly a grown man in his mid-thirties, but his words and actions are like a child's.

Yan Zuozuo smiled, apologized, and ended the call.

Chi Moqing frowned deeply, looking at her with a serious expression. "A very classy man, hmm?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, and met someone's unfriendly expression. She blinked and said, "Fischer, my distant master."

"I know." Chi Moqing's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. The next second, he leaned down and bit her nose. "Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious!"

Yan Zuozuo's face darkened. She glared at him, wiped away her tears, and stood up. After a pause, she said, "I've thought about it. I'm afraid Mom's case won't be closed anytime soon. I can't stay so depressed. I need to pull myself together."

Hearing her say that, Chi Moqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and hugged her, kissing her hair and saying, "This is my wife, she will never be defeated no matter what setbacks she encounters."

“Husband…” Although Yan Zuozuo spoke firmly, she still felt sad in her heart. She hugged Chi Moqing tightly, “Do you think Mom would be sad if she knew what Mu Yaoqian and Uncle Mu did?”

"No, Mom is a kind and open-minded person. She has a forgiving heart and might even be destined to be a Bodhisattva," Chi Moqing said gently. Although he didn't believe in gods, he felt it wouldn't hurt to believe occasionally if he could comfort his wife.

"Is that so?" Yan Zuozuo looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with hope.

“It must be true, so you should be happy. Your mother will never have to endure any more pain. She will only save people from suffering. She won’t blame Mu Yaoqian, and she won’t blame Uncle Mu either. In her heart, those things can no longer hurt her.” Chi Moqing said, looking at her.

Yan Zuozuo remained silent, burying her face in his chest. After a long while, she finally said, "Maybe."
