Chapter 2056: Not Simple

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhou Menglu thought that she would be released after being interrogated at the police station. Now, she would probably never be a free woman ever again. She was so regretful that she burst into tears. “I’m not leaving! I won’t! That photo is fake! It’s definitely fake! Yunyun, save Mommy! Save Mommy…”

Unfortunately, despite how tightly she was hugging the table leg, the prison guards were able to pry her away.

Everyone watched as Zhou Menglu was dragged away like a dead dog. Most of them felt that she deserved it.

Not long after, Zhou Mengjing was brought over.

Zhou Mengjing had not actually done anything wrong. She never abused Sze Lingyun or accepted any betrothal gifts, nor was she Sze Lingyun’s mother. Even though her two daughters were brats, they had never done anything illegal. Thus, Zhou Mengjing did not have much dirt on her hands.

During Zhou Mengjing’s interrogation, it was made apparent that she was far more arrogant than Zhou Menglu.

When asked why her family did not hand over Zhou Hua after seeing the news of the missing person notice, she sneered and asked in return, “Why should we have handed her over? Zhou Hua is my mother’s daughter, not yours. Did we break the law by not handing her over? My family just wasn’t willing to. What other reason do you need?”

Zhou Mengjing was like a rolling boulder, while the Wu family was law-abiding. She all but said that she knew it was impossible for the Wu family to send her to prison.

She only revealed that her mother, who was also Zhou Menglu’s and Zhou Hua’s mother as well as Sze Lingyun’s grandmother, would be returning today.

After Zhou Mengjing was taken away, Wu Jingzhong looked at Nangong Nuannuan and asked a little embarrassedly, “Nuannuan, could satellites from 40 years ago really save images?”

Nangong Nuannuan rubbed her nose and was about to answer when Chi Yang spoke, interrupting her.

“There were satellites 40 years ago, but they were not very sophisticated. Even if they could capture images from such a great distance, there would be two problems. Firstly, it definitely wouldn’t be of good quality, and secondly, it likely wouldn’t have been preserved until today.”

Wu Jingzhong, “…” He had figured, based on what he knew, that this was likely the case.

“Dad, I have a feeling that determining the true cause of my aunt’s death won’t be that simple. The Zhou family is weird. Why didn’t they hand my aunt over upon seeing the missing person’s notice, especially since they’re so greedy?” Wu Pingting was deep in thought.

“It’s simple,” Wu Zongyang responded. “Because our aunt harbored a secret, a secret about the Zhou family they didn’t want exposed. That would explain why Aunt always wore a headscarf to cover her face—so even their neighbors wouldn’t know what she looked like. It would also explain why, even in the face of the temptation of a million missing person notices and a hefty reward, the Zhou family did not dare to hand Aunt over. They were afraid that once they did, they could no longer control whether their secret would be exposed. This concern not only made them give up the opportunity to make a fortune but also made the two sisters not dare to say anything about Zhou Hua to this day. If this isn’t the case, I really can’t think of any other reason for them to hide Aunt so carefully.”

He knew his uncle’s power. Even though Wu Zongyang had only just been born when all of this was taking place and he knew nothing about it before today, he knew that his uncle must have done everything in his power to try to find her.

Still, the Zhou family had not handed Zhou Hua over—and their neighbors did not even know of her existence. It was clear how well the Zhou family had hidden her.
