Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 722 - 721: Come Clean!

When Lu Zheng and the others returned to Shao Chengzhi’s house, Shao Meirou had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

Everyone exchanged greetings, and after some small talk, Lin Chun began to take things out of his bag.

They brought some local specialties from their hometown, such as pine nuts, Hazelnut Mushrooms, and deer antlers, specially for Shao Chengzhi and his family.

Shao Chengzhi really appreciated this simple gesture and couldn’t help but praise them profusely.

When it was time to sit down for the meal, the atmosphere at the dining table was even more joyful, and everyone was chatting merrily.

After the meal, Shao Meirou arranged rooms for Lin Chun and the others to rest in.

Lu Zheng took a moment to instruct Lin Chun and a few others before he and Lu Pengcheng left the house.

When only Lin Chun and his siblings were left in the room, Lin Chun casually mentioned, "Xiaoxia! Lu Zheng is quite busy even during the New Year!

"Yeah! Big sister! Does my brother-in-law even need to visit someone’s house?" Lin Dong was also very curious.

Lin Xia of course knew what Lu Zheng was busy with, but since she didn’t want to let Lin Chun and the others know, she wouldn’t reveal a single word.

"It’s normal for him to visit others during the New Year!"

"Brother-in-law should be busy with his things!" Lin Qiu affectionately held Lin Xia’s hand without letting go, "Sis! Is it hard carrying twins? You don’t look very well!"

Lin Xia’s smile was serene, filled with the glow of motherhood, "It’s okay! People who are pregnant seldom look well! I’ll recover once the vomiting stops after a while!"

"Are you two tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?"

Lin Chun had something he wanted to say to Lin Xia, and he used this as an excuse to send them off.

Lin Qiu and Lin Dong, being perceptive, didn’t say anything and honestly went back to their rooms.

Lin Xia had her suspicions, and seeing all of Lin Chun’s actions, she became even more certain in her heart.

Lin Chun finally found the chance to be alone with Lin Xia and naturally wanted to discuss the issue that had been bothering him for several days.

"Xiaoxia! Have you ever met Lin Fang’s partner?"

Lin Xia nodded without changing her expression, "I have!" She then deliberately asked, "What about it? Big brother!"

That day, she sensed something was off with Lin Chun over the phone and guessed that perhaps Lin Chun had encountered Lin Fang’s partner, which had impacted him, making him act strangely.

And indeed, it was so!

Lin Chun sighed softly, "Ah! Do you still remember the dream I told you about when I woke up in the hospital?"

"I remember!"

"That dream was too realistic; I haven’t forgotten it at all!" Lin Chun hesitated for a bit, and didn’t fully disclose everything,

"In my dream, I saw a man! I thought it was just a dream, but I didn’t expect that such a man really exists in real life! It’s Lin Fang’s partner!"

The younger sister is now married and even carrying twins, so he felt it was better to keep such a dream to himself.

Otherwise, if mentioned, his younger sister might feel uncomfortable, and he would also feel quite awkward.

Lin Xia feigned surprise, "There’s such a coincidence?"

"Yeah! I also think it’s too coincidental!" Lin Chun showed a slightly troubled smile, "You don’t know, I was stunned at the time!"

Lin Xia consoled him, "Big brother! It’s just a coincidence, nothing more! Don’t think too much about it!"

"I also don’t want to think too much! But these past few days, I couldn’t help pondering over it!

I just don’t understand! Why haven’t I ever met him, yet I could dream about him so clearly!"

Lin Chun, no matter how he thought about it, could not understand why someone he had never met would appear in his dreams so vividly!

Lin Xia also couldn’t figure out why Lin Chun had the same dream related to a past life twice.

But if she could revisit the past, was there anything in this world that couldn’t happen?

"Big brother! I can’t explain this to you! But I believe it was just a dream, a coincidence, so don’t take it too seriously!"

Lin Chun’s expression turned serious, "There’s another thing I didn’t tell you. In the dream, I saw that Lin Fang’s partner died young!

Since it was a dream, I find it difficult to use this to caution Lin Fang."

"Big brother! It’s just an unclear dream, don’t advise her! Later, it’ll be hard to explain and if something bad happens, Lin Fang will still blame you!"

After Lin Xia’s persuasion, Lin Chun thought it through a bit and decided not to dwell on it anymore.

"Xiaoxia! Xiaoqiu and Dongzi were there earlier, so I didn’t rigorously question you! What exactly happened? Do you have a conflict with Lu Zheng’s grandmother?"

He still understood his younger sister well; her earlier evasive and joking demeanor was clearly an excuse to avoid the topic.

Lin Xia knew she could no longer hide it, so she briefly explained what had happened.

Hearing this, Lin Chun was so angry he gritted his teeth, "Xiaoxia! It’s a good thing you insisted on not drinking, otherwise the child might not have been safe, not to mention your health could have been ruined! Are they going out to continue investigating this?"

"Yes! We plan to return in a few days and want to expose the mastermind behind this before then!" Even if Lu Zheng had not shared his thoughts with Lin Xia, she could guess why Lu Zheng was so urgent.

Lin Chun reassured Lin Xia, "Don’t worry! Now that we have the portrait, there’s nothing we can’t find out!"

As Lin Chun predicted, Lu Zheng and his team quickly identified Meng Chaoran using the portrait.

Meng Chaoran knew exactly what was going on when the police suddenly showed up at her door.

But her husband and mother-in-law were completely confused, not understanding what trouble she had gotten into to be taken away so suddenly during the New Year festivities, causing chaos and confusion.

After bringing a disheartened Meng Chaoran back to the police station, the officers did not need much effort to extract the full story from her.

Subsequently, Hua Yongfang was brought in for questioning.

Initially, Hua Yongfang stubbornly denied everything, insisting she knew nothing, and even threatened, "Hurry up and release me! Otherwise, when my big brother finds out I’ve been arrested, you’ll be sorry!"

The officers interrogating her were not swayed by her tactics!

Besides, they were working on this case during the holidays following orders from higher authorities.

Were they going to soften just because she made a few threats?

"Quickly confess honestly! We now have both the witnesses and the evidence. By letting you confess yourself, we’re merely giving you a chance for leniency!"

Hua Yongfang scornfully stared at the two officers in front of her, knowing she had been brought in because her sister-in-law had ratted her out.

But the timing chosen to arrest her at her home had been too cunning.

She was alone at home and had no chance to inform her brother Hua Yongbing!

Probably, by the time her husband and son returned home, they would only learn of her arrest through the neighbors!

One of the stern-faced officers slammed a notebook on the table, his expression severe: "Speak! How did you plan the poisoning?"

After a session of psychological tactics, Hua Yongfang finally couldn’t hold up and confessed everything.

Lu Zheng and Lu Pengcheng were in a room where they could overhear the interrogation, and when they heard Hua Yongfang say she had concocted the plan after overhearing information from Lu Pengfei’s wife and daughter, both father and son exchanged surprised glances.

They had suspected relatives and friends of the Lu family of leaking information to the Meng Family, but they had never expected it to be Song Wanjun and Lu Qing...
