Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Innocent Superstar Is Not to Be Messed With 37

When the police arrived and saw the hand bone, they quickly identified it as a human bone, and then continued digging deeper from the spot Shi Wei had excavated.

Before long, a complete human skeleton was unearthed.

Qin Yun and Su Yuixin stood silently by the side, speechless, and now they both had to be taken back for questioning.

Qin Yun kept reassuring herself internally, deciding to claim ignorance, since she truly didn’t know about this matter.

She really didn’t know when the body was buried there, but she vaguely guessed it was likely before Xinxin was born. During that time, many things happened within the Su Family, and if not handled in a timely manner, the Su Family might not be what it is today.

As for why she didn’t know about something buried at home, it was because she wasn’t necessarily home during the day.

Like any wealthy lady, she had many activities during the day.

Taking a deep breath, she decided to cooperate with the investigation but know nothing. After so long, who can prove this skeleton is related to the Su Family?

This Du Chen truly is the Su Family’s nemesis.

“Miss Du, what was your purpose in digging under the tree at the Su Family’s home?” the officer inquired, skeptical of the story about digging for a future letter. Nevertheless, regardless of the reason, they were grateful that Du Chen had exposed the deeply buried secret.

Some things, however, needed to be clarified.

Ah Chen no longer mentioned the future letter and said, “I’ve always been looking for dirt on the Su Family. You probably know my situation well enough; my past grievances with them aren’t minor. We could have gotten along, but they insisted on provoking me and even tried to ruin my career. I’m petty and hold grudges; I couldn’t be satisfied without getting back at them a little.”

“I’m a law-abiding citizen and won’t do anything illegal, but finding evidence of their wrongdoings is fair game. Unexpectedly, by chance, I found out about the nanny’s situation from years ago and that her husband disappeared after investigating the Baolan River pollution.”

“When someone’s been missing for over twenty years, it’s easy to assume the worst.”

“I lived at the Su Family’s place for ten years, where love was scarce. The family photo taken when Ms. Qin was pregnant was always something I envied. I suddenly recalled that photo one day and noticed that one tree in it had grown significantly thicker. So, I decided to take a look at the Su Family’s place.”

At this point, Ah Chen laughed, “Unexpectedly, they had taken many family photos, and comparing the first to the last, that tree showed the most change. So, I used the excuse of digging up something from my childhood, and unexpectedly, I truly uncovered something.”

That was indeed the truth.

Qin Yun and Su Yuixin continued to claim ignorance.

Nie Yanbo’s daughter, Nie Wenwen, appeared, and after a DNA comparison, it was confirmed that the skeleton buried by the Su Family was indeed her father’s.

Nie Yanbo’s cause of death was a blow to the back of the head with a blunt object.

But the skeleton had other injuries, suggesting a struggle with the murderer before death, with the left forearm being shattered.

Subsequently, the police searched the entire Su Family residence, but after more than twenty years, evidence was indeed hard to find.

However, after thorough analysis, they focused their search on Su Zefang’s study, believing it most likely to be the crime scene.

Ah Chen had even checked to confirm if there had been any changes in the study. Over twenty years, the study had not changed much, only a few items were added.

An inner compartment in Su Zefang’s study was found; it contained many unspeakable things, but none related to the murder.

Just when the police were at a loss for evidence, they found a button wedged in the crevice of the bookshelf, wrapped in hair, possibly stuck there due to blood. Upon comparison, the hair matched both Su Zefang and Nie Yanbo.

The button was indeed the one from Nie Yanbo’s right sleeve cuff.

The net of justice, while sparse, lets nothing through; there was no way Su Zefang could escape now.

To lessen his punishment, Su Zefang disclosed those involved in the Baolan River case, implicating a bunch of people.

Among some circles, people only dared to expose Su Zefang’s murder case, letting netizens in on the drama, with little else being disclosed.

Qin Yun was so angry she almost died when she learned that Ah Chen had specifically targeted the Su Family, but there was nothing she could do; she didn’t dare to provoke her.

She hadn’t been involved in those matters and wouldn’t end up in jail.

But the Su Family’s current situation was grim, all the crimes her husband committed could sum to a death sentence, with the best outcome being life imprisonment.

The son was involved in kidnapping and unlawfully restraining someone, his sentence not lengthy, but even one day in jail was different.

Qin Yun deeply regretted not having sent Du Chen to an orphanage back then.

She regretted even more not keeping a better eye on her daughter; if Du Chen hadn’t come to the Su Family, would these things still have happened? Would the forest secret have remained hidden forever?

Su Yuixin was bewildered; she didn’t expect things to develop like this.

The once happy family was gone just like that.

She felt complicit.

Filled with guilt on one side, yet unable to stop reminding herself that breaking the law does indeed deserve punishment.

Su Zihuan, imprisoned, was filled with regret. He really shouldn’t have antagonized Du Chen. If he hadn’t acted against Du Chen, would things have turned out this way?

Netizens were discussing.

[The Su Family is indeed a den of wolves.]

[Chenchen is lucky to have made it out of there alive.]

[It’s funny to think that it all started with Su Zihuan. Who knows how regretful the kid is now.]

Unquestionably, Su Zefang was sentenced to death, and everyone else involved received their deserved penalties.

Just as it seemed this matter had concluded, before Su Zefang’s execution, he shouted that he had killed another. Helpless, the police had to investigate, and sure enough, they found another body somewhere.

Ah Chen, upon learning of this, was also momentarily silent, instantly understanding Su Zefang’s motive.

He didn’t want to die.

There are numerous such cases.

Who knows how many deaths he’s responsible for, but there will eventually be an end.

To her, it didn’t matter; if the Su Family hadn’t committed any wrongs, she wouldn’t have destroyed them. In fact, life was hard for Su Zefang; it was the case investigators who had it tough.

Someone exposed Su Zefang’s deeds, and while netizens were speechless, they couldn’t help but curse angrily.

With that, Ah Chen no longer paid attention to the Su Family, focusing on her career, romance, and occasionally visiting Du Ya.

Until one day, a director came directly to her and Shi Wei, saying he wanted to invite them to star in a drama.

“In recent years, the roles the two of you have played have been diverse, but you absolutely haven’t tried the kind of role I have here, hehe.”

The director suddenly gave a lewd smile, making Ah Chen fall silent.

Shi Wei said nothing but was indeed a little excited. Although he had worked with Ah Chen over the years, they had not played a couple onscreen.

“Although the plot is a bit melodramatic, hehe,” the director said, laughing as he envisioned them playing the roles; she couldn’t control herself, since she was a fan of their couple, “Would the two of you like to try it?”

Ah Chen raised an eyebrow, “Director Yang, I need to see the script first.”

Yang Meimei sighed, pulled out a script, and handed it over: “Both of you, I’m also a fan, and I really look forward to your collaboration.”

Ah Chen and Shi Wei flipped through the script, occasionally exchanging glances because it was truly melodramatic.

Though they didn’t limit themselves to scripts when picking roles, trying anything they found interesting, this was really melodramatic.

Ah Chen was actually quite composed, going through it without expression.

Shi Wei occasionally found himself uncomfortable; the script was very suggestive. The title was “Out of Control,” but he felt acting in it might really make him lose control.

“Do you want to act in it?” Ah Chen asked with a smile in her eyes, sensing Shi Wei’s eagerness, “I haven’t seen Teacher Shi lose control with reddened eyes yet.”

Yang Meimei: Uh, is this something I can hear?

Does the serious person also have such control issues in private?

Shi Wei coughed lightly, “I’m fine with it.”

“What a vague answer.” Ah Chen closed the script, “Seems you’re not too interested.”

Shi Wei hastily pressed down on the script she was about to return, whispering in her ear, “I am.”

Yang Meimei: Whoa! It’s a go.

“Will you act this scene?” Ah Chen suddenly asked.

Shi Wei’s temperament shifted instantly, a gloom surrounding him, a crazed look rolling in his eyes. He grabbed Ah Chen by the waist tightly, filled with hate yet mingled with a complex possessiveness, even a deep-seated affection: “You think I don’t dare do anything to you?”

“What does Teacher Shi plan to do to me?” Ah Chen smiled brightly, wrapping her arms around his waist.

The oppressive aura around Shi Wei disappeared in an instant; if it weren’t for someone else being present, he might really lose control.

Yang Meimei: Is this how you two play privately? Don’t stop, keep going, just pretend I’m not here.
