The man’s face darkened as he nodded, crossed the police cordon, and approached Lin Yixun step by step. Her face was streaked with tears, indicating she had been crying for a long time. Her hollow, dark eyes terrified the man like never before. He had never seen Lin Yixun so desperate and helpless; she looked like a soul-less puppet, sitting motionlessly with her entire being emptied. The man’s heart tightened involuntarily, even in the lavender field back then, she had never looked . Newest update provided by novel(ꜰ)ire.net The man opened his mouth, and after a long while, managed to utter in a strained voice, "Lin Yixun..." But Lin Yixun didn’t respond, remaining motionless as before. Seeing this, Leng Yixiu stretched out his hand and gently patted Lin Yixun’s shoulder, "Lin Yixun, let go of your mother. Your mother is gone, she needs to be buried peacefully." "Buried peacefully?" Lin Yixun suddenly turned her head, her bloodshot eyes coldly staring at Leng Yixiu, "What do you mean buried peacefully? My mom is just sleeping, she is only sleeping!" The man’s words were cut short by Lin Yixun’s cold interruption, making a gesture to silence him, "Shh! My mom is sleeping, don’t disturb her!" Saying that, Lin Yixun looked down at Lin’s mother in her arms, gently wiping the blood off her forehead, and whispered softly, "Mom, you must be tired, it’s okay, sleep for a while, I’ll wake you at mealtime." Old He noticed Lin Yixun’s strange demeanor, and instinctively moved closer to Leng Yixiu, whispering, "Boss, Miss Lin seems to have suffered a severe shock. At this rate, she might stay here all day. Should we have someone separate her from Mrs. Lin?" Leng Yixiu gave Lin Yixun a deep glance but shook his head, "No need, she needs time to accept all this." Leng Yixiu understood very well that this incident was a heavy blow to Lin Yixun. To accept Lin’s mother’s death, she must come to terms with it herself, others couldn’t force it. The man stood quietly behind Lin Yixun, waiting patiently. As time passed, the surrounding onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only the responsible police and Leng Yixiu’s team. Seeing the late hour, Old He began to worry, "Sir, I think Miss Lin cannot accept all this for the time being. If we let her continue , her body might not be able to endure." Upon hearing this, the man’s face darkened. Old He had a point. If Lin Yixun continued to hold onto Lin’s mother, without eating or drinking, her body wouldn’t last long. Thinking this, he reluctantly signaled the bodyguards behind him to forcibly separate Lin Yixun and Lin’s mother. The bodyguards received the order and respectfully approached Lin Yixun, "Miss Lin, excuse us!" "What are you doing? Let go of me!" As soon as the bodyguards touched Lin Yixun, she went wild, struggling frantically. She wouldn’t let the bodyguards touch her, nor Lin’s mother. But, due to the difference in strength and the bodyguards’ training, Lin Yixun and Lin’s mother were eventually separated. Watching Lin’s mother being carried onto a stretcher by the police and loaded into a police car "What are you doing? Where are you taking my mom?" Lin Yixun suddenly found the strength to break free from the bodyguards and crazily chased the police car. Leng Yixiu quickly approached and embraced her from behind. "Yixun, calm down. They are just performing their duties, investigating your mother’s cause of death." "Cause of death? My mom is just sleeping, she’s not dead!" "Yixun, this is already a fact. Your mom is dead, the dead cannot come back to life." "No, you’re lying! My mom is not dead! You’re lying! My mom is not dead! She’s just sleeping! Let go of me, let go of me!" Seeing the police car start, Lin Yixun panicked and suddenly bit down hard on Leng Yixiu’s arm. Leng Yixiu grunted in pain but didn’t release her, instead holding her tighter. He let Lin Yixun bite him, thinking that maybe it could alleviate her pain. Lin Yixun grasped his clothes tightly, her teeth deeply embedded in his flesh, yet her heart refused to accept Lin’s mother’s death. His shirt was soaked with warm tears, the hot sensation gradually spread from his skin to his heart, turning dull pain into sharp agony. Leng Yixiu never imagined things would come to this. He thought that ending his relationship with Cheng Ying and spending time with Lin Yixun would eventually mend their relationship because he had a lifetime. However, fate played a cruel joke. Lin’s mother’s death meant losing the last leverage to keep Lin Yixun by his side. Between him and Lin Yixun... He couldn’t bear to think of the consequences. He bitterly curled his lips; he thought he had plenty of time, but it turned out their time was running out. Lin Yixun cried in his arms for a long time until she fainted from exhaustion. The man carried her and instructed Old He to find Cen Lin to check on her. "She’s just overly sad and fatigued, nothing seriously wrong, a bit of IVF will make her fine." "Is she really okay?" The man glanced deeply at Lin Yixun on the hospital bed, still worried. "Don’t you trust me?" "That’s not it, I just..." "I understand, you’re anxious." Cen Lin gave him a look, "Her physical condition is fine, but I can’t guarantee her mental state. After all, her relative died. Moreover, she already had depressive tendencies, so extra caution is needed during this period." After checking Lin Yixun, Cen Lin wrote a prescription, gave a few instructions, and left. Soon after, Assistant Chen entered. "Boss, the forensic examination results are out. As described by the witnesses on-site, it is indeed suicide." "Yes, that’s the forensic’s conclusion." The man’s eyes darkened in thought. If the forensic results showed Lin’s mother died from suicide, it was baffling. From what he knew, Lin’s mother was about to be discharged. She had endured the toughest surgery, so under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have a motive for suicide. Then why would she suddenly commit suicide? Retrieving his thoughts, he told Assistant Chen, "Investigate who interacted with Lin Yixun’s mother in the past few days."
