Chapter 1504: 1503 Blocked Whose Way
Before An Lin could speak, Mom An switched to a heartfelt tone, “Linlin, now that Ah Mu’s father is injured, he’s always at the hospital, he must be very tired. You should try your best to share some of his burdens.”
“Mom, I am sharing his burdens.”
If it weren’t for his father’s injury, there’s no way she’d be delivering meals to him every day.
That issue hasn’t been resolved yet.
“Ah Mu isn’t the type of man without feelings, if you’re good to him, he definitely can feel it, and he’ll reciprocate equally.”
“Linlin, not everyone marries the person they like, not everyone marries their first love.”
An Lin lowered her gaze, her eyes settling on her mother’s hair, as she listened to her continue, “No matter how Ah Mu was before, now, he’s your husband, someone to spend a lifetime with.”
“Mom, I know.”
An Lin pursed her lips, ignoring the surge of emotions inside her.
No wonder so many couples in the world prefer to muddle along rather than get divorced.
It’s really because divorce is too troublesome.
People always say, love is a matter for two people, marriage is a matter for two families, divorce is no different.
“It’s good that you know, don’t just look at your cousin and Yao Dewei divorcing, Yao Dewei gave her a large sum of money, even shared half of the company’s shares with her, and transferred two villas under his name to her, but what good are all these wealth?”
An Lin opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Mom, although wealth is external, your cousin’s marriage with Yao Dewei is because he wronged her, what he gave her is deserved.”
“Deserved?”
Mom An expressed her disagreement, “I used to think so too, but later, I realized it’s not that simple. Not long after their divorce, Yao Xinmin was investigated, and Yao Dewei will definitely be implicated too…”
“Mom, what do you mean?”
An Lin’s hand halted in motion.
Mom An chuckled softly, “A married daughter is like water thrown out, do you really think your mom is senile?”
“Mom, what are you talking about?”
An Lin pretended to be clueless.
“You talk to me about your cousin, aren’t you trying to find out about the Yao family? Although we don’t know who is behind Ah Mu’s father’s injury, one thing is certain.”
“What is it?”
“Whoever he blocked, wants him gone.”
Mom An sighed lightly, “I heard your dad said he’s already started investigating Yao Xinmin, as this case is pursued further, it’s like pulling a radish and bringing up the dirt.”
It’s far too involved.
An Lin looked astonished, “Mom, are you suspecting the Yao family too?”
“I wouldn’t have suspected if you hadn’t asked about your cousin. Old Qin has offended many in this life, you could say, those who want him dead are plenty.”
Mom An sighed with emotion: “But as soon as you came back, you talked about your cousin and roundaboutly asked what the Yao family gave her as divorce compensation. Rather than say I suspect the Yao family, it’s more that I understand my daughter.”
“Mom, you’re truly my real mom.” An Lin pursed her lips and softly said, “Don’t spread this matter, it’s not that I’m hiding it from you or my dad, just don’t want you involved.”
“I understand, do you think I don’t know what’s in your heart?”
Mom An teased, then said, “I heard Tang Yang came back last night, did he find any clues?”

An Lin had planned to have dinner with her mother at home, but at five in the afternoon, Qin Mu’s call came.
“An Lin, why aren’t you at home? Where did you go?”
Hearing Qin Mu’s words, An Lin was slightly startled, and replied calmly, “I came home to see my mom, did you come back home?”
“Yes, I brought mom back, she won’t be going tonight.”
“I’ll be back soon.”
Surely, Qin Mu couldn’t stay at home all the time, he dropped off Mother Qin, and would go back to the hospital later, An Lin didn’t wait for him to say anything before offering to go back home considerately.
“Linlin, was it Ah Mu looking for you?”
After hanging up the phone, Mom An asked with concern.
An Lin nodded, “He took my mother-in-law home, mom, I wanted to accompany you for a while longer, but now I can’t.”
“There’s no need to come back to keep me company now, tomorrow I’ll invite your cousin over for a meal at home, you come over tomorrow noon instead.”

The Qin Family
As soon as An Lin entered the living room, she heard Qin Mu talking on the phone from the sofa.
He was on a call with Gu Kai.
She walked to the sofa, Qin Mu just finished talking to Gu Kai, “Where’s mom?”
There was no sign of Mother Qin in the living room, An Lin asked concernedly.
Qin Mu smiled slightly, gesturing for her to sit, “Mom went upstairs to rest.”
“Were you on the phone with Ah Kai just now?”
An Lin sat down in the space beside him, but left enough room for a person between them.
Qin Mu’s eyes lowered slightly, his tone calm and gentle, “Yes, Ah Kai said dad spoke this afternoon.”
Hearing this, An Lin immediately asked seriously, “Good, did dad mention who called him?”
“It was a disguised male voice, cautious enough to change it.”
A cold gleam flickered in Qin Mu’s eyes, his facial features slightly stern.
“Was it Yao Xinmin?”
Looking at Qin Mu’s stern face, she asked softly.
“I don’t know if it was him, but the call warned dad to stop investigating further. So this matter can’t be disconnected from Yao Xinmin.”
Qin Mu’s voice paused slightly, he stood up, “I’m heading back to the hospital, you stay at home with mom tonight.”
“Go ahead.”

Meanwhile, on the second floor of a villa in A City, a man about sixty was on the phone in the study.
The ruthless voice drilled into his ears, carrying an inviolable authority, “No matter what, you must eliminate Qin Zhongnan before he wakes up and talks.”
The man showed a troubled expression, “Qin Zhongnan’s son, Qin Mu, won’t let anyone visit his father, there are special police guarding the ward in turns, getting our people in is practically impossible.”
“Even if it’s as difficult as ascending to heaven, you must do it, can’t you draw Qin Mu away? Once Qin Zhongnan wakes up and talks, he’ll definitely know it was you on the call.”
The man wiped his sweat with a trembling hand, yielding, “I disguised my voice back then, he won’t recognize it’s me.”
“Even if he can’t recognize your voice, Qin Zhongnan isn’t a fool, he will know it’s you. Now is your only chance, if you don’t eliminate him before he wakes up, then you’ll disappear yourself.”
The implication was, if Qin Zhongnan isn’t taken care of, he would be sacrificed.
The man’s face whitened, “I understand, I’ll definitely eliminate Qin Zhongnan.”
Just after hanging up, a knock sounded outside the study.
“Come in.”
The man steadied himself, uttering a few words and then leaning back in his chair.
The person entering was a man in his thirties, outwardly looking urbane, who closed the study door and called out “Dad” as he strode forward.
“Dewei, have you completed the tasks I asked you to do?”
The man looked at the young man approaching, his voice slightly deep as he asked.
