“I’m sorry, Eldest Uncle,” Yunbao apologized softly, “but I was pushed down by someone.” Yunbao’s voice became softer and softer, and her eyes would occasionally glance at Ye Yan.

Song Yun had taught her to do this. Clearly, Gu Lin had also noticed Yunbao’s actions.

“Who pushed you? Don’t be afraid. Eldest Uncle is here. Eldest Uncle will protect you!” Gu Lin gently stroked Yunbao’s head.

“…It’s Eldest Aunt,” Yunbao finally said.

“How could you lie, child?” Ye Yan’s expression was extremely ugly. She could not believe that this little lunatic was so lucky. She fell from such a high place without being injured at all and even discovered that thing. Damn it!

Ye Yan thought about it, but because Gu Lin was here, she could not flare up. “How did Eldest Aunt offend you? You were the one who fell down because you were playful.”

Gu Zi looked at the woman in front of her and felt that she was a stranger. In her impression, her mother doted on her very much and would stand up for her. She would gently coax her to sleep.

However, she had just seen with her own eyes that her mother had pushed Yunbao down. In addition, she had heard her parents’ conversation previously and knew that Yunbao’s parents were sent in by her mother. She realized that her mother was not what she thought.

“It was Eldest Aunt who pushed me.” Yunbao insisted on her words. Loneliness surged in her heart again, as if no one believed her. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Ye Yan also caught onto Yunbao’s state and hurriedly said, “You’re still a good child ifyou admit to your mistakes. Eldest Aunt won;t blame you.” She was still acting as a kind elder. Those who didn’t know better would really think that she was a spoiled child who had wronged a tolerant elder.

Gu Lin’s eyes also darted back and forth between Ye Yan and Yunbao. He naturally believed in Yunbao, but he could not figure out why Ye Yan would want to kill Yunbao.

“I saw it…” Gu Zi slowly walked out. Her voice was obviously softer than usual as she looked at Ye Yan.

“I saw it. Mommy pushed Yunbao…” As she spoke, she hid behind Gu Lin because she felt Ye Yan’s gaze. It was a fierceness she had never seen before. Poor Gu Zi was so frightened that she cried. She did not like her mother like this.

“Zizi, why are you messing around too?” Ye Yan asked, but there was a hint of threat in her words. Her eyes looked like they wanted to skin Gu Zi alive. She was currently in a high-intensity mental state and was on the verge of collapse. She did not expect her daughter, who she had doted on since she was young, to stand up and point her out.

She looked at Gu Lin and Gu Zi with a friendly gaze, hoping that they would stand on her side. However, Gu Zi only hid behind Gu Lin timidly. Gu Lin did not even look at her and protected the two children behind him.

“Alright! All of you are ingrates! I, Ye Yan, have worked so hard for your Gu family for so many years, but in the end, all of you are siding with the outsider!” Ye Yan screamed crazily.

“Mr. Gu, stop arguing for now.” The police officer came over with a file. According to the missing persons file and the conspicuous tattoo, the identity of the corpse was quickly confirmed. It was He Han.

“I have a few questions for you. Please cooperate.”

Ye Yan was originally furious, but when she heard He Han’s name, her expression suddenly changed drastically, as if she had seen a ghost. She was still muttering something, but no one could hear her clearly.

Ye Yan was extremely tense and anxious. She seemed to have seen an armless female ghost looking at her and approaching her step by step.

“Don’t come over! Don’t come over!” Ye Yan suddenly shouted, scaring everyone around her into looking in her direction. However, she still looked like she had seen a ghost. She suddenly retreated and sat on the ground. Her legs kept kicking backward, and her red heels were kicked off. Her high-end miniskirt was also stained with cement dust.

Ye Yan got up in a sorry state and wanted to run away, but she was stopped by the police nearby. It was obvious that she was not in a good state of mind, but she had yet to finish asking the questions. In addition, her actions revealed a guilty conscience, so she could not let her leave.

“Madam, please calm down.” The person in charge of controlling Ye Yan was probably an intern police officer. It was obvious that he had never seen such a scene before and had even been slapped a few times by the crazy Ye Yan.

Yunbao and Gu Zi were taken away from the scene after being questioned. After all, they were children. Such a graphic scene might traumatize them.

“I’m sorry, Sister.” Gu Zi lowered her head in self-reproach, her tone gloomy.

“It’s not your fault. This has nothing to do with you.” Yunbao also pretended to be an adult and showed her friendliness to Zizi. “I still have two candies here. Let’s each have one!”
