Zong Zhengyu grabbed Mu Anan’s hand and placed it on his thigh. He tapped it gently and said, “You look great. As long as you stand there, your mother will feel gratified.”

As he spoke, the man turned to look at her.

Mu Anan’s heart skipped a beat.

Zong Zhengyu’s words had indeed eased her chaotic and nervous mood.

All these years, she had never dared to visit her mother.

It was because she felt that Jiang Group was constantly growing while she was too weak. Mu Anan had no progress in taking revenge and was still greedy to stay within the safe space Zong Zhengyu had given her.

Mu Anan felt that she was not qualified at all.

But now, everything was finally over. Jiang Group was about to disappear from Jianglan City, and Mu Group was about to return.

The glory that had been lost would return.

She was finally qualified to see her mother.

But Mu Anan was worried that after so long, her mother would be dissatisfied with her growth, and her actions would make her mother unhappy.

She was very nervous.

However, the man’s words calmed her uneasiness.

Mu Anan watched as the man beside her grabbed her hand and suggested. “Sleep for a while?”

Mu Anan’s mother’s cemetery was in the suburbs, and it was more than an hour’s journey.

But Mu Anan couldn’t sleep at all.

She shook her head and quietly turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Along the way, she was quiet.

Zong Zhengyu didn’t say anything else.

The car drove into the city and stopped at a red light at an intersection. However, Mu Anan’s attention was unexpectedly attracted by the screen of the building beside her.

The background of the screen was in front of the court. Frontline reporters were reporting on the recent murder of Jiang Group’s CEO and the suspected crime of the Huo Group’s CEO.

However, today’s court hearing was about the Jiang Zhen Murder Case.

“Frontline reporter reporting that the court has issued the final verdict regarding the murder case involving the CEO of Jiang Group. Jiang Zhen has been convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.”

When the reporters reported, they released a short video of Jiang Zhen being taken away.

Although she wasn’t sure, Mu Anan saw that Jiang Zhen was wearing a prison uniform and his hair had turned white overnight.

When he raised his head to face the reporters, they took a clear picture of his appearance.

His eyes were completely dark, and there were many black spots on his face. His lips were dry and peeled, but his gaze seemed unwilling as he stared at the camera.

Mu Anan looked at Jiang Zhen through the screen, her emotions complicated.

The car drove normally, but Mu Anan kept staring out of the window, even though she could no longer see any news reports about Jiang Zhen.

Mu Anan clenched her fists tightly.

Zong Zhengyu had been holding her hand the whole time. Feeling her tenseness, he turned back to look at her.

Mu Anan pursed her lips as if she had made a decision. “Zong Zhengyu, I want to see him.”

Mu Anan turned to look at Zong Zhengyu. “Can I?”

“Sure.” Zong Zhengyu did not ask any more questions and agreed readily. He raised his head and gave Luo Sen a look.

The convoy turned around at the next intersection.

“Jiang Zhen will be placed in Longyang Island Prison,” Zong Zhengyu stated.

Mu Anan had heard of Longyang Island Prison.

It was a prison built on an island. Surrounded by the sea, there was nowhere to escape.

It was famous for its strict management. Only those who committed major crimes would be sent there. It was worse than hell.

That was the place that all criminals were most afraid of.

Mu Anan knew very well that Zong Zhengyu must be involved behind the scenes for Jiang Zhen to have been brought to court so quickly, the verdict to be passed so quickly, and Jiang Zhen to even be sent to Longyang Island Prison.

Mu Anan took a deep breath. “I just want to see him and ask him a question for Mom.”

“Yes, I know,” the man replied simply.

Mu Anan looked back at Zong Zhengyu, then lowered her head and looked away.

Zong Zhengyu’s convoy stopped the escort van on an uninhabited road in the suburbs.

It was obvious that they knew each other.

When Mu Anan got out of the car, a handcuffed Jiang Zhen was pushed out of the car. However, the inspector did not follow Jiang Zhen.

Mu Anan and Jiang Zhen walked toward each other and finally stopped about a meter away from each other.

Mu Anan’s expression was calm, but Jiang Zhen’s condition was worse than what was shown on the screen.

Mu Anan could see that the hair on his forehead was protruding, and his face was dark. He looked gloomy and lifeless.

The father and daughter looked at each other on the deserted road.

The escort van and Yuyang Estate’s convoy stopped at the side, and no one disturbed them.

“I’m going to see Mom later.” Mu Anan took the initiative to speak.

Her tone was calm, but her eyes were fixed on the changes in Jiang Zhen’s expression.

At the mention of Mu Qing, Jiang Zhen’s face was expressionless except for a disdainful sneer.

Mu Anan clenched her fists and continued, “You’ve been married to her for so many years, and she’s been devoted to you and tolerant of you, both in your career and in your life. So, I’m here to ask you on Mom’s behalf. In all these years, have you ever wavered, even for a moment, and felt sorry for Mom’s sacrifice?”

That question was actually very meaningless.

She had been dead for so many years.

It was just like when a man and a woman broke up, and they were obsessed with the question, did they love each other?

But Mu Anan wanted to ask.

She felt sorry for her mother. She wanted to know if her mother’s sacrifice had moved this man.

After Mu Anan asked this question, Jiang Zhen was silent for a long time before he finally answered, “Yes.”

“When?” Mu Anan asked.

“Too many, I can’t even count them,” Jiang Zhen replied casually.

He looked at the scenery beside the road.

Mu Anan was standing opposite him. No one knew what Jiang Zhen was thinking about as he looked at the scenery.

But it didn’t matter.

“All right, I got it. Thank you.” Mu Anan didn’t want to talk to him anymore, so she turned around and prepared to leave.

However, as she turned around, Jiang Zhen’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her. “But I only found out today that your mother hid such a big secret.”

Mu Anan turned around. “What did she hide?”

Jiang Zhen did not answer Mu Anan. Instead, he asked her, “Do you know why I’ve been cold to you since you were young?”

“Because you don’t like me,” Mu Anan replied.

Jiang Zhen nodded. “Yes, because I hate you. You’re too smart, and you’re also willful. From the moment you were born, I felt that you didn’t fit in. But at that time, I wondered why you didn’t resemble me at all, even though you were my daughter at the end of the day. Ha, but now I know the reason. Because you don’t have my blood in you!”

After saying that, Jiang Zhen started laughing crazily.

As he laughed, he started coughing violently.

Mu Anan was shocked by Jiang Zhen’s words.

After a few seconds, she finally reacted. “You, what do you mean?”

Jiang Zhen was still laughing and shaking his head. “What do you think I mean? Ever since you were young, I felt that you weren’t like me. I felt that your mother had you with someone else. That’s why she agreed to my proposal so quickly back then. However, I’ve done countless paternity tests over the years, and all of them proved that I’m related to you. It wasn’t until I was arrested that I found out that someone had been watching you all these years to ensure your safety. Even when something happened to the Mu family, someone must have informed that person in Yuyuan Estate in advance.. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago!”
