Chapter 1021 Shock

"I... I want to know more about Lu Jingshen and Sophie." Jiang Mubai's voice was trembling, and it was almost unrecognizable as her own.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then the lawyer slowly said: "Ms. Jiang, there are some things that the less you know, the better..."

At this moment, Jiang Mubai heard a loud noise from the other end of the phone, followed by the lawyer's exclamation, and then the call was suddenly disconnected. Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind...

The sudden change on the other end of the phone almost made Jiang Mubai's heart stop. The lawyer's scream, the loud noise, and then the eerie silence, all of which were like sharp needles piercing her nerves. She redialed the lawyer's number over and over again, but only heard the cold prompt tone of "The number you dialed is turned off." Fear overwhelmed her like a tide, she held the phone tightly, her knuckles turned white, and cold sweat oozed from her palms.

Cheng Yunchuan noticed something was wrong with Jiang Mubai, put down the toy in his hand, walked over to her, and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

Jiang Mubai raised her head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan's gentle and concerned eyes. She suddenly felt wronged and helpless. She handed the phone to Cheng Yunchuan and said in a trembling voice: "Lawyer...something happened to the lawyer..."

Cheng Yunchuan took the phone and looked at the undialed number with a frown on his face. He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and patted Jiang Mubai on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Help me check the last call location of this number, and send someone to protect Jiang Mubai immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Mubai tightly in his arms, feeling her body trembling. He gently stroked her hair and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I will find out about this matter and won't let you get hurt."

Jiang Mubai's heart was filled with fear and anxiety, but she knew that at this moment, the only person she could rely on was Cheng Yunchuan. She buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and gradually calmed down.

The next day, Cheng Yunchuan brought Jiang Mubai to the lawyer's residence. The police had cordoned off the scene, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The lawyer's body was lying on the floor of the living room, and his death was tragic.

Jiang Mubai's stomach churned when she saw this scene, and she almost vomited. Cheng Yunchuan quickly supported her and took her away from the scene.

"How could this happen..." Jiang Mubai said with a pale face and a trembling voice.

Cheng Yunchuan's face was terribly gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes flashed with coldness. "Someone doesn't want us to know the truth."

In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan used all his connections and resources to investigate the cause of the lawyer's death and the secret between Lu Jingshen and Sophie. He was like an enraged lion, not letting go of any clues.

At the same time, Jiang Mubai also fell into deep fear and anxiety. She didn't dare to go out, answer the phone, or even stay at home alone. She always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her in the dark, and she might be swallowed at any time.

Cheng Yunchuan saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He was even more determined to protect Jiang Mubai and find out the mastermind behind it and bring him to justice.

One night, Cheng Yunchuan came home and saw Jiang Mubai curled up on the sofa, her face pale and her eyes empty. He hugged her in his arms and stroked her hair gently.

"Don't be afraid, I found some clues." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and firm, "I know who is behind this."

Jiang Mubai raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. "Who is it?"

Cheng Yunchuan's mouth curled up into a cold smile, "Yes..." He paused, his eyes became even colder, "It's your good sister, Jiang Xinyu."

Jiang Mubai was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't believe her ears. She had always regarded Jiang Xinyu as her own sister. How could she possibly hurt herself?

"Impossible..." Jiang Mubai muttered to himself, "Xinyu won't..."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai's incredulous expression, his heart filled with helplessness and pain. He took out his phone and played a recording. In the recording, Jiang Xinyu's voice came clearly. She was conspiring with a man on how to frame Jiang Mubai and Lu Jingshen...

Jiang Mubai listened to the recording, her face became paler and paler, and her body began to tremble. She couldn't believe that her most trusted sister had been deceiving her and even wanted to kill her!

After the recording was finished, the room fell into a dead silence. Jiang Mubai's tears flowed silently, and she felt as if her heart was torn apart, and she was in excruciating pain.

Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Don't cry, I will seek justice for you..."

At this moment, a quick doorbell rang, breaking the silence in the room. Cheng Yunchuan stood up to open the door. Two policemen stood outside the door. They said to Cheng Yunchuan in a serious tone, "Mr. Cheng, we have received a report that you are suspected of a murder case. Please come with us."

Cheng Yunchuan's face suddenly turned gloomy. He glanced at Jiang Mubai behind him, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes...

After Cheng Yunchuan was taken away, Jiang Mubai collapsed on the sofa. The room was dead silent, with only her rapid breathing echoing. She tightly grasped the phone, her knuckles turned white, and the police's cold words replayed in her mind over and over again: "Suspected of murder." Cheng Yunchuan, the gentle and considerate man, the man who gave her support when she was most helpless, how could he kill someone?

She called Cheng Yunchuan's agent as if she was grasping at a lifeline. On the other end of the line, agent David's voice was full of shock: "Yunchuan... How could he..." David's panic made Jiang Mubai even more uncertain. In the end, David did not provide any substantial help except expressing shock and saying he would do his best to help. He was evasive, revealing his "ignorance" of Cheng Yunchuan's private life.

Despair surged like a tide, and Jiang Mubai could hardly breathe. She stumbled to the window. The hustle and bustle outside was in stark contrast to her loneliness at the moment. She remembered Cheng Yunchuan saying that Jiang Xinyu was the mastermind behind the incident. Could it be... really her?

Jiang Mubai gritted his teeth and dialed Jiang Xinyu's number. The moment the call was connected, Jiang Xinyu's voice was as sweet as usual: "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?" This hypocritical concern made Jiang Mubai's stomach churn.

"Xinyu," Jiang Mubai tried to control his emotions, "The lawyer is dead, and Yunchuan has been taken away by the police. Do you know anything?"
