Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 225 Breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly
Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and tried to calm her flustered emotions. She knew that now was not the time to be sad, and the children still needed her. She wiped away her tears and her eyes gradually became firm. "Doctor Ye, Doctor Lin, I know where to find evidence."
"Where?" Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin asked in unison, with a hint of hope in their tone.
"The man behind Zhao Qian has been trying to buy our ancestral home. I suspect they want to harm it." Chu Mengmeng paused and continued, "I remember Grandpa once said that there are some important documents hidden in the ancestral home. Maybe those documents contain the evidence we need."
Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly, giving her strength, "Mengmeng, I'll go with you."
Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin looked at each other and expressed their willingness to go together. They knew that this was a race against time and they had to find evidence as soon as possible to protect Chu Mengmeng and the children.
The next morning, under the arrangement of Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen quietly left the town with the twins and headed for the Chu family's ancestral home. The ancestral home was located deep in the mountains and had been uninhabited for many years, making it particularly desolate.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a damp smell hit them in the face. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen walked into the ancestral house cautiously and began to search carefully. Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin were responsible for taking care of the twins and paying attention to the movements around them.
Time passed by, and just when everyone was about to give up hope, Chu Mengmeng suddenly found a secret compartment behind a painting in the study. When she opened the secret compartment, she found a wooden box filled with yellowed papers.
"These should be the documents grandpa mentioned." Chu Mengmeng said excitedly.
Xiao Yichen took the documents and read them carefully. These documents recorded some business dealings of the ancestors of the Chu family, including records about the mysterious investor behind Zhao Qian.
"Found it!" Xiao Yichen pointed at one of the documents and said excitedly, "This document records that this investor was once involved in a case of smuggling cultural relics, and there is also evidence of his signature!"
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were ecstatic. They knew that as long as they handed the document to the police, they could bring Zhao Qian to justice and completely get rid of his threat.
However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, followed by a cold voice outside the door: "It seems that you have found what you want."
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in their hearts...
At the same time, the twins met a few friends of the same age while playing in the backyard. The parents of these friends seemed to know everything that happened in the town, and they looked at the twins with a hint of complicated emotions...
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in their hearts. They quickly hid the documents and looked outside the door vigilantly. They saw a man in black clothes and sunglasses walked in, followed by several ferocious bodyguards.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Xiao Yichen protected Chu Mengmeng behind him and asked in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that we want what you have in your hands." The man in black sneered, staring greedily at the wooden box in Chu Mengmeng's hand.
"Don't even think about it!" Chu Mengmeng stared back at him fearlessly, "These things are ours, no one can take them away!"
The man in black snorted coldly and waved his hand. The bodyguards behind him immediately approached Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen protected Chu Mengmeng behind him and fought with the bodyguards.
Meanwhile, the twins met some friends of the same age while playing in the backyard. The parents of these friends seemed to know everything that happened in the town.
"Are you new here? I heard that your parents got into big trouble." A little girl leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear and whispered.
"What trouble?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
"It's that investor. I heard he's very powerful. If your parents offend him, they'll be in trouble." Another little boy interrupted.
"What should we do then?" Xiao Yao asked worriedly.
"My dad said that as long as we find evidence that he has violated the law, we can bring him to justice," the little girl said. "My dad also said that he knows some inside information and can help you."
Hearing this, the twins' eyes lit up and they immediately asked the little girl who her father was. The little girl pointed to a middle-aged man who was trimming flowers and plants not far away and said, "That's my father."
The twins immediately ran over and told the middle-aged man what they had heard. After listening, the middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "I know about this matter. I can help you, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone that I told you."
The twins nodded in agreement. The middle-aged man then told them what he knew. It turned out that the middle-aged man was once an employee of the investor's company. He resigned from the company because he could not stand what the investor did. He knew a lot of illegal and disorderly things that the investor had done, and he also had some evidence.
The twins told Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen what the middle-aged man had told them. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were overjoyed after hearing it. They had never thought that the twins could find such an important clue.
With the help of the middle-aged man, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen collected more evidence of the investor's crimes. However, the investor was not a pushover. He realized that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were investigating him, so he sent people to track and attack them.
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen encountered many obstructions and attacks from investors in the process of collecting evidence, but they never gave up. They knew that only by bringing the investors to justice could they protect themselves and their children. Just when they were about to give up, Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin appeared.
"It seems that we need to make a quick decision." Doctor Ye looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes became sharp. He took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Chu Mengmeng, "The things in it may be able to help you..."
Chu Mengmeng took the porcelain bottle, and a faint fragrance came to her nose. She looked at Doctor Ye in confusion: "Doctor Ye, what is this?"
Doctor Ye stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "This is a specially made incense that can help you at a critical moment. Remember, use it with caution."
Doctor Lin also stepped forward, held Chu Mengmeng's hand, and said firmly: "Mengmeng, don't be afraid. Doctor Ye and I have contacted our friends in the city. They will provide you with legal assistance and will also secretly investigate the details of the investor."
It turns out that Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin have been in the martial arts world for many years and have made many friends, including some who have made great achievements in the fields of law and business. After learning about Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's experience, they were filled with righteous indignation and decided to use their connections to fight for the justice they deserved.
After receiving the promise from Dr. Ye and Dr. Lin, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen felt a glimmer of hope. They knew that they were no longer fighting alone in this battle, and that the power of justice was behind them.
However, the mysterious investor was no ordinary person. He was keenly aware of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's actions and began to strengthen their surveillance and suppression. The atmosphere in the town became more and more tense, and an invisible pressure enveloped everyone's heart.
"Boss, the business in our store has been getting worse and worse recently. Many old customers don't come anymore. Is that right..." Xiao Yichen's clerk Xiao Li hesitated to speak, his eyes full of worry.
Xiao Yichen naturally understood what Xiao Li meant. Ever since they offended the investor, all kinds of rumors unfavorable to them began to spread in the town, causing the store's business to plummet.
"I understand. Don't worry. I will find a way to solve it." Xiao Yichen patted Xiao Li's shoulder and said in a relaxed manner.
However, Xiao Yichen felt very heavy in his heart. He knew that this was just the calm before the storm and greater challenges were still to come.
Just when Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were struggling to find a way out, by chance, they discovered a shocking secret...
"This... How is this possible?!" Chu Mengmeng looked at the document in her hand, her face instantly turned pale, and after seeing the contents of the document, Xiao Yichen's originally furrowed brows also relaxed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that we have found his fatal handle..."
Chu Mengmeng accidentally discovered a secret compartment when she was sorting out the old things she brought back from the old house. In the secret compartment lay a yellowed diary with no marks on the cover. Chu Mengmeng curiously opened it and saw the beautiful handwriting. The owner of the diary turned out to be the deceased old lady who was considered a lunatic!
In the diary, the old lady recorded in detail the whole process of how she met and fell in love with the mysterious investor, but was eventually deceived and betrayed by him, and even caused the family business to go bankrupt. Even more shocking is that the old lady also recorded evidence of the investor using illegal means to make money, bribe officials, and conduct some unknown secret transactions.
"So... the truth is like this!" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth, unable to suppress her inner shock and anger. She finally understood that the old lady was not really crazy back then, but was forced to do so, and finally chose to use this method to protect herself and hide the secret.
Xiao Yichen rushed over after hearing the noise, and his face became serious after seeing the contents of the diary. "It seems that God is helping us," he took Chu Mengmeng into his arms and gently stroked her back, "Mengmeng, we finally found his fatal weakness."
The content of the diary is undoubtedly a bombshell, which uncovers the hypocritical mask of the mysterious investor and exposes his greedy and vicious true face. More importantly, the evidence recorded in the diary is enough to send him to prison and make him pay the price for his actions.
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen knew that it was not easy to defeat this opponent, so they had to act cautiously to ensure that nothing could go wrong. They carefully sorted out the contents of the diary and contacted Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin, asking them for legal and business assistance.
"Mengmeng, don't worry, we will do our best to help you and Boss Xiao." Doctor Lin held Chu Mengmeng's hand with a firm look in his eyes, "We will definitely bring that bad guy to justice!"
In the dead of night, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen sat side by side in front of the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside, their hearts filled with hope and determination. They knew that dawn was coming, and they would also break out of their cocoons and become butterflies, welcoming their bright future.
"Mengmeng," Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly, "We..."
