Zhou Anguo looked at Jiang Tong in silence. He still did not believe Jiang Tong’s words, but this matter was very serious. What if it was true? If Dong Yuan was still alive, he would be in his thirties. Dong Yuan was the son of the most important figure in the Dong family! This matter was very serious. Zhou Anguo had no choice but to ask a few more questions. “What about Shao Ying’s motive?” Shao Ying definitely must have had a motive for killing him. She wouldn’t kill people for no reason.
“Motive?” Jiang Tong answered with a smile, “For a man.”
A man? Zhou Anguo’s frown deepened. Shao Ying was a woman, and Dong Yuan was a man. Why would the two of them have a conflict over a man, and even kill people?
Seeing Zhou Anguo’s expression, Jiang Tong asked with a smile, “Do you know Li Muyu?”
Zhou Anguo’s frown deepened. He nodded and replied concisely, “I know.” He did not want to talk much about Li Muyu because he knew that Li Muyu was Shao Ying’s man. Moreover, he was not just Shao Ying’s former boyfriend. Li Muyu even got Shao Ying pregnant and she gave birth to a child willingly. She gave birth to a daughter! Zhou Anguo was clear about Shao Ying’s previous pregnancy and the fact that she had an illegitimate daughter. However, this would not affect the marriage between the two families. In the face of benefits, these were all trivial matters. This kind of thing was not common in large families, but it was not that rare either. Zhou Anguo also had a lover outside, but he did not have an illegitimate child.
“It was because of Li Muyu that Shao Ying murdered Dong Yuan,” Jiang Tong said affirmatively.
“How could the three of them…” Zhou Anguo still found it unbelievable. He had never heard of Dong Yuan having a different sexual orientation. Regarding Li Muyu’s matter, Zhou Anguo specially investigated it. He knew that Li Muyu, Dong Yuan, and Shao Ying were from the same high school. It was said that Li Muyu was the most eligible bachelor in school back then, and he had many suitors.
“It wasn’t a love triangle,” Jiang Tong said with a faint smile, “At that time, Li Muyu was very popular in high school, and there were many girls who pursued him. The girls who pursued him even said that they wanted a fair competition, and no one was allowed to act recklessly. At that time, Shao Ying was in her first year of high school, Li Muyu was in his second year of high school, and Dong Yuan was in his third year of high school. Dong Yuan was a very talented person, and his grades were very good while he was in school. He was a senior in his third year of high school, and he was a popular figure in the school. Li Muyu and Dong Yuan were both members of the student union, so they had more contact and gradually became friends. Later, when Dong Yuan found out that Shao Ying was pursuing Li Muyu, he said a couple of things to Li Muyu and told him to stay away from Shao Ying. He said that Shao Ying was not a good person, so… Dong Yuan died in the end.”
After Zhou Anguo heard that, he still felt that something was not right. “Shao Ying killed Dong Yuan just because Dong Yuan gave Li Muyu a piece of advice? This is too ridiculous! You said so much, but do you have any evidence? The truth is not a novel, and you can’t make things up. You…”
“I have to emphasize one thing first. It’s not just because Dong Yuan reminded Li Muyu and said a few bad things about Shao Ying,” Jiang Tong interrupted Zhou Anguo. She said in a deep voice, “Shao Ying wanted to get Li Muyu. She’s a very stubborn woman. She must get the man she likes. That’s why she asked Li Muyu out on the day of the murder. Li Muyu saw Shao Ying kill with his own eyes! He followed Shao Ying because he was afraid and didn’t dare to resist! Li Muyu is the only witness to Shao Ying’s murder!”
Zhou Anguo’s expression changed. He pondered silently for a while and said to Jiang Tong, “Even if what you said is true, so what? Li Muyu has been with Shao Ying for more than ten years. Both of them have a child together. It’s impossible for him to testify.”
“Who said that Li Muyu can’t come out and testify? He hates Shao Ying! It was Shao Ying who ruined his life!” Jiang Tong grinned. “I’ve already contacted Li Muyu.” Li Muyu, it was the ‘Muyu’ that Jiang Tong had contacted in the exchange group of the Kyoto Art Forum!
“Huh?” Zhou Anguo was stunned. Then, his expression changed drastically. He suddenly stood up and looked at Jiang Tong. “What do you plan to do?!” Zhou Anguo’s reaction was very big. In fact, he still did not believe Jiang Tong’s words. Even though Jiang Tong had spoken about this, the truth of the matter still had to be verified. However, this kind of matter would rather be believed than not! This matter was too big!
Jiang Tong had already expressed her intentions very clearly. She said that Li Muyu was a witness. Li Muyu still hated Shao Ying. She even said that she had contacted Li Muyu. All kinds of signs indicated that Jiang Tong wanted to mess with Shao Ying! From Zhou Anguo’s standpoint, he absolutely could not let Jiang Tong do this. The Zhou and Shao families had already decided to form an alliance many years ago, and they had already joined forces in many fields.
