Chapter 18 : Case Closed
In the book “The Fake Rich Lady Has Boundless Glory,” no matter what difficulties the character Yu Wan faced, there would always be someone helping her.
Those who had helped Yu Wan before were either her family and friends who had grown up with her, or her admirers.
However, there were also some people who did not like Yu Wan and did not have much contact with her who still helped her unconditionally. When Yu Yao was reading the book, she had felt that these interactions were completely illogical. However, her colleagues said that this was the effect of the protagonist’s halo, and there was no need to overthink it.
The director of the mental hospital was a person who had been influenced by Yu Wan’s protagonist aura just by seeing her once and he had provided her with unconditional help.
If Yu Yao’s tragic life had started in that mental hospital, then the conspiracy between Yu Wan and the director of the mental hospital was the cause of all the tragedy.
That was why Yu Yao couldn’t help but ask about the relationship between Yu Wan and the director.
However, she did not know that just this sentence made Yu Wan’s heart constrict and her entire body tense up.
What did Yu Yao mean by that? Did she know of the real relationship between her and the director of the mental hospital? Had her uncle accidentally said something that Yu Yao had overheard?
Yu Wan felt as if she could hear her own rapid heartbeat. Luckily, Yu Yao had only spoken casually and did not have any concrete evidence. She squeezed her palm to calm herself down.
Yu Wan’s tone revealed a trace of panic that was hard to ignore. “Sister, you’re thinking too much. How would I know that kind of person?”
“Just consider me to be speculating.” Yu Yao shrugged indifferently. “Blame it on your suspicious actions, I guess? You can’t blame me for this.”
Yu Wan forced a smile. “Of course not.”
Until the end of the family meeting, Yu Wan did not say another word. She thought that she had perfectly survived the crisis, but she did not know that all her reactions had been silently remembered by everyone.
Yu Wan cut off all contact with the mental hospital. She had discussed with her uncle previously that if anything happened, he would not expose her.
Through his work connections, Yu Heng handed the evidence regarding the mental hospital to the Special Case Department. The higher-ups consolidated and analyzed the incident and created a task force to distribute a plan to the Public Security Department, the Internet Safety Department, and the Discipline Inspection Department.
At this time, the task force was still conducting a deeper investigation into the mental hospital. Not only did they want to bring these people in charge of the mental hospital to justice, they also wanted to understand the entire industrial chain of human organ harvesting and the people behind it.
The Yu family’s investment in the mental hospital had also gone through several rounds of investigations.
Yu Heng’s work was slightly affected. The project he was working on was called off. After handing over his work, the research institute gave him a long vacation.
In the past, Yu Heng might have been angry that his research had been interrupted. But now, he was glad that he had time to go home and return to his biological sister’s side to make up for his mistakes in his past life.
Although Yu Heng and the other two brothers were in the same state and wanted to repair their relationship with Yu Yao as soon as possible, they also understood that being impatient wouldn’t bring them success. Facing Yu Yao, who had always been wary of them, they could only slowly approach her in a way that wouldn’t disgust her.
After a discussion, the three brothers decided on a basic plan of attack regarding Yu Yao. Yu Lang and Yu Heng voted to reject Yu Jue’s suggestion to throw all their passion at Yu Yao.
They believed that their sudden change in attitude towards Yu Yao would only arouse her suspicions and push her further and further away. Only by finding a way to make her life and studies interrelate with their own lives could they slowly gain her approval.
Yu Lang said, “Yaoyao is very concerned about the case at the mental hospital. I’ll talk to her about the progress of the case in time. Yaoyao won’t avoid talking about it.”
Yu Heng had his own way too. “The research institute gave me a long vacation. I can accept Yaoyao’s invitation to go to their university as a visiting professor for a few months.”
Yu Jue was so anxious that he messed up his hair. “What should I do? I’m just a good-for-nothing celebrity. My work has no way of connecting with Yaoyao! Eldest Brother, Second Brother, quickly help me think of something!”
Yu Lang and Yu Heng ignored his plea for help.
The case in the mental hospital was handed over to the relevant departments and temporarily closed.
Yu Lang found an opportunity to talk to Yu Yao about her studies. Located in City B, Yu Yao’s university wasn’t bad, it was actually one of the top universities in the country. However, when she first applied for a college, she chose a relatively useless major—environmental engineering.
Yu Lang didn’t think that this major would be of any substantial help to Yu Yao’s future, but he had already learned to respect Yu Yao’s choices.. Thus, he didn’t reject her specialization and instead asked for her opinion.
