Chapter 143 Thanks to your good son
Lin Qingran opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say to comfort him.
Bo Ye gave her a deep look, then silently turned and left. His lonely figure made Lin Qingran feel a pang of heartache.
After a long while, Lin Qingran sighed and followed after her, gently comforting her.
"Susukino, don't be sad. You're not the helpless little kid you used to be."
Bo Ye remained silent, so Lin Qingran had no choice but to shut her mouth as well.
The two were so focused on walking forward with their heads down that they suddenly bumped into a policeman coming from the opposite direction.
Lin Qingran and Bo Ye panicked and apologized repeatedly. When they looked up, they found that it was an acquaintance, the police officer handling the missing persons case.
"It's alright, it's alright. Just be careful while you're walking." The policeman waved his hand. "By the way, Zhou Lan is also hospitalized here."
"How...is she?" Lin Qingran asked after a moment of silence.
The police officer said gravely, “Zhou Lan has completely lost her mind and her emotions are completely out of control. She’s smashing things all over the ward, and no one can stop her. Medical staff tried to stop her, and some of them were injured by her.”
Susukino murmured in disbelief, "How could this happen? It wasn't this serious before."
The police officer sighed. "She probably had a mental breakdown due to too much psychological pressure. The ward is a mess right now, and she's still screaming incessantly. It's a very chaotic scene. We're trying to control her to prevent any more serious consequences."
Lin Qingran frowned. "How are the injured medical staff?"
The policeman shook his head. "Several people were seriously injured and have been sent for treatment."
As they listened, their hearts grew heavier, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on them.
After much hesitation, Lin Qingran decided to go and take a look.
But as soon as she reached Zhou Lan's ward, she heard a series of noisy sounds coming from inside, including Zhou Lan's frantic screams and the sound of things being smashed.
She took a deep breath and stood in front of the glass window.
The scene before her made her gasp. Zhou Lan was disheveled, her eyes were wild, she was waving a broken vase in her hand, and she was muttering to herself.
The floor was littered with shards of glass and torn bedding, a complete mess.
Zhou Lan suddenly saw Lin Qingran outside the ward. A strange look flashed in her previously frantic eyes, and she rushed out without regard for anything else.
Lin Qingran was stunned by this sudden situation and stood there dumbfounded, her mind blank.
At this critical moment, the police reacted quickly, stepping in front of Lin Qingran and protecting her tightly behind them.
Zhou Lan waved her hands frantically, trying to break through the police's line of defense, while making incoherent shouts.
"Lin Qingran! Lin Qingran!"
The police officer shouted at Zhou Lan to stop while using his body to firmly block her attack.
Other police officers quickly arrived to provide support and together they subdued Zhou Lan.
Even as she was being held down, Zhou Lan continued to cry and laugh, her voice shrill as she screamed.
"Lin Qingran, I should never have given birth to you!"
Lin Qingran's body, which had been trembling with fear, froze instantly, and her expression turned utterly cold.
She looked directly at Zhou Lan and coldly retorted.
"Haven't you always liked your adopted daughter, Lin Yuyan? In your heart, I've never been important, have I?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lan was first taken aback, then burst into even more maniacal laughter, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine.
Lin Qingran bit her lip tightly, and everyone around her remained silent.
Zhou Lan laughed maniacally for a while, then suddenly said...
"I've known for a long time that Lin Yuyan isn't my biological daughter."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran was so shocked that her eyes widened and she stood there dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
Her mind flashed back to all the suffering she had endured while she was away from home—those days and nights of hunger and thirst, those moments of being wantonly bullied—like sharp blades, mercilessly piercing her heart.
Her voice trembled, filled with endless grief and indignation as she spoke.
"Since you already knew, why did you still bring me back?"
Zhou Lan just looked at her coldly, without the slightest guilt or pity in her eyes.
Looking at Zhou Lan's cold and ruthless face, Lin Qingran finally understood that Zhou Lan was a completely selfish person.
She chuckled self-deprecatingly and muttered to herself.
"It turns out that the maternal love I had been longing for all these years was nothing but an empty promise. I was so foolish back then."
The police officer approached and gently persuaded Lin Qingran to leave.
"Miss Jiang, the situation here is not very stable. You should leave first, so you don't get hurt."
Lin Qingran nodded blankly, her eyes vacant, and slowly turned around.
She mechanically took steps to leave, but just then, Zhou Lan suddenly broke free and rushed up, shouting wildly.
"Haven't you noticed yet? Lin Yuyan is gone!"
Lin Qingran and the police turned around in shock, only to see Zhou Lan's face contorted and her eyes bloodshot.
She continued to scream at the top of her lungs, "Yu Yan will not let you get away with this, absolutely not!"
Lin Qingran's heart skipped a beat, and the police quickly restrained Zhou Lan again.
Lin Qingran stared blankly at Zhou Lan, her mind filled with questions.
Lin Yuyan has disappeared? Why does Zhou Lan believe that Lin Yuyan won't let her go?
Lin Qingran and the police officer exchanged a glance, and suddenly they both understood something.
Got it!
The Lin Yuyan they've been searching for these past few days might not have disappeared or been murdered, but rather escaped!
The police officer anxiously asked, "Where did Lin Yuyan go?"
Zhou Lan ignored the police and stared intently at Lin Qingran, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
"It's all thanks to your good son!"
Lin Qingran was shocked. "What are you talking about? My son? What does this have to do with him!"
Zhou Lan burst into wild laughter, "You should ask your precious son about these things!"
Seeing that Zhou Lan was becoming increasingly agitated, the police shouted at her.
"Calm down and explain things clearly!"
But Zhou Lan just stared at Lin Qingran, her resentful eyes seeming to want to devour her alive.
Lin Qingran pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something.
Lin Yuyan's disappearance may be the work of Fu Xingze!
Zhou Lan is clearly insane, yet she can still say these things; this is definitely not baseless.
Lin Qingran was shocked. Her doubts and worries made her unable to stay in the hospital for even a second longer.
She didn't have time to think and hurriedly left the hospital.
Lin Qingran found Bo Ye, and without bothering to explain too much to him, she grabbed him and headed straight for the hotel where Fu Xiuheng was.
Lin Qingran was on edge the whole way, and her steps were even more hurried after she got off the car.
Bo Ye was completely confused by her, but seeing how anxious she was, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and followed closely behind.
Lin Qingran, panting heavily, rushed straight into the hotel before she could catch her breath.
She had to go see Fu Xingze and ask him what he had done!
