Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You-Chapter 256 - Ye Kun was probably not his real name.

Mu Chenyan passed her identification card to the police officer before he passed her the suicide note in exchange.

The suicide note was actually written on the back of a very long printed receipt. Zhao Yanni’s handwriting was clear and beautiful while the concise contents of her note read:

“Miss Mu, please return to the major crimes department and explain to them on my behalf that I’m the sole culprit behind the poisoning case at Zong He. It has nothing to do with anyone else!

“I originally wanted to harm only one person. However, when I ate my medicine that day and fell ill, I apparently put the poison into the whole pot of food and caused many innocent people to be dragged into this. I deserve to die as punishment for my sins!

“Also, please don’t forget the things that I’ve entrusted to you…”

…

Mu Chenyan’s entire body was shivering as she finished reading the note.

Zhao Yanni had protected her daughter with her own life…

Although Zhao Yanni did not mention the person whom she wanted to harm, Mu Chenyan felt that it was already unimportant.

Zhao Yanni did not bear any strong grudges towards anyone in Zong He. Hence, her actions were definitely instigated by someone else.

The conclusion would already be extremely obvious even without her having to commit suicide. Who else would she be willing to defend by sacrificing her own life?

Mu Chenyan’s heart felt stifled. She turned around and said to Yuan Xuan, “Is it alright if I return to the major crimes department for awhile?”

At this point, the Zong He was considered to be a dud.

Moreover, Zhao Yanni’s suicide note could also be considered as a conclusion. Mu Chenyan wanted to go and inform Wu Huai immediately.

Yuan Xuan had not seen the contents of the suicide note but there was a look in his dark pupils which implied that he clearly understood it as well.

“Go then. I’ll stay here and deal with this.” As he spoke, Yuan Xuan turned around and looked at the pale-faced Zhao Ruoxin. “Ruoxin, perhaps you should return to the mansion. Once the issues here are resolved, I’ll take your mother’s remains back for the funeral arrangements.”

Zhao Ruoxin was still reluctant. She glared angrily at Mu Chenyan and gnashed her teeth together. Zhao Ruoxin understood quite a bit in her heart when she heard Mu Chenyan mention the major crimes department earlier. Zhao Yanni was definitely bearing the brunt of everything on her shoulders when she chose to commit suicide. It seemed like Zhao Yanni had not mentioned the thing that she feared the most.

Zhao Ruoxin let out a drawn-out sigh of relief.

Zhao Ruoxin had previously concealed some of her hatred towards Mu Chenyan but she had no plans of doing that now.

This was particularly apparent when she saw how Yuan Xuan treated Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan’s name was simply a nightmare in her mind.

“Mu Chenyan, you said that this incident has no connection to you but I don’t believe that at all! Not only did you harm my mother but you have caused me even greater harm…”

Zhao Ruoxin miserably glanced at Yuan Xuan as she spoke.

Yuan Xuan’s expression darkened but his thoughts were so well-hidden that other people were unable to obtain any information from just looking at his face.

Mu Chenyan laughed bitterly at what Zhao Ruoxin had said. Her gaze was cold as she indifferently remarked, “You should know the person who caused your mother’s death better than me!”

Zhao Ruoxin froze. A hint of panic flashed across her eyes before her heart rate that had only just calmed down now leaped up again instantly.

“Mu Chenyan, what do you know?”

Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with Zhao Ruoxin because her mother had recently died. She simply said, “Zhao Yanni and I have never spoken to each other before!”

Zhao Ruoxin was speechless.

Mu Chenyan glanced at Zhao Ruoxin with a meaningful gaze before she left.

…

Yuan Xuan sent Yan Jun over to handle the following matters while he drove to the military hospital headquarters instead.

Yuan Tangshuo had dispatched his staff to wait for Yuan Xuan at the entrance immediately after he had received a phone call from him.

Yuan Xuan had a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw Yuan Tangshuo, he flatly asked, “Third Uncle, how is Ye Kun?”

Yuan Tangshuo had never fully understood his nephew. Ye Kun was already at death’s door when he was sent here. However, Yuan Xuan never told his Third Uncle of this man’s identity but had only asked him to protect his life.

Aside from being poisoned, Ye Kun had also suffered a severe psychological impediment.

He would only speak when Yuan Xuan visited him while other people could not even dream of prying his mouth open.

Yuan Xuan would come and visit this man with a mysterious identity every few days.

Yuan Tangshuo readjusted his glasses. He walked with Yuan Xuan towards the recovering ward. “He’ll need at least two more months to be restored to the normal physiological standard. Since he’s already formed a resistance towards benzodiazepines and pyridoxine, for the time being, we’ll discuss this again at a later point when we see his reactions after we take him off these drugs.”

Yuan Xuan did not understand the technical aspects but he trusted in Yuan Tangshuo fully. “Third Uncle, you can just go ahead and proceed according to your treatment plan.”

“Yuan Xuan, I suggest that he continues with his therapy once he’s discharged from the hospital. We’re unable to assist you in the psychological aspects but there are different specialists for each field,” Yuan Tangshuo added.

Yuan Xuan nodded. “I’m aware of this. If this poisoning case had not happened, I was initially planning to take him to Taiwan for a psychological consultation.”

Yuan Tangshuo became even more curious when he saw how much Yuan Xuan cared about this man.

“Yuan Xuan, can you tell me his real identity? I was thinking that Ye Kun probably isn’t his real name, right?”

Yuan Tangshuo had been calm and composed all along. It was not as though he was unaware of the secret scramble for power that was going on throughout the entire Yuan Family. Rather, he preferred immersing himself in his research. Thus, he minded his own business and made sure that his son and daughter did the same because he did not want to become involved in this.

Yuan Tangshuo took on the reins of supporting and sheltering his Big Brother’s orphaned son. Yuan Xuan had been close to him when he was younger. However, it became harder for him to understand his nephew as he grew older.

Yuan Xuan looked at his uncle with cold eyes. He spoke in a deep voice, “You’re right, uncle. That isn’t his real name. Father gave him this name in the past.”

Yuan Tangshuo was shocked. “Big Brother?”

Very few people would voluntarily mention Yuan Tangbai in front of Yuan Xuan.

Yuan Xuan faintly nodded.

Losing his father at a young age allowed the young prodigy named Yuan Xuan to mature early on. His thoughts were so meticulous that he was considered to be nearly inhuman while his style of completing tasks was to always decide and act on his own. Yuan Tangshuo was not hoping that Yuan Xuan would tell him the exact details but he was shocked when he heard that there was a connection between Ye Kun and his Big Brother.

Not only were there nurses in Ye Kun’s intensive care ward every day but Yuan Xuan had also sent two of his most trusted aides to guard him.

The Zong He incident was a lesson. Yuan Xuan was willing to pay the price for his mistakes but Ye Kun only had one life.

Yuan Xuan turned to his Third Uncle and said, “I’ll go in by myself. Third Uncle, you can get back to work.”

Yuan Tangshuo nodded. This unique patient had never said a single word to anyone even when he was in pain. He could tell that he only trusted Yuan Xuan.

The in-patient ward that was specially set up for this man was three times as big as a normal ward. It even had its own toilet and washroom, as well as a separate little kitchen.

The nurse was busy cooking millet and pumpkin porridge for Ye Kun in the kitchen.

This tall and muscular man had been unable to eat anything when he was first admitted into the hospital due to his intense spasms and because he had gotten his stomach pumped. He was 180cm tall but only weighed 60kg. Both of his eyes were also swollen. During the following month of treatment, millet porridge became the main thing that he ate.

Ye Kun’s eyes were closed as he sat on a chair in the corner of the balcony.

Whether there were other people were present or not, he would look like this every time, as if he has entered his own world.

Although the sound of pots and pans crashing together could be heard coming from the kitchen where his young carer was busying herself, it did not disturb his meditating state at all.

Fourteen years ago, the seriously injured Ye Kun was rescued by the young Yuan Xuan in Luo Hai’s North Hill Enclosure. Yuan Xuan was only 15 years old then.

When Mu Feng brought Mu Chenyan back to Luo Hai one month later, Mu Chenyan was only 10 years old…
