The group went to a Western restaurant not far from the kindergarten.
The little girl usually just passes by, but today she can sit here and eat Western food. She is incredibly excited, and her small eyes are shining with bright colors as she looks at the food.
Since Li Hao still had tasks to perform, they only ordered Western food and didn’t ask for wine.
Xue Xiangtong taught the little girl how to cut steak, while Yang Zhi was sitting there as if on pins and needles.
Mu Anhan elegantly ate her steak and reassured Yang Zhi to eat comfortably as well.
Li Hao had been a police officer for a long time, naturally possessing an aura of authority. Even when he wasn’t speaking, Yang Zhi dared not say or do anything while he sat there.
After finishing the steak, Mu Anhan looked at him: "Captain Li, are you going out for a cigarette?"
"I..." Li Hao was about to say how could he leave, but then quickly understood her intention, "Sorry, I’m really craving a smoke! The restaurant has a strict no-smoking policy, so I’ll step outside for a moment!"
Once he left, Yang Zhi seemed to relax a little.
"Little sister, let me take you to wash your hands!" Xue Xiangtong said.
Now, the room only had Mu Anhan and Yang Zhi.
"I have a pair of children," Mu Anhan said softly, "They are always inseparable, and I once wondered what could separate them? Besides me and their father getting divorced, besides them falling ill..."
Yang Zhi’s eyes instantly turned red, revealing that she was a simple traditional woman.
Mu Anhan’s opening successfully broke into Yang Zhi’s heart.
She took out a photo, "These are a brother and sister who checked into the Ice City Hotel. They didn’t get out in time during the fire and are still in the ICU, whether they’ll wake up is unknown, and even if they do, whether there will be any after-effects is also unknown..."
Yang Zhi immediately started crying, "Sorry... truly sorry..."
Seeing her in a state of breakdown, crying uncontrollably, Mu Anhan handed her some tissues.
"Why are you saying sorry?" Mu Anhan stared at her.
"It’s my ex-husband’s doing. His mind became twisted because our son fell ill, leading him down the path of crime," Yang Zhi said, choking back tears as she wiped her eyes.
Mu Anhan leaned back in her chair, "How do you know it’s him?"
Yang Zhi was bewildered, "You came to find me, you must know it’s him, otherwise why approach me?"
Mu Anhan sighed softly, "We never mentioned your ex-husband nor his relation to the fire case since we arrived; you brought it up yourself. Yang Zhi, you know very well that he did it not out of revenge against society, but because he received a large sum of money. That money can save your son, right? It can also leave you with something to raise your daughter! So you can confidently use your daughter for a bone marrow transplant for your son."
Yang Zhi’s eyes widened greatly, after a brief mental blankness, she quickly shook her head, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, I never received any money, if you don’t believe me, you can check my bank account, we haven’t received any money..."
Li Hao had also entered the room, pressing his hand on the table, "Yang Zhi, this incident has such a big impact; arson as revenge against society and deliberately setting fires after receiving money are different concepts. If you took the money and didn’t report it, you’re covering up the crime, which means you’ll face the same charges. Chen Mo’s body can’t endure much longer, and if you commit a crime too, what about your son? What about your smart and healthy daughter?"
