Chapter 122 Confirming

"I want to confirm something." After Mingmei and Mu Chen left the Law Enforcer's shop, Mingmei voiced her suspicion on the way back. "That girl, was that story about her and Daisy's father true or false? If it were true, the teacher wouldn't have written it off so lightly in the school records. And, judging by Bai Xiao's role, they would have at least called the police."

"Called the police… so the matter blew up. But after it blew up, there was no evidence to prove that he actually did it, so the school directly expelled him with that kind of reason."

Mu Chen followed Mingmei's assumption and overturned her previous hypothesis.

"Then… it's false?"

Mingmei thought of the posts on the school's intranet. Judging from the number of posts and activity, there were probably a lot of people in the school using it.

If this kind of rumor were spread, the other party would be unable to defend themselves. If they couldn't think straight, they might do something stupid.

"Then why… why did Daisy's father return to the school after being expelled, and then die there?"

Mingmei was once again confused.

"Is there a possibility…"

Mu Chen cleared his throat and said his opinion, "That child did have an unclear relationship with a certain elder, but it wasn't Daisy's father. And he actually found out about it, and brought someone to take revenge that night."

"You mean…" Mingmei was startled by Mu Chen's assumption, staring into his eyes and asking, "Do you have any evidence?"

"When I went to the hospital to deliver milk, I went to the records room and found Yuan Fang's medical record. A year ago, a sudden illness, severe burns on all four limbs, and one leg and one arm were amputated due to infection. That time was right after the fire at Chengdong Middle School."

For a moment, Mingmei didn't know if she was more shocked by Mu Chen's news, or by how versatile his milk delivery job was.

"This milk of yours, delivered to schools, delivered to the police station, delivered to the hospital… is there anywhere it can't be delivered?" After silently digesting the issue with Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang, Mingmei couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of Mu Chen's job.

"Not for the time being. The business is quite extensive…" Mu Chen thought, even if there wasn't, he could create the conditions.

"Then what about the current murder case? Yuan Fang obviously doesn't have the strength to do it, so the suspect is locked on Bai Xiao, but she's a female character."

"But Bai Xiao herself is quite strong, very skilled. If she wanted to, she could definitely kill those people single-handedly." Mu Chen reminded Mingmei of Bai Xiao's skills.

"It's just, I don't understand. Is Bai Xiao doing this just to make this character turn evil? Is Mona constantly guiding her, making this character do these things?

If that's really the case, will Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang's roles affect our future plans?"

Mingmei took a deep breath and said so much.

Since entering the game, three out of ten people have been eliminated, and the identities of the other two are unknown and may explode in the end, and one is under the Boss's nose.

Calculating like this, Mingmei suddenly felt that her heart was not beautiful anymore.

"This matter, we still need to ask Lillian." Mu Chen pointed out the person they should look for next.

…

"Jerry and his wife?" Lillian didn't seem surprised that Mingmei and Mu Chen came to ask her about Bai Xiao and the others. "Mr. Jerry used to be a pharmacist, I remember. Mrs. Jerry is a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) coach."

"That's right…" Mingmei and Mu Chen exchanged a look, and they had a better understanding.

Besides Bai Xiao's own strength, this character also has the ability.

"But what exactly happened to their character in the past year? To become like this?" Lillian sighed a little when she mentioned this.

Mu Chen looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Why they became like this in the past year, besides Mona tampering with their memories, don't you really know anything else?"

Mu Chen didn't believe that this guy who hadn't had her memory altered didn't know anything.

"I said, I divorced and moved away with Mona more than a year ago. Some things have been so long ago that I don't remember them."

"Really? How could you not remember? This time is…"

Mingmei wanted to say that some unimportant time nodes are usually just a black screen in the game, and then [n years later] is simply skipped over, right?

As a result, before she could finish speaking, Lily looked at Mingmei and said, "For you, this is just a game, but for us, it is the real world.

The entire game world is controlled by Mona, without external interference. NPCs live and grow according to their own trajectories… Do you think I, as a full-time wife, have time to care about my former neighbors in the past year?"

"Okay, I won't ask you about the neighbors. But how did you change from a strong woman to a full-time wife, accept your ex-husband's domestic violence, and become a completely different person, forbearing and not fighting back?"

"You investigated me?"

Lillian frowned and glared at Mingmei. She didn't know that Mingmei would go to where she used to live to investigate her and find out these things.

Seeing Mingmei being so persistent and scrutinizing every detail, Lillian finally confessed her sense of disharmony.

In the original work, she had always been a strong woman. Her husband couldn't stand her busy and strong-willed behavior, so he remarried later and neglected the relationship between his husband and daughter, causing the final irreparable disaster.

When Mona awakened, probably because the role of mother didn't bring her many good memories, she tampered with the other party's memory with a bit of wickedness and self-righteousness, turning her into what she is now.

She even changed that honest and clumsy biological father, making him commit violence against Lillian.

Although Lena's later husband did that kind of thing to Mona in the original work, in Mona's impression, he was still a very beautiful image.

Therefore, when that time node arrived, Mona forcibly made Lillian and her husband divorce decisively and leave with herself.

"You as a mother…"

Listening to what the other party said, Mingmei could only stare at the other party with a complicated expression for a long time.

She didn't know whether to sympathize with the other party for a moment, or to say that her education method was too unsuccessful.

"But, you should know about your daughter's misdeeds against the daughter next door, right? You two left without saying goodbye, and Mona inexplicably killed their daughter in school, and the couple became like this because of this. Don't you think you're very cold-blooded when you say the words above?"

"Otherwise? It's already good that I didn't report them to the school for arson, right?" Lillian sneered, looking at the two people who were stunned by the shocking news that she had suddenly revealed, and then said, "How could my honest and clumsy ex-husband have an affair with Jerry's daughter? It was obviously someone else who had the affair, and he was just a scapegoat."
