"Yun Ting, bring Wan'er in for breakfast," called Wan Manyu, who had finished making breakfast.
"Coming, let's go, Wan'er, time for breakfast..." Wan Yun Ting picked up Wan'er and went inside. Seeing his elder sister's expressionless face, Wan Yun Ting was worried but didn't show it. "Sis, you should eat too."
"Mm, I'll go wash up first." Wan Manyu nodded slightly and went upstairs. Wan Yun Ting and Wan'er ate tomato and egg noodle soup in the dining room. Soon, Wan Manyu came downstairs after washing up. Wan'er said, "Mom, this is for you."
Wan Manyu nodded, sat down, and silently ate her noodles... Wan Yun Ting knew his elder sister was depressed because of Hou Bing's situation, but he couldn't say anything in front of Wan'er.
"Third Uncle, I like tomatoes, here you go..." Wan'er put a tomato from her bowl into Wan Yun Ting's bowl. Wan Manyu, sitting opposite them, looked up and said sternly, "Tomatoes are nutritious, eat them yourself."
"But I don't like them, they're sour," Wan'er pouted.
"You must eat them." Wan Manyu put a tomato from her own bowl into Wan'er's, saying sternly, "Eat them all."
"I don't want to, I won't eat them..." Wan'er felt wronged.
"You dare not eat them?" Wan Manyu glared, stood up, and pointed at Wan'er, yelling, "If you don't finish them today, I'll hit you..."
"Wuwu, Mommy is a bad person..." Wan'er was so scared that she burst into tears. Wan Yun Ting hugged her, frowning at Wan Manyu, "Sis, calm down."
A fierce glint appeared in Wan Manyu's eyes as she looked directly at Wan Yun Ting. After a moment, she said faintly, "Don't spoil her from now on!" With that, she stood up and left the dining room, going directly to the second floor, followed by the sound of a door closing...
This made Wan Yun Ting frown. Wan'er in his arms also lifted her little head, looking at him with her big red eyes, "Third Uncle, Mommy is mad at me, I'll eat the tomatoes..." Seeing his niece's piteous gaze, Wan Yun Ting stroked her little head and said with a fond smile, "Your mother is in a bad mood, don't bother her later."
"Mm-hmm." Wan'er nodded obediently and returned to her seat, eating the tomatoes in her bowl... Wan Yun Ting sighed slightly, picked up his phone, and called Director Li to ask for half a day off, planning to stay and look after his elder sister and Wan'er for half a day...
Police station. After interrogating Hou Bing, he confessed to the murder of Cheng Kai and signed a confession. Now, he awaits sentencing by the court. The Cheng family, upon learning that Hou Bing was Wan Manyu's ex-boyfriend, immediately made a connection. Cheng Quan was furious and publicly declared that Hou Bing would pay for the death of his son! The news in Huadu was now all about this matter. From Cheng Kai's disappearance to his murder and dismemberment in the Zhu River, it was clear that even if Wan Yun Ting had pleaded with Pang Yuan, no one could circumvent national law!
Wan Yun Ting, who was at home with Wan'er, also learned from a phone call with Pang Yuan that Hou Bing had confessed. He was currently detained at the police station and would be transferred to Huadu Prison tomorrow to await sentencing. Just then, the doorbell rang. Wan Yun Ting, holding Wan'er, went to open the door. It was his second brother, Wan Dong Ming, with Wang Chu Lin. Wan'er happily called out, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt..."
"Be a good girl, Wan'er, look what I brought you..." Wang Chu Lin was carrying several bags of fruit. Wan'er saw strawberries and happily exclaimed, "I love strawberries the most! Thank you, Second Aunt..."
"So sensible." Wang Chu Lin hugged Wan'er, and followed Wan Yun Ting into the villa with Wan Dong Ming. They didn't see Wan Manyu... "She's upstairs," Wan Yun Ting said, pointing to the second floor, and sighed.
"Let's go see Big Sister first..." Wan Dong Ming and Wang Chu Lin went upstairs. Wan Yun Ting washed the fruit and gave it to Wan'er to eat... A while later, they came downstairs together. Seeing his second brother and sister-in-law accompanying his elder sister, Wan Yun Ting felt relieved. As Director Li called to say a patient had arrived to see him, Wan Yun Ting asked his second brother to take good care of his elder sister and returned to the Chinese medicine department...
"Yun Ting Ge, is your sister okay?" Su Ke'er ran over to ask him as soon as she knew he was back.
"Mm, she's fine," replied Wan Yun Ting after seeing a patient.
"Alas, Big Sister is so pitiful." Su Ke'er sympathized with Wan Manyu greatly after learning about it from the news. After all, the news was now directly exposing Cheng Kai's past domestic abuse scandals, making female netizens sympathize with Wan Manyu, feeling that her life in such a family was not easy. They didn't blame her for maintaining contact with her ex-boyfriend, as she needed comfort at the moment... However, some news outlets were still attacking Wan Manyu and Hou Bing, talking about infidelity and moral decay, with all sorts of opinions circulating... So, Wan Yun Ting decided not to read the news to avoid annoyance.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Chu Lin, at Wan Manyu's house, urgently called Wan Yun Ting: "Third Brother, Big Sister is gone!"
"What?" Wan Yun Ting stood up in shock. "What happened?"
Wang Chu Lin said anxiously, "I was playing with Wan'er in the backyard just now, and when I came back into the villa, Big Sister was nowhere to be found. She had been telling me to take care of Wan'er earlier!" This alarmed Wan Yun Ting, who immediately exclaimed, "This is bad!" He hung up the phone and rushed out, taking off his white coat. He shouted to Director Li, "Sorry, Director Li, I have an emergency and need to leave..."
Wan Yun Ting, who had just come out, immediately drove towards the police station. He also called his elder sister. At that moment, Wan Manyu, sitting in a taxi and about to arrive at the police station, saw her third brother's name on her phone but didn't answer. The taxi stopped at the entrance of the police station. Wan Manyu got out and stood at the entrance, gazing at the national emblem of the police station for a long time. Zhou Dong came out and saw her, surprised, "Wan Manyu, what are you doing here?"
Wan Manyu, returning to her senses, looked directly at Zhou Dong and said calmly, "I'm here to surrender!" Zhou Dong was stunned, and the two police officers beside him exchanged glances. Then, Wan Manyu calmly said, "I killed Cheng Kai, I'm here to surrender." Zhou Dong, finally reacting, was shocked and looked at her, "Do you know what these words mean?"
Wan Manyu nodded. "I know, but I don't want him to bear the罪名 (guilt/blame) for me!" Zhou Dong frowned. In fact, he had always felt that the Cheng Kai case was problematic because it had been too smooth.
"Come in and talk." So, Zhou Dong and the others took Wan Manyu inside. Niu Qiuling, who was coming out, saw this and was surprised to see Zhou Dong taking Wan Manyu into the interrogation room. She then called Wan Yun Ting. Wan Yun Ting, who was on his way, received the call and asked, "Did my sister go to the police station?"
"Yes, I just saw Captain Zhou taking her to the interrogation room," said Niu Qiuling. Confirmed, Wan Yun Ting was filled with anxiety. He hung up the phone and sped towards the police station...
"Tell us." Zhou Dong and the two police officers looked at Wan Manyu sitting in front of them. She pondered for a moment and then began, "On the afternoon of the seventh, after I sent my daughter to my mother-in-law's house, I returned to find Hou Bing waiting for me..."
"At 7:30 in the evening, Cheng Kai suddenly came home. I asked Hou Bing to hide in the room at home, and then I went downstairs. But Cheng Kai was furious. He came up and slapped me, asking if the daughter was his biological child..." Zhou Dong, sitting opposite her, listened intently as Wan Manyu recounted the events, while a police officer beside him typed her words into the keyboard...
