Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 2305 - 2309

Gu Junzhu said, “On the day of Senior Master Wan’s birthday banquet, Wan Chong’s stepmother went upstairs, and Wan Chong came downstairs. When they passed each other, Wan Chong’s stepmother suddenly started insulting Wan Chong’s birth mother in a low voice.”

“Wan Chong was drunk at the time, and his emotions were easily stirred. He stood on the stairs and started arguing with her.”

“Wan Chong said he didn’t control his emotions well at that moment and angrily stepped a few steps towards his stepmother.”

“His stepmother took the opportunity to step back, and then she fell down the stairs.”

“After she was sent to the hospital, the fetus in her womb was miscarried.”

“At the time, Senior Master Wan was drinking with his old friends. Before he even knew about the incident, she called the police and had Wan Chong arrested, accusing him of attempted murder.”

“What?” Ye Xingbei couldn’t believe it. “Attempted murder?”

“That’s right, attempted murder!” Gu Junzhu said. “She accused Wan Chong of attempted murder. Her eldest daughter testified for her, claiming she saw Wan Chong push her mother down the stairs. Following procedure, Wan Chong was arrested by the police.”

“Later, Senior Master Wan pressured Wan Chong’s stepmother. With no other choice, Wan Chong’s stepmother withdrew the accusation, and the charge was reduced to accidental harm.”

“Wan Chong wasn’t sentenced, but higher authorities reviewed the case, determined that he lost control of his emotions and injured someone, and expelled him.”

Ye Xingbei was stunned for a moment, then murmured, “By doing this, Wan Chong’s stepmother ruined his future. Wan Chong must hate her, right?”

“Of course,” Gu Junzhu said. “Wan Chong’s stepmother used the fetus in her womb to frame Wan Chong. Not only did she destroy his future, but she also tainted his reputation with harming an unborn child.”

“People who don’t know Wan Chong might believe what his stepmother said is true and see Wan Chong as a malicious person who would harm his stepmother’s unborn child out of fear she’d give him a brother to compete for inheritance.”

Ye Xingbei thought for a moment and nodded, “Indeed, people can twist words, making themselves seem right. Since Wan Chong is your friend and you analyze this situation from his perspective, I naturally know Wan Chong’s stepmother is a bad person and that Wan Chong was framed by her.”

“But those who don’t know the truth see it as Wan Chong’s stepmother finally pregnant with a male child, and Wan Chong feared she’d give him a brother and take his inheritance, so he deliberately caused her miscarriage.”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “That’s it exactly.”

“Then what can be done?” Ye Xingbei asked. “Is there a way to clear Wan Chong’s name?”

“Of course,” Gu Junzhu said. “I’ve already sent someone to investigate Wan Chong’s stepmother. If we can prove that she was carrying a female fetus and not a male one, her plot will be exposed to the world.”

“Yes, yes,” Ye Xingbei nodded. “This should be easy to verify, right? The fetus was five months old; you could easily determine if it was a boy or a girl. Just go to the hospital where Wan Chong’s stepmother had the miscarriage, find the doctor and nurse who performed the procedure, and the truth will naturally come out.”

“Yes, and also…” Gu Junzhu’s words were interrupted as his phone rang.

He took a glance at his phone and answered the call.

Whatever was said on the other end caused a strange expression to gradually appear on his face.

A moment later, he said, “I understand, continue to investigate further,” and then hung up the phone.

Seeing his unusual expression, Ye Xingbei asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Junzhu looked at her, his expression somewhat strange. “It was a call from Xiao Gu Qi. He said the child Wan Chong’s stepmother miscarried was indeed a male…”
