Five minutes later, Ye Junqing walked out of the cell. He slightly lifted his right leg, dusted off a wisp of dirt from his trousers, and stepped out of the detention center.
At the detention center’s entrance, three low-profile but luxurious Bentley cars were parked.
Ye Junqing was respectfully ushered into one of the cars, and all three vehicles roared away.
However, Yan Mu did not leave. He watched as two guards dragged a woman with a missing arm out of the detention center. The woman was screaming and yelling continuously, "I am Mu Genggeng! I really am Mu Genggeng! I don’t want to leave the detention center! I don’t want to leave! Let go! Let go!"
The two guards paid no attention to the woman. They pulled her outside the gate of the detention center and gave her a fierce shove on the back, "Get going."
"I don’t want to! Let in! Let in, quickly!"
Song Pianlan was going crazy. I don’t want to beco Chen Lili! I am the noblest young lady of the Mu Family!
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her.
A mont later, another car arrived at the detention center. Exiting the car were Mu Genggeng’s parents and their lawyer.
Song Pianlan imdiately ran towards them, crying out, "Dad, Mom, I’m here! I am Genggeng!"
Mu Genggeng’s mother saw a woman with a missing arm rushing over and calling her ’Mom.’ This startled Mrs. Mu, and she imdiately took two steps back.
Mu Genggeng’s father, shielding his wife behind him, looked at the one-ard Song Pianlan with suspicion, "Where did this lunatic spring from? Get out of the way."
"I really am your daughter, Mu Genggeng! My soul has been swapped with a woman nad Chen Lili. Mom, Dad, I am Genggeng, I truly am Genggeng!"
Mrs. Mu, standing behind her husband, said, "This woman, isn’t she out of her mind? Honey, let’s ignore her and hurry to get Genggeng out."
Mr. Mu nodded and led his wife and lawyer into the detention center.
Mr. Mu arranged for Mu Genggeng to be released on bail and took her out of the detention center.
The new Mu Genggeng was still sowhat confused and timid. She couldn’t quite believe she had suddenly beco a wealthy young lady. Although she was embroiled in a lawsuit, the highest official in Yecheng had told her that as long as she cherished this hard-won rebirth and remained a kind person, she would not go to jail.
When the new Mu Genggeng saw Mr. and Mrs. Mu coming to pick her up, she was filled with dread. What if they find out I’m not the real Mu Genggeng? However, they seed to have no suspicions. Seeing her nervous and frightened expression, they rely thought she was scared by her ti in the detention center and comforted her the entire way.
The group arrived at the detention center’s parking lot, where a luxurious car opened the doors to a new world for her.
This car looks so luxurious! I’ve never paid attention to cars before; I can’t even recognize the emblem, so I have no idea what brand it is. But sitting inside... it feels like I’ve entered paradise...
Then, she saw the one-ard woman outside the car, yelling.
The woman was shouting sothing, but she couldn’t hear because the car’s soundproofing was very good, and nobody cared what she was saying. They all treated her as a lunatic. Only she, sitting inside the car, observed the one-ard woman intently.
That body with the missing arm... it’s mine.
She recalled how, years ago, she too had been a young girl full of vitality and hope for the future. She had studied hard, wanting to change her fate. But then she encountered parents who favored sons over daughters and an abusive husband. They ruined her life, even causing her to lose her right hand—the hand she used to write with.
In an instant, she burst into tears, crying loudly. I hated those days! I thought my life was over. Yet, in the blink of an eye, soone has given a new life!
"Genggeng, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, Daddy and Mommy are here," Mrs. Mu, her heart aching for her daughter, thought she was frightened.
After getting into the car, Mr. Mu said with a cold face, "You still have the nerve to cry after disgracing the Mu Family like this? Don’t you ever involve yourself with traditional Chinese dicine again, do you hear ?!"
Mu Genggeng nodded, vigorously wiping at the corners of her eyes.
Seeing his daughter crying so heartbrokenly, Mr. Mu could not continue to scold her. With a sigh, he said, "Don’t worry. Fortunately, there is no evidence to prove that you sent that box of soil. At present, we can only prove that the prescription you wrote is the sa as the one prescribed by that Doctor Xu. In this matter, apologize where you should, compensate where you should, and reflect on your actions where you should, do you hear ?"
Mu Genggeng nodded. I’ll do anything for a new life, even if it ans cleaning up the ss made by the previous woman.
Mr. Mu said further, "After this matter is resolved, you’ll co back to A Country with , and don’t co to Yecheng again."
Mu Genggeng nodded emphatically. I never want to co to Yecheng again! This place is like a nightmare to . I just want to escape.
Mr. Mu also said, "Dad will arrange another university for you."
Tears welled uncontrollably in her eyes. I can still go to university?
Mu Genggeng cried again, this ti tears of joy.
anwhile, Song Pianlan was also crying, chasing the car, crying all the while. But no matter how she chased, she could never catch up to the speeding, luxurious sedan.
Yan Mu made sure that the Mu Family’s car disappeared from Song Pianlan’s line of sight before he too drove away, alone in his car, his heart heavy with complex emotions.
Uncle Ye had told him that the real Genggeng’s chances of returning were very slim.
He felt sorry for his comrade-in-arms.
But at least I stopped a malicious woman from occupying Genggeng’s body and ruining her reputation. This... I suppose it’s a form of self-consolation, isn’t it?
Yan Mu drove to the seaside, seeking to ease his troubled mind alone by the water.
Ye Shen found him sleeping alone on the beach. He walked over, kicked Yan Mu a couple of tis, and said, "I’ve been looking for you for ages, and here you are. My dad told about Mu Genggeng’s situation. Bro, lighten up. Why don’t I take you sowhere to broaden your horizons?"
Yan Mu, covering his face with his clothes, asked, "Where to?"
Ye Shen said, "A country you’ve never heard of before, called Gendaya."
Yan Mu, who had indeed never heard of it, asked him, "Where is it?"
"Undersea," Ye Shen replied.
"Undersea?" Yan Mu exclaid, uncovering his face.
Ye Shen sat next to him. "I’ll tell you, Atlantis isn’t the only country under the sea; there are others. One of those countries is called Gendaya. Their new Crown Prince is hosting a banquet and has invited . I’ll take you there for a look around; it might cheer you up. Want to go?"
Yan Mu’s interest was genuinely piqued. "There are other countries? How co I’ve never heard about them before?"
"If you weren’t feeling down, you probably wouldn’t be hearing about this. So, are you in? I’m leaving after dinner tonight."
Yan Mu was quite intrigued. He got up and said, "Let’s go, let’s check it out."
Thus, that evening, after dinner, Yan Mu boarded a plane with Ye Shen, off to explore a new world.
