My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 165: Split Personality

In the police station, the police commissioner wiped the cold sweat off his face with the sleeve of his shirt, then ran over hurriedly.

It was already 10 o’ clock at night now. He was sleeping at home, and his subordinate called him to inform him that there was a murder in the hospital, and the suspect behind it was Mrs. Lu. He felt the world was collapsing onto him. He was dead; he accidentally reached the end of his tenure.

It would not matter who died, but how was Mrs. Lu dragged into this?

The police commissioner was puzzled.

“Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu.”

Lu Shaoming was dressed in a black suit, and he sat on the long bench. His long legs were crossed elegantly, and his defined, sculpture-like face bore a calm expression. His entire being was in an eerie calm, which made others feel a chill down their backs.

The police commissioner hurried his footsteps to greet him.

Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze to glance at the commissioner. His cold, thin lips were pursed together and without an expression on his face, he said, “Say what you know. What is going on exactly?”

“Yes yes.” The commissioner gave his subordinate an indicating look, and the subordinate used the computer to play the surveillance footage from the hospital. action

“Young Master Lu, this is the surveillance footage that we received from the hospital. Your wife ran out from Ning Yao’s hospital ward hurriedly at 8pm tonight, and both her hands were stained with fresh blood stains. She ran from the corridor to the lift and still crashed into many passers-by on the way. Your wife is a celebrity. The passers-by had confirmed that the person was definitely your wife without a doubt. At that time, the doctor sensed that something was amiss and rushed back to the ward to have a look. Ning Yao was laid out on the bed, and a knife was poking out of the middle of her 5-months-pregnant belly. It was the death of one body but two lives.”

Lu Shaoming was very focused as he looked at the surveillance footage. In the footage, the figure who was running away in a panic was really very similar to Ning Qing, and even the clothes on her body were exactly what Ning Qing would wear.

But that person could not be Ning Qing.

He was familiar with all of Ning Qing’s micro expressions, and he could tell any minor difference. Furthermore, Ning Qing would not kill a person!

“My wife was inside the villa from the entire duration of 1 hour, from 8- 9pm. Although this person resembles my wife a lot, she definitely is not my wife!”

The police officer was in a rough spot, and he said, “I am sorry, Young Master Lu. You said your wife was in the villa during that one hour period, but she does not have any other alibi. There is a possibility that she committed the murder and rushed back to the villa.”

Lu Shaoming snorted and said, “The killer in the footage murdered Ning Yao and ran out boldly, and she still knocked into passers-by. It is obvious that she wanted to let the entire world know that she was the killer, as she attracted everyone’s attention. Would my wife be this foolish? Would she murder someone and then run back to the villa to wait for you all to arrest her?”

“Young Master Lu, we need evidence as we complete our investigation. The evidence that we have collected so far shows that the key suspect is your wife. Young Master Lu, you think that your wife is innocent, that she is a scapegoat who has been targeted by someone; then is there a second Ning Qing in this world? I would invite Young Master Lu to seek that person out, or maybe you could provide evidence showing that your wife was not present at the crime scene during that one hour window between 8pm and 9pm.”

Lu Shaoming’s dark eyes shone with a sharp glow, and he scanned that police officer with a penetrating glare that was like the piercing end of a knife.

The police officer was no longer. He shivered at Lu Shaoming’s stare and instinctively lowered his head.

“Don’t be angry, Young Master Lu.” The head commissioner of the police force was sweating profusely and he tried to calm the atmosphere. “I definitely believe that Mrs. Lu is an innocent party who has framed by someone. But Young Master Lu, as my subordinate said: If you are able to provide evidence, only then can the police force cooperate with Young Master Lu and return Mrs. Lu her innocence.”

Lu Shaoming inttensified his piercing glare and did not speak.

“President.” Zhu Rui walked inside the room.

“How is it going?”

Zhu Rui had a grave expression on his face as he said, “Madam walked back to the villa from the hospital. The journey was merely 10 minutes long. Madam chose to take a shortcut. The road was secluded and did not have any surveillance cameras on the way, and the surveillance footage from outside the Tea Pavilion Villa has vanished. The security guard in charge of the estate said that he was not present for 5 minutes as he was in the midst of changing shifts. It is apparent that someone set this up.”

There was surveillance footage of Ning Qing entering the estate, but now, the only footage that could determine her innocence had disappeared.

In all honesty, Lu Shaoming had long predicted this would happen. Someone had impersonated Ning Qing in the hospital to commit a murder, and the perpetrator behind this would not be this foolish to let the real Ning Qing have an alibi to prove her innocence.

“What about Auntie Yang?”

“Auntie Yang had just returned to the villa, and she said that she met a little boy who was lost when she went to the market to buy groceries. She sent the small boy back home, and the boy circled around 7 or 8 times to keep her busy. President, it is very obvious that someone spent a long time planning this. Someone impersonated Madam to commit the crime, and that person has destroyed every piece of evidence that can prove Madam was not at the scene at that time. The mastermind is coming for Madam locked and loaded.”

Lu Shaoming had a cold, bloodthirsty smile on his face. He said, “Maybe that person is coming after me.”

“President, you mean?”

Lu Shaoming did not answer, and he turned around to tell the police commissioner, “My lawyer will arrive a little later; I want to claim bail for Ning Qing. I want to bring her home.”

“This...”

“Commissioner, this is not in line with the regulations. Ning Qing had the intention to commit murder, and bail is not allowed for this charge. Furthermore, this matter in the hospital has created quite the commotion in the news. A 5-months-pregnant lady was stabbed in the belly with a knife, and she was pinned down and killed on the bed. The murder itself was cruel and extreme. The killer is the new generation’s Best Actress. She is ubiquitous in the entertainment industry, and she is a hot topic among the people. She has been the topic of much scrutiny and controversy, and this will definitely be at the top of entertainment headlines tomorrow. When this news spread to the citizens, there will definitely be journalists who cover this incident closely. If the police make an exception to give special treatment in this case, it will be bad for both us and Young Master Lu’s reputation.”

The police commissioner felt his legs crumble, and he carefully looked at the expression on Lu Shaoming’s face. “Young Master Lu, let us temporarily hold Madam in our station. You can rest assured. We will treat Madam well, and I believe with Young Master Lu’s abilities, you will surely be able to find evidence. Haha, Young Master Lu, wouldn’t you say so?”

The police commissioner had no other solution and could only try to butter him up.

Lu Shaoming’s handsome face was tightly clenched, and his thin lips were pursed together in a cold, straight line.

“President, it would be the best for everyone if Madam stays in the police station. Madam is a celebrity, and this matter has a huge impact on her reputation. We should focus our resources to trace down the mastermind and prove Madam’s innocence as soon as possible.”

Lu Shaoming knew the danger of this matter. He only had to think of leaving Ning Qing alone in the police lockup, and his heart would hurt painfully.

Who dared to plot something against him?

Great, he would let the person pay the painful price!

“Zhu Rui, suppress this matter. I don’t want to see Ning Qing’s name in any headldines tomorrow.”

“Yes, sir.” Zhu Rui nodded his head.

They can suppress reports on the matter all they want, but the rumours are sure to spread around T city like wildfire.

A person’s words could have a large impact.

...

Ning Qing was brought into the interrogation room. The police officer questioned her, and she did not give any response. She only persisted that she was an innocent party.

She was in fact innocent, and she did not know anything.

The police officer let her watch the video, and when she saw a person who looked exactly like her walk out of the hospital ward with blood stained hands, she was taken aback. Who was this person?

This murderer looked very similar to her, and even her figure and expressions looked like the two of them were cast from the same mold.

Who was out to harm her?

After that, the police officer gave Ning Qing some photographs to look at, and Ning Yao was pinned down motionless on the bed in the photographs.

Both her hands were shaking. Even if she did once hate Ning Yao, at this moment, she saw the sad way that she passed. Ning Qing felt sorry for her.

Ning Yao’s eyes were especially wide when she died. She did not bear to die, and she could not believe that she would die just like that.

A knife stuck out of her round stomach, and fresh blood stained the bedsheets red, and it had even dripped onto the floor...

Ning Qing’s entire body was shivering. It was so cruel. It was really too cruel. The child in Ning Yao’s belly was already at the point where it resembled a small baby.

Even if the person wanted Ning Yao to die, they didn’t have to be so cruel and heartless.

“Ning Qing, don’t be scared.” Suddenly, she felt two large hands on her shoulders, and Lu Shaoming stood behind her to comfort her gently.

She did not know when the police officers left, and Ning Qing turned around and hugged Lu Shaoming’s built waist. “Shaoming, Ning Yao is dead, who killed her? That person looks exactly like me; what is going on exactly? Why did she have to frame me?”

Lu Shaoming slowly bent down and used two large hands to cup Ning Qing’s small face. Although her face was pale, her beautiful eyes were not flustered, and they were instead calm and glowing brightly.

Lu Shaoming kissed her lips and said, “Ning Qing, don’t worry. Give me some time. I will quickly get to the bottom of this. You stay in the police station for the time being, and I will bring you home soon.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head firmly and continued, “I will stay here obediently. You don’t have to worry about me. I am innocent, and I believe that you will investigate what happened and uncover the truth.”

“Okay, then I will leave. I have some matters to handle.” Lu Shaoming caressed her soft hair.

...

Lu Shaoming walked out of the interrogation room and the police commissioner bowed down to await his arrival. “Young Master Lu, don’t worry. My place here is safe; I will protect your wife well.”

Lu Shaoming cast a cold glance at him and said, “That would be best.”

He walked away with long strides and brought Zhu Rui along with him to depart.

Sending this Buddha off, the police commissioner speedily stood up straight, and he commanded the few police officers behind him, “All of you take care of Mrs. Lu carefully. You have to serve her well with good lodging and food. If she loses even a single strand of hair, then you all may as well quit.”

“Yes, sir.” The police officers all nodded their heads.

...

Once they made it out of the police station, Lu Shaoming walked towards the car. At this moment, Zhu Rui’s phone rang, and he answered the call.

“President,” Zhu Rui called out in shock, making Lu Shaoming stop in his tracks. “President, there is news from Singapore. What Mu Yunfan has done in these past 3 years has been investigated clearly now, and Mu Yunfan, he...”

...

Lu Shaoming brought Zhu Rui to a villa. Two bodyguards stood outside. “I want to meet Mu Yunfan. Tell him that Lu Shaoming wants to see him.”

The bodyguard nodded his head and opened the main door of the villa. “Young Master Lu, please go on. Our Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time already.”

Lu Shaoming went into the villa. Mu Yunfan wore a green sweater and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and Butler Zhou stood beside him.

Lu Shaoming went forward and threw the documents in his hands on the coffee table in front of Mu Yunfan. He laughed coldly and said, “It turns out that Young Master Mu has an illness. If you are sick, you should seek treatment. You have not recovered, and you are out here plotting and scheming. This is your mistake, Young Master Mu.”

Mu Yunfan placed the teacup on the coffee table, and the expression in his eyes was relaxed. He had a smile on his face as he glanced at some documents. While he flipped through the documents, he said, “It is no doubt Young Master Lu, Singapore is the territory of the Mu family, and there is a wall that could be seen to be made out of metal. I have only been back for a mere few days, and Young Master Lu has been actually able to lay your hands on my medical history so clearly. It is no doubt that you are capable.”

“Heh, actually when you hit Ning Qing’s head in the warehouse yesterday, I sensed that your actions were abnormal. It turns out that you have a split personality disorder, and these 3 years, you have been receiving treatment in secret.” Lu Shaoming sat on one end of the sofa and smiled while squinting his eyes. “Young Master Mu had been a ball of sunshine and handsome from a very young age. He was the little prince of T City. To be honest, your personality is weird and aloof. You never put anyone in this world in your eyes. 3 years ago, you saw Li Meiling and Ning Yao coldly take action. You even put on this evil show. You do not care about others’ feelings, and you only want to play.

“There is a stark difference between what you say and what you do. You wanted to have Ning Qing, but you couldn’t do so due to family obligations. You were arrogant, and did not like your father’s expectations of you, but you were heavily controlled by him. You could not control your own life and could not stop struggling. This forced two personalities to arise. The first one being you on the surface, warm and summery, and the second is that inner demon inside the depths of your heart. You finally let him take hold.

“It seems that the 3 years of treatment was of absolutely no use. You were almost swallowed up by that dark demon, and you’ve become even more selfish and evil, and your heart has become more and more perverted!”

Mu Yunfan was not agitated. He smiled as he shrugged his shoulders while he said, “How does my medical history matter to Young Master Lu? Are you visiting me here today to study my illness?”

Lu Shaoming welcomed his gaze and said, “Young Master Mu was not asleep at 11 pm today. Why would you wait for me to come to the villa today? Say it all now. You asked someone to frame Ning Qing. What exactly do you want from me?”

“Heh, Young Master Lu is so sure that I ordered someone to frame Ning Qing?”

“If it was not you, who else could it be? You did not choose to activate the bomb at the last moment in the warehouse yesterday. I still thought that you still had feelings for Ning Qing, but looking at it now, it is not the case at all. I surrounded the warehouse yesterday. You knew that you had lost, so you admitted to your mistakes. You struck when our guard was low. I only have one thing to say, Young Master Mu is way too scheming!”

Mu Yunfan curled up his lips, and said, “If Qingqing is willing to be my woman and return to Singapore with me, then would I have had to do all of this? I sent her to jail because I wanted her to be more obedient in the future. I wanted her to stop going against my wishes.”

“If Ning Qing does not become obedient, it’s because she is Mrs. Lu, and this point alone would make Young Master Mu disappointed.”

“Is that right?” Mu Yunfan squinted his eyes and said, “She is now Mrs. Lu, but she might not be in the future.”

Lu Shaoming’s dark eyes instantly became like the eyes of hawk in the night sky. They were sharp and accurate, and he laughed coldly, “Young Master Mu is finally willing to talk about the main point itself?”

Mu Yunfan clicked his hands and said, “Butler Zhou, let Young Master Lu see the video.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Butler Zhou switched on the television in the living room.

There was a video on the television. There was a woman who was dressed in a sexy halter neck, and the girl was dancing around a pole, and while she danced she took on many attractive and alluring poses.

Lu Shaoming’s facial expression become dark; this woman resembled Ning Qing very much. She was Ning Yao’s murderer.

The woman danced as she approached the camera, and the scene changed. Mu Yunfan sat on the sofa, and that woman sat on Mu Yunfan’s thighs as she kissed him and softly called out, “Older Brother Yun Fan...”

Then the woman slowly bent down and undid Mu Yunfan’s belt...
