“Well, are you willing to prove your innocence by agreeing to be put through hypnosis? Do you have the guts to?” Gu Beicheng asked with raised brows.
Lin Mingyuan was at a loss for words.
“You don’t dare to, do you? Since you said you didn’t do it, you ought to be put through hypnosis. We’ve already found a hypnotist. Once you agree to it, we’ll call him here immediately. You shall prove your innocence in front of your parents.”
Lin Mingyuan stood rooted to the ground in silence.
Seemingly having guessed the situation, Mrs. Lin cocked her head sideways and asked Lin Mingyuan, “Mingyuan, did you really try and harm Mingxi? Did you really hypnotize me and your father to find out Mingxi’s birth characters?”
The more she remained quiet, the more it seemed that she was admitting to it.
“Say something!”
“I’m going home now!”
Just as she was trying to leave, Gu Beicheng stopped her and said, “Forget about leaving unless you make yourself clear today.”
“Gu Beicheng, get out of my way!”
“I’m not going to. What can you do? Do you need me to call the police for you?” Gu Beicheng taunted, squinting at her with anger in his eyes. He approached her slowly, step by step, while Lin Mingyuan retreated slightly.
Lin Mingyuan was no longer the domineering, alpha female she used to be and instead appeared to be much more cowardly, perhaps because she was guilty and knew that there was no way she could explain herself.
Gu Beicheng warned, “Don’t think of stepping out of this door unless you give me a clear explanation. You either come clean and own up or undergo hypnosis. We won’t malign you in front of Father and Mother!”
Lin Mingxi still had a little hope in her, for she remembered that the hypnotist once said that people who have strong willpower won’t be vulnerable to hypnosis.
She swallowed her saliva and said, “I’ll go through the hypnosis. Will that do?”
“Alright.”
Gu Beicheng immediately dialed An Xiaoning’s number.
An Xiaoning had also suspected that Lin Mingxi’s parents were hypnotized into revealing her birth characters. After all, An Xiaoning was skilled in hypnosis herself.
An Xiaoning had also brought another young man with her, a renowned hypnotist whom she had hired.
After all, An Xiaoning was only well versed in hypnotizing a subject when they’re in the initial stages of sleep. Meanwhile, the hypnotist was able to carry out hypnosis even when the subject was lucid and awake.
Lin Mingyuan had no choice but to lie down on the sofa reluctantly, repeatedly telling herself that she must not respond to the prompts given by the hypnotist and that she must not tell the truth.
She prayed fervently in her heart.
However, she had lost the battle the moment she accepted the hypnosis.
Having had a guilty conscience to begin with, she was initially resistant to the hypnotist’s prompts but soon slipped into a daze.
She admitted to everything and spilled the beans in front of everyone.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin felt cold shivers down their spines upon hearing the truth straight from the horse’s mouth. To make matters worse, they even heard Lin Mingyuan say, “I detest Father and Mother to the core. Why did they want to have a second child? Am I not enough for them? They’re old and I can’t take care of them. They even split their assets into half, but all of their assets should have belonged to me in the first place! If it weren’t because I wanted to sound them out and find out about the birth characters and timing, I wouldn’t have bothered making peace with them at all! In order to hide the truth, I obviously can’t turn cold and aloof again immediately. It’s so tiring having to keep up with the pretense.”
Gu Beicheng had filmed the entire process in a video.
It served as evidence of their crime.
Lin Mingyuan woke up to a tight slap across her face.
She was instantly dumbfounded, and the impact left her ears ringing.
Clutching her face in pain, she met her parents’ eyes, which were seething with exasperation. Her heart sank as she wondered to herself, Did I say something wrong?
An Xiaoning and the hypnotist left the mansion, leaving them to settle their familial matters.
Mrs. Lin screeched, “Mingyuan, you’ve really disappointed me and your father. Why are you upset that we’ve split the company shares and our assets into half to be shared between you and Mingxi? Not only did you try and cause Mingxi to suffer a miscarriage, but you also even wanted to kill her. If I’d known earlier that you’d turn out this way, I would’ve strangled you to death the moment you were born!”
Lin Mingyuan looked up at her and scorned, “Why didn’t you do that, then? Isn’t it too late to say these now?”
“You…” Mrs. Lin’s anger had robbed her of her speech.
“It’s indeed too late, but we’ve already filmed the process of you getting hypnotized. We have the evidence now. I won’t let you off. We’ll hand this video over to the police,” said Lin Mingxi, glowering at her.
“What’s the point in handing it over to the police? Don’t you know that harming others using birth characters is just a superstitious concept? The police won’t believe you!” Lin Mingyuan retorted.
“Are you naive or plain stupid? The police were the ones who approached An Xiaoning for assistance in solving cases. Do you seriously think they won’t believe in such superstitious things? They may not publicize it, but that doesn’t mean they don’t believe in them.”
Lin Mingyuan turned as pale as a sheet immediately.
What’s going to happen to the company if I go to jail? What’s going to happen to my money and assets?
I can’t be put behind bars!
Lin Mingyuan seemed to have transformed into a different person within seconds. She dropped onto the ground and knelt down in front of Mr. and Mrs. Lin and pleaded, “Father, Mother, I was wrong. Please forgive me this once, I won’t dare to do it again!”
“Shouldn’t you be begging me instead? Beicheng, call the police. Although she did not manage to kill me, she still attempted murder,” said Lin Mingxi, clenching her fists in anger.
Noticing that Gu Beicheng was about to call the police without hesitation, Mrs. Lin hurriedly stopped him. “Beicheng, wait!”
Regardless of how disappointed and aggrieved Mrs. Lin was, she still could not bear to watch her daughter being sent to prison.
Mrs. Lin pleaded, “Let’s forget it this time. You guys have this video as proof. Your sister wouldn’t dare to do it again. Just let her off this once.”
Lin Mingxi looked at her and hollered agitatedly, “How are you so sure that she wouldn’t dare to do it again? She even knows about my birth characters and timing now. How do you know that she wouldn’t continue to harm me? How are you going to guarantee that!?!”
Mrs. Lin was at a sudden loss for an explanation. She looked down at her daughter who was kneeling in front of her and said, “Promise Mingxi you won’t do this again!”
Lin Mingxi sneered and said, “Beicheng, call the police.”
Lin Mingyuan immediately knelt down in front of both of them and begged, “Don’t call the police, I really won’t do this again, I promise!”
Noticing how adamant they were, Mrs. Lin knelt down as well.
Lin Mingxi felt a piece of herself crumble the moment Mrs. Lin knelt down.
Suppressing her anger with all her might, she stared at her mother in disbelief and said to Lin Mingyuan coldly, “Sure, I won’t call the police, but you’ll have to hand the company over to me. You won’t be up to any mischief if you don’t have any money at all.”
Lin Mingyuan looked up abruptly and questioned, “What!?! You mean you want me to end up with nothing to my name?”
“That’s right.”
Lin Mingyuan got up on her feet and shrieked, “Just kill me now, then! Will that do? You’ll have everything, I’ll give you everything!”
Mr. Lin grabbed her to stop her from entering the kitchen. Mrs. Lin bawled loudly and exclaimed in misery, “Will you guys cut it out, please!”
