Chapter 972: How Will You Explain?

“Who’s to say it wasn’t you? You’ve been to France, you’ve got drugs in your own house, and you’re familiar with them yourself. If you want to do harm, there’s a lot you can do with them, isn’t there?” Yue Yu asked.
“The active ingredient of this drug is currently only available in a fixed pharmaceutical factory in France. Moreover, it’s not listed yet. In other words, only insiders can obtain it. When the time comes, won’t we know the truth?” Shi Jin said.
She gave Charles a long look as she spoke.
Charles’s eyes widened. “YX creatine. Newly obtained ingredients from our family’s pharmaceutical factory…”
He suddenly looked at Yue Yu. “Xiao Yu, only our family’s pharmaceutical factory has this kind of ingredient at the moment. It’s not available in the world yet, nor has it been listed. I brought you to the pharmaceutical factory last time. You…”
!!“Charles, do you believe Shi Jin’s nonsense? How can this prove that she didn’t get it herself to frame me?” Yue Yu argued anxiously.
“But Shi Jin has never been to our family’s pharmaceutical factory!” Charles stared at her in shock.
“That doesn’t mean she can’t develop it! It’s too easy for her to replicate the drug,” Yue Yu said loudly.
She turned to look at Yue Feng and Madam Yue. “Dad, Mom, don’t believe Shi Jin’s nonsense. How could I harm Grandma? I wouldn’t!”
Neither Shi Jin nor Fu Xiuyuan spoke as they sized her up coldly.
Yue Yu was surprised by their calm expressions. Could they really have evidence?
No, it couldn’t be. Shi Jin was the one who understood the drug’s effects best. She didn’t understand anything. Why should anyone trust Shi Jin but not her?
“I don’t understand drugs. I don’t know!”
Charles’s voice was pained. “Xiao Yu, we have a professional application for the drugs in our house. The contents and proportions of the drugs can be determined by testing. Others can replicate drugs with similar effects, but they can’t make them exactly the same.”
Yue Yu’s pupils dilated, and her lips trembled.
His voice was even more bitter. “Shi Jin, Dr. Song, can I see your test report?”
Dr. Song and Shi Jin handed him the documents.
Charles looked at it seriously, saw the details, and turned to Yue Yu with utter disappointment. “How are you going to explain that, Xiao Yu?”
“I—” Yue Yu was lost for words.
Charles was a professional, especially when it came to his own pharmaceutical factory.
He gritted his teeth and said, “After I brought you to visit the pharmaceutical factory, someone reported that I had lost three new bottles of medicine. I didn’t suspect you or even ask you. I just asked my subordinates to check the situation. If there were no major problems, I didn’t care. If Shi Jin really took it, she didn’t have the time, nor could she have entered my family’s pharmaceutical factory. There can be no… coincidence like that.”
Yue Yu stepped back. “Charles, let me explain—”
Charles pressed. “Then explain yourself!”
“I-I have no reason to hurt Grandma. I have a good relationship with her. I still want to stay in the Yue family. Grandma loves me very much. Why should I go and push myself off the cliff?”
Her words made sense. For a moment Charles hesitated.
Even Old Madam Yue, who was breathing heavily, hesitated. There was no motive for Yue Yu to commit the crime!
Just as the atmosphere froze, Yue Lanchen said calmly, “Yue Yu, why avoid it? You drugged her much earlier than others think.”
“Yue Lanchen, you’re my younger brother. I’ve been so good to you. Are you going to hit me when I’m down?” Yue Yu looked at Yue Lanchen in disbelief.
“Has everyone forgotten that Yue Yu knew that she wasn’t of the Yue family’s bloodline, much earlier than everyone else? At the time, she thought that she was the only one who knew, but she didn’t intend to tell everyone. If it hadn’t been for a freak coincidence that forced Sister to reveal this, the entire family would still be in the dark about Yue Yu.”
After Yue Lanchen’s reminder, the entire family remembered that this was indeed the case.
Yue Lanchen continued, “You assumed that everyone didn’t know your background, so you tried to keep it a secret. But in between, you were afraid that Grandma would find out that you weren’t of the Yue family’s bloodline—of course, it was only later that everyone found out that she had always known that you weren’t a child of the Yue family. So you were going to drug Grandma so that she wouldn’t have a chance to tell everyone the truth.”
“No, I didn’t! Yue Lanchen, you’re using your own hypothetical results to deduce the process! I didn’t think that at all!” Yue Yu retorted loudly.
Yue Lanchen shook his head and said, “Have you forgotten? When the car accident happened in Germany, Grandma had already arranged for someone to investigate. You were afraid that she would find out about the accident. You were supposed to arrange it for me. If she found out the truth about the accident, Grandma would naturally suspect you further. That’s why you were afraid. That’s why you had to attack Grandma.”
Hearing Yue Lanchen’s words, everyone was shocked again.
Madam Yue looked at her son in shock. “You said that Yue Yu wanted to attack you early on?”
“Mom, it wasn’t the first time she’d attacked me at the time. In the beginning, the drug she gave me had caused my hand injury to worsen. Fortunately, Sister stopped me from using it in time, so it didn’t cause any complications. It was just that at that time, I didn’t want to believe that this was something Yue Yu would do after spending more than twenty years together as brother and sister. I didn’t want to doubt her.”
Yue Lanchen sounded disappointed, and mixed with some anger at being lied to.
He stared at Yue Yu. “Then, in Germany, you tried to use the failure of the brakes to cause something to happen to me so that you could be the only thing our parents could rely on. Fortunately, Sister and Brother-in-law appeared in time for us to switch cars. That’s how it ended up happening to you and not me. At that time, there was no strong evidence either, but in my heart, I couldn’t believe you anymore.”
He took a deep breath before he caught his breath. “It’s hard for me to believe this is what you’d do to me. I thought our relationship would never come to this. I never thought you’d be like this.”
When he finished, he said to Charles, “Charles, your people have taken Yue Yu for their Young Madam, so they’re unwilling and afraid to disobey her. They’ve falsified evidence for her, but if you continue to investigate carefully, you’ll know that the failure of the brakes on the car at that time was caused by Yue Yu single-handedly!”
Charles’s face changed dramatically. He couldn’t believe that the sweetheart he was so devoted to was such a person.
Yue Yu said hurriedly, “It wasn’t me, not at all! I didn’t, Charles. Believe me…”
