My carefree life in space

Chapter 109 Ning Ya Feels Guilty

Three days later, Lin Zihao was out of danger and his condition finally stabilized.

Lin Chenghui couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately led his family onto the spaceship back to the Imperial Star.

Before leaving, the people Lin Yu sent to take over the mining area also arrived and began investigating the events of that day.

After Lin Chenghui returned to the Imperial Star, the relevant results were available.

In the study of the Lin family ancestral home, Lin Chenghui stared in disbelief at his father behind the table.

"How could it just be an accident?"

Lin Yu was unconcerned about his shock. "No matter how many doubts you have, it's useless. The investigation results are right in front of you. Besides, didn't you investigate before and find nothing?"

Lin Chenghui was speechless for a moment. He had placed his hopes on his father because he couldn't find anything out himself, but now the result was the same. He couldn't accept it.

"What about the ore? Is it really gone without a trace?" he asked again, unwilling to give up.

"If the other party hasn't made a move, there's no trace of them. In the current situation, do you think they'll still make a move?" Lin Yu countered.

"So the mining area was just transferred like that?"

"Otherwise, how can you continue to operate the business with a clear conscience?"

Lin Chenghui was speechless. Because of this mining area, his children had suffered one accident after another, and he simply couldn't bear to face it anymore. Let it be transferred; otherwise, the ore loss might continue.

"But I'm really unwilling to accept this. If I don't find out who's behind this, I won't be able to quell my hatred." Lin Chenghui said with a face full of resentment. He thought for a moment and looked at his father.

"Father, does our Lin family have any enemies? Who is most likely to do these things?"

"Which aristocratic family doesn't have a few enemies? As for who is most likely, without evidence, it's all in vain."

In Lin Zihao's small courtyard, he was lying quietly in the treatment pod.

This is the latest recuperation equipment launched by the Royal College of Physicians. Although it cannot cure diseases, it can ensure that the user's bodily functions operate normally and prevent atrophy caused by lying down for too long.

Upon returning to the Imperial Star, Lin Zihao was sent to the Royal Medical Academy. Unfortunately, even with the full resources of the academy, they were unable to change his current situation. Left with no other option, Lin's family had to take him home.

Looking at her silent grandson in the treatment pod, Ningya couldn't stop crying. In just a few days, she had become much more haggard, with sunken eyes and clearly visible wrinkles, a far cry from her former glamorous self.

Looking at her now, that's more like the state she should be in at her age.

Beside him were the rest of the Lin family: Lin Chengye, Lin Chengjin, Lin Yuting, and Lin Yuwan, each with a look of regret on their faces. No matter how jealous they had been before, Lin Zihao's current predicament left them deeply saddened.

"Mom, don't cry. If Zihao knew you were so heartbroken over him, he would feel bad too," Lin Yuting said, holding Ning Ya's hand.

Ning Ya looked at her and suddenly exploded. She pointed at the people present and roared, "Are you all secretly happy? You used to say I was biased. Now that Zihao is in trouble, is that what you wanted?"

With such a heavy accusation leveled against them, no one dared to accept it. They all objected, with Lin Chengjin being the first to object.

"Mom, what you're saying makes no sense. Zihao is our own nephew. How could we be happy if something happened to him?"

“That’s right, we can’t possibly agree with what you’re saying,” Lin Yuwan quickly chimed in.

"Didn't my brother say that someone is deliberately targeting the Lin family? It's Zihao now, but who knows, one of us might be next?"

As soon as Lin Chengye spoke, he attracted everyone's attention, but he didn't mind, saying, "It's not impossible."

Upon hearing this, the others felt a chill run down their spines. Could it be that they were being targeted as well?

"What sins did our family commit to deserve such retribution?"

When Lin Yuwan said that, no one else seemed to notice anything except Ning Ya, whose eyes flashed with guilt, but she quickly hid it.

"What nonsense are you spouting? If you can't speak properly, then shut up. If there's nothing else, go home and don't disturb Zihao's recovery," Ning Ya suddenly said, her expression changing.

"Mom, are you kicking me out?" Lin Yuwan pointed at herself, looked at Ning Ya, and asked incredulously.

She just said something casually, so why did her mother react so strongly, even wanting to kick her out?

The others also looked surprised, and Lin Chengye even showed a thoughtful expression.

Perhaps realizing that her reaction was a bit too extreme, Ning Ya softened her expression. "I didn't mean to kick you out, it's just that you two talk too much and make too much noise. I'm worried that it will affect Zihao's recovery."

This explanation made sense, and Lin Yuwan stopped making a fuss.

On the surface, the conflict had been resolved, but only Ning Ya knew that her youngest daughter's words had left a mark on her heart, because she really had a guilty conscience!

That night, Ning Ya had a nightmare. She dreamed of that woman, An Sheng, who had taken her place as Mrs. Lin.

"Don't come any closer, I'm not afraid of you!" Ning Ya suddenly woke up from her bed.

Looking at her familiar room, she realized that she had dreamed about that woman.

"Madam, what's wrong?" The maid on night duty outside heard the commotion and was about to come in to check.

"Don't come in, I'm fine, I just had a dream, I'm going back to sleep now," Ning Ya quickly stopped her.

After the maid left, she carefully recalled the dream she had just had.

In her dream, the woman stood in front of her, saying nothing, just smiling at her. That smile was full of malice, and at the end, she suddenly pounced on her.

Ning Ya touched her still wildly beating heart, her eyes filled with endless hatred. "Who told you to steal my position? You deserve all of this. I am the ultimate winner."

After saying some harsh words, Ning Ya could no longer fall asleep. Every time she was about to drift off, An Sheng's figure would appear in her dreams, startling her awake.

Ning Ya knew that she was indeed affected by her youngest daughter's words during the day. She was worried that if her children's guesses were true, there would be another person who would be retaliated against. What should she do then?

No, even if I do have an enemy, it wouldn't be that woman. She's been dead for so many years, how could she possibly come back to haunt me? Even her son went to reunite with her long ago, how could he possibly pose a threat to me now?

At that moment, she ignored Lin Shushu.

That's true. He was locked up alone in a small courtyard since he was a child, so he didn't know anything when he grew up. Besides, she threw him to a desolate planet. Maybe his family of three generations would have been reunited long ago.

Ning Ya's thinking was correct; if Lin Shushu hadn't arrived, the situation would have been exactly as she had imagined.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as she wishes. The sins she committed must eventually be atoned for, either by herself or her family.
