1833 The Truth From 20 Years Ago



Wei Ying saw the girl pull out a chair and sit opposite her. Taking a deep breath and adjusting her mentality, she forced herself to soften her tone and reason with the other party.

"Qiao Nian, your future is already bright. Why do you have to get involved in this?! Your future achievements won't be low as long as you pretend that nothing happened…"

"The muddy waters you're talking about concern my biological mother." The girl's voice was low and hoarse as she reminded her casually. She didn't really want to talk nonsense with her. Thus, she said concisely, "Since you asked me out, you must have thought it through. Since you've thought it through, don't waste our time.

"Tell me, who instigated you in the first place?"

Previously, Qiao Nian had asked Wei Ying about the recording, but she refused to admit it.

She did not probe further.

It was mainly because she hadn't investigated whether her mother was related to the Independent Continent.

Now she figured it out.

Ji Qing was from the Independent Continent's Ji Family!

In that case, there were some things that she should settle later. Of course, she wouldn't leave anyone out.

Back then, Ji Qing had encountered a very serious plane crash. Although she did not die, it was a close thing.

She knew that Wei Ying had been involved in this matter through the recording in the plane's black box Ye Wangchuan found. Just because she had not pursued the matter previously did not mean that she had stopped investigating.

She had been investigating the cause of her mother's death ever since she returned from the Independent Continent.

It was the same now.

This matter was about to become her obsession.

At the very least, she had to get to the bottom of this.

"Qiao Nian, why must you…"

The girl impatiently interrupted her before Wei Ying could finish speaking. "I'm giving you a chance. You can choose not to tell me. I can find out for myself. It'll just take some time. Of course, by then, the debt you owe won't be settled so easily."

Wei Ying looked at her with fear and hesitation.

In the past, no matter how Qiao Nian threatened her, she would never reveal that secret. Otherwise, not only she, but the Wei family might also suffer.

But now, it was not up to her.

Wei Ying's gaze flickered as she stared at the girl in front of her with fear and uneasiness.

Qiao Nian could even send Jiang Xianrou to prison.

The He family was also on the verge of destruction…

She really didn't have the confidence to fight her to the end.

After all, she had a grudge against her.

Even if she didn't think for herself, she had to think for her family.

In particular, Qiao Nian still had something on Wei Qi. Back then, she hadn't handed over all the evidence. Otherwise, Wei Qi would have been sentenced to life imprisonment or even worse…

Wei Ying took a deep breath.

She came to a decision quickly.

"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone I said it. Otherwise, my family… will be in trouble too."

Wei Ying was really worried about this. Everything had not gone smoothly for her recently, and she had aged a lot. Her previously gray hair had long turned white, and she looked more than ten years older.

At this moment, Wei Ying gritted her teeth and used her last trump card. "Aren't you on good terms with Wei Lou? If the Wei family is unlucky, he will be unlucky too. You don't want things to end up like this, right?"

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and rested her chin on her cold hand. She didn't pour herself a glass of water. She didn't say whether she agreed or not. She only said calmly, "Go ahead."

Wei Ying could only take it that she had agreed and heaved a sigh of relief.

After a pause, she tightened her scalp and mustered her courage, then slowly said, "I only provided her itinerary. I didn't participate in the rest. I was not qualified to participate."
