After a moment of thought, Yan Xia forced a bitter smile.
"Come to think of it, almost all my relatives have died because of this. With things like this, can't I be curious?"
When she confronted Long Tao yesterday, in a moment of desperation, she revealed her true feelings. Instead of filming Lu Qianzhou for evidence as planned, she shifted the camera. All the policemen saw this.
After all, she used to have a special relationship with Lu Qianzhou. It was understandable that Shangguan Yao suspected she had softened her heart.
"We haven't found any substantial and useful information for the time being, but I can tell you that this matter is related to Lu Qianzhou's mother." Shangguan Yao pondered. "Since the mastermind behind this told you that he was seeking justice and knew the inside story of that incident back then, it means that the case is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There must be a hidden truth behind it. I'll investigate in this direction."
Yan Xia's heart trembled slightly.
"What happened to Lu Qianzhou's mother?"
Shangguan Yao said, "I won't tell you now. Anyway, it's not a good thing. The Lu family has completely blocked all the news and won't let anyone mention it. You'll know when the truth comes to light."
This ambiguous answer only piqued Yan Xia's curiosity even more.
Shangguan Yao exhorted her, "You need to pay attention to your safety. Don't go out alone recently. The storm from Lu Huairen has just passed. It's better to be careful in everything."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Xia sat there lost in thought.
It was no use regretting now. The choice was hers, and the words were spoken by her. When one suffered the consequences of one's own actions, no one could save her.
...
Today was the day Jiang Yue was discharged from the hospital. Since Lu Qianzhou had mercilessly decided to cut off all ties with her, Jiang Yue had been listless, unable to eat or sleep. She cried day and night and suffered from insomnia. After these few days of torment, she had lost a lot of weight.
Jiang's father and mother felt sorry for her and decided to let her be discharged from the hospital and go home early. After all, it was more comfortable at home than in the hospital. Maybe being back in a familiar place would improve her condition.
Surrounded by her parents, Jiang Yue left the hospital. She wore a big wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a mask, covering herself tightly as she walked out of the hospital.
After getting in the car, they headed straight for the Jiang family's residence. The days of insomnia had made her extremely tense. She sat in the car, dazed for a while, and then actually fell asleep.
Jiang's father and mother felt sorry for her. Seeing that she had finally fallen asleep, they didn't wake her up immediately when they got home. Instead, they asked the driver to drive around the neighborhood for a few more circles until Jiang Yue woke up on her own.
Back in her familiar room with her parents' company, Jiang's mother felt sorry for how thin she had become.
A pure and innocent girl had gone through such a change and was cruelly abandoned by Lu Qianzhou.
The doctor said that if Jiang Yue continued in this state, she might develop a tendency towards suicide and depression in the long run. So the two elders were even more cautious and never left her side. Even when they both had work and couldn't accompany her, they would ask the servants to watch her closely.
Jiang Yue felt exhausted. After getting home, she fell on the bed and fell asleep again.
Jiang's father and mother finally had a moment to relax. What they didn't know was that just as they left the room and closed the door, Jiang Yue opened her eyes.
As if after much deliberation, she took out her phone, found a strange number from the call log, and dialed it.
The man's voice, which sounded a bit strange because of the voice changer, rang in her ear.
"Miss Jiang, have you finally made up your mind?"
Jiang Yue hugged her phone and curled up on the bed, burying her face in her legs. These days, she had always felt extremely insecure and liked to curl herself into a ball.
She gasped lightly. No matter what, she felt oppressed and suffocated. The incident on the rooftop that day was like a nightmare that haunted her and almost drove her crazy.
"I can help you arrange a meeting with Cheng Yanxia, but how can you guarantee that you can get rid of Cheng Yanxia without implicating me and make her disappear forever?"
This call came from one she received in the hospital ward. One night, the nurse on duty had fallen asleep. She was so oppressed that she couldn't fall asleep and received this mysterious call.
That person talked to her in a very determined and considerate tone, saying that he could help her get rid of Cheng Yanxia. She had always been afraid to think too much, afraid of making the same mistake again, so she had never agreed.
But now that she was home, perhaps in a place where she felt safe, her hatred had risen sharply and submerged her deeply. Hatred had made her lose her sanity.
She would never let Cheng Yanxia off so easily. She must make her pay the same price, make her suffer everything she had suffered. She also wanted someone to film a video and spread it everywhere so that everyone could see her disgrace and drag her into hell. Only then could she vent her hatred!
"You can choose to trust me, because besides this, you don't have a better way to vent your hatred. If you don't get rid of her, this person will always be a thorn in your side. Every time you see her, it will make you suffer so much that you'll wish you were dead."
Jiang Yue's hands trembled slightly. "What do you get out of helping me like this?"
The man laughed. "You know about the Lu family's incident many years ago. Cheng Yanxia is now a key figure. As long as we can control her, we can control the whole situation. Anything that can make them suffer is what I want to do."
Suddenly hearing the other person mention the incident many years ago, Jiang Yue's heart filled with hatred.
Yes, she knew about the incident many years ago. Lu Qianzhou hated her, just like those people who had abandoned him at a critical moment. But what did it have to do with her? She was just a little girl back then.
Why should a little girl who knew nothing back then bear all this?
Jiang Yue had already made up her mind and asked the last question. "Who are you?"
The other person said, "I want to bring the incident many years ago to light. I'm just seeking justice."
Jiang Yue just assumed that this person was one of the many admirers of Lu Qianzhou's mother back then and was just indignant because of her death.
She didn't think much about it. The most important thing now was to drag Cheng Yanxia into hell.
So she said, "Remember what you promised me today. I'll arrange a meeting with Cheng Yanxia. You remember to deal with her cleanly. I don't want to see this person alive in this world anymore."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
That person was right. For her now, anything that could make Cheng Yanxia suffer was what she wanted to do.
Jiang Yue had been looking for a suitable opportunity, but her family was watching her too closely.
In her current mental state, her parents would never let her go out alone. If she wanted to do these things without being discovered, she could only do them secretly behind their backs.
Finally, Jiang Yue seized an opportunity.
After acting obedient and stable for several days in a row, her parents had relaxed their vigilance. After they left, there was only one servant watching her.
