Chapter 181 The Truth
Qi Jincheng looked at her with a firm gaze and said decisively, "I will always respect your decision. If you want to recognize him, I won't stop you, but I absolutely cannot let him hurt you."
Qiao Xi said rationally: "He told me some things about my mother. I believed it at first, but now I think about it, there are still many loopholes."
"I have to figure this out."
"I'll stay with you." Qi Jincheng held her hand tightly.
They calculated the time. At this time, there was no movement outside, which meant that Jiu Ye and Yan Luoheng had already left.
Qiao Xi and Qi Jincheng left the room together and walked outside.
Soon the bodyguards spotted them, "Hurry up, the lady is here."
The masked man then appeared in front of them. "Miss, why did you come out?"
Qiao Xi said calmly, "The person at the door fell asleep, so I came out for a stroll."
When they discovered Qiao Xi's presence, they went to the door to check what was going on. Someone immediately came back to report, "We checked, and he was knocked unconscious."
"Where are the other two?" asked the masked man.
The subordinate replied: "No trace."
"Miss, where are your two friends?" the masked man asked Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't know. Aren't they in there?"
"They were still there when we came out."
"Go find someone." The masked man signaled his men.
"Yes." The subordinate immediately took people to look for him.
The masked man gestured to Qiao Xi respectfully, "Miss, please go back."
"I have something to say to Wen Shaoqing." Qiao Xi said directly.
The masked man said knowingly, "Please wait a moment. I'll go and inform you."
"I'll wait for you." Qiao Xi said frankly.
Soon the masked man came back and took Qiao Xi to Wen Shaoqing's room, but Qi Jincheng was left outside.
"Daughter, do you have something to say to me?" Wen Shaoqing looked at Qiao Xi with a smile.
Qiao Xi couldn't laugh. "At this point, you don't need to hide it from me anymore."
The smile on Wen Shaoqing's face slowly froze at the corner of his mouth, and he asked, "What do you want to know?"
Qiao Xi didn't want to beat around the bush with him, so she asked directly, "Does mother's death really have nothing to do with you?"
Hearing this, a barely perceptible panic flashed across Wen Shaoqing's face. He angrily said, "Qiao Guangyuan was the one who caused the accident. You know that."
"Is that really the case?" Qiao Xi stared at him with scrutinizing eyes.
Although Wen Shaoqing didn't avoid her gaze, she could still see that he was guilty.
Qiao Xi continued, "What if I told you that the night before the car accident, my mother told me her last words?"
Wen Shaoqing was slightly startled and said, "What did you say?"
"Did you see her that day?" Qiao Xi said in a firm tone.
Wen Shaoqing couldn't help asking, "What did she tell you?"
Qiao Xi told him without reservation: "She told me to take good care of myself and also specifically told me to take good care of the necklace."
"Necklace?" Wen Shaoqing asked anxiously.
Qiao Xi nodded and said, "Yes, it's a necklace she gave me."
Wen Shaoqing hurriedly asked, "What does the necklace look like?"
Qiao Xi didn't answer his question directly, but instead asked him, "Did you meet her to find the necklace?"
Before she finished speaking, she felt that her expression was inaccurate and changed her words, "No, to be precise, you came for the things in the necklace."
