Chapter 113 Go Back Alone

Chen Jiajie's WeChat profile picture glowed faintly in the dim light, and Qiu Ying's face turned even paler when she saw it.

Shen Feiwan continued, "Your son must have just received his recommendation for postgraduate studies in law school, right? A simple and kind college student, his future is bright..."

As she spoke, Shen Feiwan's voice suddenly dropped to a low hue, "You probably don't want him to be expelled from school for serious offenses? Like... fighting, fraud, assault, and so on..."

"You dare!" Qiu Ying gritted her teeth. "My son knows nothing, he's innocent!"

"Whether I dare or not depends on you." Shen Feiwan unlocked her phone's photo album and scrolled through a picture of Chen Jiajie helping an elderly person at a legal aid station. "How ironic, he helps strangers seek justice, while his own mother is a murderer."

"I am not a murderer, I have never killed anyone!"

"Then you're a cover-up criminal. In short, you're involved in that murder twelve years ago. Anyway, the choice is yours now. If you don't talk, I'll take my anger out on your son. You decide what to do. You should be able to tell I'm not joking, otherwise I wouldn't have chased you all the way here."

Qiu Ying didn't care about her own future, but she couldn't ignore her son.

After weighing her options, she spoke up, "I'll say..."

The sound she uttered was like sandpaper scraping against her throat. "Twelve years ago, on September 17th, I had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius and a severe case of the flu. I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed. But at that time, I had only just found that job with the Bo family. The benefits they offered were so good that I didn't dare take time off, afraid they would fire me. So my husband found someone from our hometown to cover for me for a few days. Anyway, I was only responsible for cleaning at that time, and the employer didn't care if I was replaced or not, as long as the work was done. I remember that woman's name was Xiao Gao."

“The next day, I was going to the hospital for a follow-up check-up when I suddenly realized that my ID card was not in my bag. I thought it might have been left in the servants’ quarters at the Bo family’s house, so I quietly went back. When I passed the west terrace of the main villa, I suddenly heard the First Madam scream, saying something like, ‘Do you think I really can’t do anything to you?’ I was curious, so I secretly went to see. Then I saw the First Madam grabbing Xiao Gao by the neck and pressing her against the railing. Xiao Gao struggled, they wrestled, and then… and then Xiao Gao fell from… the fourth floor.”

After Qiu Ying finished speaking, it was as if all her strength had been drained.

After listening, Shen Feiwan frowned, her knuckles tapping on the wooden table with a dull thud. "The First Madam you're referring to, is it Xu Ruoqing?"

"Yes."

In my previous life, I had already ruled out Xu Ruoqing from the very beginning!

If Qiu Ying wasn't lying, then I really was too careless.

Shen Feiwan narrowed her eyes and looked at Qiu Ying again, "Is there anything else you're hiding?"

“That’s all!” Qiu Ying assured him. “This is all I know. I wouldn’t joke about my son’s future. Oh, and I also have a video. I recorded this on a whim. I’ve long since discarded that kind of phone, but I kept the memory card. It’s in my suitcase. I can get it for you if you don’t believe me.”

As Qiu Ying spoke, she turned to leave.

Chen Youen grabbed Qiu Ying's wrist first, "Together. So you don't get away."

Qiu Ying did not struggle at all and led the two into her room.

After turning on the light, Qiu Ying quickly walked to the suitcase, took out an old memory card from the compartment, and handed it to Shen Feiwan.

Shen Feiwan handed the card to Chen Youen. Chen Youen took the card, quickly took out her device, and after some operation, the video started playing.

The scenes and dialogues in the picture are exactly the same as what Qiu Ying had described before.

After watching it only once, Shen Feiwan turned off the video. "No wonder Xu Ruoqing was so annoyed when I approached you."

However, upon closer reflection, she felt something was amiss. After all, even the old man didn't know that her biological mother, Gao Lanqing, had an accident in the Bo family back then, so Xu Ruoqing shouldn't know either.

However, she had already been careless and missed Xu Ruoqing once in her previous life, so she couldn't be so careless again this time.

"Did you say something to her? That I was asking you about what happened twelve years ago?" Shen Feiwan asked Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying shook her head. "No, I didn't say anything to her. After I resigned, I completely turned off my phone. I haven't contacted anyone except my husband. I only have that one phone, and as soon as I got back, I immediately changed to a local SIM card in town."

If Qiu Ying really only had one cell phone, then what she said earlier was true.

Shen Feiwan had monitored her phone, and she confirmed that she had not contacted anyone other than her husband.

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you,” Qiu Ying continued, “Madam… I mean Xu Ruoqing, she had no idea I had this video, nor did she know I was a witness to this incident back then. I didn’t want to lose my job, and after I inexplicably filmed this video, I was actually quite scared. I left without even taking my ID card.”

"Later, I even thought about deleting the video, but in the end I didn't. I just pretended nothing happened and went back to work as before. Mrs. Bo, believe me, I even gave you the video, and I really don't know much more. Please let my son go."

Shen Feiwan sized up Qiu Ying. "It would be too easy for me to trip up your son. You better not be lying to me."

"No, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! My son is my life, I would never risk his future."

"Okay, give me your phone. I need you to stay in touch with me at all times. You can't turn it off without a valid reason until this is resolved. You must be available whenever necessary. Can you do that?"

"Yes! I'll do anything you ask, as long as you don't hurt my son!"

As Qiu Ying spoke, she immediately took her phone out of her pocket.

Shen Feiwan gestured for Chen Youen to pick it up, and then continued to say to Qiu Ying, "You don't need to worry too much. I won't let you do anything immoral or immoral. My intention is not to hurt you or your family."

Ten minutes later, Shen Feiwan and Chen Youen returned to the car.

Chen Youen said, "Now we finally understand what happened. Why don't you go back to the Bo family tomorrow? I'll stay here and watch over Qiu Ying."

“Let’s go back together. Didn’t we already install tracking software on her phone? Her son is still studying in Nancheng, so we’re not afraid of her playing any tricks. Besides, that video is enough; there’s no point in keeping an eye on her anymore.”

"OK, I'll buy the tickets then."

“Wait a minute…” Shen Feiwan suddenly remembered something, “Why don’t you go back alone? I won’t go back to Nancheng first.”

"Why?... Oh, I remember now. To the outside world, you should be with Bo Junxing right now."

"Yes."
