His words hit the nail on the head, and Wen Shaoqing couldn't deny them at all. He chose to play dumb, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying."

"Ninth Master has already gone to get that necklace for me." Qiao Xi decided to be definitive.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Wen Shaoqing asked, "Where?"

Qiao Xi used this as bait to threaten him, "Tell me the truth, and I'll tell you where the necklace is."

"Or, I can let her get the necklace and give it to you, but I need to know the real cause of my mother's death."

Wen Shaoqing said firmly, "It was Qiao Guangyuan who killed her."

"No!" Qiao Xi denied loudly.

Wen Shaoqing hesitated, as if she was on the verge of exploding in anger, but she still had to hold back.

Qiao Xi reminded him, "Think carefully before you speak, otherwise they might hand the necklace over to the police once they get it."

"You've been searching for it for so many years, are you satisfied?" she coaxed him gently.

Wen Shaoqing was going crazy. "Xiao Xi, don't force me."

Qiao Xi was in more pain than ever before. Even if he didn't say it, she already knew the truth.

His mother's death was inextricably linked to him!

"Tell me, how exactly did Mother die!" Qiao Xi shouted at him hoarsely.

Wen Shaoqing finally couldn't hold back any longer. She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "I reminded her that day. I reminded her that Qiao Guangyuan wanted to harm her and told her to be careful, but she didn't listen to me."

Qiao Xi didn't believe it would be that simple.

Wen Shaoqing controlled her emotions and emphasized, "I'm telling the truth."

“I saw Qiao Guangyuan tamper with her car, and I told her, but I don’t know why she still drives that car!”

Qiao Xi couldn't tell he was lying, but she still couldn't accept the truth.

She tried to calm herself down and asked, "What did you say to her the last time you met?"

Now that things had come to this, Wen Shaoqing had nothing left to hide. "I know the things are with her, and I want to get them back from her, but she won't give them to me."

"So you wanted to kill her," Qiao Xi said, going along with his point.

Wen Shaoqing vehemently denied it, saying, "I told you it wasn't me!"

"If I wanted to kill her, why wait until then?"

“Everything I told you is true, and my feelings for her are real, but she doesn’t understand me, and she’s unwilling to give me her things.”

Wen Shaoqing laughed, a self-deprecating laugh, "I didn't expect it to be that necklace."

"You've seen that necklace before." Qiao Xi had already sensed something.

Wen Shaoqing admitted, "That necklace was for her... it was the first gift I ever gave her."

He choked up as he spoke, and all the guilt he had felt in the past burst forth.

"I never expected her to give it to you as a gift, and to hide it in that necklace."

"Bastard!" Qiao Xi clenched her fists, wanting to smash them across his face.

Wen Shaoqing didn't want to think about that incident because he still couldn't understand it. "I really didn't know she would try to kill herself. I clearly told her."

"Of course you wouldn't know." Qiao Xi's eyes welled up with tears, but she held them back.

Wen Shaoqing no longer wanted to figure it out; all he wanted to do now was one thing.

He pleaded with Qiao Xi, "Xiao Xi, I've already told you. Can you contact your friend now and have her bring the necklace over?"

In that instant, Qiao Xi made a decision, "I also want to see that fortune, let's go together."
