Chapter 224 The truth of that year
"It's been more than ten or twenty years since this happened. Who would still remember it? Stop talking nonsense to me!"
The middle-aged man lowered his voice and scolded.
The woman pursed her lips and muttered, "If no one remembered us, why would we have to hide for over a decade and even change our names?"
“Crack!”
At this moment, the door was opened from the outside.
Both of them were startled.
After a while, they saw a tall and slender figure walking in.
They watched Su He walk up to them.
The woman was wearing a camel-colored coat, her features were delicate and gorgeous, almost too beautiful to be true, but...
The coldness emanating from her was extremely oppressive and made people shudder.
The couple looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Su He looked at the two of them deeply, and then sat down on the sofa opposite them.
Just when the couple was feeling uneasy, Su He spoke.
"I'm sorry to have you two here in this way."
The couple was stunned when they heard her cold yet apologetic voice.
They didn't expect that her first words would be an apology.
The man reacted quickly. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no need to apologize. We are not hurt."
This woman was obviously a wealthy and powerful person. She exuded a noble aura, and they couldn't afford to offend such a person.
However, they didn't seem to have provoked such people before, so why did they bring them here?
"I want to ask, why did you bring us here? My husband and I have always been very responsible and have never caused any trouble," said the man.
Su He comforted them, "Don't be nervous. I called you here because I want to know something from you."
The man asked, "Wh...what's going on?"
Su He was silent for a few seconds, looking at them with a gloomy gaze. Her red lips moved slightly as she said four words: "Sister Qiu's matter."
Seeing their stunned expressions, Su He added, "Or I could change her name to Li Qiuju. This name should be familiar to you, right?"
The couple were both stunned. It was the first time in more than ten years that they heard an outsider mention their mother's name in front of them.
Su He was not in a hurry either. She had time to wait for them to recover.
After a long while, the man finally asked, "Who... who are you?"
Su He also answered his question patiently, "Sister Qiu used to be my mother's maid. She was the one who watched me grow up. After all, she took care of me for five or six years."
The man instantly knew who the woman in front of him was. His mother had only ever worked as a maid in one family's home in her life, and that was the An family in Yuecheng.
And the woman in front of him is from the An family.
Su He knew from the expression on his face and the emotions in his eyes that he had guessed who he was.
She smiled faintly and said, "You just need to tell me the truth about Sister Qiu's death."
After hearing this, the couple fell silent for a moment.
The two looked at each other.
Su He naturally also saw the worry and fear on their faces.
"Don't worry, no one will know that you saw me today." Su He said, "Even if you don't tell me today, I won't do anything to you. When I was little, Sister Qiu was very kind to me, so I naturally won't repay kindness with hatred. I just want the truth now and seek justice for my mother and Sister Qiu."
"The most important thing is that if this matter is resolved, your family won't have to leave your hometown, change your surname, and live in fear every day."
Su He's words were indeed heart-touching because they touched their hearts.
Over the past decade or so, they have indeed lived in fear every day, hiding in unfamiliar places.
The middle-aged woman was the first to be moved, mainly because she was really tired of hiding and living in anxiety every day, fearing that her whole family would be killed in the next second.
"Um... I, I said..."
Before she could even begin to speak, the middle-aged man stopped her, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The woman looked at her husband with slightly red eyes and retorted, "That's enough, Huang Zhong. I've been hiding with you for over a decade, changing my name and surname with my children. I've had enough of this! Even if you don't consider me or our children, you should at least consider the future generations of the Huang family, right? Do you still want your grandchildren to live in hiding? And, Mom died so unjustly, can you bear to watch her die? Do you know that I haven't had a single peaceful night's sleep in the past decade?"
Huang Zhong was stunned by his wife's sudden outburst of emotions.
Although my wife is usually a bit of a nagging person, she rarely gets angry.
"I……"
"If you don't tell me, I will."
Su He sat there quietly watching without interrupting.
After the woman finished speaking, she turned to look at Su He again. She calmed herself down before speaking, "If I tell you, can you guarantee the safety of our family?"
Su He said: "Of course, I have also asked people to secretly protect your son and daughter, so nothing will happen to them."
The woman said, "Okay, then I'll tell you everything."
"My mother-in-law's real cause of death wasn't a natural car accident. She was deliberately hit and killed, and the car accident was just a cover-up. When she left the An family, she was already prepared to face death. She knew she might not make it home safely, so she called us in advance and told us some things. She said that if she died one day, don't ask about the truth, because death is death. She also gave us some money and told us to take our children and leave our hometown and find a place where no one knows us. She also left us a set of information and a recording."
Su He frowned slightly: "Where are the information and recordings?"
The woman said: "We were afraid that it would be discovered, so we buried it in the ground with my mother-in-law's ashes."
Su He asked, "Do you all know the contents of that document and the recording?"
The couple nodded, "I know."
It was because they knew the contents that they hid in fear for more than ten years.
Su He did not ask them why they did not choose to submit the evidence to the police, because she knew very well that in this society where the strong prey on the weak, people without power can only choose to swallow their anger when faced with certain things.
——
Two days later.
Su He had just come out of the operating room when Jiang Feng was already standing outside waiting for her.
When he saw her come out, he went to greet her: "Young Madam, the things have been brought back."
Ten minutes later.
Su He's office.
She looked deeply at the yellowed document in front of her and the old-looking recorder in a plastic bag.
"Young Madam, I had someone check the recorder and it's not damaged," Jiang Feng said.
