Chapter 530 Finding Someone to Talk To
Jiang Ruan was still worried.
The Xiao He she remembered was quite different from the one beside Qin Luofeng; she could almost imagine that when she went to find her, she would pretend not to know anything.
"Are we going today?" Tang Bai asked.
"Let's wait until Mo Mo has investigated thoroughly before we proceed," Jiang Ruan said, not wanting to rush into anything.
Mo Mo found out the truth on Thursday noon.
He told Jiang Ruan about He Jia's background, and after hearing everything, Jiang Ruan decided to meet her.
That afternoon.
They went to He Jia's workplace.
She worked as Qin Luofeng's assistant at a company under his name.
Jiang Ruan didn't go upstairs; she sat in a coffee shop and made a phone call to her.
He Jia felt a moment of nervousness when she saw that it was her calling.
She quickly opened Qin Luofeng's contact information and sent him a message: [Boss, Jiang Ruan called me, should I answer?]
Qin Luofeng: [Whatever you say.]
He Jia's palms were a little sweaty. After thinking it over, she still answered the call, her tone the same as always: "Sister Jiang Ruan?"
"Are you busy?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"It's alright, not too busy." He Jia tried her best to keep her breathing normal, not wanting to be misunderstood. "What's wrong?"
"I'd like to meet with you to discuss something." Jiang Ruan's tone was calm, but carried an invisible pressure.
He Jia: "Okay, when?"
Jiang Ruan: "Now."
He Jia was taken aback.
Before she could think further, Jiang Ruan continued, "I'm at the coffee shop across from your company, on the second floor by the window. You can just come over."
"How did you know..." He Jia was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered Jiang Ruan's identity.
She is a shareholder and director of the Qin Group.
She is Mr. Qin's granddaughter.
Finding out where she works is incredibly easy.
"Okay," she agreed. "I'll take a day off and come right away."
As soon as she hung up, she immediately dialed Qin Luofeng's number.
The other end answered quickly, with a rather cold tone: "What is it?"
“Jiang Ruan asked me to meet her now.” He Jia thought about what had happened before and made a guess, “She probably wants to talk to me about what happened with her mother back then, and how I should talk to her.”
"You were the one who hit her mother with your car." Qin Luofeng didn't say it explicitly, but only reminded her, "You can say whatever you want, but different words will have different consequences."
In short.
He Jia understood instantly.
She suppressed her emotions: "So, about the time I hit her outside the old house, do you have to admit it was me?"
"It's up to you." Qin Luofeng gave her all the choices, "but she definitely knows it's you."
He Jia said "okay".
Ten minutes later.
She went to Jiang Ruan's place wearing her work clothes.
When she appeared, Jiang Ruan looked her over. She was different from the innocent and naive Xiao He from before, and also different from the capable and ruthless hit-and-run driver from that night.
Now, she treats her more like a leader when they meet.
"Sister Jiang Ruan," He Jia greeted her warmly upon meeting her, just as she had on the phone. "Long time no see."
Jiang Ruan: "Not long ago, didn't we just meet a while ago?"
He Jia looked completely bewildered: "Huh?"
here we go again.
The expression of a naive newbie.
If she hadn't been scammed once before, she probably would have fallen for it again.
"Didn't you hit me with your car outside the Qin family's old house?" Jiang Ruan didn't beat around the bush at all; with her current status, she didn't need to mince words.
"When did I..." He Jia looked blank, then seemed to remember something and exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, "Was it you sitting in the Third Young Master's car at that time?"
Jiang Ruan just stared at her.
She's quite a good actress.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that person was you." He Jia looked flustered, like a child who had done something wrong. "The headlights were too bright and it was too dark outside the headlights, so I didn't see clearly. If the Third Young Master's secretary hadn't come out to talk to me, I wouldn't have known it was the Third Young Master's car."
Jiang Ruan didn't say anything.
I think she's not only good at acting, but also at making excuses.
He Jia: "You called me that night because you thought I deliberately hit you?"
"Yes," Jiang Ruan admitted.
"It's a misunderstanding!" He Jia said quickly, her expression very sincere. "If I had known it was you sitting inside, I would have apologized to you properly and treated you to a meal to make amends."
"What about my mother?" Jiang Ruan asked.
He Jiayi.
He looked like he hadn't expected her to ask that.
She said with a face full of guilt, "I'm very sorry about what happened to Aunt Jiang. If I hadn't gone to drive and had practiced driving properly first, none of this would have happened."
“If you need me to take care of your aunt, I’ll quit my job right now.”
“I don’t need you to take care of her.” Jiang Ruan looked into her eyes as she said this, exposing her without the slightest hesitation. “I want you to turn yourself in.”
"What?" He Jia asked in surprise.
“Explain to the police that you committed intentional murder,” Jiang Ruan said.
He Jia: "?"
He Jia looked completely bewildered: "Murder?"
He Jia's complexion visibly worsened: "I mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, it was absolutely not intentional, didn't we make that clear back then?"
"You'll get a lighter sentence if you turn yourself in," Jiang Ruan advised. "If I take you to court, that's a different story."
"Sister Jiang Ruan, did I do something to upset you?" He Jia asked, looking confused and nervous, her eyes filled with apprehension. "If you're bothered that I bumped into the Third Young Master's car and ruined your mood, I can apologize to you."
"Qin Luofeng is your boss," Jiang Ruan revealed, "He ordered you to crash into him, didn't he?"
He Jia shook her head.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was starting to panic inside.
She had expected Jiang Ruan to ask about this, but she didn't expect her to ask so directly.
“I know it’s been tough for you, earning money to support your family and pay for your brother’s schooling.” Jiang Ruan said slowly, “But think about it carefully, what would your brother think of you if he knew you hurt someone and ran away?”
"Sister Jiang Ruan, I really didn't do it," He Jia said quickly. "If I had done it, I would definitely admit it..."
“Don’t rush to deny it. I’ll come to you to show that I’ve collected almost all the evidence,” Jiang Ruan said. “I’ve been talking to you for so long only because you spent a few months in the hospital back then.”
“If you don’t want to plead guilty, I won’t force you. You can just wait to receive a court summons.”
He Jia's feelings were complicated.
If she confesses, what will happen to her family? What will happen to her brother?
If the boss finds out she betrayed him, he definitely won't let her off the hook.
"Also, a reminder," Jiang Ruan said unhurriedly, "Qin Luofeng and the Qin family head will soon find out that I'm looking for you. Guess what measures they will take."
"What..." He Jia was subconsciously led away by her.
“The Qin family head even wants to get rid of me, his niece,” Jiang Ruan said, enunciating each word clearly. “Let alone someone like you, a pawn who might betray them at any moment.”
This moment.
He Jia's face turned deathly pale.
Over the years, she has done a lot of things with her boss and has seen all sorts of different situations.
Some of them were sealed...
"Take your time to think it over." Jiang Ruan stood up, not intending to waste any more time. "Contact me anytime you've figured it out."
