Chapter 35: If you can't defeat her in questioning her, then that means you are a wimp, a lot of wimps...
When Ling Siyan and Ling Mo arrived home, Lu Xiao had already returned home from get off work.
He was chatting with Ling Yuan in the living room, and Ling Yi was sitting next to him playing with his phone.
When they entered the house, Zhao Qian was walking down the stairs in her high heels. Seeing them, she curled her lips and said, "Oh, you're back. Why did you come back with your brother today instead of your brother-in-law? Did you have a fight?"
Ling Siyan glanced at her and said, "So you and my brother quarrel every day?"
Ling Mo didn't even look at Zhao Qian. He hung his untied tie and suit jacket on the hanger and said, "I'm exhausted from working every day. I don't have the energy to argue with her. I usually don't bother to pay attention to her."
Ling Siyan raised her head and looked at Zhao Qian with deep meaning in her eyes.
Silence is better than words.
Zhao Qian’s face turned pale.
Ling Siyan sat on the single sofa next to Lu Xiao and the others. Lu Xiao immediately stood up and walked behind Ling Siyan to massage her shoulders. While massaging, he said, "You've worked hard all day. Let me massage you."
Ling Mo groaned and said to Ling Yi, "Look at your father, he's worthless."
Ling Yi tilted his head to look at him: "Uncle, are you jealous?"
Ling Mo stretched out his hand and pinched Ling Yi's face: "Little Ling Yi, you know what's going on but don't say it out loud?"
Ling Yuan couldn't bear to watch this, and slapped Ling Mo's hand away: "If you like to pinch me so much, go pinch your own face."
Ling Mo pouted, touched his face, and shook his head pretentiously: "It's not easy to pinch. It doesn't feel as good as little Ling Yi's face."
Ling Yuan patted the sofa on the other side of him and said, "Come, Yi'er, sit over here, away from your uncle."
Ling Yi did not hesitate for a second and sat on the other side under Ling Mo's eager gaze.
Ling Yuan ignored Ling Mo's antics and asked Ling Siyan, "I heard from Lu Xiao that you met human traffickers this afternoon?"
Ling Siyan hummed, observing Zhao Qian's expression with her peripheral vision, and said, "They have all been sent to the police station."
Ling Yuan frowned, "This shouldn't be the case! No human traffickers have dared to operate in City A for nearly ten years."
Ling Yuan is very sensitive to and hates the existence of "human traffickers".
Back then, his eldest daughter was abducted by human traffickers and disappeared, and his wife was in a car accident on the way to look for her eldest daughter.
Therefore, when Bai Shuxing was frantically cracking down on human traffickers, he also made a significant contribution behind the scenes.
"Didn't a philosopher once say that the troubled times with evil spirits running rampant are not to be feared; what is to be feared is the corruption of human hearts and the pursuit of profit above all else."
Ling Siyan said meaningfully: "As long as there is enough profit, there are many desperate criminals who disregard the law."
"What you mean is..." Ling Yuan said thoughtfully: "These people are not randomly abducted, but targeted and purposeful?"
The profits from human trafficking alone would not be enough to make people dare to risk their lives to commit crimes in City A, unless someone is offering huge benefits behind the scenes that are enough to make people take the risk.
Ling Siyan nodded and said, "That's right."
"So, the female artist you were going to sign had made an enemy with someone, which led to that person's reckless revenge?" Ling Yuan frowned.
Hearing this, Ling Siyan looked at Zhao Qian, who was looking down at a pile of documents. "According to my investigation, that female artist is popular in the industry. If there is anyone she has a conflict with, it is with the eldest sister-in-law. She once tried to stop the eldest sister-in-law from bullying newcomers, and the eldest sister-in-law probably held a grudge against her because of this. Since then, she has been targeting her everywhere and robbed her of many resources. The two are well-known rivals in the entertainment industry."
Zhao Qian was furious when she heard this. She threw the information in her hand and pointed at Ling Siyan, saying, "Ling Siyan, what do you mean? Are you saying that I hired the human traffickers? When did I target Qiao Shiyu? What do you mean I stole her resources? A bitch who climbed up the bed, is she worthy of my hatred? You are throwing dirty water on me with empty words. If you don't show me the evidence, I will never let you go today."
Ling Siyan raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qian, her expression very calm: "First of all, littering is not a good habit. Secondly, pointing at others is not something a well-educated person would do. Your Zhao family is not short of money, so didn't you ask someone to give you, sister-in-law, a course in etiquette training?"
"Finally, sister-in-law, you are too excited. I just said that you had a conflict with the female artist. I didn't say that the female artist was called Qiao Shiyu, nor did I say that it was the human traffickers you found. Sister-in-law, you are so eager to identify yourself——"
There was a hint of doubt and sharpness in Ling Siyan's eyes: "Are you feeling guilty?"
Zhao Qian's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly reacted: "What do you mean by 'I'm against the person'? Who else is my opponent besides Qiao Shiyu? You said she only had a conflict with me. What do you mean by doubting me?"
Then he looked at Ling Mo again: "Ling Mo, why are you so cowardly! You just watch people target your wife like this. We are husband and wife as one, if she treats you as her elder brother, she will not embarrass me, her sister-in-law, like this."
In Zhao Qian's eyes, Ling Siyan came back to compete with Ling Mo for the Ling family's property.
Ling Mo couldn't really welcome Ling Siyan back. Even though Ling Mo said nice things that day, he probably wanted to make the family restless.
The two of them must be just not in harmony with each other.
As long as there is a fuse, it will inevitably trigger a conflict between them.
There are no real brothers and sisters in wealthy families.
Her three brothers from her mother's side, all born to the same mother, were arguing with each other so much that they were almost becoming enemies.
Even though they always greet her with a smile and flatter her every time she comes back to her parents' home, once she is no longer useful, they will probably want to kick her as far away as possible.
Not to mention, Ling Siyan and Ling Mo are not biological siblings.
Although Ling Siyan is the biological daughter of the Ling family, it was Ling Mo who had been with Ling Yuan for so many years.
Ling Mo is also the person who has been running the group for so many years.
So what if Ling Siyan brings back a son with the last name Ling?
As long as this son is gone, and Ling Siyan is kicked out of the house, then this bitch will be at her mercy.
Thinking of the humiliation Ling Siyan inflicted on him in the office, hatred kept surging in his heart like a surging tide.
Ling Mo was trying to tease Ling Yi through Ling Yuan, but he didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "Why is Si Yan targeting you instead of me, dad, Lu Xiao, or little Ling Yi? I really think you should look for the reason within yourself."
"Besides, Siyan is just telling the truth. If you can't beat her in an argument, that means you are a rookie. If you are a rookie, you should practice more. It's no use looking for help! I can't beat her in an argument either."
I was already considering the possibility of divorcing Zhao Qian.
Dad shouldn't urge him to remarry, right?
With little Lingyi around, Dad doesn't have to worry about someone removing his oxygen tube when he gets old.
If he kept Zhao Qian, he felt that there was a greater possibility that she would pull out her own oxygen tube in the future.
Seeing Ling Mo's nonchalant look, Zhao Qian got furious and grabbed the cup beside her and threw it at Ling Mo: "Ling Mo, you bastard!"
Ling Mo was looking at Ling Yi and didn't see it at all, but Ling Yuan saw it, his face changed, and he instinctively reached out to block it.
Lu Xiao was quick to grab the watch on his wrist and threw it out, knocking the teacup down in mid-air.
Ling Mo heard the crisp sound of porcelain hitting the ground and turned around. He saw Ling Yuan trying to retract his hand. He then looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and his expression suddenly turned cold.
He looked at Zhao Qian straight in the eye for the first time today, his eyes were indifferent: "What are you crazy about?"
Zhao Qian was so angry that she didn't care about anything. She regretted it as soon as she threw the cup away. But when she saw Ling Mo's indifferent look, the anger in her heart was aroused again.
He sneered: "Even if I am crazy, it was you and your Ling family who drove me crazy. How come I didn't smash you to death!"
When Ling Siyan heard this, she grabbed the cup on the coffee table in front of her and threw it at Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian stood there blankly, watching the cup fly past her ear and fall to the ground with a crisp sound, then she screamed "Ah".
"From now on, don't talk, and disappear from my sight within a minute." Ling Siyan grabbed another cup in her hand: "Otherwise, this cup will fall on your head."
Zhao Qian met Ling Siyan's cold eyes and dared not say anything. She glanced at the few people one by one with resentment, picked up her bag and walked out.
***
"Lu Xiao, check Zhao Qian's cell phone to see if there are any clues." After returning to the room after dinner, Ling Siyan said to Lu Xiao.
Privately, Ling Siyan didn't even want to call her sister-in-law.
Lu Xiao's thick eyebrows twitched slightly: "Do you suspect that the people this afternoon were sent by her?"
"That's right." Ling Siyan nodded: "In the previous life, she was the one who had Lele kidnapped."
"Those people this afternoon were undoubtedly human traffickers, but I don't know why the time was advanced by two years."
Ling Siyan's eyes were cold. If she hadn't sent someone to protect Lele in advance, the assistant sent by Qiao Shiyu would definitely not be able to stop the group of people in the afternoon. If they succeeded and sent the people out of City A, it would be extremely difficult to find them in such a big world.
Lu Xiao said "hmm" and didn't say anything else. He took out his computer and started hacking into Zhao Qian's phone.
Ling Siyan waited quietly on the side.
After a while, Lu Xiao said, "She deleted the conversations with three different IDs three days ago and this morning. I will restore the deleted data."
Lu Xiao was typing rapidly on the keyboard.
Soon, Lu Xiao stopped and waved to Ling Siyan: "Come and take a look."
Ling Siyan put one arm around Lu Xiao's shoulders and put her head close to the computer screen.
Lu Xiao pointed to the top box: "This is the earliest conversation three days ago. It was sent by an ID with unknown identity information."
The moment Ling Siyan saw the message clearly, her pupils shrank.
[Qiao Shiyu has a daughter named Qiao Le, whose father is your husband, Ling Mo! ]
The following messages are all from Zhao Qian:
【Who are you? 】
【Why tell me this? 】
[How did you know? ]
The other party never responded.
After seeing these messages, Lu Xiao said in a deep voice: "Someone wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Ling Siyan's face darkened slightly, and she asked, "Can you find out the identity information of this person?"
