Chapter 607 Argument
The incident of Qiao Hong jumping off the building is neither a major nor a minor matter.
This case was not tried in public, so not many people know about it. After the hospital confirmed the death, the court still went through the legal procedures as usual.
That seemed to be the end of it.
But coincidentally, one of the people in the know in this matter happens to be a parent of one of the children who was involved in Lin Xi's case.
Actually, Mr. Feng had contacted him before, hoping that he could join him in suing Qiao Xing and muddy the waters of the matter.
But he refused. If this matter really blows up, he would be the one who suffers the loss.
He was very clear about the whole bullying incident. Although his own child didn't participate much, he still got involved.
So if a big commotion really breaks out, not only his children will be affected, but he might also lose his job.
However, in order to exonerate Feng Jiao, Mr. Feng spent a large sum of money to bribe the parents of those children, including this parent.
He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but after seeing Qiao Hong's accident, he suddenly felt compassion.
He knew this Qiao Hong; he'd heard he was Qiao Xing's father, but there didn't seem to be a deep family bond between them. He'd heard that Qiao Hong was facing imprisonment because of Qiao Xing.
Just then, Mr. Feng received a call. The parent told Mr. Feng, "If you really want your daughter to distance herself from this matter, targeting that little girl alone won't work. You need to start with her older sister."
After hearing this, Mr. Feng asked, "What do you mean?"
“I have a case here. The person involved jumped off a building for some unknown reason. I’ve gathered some information, and the man surnamed Qiao happens to be the father of Lin Xi’s sister, but he’s not Lin Xi’s biological father. The relationship is quite complicated and can’t be explained in a few words, but one thing is certain: the reason why the man surnamed Qiao jumped off the building must be related to Lin Xi’s sister.”
The parent left it at that, but he believed Mr. Feng would understand the rest of the meaning.
Sure enough, after a brief silence, Mr. Feng immediately said, "Okay! I understand!"
After he hung up the phone, he immediately had someone investigate the matter.
You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up, and what you found was quite shocking.
It turns out that Qiao Hong, who jumped off the building, was actually Qiao Xing's father, but it seems that Qiao Hong never cared about Qiao Xing since she was a child.
He had a new family and a son and a daughter. For many years, he had not contacted Qiao Xing. However, after learning that Qiao Xing had gotten married, he gradually reconnected with her.
Of course, it couldn't be because Qiao Hong felt sorry for the daughter he had abandoned for many years.
According to the information Mr. Feng obtained, it seems that Qiao Xing got married, and the person she married was of unusual status, so Qiao Hong wanted to get involved in their relationship.
Qiao Hong wanted to take advantage of the non-existent kinship between the two to gain benefits from Qiao Xing, but how could Qiao Xing possibly be willing to help him?
However, Qiao Hong refused to give up easily, and thus made one mistake after another, sinking deeper and deeper into the mire, eventually leading to an irreversible situation.
Actually, many other things happened. It's said that Qiao Hong got into those lawsuits because his wife was also involved.
However, Mr. Feng did not investigate thoroughly enough, and he was unclear about the specifics of the matter.
However, there is one thing he is certain of.
This Qiao Xing is not as simple as he seems at all.
She was able to effortlessly saddle Qiao Hong with millions or tens of millions in debt. This wasn't just because Qiao Hong brought it upon himself. If Qiao Xing truly didn't have that ability, why would Qiao Hong have taken such a huge risk to do this?
That parent was right; the key to solving this problem lies with Qiao Xing.
He must make use of this to completely change the situation.
Just as Mr. Feng was reviewing the documents, his wife suddenly pushed open the door and walked in with a cold expression.
They haven't spoken much since the argument they had at the hospital that day.
Firstly, Mr. Feng was busy dealing with Feng Jiao's affairs, while his wife had to take care of Feng Jiao in the hospital, so the two of them basically couldn't even see each other.
Feng Jiao woke up yesterday, and her wound was healing well, which relieved his wife. Today, he finally managed to find some time to go home.
"Are you still investigating that matter?"
Looking at his wife's expression, Mr. Feng felt inexplicably guilty and couldn't speak. He knew that his wife didn't want this matter to escalate, because she understood that even if those who hurt Feng Jiao paid the price, it wouldn't change the fact that Feng Jiao had done those suffocating things.
"I'm asking you a question!" The wife slammed her hand on the table in anger.
Mr. Feng then admitted, "Yes, I said I would never let the person who hurt Jiaojiao get away with it. You don't need to worry about this. Just stay at the hospital and take good care of Jiaojiao."
"The person who hurt Jiaojiao?" The wife looked at Mr. Feng in disbelief. "Have you forgotten that Jiaojiao was the one who started this? No matter how much you investigate, she is in the wrong. Do you really want to tell the whole world that your daughter bullied others at school? Have you thought about how she will stand on her own two feet in society in the future? She may be despised by people for the rest of her life!"
Mr. Feng frowned. "You can't say that. Yes, Jiaojiao bullied someone, but if word gets out, it'll just be considered a fight between classmates. But what about Lin Xi? She stabbed Jiaojiao with a knife. Wife, our child just went through the ordeal. Are you still Jiaojiao's biological mother? How can you not think about your daughter?"
Hearing this, the wife felt utterly exhausted. "I only didn't want you to continue investigating this because I was thinking of Jiaojiao. Don't think I don't know who Lin Xi is. That girl is autistic. You feel sorry for your daughter, but other people's daughters are also daughters. Just because Jiaojiao was hurt, does that mean you can erase the harm done to others?"
It's not that she doesn't love her daughter; she carried her for ten months and gave birth to her.
When she saw Feng Jiao lying unconscious on the hospital bed, her heart was broken.
But his wife also knew that it was because of his past neglect and indulgence that everything had happened.
She didn't know whether Mr. Feng was pursuing this matter for the sake of his daughter, as he claimed.
But if this matter continues to escalate, everyone will know about Feng Jiao's bullying. Feng Jiao has already paid the price for this, and she doesn't want to see her daughter spend her future days amidst controversy.
