"Boss Li, not long after I became the foreman, the old man fell ill, and you came back with the young mistress and the children. I know Liang Ruqi and Rao Yajing don't like the young mistress. They're worried that if she remarries you, she'll take her place as the head of the family. They deliberately ignored her and framed her. They even didn't cook for her several times and secretly made things difficult for her, just to make her feel bored and leave. I knew all this, but not only did I not tell you, I even secretly helped them. I deserve to die." Ah Zhen cried, "I'm sorry for the old man's kindness to me. I feel guilty. The young mistress is a good person, and I shouldn't have done her harm."
Li Zhenting had a blank expression on his face: "Let's get to the point. Why did you go upstairs that day to tell Chen Ning that I had an accident in the back mountain?"
When Ah Zhen heard this, she cried even harder.
"Master, it was Rao Yajing who asked me to go. She called me and asked me to go up and tell the young mistress."
"She just asked you to go up there and say these words? Nothing else?"
"No more." Ah Zhen shook his head. "Master, I didn't expect those words would make the young mistress so nervous that she actually ran to the back mountain. Besides, something did happen there at the time, and I didn't know what it was. After hearing what Rao Yajing said, I didn't think much about it and went up directly."
"Don't you know why they say that?"
"I don't know. She didn't tell me anything, she just asked me to say those words and gave me a red envelope of 500 yuan. I really didn't know that something so serious would happen later. If I had known this, I would never have said it. I admit that I was greedy for the 500 yuan at the time. In fact, I knew that Rao Yajing had bad intentions towards the young lady, and what she asked me to do might be detrimental to the young lady, but at the time I was greedy for money, and I really didn't know the consequences would be so serious. For a moment, I forgot about the benefits when I saw the money." Ah Zhen slapped himself directly, "Master, please forgive me. I have two children at home, as well as my parents-in-law, my parents, and they are all very old."
"If that's the case, then why did you resign? This little sin shouldn't scare you so much, right?" Li Zhenting asked sharply.
"Master, later I learned that the young mistress was terrified after falling off a cliff in the back mountain. I guessed it must have been related to Rao Yajing and the others. Later, I heard rumors that the young mistress had fallen to her death. I was terrified and couldn't eat or sleep. Then Rao Yajing found me. She asked me to resign immediately and threatened me not to tell anyone what she had told me to go upstairs to tell the young mistress, otherwise, she would have my legs broken. Then, she gave me a sum of money and asked me to leave the capital and return to my hometown to live. At this time, I thought that the young mistress's death must have been secretly caused by them. No matter what, I was also involved in this matter. If it was leaked, they would definitely break my legs. I didn't want to get into trouble. I had no choice but to resign, take the money and leave."
"How much did they give you?"
"Three hundred thousand."
"Where's the evidence of the money transfer?"
"Here."
Ah Zhen took out a bank card.
Li Zhenting took it out and saw that it was indeed the call he made to her the night before the meeting.
His eyes were cold as he said, "You have indeed committed a crime, and you are an accomplice to intentional injury. The real culprit has not been found yet. You are in danger now. You also know how vicious the people behind this are. The Li family treated you well, but you betrayed them and did something like this. I have no reason to protect you anymore. How about this? You should go to the police station and turn yourself in. It's safer there. Tell the police everything you know, and you can strive for leniency. When the case is closed, I will issue a letter of understanding. This is the best outcome for you."
