Chapter 178 The truth of that year, a punch into the family



Coming to Yiry Mater again, my mood is quite different from last time.

Last time I came here to hang out with my friends, I didn’t have any serious thoughts, so I found everything very interesting.

This time I came here to take care of some serious business, so I walked in a hurry the whole time, and the exquisite decorations around me were no longer pleasing to my eyes.

Quan Zhilong originally wanted to come with Shen Jiezhu, but she refused.

Once the Metaphysics Association starts to deal with a long-standing unsolved case, many people will definitely be involved. Those who were able to suppress the case a few years ago must have unusual backgrounds.

She didn't want Quan Zhilong to be involved.

He just needs to shine on the stage.

As soon as she entered the private room, the first thing Shen Jiezhu saw was the pile of cash spread out on the table, covering the entire table.

Like a wall, it blocked most of the bodies of Qi Jing and An Shang on the sofa. Chi Changxian was sitting on the other side flipping through files, and Li Taizheng was also there.

Seeing Shen Jiezhu coming, several people stood up immediately.

"Senior sister."

"Master."

Shen Jiezhu nodded at them, and when Qi Jing and An Shang made way for them, she sat in the middle of the sofa, which was also the center of the room.

The man standing on the other side watched her expression carefully, then filled the glass in front of her with wine, with a flattering smile on his face.

"President Shen, please~"

The scene was really ironic. There was no place to put the wine glass, so it could only be placed on the pile of money, like a flag standing in front of her, reminding her that as long as she showed leniency, she would be able to get a lot of money.

Sister Shen glanced at him lazily, raised her hand to pick up the wine glass, shook it and said: "This glass is taller than me, quite interesting~"

An Shang and Qi Jing on both sides understood what she meant immediately. They pushed the money on the table to the ground with a quick push. In a short while, they cleared the table.

Shen Jiezhu then took a sip of wine with satisfaction, put down the glass, looked at the man's complicated face, and smiled.

"To be honest, your reason really moves me. Tell me your conditions and maybe we can have a discussion."

This……

Is it so direct?

The man was stunned. He had come into contact with people from wealthy families before and had a lot of experience in negotiating terms. Most people would just chat casually first and then get down to business, using a joking approach.

No one has ever asked a question as directly as Shen Jiezhu did, and in front of so many people.

The people in this box now should all be members of the Metaphysics Association, right?

Is she so sure these people won't tell on her?

Sensing the man's concern, Shen Jiezhu chuckled: "These are all my disciples, I'm sure they will keep it a secret. What we talked about here today, they will forget once they leave this door."

The man was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered all the previous reforms of the Metaphysics Association. He pulled down Director Zheng to make a warning, and then replaced the older generation of directors with young people. Wasn't this series of actions just to cultivate their own people?

Now Che Chengzheng stood firmly on her side.

Director Ji did not say a word against anything Ji Chang Hyun did because of her kindness to her.

Master Cui Zhen owed her a favor, so he let her do whatever she wanted.

The newly appointed Feng Shui Museum director, in order to protect his position, did not have the courage to confront her.

From this perspective, the current Metaphysics Museum has become a one-man show controlled by Shen Jiezhu.

This time she cooperated with the government to overturn the verdict, and earned the government's support and the public's praise...

She didn't suffer any loss at all.

Asking her for help myself is undoubtedly the right choice, but I don't know if she can agree to it.

"Since President Shen has said so, I will definitely believe in your disciples, haha. This is what I mean. I am now a member of Wulong Village..."

The man smiled to lighten the mood and then began to talk about his situation.

In the huge box, only his voice was rising and falling. Shen Jiezhu listened to his description quietly and roughly understood his situation.

He is a member of Wulong Village, but has never been involved in human trafficking. The reason he went there was because he was almost killed by Jiang Hengtai's men after helping him.

Helplessly, he could only run all the way to Wulong Village, where he found a few big brothers and together they opened a casino in the back mountain to make money.

He had not told anyone in Wulong Village about this matter. Only he and those big brothers knew about it. The people who came to the casino were those who would never pay attention to Wulong Village on weekdays.

After the incident in Wulong Village was exposed, everyone in Wulong Village was investigated. He had hidden for such a long time with great difficulty, but before he could escape, he was discovered by Jiang Hengtai.

Because he has evidence in his hand, Jiang Hengtai's goal is to kill him. After thinking about it, he thinks that the only way to survive now is to hand the things to Shen Jiezhu, and then use her to pull Jiang Hengtai down from that position. Without power and money, he will be a useless man.

In this way, his life was saved.

After hearing what he said, Shen Jiezhu lifted her curtains and looked at him calmly: "Is it that simple? My friend, you have to be sincere when discussing cooperation, otherwise we may not be able to discuss anything."

The man hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "I have one more condition. You can get involved in this matter in Wulong Village. I want you to help me get out of this matter and keep my casino from being discovered by the police."

"There are quite a lot of conditions. The matter in Wulong Village is not difficult for me, but as for whether you can save your life, it depends on whether the things in your hand are valuable enough."

The man confidently took out his phone and clicked on a video: "This is a clip from a video, just a small clip. After watching it, President Shen, you will believe how important what I have in my hand is."

He was so overconfident that Shen Jiezhu's heart suddenly became nervous.

The feeling that the truth is about to be revealed is really exciting...

After a pause, she finally reached out and took his phone.

Click to play. This is a video without sound. It is only twenty seconds long, very short.

The length of the video was not important. What was important was the person on the screen. She was so shocked that she was speechless. She actually saw herself on the screen...

No, in preparation, I should have seen the original owner.

The heroine in a red dress was strangled by a scarf around her neck and pressed to the ground until she stopped breathing and fell limply to the side.

!!!

Didn’t the original owner commit suicide?!

She was strangled to death! She was framed as committing suicide!

Shen Jiezhu's face turned ugly in an instant, and the hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily. The veins on the back of her hand bulged and her fingertips turned white.

She gritted her teeth, her body tensed up for a moment, and then trembled slightly.

Qi Jing didn't know what she saw, but this situation was obviously wrong. He opened his mouth with some worry and called out, "Senior Sister."

"You two go out for a moment. I have something to say to him."

Shen Jiezhu didn't raise her head. Her voice was trembling, as if she was suppressing some emotion.

Several people looked at each other and quietly left the box.

Now there are only two of them left in the room.

"President Shen, it was like what you saw. He found the personal property that President Jiang left for you. His identity was awkward. If you didn't die, he would never be the first heir. I received his instructions at the time to deal with you, and then faked that you hanged yourself. I didn't do it myself, but I have to admit that I was the one who hung the scarf."

Shen Jiezhu put her phone on the table and looked at him directly: "How can I be sure that this video is not fake?"

"I can tell you all the details of what happened, and I have a longer video."

Shen Jiezhu looked at him and held out her hand: "I need to make sure you are not lying."

The man looked at her in confusion, then extended his arm. Shen Jiezhu pinched his wrist and spoke again as if she could feel his heartbeat: "Okay, now you can describe the details of that time."

A strange feeling flashed through the man's mind, but he didn't take it seriously. Soon, he recounted the details of what happened.

Shen Jiezhu's hands became colder and colder, until she finally let go of his wrist, and she was completely dazed.

What he said is true...

She actually saw what happened.

The person who took the lead in doing this was Jiang Hengtai's personal assistant! The original owner opened the door because she knew this assistant. She thought he was here to deliver something, and happily let him in.

But she never expected that the person she trusted the most would take her life. She struggled hard, cried for help, but was still strangled to death, hanging on her favorite green scarf.

Has the affection among wealthy families reached this level?

No wonder Jiang Hengtai looked at me with such complicated eyes, no wonder he breathed in relief when he knew he really had lost his memory, no wonder he carried the amulet with him at all times.

She originally thought that he had done something wrong to the original owner, but she didn't expect that he would take her life!

Kang Hyung-tae, ah, Kang Hyung-tae!

During this time, how did you feel when you saw your sister, whom you killed, sitting in front of you and eating?

So that's how it is...

No wonder.

The things that didn't make sense at first seem to be clear now.

Jiang Hengtai, in order to obtain the right of inheritance, personally sent someone to kill the original owner.

Unfortunately, the original owner trusted him and let his assistant in.

It took Shen Jiezhu a long time to digest this information. The man did not say anything, but waited quietly by the side. About half an hour later, Shen Jiezhu finally spoke.

"The man in the video is just an assistant. What evidence do you have to prove that he ordered his assistant to do this? You have been around him for so long, you should know that if there is no evidence against him, he can always find a scapegoat. Then, you will be in even greater danger."

The man nodded: "When the assistant was working with me, I placed a bug in him. I have sufficient evidence to prove that Jiang Hengtai was the mastermind behind this!"

"Okay!" Shen Jiezhu agreed very straightforwardly: "From now on, Wulong Village will have nothing to do with you."

The man took out his cell phone with a smile and turned off the recording interface.

"President Shen, don't mind. This is a habit I've had for so many years. It's all for the sake of survival. What you want is here."

The man handed her the briefcase containing the cell phone.

"All the documents and information, including the people the assistant had contacted, their current situations, where they died, and where they were buried, are all recorded there. The videos and audio recordings are all in the USB drive, which also contains my business card. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

The man put down his things and left the box.

Shen Jiezhu took out the qualification documents and took a look at them. Finally, she picked up her bag and walked out of the private room.

"Master, are you okay?"

Chi Chang Hyun came up with some concern, Shen Jiezhu shook her head: "Dispose of the money in it and donate it to people in need. You should have heard the man's request just now. Tell him to take him out."

"I'll do it right away!"

An Shang obeyed her unconditionally. Although he didn't know what was going on, he believed that she was right.

The man must have exchanged something important with her.

It must be like this!

"Sister, how about I take you back? I see you don't look well."

Qi Jing was very worried about Shen Jiezhu's condition. In his impression, his senior sister had never been so dazed and shocked before, as if she had heard some unbelievable news and was too upset to calm down.

Shen Jiezhu shook her head and rejected him.

"I'm not going back now. I'm going to my old house. It's okay. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

After saying this, Shen Jiezhu turned and left.

An hour later, she was sitting in the empty living room, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar home in front of her, trying hard to recall every detail of the past.

Her mother died when she was young.

The nanny at that time was always fierce and said that it was she who killed my mother.

The nanny blamed her for being disobedient, noisy, ignorant, and always thinking about playing. She only ranked among the top few in the exam and could not get first place, so her mother was angry. People are prone to illness when they are angry. Her mother died of illness, and she was the indirect murderer!

She was still young at that time and could not discern the malice in the nanny's words. Everyone was busy with her mother's affairs at the time, and no one noticed that under the nanny's suppression and blaming, her emotions became more and more extreme and her mental state became worse and worse.

She always had nightmares, always saw her mother angry, and always woke up crying in her dreams.

She lived in regret and pain for a year.

A year later, a new stepmother came to the family, bringing with her an older brother.

She completely broke down, had a complete quarrel with her father, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

She was alone for more than ten years, but the assistant was her classmate. He always gave her gifts and stayed with her when she was sad. He also spent several of her birthdays with her.

The original owner trusted him immensely and believed that he was her best friend here and in the world, so that night, she opened the door to her good friend.

Unexpectedly, her good friend turned out to be the brother's assistant, who had lied to her for so long and even wanted to kill her according to her brother's instructions.

After being betrayed by friends and hurt by family, the original owner was completely devastated and had given up on relationships, so much so that he blocked his memories of this aspect before losing consciousness.

She used this method to protect herself from being hurt by her family and friends.

Facts have shown that a person's strong thoughts before death can really stimulate the brain nerves to enter the self-protection mechanism.

Shen Jiezhu has been in her body for such a long time and has tried to remember her past countless times, but was blocked every time.

If she hadn't seen the video and those scenes today, she might never have thought of them.

When the missing memories were completed, Shen Jiezhu suddenly felt a real heartache. She put her hands on her heart, bent down and took a deep breath, as if to ease the heart-piercing pain.

“Hoo…Hoo…”

All senses were paralyzed by the pain.

She could only hear her own rapid breathing, and her heart seemed to be grasped by someone, beating more and more violently. Shen Jiezhu was not a person who could endure pain very well, and soon, a layer of mist covered her eyes.

In a trance, she seemed to see the process of the original owner from resistance to loss of consciousness. The hands that struggled hard and grabbed the scarf finally fell down powerlessly.

"ah!"

The pain in her heart reached its peak at this moment, and soon she fell to the ground, looking at the ceiling, sweating profusely.

The pain passed, and all the original owner's emotions seemed to have left his body at that moment.

Shen Jiezhu lay on the ground for a long time, until her body was almost stiff. Just when she closed her eyes and was tired enough to fall asleep, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Zhuzhu!"

Quan Zhilong received a call from Qi Jing and learned that Zhuzhu was not in good condition, so he went to the original house.

The wizarding house had a spare key, so Quan Zhilong rushed back to get the key. When he arrived at the door, there was no sound at all.

He didn't dare to rush in, so he could only wait at the door for her to come out.

But half an hour had passed and Shen Jiezhu had not come out yet. Thinking of how she had fainted at the door of the practice room, he was so scared that he rushed in without thinking.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he actually saw the same scene as last time.

Shen Jiezhu lay quietly on the ground, motionless.

"Zhuzhu!"

"Oppa? Why are you here?"

"I heard Qi Jing's condition was not right. What happened? Zhuzhu, why did you come here so late? You were crying and your eyes are so swollen..."

Quan Zhilong looked at Shen Jiezhu's red and swollen eyes with heartache and held her in his arms.

"Zhuzhu, no matter what happens, you can tell me. I'm your boyfriend. I can bear it with you, and we can find solutions together if there are any problems."

Shen Jiezhu closed her eyes silently and put her ear on Quan Zhilong's chest. The sound of his heartbeat made her feel endless security.

"Oppa, I just remembered something I forgot before..."

In the end, she kept her time travel a secret, saying only that she had lost her memory due to trauma.

She told Kwon Ji-yong all the hardships the original owner had experienced, and it was the first time she was so frank with him, including how Kang Hyung-tae attacked her and how he got the evidence.

Sister Shen nestled in Kwon Ji-yong's arms and could clearly feel that when she talked about Jiang Hengtai, the arms that were restraining her sides tightened instantly.

"Zhuzhu, are you saying that he wants to kill you?!"

Quan Zhilong's voice was full of shock.

Shen Jiezhu nodded and took out all the evidence: "It's all here."

Quan Zhilong took the document, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy, until finally, he closed the document and looked up at Shen Jiezhu.

"Zhuzhu, do you believe me?"

Shen Jiezhu nodded without hesitation.

"Well, since Jiang Hengtai was able to take action against you, he will definitely investigate your whereabouts now. I will handle this matter. I know the prosecutors and reporters. As long as you nod, this matter can be exposed at any time."

"Oppa, but I don't want you to get involved in this."

"He's about to attack you! How can I not get involved? Zhuzhu, to me, there's no difference between your affairs and mine. We'll be together, forever. If you don't want me to get involved, we'll both bear the consequences together in the end."

Quan Zhilong's attitude is tougher than ever before.

"Come on, it's late. I'll take you home. Leave this matter to me. Just follow your schedule and practice dancing."

Shen Jiezhu ultimately failed to convince Quan Zhilong, and it was already one o'clock in the morning when she returned to the wizard house.

Qi Jing and An Shang were worried about her and kept guarding the door. Shen Jiezhu didn't want too many people to know about this, so she chatted with them for a while and let them go back to sleep.

When she finished washing up and lay down on the bed, she unexpectedly saw the news about Jiang Hengtai.

[Kang Heung-tae was attacked in a bar late at night, the surveillance camera was severely damaged and failed to capture the offender! ]

???

What is happening?

Could it be Oppa?

Meanwhile, Cheongdam-dong Bar.

The lights were bright, the music was loud and lively, and young bodies were swaying on the dance floor.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, An Sheng and his brother patted Quan Zhilong on the shoulder, grabbed their wine glasses, and smiled.

Compared to the last time they met, his attitude this time was a complete 180-degree change.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that! You're really wild at heart. You actually beat Jiang Hengtai like a dog! To be honest, I've disliked him for a long time and was thinking of sneaking over to take action in the dark, but who knew you would act first kkk!"

Quan Zhilong was suddenly pulled over. He was now regretting that he was too gentle just now and didn't have time to pay attention to An Sheng.

An Sheng is in a good mood now and doesn't care about these things at all.

"You are very good! Very good, I like you! I agree with you as my brother-in-law!"

"As Zhuzhu's brother, I declare that your punch successfully penetrated our An family. I will take care of what happens between you and Zhuzhu. I will help you!"
