Chapter 44 Self-Confession
She pinched her thigh hard to calm herself down, and the moment Ji Feifei looked up, her eyes were full of disbelief. "Manager Shen, you don't suspect me, do you? Harming someone is punishable by death, how could I do such a thing?"
A smile slowly spread across Shen Congxuan's deep eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. "Don't get agitated. I'm just asking routinely. Have you seen any suspicious people?"
The woman thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head. "No, if I remember anything later, I will definitely tell Manager Shen."
Ji Feifei appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was panicking and desperately wanted to rush out to discuss countermeasures with Wu Qingluan.
The man ignored the urgency in the other person's eyes, leisurely playing with his pen, his gaze seemingly unintentionally falling on Ji Feifei's hair.
"What's wrong?" The woman touched her hair.
"It's nothing. I just heard that a long hair was found under the chassis of Su Xi's car. The person who left the hair must be the one who tampered with the brake pads."
What? Ji Feifei's pupils suddenly contracted, and her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.
Realizing her lapse in composure, the woman chuckled sheepishly, "I didn't expect the officers to be so efficient; I'm a little surprised."
“Likewise.” The man looked down and scrolled through his phone, seemingly unaware of the woman’s unusual behavior. With a ping, he sent her an app message: “Fill out the form first. Su Xi has only been here for less than half a month, so this shouldn’t have anything to do with anyone in our company.”
"Yes." Ji Feifei opened the software, operated it a few times, and a line of garbled text appeared. Her brows furrowed involuntarily.
The man had clearly seen it, and he reached out his long, slender, fair hand. "Let me see."
Ji Feifei quickly handed it over.
The man took the phone, quickly operated it, and handed it back. "Okay. You can go back now and get back to work."
Stepping out of the office, Ji Feifei went straight to Wu Qingluan. Before she could even speak, a piece of paper appeared in front of her.
Wu Qingluan tapped the paper with her sequined fingernails, her face nonchalant, but her eyes held a coldness that subtly hinted at a threat.
Ji Feifei looked down and her face instantly turned pale.
The note read: "First, these are extraordinary times, so don't get close to me. Second, resolutely deny everything, even if there's evidence. Third, don't implicate me. Even if you do, you have no evidence; it's a false accusation. Fourth, if you go to jail, I'll get you out. I'll help take care of your family."
Ji Feifei read it word by word, not even missing a punctuation mark. When she looked up and met the woman's cold and harsh expression, her heart sank into an abyss.
She got up and left, her mind reeling. She'd go in? How could she? She was so young; her bright future couldn't be ruined like this. Su Xi, that woman was a demon.
Seeing the woman leave, Wu Qingluan tossed the paper into the shredder and raised an eyebrow indifferently.
After working absentmindedly for a while, Ji Feifei, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, got up and went to the restroom. Once she was sure no one was in the stall, she locked the door, called her mother, and poured out all her panic and grievances.
Bu Cuihong’s malicious voice came over, “She’s fine, so why did the police have to be called? I’ve never seen such a petty and calculating woman. Isn’t she afraid of retribution?”
Don't worry, just deny everything. Even if they have evidence, you must proclaim your innocence. Didn't Miss Wu say she'd find a way to get you out of this? Miss Wu is a capable and influential person; she absolutely keeps her word.
Remembering Wu Qingluan's cold, ruthless, and cruel gaze, Ji Feifei still felt uncertain. "If my DNA is found in her hair, wouldn't that be irrefutable evidence?"
"What kind of irrefutable evidence is this? You're colleagues. Your hair got stuck to her and somehow ended up under the car. What does that have to do with you?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Feifei felt a sudden sense of relief, and her heart was completely at ease.
As she walked towards her workstation, she rolled her eyes at Su Xi defiantly. This woman actually wanted to send her to jail; it was utterly despicable. She was lucky this time, but she wouldn't be so fortunate next time.
office,
As Shen Congxuan listened to Ji Feifei's conversation with her mother, a slight smile played on his lips. He had openly and honestly implanted the eavesdropping software into Ji Feifei's phone; he hadn't expected it to be effective so quickly. Feng Jue was truly a prophet.
There was no long hair at all; Ji Feifei confessed because she felt guilty.
However, the caller didn't explicitly state that they were acting under someone's orders. With this recording, the rest is up to the police.
At this moment, Wu Qingluan was unaware that she had narrowly escaped disaster. It wasn't that she was particularly clever, but rather that her lips were swollen and she didn't want to talk much, so she wrote her words down on paper.
After speaking with Feng Jue on the phone, the man gave Su Xi only one sentence to decide.
Su Xi entered the office, where Shen Congxuan was brewing tea around a stove. He slowly poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Su Xi, then poured another cup for himself.
Seeing the woman looking at him with a puzzled expression, Shen Congxuan's amber eyes softened with a gentle smile. "We've already found out who tampered with the brake pads. President Feng is letting you decide for yourself."
"President Feng?"
"Yes, Feng Jue."
Su Xi's eyes darted around for a moment, thinking it was Feng Jinchen.
"This is a recording, listen to it. Speaking of which, President Feng is really good at scheming. With just a blurry dashcam video, he made the enemy panic and confess without being asked."
After listening to the recording, Su Xi wasn't too surprised; what surprised her more was the man's thoughtfulness and care.
"Manager Shen, I will not offend others unless they offend me. If they do offend me, I will strike them down with lightning speed."
"Okay, I understand." A hint of appreciation flashed in the man's deep eyes behind his glasses.
During lunch, she searched for the price of Feng Jue's watch, and almost dropped her phone at the sight of it.
Thinking of the man's speed and attentiveness, she quickly took a taxi to the luxury store. A flash of inspiration struck her. She asked the sales assistant, and sure enough, they had the one she wanted. She bought it on the spot and asked the sales assistant to send it directly to Tianjue Building.
She randomly picked a restaurant near the company and sat down. While waiting for her food, she left her information on a part-time job website.
She used to work as an AI consultant on a film set. The job was easy, paid daily, and the salary was high.
Buying that watch nearly bankrupted her. The investment in Color Technology had to be postponed for the time being. She decided to find a part-time job she liked over the weekend, which also allowed her to see some big stars.
Ji Feifei thought she was going to work as a sewing machine operator, but her mindset changed. She realized that a person's best years are only a few, so she should enjoy life while she can.
She arranged to meet a wealthy and handsome man at a restaurant through a local contact.
Seeing Su Xi all alone, she assumed she had been dumped by a rich man. Feeling superior, she turned her head and whispered sarcastically, "Su Xi, what's wrong? Heartbroken? You look so pitiful."
The moment she finished speaking, her hair was grabbed tightly, and her head was jerked back.
Before she could react, a barrage of slaps rained down on her face, making her wince in pain and leaving her dazed and disoriented.
"I'll beat you to death, you little slut who seduced someone else's husband."
