Nan Xun's words evoked the deepest memories in Lin Zhongwei's heart.
What happened ten years ago was replaying before my eyes like a movie.
"Do you know why Mr. An wanted to kill your parents ten years ago?" Lin Zhongwei asked, "It was because Xue Li'er asked Mr. An to help her kill your parents."
"What?!" Nan Xun was shocked. He never expected that Lin Zhongwei would say such a thing.
"Do you know what the consequences of lying to me are?" Nan Xun said coldly, "You wouldn't still be helping An Jinli lie at this time, would you?"
Lin Zhongwei smiled bitterly and sighed deeply.
"Do you think I need to lie to you at this point?" Lin Zhongwei asked, "Will lying to you save Mr. An a few years in prison?"
"Okay." Nan Xun said coldly, "Then tell me why Xue Li'er asked An Jinli to kill my parents. What was her reason?"
Lin Zhongwei looked at Nan Xun steadily and said, "I'm not very clear about the details. I only heard from Mr. An that Xue Li'er had something on your father. Your father asked her to leave you after she won the business with the Middle Eastern people, so she thought of killing your parents."
"Handle?" Nan Xun thought carefully. Ten years ago, he had been abroad and often spoke to his father on the phone, but he had never heard him mention anything about Xue Li'er. "Did An Jinli tell me what handle it was?"
Lin Zhongwei shook his head. "Boss An only said that this handle would make you completely dislike Xue Lier. That's why Xue Lier is so nervous."
"Since Xue Li'er and An Jinli had this kind of relationship before, why did An Jinli later have Xue Li'er kidnapped?"
Xie Jiashu, who was standing by, expressed Nan Xun's doubts.
"Because they had a disagreement," Lin Zhongwei said, "that's why An Jinli wanted to get rid of Xue Li'er."
“Why the disagreement?”
"The man who was assigned to tamper with your parents' car was sent abroad by General An," Lin Zhongwei explained. "But Xue Li'er was worried you'd discover the truth about your parents' death upon your return, so she asked General An to kill that man as well to silence him. Annoyed by Xue Li'er's constant pestering, General An persuaded his Middle Eastern partners to kidnap her and sell her abroad."
"Hearing you say that, An Jinli seems to have a much better conscience than Xue Lier." Xie Jiashu sneered, "It makes me almost doubt whether we know the same An Jinli."
"I'm not trying to excuse Mr. An," Lin Zhongwei said. "The reason Mr. An didn't want to kill that man back then was because he had already fled the country, and Mr. An didn't know where he went. Also, Mr. An couldn't stand Xue Li'er's hysterical pestering and orders, so he took action.
"You know, in Mr. An's eyes, whether you could find out the truth or not was unimportant. Because he already had the Middle Eastern business at the time, it was only a matter of time before he took Nanyu in. So he didn't take you seriously. It was Xue Li'er who was always afraid you would find out the truth, so she tried her best to cover it up."
Lin Zhongwei's words plunged Nanxun into deep thought. He recalled ten years ago, when his parents passed away and he couldn't return home immediately due to some matters, he had spoken to Xue Li'er on the phone several times. Xue Li'er had indeed been acting a bit strangely at that time.
When she heard that Nanxun was going back to China, she didn't seem as happy as before, and was even... a little flustered.
"Can you swear that everything you said is true?" Xie Jiashu asked, "If you tell a lie, you know I have plenty of ways to punish you."
Lin Zhongwei curled his lips: "I said, I don't need to lie."
