"Just give me a glass of water."

"Okay, please enjoy your meal."

After the flight attendant left, Xie Xia took a few sips of water, then leaned back in her chair and stared out the window at the blue sky and white clouds in a daze.

After a while, she put down the cup and took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from her backpack.

It was the graduation gift Yun Mo gave her two days ago, and she hadn’t been willing to open it.

After stroking her fingers on the flower made of light golden ribbon for a while, Xie Xia began to slowly unwrap the wrapping paper.

After opening the wrapping paper, a black watch box the size of an adult's palm was revealed, with a gold-plated "LONGINES" logo printed on the lid.

Longines, an internationally renowned watch brand.

The watch is very elegant in style, with a barrel-shaped dial inlaid with a circle of tiny diamonds and a dark brown leather strap, which matches her cold and noble temperament very well.

Xie Xia took off the original watch on her wrist and put on the new one. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Wow, this watch is so beautiful, is it a gift from your boyfriend?"

A middle-aged lady sitting next to Xie Xia said jokingly.

Xie Xia gave the other person a shallow smile and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

"You look like a student. Are you studying abroad?"

"Um."

"You are alone, why aren't you with your boyfriend? Let me tell you, it's very difficult to maintain an international relationship. Ten out of ten couples will break up in the end..."

The middle-aged lady kept talking, and Xie Xia responded intermittently, her eyes sometimes looking out the porthole, sometimes falling on her wrist, her expression calm and gentle.

Inside the interrogation room.

The interrogator in charge of interrogating Yun Yao said sternly and sharply, "Yun Yao, don't be lucky and think that if you don't say anything, we won't be able to find out what you have done!

Those people you bribed with money have already confessed and pointed out that they were behind it. It’s not too late for you to confess now.

You are an educated person, and you don’t need us to repeat the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist, right?”

Yun Yao simply sneered in response to the interrogator's warning.

"I have nothing to confess. Those things have nothing to do with me. I was wrongly accused."

"Don't be stubborn! Do you think we will accuse you of a crime without evidence?"

"Since you have evidence, just sentence me directly. Why are you asking me?"

"you!"

The younger interrogator was furious with Yun Yao, but the older one was calm and composed. It was obvious that he was not surprised by Yun Yao's hard talk and stubbornness.

He calmly closed the notebook with a faint sneer on his face.

"If you don't want to talk, we won't force you. But you can think about it carefully. We'll come back in two hours. Don't rush. We have plenty of patience and time."

When the door of the interrogation room was slammed shut, Yun Yao's face became visibly gloomy, and her eyes revealed panic and uneasiness.

She was not afraid of those people's identification, but she had to be wary of the photos and recordings that Yun Mo mentioned.

The confessions of those people are not a concern. As long as she denies everything, the police won't be able to do anything to her. Then, by spending money and using some connections, she'll be able to get out soon.

But what if Yun Mo really has photos and recordings of her transactions with those people, then she would be really doomed this time.

No, that’s not possible, Yun Mo must be cheating her!

Maybe the other party is hiding somewhere now, watching her laugh, waiting for her to fall into the trap! She can't panic, she must stay calm!

As soon as Jiang Yu stepped into the tea restaurant where the party was taking place, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Everyone looked at her with surprise, sympathy, ridicule, and even gloating.

She didn't feel too shaken inside, after all, she had already gotten used to it. She was just a little confused, did something happen again that she didn't know about?

Jiang Yu didn't feel puzzled for too long, as a wealthy lady who was on good terms with her pulled her aside to talk.

"I thought you didn't feel like coming here today. Alas, it's not easy to raise a child with your own hands, let alone a child who grew up outside. It's normal for him to be difficult to discipline."

Jiang Yu understood immediately, "What good thing did Xiaoyao do again?"

Hearing her ask this, Mrs. Fu was surprised and asked, "You don't know yet?"

"I just came here after getting a full body treatment at the beauty salon."

Mrs. Fu immediately told her everything Yun Yao had done, "...I heard that your Xiao Yao was handcuffed and taken away by the police in the street. I'm afraid it will be reported in the newspaper tonight. I think you should go back quickly and discuss a solution with your husband.

It would be best if you can get the person out, but even if you can't, you have to find a way to suppress the news. Your company has finally started to improve, and it would be terrible if this incident affected the project."

Mrs. Fu’s company has a lot of cooperation with the Yun family’s company, so naturally she doesn’t want anything to happen to the Yun family that would implicate her family.

Although Jiang Yu didn't care about Yun Yao's life or death, since it was related to the company, she had to be on high alert.

She used the excuse of having an emergency at home and hurriedly left the tea restaurant with her bag.

As soon as she left, the ladies at the party immediately started whispering to each other.

"There's such a shameful thing going on in her family, but she still has the mind to dress up. She's really thoughtful."

"What else can we do? We can only throw the pot into the ground. I heard from my servant that the relationship between mother and daughter is very tense. They are like enemies at home."

"Mrs. Yun is also guilty of something. Her youngest daughter is dead, and her eldest daughter is so troublesome. On the contrary, the adopted daughter she kicked out of the house is the most promising. I guess she must be regretting it now."

"So, regardless of blood relationship, it's better to raise your child yourself."

"Who says it's not..."

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Yu did not go home, but planned to go directly to Yun Shixian's company.

However, halfway through the journey, her car was stopped by Xu Lixue's motorcycle.

Perhaps out of recognition of Xu Lixue's ability, Jiang Yu has introduced several wealthy wives to Fenyou Detective Agency over the past six months.

In return, Xu Lixue would occasionally give Jiang Yu some information he wanted to know free of charge.

As time went by, the two of them developed a bit of a friendship.

Jiang Yu was not angry about Xu Lixue's behavior of stopping the car, but just felt it was strange.

"Detective Xu, what's up?"

"I was asked to deliver a letter to you. I was going to the tea restaurant to look for you, but I ran into some trouble on the way. When I arrived, you had just left, so I had to catch up with you."

Jiang Yu hurried to the company to find her husband. Seeing that there was nothing written on the envelope, she did not ask any questions and just put the letter in her bag and left.

"Mrs. Yun, the other party has another message for you. I hope you can read the contents of the letter as soon as you receive it."

"I see."

After the car started moving again, Jiang Yu took out the letter from the bag with a puzzled look on his face.
