There seemed to be a space below, but it was pitch black.
Qiao Yi shone her phone's flashlight on the stairs and saw that there were stairs, and people could go down.
She thought about it for a moment, then went downstairs.
The space below isn't particularly large; it's just a passageway that people can walk through.
After walking about a hundred meters, there was a staircase leading upwards in front of you.
Qiao stepped forward, but the top of her head was blocked off; there was no way out.
She raised her hand and tried to push it up, and it actually opened!
Qiao Yi walked down the steps and found herself in a sealed space, like a secret room.
As she was searching around, she suddenly heard a hissing sound from above, followed by sprays of mist coming from all around her!
Qiao Yi hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, quickened her pace to find an exit, and finally found a hidden door and ran out!
"Cough cough cough..." Qiao Yi breathed in the fresh air and found that she was in a study.
She took out her gloves, put them on, and started rummaging around the study.
She searched for a long time without finding anything, so she turned on her computer.
The computer requires a password.
Qiao Yi took out a USB drive from her pocket, plugged it in, and manipulated the keyboard for a while. She quickly cracked the password and logged in successfully.
She searched around and quickly discovered the clue!
Qiao copied the things she needed into a USB drive, closed her computer, and was about to leave when the study door was suddenly opened!
Wen Ru stood at the door, watching her with a leisurely air.
Qiao Yi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the smile on her face seemed particularly eerie!
"Miss Qiao, what are you looking for?"
"It's nothing, I just went to the wrong room."
"Oh?" Wen Ru walked in. "Didn't you go for a walk in the garden? What are you doing here?"
Just as Qiao Yi was about to speak, she heard her say, "Qiao Wanwan, you are indeed very smart. You even discovered such a hidden passage."
Qiao Yi frowned. "What did you say?"
“Everyone thinks you’re Qiao Wanwan after she lost her memory, but only I know you haven’t.” Wen Ru sat down on the sofa. “Why would someone with amnesia come here to pry into my life? At a time like this, there’s no point in denying it anymore, is there?”
The girl smiled and said calmly, "That's right, I haven't lost my memory. I am Qiao Wanwan. The reason I pretended to have amnesia was to come to the Wen family and find out everything!"
Wen Ru leaned back gracefully on the sofa. "Tell me, how did you find the secret passage?"
Qiao Wanwan said, "There are no security cameras installed in the villa, which shows you're not afraid of people coming in. But the tool shed in the backyard is locked. The tool shed is for storing miscellaneous items, but it has wooden floors. Isn't that unusual?"
"You're really smart. No wonder you're the woman who married Zhan Jingting. You've certainly got some skills to find this place," Wen Ru said with a smile. "That's right, I didn't install any surveillance cameras, but what you don't know is that my computer was tampered with. My phone received a notification the moment you turned on your computer."
"You're definitely not an ordinary person," Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and questioned, "Where is my master?!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Stop playing dumb with me. You orchestrated everything. You've been the mastermind behind it all. You knew Wen Xue wanted to blow me up, but I didn't go. So you sent me a spam text message using a code that only my master and I know. My master is definitely in your hands!"
Wen Ru remained noncommittal. "Then how did you come to suspect me?"
“After I boarded the yacht, a man with a gun subdued me. He shot and injured me and then ran away. During the struggle, I managed to grab his phone and found that the most recent contact in his call log was ‘Wen’, so it must have been someone with the surname Wen who ordered him! Time was of the essence, so I had to jump into the sea first, otherwise I would have been blown up long ago!”
"Later, I ended up overseas and was rescued by Wen Lixuan. However, the mastermind behind it all was hiding too deep. I had to find a way to infiltrate the Wen family to investigate, so I had to pretend to have amnesia and stay by Wen Lixuan's side to find an opportunity to come back."
Wen Ru shrugged. "But I'm not the only one in the Wen family with the surname Wen."
“I’ve known Wen Lixuan for so long and I know he didn’t do it. Wen Xue doesn’t have the ability to send me that spam text message, and she certainly doesn’t know my master. Otherwise, she would have used my master to threaten me long ago. The only people in the Wen family who could have done this are Wen Lijing and you.”
"I didn't find any clues in Wen Lijing's room, so I thought I'd try my luck here. I didn't expect to actually find them. You know my master. You killed Chairman Wen. The sleeping pill was provided by my master."
“My master must be doing research somewhere in secret. You were in charge of purchasing medicinal herbs. You purchased medicinal herbs from the Meng family, but in the end, Jing Ting found out about his second uncle. His second uncle is already dead, but the money in the account is still being used. The Zhan family didn't touch it. And you are his first love. It's not surprising that you know his account and password. As long as an overseas account is not canceled, the person does not need to update their identity information in person. It can be used indefinitely.”
"You're saying I killed my brother?" Wen Ru laughed directly. "On the day it happened, I was with Eleven the whole time, I didn't leave the house for a single moment, how could I have had time to go inside and see my brother?"
“Hypnosis,” Qiao Wanwan said confidently. “You learned hypnosis from my master, right? To hypnotize a child like Eleven, you don’t need to be very skilled. After you hypnotize him, he will sit in the garden. You go into the house, kill Chairman Wen, and then return to the garden. To Eleven, you will just be playing with him the whole time.”
"But what you don't know is that your hypnosis skills are really too weak. After Eleven woke up from the hypnosis, he had aftereffects. He frequently experienced short-term memory gaps in those days. For example, he would eat chocolate and then forget about it immediately."
Wen Ru frowned. "So you noticed something was wrong with Eleven right away?"
"Eleven was already in poor health, and then he was frightened. I didn't think it was a side effect of being hypnotized. Since he recovered in a few days, I was even more convinced that it was caused by the fright, so I didn't connect it to you."
"You say I killed my brother, Chairman Wen, but what was your motive?"
“You hate the Wen family.” Qiao Wanwan sat down on the sofa. “Because the Wen family opposed your relationship with the second master of the Zhan family, you hated the Wen family. Later, the second master of the Zhan family died, which became a heartache for you, and you hated these people even more. You felt that the Wen family ruined your life.”
“If it were an ordinary woman, it would take her a long time to get over the death of the man she loved. But I heard from Lixuan that you quickly picked yourself up and started studying after your serious illness. That’s because you wanted to make yourself strong, incredibly strong. Only in that way could you take revenge.”
"Furthermore, if you had truly let go of the man you love, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes as getting sterilized. It's precisely because you haven't let go that you choose not to marry or have children. Your only purpose in life is to take revenge on those who caused you to lose your love!"
