A faint smile remained on her delicate and beautiful face, as if she couldn't understand the meaning behind Aunt Qiu's words.
But Jian Yixue could tell from the slightly forlorn look in Qingyan's eyes that Qingyan actually knew, but had concealed everything for fear of making things difficult for her.
Oh, silly girl!
Even though you care, you force yourself to pretend that nothing is wrong.
Even if it's just to be friends with her, you don't have to compromise yourself in every way.
If the definition of friendship is not about bringing each other happiness, then what is the point of making friends?
For a moment, Jian Yixue felt a strange pang of heartache.
Just as he was about to say something, Qingyan's voice, which she tried to sound relaxed, came over.
"Sister Yixue, then you go ahead with your work. I can't help you with your affairs, so I'll just take good care of Aunt Qiu for you."
After saying that, he helped Aunt Qiu walk into the room.
Aunt Qiu originally wanted to get rid of Qingyan, so as soon as Qingyan finished speaking, she got up and left with Qingyan.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Jian Yixue's judgment; after so many years, the truth about Madam's past was finally about to surface, but Qingyan suddenly appeared at this moment, so she had to be on guard.
She didn't have another fifteen years to wait, and she was even more afraid that Jane Yixue would be hurt because of it.
The fewer people who know, the less risk there is, especially if it's someone you've only known for a short time.
Watching the two people walk towards the room, Jian Yixue's words caught in her throat. She felt helpless and heartbroken at the same time.
In fact, she knew that Aunt Qiu hadn't done anything wrong, and neither had Qingyan.
Aunt Qiu wanted to get Qingyan away because of her.
Qingyan left without saying a word, following Aunt Qiu's advice, also for her sake.
Neither side harbored any ill intentions; they simply had different positions.
Never mind, I'll talk to them later.
She didn't plan to have the two of them participate in this, since there were still risks involved.
Although she can devise a safe plan, she cannot guarantee that no unexpected events will occur along the way.
Unlike Aunt Qiu and Qingyan, Youluo and the others, if something unexpected were to happen, Youluo and the others would at least be able to protect themselves, while Aunt Qiu and the others are just ordinary people.
Watching the door close, Jian Yixue withdrew her gaze and looked at the trio in the living room with a serious and earnest expression.
When Jian Yixue is focused on her work, she exudes a powerful aura, quite different from her usual demure and feminine self.
Jian Yixue's face remained expressionless as she coldly asked, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the three people present also became serious.
Upon hearing this, Youluo said coldly, "Yes, we have collected enough evidence against Jian Mingpeng. It's enough to make him step down and spend the rest of his life in prison. We are now just waiting for your orders."
Jian Yixue nodded, a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, and said calmly, "Make a copy of the evidence for today's operation, and file a formal complaint in my name. Also, inform the major media outlets in the capital. I want to see how someone who cares most about fame and fortune feels when they watch themselves be ruined."
Youluo wasn't surprised at all after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.
She knew that the calmer Jian Yixue was, the more intense her anger was.
"Okay. Also, Youzhu and I have investigated the records of the capital and even Z country over the past two or three decades, but we have not been able to find out where your mother came from. We only know that your mother suddenly appeared in the capital 25 years ago."
Some sources suggest that she, like you, has achieved some success in medical skills and has been using her medical expertise to save lives in anonymity.
Twenty years ago, she suddenly married Jian Mingpeng for reasons unknown. According to your country's standards, this was considered marrying down.
Not long after, you were born, and she rarely had any contact with the outside world. Since then, news about her has become even scarcer.
On the day of the accident, she, who always kept to herself, inexplicably drove out. It was discovered that she received a phone call from Jian Mingpeng before leaving the house. The phone company did not record the call, and only the person involved likely knows the specific reason.
After listening, Jian Yixue frowned, pondering the whole matter.
The mother's death must be inextricably linked to Jian Mingpeng.
As for the reason, only Jian Mingpeng probably knows.
Jian Yixue's gaze gradually darkened, her eyes seeming to be coated with poison.
He certainly wouldn't tell her anything now, so she'd wait until she lost everything and see how much he'd regret it then...
Looking at Jian Yixue in front of her, Youluo felt a pang of sadness and heartache.
Thinking of the results Youzhu found out later, he glanced at Youzhu.
Youzhu was originally looking at Jian Yixue, but when she felt Youluo's gaze, she turned her head away.
Their eyes met, and Youzhu understood Youluo's meaning, giving her a reassuring look and nodding.
Youluo nodded in agreement, then looked at Jian Yixue.
"Yue, we also found out that your mother's accident happened on an overpass. She fell off the bridge along with the car. The police sent people to search, but they only managed to pull up the empty car. They then searched downstream along the river for half a month but still couldn't find your mother's body. Your nominal father, Jian Mingpeng, ordered the police to stop the search and even suppressed the fact that no body had been found."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue felt a surge of excitement.
She was still young at the time. Jian Mingpeng told her that her mother had passed away and took her to her mother's grave.
She then came to believe the fact that her mother was no longer alive.
From the moment she joined the organization, every year on the anniversary of her mother's death, she would travel a great distance to return to her mother's grave, talk to her, and tell her about some of her recent interesting experiences.
Now that she knows it was just a cenotaph for her mother, a bold idea pops into her head.
"You mean my mother's body was never recovered?"
Upon hearing this, Youluo nodded.
Although she didn't know what Jian Yixue meant by asking that question, she truthfully told her what she knew.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yixue's eyes flashed with a sudden light, and she became somewhat excited, "Is it possible that my mother is not dead?"
She lowered her voice considerably at the end, and her gaze kept glancing at Aunt Qiu's room door.
This was just her guess, and she didn't want Aunt Qiu to know it now.
Upon hearing this, Youluo frowned and glanced at Youzhu with some uncertainty.
Youzhu also had a furrowed brow.
They all knew the chances were slim, but seeing the hopeful look in Jian Yixue's eyes, they couldn't bring themselves to deny it.
That would be too cruel for her.
Hearing Jian Yixue's words, Youju was also very excited.
