Qi Yu's recording of Bai Jiaojiao was completely unexpected.
When she received the summons, she thought it was Yang Changping trying to make a last-ditch effort.
She was caught completely off guard by the recording of her conversation with Bai Jiaojiao the day before, so much so that she couldn't even bring herself to refute the recording as fake.
"Qi Yu!"
Seeing Qi Yu's shocked and unconcealed expression, Yang Changping felt a surge of anger and stepped forward to slap Qi Yu.
Although Yang Changping had been away from the army for many years, he was still vigorous and strong. Qi Yu was slapped to the ground by Yang Changping's slap, which was full of resentment for thirty years, and a red handprint immediately appeared on one side of his face.
"Hey, Minister Yang, what are you doing!"
Only Liao Zong and his assistant were in the room. He quickly asked his assistant to help Qi Yu up.
Qi Yu, however, was unmoved. She shoved Liao Zong's assistant aside, forced herself to her feet, and looked at Yang Changping, saying, "Yes, that's right, so what if I lied to her? Let me tell you, your whole family is partly responsible for her ending up like this! Back then, you four brothers and your father insisted on going to the battlefield together. Didn't you ever think about what would happen if something happened to Yang An while she was home alone? You hit me? Let me tell you, this slap should have been on your own face!"
Seeing that there was no way to argue, Qi Yu directly hit Yang Changping's sore spot. Over the years, he and Old Master Yang had never stopped regretting why they had left Yang An alone at home back then.
Seeing that Qi Yu had already tacitly acknowledged the authenticity of the recording and admitted to what she had done, Liao Zong realized that the two were about to start arguing. If Yang Changping were to lay a hand on Qi Yu in front of him, he would have a hard time explaining himself.
He quickly gave his assistant a look, signaling him to stop Yang Changping.
Yang Changping was so hurt by Qi Yu's words that he had no intention of taking any further action.
"Go find someone and bring Qi Yu over to thoroughly investigate what happened back then, as well as the matter of framing Minister Yang last week. Ask about everything." Liao Zong waved his hand, and his assistant quickly left.
He then said to Qi Yu, "The four members of the Yang family went to the battlefield to protect the country and the people. They sacrificed their small families for the greater good. Didn't your brother go there back then too? Do I need to tell you this principle? You certainly have no obligation to take care of the Yang family's relatives in the rear, but you still did this to frame her. Just for a job, you have to scheme against your own friends. Do you still think you did nothing wrong?"
"Made a mistake? Minister Liao, since I joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that year, I have never made a mistake in my work. Over the years, I have risen all the way to my current position. Doesn't that prove the organization's recognition of me? What's wrong with me fighting for what I deserve? Since the Yang family has sacrificed their own family, they shouldn't blame others!"
Qi Yu still doesn't think she did anything wrong. Her plan was originally harmless, but then Bai Zhiman suddenly appeared.
She also harbored resentment towards Qi Changsheng. Back then, they were about to get married, and she and Yang An both tried to persuade him to stay, but he resolutely went to the battlefield and never returned.
Looking at Qi Yu's expression, Yang Changping's finger trembled as he pointed at her: "Qi Yu, I... I'm telling you, while our Yang family has wronged An Zi, no one will come to save you. And we won't let a single member of your Qi family go!"
These words were spoken without thinking due to anger at Qi Yu, and Liao Zong immediately interrupted, "Minister Yang!"
