Shen Qianqian was holding a recorder, and she recorded the entire conversation she had with Qi Ran when they fell into the pit.
She pressed play, and Qi Ran's voice echoed throughout the room.
“Shen Li tricked Shen Qian into going to the countryside. Later, on the eve of her return to the city, she met Sixth Brother here, and the two of them reached a cooperation agreement. Sixth Brother helped her keep Shen Qian in Cuishui Village forever, and Shen Li paid Sixth Brother accordingly.”
"As for why I asked Lu Yunchuan to take over, it's because he will definitely take responsibility and marry Shen Qian."
"As for Sixth Brother's plan to kill Li Xiaofang, I knew nothing about it; it was all his doing..."
Shen Qianqian pressed the pause button, looked into the eyes of all the girls in the room and said, "Later, Shen Li was afraid that Sister Qian would expose what happened back then, so she wanted to get rid of Sister Qian. After all, only the dead can truly keep secrets."
"Of course, we're not here today to threaten you, we just want to voice someone's opinion."
It may be small, but if we gather everyone's voices and strength, it's enough to topple a mountain. Her meaning was clear.
First, if we don't completely remove Shen Qian as a thorn in our side, there's no guarantee that one day she won't become ruthless and eliminate those she has hurt in the past.
Secondly, one person's strength is insufficient; however, the combined strength of many people is enough to overthrow the sunken [organization].
Korea.
Besides, they had a backup plan.
Xiao Qing pondered for a moment, then began to tell Shen Qianqian and the others her story: "Shen Li and I were high school classmates. I was the class monitor, and I often wrote down Shen Li's name when she skipped classes, which led to her being publicly criticized at school. Later, she brought a group of thugs to corner me and tear my clothes to shreds..."
Xiaoqing didn't say anything more after that. Her eyes were filled with tears, as if she were seeing that scene again.
She fell to the ground, watching the murderer laugh and walk away. Her shattered body throbbed with excruciating pain, and scalding tears streamed down her face.
That day, she didn't know how she got home.
As soon as Xiaoqing finished speaking, Ayue sighed and told her own story: "I didn't have much contact with Shen Li, but she tormented me in various ways simply because the boy she liked didn't like her but liked me."
After Ah Yue finished speaking, she lifted her sleeve to reveal her arm. Her originally fair and tender arm was covered with winding scars, the longest of which was probably ten centimeters long.
As Shen Qian listened to their complaints about the injustices Shen Li had inflicted on them, tears streamed down her face again.
"I'm sorry, I had no idea about any of this." Shen Qian's words were full of apology: "She had said at home before that she was criticized in the reprimand because the class monitor deliberately framed her. She is such a good at pretending. In front of her family, she always looks like a good girl. Who would have thought that she would be like this behind their backs?"
Shen Qian said confidently, "If Dad finds out, he'll definitely kick Shen Li out of the Shen family. Then, with no money or power, wouldn't it be easy for us to control Shen Li?"
"You're too naive." Xiao Qing shook her head, and she herself seemed to think that cooperating with them was not a good idea.
“How could your father not know what Shen Li has done?” Xiao Qing said.
"Perhaps it's because you haven't been back here for too long," A-Yue sighed. "Actually, Shen Li is your father's biological daughter!"
A-Yue's words exploded in Shen Qian's mind like a thunderbolt.
"You're saying Shen Li is my father's biological daughter?" Shen Qian felt even breathing become difficult, and she subconsciously denied it all: "Impossible."
When she was little, her parents were so loving, and her father was so gentle and kind to her mother.
It was only because her mother died unexpectedly that her father, fearing that she would be left unattended at such a young age, married a stepmother.
"Oh, you silly girl! You're just as naive as your mother!"
The old man's voice came out with the sound of his cane hitting the ground. The person who came was Duan Zhiwen, Shen Qian's maternal grandfather, who was the backup plan that Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi had found in advance.
Shen Qian glanced back and recognized the person in front of her: "Grandpa?"
Shen Qian was very surprised. She had never met her maternal grandfather in person, only occasionally glimpsing his photo in an album.
He looked very much like his mother, so Shen Qian remembered his appearance immediately upon seeing him.
"Do you really think your mother's death was an accident?"
Duan Zhiwen said with a sense of disappointment, perhaps thinking of the time when Duan Zhuyu passed away, he was deeply saddened.
Qian was only ten years old when he slowed down his tone and said, "Your father orchestrated your mother's death."
"Zhuyu is our family's only daughter. She wants to marry your father, and our only requirement is that your father become an adopted son-in-law. He acted all respectable before the marriage, but he's completely changed afterward!"
As Duan Zhiwen spoke, he recalled the year he and his wife left their hometown to start a business. They thought it was the right choice to entrust their daughter to Shen Haoyu, but they never expected that Shen Haoyu was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Shen Haoyu first used sweet words to coax Duan Zhuyu into giving him her dowry little by little, and then coaxed her into handing over all the money Duan Zhiwen had left her.
Finally, Shen Haoyu got the money and, with the Duan family's connections in the city, successfully established himself. He then began to plan how to legitimately marry his sweetheart.
"Your mother's health has been poor ever since she gave birth to you." Duan Zhiwen recalled the photos his daughter sent him; she was so thin she was just skin and bones. If he had intervened sooner, his daughter might not have died!
