“It was my eldest brother who suggested this,” Su Tianhao said, recalling what happened back then. “My eldest brother wanted my sister dead, but I was thinking at the time that if my sister was crippled, the old man wouldn’t let her be his heir…”
Hearing this, Su Ziqing almost laughed. "You mean I should thank you for not completely losing your conscience?"
What utter nonsense!
"No matter what you think, I never intended to kill my sister." Su Tianhao looked at Su Ziqing, his eyes filled with remorse.
"You know what kind of person your uncle is. If he were to do this, your parents..." I don't need to say the rest; you can probably guess what he meant.
What methods would someone who would poison their own father use against their half-sister who is blocking their path and trying to steal their position as heir?
"Believe it or not, all I ever did was not want my sister to inherit the company; nothing else mattered," Su Tianhao said sincerely.
Then he went on to explain how he had set it up, essentially giving an honest prisoner a truthful account of the crime.
Whether he says it or not is irrelevant now; Su Ziqing has already found out everything she needed to.
"...It was all just a coincidence." Su Tianhao finally finished speaking, "But I also admit that your parents died because of me."
Su Ziqing remained silent for a long time.
She stood up and left, leaving only the echoing sound of her high heels in her ears.

Su Tianhao surrendered himself to the police and confessed to the crime. The case was treated as manslaughter. He also brought up a case from over ten years ago that had already exceeded the statute of limitations.
His lawyer didn't understand why Su Tianhao wanted to talk about things from more than ten years ago. What was the point of bringing up these things out of the blue, except to increase the punishment?
But Su Tianhao seemed to have changed his personality overnight. After recounting events from over a decade ago, he actually felt relaxed. No matter what the lawyer said, it was useless.
Considering his voluntary surrender, sincere attitude, and the compelling arguments presented by his lawyer, he was ultimately sentenced to six years in prison. (Criminal Law: Manslaughter is punishable by three to seven years imprisonment.)
The Su Group paid the Fang family a certain amount of money in the name of the company, and the highly publicized case was thus closed.
………………………
Su Group
Su Xiaoman walked into the company in high heels with a cold expression.
Upon seeing Miss Su, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, the people in the company took a beat to realize what Miss Su wanted to do.
One thing after another has happened in the Su family this past year, and everyone in the company knows that Su Ziqing and Su Xiaoman don't get along.
However, after Su Tianming went to prison, Su Xiaoman almost never appeared in public.
Today is the day Su Tianhao is sentenced, and Su Ziqing is extremely busy at the company.
The second meeting has just ended.
She picked up the cup next to her, about to take a sip of water, when the conference room door was pushed open, and the secretary followed behind, urgently urging, "Ms. Su, you can't go in now."
"Get out!" Su Xiaoman's eyes were practically spitting fire. Su Ziqing had lied to her!
Su Ziqing took a small sip, then put down her cup and waved to her secretary, "Go out now."
The meeting room door closed again.
Su Xiaoman was so angry that she smashed the cup in front of Su Ziqing on the ground. "Su Ziqing, you lied to me!"
Su Ziqing frowned. She still had several people to interview later. Just as Su Tianhao had said, she was so young and had no business experience, so it would be difficult for her to run a company.
Therefore, she needs to find suitable personnel quickly, filling each position appropriately, so she doesn't have to worry about everything herself.
"What would I lie to you about?" Because of her busy schedule, she hasn't been able to sleep well for the past two days, and has only slept for less than eight hours in total. Her head is throbbing and aching.
Su Xiaoman's voice was shrill and sharp, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Su Tianhao only got 6 years in prison!!" Her father got over 10 years!
Su Ziqing looked at her, "You only said he should go to jail, but you didn't say how many years, did you?"
Su Xiaoman glared at him, her eyes blazing. "He killed your parents, and you only gave him six years in prison?" She thought Su Ziqing would make her father put Su Tianhao in prison for over a decade!
Su Ziqing remained silent.
Of course she hated Su Tianhao, and she felt that six years was too short, but everyone is equal before the law.
Su Tianhao's two cases were both manslaughter, otherwise he wouldn't have been sentenced to 6 years.
Of course, she could do what Su Xiaoman thought and smear Su Tianhao, making him guilty of 'intentional homicide,' but... if she did that, how would she be any different from them?
Moreover, what she wanted was for Su Tianhao to admit to the crime of trying to kill her parents, not just to send him to jail based on Secretary Fang's case.
"Su Ziqing, are you satisfied with this?" Su Xiaoman could hardly believe her ears when she heard the result, thinking she had misheard.
Su Ziqing looked up at Su Xiaoman and saw the anger in her eyes. "What, are you disappointed that you weren't framed and imprisoned for more than ten years as you said?"
Before Su Xiaoman could say anything, she continued, "In that case, why don't you send him to jail yourself?"
Su Xiaoman pursed her lips tightly.
She thought Su Ziqing would follow the script she gave her; wasn't that how she behaved that day?
Compared to hatred, shouldn't Su Ziqing hate Su Tianhao the most?
She let the case develop to this point, and Su Ziqing only needed to give way a little...
But Su Ziqing actually talks about law and morality! Ha!
Su Ziqing stood up and walked to the French windows.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the air was fresh. The gloom in Su Ziqing's heart dissipated a lot. She turned to look at Su Xiaoman and said, "I'm quite satisfied with this result."
Did Su Xiaoman naively think she would follow the script? It seems her IQ isn't quite there yet.
Would she really go and slander someone to go to jail?!
Looking into Su Ziqing's eyes, Su Xiaoman slowly calmed down. "You never intended for Su Tianhao to sit in that position for more than ten years, did you?"
Su Ziqing sighed, "How many years I serve is not up to me, it's up to the law."
"Then how did you treat my dad back then?" Su Xiaoman felt that she couldn't understand Su Ziqing's thoughts at all.
Don't forget that Su Ziqing framed Su Tianming one crime after another, which led to Su Tianming being sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
Su Xiaoman thought Su Ziqing would use the same trick on Su Tianhao again.
"Which of the charges against your father was unjust?" Su Ziqing asked instead of answering.
Su Xiaoman was so choked that she couldn't utter a single word.
Su Ziqing raised her hand to look at her watch. "The goal has been achieved. I don't think this counts as deception. I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it now."
After saying that, she walked out of the conference room.
"Didn't you say you weren't interested in the chairman's position?" Su Xiaoman watched her retreating figure. "So, what's next..."
