"Is that so? Then I was mistaken." With that, she stood up and turned to leave.
Seeing that she really had no intention of stopping, Su Tianming stopped her, "Stop."
Su Ziqing turned and glanced at him. "What?"
"Now that you're here, there are some things I need to tell you." Su Tianming sighed. "Ziqing, you're still young."
Su Ziqing simply turned around but didn't sit back down, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Su Tianming gently tapped the table in front of him, as if he were still the same person who could command the Su Group back then.
"Okay, then, find a way to let me out..."
Upon hearing this request, Su Ziqing lost interest in hearing what he was about to say and interrupted him directly, "Impossible."
He killed his grandfather, and there's no way to prove it now. Otherwise, he would have received more than just a few years in prison!
Now, does he still want to come out?
Su Tianming scoffed, "Then you don't want to know what happened back then?"
"I don't want to," Su Ziqing replied directly.
“If you didn’t want to, you wouldn’t be here right now.” Su Tianming, having guessed her thoughts, said calmly, “The old man doesn’t have much time left to live…”
So, he felt that this wasn't murder?
Su Ziqing stared at him coldly, "It is also Grandpa's right to live one more day. You are the one who killed Grandpa."
"Why are you so inflexible? That medicine will only shorten Grandpa's life by a few months."
"You admit that you killed Grandpa?!" Su Ziqing said coldly.
Before Su Tianming could say anything more, Su Ziqing took out her phone and played the recording from the beginning.
"You came empty-handed during the Lunar New Year?" The recording starts from the very first line of dialogue between the two.
Su Tianming said coldly, "Su Ziqing, were you recording this?"
Su Ziqing sat back down and pressed the button on her phone. "Su Tianming, you are heartless and inhuman. You fed your own father drugs, causing him to die from poisoning. In the end, you were so guilty that you had Grandpa cremated the very next day!"
Su Tianming never expected that Su Ziqing would have such a cunning scheme, and even record the conversation.
He glared at her. "Which part of your story told you I killed someone?"
“I’ve found Dr. Jia,” Su Ziqing said, pointing at him. “He will accuse you!”
"Impossible." Su Tianming instinctively uttered these two words.
She brandished her phone. "Based on the recording on my phone, do you think your murder charge can stand?"
"Su Ziqing!!" Su Tianming was so angry he wanted to kill someone. "You set me up?!"
"Yes, I set you up," Su Ziqing confessed. "You killed Grandpa, thinking there would be no way to prove it, right? You thought you'd only be in jail for a few years for economic crimes, and then you'd still be who you are, right?"
Even if he gets a reduced sentence after serving his sentence in prison, the business world will be unwilling to cooperate with him because of the crime of killing his own father.
How could she possibly let him get away with this so easily?!
In the future, he will live like a rat crossing the street!
Su Tianming was so angry that he wanted to grab something and throw it at Su Ziqing, but there was nothing around his hand. He couldn't even touch a hair on her head, let alone throw something at her.
"Su Ziqing, Su Ziqing!"
Su Ziqing watched him lose control and explode in anger.
"Thanks to you for calling me over, Uncle, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of setting this trap for you." Not satisfied with making him angry enough, Su Ziqing waved her phone and smiled.
Su Tianming was so angry that he felt dizzy and weak, and sat down.
He was panting heavily, and it took him two or three minutes to calm down. "You actually, you actually..."
"Economic crimes, plus murder, let me calculate..." Su Ziqing counted on her fingers, pretending to do serious accounting, "All in all, it should be about twenty years, right?"
Su Tianming felt he had really lost out, as he had originally wanted to negotiate with her.
Unexpectedly, they were plunged into an even deeper trap.
"Uncle, you're over fifty now. You were in your seventies when you came out. Hmm, the average lifespan is now in the early seventies?" Su Ziqing's smile was so infuriating.
What he said almost made Su Tianming faint with anger: "You might say goodbye to this world while you're in jail."
Is she cursing him to die?! Su Tianming placed his hand on his heart and let out a long breath. "Get out."
Su Ziqing stood up. "Uncle, take good care of yourself and try your best to live past the average."
"Su Ziqing!! Get out!!"
Su Ziqing walked away in her high heels, her face turning completely cold as she turned around.
She wouldn't let anyone lead her by the nose, but the information still stirred her up, making her want to find out why.
Just as I left the detention center, before I even got on the bus, I saw Su Xiaoman getting off.
Surprisingly, Su Xiaoman only exchanged glances with her twice and entered the detention center without saying a word.
Su Ziqing didn't linger and drove away.
………………………
After leaving the detention center, Su Ziqing went straight to the private detective agency she had arranged to meet.
She wore sunglasses the whole time to conceal her emotions.
She packed all the organized information into a file folder and handed it to the private investigator.
"I want to know what happened back then, the more specific the better." Su Ziqing stated her purpose directly, "Name your price! But no one else can know about this except you and me."
She was afraid of alerting the enemy, afraid that things would turn out as she suspected, and that if she did, someone would destroy the evidence during the investigation.
The matter is already many years old, and it's not easy to find any trace of it now that it's being brought up again.
The private investigator opened the file. As a renowned detective working for the wealthy, he usually handled cases involving infidelity and keeping mistresses.
This is an investigation into...the cause of death?
He looked at Su Ziqing, who was wearing sunglasses, and asked, "Is there a time limit?"
"The sooner the better," Su Ziqing said.
"OK."
"I hope you will notify me immediately if you find anything unusual." Su Ziqing stood up.
…………………………
Beijing
Gong Chengjue returned from a trip abroad only to find Su Ziqing missing from his home!
I was planning to come back a day early to surprise her, but what she gave me was even more of a surprise!
Without even having time to rest and adjust to the time difference, he immediately took out his phone and called her, but Su Ziqing hadn't answered yet!
Gong Chengjue frowned without thinking much about it. Could it be that he had run away from home?
Thinking of something, I sent her a WeChat message: "Where are you?"
After waiting a few minutes without a reply, he started to suspect something was amiss, so he sent another WeChat message: "Why did you pack all your things away?"
Is she going to break up with me?
Thinking of this, Gong Chengjue pursed his lips.
Just as he was getting more and more confused by his thoughts, Su Ziqing finally called back.
"I was in a meeting and it was muted. Have you gone back to China?"
