Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 321 - I Can Testify

Chapter 321: Chapter 321 I Can Testify

Qiao Yun explained, “Apart from this, there’s nothing else. The year I went missing, just so happened that Gu Ming’s company was in financial crisis and needed money.”

Pei Yao’s expression turned grave, his eyes filled with fury, “He took Qin Huan’s money to do her bidding. Maybe Qin Huan just wanted to dispose of you, but he took it upon himself to kidnap you, wanting money!”

“Possibly.” These were all just speculations for now, but Qiao Yun felt they were quite accurate, as everything was too coincidental.

Pei Yao snorted coldly, “Such a small Lu Family, really asking for trouble, to be played around by these two people.”

Qiao Yun: “…” Is this a swear word?

“I’ll copy the surveillance video right now and send it directly to the Lu Family, so they realize how foolish they are!”

...

“If you ask me, they are also accomplices. After the incident, they didn’t even investigate the likelihood of their own people committing the crime!”

“It’s no use.” Qiao Yun vetoed the suggestion, “The kidnapping case was already concluded back then. The leader was even executed by firing squad, to overturn the case we would need evidence.”

Merely based on Aunt Lin’s words, without actual evidence, Qin Huan could turn around and bite back at Aunt Lin.

Or under the pressure of Qin Huan, Aunt Lin could claim she was threatened by someone and spouted nonsense.

Compared to an outsider like Aunt Lin, the Lu Family would definitely place more trust in Qin Huan’s words.

This was also why Qiao Yun, had to stealthily investigate.

The Lu Family was protective of their own, and they didn’t like causing harm to one another.

“Leave this to me, I’ll find out the truth.”

Now that the direction was clear, all that was missing were evidence and witnesses.

Even if Qin Huan was unaware, she was still an accomplice, on top of that add a charge of deliberately abandoning Qiao Yun.

That would be enough for her to spend several years in prison.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Yun said, “Give me a copy of the video too.”

“Alright.” Pei Yao didn’t ask what Qiao Yun wanted the video for. He clicked his tongue, “This Gu Ming is quite shrewd. If he’s still alive now, he’d definitely be a master in the business world.”

Qiao Yun expressed agreement.

The Lu Family might have been schemed against twice by this man, Lu Jingzhi’s car accident, as well as her kidnapping…

Is the Lu Family that appealing? Specifically attracting flies.

As Qiao Yun thought this, her expression suddenly paused, something flashed through her mind.

Hai City, the film set, Gu Ming, Lu Ting, the birthday party, and…

Qiao Yun abruptly lifted her eyelids, her tone turning cold, “Investigate someone.”

Pei Yao asked, “Who?”

“Ya Man!”

…

The café’s private room.

Lu Ting looked at the woman in front of her, at a loss for words on what to say.

Knowing that Qiao Yun was raised by Qiao An, she couldn’t withstand the shock and impulsively called Ya Man.

Now that she saw her, she found herself speechless.

Seeing Lu Ting downcast, Ya Man asked with concern, “Have you been crying? What happened, who’s bullying you?”

Lu Ting felt a bit more relieved seeing her sincere look, free from pretense.

She still had someone who cared, even though this person had abandoned her, there must still be a place for her in their heart, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to find her.

“I’m fine.” She certainly wasn’t about to show Ya Man her ugly side.

Ya Man frowned, “Is it them bullying you, Tingting? Are you unhappy in the Lu Family?”

“No.”

“Don’t lie to me. I met your adoptive mother recently, she seemed to not care about you at all.”

Lu Ting was puzzled, “What do you mean by that?”

Ya Man said with a pained expression, “I deliberately tested her. I asked her if your biological parents wanted to take you away, whether she would agree. She personally told me that she wouldn’t mind.”

“Impossible!” Lu Ting’s voice rose slightly, in disbelief, “No, my mom couldn’t possibly say such a thing.”

“You think I would lie to you?” Ya Man looked hurt, “I am your birth mother, if you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself.”

Lu Ting appeared dazed.

She dared not ask.

If it were before she knew about Qiao Yun’s origins, she would have asked.

But now, seeing her parents’ excited faces upon learning that Qiao Yun was raised by Qiao An, she lost her confidence.

She feared the answer wouldn’t match her expectations.

She feared her parents, knowing her birth mother had come looking for her, would send her away for Qiao Yun’s sake.

For the first time, Lu Ting felt a sense of panic, fearing they would ignore her, fear they would abandon her.

Ya Man observed Lu Ting’s expression, took her hand, and said gently, “You still have me, don’t worry.”

Lu Ting looked at Ya Man, her emotions complex, not withdrawing her hand immediately.

“There’s something I want to ask you, I…” she hesitated, “my biological father and Qin Huan, did they do something to Qiao Yun?”

Ya Man, who had been intending to tell her all along, didn’t hide the truth, “Yes, the young miss of the Lu Family didn’t just go missing; she was taken away by your father. But your father was also driven to desperation, if they hadn’t refused to help your dad, he wouldn’t have taken such extreme measures.”

Lu Ting’s face paled, her heart thumping wildly, she persisted inquiring, “Could there be some misunderstanding?”

“I heard your adoptive mother has always suspected Qin Huan, just that she has no evidence.” Ya Man stared intensely at Lu Ting, “I can testify. It just depends on whether you want to tell her.”

She was cornering Lu Ting into a difficult situation. She could have chosen not to inform Lu Ting about this and let her be innocently unaware.

But she still said it.

She wanted Lu Ting to make a choice, whether to betray the Lu Family or to sacrifice herself by revealing the truth to them.
