"Yes."

Lu Yan responded without changing his expression or heartbeat.

Jiang Zhi remembered the moment he fainted, he saw a familiar figure. He thought that person was Shang Yanjing, but unexpectedly, it was Lu Yan.

What was she expecting?

"How are you? Are you okay? Do you want some water?"

She thought of Xia Fu, and the man's laughter still echoed in her ears, "Where is the murderer? Where is he?"

"he died."

"Dead?" Jiang Zhi felt complicated, "How could it be..."

"Azhi, it's all my fault. I didn't expect Xia Qianqian's father would do such a radical thing. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise, I will never forgive myself in this life. It was all my fault before. Can we start over? I will never let you suffer again." Lu Yan held Jiang Zhi's hand tightly.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi frowned. The man's touch made her very uncomfortable. As she spoke, she pulled her hand out of Lu Yan's, "You said... the murderer is Xia Qianqian's father?"

"Ah."

Jiang Zhi felt a chill on his back.

Xia Qianqian is about the same age as her, but when Xia Fu was in the Jiang family, he always pretended to be single. He rarely asked for leave to go home. When did he have a daughter this big?

After all, if Jiang Zhi had a daughter the same age as her, there was no way she wouldn't know about it.

Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't think clearly for a while. Her body also felt a little painful, which were the marks of burns.

The tingling sensation on her skin made her feel severe pain after the anesthetic wore off.

"I want to take a nap."

"Go to sleep, I'll be here with you."

"unnecessary."

"Azhi, are you still unwilling to forgive me? I..."

Jiang Zhi interrupted Lu Yan, feeling irritated. "Lu Yan, I'm very tired. I don't want to talk about our affairs now."

Lu Yan looked at the woman's pale face and said, "Go to sleep! I'm going outside. If you need anything, call me."

In the quiet environment, Jiang Zhi still had no desire to sleep.

She thought back to when she first met Xia Qianqian, she said.

—Jiang Zhi? Your name sounds so familiar.

So, she knew that she was Jiang Zhi?

Jiang Zhi couldn't figure out the scattered thoughts, and couldn't find the source. But as soon as he closed his eyes, all he could think of were Xia Fu's words.

The Jiang family is not considered a wealthy family in the imperial capital. Her father is just a university professor. Who could he offend to kill their entire family?

Maybe, Xia Qianqian would know something?

Jiang Zhi stayed in the hospital for two days and then went to work in the studio, but she did not see Xia Qianqian. Her colleagues in the studio said that Xia Qianqian had taken a month's leave, and even Shen Jie from the purchasing department had resigned.

She frowned and began to listen to them talking about Xia Qianqian in private.

"What kind of leave do you want? A month?"

"It can't be an abortion!"

"Isn't she the young mistress of the Lu family? She's pregnant with the Lu family's grandson, so why would she want to have an abortion?"

"You may not know this yet, but Mr. Lu is divorced from her. Pictures speak louder than words. I took this photo a few days ago when I accompanied my friend to the Mingzheng Bureau."

In the picture, two people are sitting at the door of the divorce hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The document in their hands can be clearly seen to be a divorce certificate.

"What's going on? That guy from the Lu family is such a jerk. I saw they had a pretty good relationship before. They were always picking each other up and dropping them off every day. They were so happy."

"My friend at the police station told me that Xia Qianqian's mother is a murderer!"

"what!"

"But I saw on her resume that both her parents are deceased!"

“…Who would write something like this on their resume?”

"I really can't believe she's this kind of person..."

"She was pretending to be a wealthy lady before. I didn't even think about her family's financial situation. I think the Lu family must have known about her family situation, so they wanted to cut ties with her completely..."

"That's probably the case! Think about it, the richer people are, the more they care about their reputation. For parents like hers with a criminal record, in the future..."

"That's not right. Why did I hear that the person who married Young Master Lu was his childhood sweetheart?"

"Wait, could it be that this Xia Qianqian is a mistress who has been promoted to a regular employee? Perhaps she's using her pregnancy to force the Lu family to take responsibility for her?"

At this moment, the information originally sent in private chat was posted to the work group.

"Ahem... retreat quickly!"

At this time, Xia Qianqian was lying there with a pale face. She had just had an abortion and almost died on the operating table. However, from beginning to end, Lu Yan never came again.

Even Qi Hong never appeared in the ward.

The police's voice still echoed in the ward. "Ms. Xia, this is the end of our record-keeping today. We understand the specific circumstances."

"Brother Police Officer, my dad...my dad was confused for a moment...that's why he did that...that Miss Jiang, is she okay?"

"Miss Jiang is blessed with good fortune and has been discharged from the hospital."

Hearing this, Xia Qianqian clenched her hands under the quilt. She knew that Xia Fu had bought a lot of gasoline, but how could it be... that she couldn't be burned to death.

She pretended to be relieved, "Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise I don't know what to do..."

"You should have a good rest too!"

The police were not in a position to say much about private matters, so they took the transcript and left the ward.

Xia Qianqian's vicious eyes became more and more terrifying. She took out her cell phone and looked at the message in the work group.

Junior is in the top position.

The daughter of a murderer.

Those words were so glaring that she was so angry that she threw her phone down. The thing she tried so hard to cover up was exposed just like that.

It must have been Jiang Zhi who said that.

She clenched her fists and her eyes flashed with hatred. She would never let her go.

But now, Lu Yan doesn't want her anymore, and the child is gone.

She doesn't have many bargaining chips in her hand now, how should she deal with Jiang Zhi?

A flash of inspiration struck her as she suddenly remembered the marks on Jiang Zhi's hands. She immediately got out of bed, picked up her phone, and called her elementary school classmate, "Fangfang, I heard you're working at the Jiang family now?"

"Yes, Qianqian, why did you call me suddenly?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

Xia Qianqian is holding a cell phone.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just tell me."

"Do you have any way to get Mrs. Jiang's hair?"

"What do you want this for?"

"I suspect that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family is a fake."

"What? How is this possible!"

"I feel like Miss Jiang is completely different from the one I saw when I was a kid! Something seems a little strange. She actually forgot who I am."

"Qianqian, when you said that, I suddenly remembered that I heard from an auntie who has worked here for many years that the eldest daughter fell ill and became a completely different person after returning. At first, they couldn't recognize who they were. I thought it was strange when I heard it at the time. Many of the aunties here took care of the young ladies when they grew up."

The more Xia Qianqian listened, the more she felt something was wrong. "Fangfang, we've all received funding from the Jiang family. You don't want to see Grandma Jiang being deceived, do you?"

It took her a lot of effort to coax the woman into helping her get the old lady's hair.

As soon as I hung up the phone, the door of the ward was pushed open.

The person who came in was none other than Jiang Zhi. Her eyes flashed as she looked at her body. There wasn't even a single wound on her.

"Zhizhi, I heard everything the police said. I'm glad you're okay!"
