Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

"Ling Che, actually, you suspected me as early as when I made the first payment to Ling Xiu De, right?"

Xu Zhaozhao laughed, "At that time, I said I lent it to him. You didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, you didn't believe me at all. That's why you kept checking the financial transactions between me and Ling Xiude."

Ling Che lit a cigarette, threw the lighter on the table, leaned back in his chair, took a puff, and waited for her next words.

"You checked correctly. Ling Xiu De came to me again a few days ago. The first time, he said he needed to pay off his gambling debts, so I gave him 10 million. The second time, he said his son was arrested and he needed money to rescue him, so he asked me to give him tens of millions more."

"I was afraid you would continue to investigate me, so I bypassed my own account and used my friend's account to transfer the money to him."

Xu Zhaozhao looked at Ling Che and asked with a smile, "So today's meal isn't about thanking me for my help, but rather about you trying to test whether Ling Xiude and I have some shady dealings, right?"

Ling Che took a puff of his cigarette, a smile on his lips.

Xu Zhaozhao is a smart person, and it is indeed easier to talk to smart people.

"Ling Che." Xu Zhaozhao twitched the corner of his mouth. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course." Ling Che replied.

Xu Zhaozhao asked, "Ever since Ruyi experienced the incident with Wan Danian, have you never trusted me?"

Ling Che looked at her without saying anything.

But his calm expression said it all, she guessed right.

Xu Zhaozhao laughed, "So until Ruyi was kidnapped and I became financially involved with Ling Xiude, you began to suspect that I had conspired with Ling Xiude to kidnap Ruyi, right?"

Looking at the man's deep eyes and calm face, Xu Zhaozhao chuckled, "Ling Che, so this is how I, Xu Zhaozhao, feel in your heart. What good would it do me to hurt Ruyi? What can I gain from all this effort?"

"You don't think I like you, so I hurt Ruyi for you, do you? I, Xu Zhaozhao, have everything I need, especially excellent men. If I liked you, I would have asked my grandfather to marry your family when you were in Country Y. Is there any need to wait until today to do all this?"

Every word she said was reasonable and full of emotion. Ling Che's eyes dimmed slightly and he flicked the ash from his cigarette. "What's your relationship with Ling Xiu De?"

"Do you really want to know?" Xu Zhaozhao asked.

Ling Che frowned and looked at her. Xu Zhaozhao noticed the impatience in his eyes and lowered her eyes, saying, "He has something on me, so he treats me like an ATM."

"What handle?"

Xu Zhaozhao raised his eyes, "About you."

Ling Che frowned.

"It should be about you and Ruyi."

Xu Zhaozhao sighed deeply. "I thought I could keep it a secret for you forever, but seeing how happy you and Ruyi are, it seems I can't keep it a secret anymore. I just hope you won't blame Ruyi after you find out."

When Qiao Ruyi's name was mentioned, Ling Che's eyes glared, "Speak."

Xu Zhaozhao raised her eyes to look at Ling Che, and after a few seconds, she drank the half glass of red wine in her hand in one gulp.

"Are you investigating Uncle Ling's death?" Xu Zhaozhao asked. "You're investigating Ling Xiude. Perhaps you found some clues from him? He asked me for money, saying he wanted to trade a secret for me."

"I didn't want to at first, but he said it was about your secret." Xu Zhaozhao, under the influence of alcohol, looked at Ling Che, "He said that the real murderer who killed Uncle Ling is right next to you."

Seeing Ling Che's frown, Xu Zhaozhao met his cold eyes and said word by word, "Chairman of Qiao Group."

"Also...Ruyi's father, Qiao He."

Ling Che's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly raised one corner of his lips into a sneer.

Seeing Ling Che's expression, Xu Zhaozhao knew that he had succeeded.

She hurriedly said, "When I heard him tell this secret, I was as surprised as you. My first reaction was that you couldn't know about this. If you knew the truth, what would you and Ruyi do? If Qiao He is really your father's murderer, then the person you are protecting with your life is not the daughter of your father's murderer?"

Seeing Ling Che's increasingly cold expression, Xu Zhaozhao quickly said aggrievedly, "I dare not tell you this, and I beg Ling Xiude to keep this secret."

She looked at Ling Che, her eyes moist. "So Ling Xiu De knew I was going to hide this secret for you and Ruyi, so he kept threatening me with this to force me to send him the money. I didn't dare tell you, nor did I dare tell my dad, so I had to find a way to raise the money for him myself."

Ling Che was too lazy to listen to what Xu Zhaozhao said next.

He had forgotten to throw away the ashes from his cigarette. He looked at Xu Zhaozhao with sharp eyes, "Ling Xiu De said it was Qiao He?"

"Yes." Xu Zhaozhao's eyes were red. "Ling Xiude said it himself."

Suddenly remembering something, Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly said, "You and Ruyi had a conflict some time ago. I thought you knew about it..."

Before Xu Zhaozhao could finish her words, the man in front of her threw his cigarette butt into the wine glass, stood up, walked around her and strode out.

She was the only one left in the huge private room.

Looking at the table full of untouched food, Xu Zhaozhao let out a long sigh and his brows relaxed.

Raising her hand, she gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. She curled the corners of her lips and said, "This Ling Xiu De almost killed me. Fortunately, he left some useful information."

......

A cold man strode out of the private room, his handsome face looking terrifyingly gloomy.

Qi Jin saw him come out and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Ling, where are you going?"

Ling Che's eyes were frighteningly cold, "Ling Family Manor."

Xu Zhaozhao's words reminded him that during that period, Qiao Ruyi suddenly seemed like a different person, saying some bullshit about not loving him and wanting a divorce, and during this time she was also thinking about doing some weird things to the Qiao Group.

The only explanation is that she already knew about it at that time!

If he guessed correctly, the only person who could make her say such bullshit about leaving him was the old man!

Ah!

Sitting in the back seat of the luxury car, he sneered.

OK, very good!

Everyone fucking knows the truth, but he's still trying to find out like an idiot!

How fucking ironic!

Keep him in the dark!

Qi Jin was driving the car while sitting in the driver's seat. He carefully glanced at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He caught a glimpse of his rapidly heaving chest and the bulging veins on the back of his hands, then quickly looked away.

Qi Shui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't dare to say a word. He just sat straight and looked ahead.

Without looking back, just by feeling the chill in the car, one could tell that Young Master Ling was on the verge of exploding with rage. Talking to him at this moment would be tantamount to seeking death.

The car quickly arrived at the Ling family manor. Before the car stopped, without waiting for Qi Jin and Qi Shui to get out and open the door, the man in the back seat immediately opened the door, got out, and strode into the manor.
