Upon hearing these words, Lu Ning immediately became very nervous.

She subconsciously looked at Ji Chiqian: "So what should we do now?"

She was worried that Ji Chiqian's actions might be discovered by the Mo family, but she didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly.

That makes sense; Ji Chiqian used the Mo family's connections.

Several days have passed; Madam Ji must have found some clues.

Ji Chiqian was also a little surprised at this moment. Logically speaking, he was using his own connections, so his mother should not have found out so quickly that this matter was related to him.

Therefore, there must be something he doesn't know about this matter.

He looked at Lu Ning and said, "You go first, I'll handle things here."

Regardless of what his mother discovered, Lu Ning was not really suited to stay here.

Lu Ning was a little worried: "Will everything really be alright? After all, Mrs. Mo is your mother's best friend. She'll definitely be very angry if she finds out what you did."

“Even if Mrs. Mo is her best friend, what she did to cause the deaths of your parents is already a crime. After my mother finds out the truth, although she will be angry, she will not cover it up.”

However, Lu Ning was still somewhat unsure.

Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Ning: "I'll handle this matter. As for how to probe Qin Xiang's side, you'll have to do it yourself."

If Madam Ji finds out, then more people will know about this matter, and he needs to resolve things on the Ji family's side.

Looking into those deep eyes, Lu Ning felt an extraordinary sense of peace.

Before she left, she couldn't help but reach out and tug at Ji Chiqian's sleeve: "If your mother wants to see me, I'll explain it to her personally."

Ji Chiqian took her hand in return and said, "Okay."

Lu Ning didn't stay there for long; Li Man arranged for a car to take her away directly.

But she was still a little worried, and glanced at Li Man, saying, "How will Madam Ji handle this matter?"

"I don't think Mrs. Ji is the kind of person who would cover up the murderer. If people knew the truth, they would probably understand everything Mr. Ji did."

Li Man said this, but she knew in her heart that this matter was also related to the Ji family.

Madam Ji probably wouldn't hold Lu Ning accountable.

But Li Man felt a little uneasy.

If Miss Lu were to find out about this in the end, it would probably affect the relationship between the two of them, but she only thought about it and didn't dare to say anything more.

Not long after Lu Ning left, Madam Ji's car was already parked outside.

Mrs. Ji, accompanied by two assistants, stormed in with a stern face.

Upon seeing Ji Chiqian, she coldly asked, "Where did you hide him? Aunt Mo watched you grow up. How could you do such a thing? How am I supposed to face the Mo family after this?"

Madam Ji was furious.

She has been unable to sleep at night lately, investigating the disappearance of her best friend.

She had used almost all of the Ji family's connections, but still couldn't find Madam Mo's whereabouts in the past few days, which she found a little strange.

But in the end, she actually discovered a clue that was related to her son.

Madam Ji initially didn't believe it. After all, even if her son didn't like Mo Shiyi, the two families had always had such a good relationship, and the Mo family hadn't done anything to wrong the Ji family. Her son wouldn't go so far as to kidnap Madam Mo.

However, the clues found after the investigation proved that it was her son who did it, so Mrs. Ji rushed here in a huff, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

But Ji Chiqian remained calm at this moment.

He asked, "Mom, how did you find out about me? Who gave you the clue?"

Ji Chiqian believed he had been very careful, and that they shouldn't have traced him to him so quickly.

Could it have been done by someone from the Mo family?

"You still haven't answered my question. Who exactly told you to do this?"

Ji Chiqian looked into his mother's eyes: "Of course, it's to find out the truth about that car accident back then."

Madam Ji was taken aback: "Isn't the truth about the car accident back then already quite obvious? It was just an accident. It was all the Mo family's fault for running a red light, which caused the accident."

Is there some hidden story?

Ji Chiqian's tone turned colder: "I've always thought so too, until now I've discovered that the car accident was deliberately arranged by the Mo family."

“That’s impossible. Your Aunt Mo and I have a very good relationship. You’re practically her godson. How could she possibly harm you? And what good would it do her to harm you? The car accident wasn’t serious at all. You weren’t even injured.”

"Yes, I wasn't injured, but Lu Ning's parents passed away."

Wasn't that car accident an accident?

Ji Chiqian looked over, his eyes extremely serious: "If it were an accident, would I have done this?"

When Madam Ji heard her son's words, her heart sank.

After a long pause, she sat on the sofa and asked, "So what clues did you find?"

"The Mo family deliberately arranged that car accident to target Lu Ning's parents and to compete for that new energy project from back then."

Ji Chiqian recounted the whole story.

After Ji Chiqian finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

It took Mrs. Ji a while to recover before she said, "This is impossible. How could your Aunt Mo do such a thing?"

"After all, the Mo family was facing bankruptcy at the time. What wouldn't she do to revive the Mo family for this new energy project?"

Madam Ji paused for a moment; she also knew about the crisis that had befallen the Mo family back then.

But no one expected that the Mo family would seize the new energy project through such means.

“I know your Aunt Mo sometimes acts a bit extreme, but she probably wanted to cause a car accident to injure Lu Ning’s parents so they couldn’t bid. She wouldn’t actually kill someone, would she?”

Mrs. Ji felt that she knew her best friend well enough that she wouldn't actually kill her; that would cause trouble.

"But in the end, both of Lu Ning's parents passed away."

Madam Ji wore a wry smile. Yes, in the end, Lu Ning's parents passed away.

Ji Chiqian continued, "And she even dragged the entire Ji family into this mess."

“That’s impossible,” Madam Ji said outright.

“Why not? Madam Mo is thinking that if this matter is exposed, I will also be implicated in the car. In order to protect me, the Ji family will do their best to resolve this matter, and in the end, neither of our families will be in trouble.”

“But I still don’t believe your Aunt Mo would do such a thing. You were in that car because I was anxious to get you back, so I had her driver pick you up. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been in that car at all. She definitely didn’t intend to harm you.”

Ji Chiqian was in that car because of her, it had nothing to do with his best friend.

A hint of mockery flashed in Ji Chiqian's eyes: "Who said I have no evidence?"
