After I died, I became the white moonlight of the crazy villain.
Chapter 143 Using the Xiang Family as a Scapegoat
I bumped right into Ge Zeyu's arms and didn't react for a moment. Ge Zeyu's arms were wrapped tightly around my waist with a lot of force.
It took him a while to slowly loosen his grip, and he looked down at me to ask, "Were you scared stiff?"
I shook my head and turned to look at the person who had suddenly rushed over. The person's clothes were disheveled, his hair was loose, and he looked like a madman because of his agitated state.
It took me a while to realize that she was Xiang Jiao, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. I wondered what had happened to make such a proud young lady like her turn into this state.
Xiang Jiao raised her eyes and stared at me blankly for several seconds, then suddenly knelt down on the ground in front of everyone. I was so frightened that I quickly took a few steps to the side and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Her actions instantly drew the attention of everyone around us, and curious onlookers formed a circle, pointing and whispering about the three of us.
As soon as Xiang Jiao opened her mouth, tears welled up in her voice, carrying a hint of genuine emotion, yet also a touch of deliberate affectation. "Jiang Wanying, I know I shouldn't have done this, but we're classmates. Wuyou was young and ignorant. Even if you have any grievances against me, you've already punished me. Why are you taking it out on my father?"
After saying that, she kowtowed to Ge Zeyu several times, repeatedly shouting, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended Jiang Wanying. I promise to stay far away from her in the future. Can you please let my dad go? My dad is just an ordinary small businessman. He would never harm a bastard like you!"
Her few words sparked endless speculation, and the people present immediately began to discuss it.
"***'s son? That sounds powerful. Did he accidentally offend someone and is being bullied?"
"What era is this? How can something like this still happen? The people above simply don't care about the lives of those below."
Various voices of discussion came from above, and I couldn't help but frown. I impatiently scolded, "Xiang Jiao, no one is causing you trouble. On the contrary, you've been causing me trouble. You deliberately ruined my reputation at school and spread dirty rumors about me."
I briefly recounted all the things Xiang Jiao had done to me over the years, and the people who had been gossiping immediately fell silent.
I took a deep breath and continued, "You've done so many outrageous things. If we wanted to bully you, we would have done it long ago. Why wait until now, when you suddenly and inexplicably come here kneeling down? Anyone who knows you would think you're begging for help, but anyone who doesn't would think you're threatening us?"
Xiang Jiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I sincerely want to ask Young Master Ge to let my father go. The incident of being chased and killed had nothing to do with my father."
Ge Zeyu and I exchanged a glance, not understanding how this matter had anything to do with Xiang Jiao's father.
From her fragmented description, I learned that her father had been taken away this morning because the police found that Zhang Liang had an extra sum of money in his account, and that the money had been transferred to Xiang Jiao's father.
Because of this money in the account, two unrelated people were suddenly linked together, and his father became a prime suspect. He has been taken away and is likely to be sentenced.
The Xiang family collapsed overnight because of this incident, and Xiang Jiao was truly desperate, which is why she thought of asking Ge Zeyu for help.
"I did find one of my suitors at school and asked him to cause trouble for Jiang Wanying, but you've already punished me after this was discovered, so I beg you to let my dad go!"
After hearing what she said, I roughly understood what had happened. The Fu family was using the Xiang family as a scapegoat.
No wonder, Fu Xinyi used his precognitive abilities from his rebirth to stir up trouble in the stock market and was highly regarded by Xiang Jiao's father. Later, he lost a lot of money due to the stock market crash.
For every person in the class who had received his favors, there was just as many who hated him. Those people were constantly chasing after him for money. Even though Xiang Jiao spoke up for him, her father still had someone give Fu Xinyi a severe warning.
Someone as vengeful as Fu Xinyi would seize any opportunity to seek revenge.
Thinking of this, I sighed slightly and told her, "You've asked the wrong person. You should think carefully about who was suspected first and why your father was suddenly suspected."
“If Ge Zeyu and I could make the decisions on some matters, you wouldn’t be here asking for favors. Evidence is essential for doing things. You know better than us what evidence is.”
Regardless, she was the only daughter in the Xiang family, and it was impossible for her to be completely unaware of what her father was doing.
She belatedly realized what she was hearing, and slumped to the ground, looking around blankly. Suddenly, her gaze froze, as if she had seen an enemy, and intense hatred burst forth in her eyes.
Then, she quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards Bian Jiahui, who had just come out of the company gate. Before anyone could react, she grabbed Bian Jiahui's hair and slapped her across the face.
Bian Jiahui was caught off guard and fell to the ground after being slapped. Immediately afterwards, Xiang Jiao kicked her in the stomach.
One kick wasn't enough; he kicked her several more times. By the time the security guard reacted, Bian Jiahui was already pale, clutching her stomach, with blood all over her body.
The scene drew gasps from those around them. Xiang Jiao was violently pinned to the ground, her cheeks pressed against the earth. Her cheeks were raw and chafed from her constant struggles, but she seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to curse Bian Jiahui.
"It's all your fault, you bitch! You were the one who approached my dad before, talking about a business collaboration, and asked him to transfer money into someone's account. It turns out it was all a scam."
"It wasn't my dad who hired someone to kill me, it was you!"
The farce only ended when the ambulance and police car arrived simultaneously, one was put into the police car and the other into the ambulance.
There was no sympathy in Ge Zeyu's eyes. Instead, he pinched my arm. "I originally thought that Zhang Liang's trail had gone cold. Now it seems that someone has given us leverage again!"
Everyone present heard what Xiang Jiao just said clearly. With so many witnesses, if Xiang Jiao's father is willing to testify, proving that it was Bian Jiahui who made him transfer money to Zhang Liang's account.
So, the mastermind behind the murder contract will fall on Bian Jiahui. In this crisis, will Bian Jiahui selfishly protect herself or continue to protect Fu Xinyi?
Suddenly, I felt a surge of anticipation. Ge Zeyu and I made a snap decision and went to the police station.
