Chapter 257: We can’t let him hurt others anymore
Su Ziyao picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water for Qiao Jingyu, then put the kettle back where it was, and walked over to sit down opposite the sofa.
After some self-adjustment, Su Wanqing's emotions had calmed down a little. She raised her head, looked at Qiao Jingyu, and asked softly, "Are you here to look for Ziyao?"
Su Ziyao, who was sitting nearby, heard this and turned to look at Qiao Jingyu, his eyes also full of questions. He thought to himself: Even my father and grandfather don't know where my aunt lives, how did Qiao Jingyu find this place? Thinking of this, Su Ziyao couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to see me for?"
However, Qiao Jingyu shook her head gently and responded: "No, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see my aunt."
Hearing this answer, Su Wanqing was slightly stunned, a bit of surprise appeared on her face, and she quickly asked: "Looking for me?"
Qiao Jingyu nodded in affirmation and said, "Yes!" As she spoke, she glanced at Su Ziyao beside her thoughtfully. Because the matter was of vital importance, and she didn't know whether Su Ziyao knew about it. If she mentioned it in front of him at this moment, it might not be appropriate. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and the consequences of any mistake would be disastrous.
Su Ziyao was such a smart man that he saw the clues at a glance and understood in his heart: it seemed that Qiao Jingyu was not willing to let him hear what she was going to say next. So, he took the initiative to speak very tactfully: "Aunt, you two can chat first. I just have something to do outside." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.
Looking at Su Ziyao's back as he walked further and further away until he disappeared at the door, Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but smile slightly. Su Ziyao was really good at observing people's expressions!
After making sure that Su Ziyao had left, Qiao Jingyu slowly turned her head and cast her gaze back to Su Wanqing who was sitting in front of her. She said earnestly, "Auntie, to be honest, I came here today because I need your help with something. I wonder if you are willing to help me?"
After listening to her, Su Wanqing responded without hesitation: "Just tell me what's the matter. You are my savior. If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me. I will do my best to help you!"
Qiao Jingyu nodded slightly to express her gratitude, and then pondered for a moment, as if she was weighing the words in her mind. Finally, she took a deep breath and said carefully: "Auntie, this matter is about Lan Yue..." However, just hearing the word "Lan Yue", Su Wanqing's face instantly turned pale as paper, without any blood color at all.
Seeing this, Qiao Jingyu's heart tightened, and she quickly asked softly: "Auntie? Are you okay?"
Su Wanqing calmed herself down, reached out and gently tidied up the strands of hair that fell beside her ears, forced a smile, and said calmly, "I'm fine, please continue."
Qiao Jingyu was silent for a long time, as if organizing her words in her mind, and then she slowly said, "The collapse of the movie studio building due to the earthquake was not what Liu Zhenqiang said, but was caused by a mistake in Qin An's earthquake-resistant design. The real reason was that Liu Zhenqiang secretly tampered with the pillars of the building without Qin An's knowledge. However, what he did not expect was that an earthquake would suddenly occur. Faced with such serious consequences, this despicable man was afraid to take responsibility, so he pushed Qin An out as a scapegoat and let him bear the blame!"
Hearing this, Su Wanqing was shocked and her mouth opened wide for a long time. After a long while, she came to her senses and asked stutteringly, "It turned out... it turned out to be Liu Zhenqiang who did it?"
Qiao Jingyu nodded solemnly and answered firmly: "Yes, he did it!"
After Su Wanqing heard this, she felt a chill running down her spine, spreading rapidly throughout her body. Her hands began to tremble slightly, as if she had lost control. At the same time, her eyes became terrified, and her clear and bright eyes were now filled with fear. The horrible scenes that often haunted her in nightmares flashed before her eyes like a movie. And that extremely miserable scream, like a devil's voice, kept echoing in her ears for a long time.
Speaking of Lanyue Huafu, it is a commercial housing. This residential area was built by the famous Yusen Group. On the day of the incident, Liu Zhenqiang and the chief foreman of the project went to the construction site to inspect the work. At that time, they were on the 12th floor of the building under construction, and the whole building had a total of 32 floors. Since the main structure of this floor had been roughly completed, there were no construction workers working on the site.
Su Wanqing also went up to pick up the tools that had fallen before, and unexpectedly heard the sound of Liu Zhenqiang losing his temper and cursing.
Su Wanqing subconsciously stopped. The newly built unfinished house had no doors or windows and was particularly empty.
Su Wanqing quietly found a place to hide. She saw Liu Zhenqiang standing not far from the window and angrily scolding the chief foreman.
Because they were quite far away, Su Wanqing did not hear clearly what they were arguing about.
Later, their argument became more and more intense. Liu Zhenqiang pushed the chief foreman, who stepped on a stone and staggered back a few steps. Then Su Wanqing watched the chief foreman fall out of the window.
Accompanied by a scream...
"Auntie, don't be afraid!" Qiao Jingyu comforted her softly while tightly holding Su Wanqing's trembling hand. She knew that the incident had caused great psychological trauma to this kind and fragile woman. Thinking back to her previous life, when she ended her visit, she saw Su Wanqing crying heartbreakingly and fainting at one point, and Qiao Jingyu's heart ached as if being stabbed by a needle.
"I have more or less heard some inside stories about the Lanyue Huafu project. A young life was lost silently, but Liu Zhenqiang was able to continue to get away with it as if nothing had happened. Now, this devil is going to hurt innocent people!" Qiao Jingyi said indignantly.
At this time, Su Wanqing's face was already covered with tears. Grief and guilt intertwined, making her originally beautiful face look particularly haggard. Her voice trembled badly, and her words became somewhat incoherent: "It's all my fault. I killed Foreman Yang... If I had been braver at the time, if I had not been so cowardly, perhaps none of this would have happened... I was afraid that Liu Zhenqiang would retaliate against me, so I didn't dare to stand up and reveal the truth... It's all my fault, it's all my fault..." At the end, Su Wanqing could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and burst into tears. The cry echoed throughout the room, which was heartbreaking.
"Auntie, this is not your fault. I understand that you have concerns." Qiao Jingyu gently comforted Su Wanqing, "But we can no longer indulge people like Liu Zhenqiang, and we can't let the innocent Qin An be framed by him. Let's be brave this time. Don't worry, I will accompany you. Let's uncover his true face together, okay?"
