Page 238 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Chi Jianshan was greatly alarmed, and the words of Bai Qing sprang up in his mind, stirring a sudden unease in him.

Bai Qing had said that Chi Yue’s background must be kept a secret, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

How could he have forgotten about this!

Composing himself, Chi Jianshan feigned calmness, "Why have you come back? Have you finally decided to find a way to get your sister out?"

Chi Yue slowly walked up to them, "What you just said, was it true?"

"What did I say just now? I said nothing! I’m asking you, have you thought it through, are you going to get your sister out?"

Chi Yue looked toward Yang Shulan, who quickly responded, "I didn’t hear anything."

After years of being together, Yang Shulan certainly knew that Chi Jianshan’s denial must have a reason behind it.

Chi Yue suddenly laughed.

"I didn’t expect you two to be so in tune, well, that’s good. Now when I ask you questions, I won’t be afraid of getting inconsistent answers."

After a pause, she continued, "What exactly happened in the car accident involving Fu Rongyin ten years ago?"

The faces of Chi Jianshan and Yang Shulan changed simultaneously.

The former, with a rigid face, said, "Fu Rongyin’s incident, you should ask him, not us. How would we know?"

Chi Yue, "Is it that you don’t know or you don’t want to say?"

Chi Jianshan, "What, you want to force it out of me?"

"If you really don’t know, it’s useless even if I force you." Chi Yue then looked toward Yang Shulan, "You must have a clear memory, don’t you?"

Yang Shulan with a cold face, "I don’t know what you are talking about."

Her expression was unnatural, clearly hiding something.

Chi Yue was not in a hurry, sitting down on the sofa, "If you can’t remember, that’s okay, I’ll stay at home tonight. Whenever you remember, that’s when I’ll leave."

"Chi Yue, what exactly do you want!"

"I just want an answer."

"There is no answer! The car accident back then was handled by Bai Qing, I know nothing about it."

Chi Yue slightly narrowed her eyes, "So the car accident indeed involved me. You don’t have to say, I will find out the truth. And you, Ms. Yang, justice will not be delayed, and the culprit cannot escape the law."

As she spoke, Chi Yue pressed the recorder.

The recorder played Bai Qing’s voice and those words detrimental to Yang Shulan, whose complexion changed repeatedly, nearly losing composure and trying to snatch the recorder.

Seeing her intention, Chi Yue played a few words then put away the recorder.

"What do you think if I hand over the recorder to the police..."

"No!" Yang Shulan shouted, "This thing, can’t be given to the police. Yueyue, we are all family, let’s talk this out."

At that moment, Chi Jianshan with an iron-faced said, "Come to the study with me."

Chi Yue gave a meaningful smile toward Yang Shulan, "Between us, there can only be enmity."

The study.

Chi Jianshan sat at the desk, opened the safe, and asked gravely, "How much?"

Chi Yue looked at him with a smirk, "Do you think I came back for your money?"

"Otherwise, what? Even if you learn about what really happened in the car accident, what then? Your mom has already compromised, and the case is closed, what else do you want to do?"

"I want nothing but the truth."

"The truth is what you see now, there are no hidden truths!"

Chi Yue stared at him, the obsession in her eyes growing heavier.

Seeing she wouldn’t give up, Chi Jianshan’s face darkened as he walked toward the door, "Just wait."

Chi Yue stood in front of the desk, looking at the black hair on the table and recalling the words she just overheard. She took out a sealed bag she carried with her and put the hair inside.

Just as she finished, Chi Jianshan walked back into the room.
