Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Logically, There’s No Problem

Qiao Rui’s composure made Qiao Xiang even more furious and, at the same time, particularly guilty.

She felt that Qiao Rui’s gaze was a bit too sharp, damn it, she had not only become more beautiful, but her aura had also become so powerful, as if she were looking down upon the world with contempt.

She, a bumpkin lass, really didn’t know how high the sky was or how deep the earth was.

This time she failed to get her, and instead, she harmed herself, but Qiao Xiang wasn’t disheartened, she swore that someday, she would take down Qiao Rui with her own hands.

Glares fiercely at Qiao Rui, Qiao Xiang didn’t take the initiative to disengage from Pei Liyan’s embrace but instead clung even more closely to the man’s arms, hanging onto his body.

Pei Liyan carried her horizontally to the temporary command center at the cultural center. Naturally, he wouldn’t hold her any longer and placed her directly on the chair.

"I’m scared!" Qiao Xiang shrank back, wanting to continue clinging to Pei Liyan’s embrace.

But Pei Liyan had already said sternly, "Everyone is here, there’s nothing to be afraid of!"

"I thought I would be torn apart today!" Qiao Xiang muttered softly, with an implied meaning, naturally referring to Qiao Rui’s previous mention of "tearing up the ticket."

Qiao Rui didn’t speak, just looked at them indifferently.

Pei Liyan didn’t speak either, he glanced at Qiao Rui from a distance, his demeanor towards Qiao Xiang was also visibly cold.

"They were so scary, I was really going to be scared to death." Qiao Xiang still dragged her words a little, her voice slightly trembling.

Pei Liyan was obviously uninterested in her display and disliked such performances, so he said coldly, "If your psychological quality is so poor, I have to consider whether you are suitable to be my secretary."

Qiao Xiang was stunned for a moment, looking up at Pei Liyan.

Qiao Rui didn’t expect Pei Liyan to be so cold, but she found his words satisfying.

She could hardly keep from laughing out loud.

Looking at Qiao Xiang again, her pupils dilated, if pretending to be scared was acting, she was probably really scared this time.

She immediately shook her head. "No, I’m okay, President, I can overcome this myself!"

She just wanted to get closer to Pei Liyan, to show Qiao Rui in front of her that he treated her differently.

But she forgot that men actually dislike such frail women, she’s his secretary!

Damn it, she almost ruined it.

At this moment, Qiao Rui really wanted to laugh.

She turned her head away, not wanting others to see her laughing.

But who would have thought that Pei Liyan actually walked over, and Qiao Rui’s about-to-laugh expression was caught by the man.

The man gave Qiao Rui a warning look.

Qiao Rui immediately sat up straight.

By this time, everyone had returned.

"Let’s talk, what exactly happened?" Pei Liyan said in a deep voice.

Qiao Xiang became flustered. "I don’t know what happened."

Pei Liyan frowned, his face darkened, and his gaze towards Qiao Xiang became much sharper.

He Zheng was the same, his gaze slightly cool. "Xiangxiang, do you really not know what happened?"

Qiao Xiang’s heart skipped a beat, and she became alert.

She knew that since Gao Yan was caught, he would surely reveal that they had known each other for a long time, and if she played dumb, it definitely wouldn’t work.

Therefore, she needed to pin all blame on him before Gao Yan could speak.

"There was someone inside, supposedly a friend of mine; we were singing and drinking together. Later, after getting drunk, both He Lan and I were brought here. When I sobered up, I realized I was deceived, I was too naive, I trusted so-called friends too much, and I almost harmed He Lan."

"There’s nothing wrong with that." Qiao Rui spoke indifferently.

Qiao Xiang was taken aback, glancing at her.

Qiao Rui said, "Big sister, I’m just saying that what you said logically makes sense."

"Qiao Rui, what do you mean?" Qiao Xiang looked at her, her tone also becoming sharp. "I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and you actually wanted them to tear up the ticket, how much do you hate me to do such a thing?"

Qiao Rui knew she was acting, and since it was an act, such work was naturally her strong suit.

Qiao Rui also frowned immediately, showing a very wronged and aggrieved expression. "Big sister, I thought at that time you were collaborating with friends to lure me into misfortune, so I said that on purpose."

Qiao Xiang was then truly shocked, feeling incredibly guilty, her eyes dodging, and she sharply retorted, "How could I possibly collude with others to lure you to misfortune?"

"Because when big sister called me, it was like chatting, and you coordinated very well with the kidnappers."

Qiao Xiang was taken aback.

"And you should know, big sister, I grew up in the countryside, unloved and uncared for since I was young, so I have an extreme lack of security and I’m suspicious of everything."

Qiao Xiang was at a loss for words. "But, but you can’t just suspect me?"

"How about I apologize to you, big sister? I also rushed to help rescue you later on." Qiao Rui said, "I just didn’t find you, I only saw He Lan and carried her out."

"You saved He Lan?" Another shock for Qiao Xiang.

"Yes!" Qiao Rui nodded.

Qiao Xiang was extremely puzzled.

What exactly was Qiao Rui’s identity, how could she possibly have found He Lan?

Thinking of her escaping from the Pei Family’s basement, was she really different?

The Pei Family’s basement couldn’t trap Qiao Rui; it seemed this detestable girl really had some skill.

Qiao Xiang looked around the entire room, Pei Liyan’s eyebrows showing a faint color.

He Zheng nodded slightly.

Both Fang Mo and Si Ran were looking at her, and Lu Heming was watching her with a profound and inscrutable gaze, as if he were judging her.

Qiao Xiang felt her heart tighten and her eyes lower slightly as she said softly, "Being suspected by you is probably because I indeed know Gao Yan, I didn’t expect to be deceived so miserably."

"Miss Qiao." Lu Heming then spoke. "Just now, did you hear that you were drunk when you came in the early morning?"

"Yes!" Qiao Xiang nodded. "I also drank a bit, felt dizzy and muddled."

"Then the way you were laughing and chatting in the car doesn’t seem like you were drunk!" Lu Heming pointed out again.

Qiao Xiang’s heart sank again; how did they know she was laughing and chatting in the car, could it have been recorded?

Qiao Xiang’s face instantly paled, losing color.

Seeing her like that, Lu Heming’s gaze moved to Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan spoke, "Qiao Xiang, today’s events, I believe you will learn a very deep lesson."

Qiao Xiang locked eyes with Pei Liyan, he didn’t seem very angry, just gazing at her with a lackluster look.

She was confused.

Shouldn’t he be very angry at being doubted? Why is he so calmly composed?

She didn’t know what Pei Liyan was really thinking at that moment.

He Zheng then said, "By the way, Xiangxiang, just now we conducted a simple interrogation of those people, they said they did not harm you, were you really unharmed?"

Qiao Xiang was surprised; it seemed they hadn’t found the photo, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Shaking her head, Qiao Xiang said, "No."
