Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Shouldn’t Have Fallen in Love with Him

He Zheng was very puzzled. "What in the world is going on?"

"There’s been a change in plans," Pei Liyan glanced at him, then instructed Si Ran, "You and He Lan wait a moment."

"Yes!" Si Ran had not expected Pei Liyan to suddenly show up; this arrival definitely meant that something had changed.

He Lan, however, was very puzzled, "President Pei, what in the world is going on?"

"It’s nothing, you don’t need to worry about it," Pei Liyan glanced at He Lan, "Just have fun playing!"

"I’m not young anymore, and I’m not always playing!" He Lan felt a bit like a hero without a cause to fight for. "If there’s anything I need to do, just call on me, I’d face death without hesitation!"

Pei Liyan looked at her, saying, "Good, at last you sound a bit more reasonable."

"President Pei, do you think I was too confrontational with Qiao Rui at the engagement party yesterday?"

"If you’re aware of it, that’s good," Pei Liyan said.

"I know, I’ve always known," He Lan chuckled mischievously, "I did it on purpose. I just think she’s not good enough for you, and I still think so now, though I don’t dislike her as much anymore. I’m not irrational, I just feel like you’re a fresh flower stuck, oh, not exactly in cow dung, but it feels like you’re planted in the wasteland, such a shame."

Pei Liyan’s lips twitched, and he looked at He Lan speechlessly.

He Zheng furrowed his brows. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"What’s there to be afraid of, Qiao Rui isn’t here, I’m not scared!" He Lan protested, "I’m expressing my feelings; nobody governs heaven and earth, can they govern people shitting and farting?"

"Vulgar!" He Zheng said.

"Brother, don’t you shit and fart?" He Lan retorted irritably.

He Zheng’s face darkened!

Beside them, Si Ran was also stunned, having never seen He Zheng’s face so embarrassed before.

Her gaze landed on He Zheng’s face.

Feeling her stare, He Zheng’s face inexplicably heated up.

"Shut your mouth, don’t talk," He Zheng ordered irritably.

"Wow, my brother is shy, his face has even turned red!" He Lan laughed twice, taking delight in his misfortune as she said to Si Ran, "Si Ran, did you see that? My brother can actually blush, it’s really so unexpected."

Pei Liyan was also speechless; He Lan was causing too much of a ruckus.

He Zheng was also extremely embarrassed.

Luckily, Fu Yichen returned. He cheerfully said to Pei Liyan and He Zheng, "Found it, President Pei, He Zheng, come with me."

Pei Liyan nodded and followed him.

Before leaving, He Zheng glared at He Lan and then glanced at Si Ran.

Si Ran couldn’t help but snicker.

He Zheng’s face turned even redder.

Damn it, his image was completely ruined; he really had a troublesome little sister.

Fu Yichen had borrowed a small conference room at the police station, and after they went in, it didn’t take long before a police officer brought Qiao Xiang over.

Seeing Pei Liyan and He Zheng arrive together, Qiao Xiang’s eyes reddened immediately.

"Liyan, He Zheng, I knew you guys wouldn’t be so heartless, you must know that I’ve been wrongly accused."

Seeing Qiao Xiang’s reaction, Pei Liyan looked disappointed; his cold gaze fixed on Qiao Xiang, and seeing her appear completely unrepentant, his disappointment was absolute.

"Yes, President Pei and He Zheng wouldn’t ignore you!" Fu Yichen spoke to Qiao Xiang.

Pei Liyan and He Zheng remained silent.

Four people took their seats.

Qiao Xiang was excited; she had truly thought they were going to ruin her completely, but now, they had actually come. They must be here to save her.

Qiao Xiang’s excitement grew as she anticipated Pei Liyan saying something.

Fu Yichen was also looking at Pei Liyan, puzzled by his stern expression, and asked, "Brother Pei, He Zheng, what do you want to say? Just say it."

Pei Liyan glanced coldly at Fu Yichen, a look that sent chills down Fu Yichen’s spine.

Qiao Xiang shivered too, startled by his icy gaze.

They weren’t here to take her back? To revoke the police report?

"Yichen, since you’re here today, the four of us will watch a video," Pei Liyan finally spoke.

Qiao Xiang’s heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble. "What video?"

Glancing coldly at Qiao Xiang, Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "Of course, it’s related to you."

His words seemed calm, but the voice carried an intimidation and oppressiveness that made one’s heart tremble unconsciously.

Fu Yichen was also taken aback and pressed, "Brother Pei, show it, I want to see what it’s about that concerns Qiao Xiang."

Pei Liyan took out his phone and played the video with sound sent by Qiao Rui.

Soon, Qiao Xiang’s voice filled the room: "Ask her for ten million, all you need to do is lure her over, and I can give you another twenty million! Thirty million in total, ten million for each of you, enough for you to live a life of ease..."

"Isn’t she your sister?"

"That girl from the countryside, it’s not even clear if she’s my uncle’s child; do you think I would be kind to her? Especially since she’s stolen my lover, my future, and now she wants to take my Qiao Family too, I can’t agree."

...

After hearing these words, Fu Yichen stumbled, staring at Qiao Xiang in disbelief.

He Zheng too was astounded, looking at Qiao Xiang in disbelief.

But Pei Liyan’s expression remained calm.

Qiao Xiang was also shocked, shaking her head furiously, "No, this isn’t, this video is a fabrications, it’s not me!"

"Qiao Xiang, you had better think carefully about what you’ve said!" Pei Liyan’s tone was frosty.

"President Pei, why do you want to frame me?" Qiao Xiang burst into scornful laughter after a pause, looking at Pei Liyan with hatred. "Even if it’s to please Qiao Rui, you don’t have to fabricate such a video to slander me, right?"

"Qiao Xiang, it seems you’ve forgotten the past affairs," Pei Liyan said with a cold laugh, "Xu Nuosheng and Gao Yan, all three of them have identified you—witnesses, testimonies, and motive. Do you think you can simply deny everything, dismissing it as us fabricating a video?"

Qiao Xiang turned pale, staring at Pei Liyan with wide-open eyes.

Fu Yichen was also stunned. "Brother Pei, give Qiao Xiang a chance; I believe she must have her reasons."

"Yichen, you should know that my coming here today is a show of respect for you," Pei Liyan said gravely, "but Qiao Xiang doesn’t appreciate it."

He Zheng sighed, "Liyan wanted her to tell the truth earlier, but she just wouldn’t come clean."

Fu Yichen was taken aback, unsure of what to say next.

All he could do was look toward Qiao Xiang.

Qiao Xiang, eyes full of shock, looked at the three of them.

Pei Liyan was very capable, actually obtaining this video, coming here to embarrass her.

Suddenly, she laughed miserably. "Yes, it was me, in cahoots with outsiders, kidnapping my sister. I am jealous of her, I wanted to get back at her. Deal with me however you want, I don’t care anymore."

"Qiao Xiang." Fu Yichen exclaimed in astonishment, "Don’t be foolish, explain things clearly to Brother Pei, you must have your reasons."

"All my reasons are because of him!" Qiao Xiang pointed at Pei Liyan, "I should never have fallen in love with him, otherwise, I wouldn’t be so jealous, so mad, doing things I can’t even control myself. If there’s truly a mistake, the mistake is that I should never have fallen in love with him."
