Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Confess Without Being Pressed_1

If before Xia Qingtian only had a fifty percent certainty that Chen Momo was the one who had poisoned, now she was ninety percent sure. The remaining ten percent was due to the lack of concrete evidence.

Thinking of Bo family’s old master being poisoned and still in the hospital and the woman standing before her being the prime culprit, Xia Qingtian’s heart was instantly filled with resentment.

As Chen Momo watched Xia Qingtian walk around the room, she couldn’t help but urge, "Hey, you have been looking for so long, you should have found ..."

Slap——

Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Qingtian slapped her.

The slap was so hard that she fell back onto the soft sofa and before she could react, Xia Qingtian grabbed her by the throat.

Chen Momo wanted to fight back, but the sofa was too soft for her. She was sinking into it, so she couldn’t muster any strength. Not even Xia Qingtian, who was heavily pregnant, she found, could she resist.

"Chen Momo, my grandfather is laying in the ICU, his life hanging in the balance. It was you who did it, wasn’t it?" Xia Qingtian asked with a gloomy expression, her voice filled with wrath.

Chen Momo’s throat was tightly constricted, causing her brain to reel with the lack of oxygen.

Hearing Xia Qingtian’s accusatory question, almost without thinking, she defended herself, "Don’t talk nonsense. I only visited him once, didn’t eat anything, just left. How could I have poisoned him?"

Xia Qingtian’s suspicions were confirmed by her denial, and she was so furious that her eyes turned red.

"It was indeed you!" She glared resentfully at Chen Momo.

"Don’t frame me!" Chen Momo faltered.

Xia Qingtian merely scoffed coldly at her plea of innocence.

"News of grandfather’s hospitalization may have reached many, but the fact that he was poisoned, rather than suffering a relapse of his old illness, has been kept quiet. If you did nothing wrong, why would you mention not poisoning him?"

A hint of regret passed through Chen Momo’s eyes.

However, Xia Qingtian knew now, and there was no point in denial.

Xia Qingtian, seeing her response, knew Chen Momo was accepting the blame.

Xia Qingtian would have liked nothing more than to strangle Chen Momo at this moment, but she knew the most urgent matter now was to find out what kind of poison the elder Bo had been exposed to and to cure it.

"What exactly did you give my grandfather? What poison did you use?" Xia Qingtian pressed coldly.

Chen Momo pressed her lips together, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

She had spent so much money, used so many channels, just to buy a bottle of the poison she wanted from the dark web, originally planning on killing the old Bo.

With that, Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian would be preoccupied with arranging the old Bo’s funeral, handling his affairs.

Though Bo family’s senior may not be as involved in Bo Group’s dealings anymore, his position was unshakeable. His sudden death would no doubt cause great turmoil within the Group.

Bo Jingyan would have to handle the company’s affairs then. The chance of him thinking about a DNA paternity test would be slim.

Unfortunately, the plan did not progress smoothly, and the old man did not die.

Still, her plan wasn’t a total failure. As long as Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan didn’t find out what poison the old man was exposed to, he would still die in the end.

Why would she sabotage her own plan at this point?

Seeing Chen Momo so resistant to cooperating, and the old Bo’s situation at the hospital, Xia Qingtian could no longer control her temper and slapped Chen Momo across the face again.

"Chen Momo, will you speak or not?"

The more furious Xia Qingtian became, the less likely Chen Momo was to tell her. "I don’t know."

"Then I will beat you until you do." As soon as Xia Qingtian finished speaking, she slapped Chen Momo more times. Chen Momo’s face was already swelling up, but she still refused to speak.

Xia Qingtian saw that Chen Momo had decided not to cooperate with her.

She could have called the police to handle the case, but she did not have the time to delay any further. For each minute that passed, the poison would cause even more damage to Bo’s senior’s body, so she could not afford to delay any longer.

So Xia Qingtian could only reluctantly release Chen Momo, gritted her teeth and asked, "Chen Momo, what will it take for you to stop?"

Seeing her like this, Chen Momo knew she had won.

"I ..." Just as she was about to tell Xia Qingtian that she would never stop, she suddenly had an idea, her eyes flashing a dark light.

She didn’t give Xia Qingtian any handles, but said ambiguously, "Although the poison is not mine, I do know a little bit about poisons, and could offer some hints."

Xia Qingtian asked coldly, "Conditions?"

Just a moment ago, Xia Qingtian had beaten her face to a pulp, and Chen Momo had refused to speak.

How could she suddenly be so cooperative now?

Seeing her taking the bait, Chen Momo was extremely pleased, an uncontrollable grin appearing on her face. But moving her swollen face caused the muscles to twitch painfully, making her shiver.

Thinking about how many slaps she had just taken, she wanted to take her revenge.

But considering her new plan, if she retaliated and left a mark on Xia Qingtian’s face, it would complicate matters. For now, she can only swallow the insult.

"First, let me go!" Chen Momo reminded coldly.

Xia Qingtian let go of her, but she did not let her guard down, in case Chen Momo turned the tables on her.

"You can tell me now, right?" Xia Qingtian urged.

Chen Momo, still obedient, rubbed her burning face and stated her demand, "You leave Bo Jingyan, leave A City, and never come back."

She had just realized that even if the old Bo were to die, Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan would only be heartbroken for a while, but they will still be just as in love. Even if she could hide the parentage of her unborn child, what would it accomplish?

Bo Jingyan never cared about the child in her belly.

He had even forced her to abort the baby.

The only reason her child was still in her belly was because the old Bo had pleaded for it. Once the old Bo was gone, nobody would care about her child anymore.

All that she had done was for naught!

The best plan was for Xia Qingtian to vanish forever. At that time, Bo Jingyan would be busy caring for the old Bo. If Xia Qingtian left, he would surely deploy people to search for her.

How would he ever have the time to deal with the DNA paternity test reports?

She could achieve her goal in another way. As long as Xia Qingtian never appeared, given time, Bo Jingyan would naturally move on. And since she would always be by his side, faithful and unyielding, she would eventually warm his heart.

To achieve her goal, the best way was to remove Xia Qingtian from the picture.

The more Chen Momo thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed. She continued with a bewitching tone, "How does it sound? If you leave Bo Jingyan and grant us happiness, the old man can stay alive."

"He loves you so much, you wouldn’t be so selfish to watch him meet with misfortune, would you?"
