Lots of netizens were particularly interested and invested in the progress of the case.
Even after the news of Xi Changzhi being interrogated by the police went out, Qiao An still remained as a suspect because she was affiliated to Xi Changzhi, her ex-husband.
After being stubborn and remaining tight-lipped for several days, Xi Changzhi finally pleaded guilty. He had no choice since the police had sufficient evidence against him.
Yet, he actually claimed that Qiao An was the one who instigated him to do it.
However, he did not manage to frame her.
The police were no fools and were not to be trifled with.
Despite being a figure of status and a well-known businessman, he could not overpower the Su family’s authority. Besides, there were numerous people who had been keeping close tabs on the case. Hence, the police dared not accept the bribes offered by Xi Changzhi’s father.
Two weeks after the murder took place, the police released the outcome of the investigation.
Qiao An’s name was finally cleared.
During investigations, the police discovered a video in a hidden folder on Xi Changzhi’s laptop.
It was a video of him and Li Wanru devising a scheme against Qiao An three years ago.
Xi Changzhi had kept that video in order to save himself in the event that the truth gets exposed.
He planned to trim the video and mute his voice to make it seem like Li Wanru was the mastermind behind it.
He would then manage to shift all the blame to Li Wanru, who could not testify against him since she did not have any evidence.
Yet, his plan would not work now since he did not have time to trim or edit the video at all.
The police had already found it and published it to the media.
The video caused an uproar amongst citizens.
Su Yan had been doing everything he could to find evidence to prove Qiao An’s innocence. To his surprise, the truth unfolded itself.
Xi Changzhi would be facing punishment by the law of R Nation.
Li Wanru was sent to court for being in cahoots with Xi Changzhi as well.
Li Wanru initially thought that it would be impossible for Qiao An to recoup her assets since they had already been transferred to her own account so many years ago.
However, she made a miscalculation.
According to the law of R Nation, the assets would be returned to the giver in the event that the beneficiary causes the giver any harm.
Now that Li Wanru had been found guilty for harming her biological daughter, Qiao An possessed the right to fight for her immovable property and assets to be returned to her account. Besides, Qiao An had also testified in court that she did not bequeath her assets to her mother willingly and that her mother had absconded with the assets.
Li Wanru was on the verge of losing her mind after she found out.
However, she was helpless and could only wait for her fate to be decided by the law. There was nothing she could do to stop her assets from being seized.
In the end, she was sentenced to two years in jail for framing Qiao An.
Needless to say, Xi Changzhi was sentenced to a death penalty.
After the truth was out, Qiao An dolled herself up and proceeded to meet Xi Changzhi.
Xi Changzhi wanted to leave the instant he saw her. However, the door was closed and he could not exit.
Qiao An smirked and sneered, “What’s the matter with you? You were so smug and arrogant yesterday. Why have you become so ashamed today? You should be feeling honored that I’m here to see you. I didn’t expect that you would end up in prison so soon.”
He sat down and glared at Qiao An, who was grinning widely. “Take it that Lady Luck is smiling at you instead of me. Do you really think you’d be able to escape if someone didn’t find you that day? None of these are enough to make up for what you owe me. It’s already been so many years. I’m sure you know the reason behind my actions.”
“That’s my purpose for coming here today. Why do you have to do everything you can to jeopardize my life? I really don’t know the reason.”
“You…” Xi Changzhi was exasperated, for she had no idea what the reason was at all. She was completely clueless!
“That’s why you have to tell me,” said Qiao An.
Of course I must tell her. Otherwise, I’ll never have the chance to tell her again. I must ensure that she never gets to live in peace!
Hence, he said, “Do you still remember that Mu Caiyi?”
“Mu Naiyi 1?”
“Mu Caiyi!” he emphasized.
Shaking her head, Qiao An said, “I don’t.”
“You don’t know her? You two were classmates in your second year of university. How dare you lie,” he said with bloodshot eyes.
“Did you get the wrong person? I admit, I do have a poor memory, but I really don’t know who that person is. If you don’t believe me, I can show you my graduation photo. Would you like to see it?” Qiao An asked, smiling.
“She died before she even got to graduate. She obviously wouldn’t be in the photo. Qiao An, you’re absolutely revolting. You don’t even have the guts to own up to your mistake!”
“You’re not making any sense at all. I really don’t know who Mu Caiyi is at all. Why don’t I go back to Northern Prefecture University and check if there was a Mu Caiyi in my class back then?”
“Northern Prefecture University? You graduated from that university?” he asked with a squint.
“Of course.”
“Were you not from Beiyuan University?”
Qiao An scoffed and said, “I’m sure you got the wrong person. The only person who attended Beiyuan University in the Qiao family is my cousin, Qiao Luo.”
Extremely agitated, Xi Changzhi exclaimed, “How can that be? I was clearly told that it’s Qiao An, not Qiao Luo!”
“Is Mu Caiyi the woman Qiao Luo killed by running her over by accident?”
Xi Changzhi was dumbfounded. He refused to believe or admit that he had made such a stupid blunder and took revenge on the wrong person.
Back then, he had a tiff with his girlfriend, Mu Caiyi, after which they both gave each other the cold shoulder. Being prideful and arrogant, neither of them wanted to contact the other person first. However, he could not tolerate the silence anymore and decided to contact her after some time, only to discover that she had already passed away. The two of them did not go to the same university and had instead met each other online. Their friendship progressed into a cyber relationship. However, he found out about her death too late, because they did not have any mutual friends.
When he questioned Mu Caiyi’s parents, they simply told him that the culprit who killed Mu Caiyi was the daughter of the Qiao family who was attending the same university at the time. They kept her name from him because the Qiao family had given them a hefty compensatory sum and requested for them to keep the name of the culprit confidential.
After some investigation, Xi Changzhi found out that Qiao An was the only person in the Qiao family who was attending university back then.
Hence, he deduced that Qiao An was the one who killed Mu Caiyi.
Qiao An said, “Seems like you really thought I was the culprit. Back then, Qiao Luo left to go abroad after paying the compensation sum. Hence, I became the only female member of the family who was attending university at the time. This is such a terrible misunderstanding. I really don’t know what to say about this. Xi Changzhi, I actually find it really amusing now that I’ve learned the reason behind all your actions. I’m sure we won’t meet again. Go ahead and reincarnate after you die. Don’t act so foolishly again in your next lifetime.”
Qiao An left after saying her piece.
