Chapter 228: 228: Can’t Let Him Know

She had been so cautious with her plans, and she herself was seriously injured, hardly anyone suspected her.

Who would have thought she would be defeated by a single receipt…

It could only be said that the man before her was truly frightening.

“Since you knew it was harmful, Miss Meng should have used it for yourself, not to give it to Jin Lan.” Yao saw her stubbornness, and he didn’t beat around the bush anymore.

“Miss Meng, the thought to make Jin Lan take Spirit Departure Powder to kill Miss Qin and clear your love rival does show that you’re not stupid. It’s just that you also couldn’t have imagined, Jin Lan would be such a failure. After Qin Youxuan was gone, she accidentally stabbed you and then fell off a building and became a vegetable.”

Yao stared at the shocked expression on Meng Ziqi’s face, then continued, “But this is also good, Jin Lan turned into a vegetable, this planned murder becomes an unsolvable mystery. As long as you insist that Qin Youxuan hurt you, she will be identified as the murderer. Even if it is attempted murder, she would still be sentenced heavily and would stay in prison for life.”

“You, you’re talking nonsense… I didn’t…” Meng Ziqi could no longer keep her composure.

She thought she had a flawless plan, never imagining someone could reveal the truth.

Even Jin Chenye didn’t believe that Qin Youxuan was innocent. How would Dan Hanjie suspect her?

No! That’s not right!

The drugs in Jin Lan’s body had completely disappeared. Even if there was this receipt proving she’d purchased Spirit Departure Powder, it wouldn’t necessarily mean anything!

“Whether it’s nonsense or not, once we present all the evidence in court, Miss Meng will know.” Yao walked up to her, held Meng Ziqi’s wrist, and retrieved the receipt by prying her fingers open one by one.

“Miss Meng, you should know, once this receipt becomes court evidence, whether you win or lose, you can’t escape from the suspicion. Just purchasing such a vicious drug, the condemnation from the media alone would be enough to ruin your reputation and perhaps even harm your family’s business…”

“Jin Chenye is not an idiot. If he finds out that you intentionally used his mother to hurt Miss Qin and also caused her to turn into a vegetable, what do you think he’ll do?”

“No, I can’t let him find out!” Meng Ziqi was shocked, her beautiful face cracking, unable to conceal her panic.

She had plotted for so long, successfully driven a wedge between Jin Chenye and Qin Youxuan. She couldn’t allow everything to fall apart.

Jin Chenye thought that she’d been implicated for trying to save Jin Lan. From the time she woke up from unconsciousness, he’s been coming to see her every day.

Previously, she could only watch from a distance as he showered Qin Youxuan with gentleness, now that she finally had her chance, she couldn’t let anyone ruin it…

No.

Meng Ziqi’s psychological defenses were completely broken.

“Thump!”

Meng Ziqi kneeled from her wheelchair. Ignoring the wound on her back, she kneeled all the way to Dan Hanjie.

“Mr. Jie, please spare me, I promise from now on, I’ll listen to you in everything. If you say east, I won’t go west, just don’t divulge this, I can’t lose Ye. I can’t lose him…”

Meng Ziqi reached out and grabbed Dan Hanjie’s pant leg, her eyes full of tears.

Her tears had ruined her exquisite makeup. There was no trace of the elegance befitting a lady from a wealthy family.

Dan Hanjie leaned forward. His enchanting face held no expression as he looked down at her from above.

He waited until Meng Ziqi was almost out of breath from crying, then slowly curled his lips, “Are you really willing to sacrifice everything for Jin Chenye?”

Meng Ziqi choked up, timidly raised her head, hesitated, then heavily nodded.

“Do you know why I didn’t send the evidence directly to the court, but instead asked you to meet?” Dan Hanjie crossed his long legs leisurely, teasingly flicked his finger across his thin lips.

His movements were enchantingly seductive.
