Chapter 430 - 430 The Fight Between Good and Evil
In the end, Qiao An mustered her courage and told him, “The real Sister Qianqian is already dead.”
How could Huo Zhou accept this cruel blow? After all, he loved Qianqian wholeheartedly. In fact, because he could not forget Qianqian, he chose to die alone.
Qiao An sighed. “I know it’s hard for you to believe this fact, but it’s true. Sister Qianqian died six years ago.”
Huo Zhou’s tall and mighty body trembled. Although he was unwilling to accept this cruel truth, he noticed that Qiao An’s voice was no longer mixed with coldness and alienation, but filled with respect and affection when she spoke about the dead Qianqian. His determination wavered.
!!
“How did she die?” he asked.
Qiao An glanced at him. “It’s best if you don’t know.” Because Sister Qianqian had died too tragically, every time Qiao An recalled it, she felt pain in her bones.
How could she let the kind Huo Zhou accept such a blow?
Huo Zhou looked at Qiao An’s red eyes and realized that Sister Qianqian had not died peacefully.
In the end, he was unwilling to accept the cruel fact that Qianqian had already passed away. He shook his head desperately. “Qiao An, you know that if you can’t give me ironclad evidence, I can’t believe you.”
Qiao An said, “Tomorrow, accompany me to see someone and you’ll know if I’m telling the truth.”
Huo Zhou looked doubtful. “Okay.”
The next day, after Qiao An was discharged from the hospital, the first thing she did was to go to the place where Rosa was imprisoned with Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou.
Huo Zhou was puzzled. “Why are we here? Qiao An, this is the Public Security Bureau. No one can barge in.”
Huo Xiaoran explained to him, “They took the initiative to reach out to Qiao An.”
Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.
At this moment, the staff saw them and walked up to welcome them. He even said very warmly, “This is Miss Qiao An, right?”
Qiao An nodded.
“Please follow me in.” The staff brought Qiao An into the office.
In the office, Old Master Xiao sat upright. He gestured for Qiao An to look at the big screen behind her.
Qiao An turned and realized that there was a large silver screen behind her.
Old Master Xiao said, “Qiao An, help us identify the people here. Have you seen them?”
Qiao An looked at the profile pictures. They were all bandits who had kidnapped her a few days ago. Old Master Xiao said, “I suspect that their motive for kidnapping you is related to that list. They should be from the drug cartel. But we don’t have evidence and can’t convict them of a serious crime. If we only punish them for kidnapping, it will be too easy on them.”
Qiao An looked at the kidnappers’ ID photos and information on the big screen. She found their faces especially unfamiliar. She shook her head proudly.
When Rosa’s face appeared on the screen, Qiao An called out excitedly, “I’m sure she’s the sub-chief of the drug cartel.”
Old Master Xiao was very excited. “That’s great. Qiao An, are you willing to confront her?”
Qiao An nodded.
Soon, they escorted Rosa over.
Rosa was clearly stunned when she saw Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou waiting at the door. She subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Huo Zhou subconsciously glanced at her and felt that she looked familiar, but when he looked at her face carefully, he felt that she was unfamiliar.
Huo Zhou watched as Rosa entered the office. Huo Xiaoran teased him with a faint smile. “Do you find her familiar?”
Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran in surprise. “Who is she?”
“Does she look like your Sister Qianqian?” Huo Xiaoran asked.
Huo Zhou was enlightened. Rosa really looked like Qianqian.
But he immediately came back to his senses. “She can’t be Qianqian.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “She deliberately disfigured herself and used a paternity test report to leave no doubts about her identity. All of you have been deceived by her for so long. She’s not Lu Qianqian. She’s Lu Qianqian’s sister who has been missing for many years.”
Only then did Huo Zhou snap out of his daze. “When Qiao An first saw ‘Lu Qianqian’, she made things difficult for her. Was it because she already knew that she was the fake Lu Qianqian?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “An’an witnessed Sister Qianqian’s death six years ago. Now that Lu Qianqian suddenly appeared, An’an is naturally wary of her.”
Huo Zhou found it difficult to accept Sister Qianqian’s death. When he spoke again, his voice was clearly trembling with sadness. “I want to know how Qianqian died.”
Huo Xiaoran patted his shoulder. “Every time An’an mentions Sister Qianqian’s death, she’s so sad that she can’t control herself. She can’t tell me about Qianqian’s death. I think Sister Qianqian died very tragically.”
Huo Zhou clenched his fist and stuffed it into his mouth, trying to stop himself from crying.
“I don’t believe it. Xiaoran, I don’t believe it. Sister Qianqian is such a gentle and kind person. Why did she die so early?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Zhou Zhou, I know it’s difficult for you to accept this fact. You can cry and make a scene, but you can’t continue to live in a fake world.”
In the office, Rosa was escorted to Qiao An. The two girls stood facing each other. When their eyes met, they seemed to want to disintegrate each other’s armor.
“What should I call you?” Qiao An asked.
“Didn’t I tell you? My name is Rosa.” Rosa smiled.
Old Master Xiao examined the two girls. The intelligence in Rosa’s eyes made him worry that Qiao An, who was too inexperienced, could not deal with this female drug lord.
Qiao An didn’t seem flustered at all. She said leisurely, “No, you’re not Rosa. You’re Lu Qianqian!”
Old Master Xiao looked at Rosa. He could not connect her to the disfigured Qianqian.
Rosa smiled. “Lu Qianqian? Qiao An, are you making up a story? How can I be Lu Qianqian? You’re mistaken.”
Qiao An smiled. “You’re indeed not Lu Qianqian. You’re Lu Qianqian’s imposter. Aren’t you the disfigured woman?”
Rosa’s lips curled, dismissive of Qiao An’s suggestion. “Do you have evidence?”
Qiao An turned to Old Master Xiao and said, “Can you do a paternity test for her and Uncle and Aunt Lu? As long as their paternity test is validated, I can confirm that she’s the Lu family’s daughter.”
Old Master Xiao questioned, “Qiao An, the Lu family originally had two daughters. Even if her biological relationship with the Lu family is established, it can’t prove that she pretended to be Qianqian. She might be the Lu family’s lost daughter.”
In his heart, Old Master Xiao did not want to believe that the disfigured woman, Lu Qianqian, who returned that day, was fake.
