BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1974 - Why Bother?
Chapter 1975 I Didn’t Do It
Ye Jian was getting closer and closer to the truth. She didn’t want to waste any more time. With a vicious expression, she said, “You’re lying too much.” She pressed the back of the knife on his right thumb and pretended to say, “What’s mentioned in the diary that my mother left behind is very different from what you’re telling me now!
“Do you really want me to slice off two more of your fingers?”
The back of the knife was pressed tightly against Sun Yaozu, causing him to scream in fear. He looked at the ruthless young face in front of him and shouted, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. You… Take the knife away… Take it away.”
Sun Yaozu didn’t suspect that he was being tricked. He really thought that Ye Jian had gotten her hands on her mother’s diary. Otherwise, why would she look for him?
“Someone… Someone found me… They let your mother see me on purpose. I don’t know who it was. I took a sum of money and just listened to their arrangements.
“Your mother spotting me was a deliberate arrangement. Someone wanted your mother’s life. They took someone else’s money and did things for them. I’m telling the truth. It’s all the truth. The knife… Take the knife away… Take it away.”
Ye Jian didn’t doubt the authenticity of these words. Commissioner Cai told her that her mother seemed to have sensed that she might not be able to return safely back then. Hence, she secretly entrusted her comrade to pass her diary to Commissioner Cai, whom she trusted the most.
That meant that her mother had already guessed that someone wanted to kill her.
Ye Jian felt as though a huge rock had sunk into her heart. She asked in a hoarse voice, “Who’s that person? Did you see the person who shot my mother?”
The person who shot her mother was wearing the same uniform as her. The truth was cruel. She could not believe that this was the truth. How could one shoot their own comrade?
She did not believe it!
There must be something wrong here! There must be!
“I don’t know. I really don’t know. I’ve told you everything I know. I didn’t shoot your mother. I didn’t do it!”
Ye Jian stared at him intently and observed his expression carefully. He wasn’t lying to her this time.
“You’re a fugitive. How did you recover your identity?” Ye Jian asked her last question. As long as she got the answer, she would solve the problem of the murderer who killed her mother together with her!
“Someone helped me and told me that they could resolve the issue with my identity. The prerequisite was that I had to keep a close eye on Ye Zhifan… but I wasn’t allowed to find trouble with him.
“They used a voice changer. I couldn’t recognize them. I’m not lying to you. I really don’t know who that person is.” At this moment, Sun Yaozu had nothing else to hide. He told her everything she needed to know just to save his own life. “I also know about your father’s death. The old woman didn’t like your father. She kept asking about money. Your father was forced to leave home by the old woman to take on dangerous jobs. The old woman forced him to go take on that dangerous job.
“Ye Jian, I’ve told you everything I know. If I’m hiding anything from you, I’ll die a horrible death!” He even took an oath.
Ye Jian, who knew enough, glanced at Sun Yaozu, who thought that he could leave alive. She smiled and said, “Okay, I understand. I’ll look into what you just told me.”
She would continue investigating until she found out the truth!
