Jian Xi drove to a secluded small town outside Jiangcheng, following her memory, she found the “Haitian Law Firm.”
“Miss Jian, this is the letter your mother left for you,” Lawyer Shen, a bald man in his late forties who seemed very gentle, took a letter from a safe.
Jian Xi set down the teacup and took the letter.
The seal bore Jian Wan’s fingerprint; although ten years had passed, it had grown a bit old.
She tore open the letter and began reading, her gaze growing colder.
“Miss Jian, your mom dictated this to me before she fell into a coma.
You see…”
“I will find the killer,” Jian Xi stuffed the letter back into the envelope and carefully placed it in her bag.
“Uncle Shen, thank you!
But why didn’t you tell the police at the time that my mom’s car accident was very likely deliberate?”
Lawyer Shen gave a wry smile.
“There was nothing that could be done at the time.”
“You were my mom’s friend!” Jian Xi raised her voice.
“All I could do was wait for you to return.
As per your mom’s request, to wait until you turned eighteen, got engaged to the Nan Family, then to give you the letter.”
Jian Xi expelled a heavy breath from the depths of her chest.
“Fine, I will find out the truth.”
“Miss Jian, more than the truth, your mother would have wanted you to be happy…”
Jian Xi sneered, “How can there be uncracked eggs beneath an overturned nest?”
“Miss Jian…”
“I’m already fortunate to be back alive in Jiangcheng!” Jian Xi stood up after speaking, “Uncle Shen, just wait!
I won’t let anyone who hurt my mom get away with it!”
“Good!”
Lawyer Shen personally escorted Jian Xi downstairs.
Upon seeing her lavish red sports car, he was surprised, “It seems you’ve lived quite comfortably these years…”
“Not wealthy.
Very poor.
Qiao Yonghui barely left me enough not to starve abroad,” Jian Xi said with a cold laugh.
“That car…” Lawyer Shen’s eyes lit up, relieved.
“It must be a gift from the Nan Family?
Ah, your mother did not misjudge them.”
A small twitch appeared at the corner of Jian Xi’s mouth, “Uncle Shen, I bought this myself.”
“Ah?
Isn’t this car worth at least a million?
Where did you get the money?” Lawyer Shen was astonished.
“I earned it,” Jian Xi smiled faintly, “I’ve learned to make my own money, so you don’t have to worry.”
Lawyer Shen looked at Jian Xi in shock.
An eighteen-year-old kid, all by herself abroad… how did she earn money?
His mind immediately went to the rumors: The young Miss Jian got involved in messy businesses abroad, even sold herself…
His gaze turned sorrowful, “Miss Jian…”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Shen, my money is clean,” Jian Xi smiled, without elaborating further.
The clean remain clean, the tainted tainted themselves.
One day, she would show those who looked down on her just how formidable she was!
For now… it was better to keep a low profile!
“All right!
Contact me anytime!”
“Goodbye!”
…………
After leaving the law firm, Jian Xi went straight to the 4S store.
As soon as she entered, Manager Su greeted her with warmth, “Miss Jian, how’s the new car driving?”
“Very good!
Thrilling!” Jian Xi said.
“My old car, have you found out what was wrong with it?”
Manager Su’s expression turned solemn, and he lowered his voice, “Miss Jian, you were right, someone tampered with the vehicle.
They not only caused the brakes to fail but also destroyed the car’s normal torque.”
“Is there evidence?” Jian Xi asked.
This was what she was most concerned about.
If she hadn’t been busy with the engagement yesterday, she would have sought evidence herself.
“It’s not very conclusive, but we found this under the fuel panel.”
