Chapter 712 - 722: Difficulties (4)
Besides, he couldn’t help but consider what kind of public opinion would be stirred if Yang Peiyun exposed these things to the media and society.At that time, even he wouldn’t be able to protect her.
And once sentenced, it could be as little as over ten years, or as much as a death sentence.
Amid the watchful eyes and the clamorous public condemnation and accountability, how could he possibly protect her completely?
He had thought about telling her the truth, but he knew her too well.
Once she knew she had caused such a severe casualty in the past, without Yang Peiyun, or anyone else, she would willingly turn herself in.
She would suffer from inner torment and be willing to serve her sentence in prison.
But while she could do it, he could not.
He couldn’t bear to see her go to prison while pregnant and suffer such hardships, nor could he bear to see their child born in a prison, or accept that for the next ten years or more, they would always be separated as mother and child!
She had always been pampered and spoiled, how could she possibly adapt to such dark and damp prison cells!
And as a man, how could he bear to watch her suffer like that!
Moreover, he had always suspected that someone was targeting Qiao Mo, like a massive hidden hand behind the scenes.
He was even more afraid that once she entered a place like prison, he would no longer be able to protect her, fearing that no matter how many people he assigned to her, there would inevitably be a lapse.
So even he had to yield.
He sent people to investigate for a long time, refusing to believe that what happened eight years ago was truly Qiao Mo’s doing.
But how easy was it to investigate what happened eight years ago?
Back then, Qiao Dehou had all the traces cleaned up to cover up the incident.
And Yang Peiyun and her daughter had also sent people to erase all traces to prevent her from uncovering more truths.
In addition, the hidden hand behind the scenes wouldn’t leave any flaws for him, wiping out all traces of the past again.
So, saying it is easy, but investigating it is far from easy.
Moreover, now he not only had to investigate the truth of the past, but he also needed to find evidence to prove Qiao Mo’s innocence!
Yes, he didn’t believe, he simply couldn’t believe these were Qiao Mo’s doing.
But in the face of such clear video evidence, if he couldn’t present proof, who wouldn’t believe it?
Even Qiao Mo herself might not disbelieve it.
Not only that, the evidence provided by Yang Peiyun also included evidence of Qiao Dehou bribing the police chief and government officials back then, suppressing the incident with great effort and spending a large sum of money to protect Qiao Mo.
So once these things are made public, no one would believe in Qiao Mo’s innocence.
Thus, he decided to use Qiao Yun as a breakthrough point.
The fires, accidents, and truths of that year were probably only known to Qiao Dehou, Yang Peiyun, and her daughter, but now Qiao Dehou was in a coma, and Yang Peiyun was cunning and deep.
So he could only rely on Qiao Yun as a breakthrough point to gain her trust.
Perhaps Qiao Yun didn’t know much, but after relying on each other for so many years, she must know something.
After all, it is hard for people to keep secrets.
But by doing so, he was destined to let Xiao Mo down.
He was willing to bear all her grievances, anger, resentment, and even hatred, but he would still feel uneasy, panic-stricken, and heartbroken.
Even if he understood all her blame, he still found it hard to bear her alienation and unfamiliarity.
He would fear, more than anyone, losing her.
But he kept thinking that this pain was temporary, and as long as he could uncover the truth and prove her innocence, nothing would stand in the way of their happiness.
