Chapter 721 - 731 Deduction (5)
A few people chatted for a while, and Yan Yiheng spoke again, "This mother and daughter are audacious enough to scheme against us. I’m afraid, third brother, that if you delay for too long, they will become even more aggressive!"Qin Zhaoran nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if Yang Peiyun finds out about your marriage certificate with Qiao Mo, she will certainly force you to divorce her and then marry Qiao Yun."
"Even if she has these things in her hand, I can’t be led around by the nose step by step." Fu Nancheng lit a cigarette, his gaze cold as ice.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Qin Zhaoran and asked again, "When will Qiao Dehou wake up?"
"I’ve announced to the public that it’ll be about another twenty days, but barring any surprises, he could wake up in the next couple of days."
"That’s great." A hint of light appeared in Fu Nancheng’s eyes.
Although he had already guessed most of what Qiao Dehou was hiding, if he could wake up, many things would become more certain.
Perhaps he would reveal some clues that they hadn’t noticed before.
"But third brother, you always said you felt that there’s a mastermind behind all this, and that even this mother and daughter might just be pawns in his hands?" Yan Yiheng asked.
Fu Nancheng nodded, his gaze somewhat lost in the smoke, "Exactly, the incident back then happened suddenly. If Qiao Yun truly experienced that fire and was indeed saved by Yang Peiyun, then their situation after disappearing should be very difficult. They couldn’t possibly have the financial resources and energy to investigate Qiao Mo’s car accident."
"Moreover, shortly after the incident, even before the news got to the press, Qiao Dehou had suppressed the matter. Logically speaking, she should have been busy taking care of Qiao Yun at the time, with no mind to investigate Qiao Mo’s accident. But if she wanted to investigate again after years had passed, it would be very difficult to find anything."
Qin Zhaoran nodded, "Indeed, Qiao Dehou was quite wealthy and powerful back then. Things that he suppressed would be very difficult for someone of Yang Peiyun’s status to investigate so thoroughly."
Yan Jiu squinted his eyes, "So, these things must have been given to Yang Peiyun and her daughter by the person behind the scenes. It might even be said that initially, Yang Peiyun and her daughter had no plans and were only prompted to use this information to threaten third brother after being guided."
Fu Nancheng nodded; he had rarely been idle lately.
He had also probed Qiao Yun during normal conversations, and although she remained vigilant, he could conclude that these so-called ’evidence’ was surely given to her and her mother by someone.
However, it might be that Yang Peiyun and her daughter also do not know who this person is.
"But what exactly is the purpose of this mastermind? Could it really be targeting you, third brother?" Yan Yiheng asked again.
With such deadly leverage, if the other party truly wanted to deal with Qiao Mo, they could easily make it public. Why go through so much trouble?
Fu Nancheng and Qin Zhaoran both frowned.
Indeed, what exactly is the purpose of this person?
What do they want? And why do this?
After pondering for a long time, Fu Nancheng spoke, "I still believe it is aimed at Xiao Mo. Just as I said before, collecting this evidence must have taken this person considerable effort and time, something not achievable in a short period. So she must have been targeting Xiao Mo from the start."
Besides, concerning the several previous incidents, he also had a vague feeling that they were all directed at Qiao Mo.
