Chapter 725 - 735 Awakening (4)
"It seems this person is Yang Peiyun." Fu Nancheng spoke with certainty from his reaction."I didn’t expect she wasn’t dead. It seems she just wanted an excuse to send the two children to me back then. I should have realized it earlier." Qiao Dehou sighed softly, as if not entirely surprised.
"I know Qiao Yun is also your child, and maybe to you, they mean the same. But about the events eight years ago, I need to know the truth." Fu Nancheng didn’t show Qiao Yun’s photo to Qiao Dehou, worried that seeing Qiao Yun’s burns would stir his compassion.
"When I got to the hospital later, many police officers were there too. I asked a familiar friend and learned that Xiao Mo had caused the car accident, leading to a tragedy." Qiao Dehou lowered his eyes, as if still haunted by the events of that year.
After all, no matter how powerful or influential the family, this would not be a trivial matter.
And back then, he had already lost a daughter. He didn’t want to lose a second one and couldn’t bear to see her in jail, so he pulled a lot of strings to settle the matter.
"That time Xiao Mo fell into a coma, she remained unconscious for a long time. Fortunately, when she woke up, she had lost her memory, which gave me a sense of relief. But I feared you would come looking for her again, making her remember those memories, so I had her birthmark removed, changed her origin and background, wanting her to sever ties with you from then on, to live without bearing those burdens. I wanted to bury these matters completely, but who would have thought that after going through so much, you would meet each other again."
Fu Nancheng remained silent, saying nothing.
Actually, Qiao Dehou wasn’t wrong. Many events indeed stemmed from him back then.
If he hadn’t arranged to meet Xiao Mo, if he hadn’t wanted to take her away, maybe so many things wouldn’t have happened later.
"In my heart, I’ve always resented you, so I don’t wish for Xiao Mo to be with you again. But I also didn’t expect that after seven years, you are no longer the same young man from before; on the contrary, you’ve become the most prominent figure in Jiang City. At least in this regard, I admire you." Qiao Dehou spoke again.
Fu Nancheng still said nothing. The events of those years were too distant.
He didn’t want to say much. What he cared about now was Qiao Mo’s car accident from back then.
"After Qiao Mo’s accident was she sent to the hospital? Did they find anything in her body?"
Qiao Dehou frowned and thought for a moment: "No, the situation was chaotic at the time. Because more than a dozen cars were involved in the accident, along with some deceased people sent to the same hospital, the doctors were extremely busy, focusing mainly on saving lives and performing surgeries. I didn’t even get many test results, nor did I hear about the matter you mentioned."
Fu Nancheng frowned. This was truly not good news.
"After Qiao Mo’s surgery, I immediately transferred her to another hospital and did a comprehensive examination, but nothing unusual was found."
As his words fell, the room sank into a silence.
After a long while, Qiao Dehou asked again, "Are you suspecting that someone tampered with Xiao Mo back then?"
"Yes."
"But there should have been only Xiao Yun and Xiao Mo in the warehouse at the time. Why would she do that?"
After thinking for a moment, Fu Nancheng spoke again, "What was the relationship between Qiao Yun and Xiao Mo like?"
"I wasn’t home much at the time. Xiao Yun was a very obedient child. Although I brought both her and Xiao Mo home, she obviously won everyone’s favor more easily. Xiao Mo had a more withdrawn personality, but from what I remember, their relationship wasn’t very good, and they seldom spent time together."
