Chapter 302

Evening.

An Qiqi returned home in a very good mood and, in a rare occurrence, took the initiative to cook dinner for her parents.

During the meal, An Zecheng and Yu Zhen kept glancing at their daughter, their hearts full of worry.

Since returning home, An Qiqi had shown no signs of emotional distress. She ate and drank as usual, and seemed quite optimistic.

If she were a boy, it would be understandable, but a girl experiencing such a major event without any signs of distress, not crying or making a fuss, made the old An, who had fought in the political arena for many years, feel uneasy.

This was also why Old An hadn't been going to the military headquarters as often recently. He actually wanted to stay home and be with his daughter, but she didn't seem to need him at all, let alone any comforting.

An Zecheng took a sip of soup with a "calm" expression and asked softly, "How did the negotiation go?"

"It was fine! Bail, court, waiting for acquittal, just those things." An Qiqi picked up some greens and asked her mother with a smile, "How is it? Is my cooking okay?"

"Otherwise, I'll let Li Ren handle it..." An Zecheng looked up, still wanting to persuade her.

"Oh, Dad, I already said it! I can handle it myself." An Qiqi looked up and replied, "Your consulting team is so busy, let them do their jobs, don't worry, I can do it."

"Okay." An Zecheng nodded and said nothing more.

"Qiqi, my idea is to find you a job in Dragon City first..."

"You don't have to worry about that either, I have plans." An Qiqi immediately replied, "Don't worry."

"I think..."

"Let's not talk about these annoying things during dinner." An Qiqi said with a smile, "Why don't you guys comment on my cooking?"

The couple wanted to try to communicate with their daughter, to comfort her, but An Qiqi's reaction was very subtle, as if she didn't want to mention anything before today.

An Zecheng felt that his daughter hadn't adjusted her mental state yet, so he didn't say much more.

...

Washington, at the gate of a police station, two luxury cars were parked on the side of the road.

After a while, a middle-aged man led his daughter out of the police station building, followed by some relatives.

They were none other than the Qiuqiu father and daughter who had given false testimony in the An Qiqi case.

Now that the situation had changed, Kang Dinghuang, realizing that he could no longer use An Qiqi to his advantage, immediately abandoned that line and took the initiative to seek a settlement in order to save Xue Nan's life and give Xue Pingan an explanation.

This explanation was also "public and private"!

Privately, Xue Pingan had fished out Zhou Xian and sent the young master to heaven in Yadexian. As the biggest beneficiary, Kang Dinghuang, having promised to try his best to save the man's son, naturally had to show it.

Publicly, Xue Pingan was the only one who knew about Kang Dinghuang's plan to kill Zhou Xian, so what he said before his death would be very important. If Little Kang didn't fulfill his promise, Xue Pingan might say things in anger, which would be risky.

After all, the person was now detained by the Corps Headquarters.

So this action was driven by both morality and reason, and also showed the complexity of Kang Dinghuang's thinking.

...

Qiuqiu was arrested a few days ago for allegedly giving false testimony to frame An Qiqi.

This result stemmed from the shift in the situation. When Zhou Xian was around, the father and daughter could avoid criminal prosecution by framing others, but after Kang Dinghuang took over, he unhesitatingly abandoned them.

Xue Nan had already confessed and revealed the fact that he had bribed the Qiuqiu father and daughter. To resolve this case, there had to be a turning point, and the false testimony was undoubtedly the best breakthrough.

However, Kang Dinghuang had no hatred for the You family, so he didn't need to go to extremes when his subordinates were handling the matter.

It was enough to let Qiuqiu admit that she had given false testimony, so that the case could be quickly overturned and concluded.

However, what Father You didn't expect was that the situation had become complicated again today. Attorney Yu had just called him, and Qiuqiu's situation was very dangerous.

Everyone got into the car, and Qiuqiu glared at herself in disgust, cursing angrily, "These people's words are like farts! What did they promise in the beginning? Now they want me to stand up and take the blame?! Dad, do you know that giving false testimony will definitely lead to prosecution, and I'll have a stain on my record...!"

Father You glanced at her, his eyes complex.

"Inside are all women who are breaking the law! Drug addicts, prostitutes...you can find them everywhere!" Qiuqiu cursed viciously, "It's disgusting! Dad, I will die before I go in again."

"Daughter, things have changed a little!" Father You sighed and said wearily, "You may be facing more than just being prosecuted for giving false testimony!"

Qiuqiu was stunned.

"Xue Nan will be transferred to the Police Alliance in a few days, and he's going to bite you." Father You said in a hoarse voice.

"???!" Qiuqiu's face turned pale when she heard this, "What do you mean?! Is he going to say that I participated in beating Wang Ying?! What exactly are they trying to do?"

"It's not about beating Wang Ying! If it was just that, it would be at most excessive self-defense!" Father You clenched his fist and sighed, "Alas! He's going to say you're one of the masterminds! Because we took Zhou Xian's money to give false testimony before, so...he said that the Wang Ying scheme was done by you and him together, intentional homicide, intentionally framing An Qiqi!"

"Bullshit!!!" Qiuqiu shouted excitedly, "Isn't this framing me?!! When did I conspire with him, I don't even know him!"

"Daughter! None of that matters anymore!!" Father You shouted back, "What's important now is! Kang Dinghuang, who just took over this case, is preparing to settle with the An family privately!! You are now in a sacrificial position!"

"Why?! Why sacrifice me!?" Qiuqiu shouted in confusion, "I admit to giving false testimony, and this case will be overturned, and An Qiqi will be acquitted! Everyone can live in peace...!"

"Sacrifice you!! Because An Qiqi and Attorney Yu specifically made a condition!!" Father You's face was livid, "If Kang Dinghuang wants Xue Nan to live, then An Qiqi wants you to die!!"

Qiuqiu was stunned when she heard this.

"If this was an ordinary case, then everything would be easy to say!!" Father You cursed, "But damn it...too many people are involved behind this case! With a word from Kang Dinghuang, he can lay out all the evidence against you, and we have no chance to resist!!"

"Why? Why does she have to let me die!!"

...

Dragon City, the An family!

An Qiqi sat by the window of the attic, her bare feet and slender arms wrapped around her legs, with earphones in her ears, watching the starry sky outside.

The music was melodious, and the stars twinkled!

The rest of her life should be planned by herself...

"Di Ling Ling!"

A phone rang, An Qiqi pressed the answer button on her phone and said into the microphone, "Hello!"

"I'm going to Dragon City to find you!"
