There were several videos. The first was near Qilixiangdu, where Shen Chiyan pushed Song Qinian away as the car crashed into him.
Besides the occasional passing cars and the hit-and-run vehicle, there was also a person hiding behind a large tree nearby, watching the entire scene unfold.
Although that person was fully disguised, their build suggested an elderly woman in her fifties.
The second video was of Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao, holding a limited edition Lingna Belle plush toy, looked at the person on the video screen with a sincere expression and said, "Qiaoqiao would never mistake someone. This person is my grandma. And that night, after I woke up from a nightmare, I found Grandma wasn't home. I used the home phone to call Grandma, and she said she was on her way back and would be here soon. I even heard very loud braking and impact sounds. I thought something had happened to Grandma and was very worried. I originally wanted to call Xinxin, but Grandma told me not to contact Xinxin. Not long after, Grandma came back."
Gao Kunlun said coldly, "You can say we mistook the person, but you can't say even your own granddaughter would mistake you. Furthermore, you might not know that your home's landline can record calls. The conversation between you and Qiaoqiao during that time, as well as the impact sounds Qiaoqiao heard, were all recorded. The time period matches the car accident."
Feng Wanhui was furious, "You actually used even Qiaoqiao!"
"It's not using her; we just asked her to identify someone."
Feng Wanhui was about to speak when she saw a few more videos. In these videos, she was seen following Lin Qiutong and taking pictures of her with her phone.
She clenched her fists, her face as pale as a demon from hell.
"I had been wondering why you harbored such animosity towards Qiqi every time you saw her, given that you had no prior grievances and Qiqi was very close friends with Mu Yuxin. It was only after seeing these that I understood. It was all for Lin Qiutong!"
Feng Wanhui's mind went blank. She had truly underestimated Shen Chiyan.
"That fifty thousand yuan must have been all your savings over the years. I also heard from Gao Kunlun that you went to your own daughter's shop to cause a scene to buy Lin Qiutong a 200,000 yuan bracelet as a birthday gift. It seems that in your heart, Lin Qiutong is more important than your own daughter. I'm very curious, who exactly is Lin Qiutong to you that you would be so ruthless for her?"
Feng Wanhui was completely panicked. Shen Chiyan had managed to uncover so much. Did he already know something?
What should she do?
If Shen Chiyan knew that Tongtong was her daughter, would he protect Tongtong? Or would he tell the Lin family?
Just as Feng Wanhui was contemplating what to do, Shen Chiyan suddenly smashed his wine glass to the ground. Feng Wanhui was startled and fell to the floor.
"You think you're doing this for Lin Qiutong's good? Do you know how much trouble your actions will cause her? Her carefully constructed image might be completely ruined because of you. Feng Wanhui, you're not helping her; you're harming her!"
Feng Wanhui knew that with things having come to this point, any further denial would be useless.
Moreover, looking at Shen Chiyan's demeanor, he might not yet know that Tongtong was his daughter. Therefore, if she took all the blame, Tongtong would not be affected in any way.
With this thought, Feng Wanhui suddenly knelt on the ground and crawled towards Shen Chiyan, grabbing his trouser leg. "Mr. Shen, it's all my fault. Miss Qiutong has nothing to do with this. I'll take full responsibility. Please, do not blame Miss Qiutong."
Shen Chiyan kicked Feng Wanhui away with disgust. If Feng Wanhui were not Mu Yuxin's mother, he would have wanted to tear her to pieces long ago.
"Gao Kunlun, record all her evidence. Don't miss a single detail."
"Yes!"
Shen Chiyan didn't want to spend another second with this woman. He got up and walked out of the private room. Gao Kunlun immediately followed. "Boss, how should we deal with this old woman?"
Shen Chiyan's brow was deeply furrowed. If it were anyone else, Shen Chiyan would have sent them to prison directly. However, given that Song Qinian and Mu Yuxin's friendship was involved, Shen Chiyan had to consider the implications.
"Keep her locked up for now!"
"Yes!"
...
As the Chinese New Year approached, Song Qinian had only one thought: to get Song Guanliang out of prison as soon as possible. She longed for a family reunion.
Lin Qiutong had been much more subdued recently, seemingly having given up on Shen Chiyan.
However, Song Qinian did not believe that Lin Qiutong would truly give up on Shen Chiyan. She suspected Lin Qiutong was plotting something.
Song Qinian heard about Feng Wanhui asking Mu Yuxin for two hundred thousand yuan to buy Lin Qiutong a bracelet from Gao Kunlun.
To others, Feng Wanhui appeared to be a fanatical fan who disregarded everything for her idol.
But Song Qinian was well aware of Feng Wanhui's true intentions: she wanted to give the best things to her own daughter.
The more she thought about it, the more Song Qinian felt that Mu Yuxin was being wronged. Just then, she received a birthday party invitation from Lin Qiutong. After pondering the card for a long time, she finally devised a plan.
On New Year's Eve, the Shen family was gathering at the old residence for dinner. Early in the morning, Song Qinian went to the old residence to help.
However, everyone knew her cooking skills, so for the sake of everyone's taste buds, Song Qinian was pulled aside by Shen Keqin to chat with Lin Zhuyin.
While it was called chatting, it was mostly Shen Keqin talking alone.
Song Qinian couldn't speak, and Lin Zhuyin was naturally aloof and quiet, so Shen Keqin had to bridge the gap between them.
But today, Shen Keqin seemed to be in a bad mood for some reason.
Shen Keqin was usually lively and cheerful, bouncing around every day unless she was sick. Seeing her looking so listless, Song Qinian worriedly gestured, "Qinqin, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
"No."
"Then why are you unhappy? Did someone upset you?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Keqin became indignant, "It's that scoundrel Jian Mubai."
Hearing Shen Keqin say this, Song Qinian realized that she hadn't seen Qinqin with Jian Mubai during their recent meetings.
"What did he do to you?"
"He..."
Thinking about the unpleasant incident made Shen Keqin annoyed.
As Shen Keqin's personal bodyguard, Jian Mubai had been by her side for nearly five years. Although Shen Keqin would vent all her anger on Jian Mubai when she was in a bad mood, she rarely lost her temper and treated him quite well.
The conflict between them was entirely due to Shen Keqin's rival.
Shen Keqin had a rival named Han Yunuo, the youngest daughter of the Han family. Like Shen Keqin, she was doted on by her family.
The two had been at odds since childhood, always competing for supremacy.
After the Shen family hired a bodyguard for Shen Keqin, Han Yunuo had her family arrange several bodyguards for her.
Han Yunuo would have her bodyguards challenge Jian Mubai whenever she pleased. However, Jian Mubai's skills were superior, and Han Yunuo's bodyguards were no match for him.
Just as the saying goes, "grass is greener on the other side," Han Yunuo set her sights on Jian Mubai and asked Shen Keqin to give him to her.
Shen Keqin naturally refused. Han Yunuo then began to pursue Jian Mubai. Later, Han Yunuo provoked Shen Keqin a few times, and Shen Keqin, being someone who couldn't be easily provoked, exchanged bodyguards with Han Yunuo in a fit of anger.
