"If the Tang Sect wants to refute everything, I'm afraid we will have to hold press conferences every day. Besides, the police don't have direct evidence to incriminate us, the Tang Sect."
Qiqi sat up from the bed and looked at him straight in the eyes, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"In fact, I just recently started to investigate this matter again and re-read the police's files from that year."
"Then, who is the murderer?" Qiqi thought seriously, "When my father died, besides your people, there was only..."
Thinking of this, Qiqi was shocked and looked at Tang Jue in disbelief, "If it wasn't your people, then... you mean, it was the police who killed my dad?"
Tang Jue's eyes deepened, "So... you believe me?"
Qiqi was also stunned by his question. In fact, she didn't know if this could be considered trust. Perhaps, based on his words, she immediately cleared him of the charges in her heart. This was a very irrational, even blind, thing. However, she just hoped that everything would be as he said.
That way, she wouldn't have to feel conflicted, uncomfortable, or suppress herself...
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Qiqi looked at him steadily.
"You can trust me. And, if you want to know, I will expose the murderer quickly."
"So... you already know who the murderer is?" Qiqi stared at her.
Tang Jue brushed away the strands of hair on her cheek and touched her face. "It's just a guess for now, but sooner or later, you will fall into the trap."
His tone was always indifferent, but his tone showed that he was confident and had a plan in mind, which made people have to believe him.
Qiqi believed it.
At least, at this moment, she would rather believe that Tang Jue is not the murderer!
"If they are really from the police..." Qiqi's eyes darkened, "My father has been kind to everyone for so many years, taking care of everyone. Who on the police side has such a big grudge against him that they want to kill him under such circumstances?"
"Killing people is either to vent hatred or to hurt one's own interests. Since your father has never made enemies with anyone, the only thing he can consider is his own interests."
Benefit.
Qiqi thought for a moment and shook her head. "I was only 12 years old at the time, and I had little knowledge of the relationships around my dad. But... my uncle was there the day my dad got into trouble. Maybe he knows something about the situation."
At this point, she looked at Tang Jue and said, "Do I need to discuss this matter with my uncle? Maybe I can find out something by asking him."
"Given your uncle's misunderstanding of me, do you think he will trust me like you do?"
"..." Qiqi shook her head, "No. Before all the direct evidence is revealed, he will never believe you."
Tang Jue nodded, "So, try not to mention what I said to you today in front of your uncle."
At this point, he paused, his eyes looking deeper, "One day, sooner or later, he will know all the truth. Or..."
Is to tell the whole truth.
Tang Jue didn't say the last sentence.
Qiqi looked at him sideways, and always felt that his expression was complicated and difficult to discern. Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense, she vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple. But what was the truth
She looked at Tang Jue deeply. She clearly thought that this man was the murderer she hated the most, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt that this man was someone she could rely on and trust.
"The housekeeper said you didn't have dinner last night, are you hungry now?" Tang Jue didn't keep the topic on this matter. Originally, he planned to delay for a while before explaining it to her, but now was a good time to explain it to her.
only…
When the truth of all things is revealed, I'm afraid she will find it even more difficult to accept.
"Yeah, a little bit."
"Then change into your pajamas and let's go get something to eat."
Qiqi followed instructions, took her pajamas to the changing room, and came out changed into them.
————
The housekeeper was trembling with fear at first. This was because the two masters of the family were in a very bad mood. No, to be more precise, Miss Qi's mood was very unstable, which directly led to the young master's mood being very bad. Therefore, he had already told everyone in the family to be careful to avoid getting into trouble.
result…
By the time the two people came downstairs, the housekeeper's eyes were about to pop out.
How can this person look like he's in a bad mood
Moreover, the two of them were sweeter than ever before, and looked like a young couple in love.
"Butler, the young master doesn't seem unhappy."
"Miss Qi seems to be in a good mood now."
The servants were talking quietly. The housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief, "Young people are like this, they are moody. Don't waste time, get busy."
—
"So, grandpa only told you about the eyes eight years ago?" Tang Jue asked her at the dining table.
"Yeah." Thinking about it now, Qiqi still feels very touched. Removing the cornea means immediate blindness. How could he be so stupid!
"It seems that grandpa is not very idle."
"I went to the hospital today and met my former attending physician. She said that many young nurses and female doctors in the hospital were thinking about you. Professor Tian still remembers you."
Tang Jue didn't really care. He just picked up some food and put it in her bowl, then replied calmly, "Really?"
Qiqi glanced at him. Even his profile was impeccable, no wonder he was on others' mind.
Qiqi immediately thought of Qiyu...
The person that Qi Yu is so obsessed with and admires must be him.
"Have you ever really shown kindness to my sister?" Qiqi didn't quite believe it. She thought Qiyu must have misunderstood.
"To show goodwill?" Tang Jue was quite dissatisfied with these two words. "Asking her to bring you porridge upstairs, does that count as a show of goodwill?"
"She said, you know where they live."
"I don't know where she lives, how can I pick you up?"
as expected.
Qiqi sighed, Qiyu was overthinking. However, many things really make people overthink.
"What are you thinking about?" Tang Jue saw her frowning and looking worried, so he could only say, "Eat well."
"My sister... seems to like you a little." Qiqi told him the truth.
"Your sister said that?" Tang Jue put down his chopsticks, side-glanced at her, squinted, "You have a good relationship with your sister, are you planning to give me to her? Oh, you said before that your sister should pledge herself to me."
Tang Jue looked at her with a smile, waiting for her reaction.
Qiqi feels chest tightness.
But she smiled very gently and considerately, "Okay, since you care so much about me, I'll go back and tell my sister that you hope she will marry me. I think my sister will definitely agree."
