Chapter 403: I Never Knew You Were Still a Sentimental Person

Yan Qingsi did not just want revenge. If she wanted someone dead, she had many methods to do that. It really was not too difficult.

However, she wanted the truth of what happened that year to be revealed. She wanted everyone to know that her biological mother Nie Qiuping was no mistress nor a homewrecker, and she did not steal anyone’s man. She was only a poor woman who was killed by a wretched couple.

Yan Songnan shook his head vehemently. “Impossible, no… It’s a homicide. If it were really to be exposed, even if the Ye family doesn’t kill me, I’ll be given the death sentence.”

Yan Qingsi laughed sardonically and said, “A cold case from 10 years ago, and you coming forward to confess of your own accord? They’d give you a commuted sentence at worst, with an unlimited term. Do you think they mete out death sentences so willy nilly these days? Previously, there was a guy who murdered a family of four. They only gave him a commuted death sentence. It’s like you said, you’re willing to sit in jail for the rest of your life as long as you can live. Isn’t this outcome the same as what you’ve described?”

Yan Songnan thought about what Yan Qingsi said. Confliction showed in his eyes. “But… what if… What if they do give me the death sentence? I wouldn’t have any means to keep living.”

Yan Qingsi chuckled and said, “Then you should just show more meritorious behavior!”

“What meritorious behavior?”

“Reporting a crime! In a homicide, you have perpetrators and accomplices. If you confess and push everything onto the perpetrator, that will solve everything. Besides, you forgot who’s behind me—it’s Yue Tingfeng. He can’t get you out of jail, but he can let you live. You should be well aware of who’s stronger and who’s weaker between the Yue and Ye family. You’re a smart man. I’m sure you know what you should choose between the two.”

Yan Songnan’s eyes narrowed. Yan Qingsi’s every word had exploited the weakness in his heart.

He knew very well the only person who could help him was Yan Qingsi, but there was always a price to pay for her help.

Yan Qingsi spread her hands and said. “Of course, I’d have nothing to say if you want to bear all of the responsibility.”

“Huh, I could never tell that you were still such a sentimental person. Pity, no matter how deep your sentiments run, the Ye family will still leave you to die,” Yan Qingsi remarked.

Yan Songnan clenched his fist tightly. Even though he really was not a very emotional man, Yan Qingsi’s words still caused his mind to race. Regardless of whether he spoke up or not the Ye family would not forgive him anyway.

If that were so, why should he keep Ye Lingzhi’s secrets?

Would he really let her be so smug and happy after he died?

Agreeing to Yan Qingsi’s demand would leave him a lifeline. If he did not agree… then he would have nothing to save himself with.

Yan Qingsi watched Yan Songnan coldly. Three years ago she was a convict and Yan Songnan had come to visit her.

Three years later, they meet again but the tables have been turned.

As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever; another way to put it would be that people were so pitiful.

Yan Songnan sat in front of her back then—his every word meaningless platitude. If she had not made any contingencies for herself then she would still be sitting in jail.

Yan Songnan was already wavering but he knew that his daughter was ruthless, so he asked, “I can agree to this but how can I trust your words?”

Yan Qingsi spread her hands again and said, “Because if you don’t agree, you’ll die. Life and death lie before you, but the choice is yours to make as to which one you choose. Similarly, whether or not you believe me is completely up to you. In any case, whether you live or die is really of no consequence to me.”
