Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 320 - : Are You Really Going to Send Her to Jail?

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Are You Really Going to Send Her to Jail?

Pei Yao stood with his arms crossed, sneakily fishing for compliments, “How was it, the show was quite something, wasn’t it?”

Despite his smiling face, his heart was already ablaze with anger.

The disappearance of Professor Qiao turned out to be man-made, and it was committed by the Lu Family’s own people.

Yet the culprit was living well, and the Lu Family had never suspected her.

Pei Yao pursed his lips tightly, unsure whether to call the Lu Family stupid or to say they were united and trusting of their family members, which is why they had not suspected Qin Huan.

He felt it was totally unfair to Professor Qiao, the Lu Family didn’t deserve to be her family.

...

Pei Yao looked at Qiao Yun with concern in his eyes.

All he saw was her staring at the surveillance screen, silent, her expression still devoid of emotion, though her heart might not feel the same.

Pei Yao, having never comforted Professor Qiao before, stumbled over his words, “Don’t think too much about it. Your parents are still alright towards you. The one at fault is Qin Huan, she’s just too good at pretending; that’s why your family didn’t find out, didn’t help you seek revenge…”

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, her expression solemn.

Pei Yao: “…”

Damn it.

Professor Qiao is unhappy now.

Pei Yao signaled Zhou You with his eyes: Go comfort Professor Qiao.

Zhou You: I’m invisible, I’m not a person.

The Professor Qiao in need of comforting was too horrifying.

Pei Yao was scratching his head in desperation, worrying to the point of almost losing his hair.

Then he heard Qiao Yun speak.

“Does this count as the crime of abandonment, or intentional injury?”

Pei Yao: “Huh?”

Qiao Yun tapped her fingers lightly on her knee, “But Qin Huan isn’t my guardian, so it doesn’t constitute the crime of abandonment. However, the sentence for abandonment is longer than for intentional injury, but the sentence can also be determined based on the severity of the circumstances.”

Pei Yao: “…”

There you go, he’d been worried all this time.

Professor Qiao was actually considering what charges to press against Qin Huan, what a thought process.

Qiao Yun sighed, “If it was abandonment, a few more years could be added to the sentence.”

Pei Yao was at a loss for words, “Aren’t you thinking too far ahead? We haven’t even found all the evidence yet.”

Qiao Yun nodded vigorously, agreeing, “We’ll report it to the police once all the evidence is found.”

Pei Yao was still a bit dumbfounded, “You really want to send her to jail?”

Qiao Yun was puzzled as she answered, “Why not send her? She got rid of me and indirectly caused me to be kidnapped. She made a mistake and must be punished.”

“Aren’t you worried they’ll hate you because of this? The young master of the Lu Family, he’s pretty good to you, right? If you do this to his mom, will he still be nice to you?”

Pei Yao was referring to Lu Shiran, proving that Professor Qiao acknowledged him since she personally approached Tianqi Research Institute to contact Lu Shiran.

If she now sends his mother to jail, would he not harbor any resentment?

Even if his mother did wrong, after all, she’s his mother, and in the face of family bonds, many people would overlook right and wrong.

“I don’t care.” Qiao Yun’s voice was indifferent, “If he wants to hate, that’s fine.”

These external factors wouldn’t stop her from investigating.

Qin Huan’s actions indirectly led to the death of the original Qiao Yun.

The real Qiao Yun had already been killed by Qin Huan, and living as the replacement for the original, she must seek justice for her.

Moreover, if the Lu Family parents knew, they would hate Qin Huan to the core.

As for Lu Shiran…

Qiao Yun furrowed her brows, “He will understand.”

Maybe he would hate her, maybe not, but one thing was sure, they wouldn’t see each other again.

With that thought, Qiao Yun’s eyelashes drooped slightly, and there was a faint sense of reluctance.

Pei Yao couldn’t help but laugh, “Every time I feel like you’ve changed, your actions tell me you haven’t.”

Normal people would be conflicted due to various factors, but Qiao Yun didn’t even consider them before deciding Qin Huan’s fate.

Qiao Yun’s expression was indifferent, noncommittal.

But she knew, she had indeed changed.

In the past, this matter would have been laid bare before the Lu Family long ago.

“Her words, are they true or false?” Pei Yao was asking about Mrs. Lin’s testimony.

Qiao Yun: “Half-true, half-false.”

Mrs. Lin’s claim that she was not involved might be false.

To protect herself and blame the accomplice was a natural human instinct.

Pei Yao frowned.

Qiao Yun continued, “She didn’t mention Gu Ming.”

Pei Yao was momentarily stunned, “Gu Ming? Who’s that?”

“Lu Ting’s biological father, who had dealings with Qin Huan,” Qiao Yun said unhurriedly, “I didn’t know what the dealings were before, but now it’s clear they’re related to this matter.”

“How do you know? Did you get someone else to check? Who is it? Daring to take my job!” Pei Yao’s first reaction wasn’t to ask about what had happened, but to become jealous first.

Truly, Professor Qiao’s good child.

Qiao Yun: “Li Hanzhou, he’s been investigating ever since I was kidnapped in Hai City, and he was the first to find out that these two kidnapping cases were somewhat connected. It’s hard to refuse a friend who wants to help.”

Pei Yao was furious, erupting in a series of, “He’s scheming, sinister, petty, ambitious, unscrupulous…”

Qiao Yun’s eyelid twitched, then she drily said, “Misusing idioms again, one thousand times.”

“And it’s not ethical to speak ill of someone behind their back.”

Pei Yao felt stifled; what he said wasn’t incorrect after all.

He said sullenly, “Having dealings doesn’t necessarily mean it’s related to this case; it could be something else.”

He needed to prove that Li Hanzhou’s investigation was wrong and definitely didn’t want to admit that someone had beaten him to the punch.

Pei Yao’s and Li Hanzhou’s directions in their investigations were completely different; Pei Yao started with people close to Qin Huan while Li Hanzhou was more direct, wiretapping Qin Huan.
