Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself-Chapter 1309 - 1309 He Wants To Seek Justice For The Dead

1309 He Wants To Seek Justice For The Dead

On the surface, He Weinian had cried bitterly for his dead wife and children. He even almost fainted. However, he had secretly invited many people to exorcise the souls of his wife and children. He even conducted many rituals to keep ghosts away.

Cheng Juan was not a superstitious person. He did not believe that ghosts could take lives. The dead could not be revived. They could not tell the truth of what had happened back then, but he had always remained in this world. He wanted to seek justice for those who had died!

After the charity banquet ended, Cheng Juan bid farewell to He Weinian and left.

He Wenyin stood in a corner and stared at Cheng Juan’s departing figure. She had a feeling that this man was different from the rest. She could clearly see the flash of hatred in his eyes. He was so similar to her.

She looked away, her heart pounding.

After Cheng Juan left, the smile on Madam He’s face gradually vanished. She asked in a low voice, “Do you think Cheng Juan will believe you? Back then…”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already investigated him. Even if he continues to investigate, there won’t be any results.”

He Weinian said casually. Actually, he had long known that Cheng Juan was secretly investigating the 15 missing orphans. However, with his current status, it was very easy for him to forge evidence. He could give Cheng Juan a satisfactory answer and let him unravel the knot in his heart. This was not difficult for him.

That was why He Weinian kept probing Cheng Juan. After confirming that Cheng Juan did not suspect him, he could keep Cheng Juan by his side.

Hearing He Weinian’s words, Madam He’s expression softened a little. Then, she leaned over to He Weinian’s ear and said in a low voice, “Hubby, I haven’t been sleeping well recently. I dreamed of them…”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t scare yourself!” He Weinian frowned. His gaze suddenly became sharp, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

Seeing that the guests were still present, he recovered his expression and said disdainfully, “They couldn’t defeat me when I was alive. What can they do now that they’re dead? You’re just too timid. All ghosts and gods are just your imagination.”

Madam He nodded and comforted herself softly. “Y-Yes, they’re all fake. What’s there for me to be afraid of? They’re already dead.”

“Alright, don’t be so paranoid. You’re the madam of the He family, so you have to pay attention to your image at all times,” He Weinian reprimanded unhappily, then instructed, “Remember, don’t let Tingchen and He Wenyin hear about these things. Tingchen is pure and kind. He might continue to investigate out of curiosity. As for He Wenyin…

“We can’t easily believe He Wenyin either. In short, don’t let them know.”

Madam He nodded hurriedly. “I’ll remember.

“Hubby, I heard from Wenxian that Qiao Xi isn’t simple! Can we teach her a lesson?”

He Weinian nodded thoughtfully, then a gentle smile appeared on his face. He held Madam He’s hand and walked toward the crowd.

In everyone’s opinion, the couple was loving, their children were filial, and their family was happy. They were simply a model family. However, they did not know that behind such a glamorous scene was the blood and bones of many people.

…

Longwan Residential.

Qiao Xi sat in front of the computer, her eyes staring at the location of Scorching Heart. Ever since they left the banquet hall, the necklace had started moving. According to He Weinian, this necklace should have been sent to the He family’s foundation, but the current route was to the He family’s villa.

Gu Zheng chuckled, his eyes filled with disdain.

Qiao Xi leaned against the chair, slightly worried about Cheng Juan. After all, He Weinian was not a kind person. If Cheng Juan was exposed…

That night, Qiao Xi dreamed again. In her dream, she had long known Mo Yuan and remembered the seashell wind chime. However, the scene was different from before. A man appeared in front of her, but no matter what, she could not see the other party’s face clearly.

She saw the man give her a glass of water, and she took it without hesitation and drank it in one gulp. Not long after, her face revealed a shocked and sad expression as she whimpered in pain.

Qiao Xi had never been someone who was afraid of pain. She had been very strong since she was young, but one could sense from her expression in her dream that she must have felt heartbroken at that time. However, it did not seem to be physical pain but spiritual pain. It was obvious that she knew that man and even trusted him very much.

What was in that glass of water? Why was she in so much pain? However, she was clearly immune to poison. Even if she drank poisoned water, she would not have such a big reaction. Perhaps…

Perhaps it was not poison. The other party knew that she was immune to poison, so he drugged her with something else.
