Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 319: Chapter 319 Knowing the Truth
 

“Seven, six, five…”

Sister Lin, listening to Zhou You’s countdown, felt he was the devil.

“Three…”

“I’ll talk!”

When she shouted those words, Sister Lin felt her whole body relax, no longer holding any reservations.

“I’ll tell you! But you must promise not to harm my son, and to ensure no one knows it was me who spoke.”

Zhou You looked down at her, “It depends on whether what you are about to say is worth it.”

He seemed unhurried and composed, so Sister Lin didn’t give it much thought.

She genuinely believed this man wanted to get leverage over the Lu Family in business dealings.

And it was Qin Huan’s fault for not giving her the money, not her own for betraying her.

If Qin Huan had just given her the money, all would have been well.

It was Qin Huan’s mistake; she just wanted to protect her son.

Qin Huan thought she understood Sister Lin, but she didn’t comprehend the power of a mother’s love.

Even though Huang Hui was a bastard, he was always Sister Lin’s son.

A mother, it’s impossible for her to abandon her own flesh and blood.

Of course, there are exceptions.

“It was Qin Huan…”

Sister Lin said with a trembling voice, “Fifteen years ago, to keep the second young master uninterested in competing with the eldest for the position of heir to the Lu Group, she purposefully took the young miss out and left her…”

“Left her lost in the crowd, pretending it was an accident to distract the second young master, so he wouldn’t compete with the eldest.”

“This has nothing to do with me; I’m just a nanny. The lady of the house sent me away that day, and it was only because I followed quietly that I saw it all.”

Qin Huan bribed her with money, which she desperately needed, so she became an accomplice.

But at most, she was guilty of failing to report a crime; besides, the young miss was eventually found, so couldn’t this just be forgotten?

Zhou You clenched his fists, realizing that Professor Qiao had been abandoned!

How could she dare!

“You’re trying to fool me? Everyone knows the young miss of the Lu Family was kidnapped, not abandoned…”

“No no!” Sister Lin hastened to shake her head, saying with utmost certainty, “I don’t know anything about a kidnapping, nor if the lady of the house was involved.”

Kidnapping was a real violation of the law, and not reporting it was a crime in itself!

She wasn’t foolish to that extent.

Sister Lin hid something else, that in the year of the disappearance, someone named Gu Ming was also involved, but whether it was Gu Ming who abducted Qiao Yun.

She truly didn’t know.

All she knew was Qin Huan ordered Gu Ming to hide Qiao Yun away until the dust settled, and then Qiao Yun could return.

Latter, she heard from Qin Huan that Gu Ming had lost Qiao Yun.

Zhou You scrutinized Sister Lin and finally nodded, “I’ll take this information as equal to fifty thousand.”

“What? Just fifty thousand!” Sister Lin’s eyes widened.

She had lived in fear because of this incident for fifteen years, and it was only worth fifty thousand?

“Don’t be too greedy,” Zhou You sneered, “The remaining 250 thousand will depend on how you perform.”

Sister Lin said fearfully, “You, what do you want to do?”

“It’s simple. From now on, whatever happens in the Lu Family, you’ll tell me all about it, without omission.”

Sister Lin was astonished; was he making her a corporate spy?

Zhou You saw her hesitation, “Not willing? Your son…”

Sister Lin gritted her teeth, “Fine, fine, I agree with you.”

“Afterwards, you’ll pay off your debt depending on the significance of the information you bring me.”

Sister Lin collapsed onto the ground, her mind wholly occupied with how to repay the money, completely oblivious to why these people were so concerned with the Lu Family.

Zhou You paid no attention to Sister Lin.

He walked to the back of the storage room and pushed open a door.

His expression returned to the steady and reliable bodyguard, Zhou You.

“Professor Qiao, everything is arranged,” he said.

Qiao Yun stared at the surveillance screen before her, her dark eyes fixating on Sister Lin, and uttered a dispassionate “hmm.”
