Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 585: Two Choices?

Nobody expected the situation to develop in this direction.

A phone call was made, and soon after, a car arrived.

The personnel, all in uniform, were exclusive to this unit.

The arrivals had serious expressions, and in almost the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the yard.

Wei Qingmei stood in the yard with an unsightly expression, holding a nylon bag filled with apples.

She set the apples down on the bluestone pavement of the yard.

Glancing at Old Mr. Ji and Ji Xinyi, who stood there without uttering a word, Wei Qingmei anxiously explained, "This must be a misunderstanding. Everyone knows, ... my master no longer recognizes me, and even if I entered the yard, how could I have possibly gotten into the study?

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me; there must be a misunderstanding. Besides, I didn’t even know what you all were doing here before I came, and how could I possibly obtain such a thing? It’s simply unrealistic."

Ji Xinyi spoke up, "It doesn’t matter. What’s true will reveal itself, and what’s fake will stay fake. If you didn’t do it, no one will frame you for it."

What she said was as good as nothing.

Wei Qingmei glared at Ji Xinyi, who seemed to take pleasure in her misfortune, clenched her teeth, and stopped trying to explain.

Then, she was indeed taken away by these people.

The yard was left with only those who had been in the study just before.

They were all insiders; no outsiders were present.

Old Master Ji didn’t mind having those who protected Huai’an inside and outside his courtyard.

After all, it was normal, and to speak frankly, everyone here was worthy of protection.

Including his granddaughter, Little Nuan.

Song Yunuan pondered the sequence of events, then looked toward Gu Huai’an standing by her side.

Before Gu Huai’an could speak, Xia Xindong said, "Wei Qingmei is quite suspicious. The last time she saw me, she kept inquiring about the traditional Chinese medicine I was co-developing with Second Uncle."

Old Master Gu, "By rights, she has a certain connection to it, but she has no right to snoop around, which proves she’s very interested in this traditional Chinese medicine."

Gu Huai’an, "After my uncle told me, I listed Wei Qingmei as a prime suspect. The bug was just a means, taking advantage of the tide to see if we could get different results."

Song Yunuan had an epiphany. So this was a trap that Gu Huai’an had laid for Wei Qingmei. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Wei Qingmei had her eye on the uncle for a long time.

It seems this wasn’t an issue of a day or two. Yes, yes.

Song Yunuan’s eyes darted around, and suddenly, clapping her hands, she said, "Regardless of whether the bug has anything to do with her, since she stepped foot into this yard today, we should find a way to clear up the matter of my aunt being harmed back then without needing my aunt to recall that painful past."

From the plot, of course, Song Yunuan knew it was Wei Qingmei who had harmed Ji Xinyi.

Although Song Yunuan did not say it directly, she had already pointed out to Old Mr. Ji who the suspect was.

Old Master Ji had investigated for a long time, but to no avail.

How should it be put?

It was clear that Wei Qingmei was the one who did the misdeed, yet there was not a single piece of evidence.

This shows that when Wei Qingmei committed the act, she did so alone.

And she did it with extreme secrecy, planning everything meticulously.

Without any hesitation, Old Master Ji said, "It’s very safe here now, Little Nuan. Feel free to speak your mind."

As if a poisonous snake was lurking by his side, how could Old Master Ji be at ease?

Song Yunuan blinked, and staring straight ahead, she made up a blatant lie, "Before discussing any solutions, let me tell you something about Wei Qingmei, the Deputy Director. She has an incredible skill, which is to mimic others’ speech, so accurately that it’s almost indistinguishable from the real thing. I found out by chance and didn’t think much of it initially, but just now, it occurred to me. My aunt is so reluctant to recall the past; could it be that Wei Qingmei pretended to be Second Grandpa and spoke in a manner that my aunt overheard, and the content of the speech was definitely unpleasant and jarring?"

"If that is really the case, my eldest aunt must have been heartbroken and in great pain back then. Following that, such an incident occurred, and after losing her memory, this part of her memory must have been a huge blow to her. She definitely wouldn’t want to remember it."

Old Master Ji suddenly froze.

He had never actually considered it from that angle before.

Also, what does it mean that Wei Qingmei can mimic others when speaking?

Mimic someone’s speech?

How could she mimic someone’s speech?

Why does it sound so unreal?

Old Master Gu’s eyes widened in shock as he asked, "Mimic someone’s speech? Do you mean imitate? Like ventriloquism?"

Song Yunuan chuckled, "Exactly, Grandpa Gu, that’s what I mean."

Everyone was greatly alarmed.

Xia Xindong had been aware of this earlier, so he remained calm, but the others were unaware. However, if they were close to Little Nuan, they should have been accustomed to the unusual.

Song Yunuan continued, "Actually, the so-called solution is based on the items Secretary Xiao Wu found just now.

With these items, our claims have weight, and Wei Qingmei needs to cooperate unconditionally."

"To deal with someone like Wei Qingmei, we can’t go down the usual path. We only give her two choices: one is to admit how she harmed my eldest aunt initially; the second choice is to admit she secretly planted the listening device in Second Grandpa’s study."

"She can only pick one. Of course, we can hint that we know about her special skill, but if she confesses how she harmed my eldest aunt, then her skill really doesn’t matter much. Whether she admits it or not is irrelevant. Regardless of which country she is colluding with, harming people’s lives is punishable by death, but if everything can be uncovered, that would be best."

Just as Song Yunuan had said, the events unfolded in that manner.

After marrying Big Shot Qian, Wei Qingmei gave birth to a son.

He’s just started elementary school now.

Then there’s the Wei family.

Wei Qingmei has an older brother and a younger brother, and her parents have always favored sons over daughters.

The three middle daughters were never valued much.

Ever since Wei Qingmei became successful, her parents started to hold her in the palm of their hands.

When she returned to her parental home, she was treated like a pampered guest.

Her son was also treated like a little emperor in the Wei family.

So, during the interrogation, they summoned her parents, her older brother, and her younger brother as well.

These people were truly terrified.

If the evidence is conclusive, then the crimes Wei Qingmei has committed are among the most terrifying—treason, espionage, and more.

If this charge is confirmed, the entire Wei family would be ruined.

Not only would the Wei family be over, but the Qian family would also be completely destroyed.

Old Master Qian wished he could kill her himself.

The Qian family has only just managed to avoid attention, surviving by the skin of their teeth, and now Wei Qingmei has dropped a huge bombshell.

If she confirms the facts, then the life of her grandson would be over.

The unimpressive eldest son would likely become even less impressive.
