Chapter 1919: How Did She Know?
Looking at his granddaughter, who had suffered such a huge setback yet was still able to face life positively, Elder Wu regained his strength.
“Nuannuan, thank you! I feel much better now. I’ll be fine once I head back and take some medicine.”
“This acupuncture treatment will take 20 minutes, after which your heart will feel even better than it did even before the heart attack.”
“Really?” Wu Pingting exclaimed happily. “Thank you so much, Nuannuan!”
“It’s nothing, really, it’s nothing.”
“Nuannuan, how did you know that Xu Yunyun and... and Wu Zongxu were the ones who harmed me?”
Wu Pingting had been about to call him Second Brother, but then she remembered what he had done to her. She felt that even though she would be able to accept this tragedy and continue to live a good life, she would probably never forgive Wu Zongxu in this lifetime.
Thus, from that moment onward, Wu Zongxu was no longer her second brother.
“I only guessed about Xu Yunyun. It was my Big Brother Chi Yang who told me that Wu Zongxu could have been involved. He said that Wu Zongxu’s face gave it away. When he faced you, his cousin, he looked at you more lovingly than your own brother did. Also, when we first came through the Wu family’s front door and saw Wu Zongxu holding a Barbie doll and teasing you with tears in his eyes, Chi Yang felt that there was something off about him. After he told me about Wu Zongxu this afternoon, I at first planned to return and suss him out. However, when I came back, I saw Xu Yunyun first. Her hatred toward you and me was blatantly obvious. So, I guessed that Wu Zongxu might not have been the only one involved. Xu Yunyun must have been in on it too. So, after she left, I lied to Wu Zongxu and told him that I had put a hidden camera on Xu Yunyun.”
“So Xu Yunyun doesn’t actually have a camera?”
“Nope, she doesn’t!” Nuannuan nodded. “But there is one in this room!”
Then, Nuannuan walked over to the opposite side of the bed and retrieved a camera from under the bedside table. “This contains a recording of a conversation between Wu Zongxu and Xu Yunyun. His phone also has a record of the call. These two pieces of evidence are enough to convict Xu Yunyun. As for determining whether Xu Yunyun or Wu Zongxu was the mastermind responsible for planning and financing the attack, we can let the police investigate that. However, the Xu family is not an ordinary family. If the Wu family and the Xu family go against each other...”
“Since the Xu family dared to attack my daughter, they clearly already have no respect for the Wu family. If they still dare to interfere in Xu Yunyun’s conviction even when the evidence is conclusive, the worst that can happen is a fallout between our two families. If my family can’t even protect our own children and grandchildren, how can we talk about being the number one family in Sea District?” Wu Jingcheng said angrily.
Nuannuan thought for a moment and nodded. “If there’s anything you need help with, you can ask me.”
“Okay. Thank you, Nuannuan.”
Previously, Wu Jingcheng had been too embarrassed to befriend Nangong Nuannuan due to who she was. Now, he sincerely treated her as a junior whom he loved and cared for. He was happy that his daughter had made such a powerful and kind friend.
A call came in from Wu Jingcheng’s phone. He answered and asked, “Have you caught the person? Hmph! No matter what the Xu family wants, get the police to arrest her immediately. I’ll come over right away to handle this matter!”
After he hung up, Nuannuan took the initiative to hand the camera to Wu Jingcheng. She told him, “There’s a chip inside.”
