Chapter 981: If you kill me, the secret will be exposed.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Do you think that by killing me, you can cover up the crimes committed by you and your father?”
Pei Shishi pursed her lips when her thoughts were guessed correctly by the other.
“Stop dreaming. Do you remember what I said about having evidence?”
Pei Ge stared coldly at her as darkness flashed past her eyes.
“The evidence is in my mother’s hand. As long as I go missing from your home today, you and your father will become the primary suspects tomorrow.” She smiled at her cousin mockingly. “Do you still want to kill me right now?”
“You! Where did you get the evidence?! All the CCTVs in that area were destroyed!”
Pei Shishi looked at the other woman in bafflement. No matter how hard she tried, she could not figure out how the latter got hold of the evidence.
She had a clear recollection of that day. All the CCTVs were not working; she heard her father saying that he had tasked someone to destroy all the security cameras in the area.
Therefore, besides her and her father, only the driver knew of what had transpired there that day.
There’s no way for others to know!
How did Pei Ge learn of it, then? She even got hold of some evidence!
Everything seemed so difficult to understand.
“That’s right. All the CCTVs in that area were destroyed, but no matter how much you guys schemed, you didn’t predict my dad to carry a recorder with him!”
The other sneered at her, looking very calm.
“What?! Recorder?!” She was stunned at that. “How could that be possible?! How could big uncle carry around a recorder with him?! Do you think that this is a TV drama?! Fancy carrying a recorder!”
She did not believe her words for once so she replied without much thought.
Also, because of this statement, she began to doubt whether the other truly had evidence or not.
“He he! Right.” Pei Ge did not refute her words and, instead, nodded smilingly. “Life is indeed not a TV drama, but I actually gave dad a recorder because of it.”
Her lips curled up as she looked coldly at her cousin.
“You probably don’t know that the watch I gave my father had a recording function. With its help, I learned all that had occurred at that time.”
Pei Shishi was stunned by her words.
Watch? Watch?
She mulled on this for a while before finally recalling the watch that she was talking about.
That watch did appear cheap. Big uncle was already wealthy at that time, so he could afford watches worth over hundreds of thousands, yet he never replaced that black watch.
Even when some pointed out that his watch was too cheap, he never removed it.
It turns out that… the watch was given to him by Pei Ge…
“Oh, yeah! You got one thing right. It’s true that I got the info from Qiao Jingyun.” Seeing her stunned look, Pei Ge curled up her lips before she revealed this.
In fact, she was sure that Qiao Jingyun was harboring ill will regardless of the latter telling her the truth about her father’s death.
She felt that that woman had ulterior motives, so she exposed her name readily at the moment.
“Indeed! It’s truly that b*tch!”
Her cousin instantly raged when she learned of this.
Meanwhile, she was not too bothered by her reaction and just kept talking. “At that time, while I didn’t know why she told me about this, her words sounded true, so I had my doubts. This was when I recalled having given my dad a watch with a recording function; I went to look for the items that my father left behind.”
“In the end… what I didn’t expect was that, when I turned on the watch’s recording, I would learn that my father did not die from an accident but…” As she said this, she stared at her cousin with eyes full of hatred. “To you guys, a pair of evil father and daughter!”
Seeing the immense hatred in her eyes, Pei Shishi could not help but shiver.
However, as though she had thought of something, she blinked and showed a remorseful face.
“Ge Ge, I know that it’s my fault! It’s my father’s fault, too, but since it’s been so many years—”
Pei Ge could not be bothered to listen to her cousin’s sweet talks and interrupted coldly, “I’m giving you guys three days to turn yourselves in at the police station. If not, I will hand over my evidence to the police, and when it comes to that, you two will spend more time in jail.”
“Turn ourselves in…”
Pei Shishi was stunned to hear this.
Turn myself in? I’ve never thought of that, but right now…
“That’s right. This is my last bit of kindness to you two. Turning yourselves in and being arrested by the police are different matters, and the sentence for each is different as well, so think about it carefully!”
Seeing the other’s dazed look, Pei Ge let out a smirk.
When she turned around to leave, something stopped her at the entrance to the bedroom.
“Oh, right. There’s one more thing that I almost forgot to tell you.”
Hearing this, Pei Shishi gathered her thoughts and looked at the other with a pleading appearance.
“Qiao Jingyun said that she’s willing to testify in court if I require it.”
Having said that, Pei Ge left her cousin’s room without a backward glance.
The latter was left standing in the room where she broke down and vented all her fury.
Pak!
With her departure from the bedroom, she heard its door closing and felt that something was amiss.
Aye? That’s weird. When I entered Pei Shishi’s room, the door was closed.
Why… then was it not closed but slightly ajar when I left?
Did I forget to close the door properly? I remembered closing it, though… Why was it open, then?
She frowned but, after some time, stopped thinking about it.
